The identity of the hunter and prey seems to have been transferred.

The Burke-class destroyer made a u-shaped circle on the surface of the sea. The other frigate was faster and opened up with the destroyer in less than a few minutes.

In order to prevent the radio detection radar from discovering its own tracks, they even perform the highest level of radio silence procedures.

The commander of the fleet, Rasit, refused to escape when the hull was violently bumped. He quickly tore off a blank piece of paper from the equipment maintenance register and then wrote something on the pencil.

His mood was as shaking as the command room at the sea at this time.

The speed and the position of the sea can be easily calculated.

The target is sixty-four nautical miles away from the rear.

They are now evacuated at the maximum speed of 32 knots and the target vessel is chasing after 130 knots.

There is no need to go to the equation to calculate this chase and escape, how long the target vessel can catch up with them.

Just a simple calculation, if the target vessel goes straight, it will arrive at their current position within 30 minutes.

What is enough for thirty minutes?

Thirty minutes, enough destroyers and frigates to go in both directions, ran out...

Run out sixteen nautical miles.

Rasit recalled in his mind the data on the influence of the curvature of the earth on the horizon of the sea.

Affected by the curvature of the earth, if the weather is good, the draft is close to eight meters, the height of the antenna at the top of the console, and the Burke-class guided missile destroyer with a drop of 20 meters from the sea level can be observed at a distance of twelve nautical miles. See the control tower outline above the deck.

If the distance is twenty nautical miles, the observer stands on a high position and can use the telescope to find the top radar antenna of the Burke-class destroyer.

According to the scale of the satellite image, the height of the top building of the target vessel is about 30 meters.

Suppose an observer stands on the top of the target vessel and looks at it with a nautical telescope...

Even primary school students know that the straight line distance is the shortest between the two. The commander of the fleet, Rasit, can only order two warships to run straight in different directions, and strive to run the longest distance in the shortest time.

After some calculations, Rasit found that no matter which direction he ran.

The target vessel can catch up in half an hour and can easily lock the two warships by visual observation.

The staff on the side saw the numbers that Rasit wrote on the paper and understood the seriousness of the matter without thinking. "Long... official."

"They don't necessarily find us... don't they?" Rasit looked pale and comforted himself: "From the front of the crossfire, the target vessel is loaded with shielded electromagnetic waves, and high-power electromagnetic interference equipment. ""

"But it doesn't have any long-range firepower configuration. Strictly speaking... it's still a civilian ship."

"We are now in a state of radio silence. The target vessel is sixty nautical miles away and it is impossible to accurately lock our position."

"They have... there is a high probability of going in the wrong direction."

The comfort of Rasit is not unreasonable, and now the target vessel is still sixty nautical miles away. At this distance, whether it is a ship-borne radar or an optical observation device with a resolution large enough to view the lunar crater, it is limited to a very limited range of use under the influence of the curvature of the earth.

Since the target vessel is now unable to obtain accurate coordinates, it is very likely that there will be a deviation in the direction of catching up.

As long as the other side's heading deviates by ten degrees, the observer will not be able to find any target from the surface.

Thinking of this, Rasit could not help but start praying and pray that the other party must deviate from the course.

"Sir..." The staff had touched the shoulders of Rasit again and again, waiting for the other person to open his eyes, and the staff pointed to the observation window on the outer wall.

In the direction of the staff, Rasit saw the fiery red sky at dusk.

Rasit is somewhat puzzled.

The staff whispered: "Sir, do you remember the missiles we launched?"

At this moment, Rasit's face changed dramatically, and he rushed out of the command room to the escalator regardless of his identity.

Standing here, he can see the entire sky.

Then he saw the sky behind the destroyer and had a huge cloud-like cloud.

These cloud columns traverse the entire sky. The more you go to the end of the sky, the more obvious it becomes. You can even see the pillar of the cloud. It is actually composed of many tiny, thin lines like sea snakes.

This is the trace of smoke from the engine after the missile is launched.

The smoke contains a lot of liquid gaseous waste, and the fine particles after the solid fuel burns.

If it is sunny at noon, the smoke will be pure white. But now it’s dusk, the glory of the setting sun, and they are rendered into an unusually bright golden cloud.

In the windless weather, the trajectory of the missile after launch can remain for hours, not to mention the smoke trail left by more than one hundred missiles.

As long as the crew on the target vessel is not a scorpion, they will be able to notice the golden cloud pillar vision of the sky. Of course, they will find the target exactly as the radar guidance under the guidance of this cloud column.

Originally, Rasit imagined these missiles as a deadly big net.

It seems that this "net" is really fatal, but it is his life.

Why is it dusk?

Why only half an hour to escape time?

At this moment, how can Lacyt hope that the goddess of luck can give him another hour, let him support the night.

......

A few minutes later, a stern alarm sounded in all the cabins of the destroyer.

The alarm was seven short and one long, and the crew members who stood in the various positions heard the alarm, just like hearing the cry from the abyss.

Because this is the highest rating of all distress warnings.

This is an abandon ship alert.

After hearing the alarm, everyone must immediately discard all work, and within five minutes, go to the deck and take the lifeboat to evacuate the mothership.

Five minutes means that the crew has no time to pack their belongings or carry any personal belongings that take up space.

At this moment, everyone is crazy in the mind, but no one will waste time questioning.

The order is above everything else, they can only bite their teeth and rush out of the work area to the deck.

When they arrived on the deck, they did not find any signs of enemies.

The destroyer relies on oil as power, and it is not a nuclear power that is likely to be completely scrapped in the event of an accident. Besides, the destroyer is all good now. Why do you want to abandon the ship?

“This is not an exercise. Everyone immediately performs an emergency evacuation in accordance with the booking process.”

"This is not an exercise..."

The destroyer was in an emergency slowdown, and a lifeboat was released into the sea by the boom. The cabin was filled with a savvy crew member who said, "I am not dreaming."

In the other direction of the destroyer, the frigate was carrying out the same emergency evacuation order.

After dozens of minutes, more than 20 lifeboats have carried all the crew members floating in the sea.

Then these lifeboats are scattered like flowers, and they are scattered toward the surrounding waters.

The lifeboat is equipped with a high-speed motor. Although it has only a few hundred nautical miles, it can run close to forty knots.

In addition, in the size of the lifeboat, just a few nautical miles away, they can completely disappear into the target vessel's line of sight.

In the case of the magic hand who has been unable to carry the destroyer and escape the target vessel, this is the only self-help plan that the fleet commander Rasit can think of.

They have shot all the missiles, and even the first frigate, even if the request for a rescue signal was too late, was completely destroyed.

Rasit, who doesn't want to die early, would rather ruin all his future and wouldn't want to look at the "black behemoth" again.

Of course~

If you leave a destroyer and a frigate here, he will definitely lose his life while losing his life.

So he ordered a timed self-destruction device in the ammunition depot. After half an hour, when the target vessel arrived here, he would see two clouds rising high above the sea.

Its practical remote control self-destruction device is the best solution when the target vessel and the destroyer come into contact at that moment.

But Rasit did not dare to gamble whether the electromagnetic interference equipment on the target vessel could still work.

In order to be foolproof, this timing device can only be mechanically operated.

"Escape, you can escape far and far." After Rasit, who was in the cabin, said this to the staff, he buried his head deep into the life jacket and never looked at the sea outside.

I am finished.
