The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 429 - 251: The Difficulty of Fishing for Submarines (Please Subscribe)

Might as well give it a try.

With Fang Hao’s special fishing ability, there might still be a chance.

Otherwise, searching for a nuclear submarine in the vast sea is extraordinarily difficult.

It’s practically an impossible task.

Fishing for a nuclear submarine in the sea is no different from trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention one in ten thousand, even one in a billion chances might not exist.

They have also searched this area of the sea nearby without finding any trace of the submarine.

It’s as if the tail propeller part was brought here by the ocean currents.

What exactly happened is still unclear to everyone.

The orders from above simply ask them to try and find more parts of the submarine, as that carries greater value.

An intact Ohio-class nuclear submarine would mean something entirely different.

If they could find the remaining parts, the benefits are undeniable, and it would greatly aid our development in submarine technology.

Our nuclear submarines were developed relatively late and lag behind others. Even though we are striving to catch up, it’s not a gap that can be closed in a short amount of time.

If we could get our hands on parts of a wrecked Ohio-class nuclear submarine for study and in-depth analysis, it would certainly cut a lot of time.

For example, technology that would otherwise take ten years to match might only take two or three.

This is also why the higher-ups are so eager for them to find the remaining submarine wreckage.

Fang Hao and Xiao Pang set off with Captain Han.

Their mission this time is to fish for the remaining parts of the nuclear submarine.

Xiao Pang was excited upon hearing about this mission.

It was the first time he had received such a task.

Although they had taken on missions before, those were just for fishing satellites.

"Will there be nuclear bombs inside that submarine?"

Xiao Pang asked excitedly and nervously.

Even though he knew that nuclear bombs wouldn’t easily explode, it’s still... a nuclear bomb, which he had only seen on television news and had never seen in person.

He did want to take a close-up look at a nuclear bomb.

"There usually are," Captain Han nodded.

The nuclear submarine they aimed to fish out was an Ohio-class submarine, a strategic nuclear submarine. What is called a strategic nuclear submarine is fundamentally different from ordinary submarines.

A strategic nuclear submarine, also known as a ballistic missile submarine, is a large submarine whose main mission is to launch ballistic missiles. It’s a crucial element of a three-dimensional nuclear strike and possesses great deterrence.

Its high concealment, being underwater for long periods, makes it an unseen threat, like an invisible assassin.

That’s the terrifying nature of these submarines.

Generally, others wouldn’t dare to act rashly before they find your nuclear submarine.

Because if they don’t eliminate your submarine first, you could retaliate, inflicting huge losses on the other side.

"Forget about it, it’s not that easy to fish up a nuclear bomb."

Let alone a nuclear bomb, fishing for a nuclear submarine is not an easy task.

Fang Hao wasn’t holding out much hope.

Although he knew his luck was unusual and had a special ability, and had previously succeeded a few times in fishing what he wanted,

What he fished before didn’t guarantee that he would succeed again.

The difficulty was too overwhelming.

Fang Hao didn’t have strong confidence.

It’s not like something could be fished up every time; there could be misses.

He hadn’t quite figured out why he could fish up those things, relying on such mystical luck, which was truly unreliable.

Fang Hao simply suggested that he could give it a try, but he couldn’t guarantee success.

To prevent greater disappointment from greater hopes.

Only by keeping hopes minimal, perhaps... a miracle might truly happen.

"Anyway, I believe in you, Brother Hao," Xiao Pang expressed great confidence in Fang Hao.

This time they were fishing on a ten-thousand-ton Coast Guard Ship, a privilege that was rarely seen.

Most of their previous missions had been on Captain Yu’s two-thousand-ton Coast Guard Ship.

The experience on this ten-thousand-ton Coast Guard Ship was very different.

However, Captain Han was not as optimistic as Xiao Pang.

Since they did not know the exact location of the submarine incident, and without that information, they couldn’t determine the most efficient fishing spot.

They could only choose a random place to fish.

This made the probability of fishing up a nuclear submarine even smaller.

"Hopefully this time...everything will go smoothly," Captain Han murmured in his heart.

Although he felt this way, Captain Han didn’t want to undermine everyone’s confidence.

Instead, he was rallying the crew.

"That’s right, maybe we’ll be lucky this time and fish it up quickly."

Let’s hope so.

Fang Hao did not argue.

As the core of the team, he certainly didn’t want everyone to become demoralized.

If even he lacked confidence, the others would have even less.

Captain Han ordered the Coast Guard Ship to head towards some potential locations of the submarine incident, intending to fish there.

These locations were determined by software analysis, choosing several spots based on probability.

After sailing for nearly an hour, the Coast Guard Ship came to a stop.

Then it was time for Fang Hao to start fishing.

While fishing, other ships came to collect the previously caught tail propeller part.
