Chapter 286： heavily clouded

The approaching three-meter-high wave and the thick black clouds above it as thick as cotton made the captain of the fearless battleship, Colonel Jinsen, inexplicably worried.

His warship can be said to be the largest fortress on the sea so far, and 10 305mm guns can compete with any enemy. If it weren't for the fact that the puppet empire could not be reached directly from the sea, he even felt that with these warships, Ailan Hill could secure a victory.

It is a pity that the Navy has never had the opportunity to expand its army and can only exist as a foil. It wasn't until recently that Ailan Hill's sea fleet really encountered challenges.

"Wow!" The huge wave slapped directly on the bow of the battleship, stirring up countless broken waves. The entire battleship undulated with the waves, standing on Cambridge, and Captain Jinsen looked at the distance where a beam of lightning had struck from time to time.

"Visibility is declining! Captain!" A non-commissioned officer reminded Jin Sen loudly: "The place where we are is already very dangerous!"

"The destroyer Bamason requested to retreat. Their tonnage is too small and the waves are very serious!" A liaison officer walked behind Captain Jinsen and reported loudly.

This fleet consists of 4 destroyers and 4 cruisers, as well as a dreadnought ship. The scale can be said to be very large.

However, in the immediate storm, this fleet seemed so small. There is no rain in the sky. It can be said that the storm in front of me is wicked from inside to outside, which makes people feel very uneasy.

"Let all the destroyers retreat 30 kilometers! Arrange a second cordon outside the storm! Keep the communication channel open! If you encounter interference, report immediately!" Jin Sen frowned slightly and ordered his men.

"The image transmission is still normal, mainly because the waves are too big! The nearby sea water also has some changes, and the color is obviously deeper than the sea water in other sea areas." A technician said with a worried expression.

"In a sense, there are so many abnormal signs in this sea area. It is indeed certain that something will happen here." Another technician looked at the instrument in front of him and shook his head depressed.

He brought an instrument to monitor the vibration, but found that on the sea, because of the wave height, it was impossible to monitor the vibration normally. The warship he was on was always vibrating, and the vibration was very severe.

The three cruisers adjusted their positions. Opened the distance between each other. In such weather conditions, they cannot guarantee that their course will be under control. Therefore, keeping a distance is undoubtedly the best way to ensure safety.

On the sea, the waves seemed to be bigger than before. The huge waves hit the tall and sturdy side of the dreadnought battleship with a loud bang.

Inside the battleship, the sailors nervously listened to the twisted metal creaking of the battleship's hull, and continued their work nervously.

Some people are filling coal into the boiler, and some soldiers are resting in the shaking cabin. Their hammocks swayed in the waves, accompanied by flickering electric lights, and muddy air.

"The cruiser Barbarian used lights to send news that there were some problems with their power system. They could only maintain the current speed, and it would take 1 hour before they could be repaired." Another officer sent one from the tense bridge. Not too good news.

The naval battleship itself is a precision machine, and it is a matter of course for it to malfunction. Coupled with the current sea conditions, it would be weird if there are no problems.

"It's okay, we will keep this speed!" Looking at the speedometer, Jinsen planned to accommodate the cruiser Barbarian and keep a fleet intact.

He has already lost the sight of the outer destroyers to detect because of the sea conditions. If one more cruiser is left behind, then his fleet will exist in name only.

"What the **** is this weather? Huh? Yesterday the antenna of a cruiser was struck by lightning, and today there was a problem with the boiler of a cruiser... Damn it." An officer whispered while looking at the foggy weather outside the window. Tao.

Visibility is indeed decreasing, the light is getting darker and darker, and there is a faint mist. The lightning in the distance can't be seen clearly, only the light that passes through the thick fog can be seen.

"Turn on the searchlight! Start the search radar!" Jinsen had to give an order ten minutes later. Visibility is too low, he must ensure the observation of the fleet, after all, his purpose here is to observe.

If he knew there were enemies nearby, his order would be the opposite. He wants to turn off all the lights and prepare for battle.

But there was nothing in this sea area yesterday. The order Jin Sen received was to monitor this sea area, not to search and wipe out the enemy.

"Generate electricity to Ailan Hill! Describe what we saw. What about the photos? Have you transmitted it back?" Jinsen sent a telegram back an hour ago, and now he has to send another telegram.

"The transmission display was successful... I don't know if there will be a problem." A technician replied while fiddling with the machine in front of him.

Since satellites can transmit pictures, it is not difficult for battleships to transmit pictures back. Anyway, there is long-distance image transmission technology, everything is very convenient.

Time passed by one minute and one second. After half an hour, Jinsen looked at the breaking waves on the bow and asked the adjutant next to him: "How long have we not received a telegram from Ailan Hill?"

"I haven't received a telegram for about 40 minutes! The radio communication was severely disrupted, and the radio communication between the destroyers and us in the periphery was also intermittent." The adjutant replied worriedly.

"Let the Barbarian turn around and return immediately! Transmit the image back to Ailan Hill at the edge of the storm! I think our image transmission, as well as the telegram, have been disturbed!" Captain Jinsen frowned and ordered.

Now he feels that his fleet has lost contact with the outside world, so he must immediately change his tactical arrangements.

"Let the fleet turn! The position we are in now is a bit too weird! There is no need to risk! Get out of here!" He gave a series of orders, and then began to signal the cruiser that was following him.

Jinsen watched the battleship slowly turn around in the waves, and said to the technician who was not far from him: "I think this situation...the magical eye in the endless sea should be here."

"We also judged this way. There are some strong magnetic fields and the weather conditions are also very bad..." The technicians also had lingering fears about the bad weather conditions in front of them, and replied, "Returning may be the right choice."

On a b-52 modified reconnaissance aircraft with a huge auxiliary fuel tank hoisted under the wing, the pilot was surprised to see the cloud pillar formed by the dark cloud directly leading to the sky, causing the aircraft to change its flight direction.

He looked at the co-pilot who was equally astonished by his side, and reported to the people on the radio side: "I didn't see the fleet! The neighborhood was enveloped by a huge updraft. It was too big, more than a nuclear weapon. The mushroom cloud formed by the explosion is ten times bigger...maybe a hundred times..."

"Yes! We can't see the inner core! I don't know what it looks like! But I can see lightning in the dark cloud, which is pretty bad..." The plane flew flexibly against the edge of the dark cloud in the sky, and the pilot answered cautiously The commander's question on the radio.

"We are shooting...yes, a very bad picture!" The pilot adjusted his course again, and then saw a track on the sea: "I saw the fleet! A ship...but I didn't see it. others!"

"Surveillator No. 3 calls Supervisor No. 1! Summoner No. 3 calls Supervisor No. 1! If you hear it, please answer! If you hear it, please answer!" The pilot changed the communication channel and repeated to the intercom.

"I am the destroyer Naranbak! I can hear your call! The interference is very serious! We cannot transmit image signals to Ailan Hill! Now we are adjusting our position! Can you see the dark clouds behind us?"

"Naranbak, we can hear your voices! We can see the dark clouds...Unless you are blind, who can't see such a big target?" the pilot joked while clutching the phone.

...

On the outskirts of Ferry City, the sandy beach is covered with salt-dried pits. A saltworks worker was surprised to find an uninvited guest on the beach. He shouted loudly and attracted everyone in the vicinity.

They saw an ugly fish that was about one meter wide and more than ten meters long. It had long been dead on the beach. This strange fish has a hideous face and dense fangs in its mouth. A pair of huge eyes that cannot be closed looks fierce and vicious, and the whole body is white and emits a fishy smell.

"Isn't this a deep-sea fish?" A well-informed old fisherman looked at the strange fish in front of him and said strangely: "This is a rift fish, a monster that lives in the fissures of hell. It will be in the shallow sea as soon as it arrives. Will die, so no one can see a living riftfish."

By his side, some young people had never seen such a vicious fish, and they all sighed and wondered at the corpse of the fish. It is not easy to see such a huge fish, especially an ugly fish that looks so ugly.

There are many species of whales and sharks in the oceans of this world, and they are roughly as few as the earth's environment. However, because of technology, people are far from able to recognize the sea, so they are full of awe for the sea.

"There must be something going on... There must be something... a very bad thing." The old man took his gaze away from the corpse of the strange fish and raised his head to look at the distant sea level.

He saw the black cloud over there, so he frowned: "I have lived here for so many years, and I haven't seen such a big storm..."
