Chapter 1225 "Shirley" attacks

A large piece of dark cloud is slowly moving from the southeast towards the sea area where the [-] ship is located. Behind that piece of dark cloud is the last wind signal of the year, a tropical storm code-named Shirley.According to the latest news from the National Astronomical Observatory, Shirley's central wind has reached level [-], and the gust has exceeded level [-], and there is a trend of further strengthening. It is regarded as the strongest wind signal this year.

The K9 helicopter took off from the landing platform at the rear of ship 9527, flew over ship [-], and then landed on the helicopter landing platform of ship [-].

Director Zhang personally came to greet Li Mu. Li Mu walked quickly out of the landing platform with his hat pressed down. Amidst the noise of the helicopter's roaring engine and the sound of the blades slapping the air, he talked loudly with Director Zhang. Wang Guoqing and Song Xiaojiang followed closely behind.

"Chairman Li, the observatory's forecast shows that Shirley will not pass through our waters, but I still have a worry. The sea and air are unpredictable, and we must come up with a charter." Director Zhang led Li Mu along Follow the aisle and spiral staircase to board the deck of ship [-].

Li Mu said, "I asked the Naval Observatory, but they couldn't be 100% sure of Shirley's movement path."

After a pause, he said, "There is a weather detection plane on board [-], let's fly it."

Director Zhang nodded, "We are already making preparations."

The wave height has actually been strengthening, reaching a level of four meters, and has been strengthening, which shows that Shirley's influence has begun to take effect.

The [-] ship carries a weather detection drone with a maximum range of [-] kilometers, which can provide long-distance weather observation. In theory, it can provide at least ten hours of early warning for the mother ship to avoid typhoons.However, in actual operation, such a long warning time cannot be obtained.

In the command cabin of the ship building, staff members in blue and white colors were busy step by step. The atmosphere was similar to the atmosphere on board 9527, where they were fighting against time.

Director Zhang introduced, "This time we mainly went 2000 meters underground to extract samples for oil and gas analysis. The operating depth of the 3000 ship reached [-] meters. This technical indicator is one of the best in the world. Due to limitations of objective factors, Our development of this sea area has been at a standstill for a long time. If we miss the time, we must catch up in small steps to ensure the security of our country's energy strategy."

After a brief introduction, the topic turned back to Shirley.

"Chairman Li, will the gangsters from the west and the Northern Federal warships from the east continue to break into this place?" Director Zhang asked.

Li Mu said, "They won't give up, but don't worry too much. I guarantee they won't even have a chance to see the [-] ship."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Chairman Li, I have gone to sea a lot. A few days ago, I accompanied the leaders of the head office to visit various oil fields. They started from the Bohai Sea by boat and visited each oil field one by one, and then went south to the East China Sea, Coral Sea, Go one by one. It can be said that no matter where you go, there will always be ships from the Northern Federation following you. Sometimes they are warships, sometimes they are intelligence ships, and you have also encountered their planes. It is really as annoying as flies. "

After a pause, he said, "In today's situation, they can't even see my [-] ship. This situation has never been seen before."

There was no lack of admiration in his words, he said, "Chairman Li, your ship and sea tactics are correct."

Li Mu said, "Tactics are one thing, and our gradually increasing strength is the biggest reliance. In the past, our navy was very weak, with only a few ships capable of long voyages, let alone the coast guard. Now, We want a boat, a boat, money, and money. Naturally, it is completely different. The situation in the past is gone forever."

After a pause, Li Mu asked, "Can your work be speeded up?"

Director Zhang turned to look at the chief engineer beside him. The chief engineer thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but no matter how fast it is, it will still take twelve hours."

Li Mu raised his wrist and looked at the time. "According to the speed of Shirley's movement, it will reach the western sea in ten hours. If its movement path changes, we will be covered."

Everyone pondered.

The weather is unpredictable, and the most elusive thing is the weather.

Li Mu came here precisely to discuss and solve the current problem.

Director Zhang said, "Speaker Li, I see it this way. I will try my best to speed up the process and strive to complete it ahead of schedule. At the same time, we will be prepared to withstand the typhoon."

"That's all we can do now." Li Mu paused and said seriously, "Zhang Ju, we can't affect the weather. If Shirley has an unavoidable impact on operations, then we must evacuate."

"Understood!" Director Zhang nodded.

Li Mu said, “In addition, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must carry out the operation to the end.”

"Yes." Director Zhang nodded again, unconsciously placing himself in a subordinate position, but he was completely unaware of it.

Li Mu said, "Let me meet your diver."

"To Homework Class A."

The group of people came to Surface Operation Class A, where there was a small platform dedicated to providing divers and related diving equipment operations, with various auxiliary equipment.

Undersea oil and gas exploration is inseparable from underwater detection equipment and divers. Ship [-] carries a diving operation team, including three divers and two submersibles that can work at a depth of one thousand meters.The reason why the [-] ship has received so much attention is its comprehensive seabed exploration capabilities. In fact, in some respects, the [-] ship's operating capabilities are almost equivalent to those of deep-sea scientific research ships.

The 21st century is the ocean century, a century in which energy is king. As land resources are dwindling, submarine resources have received a lot of attention.Whoever controls the ocean controls the world. This control includes factors such as access, resources, sea area, etc.

The [-] ship can even conduct certain hydrological research and analysis.

The importance of hydrological research and analysis is equivalent to the study of weather, and it is more important than the study of land topography, geography and geology, just for combat.

In order to collect hydrological conditions in certain sea areas, some countries have spent a lot of money to deploy detectors on the seabed that can continue to work for decades.

Li Mu wanted to meet with the diving team of Ship [-]. The primary purpose was to deal with the harassment from underwater rogue divers at sea.If they were to destroy it underwater, the damage would be immeasurable.

When Li Mu saw the three divers wearing black navy diving suits and their resolute faces, and when Li Mu and others came over and subconsciously saluted, he smiled slightly.Li Mu should have guessed that the diving team on board [-] would not be owned by the company most of the time, especially when operating in such waters.

In fact, the crew members on the [-]th ship were no longer surprised by the coming and going of officers and non-commissioned officers who often wore navy camouflage uniforms or regular uniforms on ships.Many retired divers from the Navy are hired by such companies with high salaries.

After returning the gift, Li Mu shook hands with them and said, "How long have you been working underwater?"

The team leader replied: "Sir! I have the longest military experience. I am an eighth-year soldier and have been diving for four years. They are both sixth-year soldiers and have been doing this job for three years."

Director Zhang explained from the side, "Diving work has very high physical requirements. Most of the divers are young men in their twenties, and not many have three or four years of deep-sea diving experience."

"Very good." Li Mu was very satisfied.

He naturally knows the special nature of diving work. After the age of 30, people are usually not suitable for such work.

"This is how you usually deal with underwater frogmen?" Li Mu asked.

The team leader smiled slightly and said, "Sir, we are from the Frogman Team. If possible, we would like to apply for underwater weapons."

Navy frogmen are no longer ordinary divers, but frogmen who exist for combat, and their professional skills are at a higher level.

"That won't work, haha." Li Mu chuckled and said, "We are engaged in resource exploration. What kind of weapons do we need? Using knives and guns will not work. Is there any other way?"

The team leader thought for a while, looked at each other and then said, "We created our own method of using fishing nets to control intruders, which is more effective."

"Catch people like fish?"

Li Mu suddenly became interested.

"Yes sir, we have done many drills and proved that it is completely feasible without bloodshed." The team leader said.

Director Zhang added, "Yes, Chairman Li, the diving team trained for a month before departure. The method is very mature and very operable. However, to arrest people, you need to make this determination... "

It’s easy to catch someone, but what happens after you catch them?

What comes after is troublesome, requiring many departments and reporting to higher-level leaders.

But the problem is that this is not the first time that maritime gangsters have sent frogmen to carry out sabotage activities on our operating ships and operating platforms. They often do this.It's impossible not to give them some clues. It's impossible for the Coast Guard to mobilize hundreds of ships to protect the [-] ship for every normal commercial exploration activity.

Li Mu is not someone who is afraid of taking responsibility. In fact, neither is Director Zhang. As the leader of the command team, the reason why he delegates the decision-making role to Li Mu is because he does not have the authority to make such a decision. He must obtain permission from the Coast Guard. The leader comes.

Without thinking for a long time, Li Mu pondered and said, "In this case, self-defense weapons must be equipped. If you want to arrest someone, you must be fully prepared."

The leader of the diving team said, "Sir, we have a complete plan and the relevant personnel and equipment are ready."

As he said that, he pointed to the row of people beside him, "This is the A-class work team. They are responsible for the support and guarantee on the water surface." Then he pointed to the submersible on the crane hanger and said, "That's ours. The technicians have modified the submersible operating vehicle to launch a special fishing net with a diameter of ten meters. We operate it in the submersible, and the personnel do not need to leave the submersible."

Li Mu nodded and said decisively, "I approve your plan, let's make preparations."

"Yes!"

The diving team immediately entered the preparation stage.

Li Mu and his team returned to the command cabin again and paid close attention to the situation of all parties through communication equipment.Aerial reconnaissance drones and helicopters are continuously searching the sea area around the [-] ship.The speedboat released by the Coast Guard took advantage of the fact that the sea conditions were still suitable for work, and quickly conducted a careful search of the nearby waters.

The atmosphere in the command cabin was rather solemn. Except for the busy figures of technicians and the sounds of various instruments, there was no other sound.Li Mu and Director Zhang stood side by side and paid attention to the latest situation.

Director Zhang said in a deep voice, "The wave height is rising, and the current sea conditions are beyond the allowed range of the underwater ancestral business. I don't think they will come."

Li Mu asked, “At what level of sea conditions can our submarine operate?”

"The design indicator is a maximum of level five." Director Zhang said, "But generally if the sea state exceeds level four, related operations will stop."

Li Mu concentrated on observing the situation on the sea surface in the distance. At this time, he could already see the formation of tall wave crests. There were white foam peaks everywhere. The peaks of the waves occupied a large area on the wave crests. The wind on the sea surface began to chip away the waves on the wave crests. The breaking waves turned into white foam and appeared in strips along the direction of the wind.

This is a typical manifestation of Level [-] sea conditions. This level of sea conditions is the limit sea condition for most fishing boats to operate. If it is exceeded, fishing boats in the port are prohibited from sailing, and fishing boats currently operating need to anchor.

Theory and practical operation are two different things after all.

No one expected that sea conditions would change so quickly.

Li Mu shook his head slightly to look at Wang Guoqing, and said, "Let all the speedboats return to the mother ship, and each boat should pay attention to wind and waves."

"Yes!" Wang Guoqing immediately conveyed the order through the communication radio.

As soon as the voice fell, the technician in charge of the weather detection drone over there suddenly took off the earphones and reported loudly: "Report! Shirley has visible changes! The real-time satellite images and the pictures taken by the drone will be transferred to the big screen immediately. !”

Li Mu and Director Zhang quickly walked over and stood in front of the big screen.

The first is the picture captured by the weather satellite. The huge spiral clouds are just over the Coral Sea. The movement path of the past half hour is played back, showing a trend of shifting to the northwest.That is, coming towards the operating sea area.

Soon, the footage taken by the weather detection drone approaching was also transmitted. The footage was shaky and blurry, indicating that the distance was relatively far and the drone was under the influence of strong wind.It is vaguely visible that white and thick strip-shaped wave crests appear on the screen.

"The crest of the wave was long and rolling, the waves were dense, and the visibility was significantly reduced. The sea state exceeded level [-], and this was only the outer edge of the storm." Director Zhang said solemnly.

Li Mu asked without any hesitation, "How much time do we have?"

The technician immediately replied: "In about two hours, we will be affected by sea state level [-]."

"This has exceeded the operating limit of the [-] ship. Chairman Li, we have to consider evacuating." Director Zhang said.

The changes in weather are really elusive, and humans simply cannot compete with the power of nature.At this time, the exploration work of the [-]th ship had only completed one-third of the progress.

The command team must immediately evacuate all ships in this area according to the plan, retreat to a relatively safe sea area, wait for Shirley to pass, and then return to continue the unfinished work.

However, the house leaked and it rained all night.

Song Xiaojiang, who had been maintaining contact with the aerial reconnaissance team, suddenly reported: "Sir! The helicopter discovered two unknown speedboats approaching the [-] ship at high speed!!!"

Everyone was shocked. Under such circumstances, the sea gangsters actually dared to come and die!
