Battle of the Third Reich

Watching Miller leave, Flori turned back to continue holding his baby briefcase in a daze, saying he didn't know what he had to do now. ●⌒,. Just as Dr. Flory’s depressive symptoms were about to recur, a dark-haired young man hurried into this compartment.

Norman Hitley is only twenty-nine years old today, is a magnificent scientific star, this young chemist is good at chemical analysis, but in the laboratory of Flory did fungus cultivation However, genius can show his role wherever he puts it. In the end, he really found out a new cultivation plan and doubled the production of penicillin.

From a commercial point of view, his role and value are indeed stronger than that of Qian En, because Qian En only developed a purification method. As long as the procedures are strictly followed, it can be done by simply changing a trained worker. But Hitley's work requires long-term experience and knowledge accumulation, but also needs a keen instinct and sufficient talent. Cultivating and breeding high-yield strains is not just a single person.

Miller and Flori have the same values ​​and vision. In the case of limited places, they decisively abandoned Qiann and chose to take away Hitley, because compared with Qianen who has completed the research mission, it is rich in cultivating fungi. Experienced Hitley is a treasure trove that has not yet been fully developed. As long as he takes it, he is not afraid that there will be no source of raw materials for future production.

Heatley had long black hair, and his long, thin face was slightly whiskered. He looked older than his actual age. The young biochemist was only 29 years old. His achievements were once obliterated in history, and he didn't even leave a few photos.

The reason is to maintain the image of Fleming, the great discoverer of penicillin. In his original history, the discoverer saw the paper on the lancet and hurriedly ran to pick the peach, completely ignoring himself and had already given up. Research in this area even brazenly put Penicillin's research and development achievements in his head.

Immediately during the Nobel Prize after the war, because the maximum number of places for the same award can only be three, Fleming knocked out the name of Hitley, who made actual contributions, and became the primary hero of the discovery of Penicillin. For commercial considerations. At the same time, in order to maintain the reputation of the explosives award, Hitley's merits were deliberately covered up and became a victim of the black box in the scientific community.

In the original history, Flory parted ways with Qian En half a year later because of differences in development direction. He resolutely took Hitley and a bunch of materials to board the passenger ship to the United States. In this time and space, the young man was still taken by Flori on the way to the United States, but this time it was replaced by a submarine.

"Doctor, I saw the nameplate of this submarine just now." Hitley's face was uneasy at this moment.

"This submarine is Sitis."

"What the Sithis?" Flori looked blankly at his pale assistant.

"What the Sithis? This submarine is clearly the Thunderbolt." Miller said with a smile and handed a cigar to Lieutenant Matthew.

"But this is Sidis, and I saw her original nameplate in the cabin." The lieutenant argued.

"That was the fault of the shipyard workers. Some workers just like to be lazy." Miller pulled out the lighter and lit Captain Bernard first.

"Now this ship is the Royal Navy's Thunderbolt. Sitis has been crossed out in the Royal Navy's ship roster. You don't need to know more, lieutenant, I spent money to hire you not to listen to your complaints here, Now that you have taken our money, you should do your job well. If you perform well, you can get an extra reward at the destination." Miller ordered himself a cigar, and then took The lighter was stuffed into Matthew's hands.

"If I were you. Lieutenant, I would cherish this rare job. Know that your comrades are still running for their livelihood after retirement, and you have the opportunity to earn a dream they dream of. Unexpected commissions, what else are you dissatisfied with? So, Lieutenant, you don’t care what the name of the ship used to be. Now she is called Perak, and it will soon become the property of the US government.” Miller Long-spoken education starts a timid lieutenant.

"Captain, how much time can we get into the Atlantic Ocean." Miller asked, turning his head to look at Bernard.

"From the current speed. If there are no obstacles, we can enter the open sea before five o'clock, but you know, the premise is that there are no obstacles. Now what we need is luck, and pray that God bless us we can do everything smoothly."

"Luck? Captain, we have never lacked luck. I'm glad you can answer my question, and you lieutenant. I hope you can fulfill your duties and remember what I said before. You British people are too superstitious. Then first In this way, there was a loss of companionship, and a group of scientists needed me to appease." Miller leaned slightly against several British officers and men in the control tower, and then drilled into the shaft of the control tower.

"The handsome guy, the smell of copper is disgusting." Lieutenant Matthew pouted, and then lit the cigar with Miller's silver lighter and tucked the lighter into his pocket.

"Matthew, the best thing you should do now is to control your stinky mouth. I said I don’t want to hear the name Sitis anymore. You still complain to the Yankee. You thought he didn’t know this submarine. "History?" Bernard gave his first mate a cold look, and decided to never cooperate with this idiot again.

"Citis, Citis, doctor, haven't you read the newspaper?" Hitley whispered to Dr. Flori.

"Isn't this submarine called Thunderbolt? I saw the nameplate on the control tower before boarding."

"They must have changed the name of the ship. This is the usual practice of the Royal Navy. Reuse the salvaged ship under a new name. It seems that this ship will become a new ship."

"Isn't this a self-deception?" Flori said that he had never been exposed to this knowledge and felt a little weird.

"No, it's just a traditional ritual that will keep the new crew from feeling sullen."

"Wait a minute, you mean, this submarine has sunk before?" Flori only reacted at this time.

"Sithis, you don't even know the famous incident? Doctor. It is said that a lot of people died in this submarine last time in the accident." Hitley couldn't help saying loudly.

"Exactly, ninety-nine people died that time." Miller walked into the compartment and interjected with a smile.

The accident of the Royal Navy Sittis submarine involved a dark history that was masked for a long time after the war. But this matter was very famous in those days. Because this accident happened to be too bizarre, and its severity is enough to make a Hollywood-style disaster movie.

At that time, this brand-new T-class submarine had just been launched and was undergoing its first diving trial. Therefore, not only the 53 crew members were attached to the submarine, but also the Navy Supervisor, Instructor and a large number of them. Shipyard technicians. At that time, no one would have thought that this ordinary diving trial would actually become the most tragic submarine accident in the history of the British Royal Navy.

After the captain issued the dive command, the submarine did not obey the crew’s operation and dived into the sea. At that time, the technical staff judged that the weight of the front ballast was insufficient, so the captain ordered a certain amount of seawater to increase the load of the submarine bow. .

This was a common emergency treatment method in the British Royal Navy submarine force at that time. The operation was actually very simple. First open the front cover of the torpedo tube and put in seawater, then close the front cover and open the back cover, so that it can make the full Seawater filled with the volume of a torpedo tube enters the torpedo compartment, thereby increasing the weight of the submarine bow, so that the sinking of the submarine bow can speed up the submarine's diving speed. Generally on German submarines. The Germans will let all those who are not on duty to go to the bow torpedo cabin. In fact, it is the same as the British army’s approach. However, the Germans are more flexible in their handling and can adjust their attitude and balance at any time. Of course, the crew’s Training requirements have also increased accordingly.

At that time, the captain Woods followed the previous practice and issued an order to open the torpedo tube. The commander of the bow torpedo compartment opened the test plug of the torpedo tube and found that no water was flowing out, indicating that the torpedo tube was dry, but when they pulled the open wrench, the torpedo tube back cover was suddenly pushed by the external water pressure opened. The icy water spewed out of the torpedo tube, and soon filled the bow torpedo compartment. The submarine suddenly lost its balance and the bow was inserted diagonally into the sea.

At this moment, the rear propeller was still propelling at full speed, and the submarine began to charge towards the bottom of the sea. The heavy water pressure accelerated the submarine's water intake, and soon the two front cabins were flooded in succession. Finally, due to timely disposal, the sailors closed the waterproof door of the accommodation cabin to avoid the catastrophe.

But this was just the beginning of this disaster, the submarine turned off its power and then sank to the bottom of the sea. Due to the excessive water inflow, the emptying of the pressurized water tank by the compressed air reserve cannot make the submarine float again. Moreover, the lid of the front torpedo tube is still open, and the water entering the cabin cannot be emptied using a water pump. To make matters worse, the submarine that originally carried fifty-three people is now carrying a full hundred and three people. The already turbid air in the cabin becomes more muggy as people breathe, and the concentration of carbon dioxide rises sharply. Older technicians have shown signs of hypoxia.

The crew and technicians tried every means to save themselves, but their efforts not only did not pay off, but made the situation worse and worse. They emptied the ballast tank, fresh water tank and fuel tank, and wanted to increase the buoyancy of the submarine, but they forgot that the front of the submarine was already filled with water, and the submarine had lost its center of gravity. Although the buoyancy increased, the submarine did show up. However, the attitude of the submarine is vertical and downward, which increases the difficulty of the rescue party.

At that time, the submarine only had a small tail out of the water, and there was no exit from that location. Moreover, the submarine hull is almost vertical, and the personnel in the front cabin cannot be transferred to the rear cabin at all. In the end, the captain decided to take the risk of self-rescue under desperation. He and three sailors took the scuba diver and drilled into the escape cabin of the submarine. In fact, it was a two-way open escape pipe and opened the inside The personnel at one end drilled in and opened the cover after filling with water. The personnel can swim out of the boat by themselves, and then close the hatch to allow the next batch of personnel to repeat the work.

At this moment the hatch was six meters underwater. The captain and his three men successfully surfaced, but they waited for a long time, but no one else was behind them. It was later discovered that the cover of the escape hatch was stuck due to changes in water pressure and air pressure, causing the second batch of escaped personnel to drown in the trap alive.

The rest of the matter involved the dark history of the Royal Navy. At this time, the rescue ship had already leaned on the stern of the submarine, and she was also tied with a towing cable. The Royal Navy’s disposal plan was to drag her to shallow water to level it. The hull, and then open the hatch to enter the submarine to save people.

At this time, some people suggested that the oxygen in the submarine is not enough, and the personnel inside may not be able to persist for so long. Generally like this, there is a very simple treatment plan, that is, a cut is made in the boat, and oxygen and necessary supplies are input into the boat.

So the problem arises. The high-ranking navy refused to adopt this plan. They still insisted on using the original method to drag the submarine back to the port for processing. Because in the eyes of the high-level navy at that time, the loss of these people was affordable compared to a precious submarine.

If the pressure shell of the submarine is cut open, it will inevitably cause damage to the structure of the submarine. Even if it is repaired in the future, it will seriously affect the safety of the submarine. For the sake of some sailors and officers, the risk of scrapping a brand new submarine was taken. At the time, at the time of the admiralty at the time, the choice of this kind of problem was very simple.

As a result, the personnel on this submarine were abandoned, and the Royal Navy's rescue made several consecutive errors. When the submarine was finally towed into the harbor, it had been fifty hours since the accident. When the submarine hatch was opened, all the people in the submarine had been sacrificed at this moment, the cause of death was drowning and carbon dioxide poisoning.

Of the 103 people in the whole boat, only four of them escaped. Ninety-nine lives became a sacrifice dedicated to the goddess of the sea, Sidis, is the name of the goddess.

Afterwards, the Royal Navy investigation found that the cause of the accident was on the torpedo tube test cock. Due to the tight schedule, the final paint work was completed very hurriedly. There was no special inspection afterwards, and no one found that the test cock's through hole was already It was filled with paint, so that when the officer of the torpedo compartment opened the detection hole, even a drop of seawater did not flow out from the inside. At this moment, the crew did not know that the cover of the torpedo tube was still open, so when it was opened When the handle is pulled down, disaster also comes.

"Do you know? Mr. Hitley, this time the number of people on the submarine added up to be exactly ninety-nine people." Miller's mysterious expression scared the young chemist.

"Really?" Hitley's complexion turned white and his eyes widened.

"Just kidding, we have only seventy-three people combined this time. The supply is already very tight. We have to cross the Atlantic. If we don't encounter obstacles, it will take at least two weeks to sail at full speed. After all, this is an ocean-going submarine. Not a luxury passenger ship." Miller changed the subject ingeniously.

"The obstruction you said refers to..."

At this moment, a harsh alarm sounded in the boat.

"Dive down, emergency dive, everyone goes back to their posts, others stay in their positions and don't move!" The captain sailed from the corridor and ran to the power cabin.

"Mr. Peter! What happened?" Miller leaned out and shouted at the sailor.

"Emergency dive. A German reconnaissance plane appeared just above. We have been found. The captain ordered to dive immediately. Mr. Miller." The captain of the sailor nodded at Miller, and finally continued to shout towards the power cabin. Run away.
