Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 220 New Discovery

It would be easy if the torpedo was found. Fu Wan untied the hemp rope around her waist. She had tied the rope herself using the lock-tying method passed down from generation to generation by the fishermen in Fujia Village.

Because the hemp rope on the boat had been released long ago, Fu Wan did not feel any effort when swimming towards the bottom of the sea.

She used the hemp rope to tie the torpedo tightly together, and then hooked the deep-sea fisherman's hook into the strongest locking knot.

The machines on the deck felt the gravity, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, the machines began to creak and run.

The hemp rope that was released also began to be recovered in circles and wrapped around the gears of the deep-sea fishing device.

Sun Shaoping stared at the sea, fearing that something might go wrong.

"Old leader, is your machine strong enough?"

Zhao Gang saw that the hemp rope was stretched straight and was afraid that it would break at the next moment.

"What are you talking about? Even though this thing looks simple, it has been repeatedly tested by our camp for the purpose of salvaging these things from the sea!"

What he didn't dare say was that although this thing had been experimental for a long time, today was its first practical application.

"But that little comrade, why hasn't he come up yet?"

Fu Wan was at the bottom of the sea watching the torpedo being slowly pulled up by the deep-sea catching device, and then swayed twice. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, fearing that the hemp rope could not bear the weight of the torpedo and would fall.

Fortunately, after shaking several times, the torpedo was firmly caught by the hemp rope and headed towards the sea surface.

She then exhaled heavily, but she forgot that she was still in the sea. The exhaled air turned into several bubbles, rolling out in a series.

It's quite fun!

Fu Wan had never discovered so intuitively that she could spit bubbles in the sea before. A few fish nearby were curious about this scene and came over to bite the bubbles next to Fu Wan with their heads.

The bubbles suddenly burst, scaring them away again.

These fish are palm-sized ornamental fish, not only with stripes on their bodies, but also with very bright colors.

This scene is something you can’t see on land, it’s so beautiful!

Seeing that the torpedo was getting farther and farther away from her, Fu Wan was afraid that Zhao Gang and others would be getting anxious waiting on the boat, so she prepared to swim towards the surface of the sea.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the sea water around her surging unusually.

She instinctively swam to the side, and the next second after she swam away, a thick tentacle appeared at the original position of the torpedo with a snap.

What is that? A monster?

There happened to be a reef half a person's height nearby. Fu Wan quickly hid behind it and secretly looked over there.

Visibility was low in the deep sea, but she could still see clearly.

There were densely packed suction cups on the tentacles, which were expanding and contracting. Although most of the small sea fish that had just come to join in the fun were frightened and ran away, a small number of them were still firmly sucked by the suction cups on the tentacles.

Then, under Fu Wan's shocked gaze, the tentacle dragged the sucked fish into the darkness, and soon a hint of red appeared in the sea water.

Was all of this eaten by that thing?

what is this?

Fu Wan carefully changed the angle and finally saw the thing clearly.

That thing had more than one tentacle, but the tentacles that stretched out were about one meter long. A head about the size of a football was hidden in the darkness, with a pair of half-open eyes, which was very scary.

That's a giant octopus!

Fu Wan felt that she had really saved her life at this moment. If the tentacles of that thing had suddenly attacked her when she was tying the torpedo just now, she would definitely not have been able to escape.

It seems that this deep sea is not a random place!

You should know that the giant octopus is as lethal as a killer whale in the deep sea, and the octopus is an animal with a very high IQ. With a useful brain and eight useful tentacles, it is basically invincible in the deep sea.

However, the giant octopus had no intention of attacking Fu Wan, and it was obviously injured. Fu Wan counted it several times, and only six of the eight tentacles were left.

The six tentacles were quite scary. Fu Wan didn't dare to stay any longer and could only swim towards the sea surface as quickly as possible with the least noise.

The people on the sea had just hoisted the torpedo onto the deck and were now looking around at the big guy in curiosity.

However, Boss Fu and Bai Qianzhou had no interest in this thing. The two of them stood on the deck and looked at the sea in a rare tacit understanding. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until Fu Wan appeared on the sea.

"Has Comrade Xiaofu come up yet?"

"Here he comes! Comrade Xiao Fu is back!"

Sun Shaoping looked at the new torpedo with satisfaction, and then noticed that Fu Wan had not yet boarded the ship.

At this time, other comrades waiting under the rope ladder had already discovered Fu Wan. Within a few minutes, Fu Wan climbed up the rope ladder to the deck.

After Fu Wan changed into clean clothes and wiped the water off her hair, she appeared in front of everyone.

"Comrade Xiaofu, you are truly our great hero!"

"I'll report this to my superiors later and give you a great credit!"

Sun Shaoping's face no longer had the seriousness he had when they first met in the morning. He was smiling so much that the subordinates around him were stunned.

Is this still the leader who curses everyone in the camp every day?

Lao Sun, you really make me feel unfamiliar!

How could they understand that Sun Shaoping had been a soldier all his life and was now on the verge of retirement because of his old age and physical weakness.

But what worried him most was the combat equipment of the team. There were many sea areas on the border of China, and the vast sea was the easiest place for enemy spies to find loopholes.

However, China has just entered the development stage and its technology is backward.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Some time ago, he heard that fishermen had fished up a torpedo from the United States. He watched the research team disassemble the torpedo. Because they didn't understand the structure of the torpedo, they specially recruited Qin Anning, who had returned from studying in the United States, to do research.

Unexpectedly, just when the old torpedo over there was showing some improvement, a new torpedo appeared over here!

How could this not make Sun Shaoping happy!

Look at the beautiful shape of this torpedo. Even Sun Shaoping thinks the simple propeller at the tail is very beautiful.

Such a new torpedo. If this matter could not be reported to the US Embassy so quickly, Sun Shaoping really wanted to thank them for sending him the new model.

This thing is good in every way, except that the two torn flags painted on the tail are a bit annoying. Humph, it won’t be long before the red flag of China will appear on it!

The torpedo was salvaged and the mission of this voyage was successfully completed. Perhaps because Sun Shaoping was eager to return home, Fu Wan had never felt that the journey from the Swiftlet's Nest Island to the dock was so fast.

Sun Shaoping and others sent Fu Wan, Fu Lao Da and others to the dock, and then drove the boat towards the camp.

There was a dedicated dock at the camp, so Sun Shaoping first dropped the torpedo before sending Fu Wan and the others off. After all, the person who dropped the torpedo had only captured Fu Qiang, so he couldn't let them know that the torpedo had been fished out the moment it was dropped.

Zhao Gang's car was parked by Li Jun in front of Fu Lao's house. Fu Lao Da and Village Chief Fu walked home with Zhao Gang and others. Fu Wan looked at Zhao Gang's back and suddenly remembered something.

She hasn't asked Zhao Gang what the notebook she took out of the killer whale's mouth is yet!
