"I can't figure it out. What kind of fish is worth over three hundred dollars?"
Chen Qiuju looked a bit dreamy. "One prize is worth over 300 yuan. If I win 10 a year, I'll have everything."
The corner of Bai's mouth twitched. "A torpedo is not a fish."
Even if she had no common sense, she knew that this thing called a torpedo had absolutely nothing to do with fish.
"If it's not a fish, then what is a torpedo?"
Wu Yue looked curious, and this question successfully stumped Mrs. Bai.
She was silent for a moment. "I don't know what it is either. I just know that even though it has the word 'fish' in it, it's definitely not a fish."
"Xiao Jian, do you know?"
"bomb."
Jian Yuelan said succinctly, "A bomb specially designed for naval warfare."
Information is not well developed today, unlike in later generations where we can learn about the development of our country’s national defense through various channels.
There were no military books or newspapers specifically for the general public, and national defense was too far away from the lives of ordinary people.
Therefore, if you explain what a torpedo is, Mrs. Bai and the others may not understand, but when it comes to bombs, not to mention adults, even children know what it means.
As expected, when these words were spoken, Mrs. Bai and the others were shocked.
"A bomb? What the fishermen pulled up was a bomb?"
She nodded and said, yes, a torpedo is, to some extent, a more advanced bomb.
Chen Qiuju twisted her face and asked, "Won't the bomb get wet in the sea?"
"It's wrapped in iron."
She suddenly realized, "Isn't this thing easy to fish for?"
He looks like he's ready to do something.
Jian Yuelan's eyebrows twitched. What's going on? Does this girl want to rescue it?
“It’s not easy to fish.”
Worried that she might get carried away and go borrow a boat from the fishermen or join them in recovering torpedoes, she said earnestly, "Think about it. Fishermen go out to sea almost every day, sometimes a day or two, sometimes ten days or half a month. If torpedoes were really that easy to recover, they would have recovered countless of them. Why would it take so long to find just one?"
This made a lot of sense, and Chen Qiuju's dream of getting rich was shattered.
She sighed with regret, "Alas, I was thinking of going out to sea to catch a few and earn some bonus."
This idea is very practical, but it cannot be realized.
"Deputy Captain Ye hasn't returned yet?"
"In the shower."
After being out for so many days, my body stinks and the smell is so strong that it can suffocate people.
So, the man who was thinking about giving his wife a warm hug when he got home, not only did not get the hug, but was also sent away to take a shower by his wife with a look of disgust on her face.
"How long have you been in there?"
Jian Yuelan looked at the time and said, "About seven or eight minutes."
As soon as this answer came out, Mrs. Bai and the others immediately got up and said goodbye to go home, leaving the space to the young couple.
As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage, so they must not be so inconsiderate as to disturb the young couple.
Jian Yuelan was stunned by their quick movements, and then she burst out laughing when she realized what they meant. It is a wonderful thing to have a few neighbors who are considerate, knowledgeable and tactful.
She got up and went back to the house. She felt a little dizzy after staying in the sun for too long. She had just poured a glass of water and was about to drink it when she heard steady and powerful footsteps behind her. Then her waist felt tighter and the man's strong chest pressed against her.
A familiar breath like warm sunshine instantly enveloped her.
