With the combustion of the boiler, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam entered the high-pressure turbine and became a surging power, driving the warship to sail at high speed, and soon reached the maximum speed of 32 knots.
Although it is not as fast as the gas turbine, its high-speed performance is not weak under normal circumstances because of its high power.
At this time, in their own scheduled splash zone, the several warships of yangbei country were still sailing slowly. They had freedom of navigation in the sea. They wanted to be here, right here.
Destroyer No. 13 was swinging here at a cruising speed of 15 knots. At this time, they saw a destroyer from the Han country, braving the wind and waves, coming at a high speed here.
At the same time, destroyer 107 has also sent out international messages in flag language. Please leave here immediately!
"Don't worry about them!" Captain Richard said. At this time, he was carrying a cup of coffee. He was very tired when he got here in the middle of the night last night. Now, let's have a cup of coffee at leisure.
With coffee in one hand and the bridge window in the other, he looked out. When he saw the track of the Han destroyer, his face became serious: "pay attention, speed up, five!"
Our warship is just on the other side's route. If we don't dodge in advance, the other side's bow will certainly hit our side. The tonnage of the two ships is about the same size. Such a collision is definitely our loss. The strength of the bow is high, and the bow is still sharp. It is like a knife. It will certainly break a big hole in their side.
There are many ways to dodge. For example, turn the rudder now, but if you turn the rudder now, you have to leave the sea. Of course, it's not what he wants to do.
If you speed up first, the other party will have to sail behind you. At the same time, after you speed up, you still have enough speed to maneuver.
When sailing on the sea, you don't want to move. If you want to turn, you must have speed. The rudder surface can provide enough torque to turn. If the speed is low, you will be slow.
However, it is not a matter of stepping on the accelerator on land to speed up thousands of tons of warships.
Thick black smoke came out of the chimney at the top, and the warship began to accelerate. At this time, the warship on the side turned!
"What do they want?" Captain Richard frowned, looked at the other party's natural and unrestrained turn and continued to stand on his own route. If he sailed in this way, there would still be a risk of collision.
The other party really doesn't want to live?
At sea, once a collision occurs, it is quite dangerous.
Ordinary civilian ships have low strength. Sometimes when they collide, they sink directly, and the crew are killed.
The warship is strong enough and has damage control. After being hit, it may not sink immediately. However, it is still far from the mainland. If the ship after collision wants to sail back to the port safely, it depends on God's consent. A sea storm can overturn the damaged ship.
Therefore, the collision at sea is a terrible accident, but now the other party deliberately bumps into it. Aren't they afraid of death? His eyes were wide open, watching the destroyer ride the wind and waves and come here at high speed. In his eyes, the uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger.
By this time, his warship had accelerated to 25 knots.
"Damn it, aren't they really going to dodge?" Richard murmured.
The other side's speed is too fast. Seeing that the two sides are getting closer and closer, the other side shows no sign of dodging.
"The collision is expected in three minutes." this way, the chief officer reported to the captain.
Captain Wei stood on the bridge, looking forward with bright eyes, but did not order to turn.
"It is expected to collide in two minutes."
Captain Wei clenched his fist. These guys of yangbei country, if you don't get out of the way, you'll kill you! If you don't go back to herding sheep, go wild here!
"It is expected to collide in a minute."
"Attention, get ready for impact." Wei Jian shouted loudly. If the other party doesn't give way, it can only hit it!
Hearing his command, all the soldiers firmly grasped the handrails around them and fixed their bodies. After a while, once they collided, the vibration might be very strong.
I'm going to hit you! If you want to avoid being hit, you have to get away!
"Full right rudder, full right rudder!" Captain Richard shouted. With his cry, the helmsman's hands turned the steering gear quickly.
The rudder at the tail deflected, and the sea water made a loud sound. At this time, it had reached a high speed of 28 knots. The destroyer No. 13 was turning, and its body had tilted over.
Then Richard felt the coffee in his hand and splashed it on his hand. It was so hot!
His body was leaning, and his heart began to fear. These guys are crazy!
The hull of Destroyer No. 13 began to turn rapidly, but the destroyer of Han country was still approaching quickly!
"Double car reverse, left rudder!" Captain Wei shouted.
At sea, the ship just doesn't have brakes. To slow down, it usually disconnects the power and the propeller at the tail stops. In this way, the ship rushes forward by inertia and stops.
It's the same as losing the accelerator.
If you want to decelerate faster, that is to reverse the propeller. In this way, pushing the sea water forward can provide more deceleration force.
The hull of Destroyer 107 began to slow down and turn. The two warships finally sailed side by side.
"Double cars, advance four." in the moment of side-by-side, Captain Wei continued to shout: "right rudder!"
"Damn it, what are they doing?" Captain Richard here was about to collapse. He looked at the other party's warships sailing side by side with his own side. Then, the other party's bow began to press over again!
"Right rudder, right rudder!"
Before the hot coffee on his hand was wiped off, he gave a loud order and saw the other party's bow almost in contact with his own! Even a gentle touch can have terrible consequences.
Captain Richard's eyes were going to be angry. At this time, he really wanted to order the left rudder to collide. He was afraid of anything, but he was rational. He restrained his impulse.
From a distance, destroyer 107 took the lead, rammed destroyer 13 and forced the other party to turn around. Now, sailing side by side, it is constantly running against the other party, squeezing the other party out slowly and slowly, leaving the splash area.
"Good job!" on Yuanwang 1, Qin Guan couldn't help admiring the practice of ship 107.
No matter the equipment is good or bad, as long as it is a battlefield, it is absolutely not afraid of bayonets!
Other warships are also doing the same action. The ships of yangbei country, like sheep, are squeezed out a little bit. Finally, the sea area in the splash area is empty!
"Report to the superior that we have controlled the splash area," shouted General Zhao.
