The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 421 - 247: Caught the submarine’s tail propeller? No, this is nuclear... (Please subscribe)
"Captain Han."
Everyone was already well-acquainted, so there was no need for pleasantries.
They were neither meeting nor getting to know each other for the first time.
After a brief exchange of greetings, they got straight to the point.
"I never expected that you would surprise us again by catching a submarine."
Captain Han sighed, amazed; such feats seemed to happen only to Fang Hao—only he had the capability.
It was unheard of before.
So upon hearing about it, his first thought was indeed that Fang Hao was behind it.
And upon arriving here, hey, it turned out to be true.
Catching a submarine, that’s no ordinary feat.
Never had Captain Han imagined that someone could actually catch a submarine.
Even though this submarine sank due to an accident...
The difficulty of catching one was extraordinarily high.
Much higher than that of sunken ships.
But... Fang Hao had still managed to catch it.
It’s hard to describe such luck.
Every time, he catches something unusual, each time refreshing our understanding.
This time was no different.
Even for someone as experienced as Captain Han, witnessing such an event was still shocking.
It was truly astonishing.
"This might just be having a bit of extra luck."
It was more than just a bit.
Captain Han didn’t know what to say, every meeting with this man shattered his conceptions.
Then, Captain Han also got down to business, the submarine had to be dealt with, its model and origin needed to be confirmed.
With the help of the submersible, Captain Han observed the full view of the submarine, confirming that it was not one of their own, but belonged to Cherry Blossom.
This was consistent with the prior information.
Having identified the origin and model of the submarine, the next consideration was whether to salvage it.
Not everything needs to be salvaged, and the decision is based on value.
Salvaging something worthless is just a waste of money.
This submarine wasn’t theirs, and being decades old, had almost no salvage value.
Even if there were secrets inside the submarine, they remained unknown, buried in the depths of the ocean.
It might be better to just leave it lying there.
It saves money and trouble.
The final orders, however, had to come from higher up.
After reporting the situation, Captain Han and his team awaited further instructions.
Meanwhile, the fishing competition was temporarily halted because of the submarine.
How could they continue?
They had to pause it for now and maybe make up for it later.
With all this commotion, continuing to fish was impossible.
The fish had all fled.
The seabed photos transmitted from the submersible showed that there were far fewer fish than before, many had been scared away.
They wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.
If they decided to salvage the submarine, the disturbance would only increase, making continued fishing here impossible; they would have to find a new spot.
After a long wait, Captain Han finally received the message from above.
The submarine needed to be salvaged.
However, the various costs of the salvage would be covered by Cherry Blossom, who would take care of the expenses.
We would handle the actual salvaging.
This way, we could save some money and possibly uncover the secrets inside the submarine, not a bad deal.
Cherry Blossom had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
Their counterparts did not agree to cooperate with them on the salvage, only stating that Cherry Blossom would handle the expenses, the rest would be managed by our side alone.
And Cherry Blossom couldn’t just ignore this issue; they had to grit their teeth and bear the costs.
So, without any alternative, they had to front the money.
Having Cherry Blossom fund the operation was a win-win situation.
The salvage ship set out.
…
Seeing that the submarine Fang Hao caught belonged to Cherry Blossom, Qiao Mei’s expression grew complex.
There was a sense of indescribable meaning in her gaze.
She witnessed how Fang Hao caught the submarine up close, the impact of that scene was incredibly strong.
This was something that could not be conveyed through live broadcasts.
What one sees on screen is always somewhat lacking.
Only those who experience it firsthand can understand the depth of the impact.
It was incredibly powerful.
Qiao Mei’s emotions began to become conflicted.
For the first time, she harbored a strange thought.
…
The incident of Fang Hao catching the submarine hit the trending searches again.
It dominated the list.
As netizens learned of this news, their jaws dropped in disbelief.
"Submarine?"
"He caught a submarine?"
"Wow…"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
"What kind of submarine did he catch?"
"A nuclear submarine like Ohio?" Some netizens expressed hope that Fang Hao would catch a submarine of this level, as that would be quite something.
But such thoughts remained just that.
Catching a nuclear submarine isn’t so easy.
Not to mention whether there are nuclear submarines in these ocean depths, even if there are, they aren’t just up for the catching.
High-level nuclear submarines usually operate in the deep sea, not just anywhere.
This was a common point of view.
As comments from the internet users multiplied, the topic naturally gained traction.
All kinds of thoughts emerged.
"Forget Ohio."
"If we could have the North Wind God level, that would be awesome."
