Chapter 71 The Prisoner's Confession: There's Something at the Bottom of the Sea
Although they shot down the U-2, which gave everyone a great sense of satisfaction.
But the atmosphere in the interrogation room grew increasingly tense as Jack confessed.
Jack is a spineless coward.
Before they even subjected him to severe torture, they simply starved him for two meals and then waved two large meat buns at him, and he confessed everything.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Jack wolfed down his bun and mumbled something indistinctly.
"I'm not just here to take pictures."
"I also need to give the Seawolf its coordinates."
Upon hearing the words "Sea Wolf," Zhao Tiezhu's pupils constricted sharply.
"The Seawolf? You mean the US's newest attack submarine?"
"Yes...yes."
Jack wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, a flicker of fear in his eyes.
"It's nearby."
"It's swimming in the deep sea, less than fifty nautical miles from your doorstep."
"Its mission is to collect your hydrological data, and..."
"And if it's discovered that you've actually created something threatening, then..."
Jack didn't dare finish his sentence and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Moreover, it also carries the latest electronic jamming equipment."
"The snow-like spots that have been appearing on your radar lately, as well as the communication interruptions, are all caused by it."
"It's a true deep-sea ghost; you simply can't detect it."
"Even if it is discovered, your World War II-era depth charges won't be able to hit it at all."
"It can dive to a depth of 500 meters and travel faster than your torpedoes."
After Jack finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Tiezhu with some pity.
Those eyes seemed to say: You're finished, you've been targeted by Death.
"Bang!"
Zhao Tiezhu slammed his hand on the table, flattening the enamel mug.
"This is outrageous!"
"You dare to act wildly at my doorstep!"
"This is driving me to my doom!"
Zhao Tiezhu was so angry that he trembled all over.
He knew Jack was telling the truth.
In this era, the United States' nuclear submarine technology is unparalleled in the world.
For the current Chinese navy, that's truly a game-changer.
You can't see it, you can't hear it, you can't hit it.
It's like a blind man with a stick trying to fight a fully armed special forces soldier.
They could only passively take the beatings, with no power to fight back.
This feeling of powerlessness, like a mountain, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
The command center was deathly silent.
The staff officers kept their heads down, and no one dared to speak.
Only on that still-hanging nautical chart, the blue area representing territorial waters appears so glaring and so fragile.
In this suffocating silence.
Zhao Di, who had been sitting on a high stool next to her, swinging her legs, suddenly broke the silence.
"Uncle Zhao, is that big black fish that bad uncle mentioned really that powerful?"
Zhao Di tilted her head, her big eyes filled with curiosity, not fear.
Zhao Tiezhu gave a wry smile and patted Zhao Di's head.
"Yes, girl."
"That's the most powerful blackfish in the world."
"It has thick skin and can run very fast. It can also hide in very deep water."
"Our current boat can't catch it."
"That……"
Zhao Di blinked her eyes and suddenly jumped off the stool excitedly.
"Then let's make an even bigger blackfish than it!"
"Grab it!"
"I want to keep it as a pet!"
Zhao Tiezhu paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
"Silly girl, it's not that easy."
"Building that thing is harder than building an atomic bomb."
"We have nothing right now..."
However, Zhao Di didn't listen to his discouraging words at all.
Because that familiar voice rang in her mind again.
Moreover, this time, the system's voice carried an unprecedented fighting spirit.
[Ding! High-level deep-sea threat detected.]
[Main Quest Triggered: Fishing Master]
[Mission Description: Since someone's come to our door seeking death, let's not hold back. We'll not only create our own giant black fish, but also drag out that stinky fish that only knows how to hide in the gutter and make it into a spicy fish head!]
[Mission Requirements: Using existing materials (including that furnace of super steel), manufacture a demonstrator engine for a magnetohydrodynamic nuclear submarine, codenamed "Little Black Fish," within one month!]
[Special Note: This system will unlock the first level of access to the "Deep-Sea Technology Tree".]
[Mission Reward: Deep-sea sonar array blueprints + a one-day trip to a large-scale amusement park (virtual version).]
Amusement park!
Zhao Di's attention was instantly drawn to the last three words.
Although she had never been there, she had heard the system uncle describe it.
That's the most fun place in the world!
There's a carousel, a Ferris wheel, and endless ice cream!
"I want to go to the amusement park!"
Zhao Di cried out in her heart.
For the sake of the amusement park, she would build not only a giant black fish, but even a giant whale!
"Uncle Zhao! I have a solution!"
Zhao Di grabbed Zhao Tiezhu's big hand, her face flushed red with excitement.
"The fairy uncle said we can do it!"
"And the big blackfish we make doesn't need that spinning fan (propeller)!"
"It swims in the water without making a sound!"
"Like...like a ghost!"
"That scoundrel, the big black fish, is deaf and blind!"
"We can arrest them however we want!"
Zhao Tiezhu's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing these words.
Although reason told him that this was a pipe dream.
But looking at this little ancestor who had just shot down the U-2 with a single shot...
Looking into her big, confident eyes.
Zhao Tiezhu's heart, which had long since cooled, suddenly began to beat wildly again.
just in case……
What if it really works?
"No propellers? Not a single sound?"
Professor Liang, who was standing next to him, almost dropped his glasses when he heard this.
"This... could this be the legendary magnetohydrodynamic propulsion?"
"But that's just a theoretical concept! Even the Americans haven't figured it out yet!"
"Girl, you...you really have the blueprints?"
Zhao Di nodded heavily.
She pointed to her little head.
"They're all here!"
"The fairy uncle has finished drawing!"
"Let's go build it now!"
"I want to catch a big black fish! I want to go to the amusement park!"
Looking at the spirited Zhao Di, Zhao Tiezhu took a deep breath.
He suddenly slapped his thigh, a slap that startled everyone.
"Dry!"
"Since the US has a knife to our throats, then we'll fight them to the death!"
"Zhao Di! Just tell me what you need!"
"Even if I have to tear down this South Heavenly Gate, I'll still collect everything for you!"
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"Level One Combat Readiness!"
"It's not for defense!"
"It's to create that true Dragon King for our little ancestor, one that can overturn rivers and seas!"
