Crisis Management Game

"Mr. Gould, you actually know sonar?"

Old Buller and the long-haired sonar operator almost exclaimed in unison.

Gu Ji didn't shy away from it at all.

While pretending to listen carefully to the noise in the sea, he explained: "ASW is involved in shipbuilding, and I was a British Royal Marines officer. I can listen to sonar. Is there any problem?"

"Have you ever served in RM?"

Old Buller was a little surprised, and the look in his eyes was obviously much kinder.

After all, both were born in the navy, so they had a natural affinity.

In addition, Britain and the United States are NATO allies, and the navies of both sides often organize military exercises together, so they can be considered "old friends."

"Yes, I received special sonar training during my service."

Gu Ji started to make nonsense based on the information he heard from the red-faced and fat officer of the Russian army.

Including the strange noise he just mentioned he heard.

It’s also made up.

The purpose is to reflect your own value and stay in the control room.

"But why didn't I hear anything..."

The long-haired sonar operator took the initiative to lean next to the listening earpiece and muttered.

really.

Different identities, completely opposite attitudes.

Last week, this guy was against him almost everywhere on the sonar issue;

But this time, after learning that he was retired from the Navy and had received military sonar training, he naturally lost the confidence to stand firm.

"Listen carefully, there are several clearer sounds hidden in the white noise of the ocean current."

The first step in sonar training is the listening test.

It is necessary to distinguish different sound targets one by one from hundreds of noises, which requires extremely high hearing requirements.

So, even if Gu Ji is talking nonsense.

The long-haired sonar operator would only think that his hearing was too weak and would not dare to refute excessively.

"Mr. Gould, since you can use passive sonar, you can stay here and monitor the surrounding environment for the time being. I will not close the control room door for the time being to prevent any further accidents from happening to the submarine!"

Seeing this, Old Buhler could only let Gu Ji stay.

Evan deliberately shook the gun in his hand, warning Gu Ji not to play tricks.

But Gu Ji didn't have any fluctuations.

Before the two left, he suddenly reminded: "By the way, I observed the submarine for a long time when it was submerged. There was a black woman with long hair in the cabin who behaved a little strangely. Please pay more attention!"

Finish this sentence.

Gu Ji put on a monitoring headset and focused on capturing traces of the "Losarik" nuclear submarine.

His most important goal now is how to survive the first submarine collision.

This accident is different from the Mexican air traffic jam.

In the latter, he could clear the level three times in a row, all ensuring the plane made a successful emergency landing.

This is because the crash of the aircraft with both engines failing was a self-inflicted accident.

As long as he and the captain strictly follow the flight manual and operate carefully, there is a high probability that the plane will land smoothly.

But a submarine strike is different.

Even if Gu Ji could ensure that this round of operations would be a perfect replica of last week's operation, he still could not control the impact angle and force of the Russian submarine.

in other words.

It has one more variable than a plane crash.

This kind of variable was something Gu Ji couldn't predict at all.

"What did you say? The submarine's signal was interfered with?"

"Then aren't we in great danger now? No, I won't watch the sunken ship. I demand a return trip immediately!!"

"Damn it! Didn't your company guarantee that this voyage will be absolutely safe and nothing will happen?"

"Please be patient and patient. We will find out the cause and it will be solved soon. So I hope everyone can take the initiative to cooperate..."

at the same time.

Controlling the outdoor cabin, Old Buller's plan began.

Sure enough, it caused dissatisfaction and panic among the wealthy tourists.

Because the watertight door was not closed, many tourists saw Gu Jizheng hiding in the control room.

so.

His impact factor coefficient is also rising, and soon broke through the "3.33" mark and turned yellow.

This is normal.

After all, when he entered the control room, the captain and safety officer determined that someone had interfered with the submarine's signal. Even fools knew that he had something to do with it.

"Dang...dang..."

Just when Gu Ji was sure that the real culprit behind the scenes had most likely been targeting him, a strange noise suddenly sounded in his earphones, which immediately attracted his attention.

This time I wasn’t making it up, I actually heard it.

He quickly used his special skills.

Because the characteristics and skills of the orange mark are random.

The last project was about being able to construct a three-dimensional model in front of your eyes based on sounds, but this time it was about improving your hearing and discernment abilities.

Although it is not as useful as the former, it can at least help Gu Ji judge the movements of the "Losarik" earlier.

"Directly ahead of 12 o'clock, there is a metal object approaching us!"

"Real or false..."

The long-haired sonar operator was full of doubts, but he still came to the periscope and observed for a long time, "Mr. Gould, there seems to be nothing within the scope of the searchlight!"

"It's too far away."

Gu Ji frowned.

Unfortunately, passive sonar could not accurately judge distance, and he had no idea when the Russian submarine would appear.

By the time it can actually be observed with the naked eye, it is already too late.

So, why not think of ways to avoid collisions as much as possible?

Thinking of this, Gu Ji suddenly said to the Asian engineer: "Quick, use the searchlight controller to send a distress signal!"

"ah?"

The Asian engineer looked confused and hesitated: "We are not sure what the goal is. What if..."

"No matter what the opponent is, even if it is a military submarine, if we send a distress signal early, at least the other party can judge that we are not a threat!"

Observing the other person's expression and reaction, Gu Ji finally understood.

Perhaps Evan, Old Buller and other US military intelligence personnel just wanted to use this deep-sea voyage to confirm whether "Losarik" was really operating in the deep sea of ​​Norway, rather than directly provoking them.

Otherwise, these submarine staff would not have been so panicked when they were hit by a Russian submarine last week.

"This...I need to ask the captain for instructions!"

The Asian engineer still couldn't believe Gu Ji, so he hurried to the door and shouted twice.

Old Buller temporarily gave up the inspection and walked in anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there some emergency?"

"Captain, Mr. Gould found a movable metal object, suspected to be a military submarine..."

Take advantage of the time when the Asian engineer is giving a report.

Gu Ji glanced at the cabin.

At this time, the tourists were opening their backpacks one after another and letting Evan check them one by one.

There was only the black woman with long hair, her hands covering her backpack, as if she looked nervous.

Is it really this woman?

And while Gu Ji was observing these tourists, his impact factor value also began to rise again.

Old Buller listened for a long time and indeed noticed abnormal noise from the imaging sound spectrum.

Maybe I thought of GUGI.

"Just do what Mr. Gould wants."

"Yes! Captain!"

The Asian engineer immediately came to the console and started transmitting signals according to the SOS Morse code frequency.

"Open the backpack!"

"No! Don't!"

"I asked you to open your backpack and cooperate with the investigation. The situation encountered by the submarine is very serious now. This is the last warning..."

At this time, a scolding suddenly came from the cabin.

Several people looked back.

It was surprising that Evan had an argument with the tourists, and the person who refused to provide backpack inspection was the black long-haired woman that Gu Ji suspected!

"Oops!"

Old Buller was afraid that there would be a conflict between the two sides, so he hurried over.

Gu Ji secretly looked at the long-haired black woman with his peripheral vision while monitoring the location of the strange metal signal.

"The frequency of the sound is getting higher, and it's getting closer to us!"

"What!?"

The Asian engineer looked startled and began to panic, "Mr. Gould, what if the other party is really a military submarine and mistakes us for the enemy?"

"Yes! What if a torpedo hits..."

"We have no choice now, continue to send distress signals!"

Long-haired sonar operators still fear military submarines sinking them.

But only Gu Ji had experienced it personally.

Even after the Russian submarine hit them last week, after seeing his distress signal, a tender was still dispatched to carry out the rescue.

so.

This round, if a distress signal is sent in advance, the collision accident can be avoided with a high probability.

at the same time.

The commotion in the cabin escalated again.

The long-haired black woman refused Evan's orders multiple times.

There was no other way, so Old Buller had no choice but to mediate and comfort him in a nice voice: "Ma'am, we don't mean any harm. We hope you can cooperate with our work and open the backpack..."

"No!"

The long-haired black woman refused without thinking, and held the backpack in her hand tighter. "I have already passed the security check before boarding the ship. You are invading my privacy!"

"But ma'am..."

"Captain, there is no need to waste any more time with her, open your backpack immediately!"

"Oh my God! It's a gun!"

Evan interrupted Old Buller and drew the pistol directly from his waist.

The tourists suddenly screamed in fright.

And Old Buller also acquiesced to this matter.

After all, at this juncture, if he would rather confront the security officer than open his backpack, he must be hiding some ulterior secret.

"You! I will definitely find a lawyer to sue you!"

"Give me!"

Before the long-haired black woman could react, Evan roughly snatched the backpack away and threw it to Old Buller.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ji became suspicious of this woman.

According to common sense.

Even if there was indeed a signal jamming device in the backpack, the long-haired black woman should have at least resisted the moment Evan took action, instead of obediently letting the other party snatch the backpack away.

Either that or she had nothing to do with the submarine accident;

Or, she has a back-up, is not afraid of the jamming equipment being destroyed, and can even completely control the submarine!

Could it be that there is...a remote-controlled bomb in the backpack?

"Captain, be careful!"

Evan seemed to have thought of the same thing as Gu Ji, and he immediately tightened his grip on the gun and warned him at the same time.

Old Buller swallowed and slowly opened the zipper of his backpack.

The tourists on the side also gathered around curiously.

Everyone wants to see what is inside.

And at the moment when Old Buller reached into his backpack.

The long-haired sonar operator suddenly shouted: "Damn it! I saw something moving above us!!"

"What!?"

The tourists in the cabin naturally heard this sentence.

So they all stuck to the observation window and looked above their heads.

The next second.

Under the searchlights that were constantly flashing distress signals, a giant mountain-like shadow was pressing towards them with a devastating force!

"Ah! What is this!!"

"Damn it! It's coming down! It's coming down! Run!"

The cabin was instantly in chaos.

The tourists were screaming hysterically like crazy, but the submarine was such a big place and there was no way they could escape.

In chaos.

I don’t know who contradicted Old Buller.

The things he was about to take out of his backpack suddenly fell to the ground.

"Wow!"

The crisp sound of ceramic shattering sounded.

Gu Ji took a closer look.

Gray-white scum all over the floor, from the broken black ceramic jar fragments, was scattered everywhere, and was stepped on by the panicked tourists.

"this……"

"It's actually ashes?"

Old Buller and Evan exclaimed in unison.

It was even unclear whether to look first at the huge black shadow that suddenly appeared above the submarine or at the broken urn on the ground.

Even Gu Ji was startled.

Who would have thought.

Some tourists actually take ashes into a deep-sea submarine.

No wonder the long-haired black woman refused to hand over her backpack. Not only because of privacy, but if other tourists knew that she was on a submarine with a dead man, everyone would probably mind.

"Billy! My boy..."

The moment she saw the urn being shattered, the long-haired black woman almost collapsed. She rushed forward and carried the panicked crowd, trying to gather the scattered ashes together again.

But it was just in vain.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jicai gradually understood.

The long-haired black woman must have lost her child for some reason and has been in grief, so she behaves indifferently to everything.

As for carrying the ashes with you, I am afraid it is also to fulfill the child's wishes during his lifetime.

Just like Thompson brought his own children with him on the trip.

"So, who is the real culprit in the accident?"

Gu Ji narrowed his eyelids.

You know, almost all the backpacks and belongings of all tourists in the cabin have been checked, but nothing was found.

So what method did the real culprit behind the scenes use to interfere with the submarine signal?

"Damn it! Captain, this is a military submarine!"

"Hey! This is the control room, you can't enter!"

"Fake! It's getting closer and closer to us. If we don't run now, why don't we wait for it to crush us to death!"

Control room door.

The long-haired sonar operator was about to report to Old Buller.

As a result, many tourists crowded in front of the control room. Among them, Rustam, a wealthy oil businessman, wanted to break in directly. Fortunately, he was stopped by an Asian engineer.

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control.

Old Buhler didn't bother to apologize to the black long-haired woman, just left it to Evan to deal with, and hurriedly squeezed over, "Everyone, please calm down! Return to the cabin, I promise you that I will do my best to ensure the safety of the submarine!!"

"Old guy, why should we believe you!"

"Why can he go in, but we can't!"
