The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 431 - 252: Brother Hao, what I’ve caught isn’t a fish, is it? (Please Subscribe)

Fishing for submarines, such an outrageous act, appeared much more normal with Fang Hao here.

Everyone on the Coast Guard Ship pinned their hopes on Fang Hao, hoping he could perform well and successfully reel one in.

Then the mission would be considered perfectly completed.

But everyone knew how difficult the mission was; it certainly wasn’t something that could easily be accomplished.

They just believed in Fang Hao.

The crowd watched the figure on the deck, their eyes filled with longing.

It was a feeling of trust.

...

More than an hour had passed, and there was no movement from Fang Hao’s fishing rod.

This was expected.

It’s not always the case that fishing yields quick activity, let alone fishing for a nuclear submarine.

Nuclear submarines aren’t that easy to catch.

Plus, they had no idea of the exact position; everything was based on feeling, based on luck.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was like a blind cat running into a dead mouse.

Everything depended on luck.

As long as the luck was good.

Anything could be caught.

Fang Hao had also divined his own luck beforehand; his luck this time was mediocre, neither good nor bad.

So he didn’t know if he could really catch one.

He also used a card to boost his luck, to make his chances of success a little better.

Xiao Pang also came near Fang Hao and started fishing.

But he was truly fishing, not fishing for a nuclear submarine like Fang Hao.

He didn’t have Fang Hao’s special abilities.

However, as Fang Hao’s sidekick assistant, his role could not be underestimated.

Sometimes he could provide Fang Hao with emotional support.

And he was also one of the only members of the special fishing task force, officially enlisted.

His role wasn’t about the ability to catch things; instead, he could help Fang Hao deal with many things, like daily trivia, essentially working as an assistant.

With him around, Fang Hao indeed felt relieved of many burdens as Xiao Pang took care of the trivial matters.

Both were quietly fishing, and no one else came to bother them.

Captain Han, apart from arranging to deliver food to them, strictly prohibited everyone else from disturbing them.

So the rest of the Coast Guard watched them from a distance, without approaching.

While they were fishing for a nuclear submarine, the world outside was in an uproar.

Eagle was nervous, having a bad feeling.

They recognized this thing; it was from the propeller section of their own Ohio-class nuclear submarine.

Considering the recent nuclear submarine incident, they suspected it was from that very submarine.

The problem now was that they couldn’t get in touch with that nuclear submarine, nor could they locate it.

The accident-ridden submarine seemed to have vanished; they couldn’t find any trace, nor any debris.

In their hearts, they also knew that the odds were grim.

There was no communication whatsoever.

There was no response from that side.

Generally, such a situation implies…

A nuclear submarine accident at the sea floor, and everyone can imagine the outcome.

There was basically no chance of saving it.

But for Eagle, whether there really was an incident or… just a temporary loss of contact, they had to locate the other side.

So, without a choice, they also searched and tried to communicate, to see if they could get the component back first.

But… our side did not respond to them.

This caused a massive headache for Eagle.

If nobody admits that this is a part of an Ohio-class nuclear submarine, then it becomes very difficult to recover it.

The situation was much harder than they had imagined, and the circumstances were significantly more challenging.

They realized the severity of the issue.

"If this component is obtained by Rabbit…"

There’s no need to say more.

The implication was clear; the opposing side might leverage this component to develop even more advantageous, advanced submarine parts.

As a result, they might reduce the underwater noise levels of their submarines even further.

Moreover, by exploiting this component, they could fully analyze their submarines, which would be the most troublesome aspect.

If they developed something to target their submarines specifically, it would mean that Ohio-class nuclear submarines would have nowhere to hide in front of the opposition, and could no longer remain concealed.

Then the significance of its existence would be greatly diminished.

Why the Ohio-class nuclear submarine has remained in service for decades without being decommissioned and is now being upgraded at this time is precisely because that model is irreplaceable, and its technology level is still explosive even today.

Fortunately, only this component has been obtained by Rabbit.

They haven’t found the other submarine parts yet.

The only concern they have is whether Rabbit will find the rest of the submarine parts later on.

If they really do find them, that’s the real trouble.

Because inside a nuclear submarine, there’s not just the submarine itself, but also the underwater-launched ballistic nuclear missiles, which are heavy weaponry.

Moreover, the Ohio-class nuclear submarine’s structural arrangement that allows it to carry so many warheads has always been a subject of study by others.

If these secrets were to leak out now, it would be a catastrophic loss for Eagle.

So the most important thing for them right now is to find out the specific situation.

"This person has stopped live streaming; it’s clear that Rabbit is up to something."
