LRAB Chapter 1058: Shadow of Scapa Flow ④
Chapter 1058: Shadow of Scapa Flow ④
Outside Scapa Flow, Yang Sikang's fleet had spent a full hour on the way to Scapa Flow, but now it seemed that the distance between them and Scapa Flow had not been shortened at all.
The anchorage whose outline could be seen was just ahead, but the distance they had traveled was enough for a round trip, and now the distance to the anchorage did not seem to have shortened at all.
"It seems that it is not that easy to get to Scapa Flow, but it is not surprising if you think about it. However, this action is really gentle, so gentle that it does not seem like the action of Good Richard."
While Yang Sikang was complaining, he did not stop the work at hand at all. Although the battles continued during this process, the difficulty of the battles for him decreased after the opponents were replaced by those white erosion ships.
But because the situation underwater is getting worse, the submarine team has now returned to the command ship, and the three are currently in the cabin receiving maintenance and supplies.
Bai Ze's auxiliary calculations were constantly optimized during the battle, and now the estimate of the battle progress is quite impressive. Combined with Shanghai Lena's SG radar, the combat efficiency and safety were also greatly improved.
Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. Although it seemed that the battle still could not find a breakthrough in the short term, there was no danger to life.
But it was precisely this situation, this overly lukewarm status quo, that made Yang Sikang feel tense at all times.
"Dock No. 2 has been detected to be open, and the battleship Georgia has been awakened."
Bai Ze’s sudden announcement sounded, Yang Sikang paused, then sighed.
"Tsk, even though I had this backup plan, I didn't expect that I would actually use it... It's just been built, but there's no one around me, and I have to put on the ship's uniform right away and go into battle. This is too bad."
Yang Sikang sighed and scratched his head:
"Although I'm a little worried about the situation over there, I don't have the time to spare right now. Bai Ze, can we communicate with the outside world through the temporary channel?"
"The command has been confirmed and will be executed immediately. Failed. The communication signal has been blocked and the connection cannot be established."
"As expected, it will be like this. There is nothing we can do about it."
All possible arrangements and preparations have been made, but since he is not there, he cannot interfere with the subsequent matters.
Yang Sikang shook his head and brought his thoughts back to the situation at hand. The situation here was not good either. The most troublesome thing was that he could not go to Scapa Flow normally, which meant that the biggest landmark had lost its function here.
"Let's turn. Since we can't close the distance by heading directly towards Scapa Flow, there's no point in trying. There are too few enemies around. Let's head towards the source of the enemies."
Yang Sikang said this as if nothing had happened, and the ship girls had no objection to his order.
The entire fleet quickly changed course, cleared the enemy, re-positioned itself and moved forward quickly.
After they changed their course and no longer focused on reaching Scapa Flow, the sailing process indeed became different from before.
The number of enemies began to increase. Since they were heading in the opposite direction of their origin, they were basically fighting with these erosion ships all the way.
After defeating more and more opponents, the ship girls began to get used to seeing these deformed ships, but it was precisely because they were used to their weirdness that they calmed down and examined them carefully, which brought them more information.
For example, the further these eroded ships travel, the more complete and normal they appear.
"Based on the information we have observed so far, it is possible that these corroded ships were just ordinary ships at first, and there may have been a period of time when they were not visible after being corroded. If this speculation is correct, it means..."
Zhenhai looked at Yang Sikang, who immediately took over the conversation:
"The intensity of the battle and the difficulty of continuing to advance may be extremely high on the way close, but as long as we can cross that boundary, everything will be bright and clear. We may even find a ship that has not shown any signs of corrosion."
"Yes, this would be great for research purposes, but it would be terrible for combat purposes. However, it is up to you to decide..."
Before Zhenhai finished speaking, Yang Sikang immediately said:
"Let's move forward. This is a rare opportunity. Besides, we are acting alone now. If we don't do something, the status quo will not change."
At this point, Yang Sikang laughed again:
"But after all, we have fought each other several times. It is possible that the other party has predicted my decision and set up an ambush in advance, so the risk is definitely very high."
"Haha, now that we are on the battlefield, there is no reason to be afraid of getting hurt."
Zhenhai immediately carried out Yang Sikang's instructions, and Yang Sikang just watched calmly with a slightly gloomy look:
"Good man Richard took action at White Eagle, but was stopped. According to expectations, she should come back here, but there is no movement here yet."
"The battlefield is not limited to the area we expected, is that what you mean?"
Yang Sikang nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the location of Scapa Flow on the screen:
"If the purpose was just to separate us from the Royal Fleet and defeat us one by one, there should be a way to separate us more thoroughly. But she didn't do that. At least our side is intact. However, her attitude was very clear in the matter of Scapa Flow.
If you want to get closer, you will be blocked in a strange way, but if you want to leave, you can make some progress. Find the opponent's potential flaws, and then move in a direction farther away from Scapa Flow. There are strange enemies in front and behind, hiding..."
"You don't want to take risks yourself again, do you?"
Zhenhai looked at Yang Sikang helplessly, and the latter nodded frankly:
"I have this idea, but the timing is not right now, let's wait a little longer."
On the one hand, he deliberately placed the Scapa Flow landmark in the mirror-like sea, and on the other hand, he lured himself out of Scapa Flow by blocking and inducing others. Although this behavior seemed somewhat contradictory, Yang Sikang already had an idea in his mind.
What if Good Guy Richard’s goal is not simply to engage in violent confrontation, but to understand and even analyze them?
What if, say, good Richard wanted them to stay within a certain range?
Thinking of this, Yang Sikang entered several commands through the keyboard.
After a brief silence, Bai Ze quickly continued his previous work. Only Zhen Hai, who was beside Yang Sikang, noticed this small problem.
