Chapter 1059: Shadow of Scapa Flow ⑤ The Man in the Mirror
"I heard there's a saying in Donghuang that goes, 'If you run too far, your horse will die.' What are we now?"
Elizabeth complained rather helplessly, but no one around her responded.
Elizabeth, who felt a little bored, just complained. After all, when she was dealing with troublesome enemies while moving forward and suddenly found out that the goal she set was actually an unreachable target point, her mood was naturally not good.
"The number of enemies is still increasing. Although the combat effectiveness of a single unit is not as exaggerated as before, it is very time-consuming to safely clean up these corroded ships."
War-weary said helplessly, and Elizabeth nodded:
"I know, so I don't mean to blame you. Since we can't go back to the anchorage now, it is very important to decide which direction we should go next. Although our positioning device has not failed, we need to worry about the reliability of positioning when the communication is completely blocked."
"It seems that the enemy does not want us to enter the Scapa Flow anchorage, but this intention is very obvious. I think this is very likely to be a cover-up. She should be able to realize this. If our enemy is not a guy who suddenly turned into a fool, then it seems better for us to follow the trend and enter Scapa Flow."
Elizabeth was thinking distressedly, but at this moment, the command ship suddenly shook violently. Although the things in the cabin were fixed well, those placed there were in trouble.
Especially those delicate tea cups, trays and other items flew out the moment they were shaken.
Although the maids present responded quickly, the room was already in a mess when the violent shaking that lasted for half a minute gradually subsided.
A lot of papers flew everywhere. Although the important documents were well protected and most of the equipment was rescued by the maids, some of the equipment was still damaged. The hot water and tea leaves also destroyed some things, making the table and everyone's bodies look dirty.
Hermione and Sheffield rushed out after putting away the equipment, and Elizabeth immediately asked in the communication channel:
"What happened just now? Was the fleet damaged?"
"Your Majesty, the impact just now was caused by an abnormal explosion. The source of the explosion has not been found yet, and the fleet has not suffered any actual damage."
"Befa, as long as there is no damage."
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, but given the current situation, it seemed that the meeting could not continue.
"Anyway, let's try to see what kind of reaction we will get if we follow the other party's guidance."
On the other side, Yang Sikang stood in the command room, observing the huge waves caused by the explosion and the rather exaggerated data feedback through external cameras.
"Sure enough, the problem is in the water."
Yang Sikang laughed happily.
Leave markers while moving, collect samples and use Bai Ze's computing power to analyze and calculate, and then directly produce the results when the time is right.
Originally, Yang Sikang wanted to confirm the underwater situation, but he did not expect that the data fed back by the collector would indicate that there was a problem underwater.
Three missiles were fired directly into the water at close range, and thanks to Bai Ze's control, they were detonated at the right position, thus maximizing the impact.
"With such a big reaction, if we were in the same area as the Royal Fleet, they should have discovered it, right?"
Yang Sikang said with a smile, then looked towards the deck.
After learning that there was a problem underwater, the three-person submarine team, which was already in perfect condition, was already feeling a little impatient.
"Big bluefin tuna, remember not to be impulsive."
"I know, I know. Commander, you are too worried. I remember it very clearly~"
Big bluefish nodded repeatedly, and Yang Sikang, who had repeatedly reminded him, shook his head helplessly.
The big bluefin tuna took the lead and dived into the water, followed by the other two. The screen in front of Yang Sikang quickly projected what the three of them had observed.
The original result of low underwater safety obtained through scanning with sonar and other equipment was obviously completely different from what the bluefish and her friends saw in the water now. Not only that, the sea water that had turned red still remained its normal blue in the eyes of the bluefish and her friends. The previous worries seemed to be completely in vain. The feedback from the three ship girls also showed that they did not find any problems with the water quality.
Soon, the submarine team's search area arrived at the area where the previous explosion occurred. The sea conditions here were obviously worse. Although dozens of minutes had passed, it still had not completely calmed down.
The Songhai found a large amount of wreckage and fragments here, and based on the analysis of the edge structure of the fragments, Yang Sikang had already confirmed that these wreckages were from the Siren ships before they even sent back the fragment samples.
The inactive fungi found among them indicate that these things have been more or less eroded.
After confirming the existence of the erosion phenomenon, Yang Sikang immediately asked the three to return to the command ship for inspection, and during this period he also learned more information from the three ship girls.
"Well, let's collect the samples and then we can move on."
Yang Sikang nodded and said, his attitude seemed a little relaxed, as if he didn't care much about these issues.
After confirming that there was no problem with the body, the three submarine girls went into the water again. After a search and collection of various samples, the three of them returned to the command ship.
"Rodney, Nelson, you guys should also return to the command ship."
Yang Sikang suddenly said that this arrangement was obviously unexpected for the two people who were fighting. However, before Nelson had time to ask, Rodney answered first:
"Yes, Commander. We'll be right back."
Seeing that Rodney had responded, Nelson clicked his tongue unhappily:
"Although our speed is relatively slow, it shouldn't be necessary, right?"
"Hehe, sister, you misunderstood the commander."
Rodney smiled and said:
"Commander, are you planning to have us go back and replenish our ammunition? After all, we two have consumed the most ammunition during the march just now."
"But it's not yet to the point where we need supplies, right?"
"That's why we have to go back quickly."
Nelson frowned, but followed Rodney.
The two returned to the Gu Diao, and as expected, Yang Sikang immediately said:
"There is no time to explain now. You should go and resupply and perform maintenance first. Ensure your own condition. If any equipment is damaged, replace it with a new one. There are spares on board."
After the two left, Zhen Hai, who had been silent, looked up at Yang Sikang:
"Are you planning to use these two as the main attackers later?"
"Correct."
Yang Sikang smiled and nodded:
"Comprehensively speaking, their firepower and ammunition are the most suitable for this mission. After all, we didn't make any preparations before, and who would want to send a ship underwater for no reason..."
