The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 407 - 240 Nuclear Submarine Accident (Subscription Request)
The salvage operation of the Great Ming Treasure Ship was nearing its conclusion.
This time, the conditions for the salvage were relatively simple, not as difficult as before, so the progress was also much faster.
The only challenge was towing the sunken ship back to Jinghai.
This had taken quite a bit of time and involved numerous plans.
The remaining task was to repair the sunken ship and then tow it back to port.
This would take some time, and it was not something that could be repaired quickly.
Fang Hao had no more role to play here temporarily.
This fishing trip out to sea hadn’t been fruitless; at least he discovered a Great Ming Treasure Ship, which was priceless.
Not only had he salvaged numerous antiques and treasures, but he had also provided significant value to archaeological research.
As for the previous Black Hawk Helicopter he fished up, well… let’s forget about that.
Even the thought of it made Fang Hao numb.
The helicopter was filled with corpses, which once again solidified his nickname "Corpse Fishing Immortal."
He had even advanced to being called the "Emperor of Corpse Fishing."
No more bodies were fished out after that.
Fang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The last thing he wanted to find now was more corpses.
Every time he fished up a corpse, he felt it was never a good sign.
Look at this time, he ran into a huge catch, which pained his heart immensely.
The fish that got away truly hurt him deep inside.
Fishing up a fish only for it to slip away was genuinely the most heart-wrenching feeling.
It was probably better not to catch any fish at all.
At least that way, one’s mood wouldn’t be so terrible.
On the way back, Fang Hao’s mood was not good, and he wasn’t happy about salvaging the Great Ming Treasure Ship.
Discovering and salvaging sunken ships wasn’t new to him.
On the contrary, actually catching fish was a rare occurrence.
The one that got away shattered Fang Hao’s heart, paining him so much he felt unable to breathe.
Even now, he hadn’t quite recovered.
However, while Fang Hao was still heartbroken about the fish that got away, netizens were still discussing the discovered Great Ming Treasure Ship.
"Reportedly, when Zheng He sailed to the Western Seas, his fleet contained tens of thousands of people, similar to today’s aircraft carrier fleets."
"There seem to be dozens of ships."
"Not just dozens, the information I saw mentioned there were between sixty to two hundred ships."
"Yes, absolutely more than just dozens of ships. You should know that Zheng He’s fleet during his voyages to the West had many types of ships, including treasure ships, warships, cannon ships, water ships, horse ships, and more. Just these types alone, no one knows exactly how many there were."
A fleet wasn’t just about transporting people; logistics were even more crucial.
A vast fleet like Zheng He’s had terrifying logistical needs.
It’s well-known that back then, the conditions for preserving supplies were much worse than now.
So, the requirements were definitely higher, and the difficulty in supplying was greater.
A group of netizens started researching this.
Mostly, everyone was interested in the history of the Ming period, especially during Zheng He’s voyages.
That era could almost be considered the pinnacle of our shipbuilding technology.
Mentioning that period certainly fills one with pride.
Since then, our shipbuilding technology has stagnated, and even regressed.
This is what truly pains the heart.
If these discoveries had continued, imagine how formidable we would be now.
Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."
We went through the darkest and most humiliating times.
Fortunately… all that is over now.
Now, we have risen once again.
"I’m now looking forward to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers; I wonder when we’ll be able to build one."
"Electromagnetic catapults are already a reality, I believe the nuclear propulsion project must have already started!"
"I can’t wait. Now just let the third aircraft carrier be launched, and then the others in succession."
"Yes, having seven or eight aircraft carriers would be great."
A group of people is eagerly anticipating the sight of seven to eight aircraft carriers, ready to see who would dare to speak lightly of us in future.
Everyone has high hopes for the future.
Our ships are launching like dumplings in a pot, with a stack of ships being launched each year.
We’ve truly entered into an era of rapid development.
The total displacement of the ships launched each year far surpasses the total displacement of all ships of most other countries.
Even the Eagles can only watch enviously as we launch new types of ships every year.
Although there is still a significant gap between us and the Eagles, we are fervently catching up.
The Eagles still remain unparalleled in naval power on Blue Star.
We are well aware of this.
However, the Eagles are gradually facing a new problem, that their ships are aging, some needing upgrades and replacements, which require a significant investment, and currently, the Eagles’ investment is clearly insufficient, and their rate of launching new ships is evidently slower than expected.
This is a problem they need to face.
In comparison, we don’t have this issue.
Because of our initial weaknesses, our current ships are all the latest models.
Thus, we don’t need to spend massive amounts on upgrades and modernizations; simply building new ones will do.
That has led to our current spectacular status.
Our rapid development also puts enormous pressure on the Eagles, making them feel a great sense of oppression.
