The object floated to the surface, and everyone could see what it was.
A hemispherical shape with a cylindrical body appeared before everyone’s eyes, its outer surface black as if it had been scorched by a great fire.
Seeing this, everyone was baffled.
What is this?
They had never seen anything of this shape before.
"What is this?"
"It looks so strange."
"It couldn’t be some alien technology left behind by passing extraterrestrials, could it..."
Someone muttered, feeling that the odd shape was just like something out of alien technology.
"It doesn’t quite look like it."
"It does look a bit like a burnt iron pot we have at home," someone teased.
In the live stream chatroom, everyone was commenting with their own opinions.
They were all analyzing what this newly hooked object could be.
"I think it looks like a water tank from my house that’s been scorched on the outside."
The live stream chatroom was buzzing with excitement.
Everyone was letting their imagination run wild, guessing all sorts of things.
...
But on the boat, the crew was completely shaken after seeing what Fang Hao had hooked.
Especially the expert from the Aerospace Department, who was trembling with excitement, almost unable to speak.
Because he recognized what the object in front of them was.
It was none other than their mission objective for this deep-sea fishing trip: the satellite!
That’s right, the elusive experimental satellite had finally been caught by Fang Hao.
This was the reason for his excitement.
To be honest, he had nearly given up hope of recovering the satellite.
Just when he was about to lose all anticipation, they had actually hooked it.
It all felt like a dream.
Looking at the large object floating on the sea.
He was in a daze.
Lost in stupor.
He even felt an impulse to cry.
This was the result of the efforts and countless days and nights of hard work from people in aerospace, and now they had finally pulled it up.
Their hard work hadn’t been wasted, and there was no need to start over.
Otherwise, if they couldn’t find this experimental satellite, they would have to launch another one and do all the experiments again.
Wasting time, resources, and energy— that would be the biggest waste.
They could accept their own failures, but not such wastage.
Thankfully... they had finally found the experimental satellite.
Captain Yu also noticed his expression and suddenly understood what it was.
Xiao Pang looked curiously at the object, his eyes filled with a sense of wonder.
Fang Hao had also confirmed what he had caught, having already familiarized himself with the satellite’s data before embarking on the journey.
The Aerospace Department had provided him with the satellite’s information, which he had reviewed in advance.
So, when he caught the satellite, he recognized it instantly, just like that expert.
It was the satellite.
They really had caught it.
Fang Hao’s eyes were filled with a hint of astonishment.
He hadn’t expected to catch a satellite in this way.
He thought they would have to fish for several more days, but surprisingly they had caught it.
It turns out that surprises happen more often when you least expect them.
It seems that his good fortune was continuing.
Fang Hao glanced at the live stream chatroom and almost burst into laughter at the wild guesses of the audience.
Truly imaginative, guessing all kinds of things.
"Everybody stop guessing."
"This thing is a satellite."
Fang Hao informed everyone.
"A satellite?"
"Holy shit, this thing is a satellite?"
"It doesn’t look like it at all."
The audience in the live stream chatroom was somewhat in disbelief after hearing Fang Hao’s words.
They had looked at it for a long time and felt it didn’t resemble the satellites they had in mind.
"Aren’t satellites supposed to have a pair of wings?" one viewer muttered.
"Those are solar panels, moron."
"You’re the moron, I know they’re solar panels, but the satellite the host is talking about doesn’t have any."
"Coming back from space, it has to pass through the atmosphere; even if there were solar panels, they would have burned off by now."
"But in our minds, satellites are usually cylindrical or rectangular, or just spherical. We’ve never seen such a strange shape."
"Yeah, I thought it was some sort of alien technology."
"Alien technology wouldn’t look so black, just like the iron pot in my house."
The crowd was chattering, each expressing their own views.
"Wait a minute..."
"Could this be the very thing the host set out to fish for?"
"The satellite from the sky? Holy cow, it does seem so."
At that moment, the audience finally caught on.
So the mission for Fang Hao’s deep-sea fishing trip was to catch a satellite.
They had speculated for a long time, but no one had known for sure what it was.
"I guessed it this morning... but back then no one believed me."
There were also people who had guessed it was a satellite early on, now they were feeling vindicated in the live stream chatroom.
"Enough with the hindsight."
"Who dared to be absolutely sure it was a satellite before this?"
"That’s true."
Before this, everyone was just guessing, none could guarantee the accuracy of their guesses.
Now everyone finally knew what Fang Hao’s mission was for setting out to sea.
"Yes, our mission for this deep-sea fishing trip was to catch a satellite," Fang Hao also confirmed their guesses.
The truth was out.
No need for guessing anymore.
"Now the host’s mission is accomplished."
