Chapter 470: Chapter 271: Salvaging the Submarine (Please Subscribe)_2
Upon arriving at the scene and seeing that the nuclear submarine had been caught by soone fishing, he was extrely surprised.
Everyone found it unbelievable.
“It’s hard to believe that soone could actually fish up a nuclear submarine.”
“How did he manage to do that?”
“Yeah, it’s terrifying.”
“But if anyone could do it, it would only be him.”
When people looked at Fang Hao, their gazes had changed.
They looked up to him.
This luck was truly indescribable, to have fished up even a nuclear submarine.
Moreover, this nuclear submarine was of the Ohio class, one of the most advanced submarines in the world.
The significance of fishing out this submarine was very different.
The commotion caused by fishing out the nuclear submarine was naturally no small matter, but fortunately, the area had been sealed off in advance, so the news did not leak out.
Furthermore, during the subsequent salvage of the submarine, the scene would be disguised a bit, so as not to be detected by other places.
Even if soone investigated this place, they would have no way of knowing what it was.
Being able to fish out the main body of an Ohio-class nuclear submarine was certainly a great achievent.
At this mont, many ships had arrived at the scene. After all, salvaging a large nuclear submarine like an Ohio-class submarine could not be done with just one or two ships.
They couldn’t possibly stay here for too long and needed to salvage the items below as quickly as possible.
So, a large number of ships were called in.
They were all about getting the salvage done as quickly as possible.
“All that’s left are so ‘Mushroom Eggs’ now.”
All parts of the nuclear submarine had been fished up, and a complete submarine had been assembled.
The significance was very different.
Countless eyes were now filled with anticipation; this would be a trendous help to our research on the latest model of ballistic nuclear submarines.
These types of submarines had always been top-secret; acquiring the other party’s technology was nearly impossible.
But now, it had been accomplished.
This Ohio-class nuclear submarine had an accident sowhere, and its wreckage just happened to surface here, where Fang Hao fished it out piece by piece.
It can only be said that this stroke of luck was quite miraculous.
It was such a coincidence that Fang Hao ca upon it and then fished it out during his fishing.
If it weren’t for so parts he fished up at the start, it wouldn’t have been confird that these were the remnants of an Ohio-class submarine, nor that the submarine had been in an accident.
The subsequent salvage operations progressed smoothly.
Our current salvage technology is leading in the world, and if we couldn’t salvage it, no one else could.
Salvaging a submarine is not so easy, let alone a nuclear one.
Professional divers had to go down and inspect the condition of the submarine, especially the reactor.
If there were problems with the reactor, such as a leak, then the salvage wouldn’t be so easy.
Even approaching it wouldn’t be so straightforward; there were too many issues to consider.
Professional personnel first went underwater to investigate, wearing heavy deep-sea diving gear. It wasn’t easy and required special equipnt to descend, and within it, they had to wear protective suits in case of leaks.
After so investigation, it was confird that there were no problems with the reactor, and there were no leaks.
Although the nuclear submarine was severely torn, and the accident was serious, fortunately, the problem wasn’t with the reactor. Or perhaps, the submarine had shut down the reactor before the accident occurred, and the entire chamber was very lucky to have not suffered violent impacts.
These critical parts were well preserved and had not leaked, which made the subsequent salvage relatively easier.
Several large salvage ships began to salvage the main wreck of the nuclear submarine together, lifting it carefully, bit by bit.
This was far more difficult than salvaging an airplane.
But luckily, these people were experienced, and the speed of the salvage was faster than expected; everything went without any problems.
The salvage of the nuclear submarine progressed very smoothly.
Just like that, after nearly five days of salvage work, the nuclear submarine was completely recovered, imdiately disguised, and, once all asures were in place, was sent back.
Salvaging a nuclear submarine is unlike salvaging a sunken ship; treasures and the like inside must be considered, avoiding damage to the contents, requiring a careful and slow cleanup and salvage so the process is quite slow.
But salvaging debris from a nuclear submarine doesn’t have this issue, thus the efficiency is much higher.
When this huge nuclear submarine was delivered into a certain research institute, everyone was stunned.
“We’ve actually snagged a complete Ohio-class nuclear submarine!”
This is not just any part, nor a common, outdated submarine from decades past, but a nuclear submarine, which despite its age, is still one of the most advanced nuclear submarines in the world.
So one can imagine the sensation that ensues from catching an entire nuclear submarine.
Everyone in the entire secret research institute couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched this scene.
They thought they were dreaming.
Several senior researchers, well into their fifties, even had others pinch them to see if they were dreaming.
It was only after feeling the pain that they realized this was not a dream but reality, that they had actually brought an entire Ohio-class nuclear submarine here.
In the past, they wouldn’t even dare to dream of this.
But now, it had been realized.
“When I first entered the research institute twenty years ago, I wondered if I’d ever get the chance to work with an Ohio nuclear submarine. I never expected that opportunity to present itself right in front of now.”
“Yes, they built these nuclear submarines decades ago, while we were just getting started.”
The gap is not small; it’s huge.
It’s like a primary school student facing a high school student, that kind of despair.
But over the years, everyone kept their spirits up, silently working hard and making progress.
Now, we’ve slowly caught up.
As for the latest model nuclear submarine, it surpasses the Ohio in various trics. Once it’s successfully developed… after it’s launched, it will enter the first tier.
We won’t be taunted anymore; our nuclear submarines won’t be called underwater tractors.
But this latest model of nuclear submarine isn’t that easy to develop either, and we’ve encountered a few problems that need solving.
Now, just as we have this Ohio-class nuclear submarine caught, salvaged, and delivered here, it’s a blessing!
For the people in this research institute, it’s like tily rain!
They can study this Ohio-class nuclear submarine and find inspiration and breakthroughs within.
Even in so areas, we might also draw references from it.
Eagle might be nasty, but the things they’ve developed are indeed useful, and the technology is advanced.
“With this, our progress will be even faster.”
“I estimate that within one year, our new model nuclear submarine can be launched for testing.”
Developnt speed has greatly accelerated.
Everyone has absolute confidence.
The accumulation of technology, along with these references, is very valuable to them.
Soon, the research institute began to bustle.
They needed to conduct a detailed analysis and study of the nuclear submarine, leaving no detail overlooked, even to the point of understanding every screw clearly.
Absolutely no detail could be overlooked.
Thanks to good disguise and confidentiality asures, the outside world still had no idea that the nuclear submarine had been salvaged and transported away.
The camouflage during transport made it look like ordinary cargo to outsiders, cunning enough to deceive the sky itself.
…
Without a doubt, catching the nuclear submarine was a great achievent for them.
While everyone was caught in excitent, Fang Hao remained calm.
Because he knew there were still tasks to be completed.
They still had to continue fishing for Mushroom Eggs; there were several more Mushroom Eggs on the ocean floor, which also needed to be salvaged, for as long as they remained at sea, they would pose a great threat.
