The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 434 - 253: The Command Tower Casings on the Nuclear Submarine (Please Subscribe)_2
He dreaded the image of Fang Hao pulling up a corpse like he had before.
Fortunately, he didn’t experience that.
Everything was so safe, and he was lucky to get through.
Although what he pulled up wasn’t a part of a nuclear submarine as he had imagined, it wasn’t too bad either.
At least it was a proper gasoline drum, not one containing a corpse.
Judging by the situation with the gasoline drum, it probably fell into the water by accident.
But the fact that it was Xiao Pang who caught it this time earned him a new level of respect from everyone.
It seems that after spending a lot of time with Fang Hao, his luck had also changed.
He started to catch things that were not fish.
Whether it was an accidental catch or not, being able to pull it up this time meant that his luck was extraordinary.
After pulling up the gasoline drum, Xiao Pang also took a selfie with it,
to keep as a memento.
This was his first time; he had to commemorate it properly.
Even if it was just a gasoline drum, it was still the first step towards catching other things.
You would say such an event is worth commemorating.
After all, not everyone is Fang Hao.
...
Just a gasoline drum, so Fang Hao didn’t pay much attention to it.
He then went back to his own fishing rod and took the rod he had fixed earlier.
But the moment he got hold of his fishing rod, he was startled.
The feeling in his hands was completely different.
He had caught something!
Yes.
Finally, it was his turn to catch something.
Trouble never comes alone.
Just when everyone was still regretting that Xiao Pang only caught a gasoline drum, they quickly became distracted by the commotion on Fang Hao’s side.
"Eh?"
"Fang Hao also caught something."
"What could it be this time?"
The first thought of the Coast Guard crew wasn’t that Fang Hao had caught a fish, but some object.
"Could it be a part from a nuclear submarine?"
This was everyone’s concern.
Nothing could be more intriguing.
Their mission this time was to fish for nuclear submarines, so naturally, they all hoped to complete the mission as soon as possible.
Fang Hao then pulled hard and realized that this object was heavier than he had expected.
It was even heavier than the gasoline drum Xiao Pang had just caught.
And much heavier at that.
This piqued his interest.
What had he caught this time?
Soon, everyone on the boat had their eyes on Fang Hao, including Captain Han, who was looking over to see what he had caught this time.
Most people were hoping that Fang Hao had caught a part of a nuclear submarine.
Fang Hao guessed that the thing he had caught this time must weigh about one or two tons.
That’s not light.
It was hard to guess what it could be.
They could only know for sure what it was after it was truly pulled up.
"It might not be a part of a nuclear submarine."
Fang Hao couldn’t be sure for the moment.
He was still reeling in, pulling up the object from below.
Pull it up first before anything else.
As time ticked by, everyone’s attention was on the object being reeled in, all wanting to see what it was.
A group of people were watching Fang Hao.
Those who were busy also stopped their work to watch.
Until the object being reeled in was almost breaking the surface of the water, and its silhouette could be vaguely seen, everyone was guessing what it could be.
"What’s this?"
Upon seeing the dark shadow of the object, people couldn’t make a judgment for the moment.
They had to wait until they could see the object clearly to determine what it was.
"Does this shape look like a cylinder?"
"What could it be?"
"Could it also be a gasoline drum?"
"Or just a large oil drum?"
Everyone couldn’t make a judgment for the time being, they still had to watch Fang Hao pull the item out of the water.
As the object surfaced, its true form gradually became visible, and everyone began to see its shape more clearly.
"Is this... a part from a submarine?"
Everyone felt it looked similar.
"It looks like the command tower shell of a submarine."
"So... this is a part from a submarine?"
After some guessing, everyone finally confirmed what it was—a command tower from a submarine.
That’s also why everyone thought it looked like a cylinder when they first saw its shadow.
Because this object was indeed almost cylindrical, just a bit flattened.
Now that they knew this was a part from a submarine, everyone was more concerned about whether this thing, like the tail propeller part of the Ohio-class nuclear submarine they had fished up before, came from the same submarine.
"I guess it is."
A Coast Guard member felt it must be from the same nuclear submarine.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have caught it.
Although many submarines have met their fate under the sea, they also noticed that the outer surface of the command tower shell they had just caught looked quite new, clearly an indication of a recent accident.
Based on the timing, it was almost the same as when they had caught the tail propeller part earlier.
Captain Han immediately became excited, no longer caring about anything else, and quickly walked toward Fang Hao.
The surrounding Coast Guard members also hurried to follow.
This was a big deal.
If Xiao Pang’s earlier catch of the gasoline drum was just an appetizer,
Then Fang Hao’s current catch of the command tower shell was the main dish.
This was a part from a nuclear submarine, which they needed.
Catching this part meant that they were one step closer to completing their mission.
Whether it was from an Ohio-class nuclear submarine or not, at least this was a part from a submarine.
That was what excited Captain Han.
He needed to verify whether this part was from an Ohio-class nuclear submarine.
As they were walking towards Fang Hao, Fang Hao was also trying to pull this item out of the sea.
Such a heavy object would be unimaginable for an ordinary person to handle.
But for Fang Hao, it was a piece of cake, and his fishing rod had no issues at all—it was an Adamantium Alloy Fishing Rod reinforced for strength.
Imagine how resilient it must be.
Taking a deep breath, he then suddenly exerted force with both hands, and he pulled the item out of the water.
The strength was truly impressive.
But now, everyone’s attention was drawn to the submarine part, so no one cared that Fang Hao had managed to pull up such a heavy object with his bare hands.
After a while, Fang Hao placed the submarine part he had just fished onto the deck at the bow of the ship.
Observing this object up close, Mechanical Eye also displayed its information to Fang Hao.
[Nuclear Submarine Command Tower Shell]
[Part of an Ohio-class nuclear submarine, containing communication, sensors, periscopes, control equipment, etc...]
This confirmed what Fang Hao had caught.
It was indeed a part from a nuclear submarine and not from any other submarine.
After reading this information, Fang Hao was stunned himself.
This luck was truly unstoppable.
Previously, there could be hours without any signs of luck.
Now, catches were coming one after another, keeping the other Coast Guard members on the ship extremely busy.
One moment it was a gasoline drum caught over there, the next moment it was a part from a nuclear submarine caught somewhere else.
When Captain Han saw the part being fished up, he immediately surrounded it, trying to find any remaining clues.
Quickly, after a thorough examination, he also confirmed that this part was from an Ohio-class nuclear submarine.
This was thanks to the hint from Fang Hao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to confirm it.
Perhaps the nuclear submarine had met with an unexpected event, collided with something, followed by an accident that led to its disintegration.
All those were possibilities.
But now, they had only caught two small parts, so they couldn’t possibly figure out what had gone wrong at the moment.
Perhaps because everyone was not very familiar with this command tower, it was actually that small command tower standing on the submarine, the first part to emerge when surfacing, and the last to sink when going underwater.
"It really is... a part from an Ohio-class nuclear submarine."
