Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 219: Fishing for Torpedoes

"Well, Comrade Xiaofu, I was right. You are truly a good comrade who serves the people and the country!"

Zhao Gang was overjoyed, and then whispered, "Comrade Xiaofu, do you really not want to work for me? You have all the experience you need to fish at sea, and being a fisherman here is a waste of your talent!"

Fu Wan smiled and shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, leader. I still prefer being a fisherman. It's free and easy."

Seeing the disappointment on Zhao Gang's face, Fu Wan continued, "But if Leader Zhao needs me in the future, just let me know. I'll definitely agree to help you out!"

Zhao Gang was happy again, and at this moment, Zhao Gang's subordinate Li Jun ran into the yard.

"Director Zhao, there's news from the dock that the camp's boat has arrived."

Zhao Gang nodded, then called Fu Wan, Boss Fu, and Village Chief Fu.

"We'll have to trouble a few comrades to join us."

Boss Fu and Village Chief Fu hurriedly waved their hands, "Of course not! Being able to contribute to such a matter is a matter of honor for our family!"

"You go first, I'll be there soon!"

Only then did Fu Wan have time to go into the house and take out her precious mermaid costume. After changing her clothes, she put on her ordinary clothes as usual, and then hurried to the pier.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were each pulled by Ye Xiaocui and Fu Ming. When Fu Ling saw Fu Wan changed her clothes, she knew that her mother was going out to sea, so she also wanted to go.

"Your mother is out at sea for something. Let's go out to sea together next time!"

Fu Ming calmed Fu Ling down and then took her to the dock.

The dock was very lively at this time, and everyone was pointing at the big ship nearby and talking about it.

"Oh my, this boat is so beautiful! It must be as big as three or four of our fishing boats!"

"Look, there are quite a few people in military uniforms up there, they look so energetic!"

In addition to the people from Fujia Village, there were also many people from the neighboring villages watching the fun. Fu Wan followed Zhao Gang and others, and when she walked over, she found that Bai Qianzhou was also on the dock, and standing next to him were two soldiers with sharp eyes and intimidating faces.

"Zhao Gang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

An older soldier smiled more when he saw Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang immediately saluted him, then said with a smile: "Old leader, I'm busy these days. Please come to my place later!"

The person who was talking to Zhao Gang was the camp’s general manager, Sun Shaoping.

Sun Shaoping waved his hand. "I'm quite busy, too. They're all acquaintances. Who's that young comrade with the diving prowess you mentioned? Introduce him to me first!"

Sun Shaoping has lived for most of his life and has seen many people who are great at diving, but this is the only one who Zhao Gang brags about.

Fu Wan had been silent beside him, but when she heard Sun Shaoping's words, she raised her head and looked at him.

Zhao Gang motioned her forward and then introduced her to Sun Shaoping: "This Comrade Fu Wan is the one I was talking about. She was the one who salvaged the torpedo last time."

After saying this, he looked smug again: "The leader knows about the salvaging of the fake ocean, it was also her!

Upon hearing this, Sun Shaoping looked at Fu Wan, and his eyes, which had originally been intimidating without him being angry, now softened a little.

"Well done, young comrade! Women are just as capable as men!"

Although he did not participate in the fake ocean incident, he mentioned it at the city meeting. He was even more involved in the last torpedo salvage. He also visited the research team yesterday and gained a lot.

Now that he knew all these things were related to the young woman in front of him, how could Sun Shaoping not admire her?

"Your words are too kind. It is my honor to contribute to the country and serve the people!"

Sun Shaoping nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect that a fisherman in this fishing village would have such a high level of awareness.

"Okay, okay, then I'll have to ask Comrade Xiao for help again today!"

After saying that, he walked in front with a few soldiers beside him. Zhao Gang signaled Fu Wan to follow and get on the big ship together.

Standing on the big boat and looking at the sea, it seemed a lot farther away. Boss Fu and Village Chief Fu were also on the boat. Boss Fu was an experienced fisherman himself, and he knew where the sea area Fu Wan went to last time, so he was in the cockpit pointing out the direction for the comrades who were driving the boat.

Village chief Fu stood outside the cockpit, looking at Boss Fu with envy. This kid could even touch the rudder of this big ship. He was an old man of such an old age, and this was his first time riding on such a big ship.

When Bai Qianzhou came out of the cabin, he saw Fu Wan standing on the deck looking at the scenery.

"What are you looking at?"

Fu Wan was startled by him, "Nothing, just looking around."

Bai Qianzhou looked at her worriedly: "The seabed is dangerous, do you really want to go down alone?"

This meant that he didn't believe her. Fu Wan shrugged, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"I was the one who rescued you from the sea. Besides, all I need to do is tie up the fishing net. The rest will be taken care of by the comrades on the boat."

Seeing Fu Wan's confident look, Bai Qianzhou said nothing more.

His diving ability is average, and his medical skills are decent. If anything happens to Fu Wan, he will be the first to rescue her. However, it would be best if it is not necessary.

As they were talking, the big ship had already arrived at the sea area where Fu Wan had been operating before. As expected, the speed of the big ship was incomparable to that of an ordinary fishing boat. It took Boss Fu almost an hour to drive the boat to this sea area, but this big ship only took half an hour.

"Comrade Xiaofu, what should we do now?"

Sun Shaoping asked people to take out all the salvaging equipment on the ship. Fu Wan took the deep-sea fishing device and looked at it.

The deep-sea fishing devices of this era were still very simple, consisting of several thick and long hemp ropes tied into a circle, with a mechanical device connected to the other end.

Fu Wan's task was to dive down and find the torpedo, then use a hemp rope to hook the torpedo around it. When the device on the ship felt the heavy weight, it would start working like a net-lifting machine until the object on the hemp rope was lifted onto the deck by a crane.

"Leader Sun, I'll go down and take a look. If the torpedo hasn't moved, it should be in this area."

Sun Shaoping nodded in agreement. Boss Fu and Village Chief Fu were also on the deck. Fu Wan waved to them, then went down to the sea surface along the rope ladder on the boat, and then swam to the bottom of the sea with the hemp rope.

The weather was good today, and visibility on the sea was very high. Sun Shaoping, Zhao Gang, and others stood on the deck, watching Fu Wan disappear in the sea without blinking.

"This little comrade is like a fish when he enters the sea!"

"Isn't it? I felt the same way when I first saw it!"

Sun Shaoping watched the hemp rope getting shorter and shorter, and knew that Fu Wan was swimming deeper into the sea.

The hemp rope of the deep-sea fishing device was tied to Fu Wan's waist. They were afraid that Fu Wan could not hold on, and the hemp rope could pull Fu Wan back in time.

After about twenty minutes, all the hemp ropes on the ship were pulled into the sea, and Fu Wan quickly found the torpedo.

This guy didn't move, but lurked there silently like a dangerous deep-sea giant.
