Captain Chen took the document and read it carefully.
The document was densely packed with various technical parameters and repair steps. He didn't understand them, but he understood the most crucial point.
To repair the oil field, the hydraulic system of a submarine needs to be dismantled and reassembled into a temporary blowout preventer to prevent the oil well from blowing out.
"Dismantling the submarine?" Captain Chen frowned. "That won't work. We only have two submarines right now. If we dismantle one, even escaping in the future will be a problem! Captain Ma, you don't think we can rest easy just because we have two small islands to live on, do you?"
There are no prophecy videos now, but everyone knows that the end of the world cannot end like this!
But they cannot predict what natural disasters will occur in the future.
Now that human activities are all restricted to the ocean, submarines that can dive are extremely important.
Captain Ma countered with a question: "Captain Chen, our navy, including the survivors, now has 6,000 to 7,000 people. Two submarines are simply not enough for so many people. But without the oil fields, we are now like a bird in a cage, a turtle in a jar. A hurricane will destroy us!"
Captain Ma is also the captain of a ship. He has a hot temper and speaks bluntly.
Captain Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Come on, I'll go with you and see what the technicians have to say."
They went together to the cruiser's conference room.
At this time, a group of technicians were gathered around a table, nervously discussing the details of the repair plan.
"The situation on the seabed is extremely complex," said a gray-haired engineer, pointing to a map. "The impact of the super-strong hurricane and tsunami caused the supporting columns of the drilling platform to break, triggering a series of collapses. The oil tanks have also leaked, and crude oil has already contaminated the surrounding sea."
"Even worse," another young technician added, "is that the hydraulic system used to maintain the operation of the subsea blowout preventer has been completely destroyed, and a blowout could occur at any time."
"We must act quickly," the old engineer said firmly, "otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
To repair the oil field, not only does it require dismantling a submarine's hydraulic system, but divers also need to work at a depth of 60 meters on the seabed for 8 hours, risking crude oil pollution.
This requires taking huge risks.
Captain Chen thought about it for two days and held two more days of high-level meetings, and finally decided to do as the technicians said.
Although submarines are very important, the most serious problem at present is the fuel problem of warships.
So, they first need professional divers to go into the water to work.
As soon as the news was announced, Zheng Jing, an ace diver in the navy, took the initiative to request to carry out this diving mission.
He is tall, with sharp eyes, and exudes the iron-blooded aura of a soldier.
Captain Chen agreed and gave some encouragement.
Zheng Jing led a team of six experienced divers on a cruiser to the damaged oil field.
Due to the crude oil leak, thick oil stains floated on the sea surface and the cruiser could only stop far away from the oil field.
"Get ready to go into the water!" Zheng Jing stood on the deck and said to the team members behind him.
He took a deep breath and jumped into the sea.
The cold sea water wrapped around Zheng Jing's body. He quickly dived down and swam towards the oil field on the seabed.
The sea water was filled with a pungent smell of crude oil, and visibility was less than 1 meter. Zheng Jing could only grope forward with the diving light in her hand.
After reaching the seabed, Zheng Jing and his team members immediately began their intensive work.
They need to reassemble the disassembled submarine hydraulic system components into a temporary blowout preventer in the turbid sea water.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the repair work progressed slowly.
When the project was 70% complete, an accident occurred: Zheng Jing's breathing tube was suddenly entangled by floating steel bars, making it impossible to breathe.
