Song Jinning felt the same way. She couldn't help but wipe her face with the back of her hand to wipe away the tears that had quietly fallen.
When everyone heard Gu Xiangwen's last words in this world, they were all sad and speechless.
This feeling of burning internal organs and being so angry that they were speechless could only be felt by people of the same culture and race.
Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar had already disappeared, and the chandelier floor lamp in the submarine cabin gradually dimmed.
The computer screen immediately went dark.
But soon, the LCD light in the sunken light hole on the ceiling of the cabin lit up again.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the small black cylinder on the desk.
This was the "music box" that Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar had mentioned, right?
It looked about the same size, and the most important thing was that there was only one thing on the desk.
Huo Shaoheng was the first to look away. He lowered his head and quickly gave the little robot instructions. He instructed it to fly over the eight large screens and see the scene behind the screens.
Behind the screens was a bed.
There were two people lying side by side inside.
A man and a woman. The man was wearing the khaki trench coat that they had just seen. His thick hair was neatly combed. His eyes were closed, and his tall nose was particularly obvious.
His chin was square, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
It was Gu Xiangwen.
Next to him was a fair-skinned, gentle, and beautiful young woman. She should be his wife, Gu Nianzhi's mother.
Huo Shaoheng only took a glance and immediately stood up. He gave a very standard military salute to Gu Xiangwen and his wife's bodies on the screen.
Other than Song Jinning, the people in the monitoring room were all active duty soldiers, including the experts in the final assembly.
Like Huo Shaoheng, they stood up at the same time and saluted the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife on the computer screen.
Song Jinning bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle in the direction of the computer screen.
After three minutes of silence, Huo Shaoheng put down his hand and gritted his teeth. He said in a low voice, "Let's start the salvage!"
Everyone immediately took their positions and quickly adjusted the monitoring equipment to its best condition. They threw themselves into the intense work.
Zhao Liangze rushed to the deck outside the door and worked with the staff operating the mechanical arm to retrieve his little robot.
The long slender rope was made of the toughest material. Although it was thin, its strength and tenacity were top-notch.
Not long after, his little robot returned to his hand.
The mechanical arm sealed the last gap, and the five steel fingers firmly grasped the body of the submarine. Once the joystick exerted its maximum horsepower, the salvage could begin.
Sixteen hours later, the sky outside was already bright.
The bright red sun leaped up from the surface of the sea, sprinkling down a thousand rays of light.
Not far away, white gulls were flying above the deep blue sea. They were draped in red and gold, like butterflies flying up and down among the flowers.
The sunrise over the sea was always so magnificent.
But at this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scene.
In order to salvage the submarine as soon as possible, everyone worked hard.
Huo Shaoheng's expression was dark. He connected his laptop to the Nandou Satellite Communication System and adjusted the frequency of multiple satellites to monitor the area.
He had only used one satellite previously, but it seemed like it was still not enough.
If they hadn't heard Gu Xiangwen's last words, they wouldn't have known that Japan had built a secret military base here!
Now that he even had the coordinates, it was only natural for him to take a good look.
..
In the next 24 hours, the entire fleet and the research ship were working on one thing, which was to salvage the cement submarine.
Because they had underestimated the weight of the submarine, they had experienced all kinds of difficulties and dangers. The moment the submarine loosened from the seabed, the seawater surged violently and set off huge waves.
The research ship was tossing and turning in the face of the wind and waves. Several experts vomited until their hearts ached, but no one was willing to stop.
"Stabilize, 30 degrees to the left, and the No. 1 steel spike is tight."
"Speed up! Use the upward thrust of this wave to save some horsepower. "
However, the submarine had only risen a little when it was shaken by the huge waves.
The mechanical joystick made a loud crackling sound, and it sounded like it was about to disintegrate in the next second.
Fortunately, these operators had rich experience. They focused and continued to strengthen and increase the horsepower. They found a balance point in the waves and steadily pulled the submarine out of the water step by step!
They didn't sleep or rest. The group of people worked hard for two days and one night, and finally, the cement submarine that had been at the bottom of the sea for seven years saw the light of day again!
The unpredictable weather on the Atlantic Ocean didn't hinder them. Otherwise, if the heavy rain and hurricanes washed away their salvage work, who knew how much more effort they would have to put in!
The moment the submarine covered in seaweed, shellfish, and sand emerged from the water, a rainbow really appeared in the distance between the sea and the sky.
With a whoosh, the entire research ship propped up a huge curtain, blocking this area of the sea and blocking the spying of other countries' satellites.
When the submarine went out to sea, they could clearly see the huge scar on the surface of the submarine from the surveillance cameras.
It could be seen that the people inside the submarine had quickly taken measures to seal the entire cabin. However, the submarine was unable to operate normally after suffering such a heavy blow from the torpedo.
Under normal circumstances, a submarine that suffered such a blow would float to the surface.
However, Gu Xiangwen chose to perish together with the enemy.
..
The submarine was finally salvaged.
Its weight wasn't something that an ordinary ship could withstand, but Huo Shaoheng and the others were well-prepared.
However, Huo Shaoheng and the others were fully prepared. This research ship, which was even larger than the largest foreign research ship, played its role at this time.
When the submarine was placed on the deck that the research ship had prepared beforehand, the entire ship sank from the pressure.
The waterline had obviously dropped a lot.
However, it didn't affect the normal operation of the research ship.
The experts in the monitoring room swarmed out and went to the deck to look at the submarine that they had spent a lot of effort to salvage.
A few older experts even came over with white wine, poured it into a bowl, and sprinkled it around the submarine.
The leader of the expert group respectfully raised the white wine and said to the submarine, "Mr. Gu, sorry for disturbing you today. We'll take you home now."
"Your daughter is very good and healthy. She'll be very proud to have a father and mother like you."
They didn't know who Cereus was before, but after Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar personally said that his daughter's name was "Gu Nianzhi", many of them understood.
Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng's fiancée. Not only in the military, but even in the entire country, there probably weren't many people who didn't know about it.
After all, Huo Shaoheng's grand proposal in front of the tomb of the unknown warrior in Red Square, as well as the huge diamond ring, had already spread all over the Internet. Later, the television stations even broadcasted it over and over again. Those who didn't know about it could be said to be very ignorant.
While everyone was surrounding the cement submarine and worshipping it, Huo Shaoheng had already been working alone in the radar room of the research ship for ten hours.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the screen of the active phased array radar in front of him was densely marked by him.
"All of you! Pull the anchor and set sail! "
He asked Zhao Liangze to issue orders to the entire fleet through the captain's room's pager.
It wasn't just the research ship, but also the nuclear submarine that they had brought with them as their trump card, as well as the cruisers, destroyers, and anti-submarine patrol ships that had been following them to perform lookouts and security functions had all received orders.
This was a military order. Once the military order was issued, everyone could only carry it out immediately.
Therefore, the entire fleet quickly prepared to set sail and return the way they had come.
At the same time, the experts quickly cleaned the cement submarine that had been salvaged with high-pressure water jets.
Then, the deck of the research ship rumbled. The deck that Gu Xiangwen's cement submarine was placed on broke off from the surrounding decks with a thud and slowly descended, as if a huge "hole" had appeared on the deck.
When the entire cement submarine had completely descended below the deck level, the deck above its head slowly closed again, covering the entire "hole" like a lid.
It turned out that there was a huge compartment space below the deck, which was specially prepared to store the submarine.
The submarine was hidden in the hull of the research ship. No matter how powerful those spy satellites were, they wouldn't be able to shine through the deck that had been covered with lead plates to see the situation inside.
Zhao Liangze directed the "closing" of the deck outside.
After completely hiding the submarine, he gestured for someone to remove the "curtains" on the research ship.
Of course, these "curtains" couldn't be used on the return journey. Otherwise, how would they sail the ship?
After the "curtains" were removed, the deck was empty, as if the dark submarine just now was just an illusion.
Zhao Liangze was satisfied with all the videos of the operation here. He then went to report to Huo Shaoheng in the radar room.
"Report! The targets outside have been cleared! "
Huo Shaoheng didn't even raise his head. He only waved his hand. "Thank you for your hard work. Order all the fleets to advance at full speed now. I want to return three days earlier than planned. "
After a pause, Huo Shaoheng said in a hoarse voice, "… Inform Nianzhi to wait for us at the southern military port."
She was actually waiting to welcome her parents ashore.
Ever since Bai Shuang's death, Zhao Liangze had thought that his emotions had become numb. This was the first time since then that he felt his heart twist into a ball. It was so painful that he could barely breathe.
"… Yes, Chief." Zhao Liangze accepted the order and asked, "Should I tell her in advance?"
"Not yet." Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes. "She … doesn't have to suffer for too long."
Even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least 12 days for them to return.
If he told her now, she didn't know what kind of suffering she would have to endure for the next 12 days.
Huo Shaoheng rejected the idea without hesitation.
Zhao Liangze also understood and quickly said, "I understand. I'll go inform her now."
Zhao Liangze returned to his cabin and couldn't help squatting behind the door to wipe his tears for a while.
After he had calmed down, he drank some water and called Gu Nianzhi.
On the phone, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Nianzhi, my mission is complete. We'll be back soon. Do you want to come to the military port to pick up Brother Ze? Of course, there's also Huo Shao … and Ms. Song … "
On the phone, Gu Nianzhi's voice was light and soft. "Brother Ze?! You can come back now?! That's great! I'll pick you up at the military port! I'll go right away! When will you arrive? I have to pack my luggage in advance! "
