Chapter 482 Seventy Ghosts
Lin Wanxia dreamed that she was on a submarine, and the entire submarine was swallowed into a huge whirlpool and shattered.
She was the only survivor in the entire submarine.
It was Jiang Sinian who pushed her out.
"No! Jiang Sinian, don't!"
Jiang Sinian, who was awakened by Lin Wanxia's shouting, hugged Lin Wanxia, who was sweating with her eyes tightly closed, and coaxed her softly.
Lin Wanxia slowly opened her eyes.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Sinian lowered his head and kissed Lin Wanxia's tears away, "Dream?"
Lin Wanxia stared at Jiang Sinian in a daze, raised her hand to hook his neck and pull him towards herself.
...
The physical stimulation made Lin Wanxia regain her rationality.
She panted lightly to calm the violent ups and downs of her body and mind.
"What kind of dream scared you so much?" Jiang Sinian asked, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Yes. I dreamed that the submarine was swallowed by the sea. You are all gone, and I am the only one alive."
Jiang Sinian raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Wanxia's smooth face, "Silly, you are just scared by the leader. He said those words just to make us more alert. Be careful everywhere. In fact, accidents are low-probability events."
Lin Wanxia nodded, "I know."
But she couldn't control it.
After having dinner with the leader, she went to check the data.
In the past twenty years, there have been a total of six submarine accidents.
It stands to reason that the frequency is not high.
But there are only a few submarines in total.
The important thing is that in these submarine accidents, no one has ever survived.
The first submarine that was recorded to have an accident was from the United States. There were 129 people on board, and no one survived.
All the accidents were nuclear submarines.
It's hard to say whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen. We will all come back safely."
Seeing that Lin Wanxia was still panicking, Jiang Sinian sighed, "The commander is actually just afraid of the worst. It happened two years ago, when fishermen from the archipelago picked up a submarine."
"Ah? Which country is it from?"
"Ours. You can't tell which country the submarine belongs to from the surface, there is no marking, and I led people to pry it open. There are seventy bodies inside, most of them are my comrades."
"What happened? Why did the submarine have an accident?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head.
At that time, he was still the battalion commander, and he could only report to his superiors one level at a time.
After verification, the superiors said that this was a submarine that had completed its mission and should have returned home quietly.
I don't know why it disappeared.
It was not until the submarine was found near the archipelago that people knew that all the people on board were dead.
Strangely, after testing, the submarine was found to be in good condition.
All functions were functioning normally.
To this day, their deaths remain a mystery.
Among the seventy people, fifty-eight were officers and soldiers, and twelve were students majoring in submarines.
"Why haven't I heard you mention this?"
Lin Wanxia realized that she had asked a stupid question after asking, "I know it should be kept secret."
Jiang Sinian nodded and shook his head, "I just don't think it's appropriate to talk about it. It's not really a secret."
After all, it was the fishermen who salvaged the boat.
With so many witnesses, it's impossible to keep it secret.
I simply think that this kind of thing is not suitable to be a topic of conversation.
"Where is the submarine? Can I go see it?"
"It's in the archipelago. The higher-ups haven't agreed on what to do with it, and some leaders think it should continue to serve. Soldiers should not be superstitious or afraid of life and death, especially when their comrades are the dead. There is nothing to be afraid of.
But some leaders think that if they rashly activate the submarine without understanding the cause of the death of seventy people, what if something goes wrong again?
So the submarine has been stranded on the shore."
***
Lin Wanxia is a man of action. Even though she didn't sleep well the night before, she ran to see the submarine with two big panda eyes.
The submarine is on an island with a particularly earthy name.
It's called Changshou Island.
The main reason is that the shape of the island looks like the Chinese character for longevity when you look down from above.
After all, it is a submarine still in service, and its appearance is well maintained. The inside has not been moved for fear of delaying the inspection of the "experts". However
, it is outdoors all year round, so there is no smell inside.
Jiang Sinian stopped Lin Wanxia at the door, "Seventy people have died here, aren't you afraid?"
Lin Wanxia thought about it and shook her head. Logically, she should be afraid. Or, if seventy people died in another place, she would probably avoid it. However, most of the people who died inside were officers and soldiers. It is the land of justice. Jiang Sinian looked at Lin Wanxia strangely and made way. Lin Wanxia heard Jiang Sinian muttering behind her: "Not afraid when you should be afraid. Howling when you shouldn't be afraid." Lin Wanxia turned around, pinched Jiang Sinian's waist and said: "First, being afraid when you shouldn't be afraid is to let you show your masculine charm. Give you the opportunity to protect me. Second, this is not the time to be afraid. The people's soldiers will not harm civilians regardless of life or death. I..." She turned her index finger and pointed at her nose, "Just a standard civilian. Finally, I seem to be a ghost, right?" Is there anyone more bizarre than her? Jiang Sinian raised his hands high in surrender, "You are right." Lin Wanxia snorted arrogantly and continued to move forward. Speaking of which, after all, you can't joke about heroes. Lin Wanxia passed by the location of the seventy heroes and bowed obediently before passing by.
When checking the generator, Lin Wanxia sniffed, "Is this a diesel generator?"
Jiang Sinian nodded, "Yes."
Lin Wanxia checked along the generator.
She thought, "I think I know why they died."
"Huh?" Jiang Sinian asked, "How did they die?"
"An accident."
"Accident?" Jiang Sinian raised his eyebrows, obviously not agreeing with this answer, "What kind of accident could kill seventy people like this?"
There were no signs of resistance, nor any protective actions.
"I guess it's probably because of insufficient power caused by long-term sailing."
"Don't make a fuss." Jiang Sinian shook his head, "We usually make full preparations when we go to sea. How could there be a problem of insufficient power? Moreover, the submarine is equipped with professional officers and soldiers, and they know what to do."
Moreover, after the accident, many maintenance officers and soldiers came up to check, and all the equipment was intact.
Including this generator.
"I just saw it. This submarine should be modified based on the former Soviet R-class submarine. It is a general conventional power submarine. This type of submarine has a characteristic of charging, which is that it requires a diesel generator to complete the charging.
However, this charging method has a great disadvantage that it consumes a huge amount of oxygen during charging."
Jiang Sinian narrowed his eyes, "I know this. They should know that when charging, the submarine should float to the surface of the sea and obtain oxygen through the trachea."
There should be no murder.
Lin Wanxia found the location of the oxygen pipe, fumbled for a while, and shook his head, "I don't know why the oxygen pipe couldn't be opened smoothly at that time."
