The water was gentle.
The water was the fountain of life.
But under the water's seemingly weak appearance, it contained a strength that was tougher than steel.
Humpback Whale crashed into a hundred-meter-high wave, and its body trembled under the powerful impact.
The bow and bottom of the ship bore most of the impact. The impact was so strong that it easily tore apart all the coatings on the bow and the sound absorption steel, revealing the innermost layer of high-density alloy armor.
The kinetic energy transmitted to the entire hull, and the industrial raw materials containers in the four huge sealed warehouses broke under the vibration.
At this moment, the inside of the hull shook violently, and the control system in the cockpit frantically sent out alarms.
Fortunately, the core power system of the Humpback Whale was not affected.
The Humpback Whale itself was a super-high-speed giant ship that skimmed the sea. When it sailed, unlike ordinary giant ships that were half-submerged in the sea, it was close to the sea, and most of the bottom of the ship was suspended in the air at high speed.
When it encountered large waves on the sea, it did not have to rely on the bulbous bow and V-shaped bottom to break through the waves like ordinary giant ships.
The Humpback Whale either skimmed over the top of the waves or crashed into the waves head-on.
So at the beginning of the design, the ship's impact resistance was fully considered.
The length of its hull was also far shorter than that of ordinary giant ships, so when it was in the air, it did not have to worry about the influence of gravity. Like ordinary giant ships, because the hull was too long, it would break into two pieces under its own gravity.
The Humpback Whale's speed suddenly decreased, and a hundred-meter-high wave was set off.
Then at this moment, the incoming missiles also arrived, and they crashed into the huge wave with the force of thunder.
The seemingly weak wave turned into an indestructible giant "mountain" at this moment.
The first Harpoon anti-ship missile, which accelerated to nearly Mach 1 at the end, was immediately like hitting a mountain the moment it came into contact with the huge wave.
The search radar cover at the front of the missile instantly broke, followed by the infrared, optical, and digital matching system. They were as weak as tofu in front of the huge wave, and quickly shattered into snowflake-like wreckage.
Then came the semi-armor-piercing warhead, the strongest part of the anti-ship missile.
Compared to the previous electronic locking system, the semi-armor-piercing warhead was undoubtedly much stronger. The moment it collided with the huge wave, it penetrated the body of the wave.
However, the powerful resistance brought by the giant waves quickly stripped away all the components of the anti-ship missile except for the semi-armor-piercing warhead. The remaining semi-armored combat unit, which was a few meters long, traveled less than five meters in the giant waves before it could no longer withstand the strong water pressure and completely exploded.
This explosion was comparable to the moment the Humpback Whale entered the water.
The several-hundred-meter-tall wave was forcibly split into two, and countless seawater and shockwaves spread out in all directions.
The shockwave penetrated the huge waves and hit the bow of the Humpback Whale.
At this moment, the high-density alloy steel at the front of the ship, which was originally neat, had a dent that was tens of meters wide and nearly one meter deep.
In other words, the bow of the ship had caved in by more than a meter, and there was even a long crack at the welding seam of the armor.
In less than 0.01 seconds, another anti-ship missile was detonated.
This anti-ship missile was located on the left side of the Humpback Whale. The shockwave after its explosion instantly collided with the shockwave generated by the first missile, causing an even more shocking sound. However, the two shockwaves canceled each other out, and the damage caused to the Humpback Whale was much more limited.
There were a total of eight anti-ship missiles, and these two were the only lucky ones that overlapped with the route of the Humpback Whale.
The remaining ones couldn't even touch the edge of the giant wave. They flew straight against the sea level, and under the action of inertia, they flew a few nautical miles before plunging into the sea.
