Monster Factory: One Thousand Three Hundred 50 Two: Identity Transfer between Prey and Hunter
The identities of the hunter and the prey seem to have changed.
Burke-class Destroyer abruptly drew a U-shaped circle on the sea surface, and the other frigate was faster, and it was far away from Destroyer in less than a few minutes.
In order to prevent their tracks from being detected by radio detection radars, they even implement the highest level of radio silence programming.
Fleet commander Lassiter didn't care about the violent bumping of the hull when he escaped. He quickly tore off a blank sheet of paper from the device maintenance register, and then wrote something on it with a pencil.
His mood was as violently shaking as the command room was bumping on the sea at this time.
He can easily figure out the speed and the position above the sea.
The target is 64 nautical miles directly behind.
Now they are evacuating at the maximum speed of 32 knots, and the target ship is chasing at 130 knots.
There is no need to formulate an equation to calculate how long the target ship can catch up with them between the pursuit and escape.
Just a simple calculation, if the target ship moves straight forward, it will reach their current location then it will be alright within 30 minutes.
What can 30 do in minutes?
30 minutes, enough for Destroyer and the frigate to run in two directions...
Run sixteen nautical miles.
Rassett quickly recalled in mind, the data on the influence of the earth's curvature on the horizon of sea level.
Affected by the curvature of the earth, if the draft is close to eight meters in good weather, the antenna height on the top of the console, and the Burke-class missile Destroyer with a 20 meter drop from sea level, it can be observed at a distance of twelve nautical miles. See the outline of the control tower above the deck.
If the distance is 20 nautical miles, the observer standing at a high place can use the telescope to find the top radar antenna of Burke-class Destroyer.
According to the scale on the satellite images, the top building height of the target ship is about 30 meters.
Suppose an observer stands on the top of the target ship and observes visually with a marine telescope...
Even elementary school students know the shortest straight line distance between the two. Fleet commander Rasit could only order two military vessels to run straight in different directions, striving to run the longest distance in the shortest time.
After some calculations, Lassiter found that no matter which direction he ran.
The target ship can be chased within half an hour, and can easily lock two military vessel ships through visual observation.
The staff officer on the side saw the numbers written by Rasit on the paper and understood the seriousness of the matter without thinking about it. "Sir... Officer."
"They may not be able to find us... right?" Rassett said with a pale expression of self-comfort: "From the previous firefight situation, although the target ship is equipped with electromagnetic waves and strong power Electromagnetic interference device."
"But it does not have any long-range firepower configuration. Strictly speaking...it is still a civilian ship."
"We are now in a state of radio silence. The target ship is sixty nautical miles away and it is impossible to pinpoint our position accurately."
"They have... a high probability of running in the wrong direction."
Lassiter’s comfort is not unreasonable. Now the target ship is still sixty nautical miles away. At this distance, whether it is a shipborne radar or an optical observation device with a resolution large enough to view the lunar crater, it will be limited to a very limited range under the influence of the curvature of the earth.
Since the target ship cannot obtain accurate coordinates now, it is very likely that the direction will deviate in the pursuit.
As long as the opponent’s course deviates by ten degrees, the observer will not be able to spot any targets from the sea.
Thinking of this, Lassiter couldn't help but began to pray, praying that the other party would deviate from the course.
"Sir..." The staff member touched Lassett's shoulder with some hesitation, and when the other party opened an eye opener's eyes, the staff member pointed to the observation window on the outer wall.
Following the direction pointed out by the staff, Lassiter saw the fiery red sky at dusk.
Lassiter was puzzled.
The staff whispered: "Sir, do you remember the missiles we launched?"
At this moment, Lassett's face changed drastically, and he rushed out of the command room to the spiral staircase regardless of his identity.
Standing here, he can see the entire sky.
Then, he saw the sky behind Destroyer, there was a immense cloud pillar that looked like gold and pink.
These cloud pillars traverse the entire sky, and the more they go towards the end of the sky, the more obvious they become. You can even see that cloud pillar is actually made up of many small, sea snake-like threads.
This is the smoke trail from the engine after the missile was launched.
Those smoke contains a lot of liquid and gaseous waste, and small particles after burning solid fuel.
If it is sunny at noon, the smoke will appear pure white. But now it is dusk, and the brilliance of the setting sun renders them into a clear golden cloud pillar of anomaly.
In a calm weather, the trajectory of the missile after launching can be maintained for several hours, let alone the smoke trail left by the dense flight of more than 100 missiles?
As long as the crew on the target ship is not blind, they will definitely notice the golden cloud pillar in the sky. Of course, they will be guided by this cloud pillar and find the target as accurately as a radar.
Lassiter originally imagined these missiles as a deadly net.
Now it seems that this "net" is indeed deadly enough, and merely is his life.
Why is it dusk?
Why is it only half an hour to escape to time?
At this moment, how much Lassiter hoped that Goddess of Luck would give him another hour to support him until night fell.
……
A few minutes later, a stern alarm sounded in all the cabins of this Destroyer.
Seven alarms were short and one long. The crew members who stood at each post heard the alarms, as if they had heard a cry from the abyss.
Because this is the highest level of all distress warnings.
This is an abandon ship alert.
After hearing the alarm, everyone must immediately abandon all work and rush to the deck to take a rescue boat to evacuate the mothership within five minutes.
Five minutes means that the crew has no time to pack their belongings, nor are they allowed to bring any personal belongings that take up space.
At this moment, everyone has crazy questions in their hearts, but no one wastes time asking questions.
Order is above all else, they can only gritted their teeth and rushed out of the work area to the deck.
When they arrived on the deck, they didn't find any signs of an enemy attack.
Destroyer relies on oil as its power source, and it is not nuclear power that is likely to be completely scrapped in the event of an accident. Besides, Destroyer is doing well now, why abandon the ship?
"This is not a drill, everyone will immediately perform emergency evacuation work as scheduled programming."
"This is not a drill..."
Destroyer is decelerating urgently. A lifeboat was released to in the sea by the boom. The cabin was full of crew members who were ignorant of "Am I dreaming".
In the other direction of Destroyer, the frigate is executing the same emergency evacuation order.
Ten minutes later, multiple lifeboats of 20 have floated on the sea with all the crew.
Then these lifeboats spread out like flowers, spreading towards the surrounding waters.
The lifeboat is equipped with a high-speed motor. Although its range is only a few hundred nautical miles, it can reach a speed of close to forty knots.
In addition, with the size of a lifeboat, they can completely disappear from the target ship’s sight range by just tens of nautical miles away.
As it is no longer possible to take the Destroyer and escape the magic hand of the target ship, this is the only self-rescue plan that Fleet Commander Rasit can think of.
They have already fired all the missiles, and even the first frigate was completely destroyed before it even sent the distress signal.
Lassiter, who doesn't want to die early, would rather ruin all of his own future~IndoMTL.com~ and don't want to take another look at the "Black Monster".
Of course ~
If he didn't do anything, and leave a Destroyer and a frigate here, he would definitely lose his future while also losing his life.
So he ordered someone to place a timed self-destructing device in the ammunition depot. After half an hour, when the target ship arrived here, he would see two fire clouds rising high above the sea.
Its practical remote control self-destruct device, wait until the target ship comes into contact with Destroyer and then start again, is the best solution.
But Lassett did not dare to bet whether the electromagnetic interference device on the target ship could still work.
In order to be foolproof, this timing device can only be a mechanical working principle.
"Escape, how far you can escape." After Lasit, who was curled up in the cabin, said this to the staff officer, he buried his head in the life jacket and never looked at the sea outside. .
I'm done.
