Since its inception, submarines have been one of the most feared weapons in naval warfare.

Not because of how powerful its firepower is, but because its trajectory has always been hidden under the sea. It comes and goes without a trace, making it impossible to guard against.

If we want to ensure sea power, developing search technology for submarines is an indispensable key.

Whether it is the United States, the furry bears in the north, or China, they have invested a lot of money and manpower in the research of this technology.

However, with the current technological level of the earth, it is still a bit unsatisfactory, and it is not yet possible to completely achieve this goal.

Simply put, the movements of submarines can only be explored through underwater sonar, and there are certain restrictions. For example, when a submarine is in a standby state with its engine turned off, even if the sonar has good performance, it will be difficult to detect its presence.

And want to search for traces of submarines through radar signals from above the water surface...

Unless the submarine floats to a depth of only a dozen meters above the water and extends its snorkel to ventilate, the radar will not be of any use at all.

The reason why Nick Fury is satisfied is here - after adding the device that Coulson and his team brought back from Xandar to the radar of the Space Carrier, its performance has undergone earth-shaking changes. In one breath, it has been improved to the point where "even at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, submarines located hundreds of meters below the sea surface can be directly monitored."

If the original radar is compared to a pair of eyes, then the wide sea surface is a fog blocking the front of the field of vision. But now, with the addition of new devices brought back by aliens, these eyes have the ability to see through... ...Although it may not be used now, the strategic significance brought by this improvement is of great significance, and it is of the kind that anyone with a little brain can see its importance.

"Sir, there is news from the Navy."

"Really, what did they say?"

"There is no problem with our detection results. The target is the second-generation Thresher Shark. According to the response from the Navy, they are currently conducting deep-diving training at a depth of about 500 meters."

"Very good." The result was confirmed, and Nick Fury felt even happier. A faint smile appeared on his usually stern black face unconsciously.

Of course, the inspection of new equipment must continue. It does not mean that it will end immediately after finding traces of a submarine.

Wanting to verify whether the function of this instrument would be compromised in extreme environments, Nick Fury's remaining single eye circled twice and issued a new command: "Change course and go to the North Pole. lock up."

Compared to the United States, the furry bears pay more attention to control of the waters near the Arctic.

Coming from the military, he has a deep understanding of the thoughts of furry bears. Nick Fury is very sure that there must be furry bear submarines operating in the waters near the North Pole.

"Going to the Arctic Circle? Looking for a submarine from the Bear Country?"

"Yeah." Nick Fury nodded and looked at Maria Hill with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to do anything. I just want to go to the North Pole to verify that the new device can operate in a low-temperature environment. The performance is very low. There happens to be a submarine from the Bear Country, so I take advantage of it and let them make a temporary cameo to search for the target.”

"Do I need to report to the council?"

Although she works in S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill's background and background are different from Nick Fury's.

She came to S.H.I.E.L.D. as the deputy director after being appointed by the WPC Council. To put it bluntly, she is an airborne leader who came from the outside. Unlike Nick Fury, who originally served as an agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., and then step by step through the internal promotion route, she was promoted to the level of director.

Cannibalism is a matter of loyalty to others. As a manager appointed by the Five Permanent Council, Maria Hill cares very much about the interests of the Council. If SHIELD's actions will harm the interests of the Council or one of the countries, she will definitely stand up and raise the issue with due diligence. be opposed to.

Including the current suggestions to avoid misunderstandings, it is also one of her responsibilities.

"No, the other party won't notice our actions anyway." Nick Fury waved his hand: "You can leave a record, but I think that thing will be useless, and no one will ask about it."

"...Okay." After thinking about it, she felt that it was not a big problem. Maria Hill nodded and did not insist on her opinion anymore.

The flying speed of the space carrier is not as fast as that of an airplane, but it is more than twice as fast as sailing on the water.

About two hours later, the huge space carrier had crossed the Bering Strait and arrived in the Arctic waters close to the country of the Bear.

While turning on the radar to search for traces of submarines in the sea below, he moved along the coastline. During the next more than three hours of cruising, the newly installed device on the aerospace carrier found traces of five more submarines. .

Although three of them were docked on the shore and could not be counted in the score, this result already made Nick Fury quite satisfied.

You must know that the submarines currently equipped by the US military can only dive to a maximum depth of 610 meters. The submarines manufactured by the Bears are not only more durable and more durable, but also have a maximum diving depth of more than double that of the US military's submarines, reaching 1250 meters.

The two furry bear submarines discovered by the aerospace aircraft carrier in the Arctic waters dived to depths of 650 meters and 700 meters respectively.

what does that mean? Although only two targets were found in total, because the depth detected was deeper... it was still very meaningful from the perspective of testing the effectiveness of the device.

"Increase the navigation altitude to 5,000 meters and turn inland."

"Huh? Director, this isn't appropriate."

"It's just a way to borrow a way. My destination is the Mediterranean." Turning to look at Maria Hill, Nick Fury shrugged: "It's a bit far to return from the current position. Compared to Next, it’s a little closer to cross the continent and land on the Mediterranean side. Well, there’s actually a little situation there, so I plan to stop by and take a look.”

“…….”

"Don't worry, I know the severity." Looking at Maria Hill who looked suspicious, Nick Fury shrugged: "It's just a radar, not a defensive shield. The new building downstairs of the headquarters The burrito shop I opened was quite delicious, but I haven’t had enough of it yet. To stir up the fury bear’s nerves and then be shot down by them with missiles? You know me, I’m not that ignorant.”

"...Okay." Seeing what Nick Fury said, Maria Hill could only smile bitterly and shake her head: "I will record this in the memo, do you mind?"

"That's your job." Nick Fury shrugged and smiled indifferently.
