The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 179 - 131 If We Can’t Salvage It, Let’s Fish for the Plane! (Please Subscribe)
This time, the live broadcast unexpectedly didn't cut off.
Everyone could hear the news report coming in loud and clear from the radio.
It was revealed that the Eagle's aircraft had a flight accident while undergoing some flying training in the Southern Sea area, leading to the crash of their own plane and the aircraft carrier's deck being damaged to some extent.
Instantly, a bunch of people were shocked to the core.
Holy smokes, isn't this piece of news explosive?
The Eagle's F35 fell into the sea during training?
And it fell into the nearest sea area to us.
"Good heavens, the Eagle's plane has fallen into the sea."
That's their current fifth-generation main fighter jet, a pinnacle of high-tech warfare, packed with lots of advanced secret tech.
Quite a few netizens became a bit excited hearing this news.
"But why do I feel kinda thrilled that the plane fell into the sea?"
"Indeed, it's thrilling. I love seeing trouble in the big beauty's camp. It'd be great if more could fall, better if the F22 and B2 fell too, haha."
A bunch of netizens were quite elated after hearing the foreknowledge news on the radio.
This was the best news they'd heard in a long while.
So thrilling, so satisfying.
"Right, the F22 and B2, their designs, like they are filled with all kinds of secret tech!"
"The F35 isn't bad either. It's been continuously upgraded over the years, and some of the technologies inside are also black tech we don't possess."
"Hehe, if only we knew the exact crash site, we could go salvage it, and the plane would be ours."
If we could get our hands on the wreckage of this fighter, we could thoroughly unravel the technology within.
Whether it's used for reference or for adversary research, it'd be of great significance.
Then the F35, as a carrier aircraft, would have no secrets from us.
"Don't daydream. The Eagle won't just ignore their fallen jet in the sea."
"They'll definitely note down the coordinates immediately and start salvaging it as fast as they can."
Some netizens were more sober, aware that the likelihood of us salvaging it was extremely slim; it was just a pipe dream.
For one, we don't even know the exact crash site.
Even though we know it's in the Southern Sea, and it's close to us, the sea area is so vast. Salvaging a plane there is like finding a needle in a haystack, basically unrealistic.
So it's just nice to think about.
Those thoughts are essentially hard to realize.
Trying to salvage the plane before the Eagle makes a move is practically impossible.
The Eagle won't let you get close.
Unless one of two scenarios occurs: Either the Eagle notes the wrong coordinates and fails to salvage, or the jet shifts with the ocean currents making the Eagle miss.
Only in these two scenarios would the Eagle fail to recover it.
But even if they can't do it, other countries are even less likely.
"So, dreaming like that isn't okay either."
"Okay, of course, it is, but only in dreams."
"Anyway, we'll just have to pay attention to the news later on."
Everyone was still very interested deep down.
This news report was quite explosive.
It disclosed important information.
As the news spread, netizens started sharing it online, and it quickly caught fire again.
...
Meanwhile.
The military also received an intelligence report.
"The Eagle's Vincent will soon enter the Southern Sea to conduct a routine exercise."
"Our radar has detected the opponent's aircraft carrier's activity; it's definitely heading toward our Southern Sea."
Upon receiving this message, the military mobilized immediately, dispatching vessels to patrol the nearby waters.
They exerted a certain pressure on the opposition and kept an eye on their movements.

Such situations are too common.
...
On the fishing boat.
When Fang Hao and his companions heard the message from the radio, they too were surprised.
"This... the Eagle's plane actually fell into the water?"
"Why couldn't it have been the F22 instead?" Xiao Pang mumbled.
In many people's minds, the F22 is seen as more powerful than the F35, considering their different costs.
Moreover, the F22's black tech really is more abundant and feels more like alien technology.
"You actually wish the Eagle's planes would crash daily." Fang Hao chuckled.
"I kinda do..."
"Hey, big bro Hao, why don't we go check it out too? By the time we get there, the Eagle's probably started training, and maybe we can see planes falling."
Xiao Pang suddenly seemed to have an idea and made a suggestion.
Fang Hao looked at him as if he were staring at an idiot.
"You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Our tiny fishing boat trying to get close to them, we might just end up as live-fire targets.
Even if not targeted, we'd be driven away well before getting close. It'd be a wasted effort.
"That, big bro Hao... I was just joking."
Xiao Pang sheepishly smiled, knowing his words hadn't been thought through.
Witnessing the Eagle's planes fall live... that was definitely not possible.
An aircraft carrier has a deterrence range and wouldn't let a tiny fishing boat get anywhere close.
"Just not sure if the plane can still be salvaged after falling into the sea."
