Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 265 Ocean Currents

A huge fleet traveled through the turbulent ocean, led by the battleship "Missouri", which was an old ship with outstanding military exploits. It had participated in the magnificent Pacific War, witnessed the decline of brutal regimes, and witnessed the oil war.

the forefront.

Strong winds whipped up heavy rain and beat against her hull, which was lined with gun barrels like hedgehogs. The bow of the ship kept diving into the waves like a giant wall in front of it, and then broke out of the water. The officers on the bridge were all worried because of the long time.

The violent turbulence turned his face as white as gray, and the captain with a gray beard still stood upright in front of the porthole watching the changes in the clouds.

This fleet is the Atlantic Fleet among the four equatorial defense fleets established by EDA before the start of the Doomsday War. The fleet is now only 1/3 of what it was when it set sail, and anti-aircraft guns were urgently added to the fleet from the museum.

The USS Missouri was not originally a flagship.

The mission of the fleet is to intercept spore groups near the equator of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a high probability that the continuous impact of ice blocks will form an "atmospheric hole" and enter the ocean surface.

However, after the Doomsday War began, hundreds of ships of various types did not wait for a single spore under the meteor shower that reddened the sea and sky. When the crew used radar and telescopes to meticulously search for the meteor shower, after it was over, the entire sky was covered with spores.

When heavy clouds appeared over the fleet, what they were waiting for was a strong electromagnetic pulse storm.

Although every soldier was prepared to sacrifice themselves to protect their homeland, not a single crew member was killed in this electromagnetic pulse storm that lasted less than a second. However, their warship turned into a pile of

Literally scrap metal floating on the sea.

The electronic equipment of all the warships was burned, and the crew could only stare and clenched their fists as they watched the fleet's originally neat formation gradually become messy in the wind and waves. After emergency repairs and inspections, the fleet engineer reported to the fleet commander

Loss situation.

Advanced warships that use a large number of electronic equipment and gas turbines cannot restore power on the ocean, and this number accounts for 2/3 of the total fleet. The remaining old ships that use steam turbines as power can restore part of their power.

In this way, the old ships that had been urgently repaired took all the crew and necessary survival supplies and set sail again at a slow speed. However, hundreds of advanced warships that were the result of human industrial technology could only drift with the tide in the vast sea.

It was at that time that the "Missouri" became the fleet's new flagship.

In the process of slowly repairing and transferring supplies, the only thing the crew members were thankful for was that the sky above the equator was always shrouded in dark clouds. They did not have to be exposed to strong sunlight, nor did they have to stay in a ship without air conditioning and be fumigated by scorching high temperatures. Otherwise,

, the biggest casualty in this failed interception mission will come from heatstroke.

Since it was completely unable to contact the base, the fleet finally decided to return to the British Isles, where the fleet was stationed.

"Report Captain! Our current position should be at 30 degrees west longitude, 42 degrees north latitude, in a certain sea area north of the Azores Islands." The navigation officer held several pieces of paper full of characters in his hand and reported carefully.

The captain just nodded and did not blame the navigation officer. Because he knew that after losing satellite and radio signals, he could not see the starry sky for a long time. It was impossible to know the precise location of the fleet by relying only on compass and inertial integration navigation.

"This damn storm has been going on for almost half a month. I don't know if it is chasing us or the entire Atlantic Ocean. I really don't know when it will end!" the first mate complained in a hoarse voice.

I don’t know if the first mate’s curse had an effect, but the fleet actually sailed out of the storm area in the early morning. The starry sky penetrated by the faint blue star ring appeared above the fleet’s head again, and the navigation officer immediately ran away with the sextant.

Exited the bridge.

When he returned to the bridge, he was shivering all over. But he still tried his best to report to the captain in a standard military posture:

"Report Captain! We are currently located at 46 degrees 15 minutes north latitude and 27 degrees 36 minutes west longitude, which is closer to the British Isles than expected!"

"Why is it so fast? According to our sailing speed, we shouldn't be able to reach this position! Are your positioning correct?" asked the first mate.

"I and the other two navigation officers have tested it two or two times, and there is no mistake!" The navigation officer's teeth kept colliding with each other due to trembling, making a "clicking" sound.

The captain looked at the chart in front of him and said:

"If the positioning is correct, it can only be that the ocean currents are speeding up."

He turned around, looked the navigation officer up and down, and asked:

"Looking at you, is it cold outside?"

The navigation officer nodded:

"Yes Captain, I know this doesn't make sense, but the temperature outside is like being in the Arctic."

The captain and first mate looked at each other, pushed open the heavy armored bridge door and walked outside the bridge. A biting cold wind cut like a knife on their exposed palms and faces, and the cold wind followed their collars and cuffs.

After getting into the clothes, the whole person felt like being thrown into a cold storage. In the direction of the ship's bow, a thick fog across the sea was approaching them.

"Oh my God! What's going on with this weather!"

As soon as the first mate finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from the ship's hull. The sound was not loud, and the ship's hull did not vibrate significantly. It felt like it had hit a small fishing boat.

Just as everyone was looking at the sea around the ship, continuous collisions followed, and the ship also vibrated significantly. The soldiers on the deck who were searching the sea with flashlights shouted:

"Ice! There is ice in the water!"

The captain picked up the flashlight and shined it on the ocean. The beam of light swept across the sparkling sea. If there were white ice floes, it would be easy to find them on the ink-like sea, but they saw nothing. They turned their gaze

Looking closer, in the surging waves pushed away by the ship's hull, one could vaguely see ice blocks under the water.

The captain's deeply furrowed brows stretched across his face.

"The ocean current at our location should be the North Atlantic warm current flowing to the northeast. Judging from the speed and our current location. The direction of the ocean current should be correct, but how can this warm current from the equator freeze?

"

The first mate rubbed his hands and said:

"While we were repairing damaged ships near the equator, the temperature was unusually cool."

Suddenly, a muffled sound like a giant hammer cutting stone came from the bottom of the ship, and the ship's hull shook slightly.

"Port side! We hit dark ice!" the sailor on the deck shouted.

Even though the captain and first officer were on the high bridge, they could easily see the churning ice in the water. The huge ice block the size of a battleship turret slowly passed by the starboard side. What's more, it was even more shocking.

What surprised them was that the ice cube was almost floating close to the water. If it was on a swollen sea, it would be difficult to detect its existence with the naked eye at night.

The captain was startled, then roared and issued an order:

"Slow down immediately! Inform the ships behind you to slow down and turn around immediately, and leave this sea area."

The first mate immediately turned around and struggled to pass through the armored door of the bridge and rushed to the clock. Just as he pulled the lever from forward two to reverse three, everyone on the entire bridge suddenly fell forward.

And go.

The harsh sound of metal friction resounded throughout the sea, and the entire giant ship decelerated violently amid vibrations and shaking. When the ship settled down again, the captain and officers who got up from the floor in embarrassment discovered that the entire ship was shaking.

The bridge tilted upward! And the ocean could no longer be seen around the bow of the ship outside the portholes.

Before they could recover from their panic, the giant ship with a fully loaded displacement of 55,000 tons began to rock back and forth in a wide range like a seesaw. The crew were horrified to find that the giant ship had washed up on a beach.

In an ordinary glacier, 2/3 of the ship's hull rushed onto the ice, and the entire warship was unable to move.

The old captain, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, shouted with a trembling voice:

"Hurry up and notify the ships behind you to get out of the way! Many of their warships are not armored and cannot withstand such a collision!"

But at this time, the thick fog had enveloped most of the fleet. The fleet whose radios were damaged in the electromagnetic storm were very close to each other, and this heavy fog also interrupted their lighting and semaphore communications.

Soon, muffled sounds like a giant falling to the ground were heard one after another in the mist. Then, the weird roar of metal twisting, tearing, the sound of the watertight cabin exploding, and the scream of friction on the ship's hull were intertwined.

The sea outside the fog was still calm, and traces of oil slowly flowed like blood on the sea outside the fog.
