Chapter 84 Triumphant Return: Gifts Brought Back
"Little Black Fish" has returned in triumph.
As its futuristic black hull silently slid into the secret dock.
Professor Liang and all the technicians who were waiting on the shore burst into a thunderous cheer that had been suppressed for a long time.
They succeeded!
With their own hands, they created a miracle that could change the world order!
The hatch opened.
Commander Zhao Tiezhu was the first to come out. Although he looked exhausted, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he walked with a powerful stride and a straight back.
Next was Lin Jianguo.
He was holding Zhao Di, who was still sulking because she hadn't caught her "pet".
The little girl buried her face in her father's shoulder, ignoring everyone else, her little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle.
"What's wrong? Why is our little hero unhappy?"
Professor Liang smiled and leaned closer, wanting to pat Zhao Di's head.
Zhao Di turned her head away and snorted.
"Uncle Zhao is a bad guy! He won't let me raise the blackfish!"
Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head awkwardly and laughed out loud: "That thing is too big, our dock can't hold it! Next time! Next time Grandpa will catch you a smaller one!"
Just as everyone was coaxing this little hero...
The submarine's cargo hatch slowly opened.
A flexible robotic arm, carrying a huge object caught in a fishing net, slowly extended out.
When you can see the whole thing.
Everyone present was stunned.
That was a crab.
A crab that was so huge it exceeded everyone's imagination!
Its shell is larger than a washbasin and has a strange deep red color that can only be formed under high pressure in the deep sea.
Those two enormous crab claws, each thicker than an adult's thigh, gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen and exuded an explosive sense of power.
Its eight long legs, when stretched out, span more than three meters!
What do you mean by "crab"?
This is clearly an armored monster from the deep sea!
"I...I'll go..."
A young technician stared wide-eyed, his eyes practically popping out of his head, and stammered.
"This...this is a king crab?"
"Do we have this kind of thing in this part of the sea?"
"And... has anyone ever grown this big?!"
Everyone knows that king crabs live in the extremely cold deep sea, and our warm waters are not their habitat at all.
Moreover, such an exaggerated size is simply unheard of!
If this thing were to climb ashore, it could probably go toe-to-toe with a calf.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Jianguo cleared his throat and explained on behalf of his daughter, who was still sulking.
“This is what Zhao Di just grabbed from the seabed.”
"She said...she said this crab looks delicious."
Just grabbed it...on the spur of the moment?
All eyes turned to the little one who was still pouting.
This little rascal can not only build submarines, but also shoot down airplanes.
Can you even use a submarine to fish for seafood at the bottom of the sea?
And what's more, when you scoop it up, you end up with a "crab zilla"?
Is there no justice left in this world?!
Zhao Di, who had been sulking just moments before, finally showed a hint of pride on her face when she saw everyone looking at the big crab she had caught.
She broke free from Lin Jianguo's embrace, ran to the giant crab, and patted its hard shell.
"Hmph! If you won't let me raise a big blackfish, I'll catch a big crab myself!"
"This crab has two big claws, even more powerful than that big, stupid rat's teeth!"
She tilted her little face up and announced with a proud expression.
That adorable, praising-me-up face made everyone laugh.
After a brief moment of shock, the entire dock erupted in laughter and cheers even louder than before.
"Hahaha! Good! Well done!"
Zhao Tiezhu laughed the loudest. He walked over and tentatively kicked the big crab's claws, only to have his foot go numb from the shock.
"Good heavens! This shell is harder than steel!"
"We drove away the jackals and brought back a delicious meal! This is double happiness!"
"Pass on my orders!"
Zhao Tiezhu waved his hand and roared with boundless pride.
"Tonight! The entire base will have improved meals!"
"Let's not eat pork knuckle! Let's eat seafood!"
"Let's use this 'Sea-Suppressing Divine Crab' to throw a victory celebration for our little hero!"
"Yay! Time to eat big crabs!"
Upon hearing that there was food, Zhao Di instantly forgot all about "keeping pets".
She jumped and bounced excitedly around the giant crab that was taller than her, her mouth practically watering.
"I want to eat that big pincer!"
"I want to eat crab roe buns!"
"I want crab soup!"
Looking at his daughter's greedy expression, Lin Jianguo shook his head helplessly, but the doting look in his eyes seemed to overflow.
That night.
The canteen at the southern base was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
A huge pot, big enough to stew an entire pig, was brought out.
It took more than a dozen cooks a great deal of effort to prepare the enormous king crab before it was steamed in a pot.
The moment the pot lid was lifted.
An indescribable, exquisitely fresh aroma, mixed with the scent of the sea, instantly filled the entire cafeteria.
The crab meat was as white as jade, crystal clear.
The crab roe was golden and glistening, piled up like a mountain.
Everyone was stunned.
I've never seen such plump and delicious crabs in my life!
The first, plumpest crab claw that had been removed was respectfully placed on the main table in front of Zhao Di.
Zhao Di stared at the crab claw, which was thicker than her arm, her eyes sparkling like little stars.
She held the crab claw, opened her little mouth, and took a big, hard bite.
"Mmm...so delicious..."
The little girl squinted her eyes happily, her cheeks bulging out, like a little squirrel that had stolen a pine cone.
Seeing her satisfied expression as she ate, everyone present, whether general or soldier, smiled knowingly.
At this moment, all the exhaustion, all the danger, and all the sacrifices seemed to have been worthwhile.
Nothing is more meaningful than protecting this innocent smile.
As the sun sets, its golden rays spill onto the sea, creating a shimmering spectacle.
A deep-sea crisis that would go down in history came to a warm and happy end amidst the aroma of crabs and laughter.
Everyone believed that with "Little Black Fish" as their anchor, the situation would be stabilized.
From now on, no villain will dare to invade this sea.
They can finally stand tall and tell the world.
This is our sea!
