The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 439 - 256: The Expert’s Shock (Please Subscribe)
All the information about that object was in front of Fang Hao’s eyes.
[Trident 2D-5]
[Carrying eight 100-kiloton W76 warheads, with a full load range of 7800 kilometers, maximum range of 11100 kilometers, three-stage propulsion, solid fuel...]
These Mechanical Eyes captured all the information on this Mushroom Egg in their field of vision.
This indeed was a Mushroom Egg, or more accurately, eight of them... Because this Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile was equipped with eight warheads capable of striking eight different targets, not just a single location.
This was a Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile, possessing extremely high range and precision.
Each missile could be armed with up to 12 warheads, which was quite terrifying.
This type of Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile is mainly deployed on Ohio-class nuclear submarines and is among the most advanced of its kind in the world.
This second version of the missile has a destructive capability three to four times higher than the first.
After reading this information, Fang Hao had a clear understanding of this object.
Knowing what it was.
After this ’Mushroom Egg’ was secured, the Coast Guard on the ship also conducted some data measurement on it.
It was then discovered that the length of this missile had reached 13 meters, which was even longer than the initially estimated 10 meters.
Indeed, it was really long.
No wonder it could carry so many Mushroom Egg warheads.
The power of this thing was truly terrifying.
"Bro Hao, do you think this thing is a Mushroom Egg from that nuclear submarine we caught?" Xiao Pang asked Fang Hao.
If it were before, Fang Hao wouldn’t have been sure because he didn’t know what it was.
But now it was different.
After being in close contact with this object and with the information provided by his Mechanical Eyes, he had identified what this thing was.
"Yes." Fang Hao nodded.
This device was indeed specifically equipped for Ohio-class submarines.
"This is a Trident Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile, carrying eight warheads."
Fang Hao gave him a simple introduction to this thing.
Captain Han at his side also looked at Fang Hao with surprise; he hadn’t expected Fang Hao to recognize what this object was.
This level of knowledge was impressive; even he knew about it because he had had contact with such things before.
But Fang Hao was different; he was a regular person, not someone with channels to access such information,
And most likely learned about it from military websites, military news, or military magazines.
But the knowledge obtained from those sources is very fragmented; some of it might even be deliberately released false information.
He felt that this young man, Fang Hao, was more impressive than he had imagined.
His breadth of knowledge was vast, understanding so much.
If this were outside, it would likely make him a walking suspect of half a million doubts.
But on this ship, Fang Hao’s identity didn’t need to be doubted or worried about.
After hearing Fang Hao’s explanation, the other Coast Guard members were also very interested and stopped to listen to him.
Xiao Pang’s face turned pale when he heard there were eight warheads.
"Eight... warheads, then if it explodes, we’re all done for, right?"
"You wouldn’t even need eight; one would be enough to wipe you out."
Fang Hao gave him a disdainful look, not understanding what he was worried about.
Was there any difference between one and eight warheads?
In the end, if it actually exploded, everyone would be gone.
The outcome would be the same, reducing all to ashes, so there was nothing to worry about; the result wouldn’t change.
"That’s true." Xiao Pang scratched his head.
His worry was indeed unnecessary.
"So we should just pray that this Mushroom Egg doesn’t explode."
That was the only thing everyone was praying for now.
"Don’t worry, it won’t explode. If it were going to, it would’ve already happened."
Fang Hao remained calm as always.
Undoubtedly, he was the most composed person on the ship, whether it was when they caught this object or after learning of its origin; he showed no signs of nervousness or panic.
Such composure was deeply surprising and admiring to Captain Han.
It surely wasn’t something an ordinary person could manage.
Truly impressive.
The others also felt reassured and began to observe the missile up close, their curiosity piqued to the maximum.
This was a rare opportunity.
Even the people who had been scared before were now mustering the courage to get close and look at the missile.
Such opportunities were extremely rare.
No, it could even be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see such a Mushroom Egg close up.
Formerly, one could only hear about such things in the news; actually witnessing it was difficult.
But now they had the chance to come into close contact.
Were they excited? Very.
Decades later, they could even boast to their descendants, talking about how, "in my youth, I touched a Mushroom Egg up close."
These experiences were too few and far between.
And most extraordinary.
Captain Han didn’t stop this activity either; he understood very well the mindset of everyone at this time.
That they could catch this thing was so unexpected.
Initially, their mission focus was on fishing for a nuclear submarine; they hadn’t anticipated catching a Mushroom Egg by chance.
However, this object was also exceptionally important.
Because it was a true mega destroyer among killers.
It’s the reason why the threat of a nuclear submarine is so great, why its deterrence is terrifying; besides its stealth, the main reason lies in its ability to stealthily appear within range and launch such a devastating weapon.
