Chapter 250

When Ivan came to the lounge again, the computer was still playing silent movies. In the picture, the blue sea bottom is glimmering, and there are temple like buildings standing.

Arthur stone sat there naturally and relaxed, facing the screen, as if he were watching a movie. However, Ivan noticed that the focus of his eyes was not on the screen, but seemed to penetrate the computer monitor and fall far away, as if the submarine was transparent in front of him.

"Mr. stone, you'd better take a look in the command cabin," Ivan said.

Arthur stone looked back and asked, "what's the matter, Ivan?"

"The magnetic detection system is abnormal. Boris said there was a ship ahead, but our sonar detection showed that there was nothing ahead," Ivan said

Arthur Stone said with a smile, "really? This Boris is your good partner. It's really not easy! It's not easy to judge the shape of the abnormal magnetic field from several magnetic force lines and data changes on the display screen!"

"I think so too. Boris may be talking nonsense. I know him and like to boast!" Ivan said, "but we can't understand it. You'd better go up and have a look."

"Don't go up. I can see it here."

Arthur stone reached out and pressed the host switch of the second computer. He heard a sound and the computer screen lit up, but it was not Ivan's familiar windows interface or DOS interface. Ivan doesn't understand the computer program language, so he doesn't care about this, but the startup speed of this computer is too fast, just like turning on an electric light.

Stone crackled something on the keyboard. Ivan just felt that the gentleman was so natural and unrestrained in his desk work and typing.

A triangle appeared on the screen, and then several curves twisted and drilled out from one side of the screen. On the other side of the screen, there were lines of numbers and letters that could not be understood.

"It turns out that Mr. stone is connected with the equipment above, but why not open it earlier?"

Ivan recognized that the computer screen displayed the same picture as the magnetic detector above.

Arthur stone didn't speak. He focused on the screen, and then clattered on the keyboard to call up a small box. After entering a line of command, the letters, lines and numbers on the screen disappeared and replaced by a pure blue painting.

The picture is then covered with a grid and looks like a drawing paper. Several dashed lines are flashing and moving, just like someone drawing on a paper with a pencil. Before long, the dotted line surrounded the shape of a ship, and the structure of the hull can be seen very clearly.

Arthur Stone continued to operate the keyboard. The ship structure diagram on the screen was no longer dotted lines, but began to fill in color blocks. Like a jigsaw puzzle, he soon assembled a complete ship model.

"It's really a ship! That guy Boris... Has a fucking hand!" Ivan was shocked when he looked at the increasingly clear hull structure diagram composed of dotted lines on the screen.

As a veteran living at sea all year round, he is not only familiar with submarines, but also has fought and shouted with all kinds of ships after he retired from the army. However, the structure of the ship is somewhat strange. It looks neither like a cargo ship nor a passenger ship. He guessed in his mind what kind of ship it was. Suddenly he remembered that Boris said that he had sneaked into the Arctic scientific research ship in those two years. When he looked at the screen again, he felt that it must be a scientific research ship.

"Mr. stone, this..." Ivan couldn't help wondering what was going on, but he knew he shouldn't ask more, so he said, "I've ordered to stop moving forward. What should we do next?"

"You're right!" said Arthur stone. "Now mark the position of the ship shown by the magnetic test, float up to a depth of 300 feet, and use this as the center to narrow the search range to 150 nautical miles nearby. Oh, remember to turn on the gravity detector."

"Yes, sir."

"Wait a minute." stone turned and threw a box of cigars. "Give it to Boris and your guys."

When Ivan returned to the control module, Boris couldn't wait to ask, "Ivan, where's Mr. stone? Won't he come to see?"

Ivan said, "don't go up to see it. He can see it better below than us." then he punched Boris hard, "good boy, you guessed it. It's a boat!"

"Really?" Boris said excitedly. "I'll say it. I can't read it wrong."

Ivan took the cigar out to Boris: "Mr. stone gave it to you."

Boris opened the box, smelled it, closed his eyes with great enjoyment and took a deep breath: "ah, this is a good thing!"

Ivan reminded: "give it to the guys, but you can't enjoy it alone!"

"Of course! Float up in a minute and we can enjoy it together." Boris put away his cigar. "I said, man, what's going on? Why didn't the sonar detect it?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "how do I know? Mr. stone asked us to write down the coordinates, float up to a depth of 300 feet, search within 150 miles, and say we were going to turn on the gravity detector. Boris, you worked on a scientific research ship. Do you know what the gravity detector does?"

"Of course, it's used to measure the distribution of ocean gravity," Boris said

"Boris, can you be frank and don't look like you've been a doctor," said a man.

"Who looks like a doctor!" Boris said unhappily. "You won't understand what I say."

"Just say you can detect something."

"What can we detect?" Boris thought. "It's probably the terrain, islands and reefs, minerals and so on. Maybe we can find Godzilla's nest. Who the fuck knows!"

"Hey, guys, do you think Mr. stone is looking for any treasure? Such as a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea. It's said that this used to be an important waterway. French, Spanish and Dutch ships to South America have to pass here."

"Then have we become the pirate king?"

"What is the pirate king?"

"A Japanese cartoon, very famous."

"Japanese comics? Do you have a code?"

"Fuck you! You know what's in your crotch!"

……

"Hey, stop arguing and look at this!"

"What's the matter?"

"This thing is barking."

"What is it?"

"That's what you call a gravity detector."

"Boris, come and have a look. It's time to show your real ability."

Boris and Ivan walked over together.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for? I can't understand this!" Boris patted the shell of the machine.

"The magnetic detector also reacts." someone shouted again.

Boris went over angrily and looked at it, and his expression became strange.

"Hey, Boris, what's the matter? Isn't it another boat?"

Boris grabbed his hair. "No, no, no, this... I don't understand! I really don't understand!"

Ivan shook his head and said, "all right, stop guessing. I'll go to Mr. stone and have a look. You look at this position."

As soon as he was about to leave the control cabin, he saw Arthur stone's elegant figure appear at the cabin door.

"Take a look, Mr. stone. There seems to be something wrong," Ivan said.

"I see," said stone. "Now turn off these annoying systems, float up and charge up, and let everyone enjoy the fresh air."

"Yes, sir." Ivan faithfully carried out the order despite his doubts.

"Oh, by the way, Ivan," said stone suddenly. "Is our weapon system normal?"

"Everything is normal, sir," Ivan said. "We are equipped with 14 533mm torpedoes, including 8 in the tube and 6 in reserve."

Arthur stone nodded and said, "check it again. Maybe you can use it later!"
