The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

My goodness.

Such a talent would be a pity to waste.

This physical condition isn't something an ordinary person can compare with. To be able to fish up such a heavy wing, how strong must he be?

Captain Yu was somewhat astonished in his heart.

He had seen many people, and the Navy was not short of exceptional talents, but someone with strength like Fang Hao's was still a first.

Can you say he wasn't tempted?

Moreover, Fang Hao could fish up planes, which was even rarer.

Who knows, maybe he could fish up even more in the future.

On Blue Star, the ocean accounts for 70% of the surface, with most places being sea. In these vast oceans, who knows how many things are buried beneath.

Being able to fish up even a couple more would make a difference.

The secrets beneath the sea are plentiful, worth their exploration.

"There's nothing special, I just have a bit more strength," Fang Hao said in all modesty.

Seeing Fang Hao's humility, Captain Yu grew even more satisfied with him.

"Are you interested in joining the military?"

"Ah, this..." Fang Hao was somewhat surprised, he hadn't expected the other party to ask him this question first.

He had thought they would inquire about how he fished up the wing, or about the condition of the plane underwater.

Yet, they were asking him to enlist?

This...

Not only was this unexpected for Fang Hao, but clearly, those surrounding them were also quite astonished.

Weren't they here to deal with the wing and the plane? But now... it seemed they wanted to recruit Fang Hao into the Navy.

It appeared that Brother Hao was impressive, indeed.

Even the Navy was interested in him.

"I'll consider it."

Fang Hao didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

Captain Yu knew Fang Hao was tactfully declining, but he wasn't in a hurry. "Alright, take your time to think about it. If you decide, you can come find me. Here is my contact information; you can give me a call when you're ready."

Captain Yu left Fang Hao with a contact.

"Okay."

The two did not discuss the matter too long; after all, more pressing issues lay ahead.

Afterward, Captain Yu turned his attention to the nearly half-deck-spanning wing.

It was a broken wing.

Seeing this wing, Captain Yu almost immediately identified it as the Eagle Clan's F35 fighter, no doubt about it.

He was too familiar with it.

After all, there's a saying: the person who knows you best is your rival.

As an old adversary, Captain Yu was naturally very familiar with this aircraft of the Eagle Clan.

It was one of their most advanced fighters, the world's largest single-engine single-seat carrier-based fighter jet, and the only fifth-generation carrier-based fighter already in service.

With clever stealth design and advanced electronic systems, it even had a certain capability for supersonic cruising.

Most importantly, this plane could perform short take-offs and landings, including vertical ones, a technology not many possessed.

One could imagine how helpful it would be if they salvaged this aircraft.

Mastering its technology would allow them to adapt to various war environments in the future.

In a moment, Captain Yu was captivated by the broken wing.

Then his gaze fell on a detail that was easy to overlook, the break point.

He noticed that some of the fractures were fresh.

This indicated one thing: the wing had only just broken off while being fished up.

With this thought, Captain Yu immediately grew excited.

It meant... right in this maritime area, the plane was here.

It was like finding a needle in a haystack without any effort.

An aircraft that the Eagle Clan had expended so much effort to recover without success had appeared here.

Although it was unclear why the aircraft was here, now that they had discovered it, they definitely needed to salvage it.

No wonder he had just received a call from above, ordering him to come here.

They must have calculated this early on.

After confirming it was an F35, Captain Yu quickly reported the situation to his superiors and began planning the next steps.

"Did you fish up this wing right here?"

Captain Yu inquired about Fang Hao's situation.

"Yes, it was right here," Fang Hao nodded.

"Can you tell me more about how you fished it up?" Captain Yu was very curious, of course, but it was also a necessity for the mission; he needed to understand the details.

This would facilitate the subsequent salvage preparations.

The plane must be salvaged, and that too, covertly, it absolutely could not be revealed to the outside world.

Relevant personnel were already controlling online narratives, ensuring no news would get out.

This was one of the reasons the live broadcast was interrupted – to prevent spreading too much information.

Now there were no related topics online, as any that cropped up were deleted.

This was noticed by the netizens as well.

Fang Hao didn't hide anything, and he explained in detail how he had fished up the plane, omitting the part about using the Infinite Strength Card.

That was his own secret.

Definitely not to be revealed.

After Fang Hao described how he had fished up the plane, Captain Yu nodded, indicating he understood.

He was now almost 99.9% certain that the plane was right beneath them.

The site was not only home to a fractured wing.

If it were just a broken wing, such an uproar wouldn't have been justified. But an entire plane was another matter entirely.
