The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 207 - 145: Difficulty of Fishing an Airplane: Five Stars! (Please Subscribe)

After contacting the higher-ups, they quickly confirmed that the coordinates for the crash site were correct.

After repeated verification, it was certain there was no mistake.

They hadn't gone to the wrong location.

But why hadn't they detected the presence of a plane underwater—nothing was found.

The plane that had crashed into the sea might have shifted positions.

A typhoon had just passed through the area, likely causing undersea currents to move the plane.

The ocean might seem vast and calm on the surface, but beneath it, currents could be fluctuating.

It was a plausible scenario.

There was no choice; they had to expand their search area to see if the plane could be found.

They hypothesized the possible direction of the current and deployed detectors to search.

But despite searching a large area, they found no trace of the plane.

It was as if it had vanished.

What on earth was going on?

Many people were baffled and couldn't grasp the situation.

Even their experts were perplexed.

"It shouldn't be like this."

"What on earth is happening?"

"Why can't we find any trace of the plane?"

They didn't know what was going on.

"Could Rabbit be behind this?"

Soon, they suspected Rabbit, given that this area was under Rabbit's control.

It was the only explanation they could think of; they had to lay the responsibility on Rabbit.

It made things easier to explain.

"Could Rabbit have deployed a submersible to secretly salvage the plane while we weren't looking?"

They suspected that Rabbit had conducted a covert salvage operation.

But they hadn't considered that it was typhoon weather—how could anyone salvage in such conditions?

Yet, they didn't care; it was a way to shift the blame.

They continued their search for a considerable length of time but still came up empty-handed.

While they were attempting to salvage, Rabbit also sent observers to monitor the situation. It was said to be "observing," but it was more like watching the other party's movements—

to see whether they were genuinely salvaging or up to something.

However, they didn't get close, just watched from a distance.

"I wonder if the eagle will be able to salvage the plane."

Deep-sea salvage had always been a challenging task.

Ocean currents, water pressure from the depth, and the sheer vastness of the sea made the salvage complicated.

The recent typhoon added to their difficulties.

This was why they doubted whether the eagle could pull off the salvage.

"Never mind."

"For now, let's just keep out of it and watch the eagle perform."

They adopted a spectator's stance, high and detached, disinterested in intervening.

When the time came, if the other party tried to shirk responsibility, they would be confident and have reasons to refute.

Sure enough.

Their prediction was right.

They quickly faced accusations from the other party, blaming them for secretly salvaging the plane without consent.

Well-prepared, they immediately countered with various pieces of evidence.

This move left the accusers speechless.

"Hahaha, well done."

When netizens got wind of this news, they were thrilled.

Of course, some hoped that we could recover the downed plane.

Pride?

Pride is trivial.

Real benefits matter.

If they could salvage this plane, it would greatly benefit our development and allow us to thoroughly analyze the eagle.

"I didn't expect the eagle to fail to salvage the plane."

"Hehe, maybe the sea's minions exerted their strength and whisked the plane away."

"The eagle should have thought twice about whose territory this is before making a mess here!"

"That felt great."

"Thanks to the Eagle for delivering the plane; it certainly loves us."

"Hope they'll continue this and send more planes next time. Oh, and how about a few F22s?"

Compared to the F35, many netizens were more eager to see the F22, seeming more like alien technology.

After all, it was, at one point, the world's first stealth fighter, with its onboard black technology a mystery to everyone.

Many linked this plane to extraterrestrial technology.

"Yes, yes, hopefully next time they'll send F22s."

With Rabbit's strong rebuttal, the opposing side had nothing more to say.

They also dispatched satellites to survey recent activities, confirming no sign of Rabbit's ships or submarines nearby.

Regarding the ocean depths—

They had two large "black fish" remaining discreet near the crash site but detected no suspicious ships or submarines approaching.

So, when Rabbit presented evidence, the eagle was left speechless.

Since it wasn't Rabbit's doing, they had to continue their search, albeit reluctantly.

They wouldn't leave so soon.

Since the immediate vicinity turned up nothing, they decided to expand the search area.

They continued to apply for more funds from above to salvage the plane.

But the ocean was vast, and they feared they could not explore much more soon.

And each day they delayed, they burned through substantial funds.

Deep-sea salvage was an expensive endeavor.

But there was no alternative; the F35 was their main aircraft; it couldn't end up in others' hands.

Otherwise, that would spell trouble.

This was why, no matter the cost, they had to continue their search.
