NOVPUBNow, he was out fishing at sea with the Coast Guard for a satellite-fetching task.
It’s naturally different.
After Fang Hao’s mindset improved, the fishing process became much more relaxed.
The atmosphere wasn’t as oppressive as before.
Soon, Fang Hao caught something else, a piece of marine debris, which was useless.
And then continued fishing.
Next, he caught a detector...
Today’s luck seemed to still be good; regardless of what was caught, just looking at the speed of catching things, it was indeed commendable.
However, the satellite they were trying to catch showed no sign yet.
It was also unknown where it could be.
It was no wonder that the Aerospace Department needed to recruit their help for fishing.
They really couldn’t find it themselves.
Even though they knew that the satellite fell into this marine area, even if the range were smaller, they couldn’t locate it.
Fetching something from the seabed is not easy without knowing the exact coordinates.
It was like finding a needle in the ocean.
The expert from the Aerospace Department was anxious but knew the difficulty of this task, hence he did not rush Fang Hao.
He also knew that even if he rushed it, what difference would it make.
The outcome would still be the same.
Catching the satellite didn’t rely on Fang Hao.
It truly depended on luck.
Fishing for this satellite could only rely on luck.
No one could guarantee it.
He could only pin his hopes on Fang Hao, hoping his luck would be better.
Perhaps his prayers were effective.
Fang Hao’s fishing rod again showed movement.
"Here it comes."
Whether it was the people on the boat or the crowd in the live broadcast room, everyone was watching Fang Hao.
Seeing that his fishing rod was influenced, they all anticipated if there might be any surprise.
It was like the White Dolphin before, just a small surprise.
It was indeed very cute and endearing.
Everyone’s heart was soothed. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"What has he caught this time?"
The crowd was still unclear whether Fang Hao caught a living creature or something else.
Everyone was watching, just waiting to pull it up.
"It seems like it’s not very heavy."
People made judgments about what was caught by observing Fang Hao’s performance.
In fact, the thing caught this time was not heavy.
Perhaps a few hundred pounds.
For Fang Hao, this was easily manageable.
In recent days, his strength had increased to over one thousand seven hundred pounds.
Without using his Gold BFF ability, he could easily pull it up.
From the feel, the object caught this time wasn’t a living creature.
The feel of living creatures differs significantly from inanimate objects.
Fang Hao could judge instantly.
As for what it was, it was still too early to say.
Fang Hao wasn’t sure; it could be something good or might not be.
"Could this be the satellite?"
Suddenly, the thought struck Fang Hao.
If it was indeed the satellite, this weight… seemed about right.
It was a few hundred pounds approximately.
The expert from the Aerospace Department had already informed him about the satellite’s details, so Fang Hao knew its specifications.
Judging by the weight, it indeed resembled it.
This was only Fang Hao’s speculation, it couldn’t certainly be the satellite.
Until Fang Hao pulled the object above the water surface, only then it was clear what it was.
This wasn’t the satellite.
Regrettably.
The object looked quite similar to a liquefied gas cylinder.
Its exterior was severely corroded, covered in rust, and many marine organisms were attached to it.
At first glance, it seemed hard to figure out what it was.
But on the ship, Captain Yu instantly recognized what it was, his expression suddenly changed.
Because this wasn’t just anything; it was a ’Deep Sea Bomb’!
It’s a type of underwater weapon used to attack submarines, equipped with a depth fuse, and upon entering the water, it detonates at a certain depth or when nearing the coordinates to strike its target.
It’s usually deployed from ships or anti-submarine aircraft, but later, its role in anti-submarine warfare was gradually substituted by torpedoes.
However, this does not mean that the Deep Sea Bomb is a weapon that has been phased out.
Even though it has been replaced by torpedoes in anti-submarine operations, it still possesses high cost-effectiveness and efficiency in coastal anti-submarine situations.
Because this thing is much cheaper compared to a torpedo.
Besides anti-submarine operations, deep bombs also serve purposes such as breaking through minefields, clearing channels, and sweeping landing beaches.
But why is there a Deep Sea Bomb here?
Captain Yu couldn’t figure it out.
Judging by its appearance, this Deep Sea Bomb seems quite old.
"Wait, don’t move."
Seeing Fang Hao about to haul this thing up, Captain Yu immediately shouted to stop.
Fang Hao also stopped what he was doing and looked at Captain Yu, not knowing why he suddenly shouted to stop.
He saw Captain Yu’s face was very serious.
Obviously, he recognized what this thing was.
"Captain Yu, this is..."
"This is a deep water bomb!" Captain Yu said.
Deep water bomb!
Once this news broke out, it exploded like a bombshell.
Fang Hao’s live streaming room literally exploded.
"Holy smokes, the streamer hooked a bomb again."
"And it’s a deep water bomb!!!"
"If this bomb explodes, I’m afraid... even this Coast Guard Ship wouldn’t withstand it."
"Is the streamer trying to drag everyone aboard the Coast Guard Ship into his funeral?"
"This streamer’s luck... is unmatched."
"Yes, I remember once the streamer also hooked a torpedo, and nearly scared Xiao Pang to death."
"It’s really dangerous for the streamer, always fishing for these things, next time he might hook a nuclear bomb, then wouldn’t that be..."
Everyone was stunned.
They were shocked to hear about the hooked deep water bomb.
And they were just watching the live stream online, not witnessing it in person.
If they were there in person, they would probably be scared witless too.
Truly a ’dangerous man’.
Not long ago, everyone was still delighted and happy about catching a White Dolphin.
Now, in the next second, this Deep Sea Bomb created a tense atmosphere.
The scent of danger is at its peak.
Meanwhile, Xiao Pang at the scene was also scared, standing still in shock.
The object in his hand fell to the deck with a loud thud.
He wasn’t hearing things wrong... was this really a deep water bomb?
Bomb???
Brother, please tell me this isn’t real.
But obviously, reality shattered Xiao Pang’s illusion.
This was directly stated by Captain Yu, so there was no falsehood.
At this moment, Captain Yu wore a serious expression, handling it with more caution than ever.
He was still unsure about the status of the Deep Sea Bomb and couldn’t guarantee if it would explode immediately.
He had to ensure the safety of everyone aboard.
He couldn’t be careless.
First of all, the status of the Deep Sea Bomb needed to be confirmed.
Upon hearing about the Deep Sea Bomb, Fang Hao was also stunned.
Since he hadn’t made contact with the bomb yet and wasn’t within a certain range, the effects of the Mechanical Eye couldn’t be activated, and he temporarily couldn’t see the status of the bomb.
Fang Hao admittedly did want to haul the bomb up.
But seeing the stance of Captain Yu and the others, he knew that wouldn’t be possible.
Currently, he had hooked the deep water bomb at the surface, momentarily... in a dilemma.
Hauling it up seemed impossible, considering there were so many people on the ship, and their safety needed to be ensured.
Throwing it back was also out of the question, as absolute safety must be maintained within one’s own territorial waters;
The only solution was to find a location to detonate this deep water bomb.
"Find a small lifeboat."
Captain Yu quickly made a countermeasure; he planned to place the deep water bomb on a lifeboat, and then distance themselves from this boat, finally to detonate it.
This seemed to be a safer method for handling the situation.
Captain Yu also reported the situation upward and presented his own plan.
The plan was approved.
The upper authorities also agreed to his detonation plan.
Two small lifeboats were placed on the sea.
There were three Coast Guards on these two boats.
In such a dangerous situation, they really just went at it without shrinking back.
They rowed the lifeboat next to the deep water bomb, Fang Hao cooperated with them, positioning the bomb on the boat.
Then the Coast Guards on the boat untied the ropes.
All of this was done very carefully; they dared not make a large movement.
This aged deep water bomb was definitely unstable and had to be handled with care.
In case a sudden movement triggered the fuse, and then it exploded... that would truly be disastrous.
