Only one destroyer and one supply ship returned this time.
Yuan Yi did not return with the fleet.
The rescue workers have left; their work here is over.
However, the aircraft carriers Beijing and Shanghai have already formed a fleet and have not withdrawn.
They were still wandering in the nearby waters.
Inside the command center of the aircraft carrier Beijing.
Aircraft carrier Jingcheng: Captain Yi Feng, Deputy Captain Wang Quan, Political Commissar Chen Guohua, Chief of Staff Liang Xin.
Aircraft carrier "Magic City": Captain Zhang Huaming, Deputy Captain Quan Li, Political Commissar Sun Xiaobin, Chief of Staff Du Zicheng.
The rest of you are seated in the command center.
"Connect to the JW conference room."
Yi Feng issued the order directly.
"yes."
Everyone saw the large screen in the command room flicker a few times and then display images.
The generals sat upright on either side of the table in the conference room.
At the very top are two elderly people.
"Attention! Salute!"
"Greetings, Commander."
Those present stood up and saluted the screen.
"Sit down."
"The purpose of this meeting is for you to report on the situation."
Yi Feng glanced at Yuan Yi, who was sitting in the corner.
"Yes, sir."
"This rescue mission was carried out by Staff Officer Yuan Yi, who personally piloted the Poseidon-1 submersible into the water."
"It was also thanks to Staff Officer Yuan Yi's decisiveness and composure in the face of danger that the rescue mission could be completed in the shortest possible time."
Yi Feng showered Yuan Yi with compliments.
What do you mean by remaining calm in a crisis? Take advantage of your composure.
Inside the JW conference room in the capital, everyone shook their heads as they listened to Yi Feng's words.
Although they had received the news that Yuan Yi would personally pilot the Poseidon 1 into the sea.
Looking back now, I can't help but say, "High skill breeds boldness."
This was entirely a matter of luck, yet he dared to pilot the Poseidon 1, a vessel previously operated by dozens of people, all by himself.
If I didn't know that this guy couldn't possibly be the one who did it.
They all suspected that he was responsible for the submarine's accident, otherwise how could he have located it so accurately?
And it was in such a hidden location.
What do you think?
"The salvage operation is quite difficult, mainly because it takes place inside the cave."
"The submarine is definitely not navigable. How can we pull it out from more than 300 meters deep in the cave?"
"Moreover, the water pressure is high underwater, and there are not many submarines that can dive to a depth of more than 1,000 meters. Moreover, towing a submarine would be even more difficult."
If it's not inside a cave, it's directly on the seabed.
Even if it sinks several thousand meters more, the salvage ship can still retrieve it.
The difficulty lies in figuring out how to get out of the cave, and it's uncertain whether we'll encounter another giant octopus attack.
"Young Yuan, tell me what you're thinking?"
At this moment, Old Zhou spoke directly.
Upon hearing Elder Zhou's words in a corner of the aircraft carrier's command room, Yuan Yi immediately stood up.
"Is it really necessary to salvage it?"
"Shouldn't we be able to mass-produce these attack submarines by now?"
“I don’t think it’s necessary; the power system is destroyed.”
"The other radars and navigation systems were also completely destroyed."
"It may have already broken under the pressure."
"Anything is possible, and the cause of the accident was a giant octopus."
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, everyone fell silent.
Yes, if it's a technical issue, the mistake can be corrected once it's salvaged.
However, if the accident is caused by external factors, the research results will not be significant.
The salvage operation is also quite difficult and costly.
Records show that each deep-sea salvage operation costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
In 1974, Emily's salvage ship located and salvaged the 2,700-ton former Russian K-129 submarine at a depth of 5,000 meters. The operation cost as much as $500 million.
In 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea of the Arctic Ocean. A Dutch consortium was responsible for the salvage operation, which lasted 15 hours and ultimately cost nearly 70 million euros.
Salvage of Ship No. 1: In 2009, our mother salvaged Ship No. 1, and the entire salvage and preservation cost as much as 300 million yuan.
In addition, the daily rental fee for the salvage vessel is as high as RMB 800,000.
Such a high expense is not really necessary compared to the benefits.
Therefore, Yuan Yi does not recommend salvage.
"What if this submarine is salvaged by another country?"
Old Master Chu directly raised a question.
It should be noted that the Type 096B is currently China's most advanced attack nuclear submarine.
If Emilyka is salvaged and used for research, then all of our Type 96B nuclear submarines will lose their purpose.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi also fell silent.
This is not impossible, considering that Emily's submarine is still wandering in the deep sea.
Sonar can also detect the other party's movements from time to time.
Submarines from other countries were also active.
"Then let's salvage it."
"You'll still be leading the team this time."
"The salvage ship has already set sail. Once it arrives, you will need to help it pinpoint the submarine's location."
"Once successfully salvaged, it will be transported back directly!"
Then we discussed other topics.
For example, the existence of giant octopuses, and how they should train in this sea area in the future.
If there's only one giant octopus, that's fine, but what if there are many?
What if they attack passing submarines again?
