To monitor the actions of those people, Qin Feng's scanning ability and battlefield sixth sense worked in tandem, proving even more effective than detectors.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*
Qin Feng's expression turned grim as he maintained the sensitivity of his senses around the submarine. The moment those individuals made any move, he would be instantly aware.
No matter who they were, since they had come knocking, he would send them packing with a resounding blow.
As Qin Feng pondered, a peculiar gleam flashed in his eyes. He had no intention of passively enduring their attacks; his aim was to eliminate them directly.
Immediately, Qin Feng began to scan outward bit by bit. After all, he hadn't dealt with those guys yet, and the warship was still being led around by the nose, making its current situation extremely passive.
In battle, passivity was the greatest fear, so those individuals had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
In Qin Feng's mind, the scanning and sensing lines moved through the ocean as if on land, leaving no angle unexamined. Even all sources of danger on the seabed were detected.
The scanning and sensing lines continuously extended outward.
Five hundred meters, clear!
Eight hundred meters, clear!
One thousand meters, clear!
...
In an instant, the scanning coverage in Qin Feng's mind reached a radius of three thousand meters. However, those dense red dots were still concentrated two thousand meters behind their warship, at a depth of one thousand meters.
After a thorough scan, Qin Feng had basically confirmed that the source of danger in this sea area originated from that location, and all of them were concentrated around those red dots.
Since they had made the first move, he wouldn't hesitate to retaliate with double the force.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Qin Feng directly asked Squad Leader Wang beside him, "What is the typical detonation depth of our depth charges?"
*Shwoop!*
Squad Leader Wang, who had been anticipating Qin Feng to showcase his skills, frowned deeply at the sudden question. He didn't know the detonation depth of depth charges? Wasn't he here for support?
Squad Leader Wang looked at Qin Feng with confusion. Could this guy not know how to use depth charges?
What a joke, why would Captain Gao send someone who didn't even know the blast radius?
At this moment, Squad Leader Wang deeply doubted the young man before him, but he dared not question whether he lacked knowledge. After some peculiar thoughts flashed through his mind,
Squad Leader Wang finally replied truthfully, "The detonation depth of these charges is usually around three hundred meters. Such depth charges are typically used as underwater weapons to attack submarines, and they can intercept torpedoes..."
Listening to Squad Leader Wang's explanation, Qin Feng's brow furrowed.
These explosives could only reach a depth of about three hundred meters? At such a shallow depth, how could they possibly hit submarines at a thousand meters?
With such a significant distance, a direct bombardment would be no more effective than tickling the enemy submarine, utterly useless. However, waiting for them to reach a range where they could be targeted was unlikely, as the enemy would likely destroy their warship before the depth charges could even activate.
These seemingly powerful explosives only reached a depth of three hundred meters. How could they fight back? It was pointless.
After hearing Squad Leader Wang's words, Qin Feng immediately searched his mind for knowledge related to naval warfare.
Simultaneously, he asked Squad Leader Wang, "What weapons do we have on board that can reach a depth of one thousand meters? Our target is in that location, so we must eliminate them first to shift from a passive to an active role."
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Squad Leader Wang hesitated noticeably.
The enemy submarine was at a depth of one thousand meters; depth charges would indeed be useless at that range. But how did this young man know the enemy was at one thousand meters?
At this point, Squad Leader Wang began to feel a sense of confusion regarding Qin Feng. He didn't know how the other party obtained this information, but he could tell from his expression that he was not joking and was actually very serious.
Squad Leader Wang didn't overthink it and directly stated, "Only anti-submarine torpedoes can be somewhat effective at this depth, but..."
Before Squad Leader Wang could finish speaking, Qin Feng interrupted, "Then let's use the anti-submarine torpedoes. We must eliminate them first, otherwise, we will all be in danger."
Seeing Qin Feng's resolute demeanor, Squad Leader Wang was slightly taken aback.
Was this guy in such a hurry? He hadn't even finished speaking before a decision was made. Did he know how to use these things? Did he know how precious they were?
A warship only had two of them in total. Were these meant to be fired casually?
These were life-saving items that shouldn't be touched carelessly until the last moment. This was no game! Did he truly understand naval warfare? How could he utter such a hasty remark?
Squad Leader Wang's expression turned grim. He felt awkward directly answering Qin Feng's statement.
At this moment, a First Class Sergeant Major beside them interjected, "I have the anti-submarine torpedoes here, but we only have two. If there's no absolute certainty, do not fire them."
*Deng deng deng...*
Hearing the First Class Sergeant Major's words, Qin Feng walked directly up to him and said, "Squad Leader, I'll take over your position now."
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the First Class Sergeant Major's expression changed drastically.
What did he mean? He was going to take over his position? Did he think this was a market where he could come and go as he pleased?
Regardless of Qin Feng's identity, the First Class Sergeant Major directly retorted, "Brother, are you joking? This requires specialized personnel. Without training and assessment, how can you casually take this position? I'm telling you, this position is vital to the lives of everyone on this entire warship; it's not something just anyone can operate."
The First Class Sergeant Major spoke very seriously, but Qin Feng's response was even more serious: "I will take responsibility for whatever happens!"
With that, Qin Feng ignored him and walked directly to the control panel, starting to examine it.
Seeing the determined manner in which he approached, the Sergeant Major, for some reason, dared not resist.
He looked at Squad Leader Wang with a worried expression and asked, "Who is this guy? Why is he so direct in his actions?"
Squad Leader Wang did not reply immediately. He watched Qin Feng's swift and decisive actions, his brow already furrowed.
This guy was a bit impulsive, but he also exuded an irresistible aura. What was his identity? Why would Captain Gao allow him to come here directly?
If it were an ordinary person, Captain Gao would definitely not have done this. Yet, the questions he asked earlier suggested he didn't understand naval warfare. Did he understand it or not?
At this moment, Squad Leader Wang was in a difficult position. However, when he faced Qin Feng, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of pressure emanating from the other party, making it impossible to resist from the bottom of his heart.
Especially when he heard Qin Feng say he would take responsibility, it was a statement with the authority of a top leader. Now, he could only hope that Captain Gao's decision this time was the right one!
Finally, Squad Leader Wang gritted his teeth and said:
"Let him try for now!"
