Chapter 486 Life hangs on a thread
Just as the commander received the report, Jiang Sinian and his men were still moving.
At this time, no one would be stupid enough to stay on the spot.
The thousands of times of training in plugging damaged pipes in daily life have become muscle memory, and they can accurately find the position of the valve with their eyes closed.
In less than a minute, Zhang Rucai closed more than a dozen switch valves such as the shaft air conditioner and the cabin cooling fan.
At the same time, Jiang Sinian and Wang Xinfa opened the air valve to establish a back pressure in the cabin.
This is to slow down the flooding.
Although Jiang Sinian is far less familiar with ships than Zhang Rucai and Wang Xinfa.
But he was once the top special forces soldier. It is an exaggeration to say that he can do everything, but he is more familiar with submarines that need to be frequently used than ordinary officers and soldiers.
At least he can drive this submarine away and repair minor faults.
It is not a minor fault now, but it was also in the daily training.
He can keep up with Wang Xinfa's pace.
This series of operations is to save lives. If the water cannot be stopped,
the three of them can only sacrifice themselves to save other compartments.
As for wills, fears, regrets, etc., they are not within the scope of their consideration at all.
Because a delay of one second may cause a ton of water to enter.
The huge pressure of the deep sea sprays the seawater leaking from the port side to the starboard side, and then rushes back to the port side.
The pressure in the cabin increased dramatically, causing their heads to buzz and even the sounds to become abnormal.
At the same time, with the huge noise, not to mention hearing the sounds in the command cabin, even talking between the three people was extremely difficult.
The cabin was full of water mist.
Jiang Sinian relied on his frequent patrols in the submarine during this period of time, and relied on his memory to grope his way down to the middle level of the cabin.
It was really all based on memory, the sea water made it impossible to open his eyes.
He touched the place where the air-conditioning cooling water pipe was broken, and based on his memory, he groped to close the refrigeration system partition valve with hydraulic pressure.
Wang Xinfa followed and closed another valve.
Finally, the water inflow was stopped.
In just a few minutes, dozens of tons of seawater leaked into the main engine room!
Wang Xinfa wiped his face, "Damn it! I've competed with the god of death again."
Jiang Sinian didn't say anything, his brows were still furrowed.
With so much seawater in, can the submarine still surface?
Wang Xinfa knew what Jiang Sinian was thinking, "Captain Jiang, we have tried our best. Let's leave the rest to fate, right?! Think about the bright side, at least we cut off the power and plug the leak, at least to avoid a short circuit that would cause the battery pack to explode. It's good that we can keep the machinery restored."
Jiang Sinian nodded and looked in the direction of the command module worriedly.
He knew Lin Wanxia was there.
But, I don't know if she is safe while she is still pregnant? !
***
At this moment, the main engine room was full of water mist.
Cold mist.
The humidity has reached 90%.
The seawater is almost level with the middle floor.
The sick old captain, holding a pipe, stood next to the mechanical equipment and cursed.
The equipment was covered with seawater.
The whole command cabin was filled with desperate silence.
Lin Wanxia scanned the resolute faces and knew that the silence at this moment was because everyone knew that the hope of the submarine floating again was very slim.
They knew clearly that there was little hope of survival.
But no one panicked, no one cried.
No one cursed or wailed.
Everyone stayed quietly at their posts, doing the last thing they could do.
Lin Wanxia was a little confused.
Is he going to die like this?
It's not a matter of fear.
Because she knew that Jiang Sinian was on this submarine, sharing life and death with her.
Lin Wanxia raised her hand and touched her belly. The child in her belly was not yet formed, and could accompany them to death.
But...
what about Xingxing?
What about Yueyue?
Especially Xingxing, who was going to lose her parents and become an orphan again?
Lin Wanxia suddenly felt that her already difficult breathing began to suffocate.
No!
It shouldn't be like this.
Everyone here is dressed in military uniforms, and they are definitely not there to disappear in this sea in obscurity.
She came into the book with a golden finger, and her system name was the daughter of the sea.
If the daughter of the sea was buried in the sea, wouldn't it be a joke? !
Lin Wanxia thought, there is still something she can do, there must be something.
Yes, if she can't summon the fish, she can still sense the sea.
But what's the use of just sensing the sea?
It was because I was asleep and didn't notice that I ended up in this situation.
Just when Lin Wanxia was in despair again, a bold idea came to her mind.
As the daughter of the sea, can I only sense the sea?
Can I control the sea?
All these thoughts flashed through her mind in the blink of an eye.
The hull of the ship was squeezed and made a crackling sound, as if it would fall apart in the next second.
Lin Wanxia closed her eyes.
How would I know if it works if I don't try?
There should have been a pitch-black vision, but there was a blue three-dimensional grid.
It represented the sea area where they were.
This blue was particularly pure, without any dots of any color.
Probably because such a sea is not suitable for the survival of any living creatures, and no static object can remain still in this sea area.
On the blue grid of the main film, there is only this one dot representing the submarine.
The submarine is like a small boat on the sea, caught in a crazy whirlpool.
Destruction is a matter of a second.
Lin Wanxia took a deep breath and tried to control the sea water in front of her.
She concentrated her mental power unprecedentedly and only wanted to do one thing.
Make the sea water stop and let the submarine float up.
Things that have never been done before are always extremely difficult.
Because there is no order.
Everyone in the command cabin is busy with their own things, and no one will distract themselves to care about what a designer is doing at this time.
So no one noticed that in such a cold command cabin, dense beads of sweat began to appear on Lin Wanxia's forehead.
The submarine is still sinking.
It will soon reach the maximum depth.
Just like airplanes in the sky cannot fly infinitely high, submarines cannot dive endlessly.
Reaching a certain height or depth is equivalent to the line between life and death.
And the 520 submarine is now rapidly approaching the line between life and death.
Everyone can almost start the countdown.
Start the countdown for the 520 submarine and for their own lives.
In the command cabin, the soldier who had never put on his shoes lowered his head and put down his trouser legs that were rolled up high.
After all, he couldn't die with his clothes in disarray.
Even if he didn't have shoes, he had to dress properly.
Probably influenced by him, people began to move one after another.
Some people straightened their clothes, some people adjusted their hats, and some people wiped the seawater off their epaulettes.
Suddenly.
The operator who had been responsible for staring at the depth gauge shouted: "Stop!"
The submarine stopped one meter before the limit depth.
That is to say, they were only one meter away from meeting King Yan.
However, the command cabin was still quiet, and no one cheered.
Because now it was just stopped, no one knew whether it would float up after the suspension.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the depth gauge.
No one noticed that Lin Wanxia in the corner had slowly fallen to the ground.
