The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 410 - 241 Submarine Accident and System Rewards (Subscribe Please)_2

The situation faced by the naval force served as a warning to Falcon, too—other nuclear submarines needed maintenance as well.

Otherwise, it was highly probable that some of the older Ohio-class submarines would encounter malfunctions.

It was necessary to completely resolve these issues and eliminate these hidden dangers.

Otherwise, by renovating the submarines, those problems could be eliminated as well.

It’s just that Falcon faced another embarrassing issue: lack of funds, or rather, no extra money to spend here.

Their strategic reach was just too vast, and thus their global strategy naturally entailed significant expenditure, with substantial investments in other areas as well.

The malfunction that occurred on board was by no means a small issue.

Everyone had an ominous premonition.

But no one wanted to break the silence, still clinging to the last hope.

Even if... that hope was minuscule, it was hope nonetheless.

They were still waiting for the submarine to send back signals.

...

Far from Falcon, in the vast ocean,

A nuclear submarine was torn apart by the immense underwater pressure, with torrents of sea water flooding its interior.

Numerous crewmembers were engulfed by the sea.

And for other compartments not flooded, the situation was grim.

Oxygen levels continued to drop, and people began to collapse from asphyxiation.

Before long, silence reigned inside the submarine.

Then it slowly sank to the ocean floor.

Just like that, it was lost.

An advanced nuclear submarine like that—due to internal equipment aging and malfunctions—triggered a cascade of issues.

Which ultimately led to an accident with the vessel.

The submarine’s last ditch effort to save itself was not successful, an almost impossible feat.

After the control panel in the pressure chamber malfunctioned, surfacing for self-rescue became difficult; moreover, self-rescue was not an option because the most catastrophic problem had already occurred—the submarine was ripped apart by the pressure.

And so, one of the most advanced nuclear submarines lay quietly at the bottom of the sea.

Unbeknownst to everyone.

...

Jinghai.

After finishing the salvage of the shipwreck, Fang Hao and his team returned to Jinghai.

At last, they could properly rest.

This voyage at sea left Fang Hao with mixed feelings.

Utterly dejected.

Whether it was hooking dead bodies or losing fish, it did little to lift his spirits.

Fortunately, he found some solace at the end when he discovered a shipwreck—a Great Ming treasure ship.

Inside this Great Ming treasure ship were copious antiques and treasures, and the vessel itself offered high research value to many scholars.

That made it worthwhile.

After returning to Jinghai, the work to establish the Great Ming Treasure Ship Museum would continue.

As a special consultant for the National Cultural Relics Bureau, Fang Hao was also invited.

Moreover, since he discovered the shipwreck, he had significant say in the matter.

So the establishment of the Great Ming Treasure Ship Museum was practically his decision.

However, to save trouble, Fang Hao did not take on this task but delegated it to others.

He certainly didn’t have that kind of free time.

Upon returning home, he finally began to inspect his Treasure Chest rewards.

This time at sea, he had earned two Black Gold Treasure Boxes.

He was somewhat excited about the rewards these treasure boxes might hold.

With two boxes, this time’s rewards should be substantial.

Back home in his room, Fang Hao opened the two Black Gold Treasure Boxes.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Fishing Rod and Line Reinforcement Agent.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Luck Value Card.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the AR-1 Micro Unmanned Submersible.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the One Breath Pill.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Muscle Building Pill.]

...

Soon, the rewards were all distributed one after another.

When Fang Hao saw these reward items, he was stunned for a moment.

First was the reward item, and it turned out to be a Fishing Rod and Line Reinforcement Agent.

This...

Considering he had just broken a fishing rod while fishing, and now the system was giving him this reward, was it mocking him? Fang Hao was absolutely dumbfounded.

The system knew how to console people.

But still, the reward was quite good. At least with this reinforcement agent, he would be able to avoid breaking a fishing rod in the future.

Even with an ordinary fishing rod, as long as he used this reinforcement agent, its strength and toughness would be greatly improved, and it wouldn’t break again.

This... could be considered a decent reward,

at least in the future when catching fish, he wouldn’t let them get away.

Fang Hao was still holding his breath.

When he caught fish in the future... he wanted to see if they could still escape.

Run, let me see you try to run then!

This reward seemed tailor-made for him.

Then there was the second reward, the Luck Value Card, which was an existing reward, nothing new.

The third reward was a miniature unmanned submarine. Huh, this was quite special and the first time such a high-tech product had appeared.

Didn’t that mean, if he didn’t want to go into the water in the future, he could use this miniature unmanned submarine to explore the seabed?

What surprised Fang Hao the most about this miniature submarine was its size, which was very small, probably only slightly larger than a mobile phone, made of special materials, and then there was its diving depth. It could go as deep as two thousand meters, and even at such depths, it could still receive signals.

That was quite frightening.

In the future, if he went to even deeper places, he could use it to explore the seabed situation.

Like... the Bermuda Triangle.

The submarine would be very useful there.

In our coastal waters, the uses for this submarine were not particularly great.

As for the fourth reward, the One Breath Pill, it was something to save one’s life.

As the name implied, with one breath still left, just a single breath, this elixir could save a life, pulling someone back from the brink of death.

That was definitely a great item.

A lifesaving thing.

A life, that was more important than anything.

So, one could imagine how precious this elixir was.

Moreover, the elixir rewarded by the system was also encased in a special Jade Bottle.

Finally, the last reward was the Muscle Building Pill, another elixir.

But this elixir could be taken now to increase strength.

Having received the pill, Fang Hao swallowed it.

After eating it, he initially didn’t feel much, but before long, the elixir dispersed within his body... a warm current surged.

Then, his body was suddenly filled with surging strength.

And Fang Hao’s strength had skyrocketed from the previous three thousand jin to ten thousand jin!

Ten thousand jin of strength.

This was something he had not even dared to dream of before, but now, it had been achieved.

Paired with his mental state of ’lifting as if it were light,’ Fang Hao didn’t feel uncomfortable with this sudden increase in power.

He wouldn’t have a repeat of the incident where he nearly demolished his house, turning instantly into a domestic destroyer.

Otherwise, with ten thousand jin of strength, if he didn’t control it well, even a simple handshake could crush someone’s bones.

Overall, this system reward was quite satisfactory.

Fang Hao was very content.

These rewards were all practical, and even if some were not immediately needed, they would be of great use in the future.

None of them was useless.

Fang Hao himself was quite satisfied.

These items were all pretty good.

He collected the remaining items and stored them in the System Space.

And at this moment, Fang Hao received another message from that Xiaoqiao girl.

"Hello, Mr. Fang... are you free this evening?"

Miss Xiaoqiao contacted Fang Hao again.

She simply had to reach out.

The longer Fang Hao’s affair was delayed, the higher the uncertainty.

They had to speed up the process and recruit Fang Hao as one of their own sooner.

Now, more and more powers, more and more people, were eyeing Fang Hao. If they didn’t speed up, someone else might snatch him away.
