?Mobile reading The Hua Xia naval fleet deployed nine vessels in battle formation, with fighter aircraft providing aerial cover. Even if the enemy sends a carrier strike group, they won’t gain any advantage. The second-in-command, holding the telescope for a long time, expressed concern: “Captain, won’t Qin Colonel be in any trouble? I heard he’s the designated son-in-law of Mr. Wei Qingtian, and a senior officer in the Internal Security Organization. If anything happens to him, we’ll be in serious trouble!” The captain sighed: “Exactly. Before departure, I received an order from the Chief of the Navy, instructing me to ensure Qin Colonel’s safety—and specifically to follow his instructions. How could I possibly stop him from going down to the water?” The second-in-command shook his head with a wry smile: “But what exactly is he going down for? Does he really mean to just go down and have some fun?” “Do you believe that?” the captain asked. The second officer shook his head again: "Of course not. Here it's not a magnificent underwater world dotted with coral reefs—dark and murky, what could be enjoyable?" The captain nodded: "I don't believe it either, but what can we do? They say this Qin young officer is a real expert—shouldn't he be safe?" The second officer wanted to say that, judging from the way he had fallen into the water, he only had basic diving knowledge, far from being a true expert. He suggested: "Let's send out two small boats. Once Qin has surfaced, he won't be able to climb aboard the ship on his own!" "Agreed—let's dispatch them immediately!" Underwater, the young officer had now reached just below the waterline of the Sun Country's Aida-class warship. He attached a strong magnetic device to the ship's hull and grasped it with one hand, then instructed his flying sword to begin drilling. Modern warship plates are quite thin—just a few strokes would open a hole. With the sword advancing like a small cauldron, it then entered the ship's interior. Soon, he fully understood the ship's internal structure and identified its weak points. For a warship, the most vulnerable areas were the engine room, fuel tanks, and ammunition stores—any damage to any one of these could severely compromise the vessel's operational capacity. Additionally, the joints between the watertight compartments were critical; if these failed, the surging seawater would flood the entire compartment, accelerating the ship's sinking. Upholding his reputation as a honest and thorough young gentleman, Qin decided to target these very points, ensuring a comprehensive attack. He first placed several bombs in the ammunition store, then deployed time-delayed incendiary charges in the fuel tanks, followed by bombs at key locations on the engine room's two large diesel engines. Finally, he made his way through the watertight doors, passing the crew lounge and kitchen, where he decided to add a few more elements of damage. A few minutes later, he exited the ship through the small opening he had previously created. First to explode were the kitchen and the lounge areas—the explosions were not particularly intense, though the kitchen area suffered more damage with several pipeline ruptures. On the Hua Xia naval vessel, the second-in-command pointed toward the enemy ship and said, "Captain, look at how suddenly they've become tense—the bridge area is even smoking. I just heard an explosion a moment ago. Could it be their kitchen gas line blowing out?" The captain smiled and replied, "You're absolutely right to guess—do modern warships really use gas to cook for their crew?" Boom… This time, it was the engine compartment that exploded—the stern of the ship was lifted high into the air and then crashed back into the water, causing the hull to shake violently. "What on earth is going on?" the Sun Yue captain exclaimed, still trying to determine the cause of the previous explosion. Some had speculated a problem at the kitchen pipelines, and personnel had been dispatched to investigate—no feedback had yet been received—when suddenly, an explosion erupted at the aft section. "What are you waiting for? Go check it out!" Messages quickly came from the crew behind: two engines had exploded, with the number of casualties still unknown. Boom… This time it was the fuel storage facility—the flames surged skyward, thick smoke billowing out. Not only was a large hole blown in one side of the hull, but the ship’s structure also suffered severe damage. Qin Feng, his head emerging from the water, watched the burning warship with a cheerful smile and said, “This is still an accident. Once I’ve taken care of your two ships, you’ll treat this area as terrifying as the Bermuda Triangle. See how brave you’ll be when you come back!” Boom… boom… boom… The ammunition storage facility exploded—this was a chain reaction. The warship was split in two and began to sink steadily. Not only were Chinese personnel stunned, but even the crew members of other Japanese warships were at a loss—what had happened was so sudden that they couldn’t react at all. The captain of the Huaxia naval vessel gently tapped the first officer, who was equally stunned, and said, "Did I missee it? Has the enemy's warship actually exploded?" "Absolutely true—hurry and take a close look, because in just a few minutes, we won't be able to see it anymore," the first officer said, filming with his phone. "The explosion started from within, and it's getting stronger with each passing moment. There's clearly something wrong with their ship!" The captain nodded and asked, "Have our high-resolution cameras outside been turned on?" "They've been on since we first faced off against the first Sun Nation warship—they've never been turned off!" "But you're still filming with your phone? Even if you're a luxury gold-tier officer, can't your footage be any clearer than what the cameras capture?" "Ah, yes—whatever clarity I achieve is still the nation's, not mine. No matter how sharp my footage, it's still mine. The high-definition feeds will never make it onto the network. My slightly blurry version, on the other hand, will always pass the review process," the first officer chuckled. The captain was deeply impressed, his face darkening as he said, "Don't forget to send me a copy!" The explosion in the ammunition store left many crew members unaware of what had happened—already gone before they could react. The ship sank rapidly; within less than two minutes, only a tenth of its structure remained above water. It wasn't until then that other warships responded. Originally tasked with escorting the Chinese intruders, they now found themselves in a rescue role. The Chinese captain asked the first officer, "Shall we proceed?" "Of course," the captain replied without hesitation. "But the other side may not appreciate it—these guys are just wild wolves, never quite tame. We're helping them, and they'll likely see it as a burden rather than a benefit." The captain smiled, "Who says we're going to rescue them? We're going there to watch the show!" The second-in-command suddenly realized what was going on and was about to speak when Qin, the young officer, who had just boarded the ship, interjected, "Let's throw them a few curveballs—now they won't only have to recover the plane and the pilots; they'll also have to go to the trouble of retrieving a warship. They'll be busy for days!" The captain added, "Exactly. It's said that this most advanced destroyer is packed with cutting-edge technology. Even if they don't want to recover it, the U.S. authorities won't agree. By the way, Colonel Qin, when you were underwater, did you notice how their warship sank?"
