Early morning in the Marmara Sea at the end of July 1992.
Ships come and go on the busy waterway. Occasionally the sirens sounded, it was a ship leaving the port to remind them to evade, or a greeting between the converging ships.
A rescue boat in the port of Istanbul stopped on the water and put down many small boats. The two helicopters hovered over the sea, but they couldn't help, and they returned soon.
The native media came slowly, but the European journalists based in Istanbul ran fast. Hearing the news, some people rented boats at high prices, and followed the rescue boat for a long time.
Before the rescue ship went to sea, the reporter interviewed many people familiar with the matter, and learned from the side what type of submarine was involved, how many people there were, and the current situation.
The news was disseminated by the media, and the freighter sailors on the route were also discussing with each other over the radio. They would inevitably hold up their telescopes to watch the incident. Someone prayed for the crew member who was in the accident, but most people just watched the excitement.
If the submarine does not have an accident, it will be regarded as a major event.
There were divers on the boat released by the rescue boat, and they found the distress beacon dropped by'Ildire'. The rescuers comforted the crew of 50 meters underwater on the radio, and at the same time asked the divers to go down and see what happened.
In order to ensure safety and ease of operation, divers wear hard-shell diving suits and stand in the cage to enter the water. They also dragged cables and carried high-power underwater searchlights to facilitate the understanding of the situation in the dark sea.
The reporters hope to see a thrilling rescue operation that counts against every second. However, the situation at the scene was calm, just looking at the situation on the water...
The seabirds flew, the waves were sparkling, and the sea breeze was refreshing. Today’s weather is really good, it’s a good time for vacation.
Istanbul is the largest city in native chickens, and there are no strong winds and waves in the Marmara Sea. The residents of the cruise ship learned that the submarine was in danger, and many people drove their own boats towards the sea area where the accident occurred.
If there is a reporter interviewing, the residents watching the lively will naturally not say that they are getting in the way, but will feel compassionate and express how much they look forward to the safe return of the underwater crew.
But the scene was too boring. Rescue is not about letting the diver plunge into the water. The preparatory work lasted all morning, so that reporters and good people all complained that the sun was a little bit sunny today and the reflections on the sea surface were too glaring.
Until noon, the first three divers finally went down. They picked different directions, ready to take a comprehensive look at what happened to'Ildire'? There is no ability to come up on their own.
As for the continuous abnormal noise and ballast tank damage reported by the crew, the judgment can only be made after the submarine is out of the water.
After finally waiting for the rescue boat to start putting the cage, the reporters and residents onlookers immediately grabbed their own'long guns and short cannons'. They not only hope that the rescue work will be smoother, but also hope that there will be some excitement, so as not to come in vain.
The distance is only fifty meters, and the hanging cage is not difficult to put down. 'Ildire' floated underwater and was fairly stable, and there was no further deterioration of damage.
At this moment, the perpetrator of the whole incident slept on the bottom of the sea and just woke up. He drove the Deep Sea Cruiser in the shallow water of more than 50 meters last night, but soon decided to venture deeper.
Although the Marmara Sea is small, it is quite deep. The'Wanderer' dashed into the seabed of hundreds of kilometers, exploring areas rarely touched by humans.
The eyes of the two octopuses of the "Randerer" shine like light bulbs, illuminating the dark and boundless world.
One hundred meters below the surface of the water, you can see animals and plants such as swimming fish. But over a hundred meters, sunlight cannot be projected, and the deep sea appears very deep and lonely.
No matter how bright the eyes of the'wanderer' are, they can cover a range of 100 meters at most, and sound waves are needed to detect farther.
When Zhou Qingfeng first entered the deep sea, he still had some thoughts about exploring the secrets, hoping to find some treasures. But the entire bottom of the sea is smooth, with no shipwrecks and no treasures. On the contrary, garbage made by humans can be seen everywhere on the seabed.
Last night, I tried a sledgehammer to tease the'Ildire', and tried the power of the 100-meter-long tentacles of the Deep Sea Cruiser and the destructive power of the mouthparts.
It turns out that, for a submarine, a slight hole in the shell is enough to make the crew members of the submarine have no resistance in case of natural disasters.
'Randerer' also has a terrible characteristic. Its surface is extremely soft, very close to the nature of sea water, and has good absorption and penetration of sound waves.
Passive sonar is basically unable to detect it, and the detection of active sonar will be greatly weakened. It's like being invisible in the ocean.
Zhou Qingfeng fell asleep on the seabed at a depth of more than a thousand meters that night, and woke up the next day to hear a lot of movement on the surface of the sea. He knew what was going on right away, and was excited to make a big joke to the search and rescue personnel.
In the state of the statue, the'Deep Sea Cruiser' is only as big as a slap. In the state of the shuttle submersible, it is about three meters in diameter, fifteen meters in length, and can reach a speed of 100 knots per hour.
It can be restored to the super-giant octopus state, its speed is reduced to 30 knots, but it is ten meters in diameter and over a hundred meters in length. It is an out-and-out behemoth.
The'Wanderer' turned into an indescribable Cthulhu monster. Its thick tentacles were violently stirred in the sea, and the eyes of the huge octopus were filled with strange light, and it rushed towards the sea at high speed.
The poor three divers, wearing heavy equipment, slowly sank and approached the'Ildire'. They faintly saw the submarine, and felt that it was in a pretty good state-it had neither exploded nor sank, and it might have encountered some mechanical failures.
But this judgment ends here.
The diver reached more than 30 meters deep, and the underwater searchlight radiated strong light, and the Type 209 submarine, which was more than 50 meters long, could already be seen. The latter floated quietly in the sea, motionless.
However, the diver's attention was quickly drawn to another situation-there seemed to be bright light on the bottom of the sea. The light is still getting bigger and bigger, and it's fast approaching.
This inexplicable situation turned into a wired communication between the diver and the rescue ship, and the following dialogue with the rescue commander on the surface.
"The state of the'Ildire' is relatively stable, and no serious damage has been found."
"The surface current is also very stable, and the submarine is moving eastward at a speed of about two or three knots."
"Wait..., we found something strange. There seems to be something underwater? There is light."
"Oh... I can't believe my eyes."
"What the hell is this? What did I see?"
"Oh..., no! It rushes up, it's approaching us."
"Allah, get us up quickly."
"Damn, do something fast? We don't want to die!"
The words of the divers turned from calm to extreme horror, their roaring voices with an irresistible tremor. They are anxious, they are afraid, they are incoherent.
The people on the surface rescue boat felt baffled.
Everything came too fast.
The sea next to the rescue ship suddenly surged violently, like an erupting submarine volcano. The reporters and residents who watched the excitement around were excited about it, and all kinds of shots were aimed at the turbulent sea.
Everyone was full of speculation, and the most daring thing was just feeling that the submarine got out of the trap and came up from the water.
But reality is always beyond imagination!
When everyone looked at the sea inexplicably, dozens of terrifying thick tentacles stretched out from the surging waves. It is more than one meter in diameter and protrudes high into the sea and into the air.
The pale tentacles curled, entangled, and twitched in the air, like an unknown object from another time and space, like a human nightmare from a science fiction movie. It only swung lightly and drove the raging waves and entangled the rescue ship of more than 1,000 tons.
Wow... Everyone screamed with fright, as if the end was coming. The endless madness mixed in this scream is the fear from the heart.
The sea is boiling! Human beings are going to boil! The world will be boiling!
The legendary sea monster descends.
