777: C777 Crossing the Equator

C777 Crossing the Equator

"Comrades, today is a day worth celebrating." On Viewing One, General Zhao's voice sounded from the loudspeaker. "We are about to cross the equator! In celebration of our division passing through the equator, the division organized a ceremony to cross the equator. "

Following General Zhao's orders, all the ships started to move.

In the main control hall, Qin Guan looked far into the distance. He could see the sky and the sea. He had no idea where he was at all. Finding his position on the vast ocean was a challenge.

However, the precise positioning equipment on the ship indicated that they were about to cross the equator.

If the Earth was considered a ball, it was revolving around the axis. The vertical plane of the axis was circular, and the largest one was the equator.

The equator divided the Earth into two hemispheres, north and south. For many years, the navy of Han Country had always been active in the northern hemisphere. Now, it was the first time they officially crossed the equator and reached the southern hemisphere!

Many navy troops would hold various ceremonies when crossing the equator. For example, the Y Country Navy was proud of teasing the new sailors, the first time they came to the equator. They would be severely toyed with, such as forcing them to drink seawater.

Of course, the Han Navy would not do that. This was a very serious moment.

The entire formation turned into a one-word formation, at the very front of the formation. It was destroyer 107. Captain Wei stood on the bridge and watched the sailors lining up on the side of the ship. They were wearing the latest sailor uniform, the white sailor uniform. It made them look magnificent.

"Fill in empty shells." Captain Wei shouted.

In front of them was a pair of 130mm Naval Gun, which began to automatically load the shell. At this time, destroyer 107 was getting closer and closer to the equator.

"Singing the national anthem!"

When General Zhao gave the order, all the ships began to sing the majestic national anthem. At this moment, all the soldiers were singing along.

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves..."

In the control room, everyone started singing as well. The majestic national song echoed in the entire hall and in the sky above the Peaceful Ocean.

The head of the 107th ship broke through the waves. Just as they reached the equator, Captain Wei shouted loudly, "Fire the cannons!"

"Boom, boom!" 130 Naval Gun could have been fired continuously. But now... It was a single shot. Each shell fired a cannon. When the cannon muzzle left behind a large fireball, the large fireball disappeared. Black smoke rose up.

17 cannon shots continuously echoed in the sky above the pacific ocean.

Everyone's hearts rippled. The vast ocean was no longer an insurmountable natural chasm. We crossed the horizon, crossed the equator, and arrived at the southern hemisphere of Earth. History would be remembered. Han Navy had already left a trail of Deep Blue on the pacific ocean.

Five nautical miles away from the fleet, the captain of the Y Country Navy's "Spruance" destroyer Lieutenant Colonel Turner looked at the large scale operation and could not help but snort in contempt.

"Hmph, it's only their first time crossing the equator, and they're already so excited."

The Y Country Navy had long been the navy of the world. They were deployed around the world, and they were everywhere. They were not like the Han people, who had just arrived at the equator for the first time, and they were still so excited. He could not help but look down on them.

"Colonel, there seems to be a problem with their route." Behind him, the first mate said to him, "Their current route is different from the actual landing point in their report. Their course deviates by at least one degree."

Han Country had already informed the world. Their landing point for the rockets was confirmed, but now the group's course deviated.

"Han Navy is too lousy. They actually lost their way." The vice-captain at the side couldn't help but laugh.

They had never taken the Han Navy seriously.

"No, although it's their first time going out to sea, they still have the basic sailing techniques. It's definitely not their navigation problem that causes more than one error. It's intentional."

Although it was the first time the navy came out, there were still cargo ships in Han Country. Those cargo ships were all sailing around the world, how could there be a mistake?

In this era, there was still no global positioning system. However, the Starlight GPS technology used in ancient sailing is still in use... As long as we find more than two stars in the sky and combine them with the star chart... He would be able to accurately navigate, and there would definitely not be such a huge error.

What did this mean?

"The location they reported in the news was wrong." Lieutenant Colonel Turner said: "They deliberately provided us with the wrong data. If we go to that position and wait, we will definitely miss it"1

In any case, at that time, they could be said to be missiles. Oh, no, the launch rocket deviated in flight. In fact, they did not intend to splash in that area of the sea.

In short, it was impossible to fake the huge fleet in front of them. Han Navy had mobilized so many people, so how could they make low-level mistakes? In other words, their current direction was the correct one!

"We should just follow them." Lieutenant Colonel Turner said, "These Han people are really smart. Fortunately, we have rich experience. "

YCountry and Bear Country had been fighting each other for a long time, and the sea was full of contradictions. How could there be a mistake in tracking a Ballistic Missile? They were well-trained, so they were definitely faster than the other side. As long as they followed the other side... Then they would be able to find the splash point and rescue the equipment cabin in advance!

Lieutenant Colonel Turner made his decision and followed the other party!

The Y Country Navy's warship was only following them, so they naturally saw it too.

General Zhao stood on the bridge and looked at the warship with a pair of binoculars.

"The Spruance Class destroyer of the Y Country uses a gas turbine. It's really fast!" General Zhao looked at the warship of the Y Country on the side and couldn't help but say.

The enemy's warship used the new generation of the LM2500 gas turbine engine in the Y Country. This power system had high power and speed. It was not something that their own boiler could compare with.

Perhaps the maximum speed was about the same, but their own boiler would have to wait for a few hours after the fire was started. When the pressure was enough, they would be able to operate the gas turbine at full power.

"General, there will be bread, there will be everything." Qin Guan said, "As long as we complete the transformation of our Spey Engine, we will be able to further improve it to become the warship's gas turbine."

Almost all the gas turbines were modified from the Aeromotor. For example, the famous LM2500 was modified using the TF39 engine used by the C5 transport aircraft as the blueprint. The main force of the Cattle Country, the "Olympus" warship, used the gas turbine. It was initially developed as the Turbojet Engine of the "Fire God" Strategic Bomber before it was improved. Finally, it was glorious.

If they could, so could the Han Country. Qin Guan had his own system, and he could even exchange those information for more research and development.

The navy also needed his full support.
