Chapter 127: Personally Go Into the Water To Command!
Splash!
Along with a loud sound, the Q-01 nuclear submarine successfully fell into the water!
“Begin shallow water testing,” said the staff member.
It was still according to the previous testing procedure.
Raymond and Professor Thorpe’s eyes were solemn. They were both looking forward to the Q-01 nuclear submarine’s amazing performance!
Everything was normal!
They quickly tried the shallow water area!
“Begin diving in the deep water area.”
The staff member answered while operating.
“Diving 200 meters, water pressure is normal.”
“Diving 400 meters, shell structure is normal.”
Voices came from the staff member’s mouth into everyone’s ears.
At this moment, everyone became nervous again.
Soon, they were about to reach the 500-meter mark. Raymond and Professor Thorpe’s palms were covered in cold sweat as they nervously looked at the big screen.
This time, it was different from the last time. This time, the Q-01 nuclear submarine was in its complete form and carried the expectations of the entire United States!
They had to succeed!
“The diving depth is 480 meters. The shell structure is shaking. There is no water leakage.”
There were still 20 meters left. There was no water leakage on the nuclear submarine. This meant that the hardness of the new titanium alloy composite material was sufficient to deal with the pressure of 480 meters underwater. This was a good thing!
Many scientists were excited. Their eyes were shining.
“Diving depth 493 meters. The shell structure is shaking. The situation is not getting worse. There is no water leakage!”
The staff member spoke with a trembling voice.
The distance to the 500-meter mark was only 7 meters. Whether it could be realized or not depended on the distance of 7 meters!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
At this moment, the alarm sounded urgently.
“What’s going on?” Professor Thorpe asked hurriedly.
Professor Hoppes’ face changed in shock.
“There is a problem with the connection between the remote operation equipment and the control end of the nuclear submarine. The nuclear submarine cannot continue to dive.”
The staff turned his head and sighed.
“This…”
Professor Thorpe was stunned.
“What caused this?” Raymond asked.
The staff looked at the data and said, “The diving depth is too deep. The transmission equipment can not correctly transmit the diving instruction to Q-01. This is a technical problem.”
“What should we do now? We are about to reach 500 meters. How could there be a problem at this time?” Professor Thorpe said anxiously.
“We have never dived to such a deep depth before, and we didn’t expect this to happen. If we dive forward, we might lose contact with the nuclear submarine, and the nuclear submarine might fall into the deep sea.”
The staff answered helplessly.
It was true. The American nuclear submarine had never dived to such a depth before. The deepest depth was only 300 meters.
No one could have imagined that it would be at this awkward 493-meter mountain.
At this moment, the President’s voice was heard in the video. “Professor Thorpe, is there any way to solve this?!”
“President, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do…” Professor Thorpe looked up at the President and hesitated.
Indeed, there was no good solution. It was just a technical problem. It was impossible to solve it immediately!
Moreover, the most important thing now was that the Q-01 nuclear submarine was stuck at the position of 493 meters. They had to hurry up and think of a solution. The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for the entire testing process.
At the thought of this, Professor Thorpe could not help but sigh.
Seeing the reaction on Professor Thorpe’s face, the President naturally understood what he meant.
“President, I have an idea.”
At this moment, Raymond stepped forward and spoke.
After he said that, everyone in the command center looked at Raymond. The President and the Generals on the screen also looked at Raymond in unison.
Professor Thorpe looked at Raymond with a flash in his eyes and said in surprise, “General Raymond, your idea can’t be…”
“The nuclear submarine carries people to carry out the water test. The internal personnel of the nuclear submarine will control the nuclear submarine to dive,” Raymond said.
Professor Thorpe and Professor Hoppes opened their mouths wide after saying that. After being stunned for two seconds, they said, “General Raymond, you should know the dangers involved. The situation last time was a little…”
A group of scientists shook their heads. This absolutely could not be allowed!
If the nuclear submarine carried people to carry out a water test, the danger level of the people following it would be magnified infinitely!
The scene of the nuclear submarine exploding underwater during the last water test was still fresh in everyone’s mind!
No one knew if the Q-01 nuclear submarine would have problems underwater this time.
Moreover, after the last nuclear submarine explosion underwater, the water test this time became even more dangerous!
It could be said that the following people risked their lives to go for a water test. Once anything bad happened, the result waiting for the following people might be that they would disappear from this world forever.
At this time, everyone present knew.
When the President heard this, he also shook his head and said, “Professor Raymond, do you know how dangerous this is?”
“I know, President.” Raymond nodded.
Then, Raymond changed the topic and said seriously, “So, I request to personally go into the water to command!”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Raymond asked to join the team to test the water?
Thorpe hurriedly exclaimed, “Professor Raymond, you have to command the test process. You absolutely cannot go!”
Everyone also looked at Raymond in unison.
“Professor Raymond, you absolutely cannot go! The entire scientific research project was led by you. If something goes wrong…”
“General Raymond, no, you absolutely cannot go. If you go, if you fail to test the waters, who will lead the entire research project?”
“Think again, General Raymond. You are still young. You still have to carry the flag of the American scientific research community in the future. You absolutely can not take the risk!”
“That’s right, you don’t have to go now. The entire project also needs you to command it. How can you let the commander personally say it!”
Raymond turned around and looked at the worried crowd.
“Everyone, don’t worry. All the projects have been completed. I’ve kept all the information. The current direction of the scientific research project is correct. Once there’s a problem, as long as we continue to develop, it won’t take long to develop an international top-notch nuclear submarine!”
“Also, I’m not arrogant. In the entire nuclear submarine, other than Professor Thorpe and Professor Hoppes, I’m the one who knows the most about this. I will follow the team into the nuclear submarine. If there’s any problem, I can directly solve it. That way, everyone will be safer!”
“President, I request to personally go into the water to command!”
Raymond spoke without any fear on his face.
