1769 A time of crisis brought about by accident
"The distance is 500, the British warships avoid it! We won!" The information soldiers on the Yibin ship, with an excited trembling voice, made the generals of the command center hundreds of miles away breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before they could relax, things had a turn, and their hearts were even higher than before.
"Oh my God, what are the British doing? The steering amplitude is so small that they can't avoid it!" The correspondent soldier on the Yibin ship exclaimed.
He was completely unaware of what his devoted instant messaging and commentary would make the big men waiting for the news think.
"Quickly ask what happened!" A general immediately ordered the communications officer.
At this time, such a situation is a fatal matter.
On the Duke-class frigate, the moment the captain issued an order to avoid the evasion, everyone's heart was finally able to be put back. Only the Chinese warships would not turn in the opposite direction with them. This distance could be completely avoided.
The two warships move opposite and turn in opposite directions and will collide together. Only when they turn in the same direction will they gradually move away.
After all, it is relatively driving. British warships are turning toward the left direction away from the Chinese battleship. Chinese warships should also turn to the left so that they can stay away. If they turn to the right, this will cause the opposite steering situation, and the steering direction of the warships is consistent.
"The left car goes into one, the right car goes into three, the left rudder is full! What are you fucking?" The captain issued an evasion order, but the helmsman did not proceed as required.
The huge rudder did not rotate to a full rudder position of 90°, and the warship's steering was not enough at all.
The distance is still rapidly shortening. With such a short distance, only when the power of the propeller on the left decreases, the rotation speed of the propeller on the right accelerates, and the power is increased, and the steering can be quickly completed when the left rudder is full.
Logically, when the captain gives you an order, the helmsman will repeat the captain's order while operating. After all, a huge warship is not a car, and all systems are huge and it takes a relatively long time to react.
The helmman did not answer. When the captain gave the order to avoid it, all his strength was used to the rotating rudder. However, excessive tension made him weak all over. When he turned the rudder, he used too much force. Before he could turn much, he pressed on the rudder. When the warship was just turning to the left, his body weight pressed the rudder to rotate to the right.
"Come on, keep the rudder!" Seeing the helmsman's situation, the captain didn't bother to observe the situation of the huge battleship opposite. He pulled the powerless helmsman to the side, quickly held the rudder, and moved to the left.
On the Yongxing Island, everyone saw the British frigate, which was only 400 meters away, swing slightly to the left, and then suddenly turned to the right.
Even Liu Yijiu was frightened by the movement trajectory of British warships.
He was just about to issue an order to ask the battleship to also have the left rudder and also have to accelerate. Only in this way can he avoid it.
According to the steering of the British warships not far away, their battleships were full of rudders. Isn't this an accelerated impact?
"Slow down! Slow down!" Director Liu could no longer calm down. Several intern captains next to him were roaring almost in unison. Even one of the intern captains directly pushed the huge power system control rod to the lowest level, although the power system had been reduced to the lowest level long ago.
Liu Yijiu had no experience in commanding the warships. Before, he was just trying to compete with the other party for courage. Whoever has the courage and the better psychological quality will be able to win the final victory.
The situation in front of me is obviously completely different from what I thought before.
He shut up decisively and did not give orders randomly. Even Ai Guoxiu's legs were weak at this time, and he watched the not-so-huge warship on the opposite side swaying randomly as if it had lost control.
"What are these British people doing?" The major general on the Yibin ship was also confused by the scene that appeared.
The British obviously made an operational mistake.
This is the most experienced Royal Navy of the Shanghai Army in the world. How could such an operational error occur?
The major general held up the high-power telescope in his hand, gritted his teeth tightly, and did not dare to breathe.
He was worried that the battleship that was tested was hit and overhaul could not be completed in a short time, especially since there is no such large repair dock. The anti-submarine sonar and radar systems on the bow of the ship were all underwater and needed to enter the dry dock to repair it...
"Look at the British warship steering, stabilize the rudder, and prepare to increase power output!" Ai Guoxiu reacted. Although he was not a naval commander, there were still many things he should understand in theory.
In the missile battleship, the rudder and propulsion system control poles have been controlled by several intern captains.
They stood against the British frigate that was getting closer and closer, and except for stabilizing the course of the warships, they did not move at all. Everyone, the sweat beads on their foreheads were like rain.
They were nervously waiting for the order, the officers who observed the direction of the other warships, kept reporting on the situation of the British frigate.
At this moment, the tension was far more intense than before.
Just now, both sides were betting on courage, persisting for the sake of the dignity of the country and for the sake of the country's face, challenging everyone's nervous nerves.
And now, it is obviously not the case.
The previous confrontation between the two sides has already decided the outcome.
The matter did not end because the winner was decided, but instead made the whole situation even more tense - the well-trained and most elite Royal Navy, the warships were out of control!
Two huge steel giant ships are getting closer and closer at a distance of less than 400 meters, and the chances of colliding together are getting greater and greater!
When they collided together, no one knew the consequences.
The British warships may be silent.
China, a warship that has not made any contribution to the Republic's Navy, may also withdraw from the stage of history.
No one can tolerate such a situation.
Sweat on Liu Yijiu's forehead also emerged. Here, he could only rely on the British Navy's instructions and experience in dealing with the crisis and waiting.
This is an accident, an accident that no one expected.
The quality of the British Navy itself should not have such a situation.
Liu Yijiu couldn't even blame himself.
"Stable the rudder, the left rudder is full, the right rudder enters the fourth!" The captain of the Duke-class frigate did not care about blaming the previous helmsman at this time. He could only judge based on his own experience. He was even praying that after they controlled the posture of the warship, the Chinese Navy would accelerate the rudder in another direction.
"The left car goes into one, the right car goes into four!" Captain Mosen calmly operated the battleship's power system and repeated the captain's orders.
When the left power system is reduced to a minimum, the right power system is output at maximum power, so that the warship's hull to the right gradually returns to its original course.
The captain had already pulled the rudder to the left full rudder position.
"Full the left!"
Now, they have done everything they can do.
The Duke-class frigate, which was 133 meters long and full of 4,200 tons, seemed to be about to overturn the warships under crazy steering. The maximum power of the power system allowed the propeller to run quickly, and the distance between the two warships was still close.
"The power is 80%, two cars enter four!" Ai Guoxiu saw the other party's warship swaying, and suddenly turned to their right. Before several intern captains could react, he issued an order.
The power he said is 80% not the power of one reactor, but two reactors!
The intern captains did not question and did as he ordered.
No one knows this huge warship better than Ai Guoxiu. They don't even think about whether the nuclear reactor will have too much impact when the power is too high.
It's too late to reverse.
Both warships began to deviate in their courses, but the distance was too close, and after accelerating, the distance of the warships was shorter faster.
The radar on the Yibin ship shows that the points represented by the two warships have overlapped.
The information soldier has stopped reporting the situation.
In the headquarters, everyone's hearts trembled. The 4,200-ton warship collided with the 50,000-ton warship. The scene began to appear in everyone's minds.
Everyone on the Yibin ship was also very proud and dared not come out.
The major general and the captain were holding telescopes in their hands.
In their telescope, the waves in front of the huge battleship that was facing them became larger and larger, which proved that the battleship was accelerating and had even seen the battleship turn, but the heavy battleships turned very slowly.
The stern of the British frigate was surging violently, and the battleship had already reached an angle of 30° with its original course. At this time, the battleship only showed an angle of about fifteen degrees with its original course.
The distance between the two sides is less than 100 meters.
"Distance 100, anti-collision preparation!" At this time, the warships on both sides only had this sound.
Almost everyone in the warships on both sides now has one common idea, that is, the speed of the warship is faster and the turn movements are faster.
Only by turning faster and at such a distance can we avoid impacting together.
Otherwise, when turning, the tails of the warship will eventually collide together, which will be more serious than the bow of the warship, which will completely lose the power system of the warship.
Chapter completed!
