    你要知道,潜舰是看不见东西的。我在深海,水太深是看不见的,所以,只能靠声纳。声纳其实是一个很玄的东西,特别是在海里面的时候,因为有变温层,有温度的关系,有海水的密度的关系。你只要盐分的密度不同,海水的温度不同,那个声纳折射出来的东西基本上跟跋桮准不了多少,比跋桮略准一点。

    • You have to understand, submarines are blind. When you enter the deep ocean, you can't see anything when the water is too deep and you must rely on sonar. Sonar is actually a very finicky thing, especially when used in the sea. This is because of the temperature change layer, which is connected to the temperature and oceanic water pressure. If the salt content density changes or if the ocean water temperature changes, the results of the sonar refraction will be essentially be little different from throwing poe, perhaps a tiny bit more useful than throwing poe.
