Chapter 238 I'll dismantle all your aircraft carriers!
The bridge of the USS Freedom aircraft carrier.
Admiral Jackson's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the Xuanwu warship stretching across the sea on the screen, veins throbbing in his temples.
It rammed and sank a 10,000-ton cruiser without sustaining any damage itself.
Now, it acts like a gatekeeper, blocking all rescue routes.
In the icy seawater, the cries of hundreds of British soldiers seemed to pierce through the screen, turning into an invisible slap that struck his face hard.
But he dared not let any ships take another step forward.
Another ship sank?
He, as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, will become the biggest laughing stock in the history of the world's navies!
shame!
An unprecedented and utterly humiliating disgrace!
"General..." an aide began cautiously.
"Shut up!"
Jackson roared and turned sharply towards the fire control officer, his voice hoarse and distorted.
"Lock onto it with your fire control radar! Lock onto that damn Type 055!"
Fire control radar illumination!
This is the final warning before the outbreak of war!
"General! This could cause the situation to spiral out of control!" The staff officer's face turned ashen.
"I'm going to lose control!" Jackson slammed the coffee cup off the table, shards flying everywhere. "They dared to humiliate the great Eagle Nation Navy; they'll pay the price!"
"Beep! Beep! Beep—"
The piercing alarm instantly resounded across the bridge of the Xuanwu warship.
"Report! Locked on by enemy fire control radar!"
The commander's eyes turned cold, but a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was as steady as a mountain.
"Activate electronic countermeasures! All combat units, prepare! I want to see if he dares to press that button!"
Above the sea, invisible electromagnetic waves intertwined wildly, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was so strong that it was almost ignited.
However, beneath this precipitous sea of death, in the darkness a thousand meters below, a true storm is brewing.
A six-meter-tall steel giant is striding silently across the seabed.
The Pangu Mech!
Inside the cockpit was Lin Mo!
He just returned from Terra. The expeditionary force had a smooth journey and would arrive at their fiefdom tomorrow.
Because of the ongoing military exercises, he didn't stay long and returned to Earth by sleeping.
Upon learning that the military exercise had begun, he immediately piloted the Pangu and rushed over without stopping.
It was first secretly transported by the "Kunpeng" large transport aircraft to a forward base in the Southern Hemisphere, and then airlifted by two helicopters to the sea behind the Great Xia Fleet.
To achieve ultimate concealment and avoid being detected by sonar, he did not activate the temporary turbine thrusters on his back that would generate noise. Instead, he chose the most primitive and concealed method—running on the seabed with his legs!
The mecha wields a 3.5-meter-long Zhengjin battle sword, and the deep blue seabed landscape is clearly visible on the holographic screen.
[Pangu AI: Pilot, please note, we have entered the core defense perimeter of the US-led Allied Fleet. A sonar buoy array has been detected in the waters above.]
[Pangu AI: Planning the best avoidance route... Route generated.]
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately controlled the mecha, using the shadow of a seabed rift to perfectly avoid the surveillance overhead.
[Pangu AI: The nearest target, the aircraft carrier 'Queen Elizabeth,' is one kilometer away vertically. Thrusters can be activated for a rapid ascent and assault.]
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived.
As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," but he's better off running across the sea—can you believe it!
If it weren't for my exceptional physical condition, I would have collapsed from exhaustion after those few hours.
"Activate the thrusters!"
"Buzz—"
The thrusters on the back of the Pangu mech were activated by nuclear power.
The powerful turbines churned up the icy seawater, creating two huge undercurrents that propelled the mech vertically upwards like a cannonball!
The sonar room of the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
A voice actor abruptly ripped off his headphones and screamed, his face turning deathly pale.
"Warning! Unidentified high-noise target detected directly beneath the ship! Rising rapidly at an extremely high speed!"
"Damn it, is it a torpedo? How could it be?" The captain made the immediate judgment and shouted into the microphone.
"Emergency evasive action! Full rudder turn! Order the anti-torpedo system to intercept!"
He simply couldn't believe how the torpedo had gotten there, but the facts were right in front of him, and there was no time to think about it anymore.
"Too late, sir! Too close! We can't intercept them!"
"Prepare for the impact!" The captain gripped the control panel tightly, his muscles tense.
Inside the bridge, everyone closed their eyes, waiting for the violent explosion that would tear the ship apart.
one second.
three seconds.
ten seconds.
The anticipated explosion did not occur.
The entire aircraft carrier was deathly silent.
"What's going on? A dud?" An officer opened his eyes in confusion.
"No! The sonar signal hasn't disappeared! It...it seems to be stuck to the bottom of our ship!"
While they were still wondering and wondering, Lin Mo, who was already hovering steadily at the bottom of the aircraft carrier, was admiring the behemoth in front of him.
He instinctively wanted to launch a shell attack, but with such a huge aircraft carrier, the mechs could only carry a limited number of shells, and at most they could only sink this one.
This military exercise involved six aircraft carriers from the United States!
How can hitting just one ship be enough?
Suddenly, a wicked idea popped into his head.
It could turn this once invincible fleet into a pile of scrap metal floating on the sea!
In his eyes, that massive rudder blade, as large as a small building, was the perfect target.
Lin Mo chuckled and controlled the Pangu mecha to raise Zheng Jin's longsword with both hands.
"Buzz!"
The long sword slashed down, leaving a faint streak of light in the deep sea, and fiercely struck the heavy rudder blade!
"—Clang!!!"
A sickening metallic cutting sound traveled through the mecha's frame into the cockpit.
The blade forged by Zheng Jin, powered by nuclear energy, unleashed unparalleled destructive power, like a hot knife through butter, instantly splitting the hard special steel rudder blade in two!
The massive rudder detached from the hull, tumbled in the water, and slowly sank into the endless darkness.
"Step one, complete."
Lin Mo turned his mecha around and locked his gaze on the two giant propellers that were spinning at high speed not far away.
The undercurrents stirred up by that thing made even the six-meter-tall Pangu mech somewhat unstable.
A direct strike would be too risky.
He maneuvered the mech backward, then raised his right arm.
With a "click," the arm armor slid open, revealing the dark muzzle of a cannon.
[Pangu AI: Hand cannon activated, two cubic nitrogen shells aimed at the optimal detonation position!]
"Goodbye, power system!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Two muffled thuds exploded in the deep sea.
Two specially made "cubic nitrogen" shells accurately hit the root shafts of the two propellers!
Upon impact, the massive propeller blades instantly twisted and disintegrated, the fragments being flung outwards by centrifugal force, leaving countless gruesome scars on the hull!
The Queen Elizabeth's hull suddenly shuddered!
Inside the bridge, the piercing alarm blared wildly once again!
"Report! The ship is shaking violently! Flooding is occurring in section C!"
"Report! Loss of rudder control! The aircraft carrier cannot turn!"
"God! Engine room report! Both propellers have lost power!"
"We...we can't move!!"
A chaotic cacophony of panicked reports filled the air.
The captain stood there, stunned, his mind blank.
Were we attacked?
But what exactly attacked them?!
A 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was paralyzed in just a few seconds?
