The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 335 - 207: Sea Divination: Today... (Please Subscribe)

"We’d like to ask you to help us fish something out for us, an experimental satellite."

"The satellite encountered some malfunctions during the recovery process, which caused it to deviate significantly from our planned recovery point and fall into the sea."

"We’ve sent people to the crash site in the ocean to salvage it, but to no avail; no trace of the satellite has been found on the ocean floor."

"We’ve tried several methods, but none have worked, and we still haven’t found it."

"The experimental satellite is of great importance to us, there are some new instruments and new materials for our tests inside, so we thought we could make use of your ability and see if you could try fishing it out."

The two members from the Aerospace Department explained their purpose to Fang Hao.

They wanted Fang Hao to help them fish out an experimental satellite.

Needless to say, their purpose was no trivial matter – they were talking about fishing a satellite out of space.

Though they knew the approximate area where the satellite fell into the sea, their salvage attempts had failed to retrieve the malfunctioning satellite.

This posed a difficulty for them, as the experimental satellite contained something very important to them.

Fortunately, having learned that Fang Hao possessed a special ability to fish anything out of the water, they sought him out, as a desperate measure.

Fang Hao’s ability gave them hope.

Hence this visit.

"This..."

After hearing their request, Fang Hao felt a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn’t a small challenge, after all.

He could fish out all sorts of strange things, but... to specifically fish out a designated object? He didn’t have such ability.

The idea of comfortably fishing out a satellite, honestly, Fang Hao didn’t have the confidence for that.

He didn’t believe he could definitely do it.

Whatever he had fished out before was purely by chance.

"If you have any ideas or requests, just let us know. We’ll meet them if we can," said the other party, noticing Fang Hao hesitating to speak and promptly adding.

"I don’t really have any requirements, it’s just... I’ll be straightforward, I’m not confident I can definitely fish out a satellite."

"Although you’ve seen me fish and have witnessed me pulling up detectors, airplanes, and such, those were all under very random and unpredictable circumstances. I caught them by chance."

"I don’t have the ability to control what I can fish out."

"So regarding your request, I’m not 100% sure I can promise you."

Fang Hao spoke the blunt truth; he didn’t want to overstate his abilities or claim he could fish out anything.

That’s definitely not realistic.

And since he was dealing with people from the Aerospace Department, there was no need for Fang Hao to beat around the bush with pleasantry.

The two Aerospace Department members exchanged glances; they obviously didn’t expect Fang Hao to respond like this.

But this situation was, in fact, quite normal.

They understood.

"We had considered the situation you described before."

"But to be honest, we don’t have many other options at this point."

"Right now, we’ll try any possible method."

"Even if there’s only a one percent chance, we’re willing to attempt it."

The people from the Aerospace Department also expressed their thoughts.

They came to Fang Hao with an attitude of giving it a try.

It would be great if it worked.

If not...

Then they’d have to look for other solutions.

Now that things had come to this point, it wasn’t easy for Fang Hao to refuse any further.

After all, this could be seen as contributing to the country and was a meaningful task.

Besides, he was only accepting a commission; he would still be free to act without restrictions.

This was also a reason for Fang Hao’s agreement.

No need to join any department.

Speaking of which, he did remember someone from a special talent research office once trying to recruit him to join them.

He hadn’t agreed then, concerned about the possibility of restricted movement after joining, and having to clock in and out for work like everybody else – that would be troublesome.

Accustomed to freedom, he couldn’t stand such a lifestyle.

Forget it, he wouldn’t think about that now.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."

"Thank you very much."

"We hope that with you taking charge, everything will go smoothly."

The Aerospace Department members were delighted to hear Fang Hao’s agreement.

"So when do we set off?"

"The sooner the better. We’ll coordinate with other departments and are likely to depart this afternoon."

"Okay."

They shook hands.

The other party was very grateful and went to make arrangements afterward.

To organize support for Fang Hao’s satellite fishing.

Once the others left, Xiao Pang couldn’t help but ask Fang Hao.

Xiao Pang had been stunned upon hearing that they were going to fish for a satellite.

Goodness, this was about fishing for a satellite, something from space.

Can that even be fished?

His worldview was once again being challenged.

Since following Fang Hao, he had seen all sorts of things.

"Hao Ge, how confident are you about fishing this satellite?"

"Less than ten percent, I guess."

Fang Hao offered a rather optimistic estimate.

"Eh?"

Xiao Pang was stunned upon hearing this; with such low odds, yet he still agreed.

Wasn’t that... what?

"So we’re still going to help?"

"But what can we do? At least there’s a little bit of hope."

Fang Hao shook his head.

Having spent a long time at sea, he was very aware of the immense difficulties in retrieving an item from the ocean.

And with the satellite having crashed due to a malfunction, having not fallen in the predestined spot, and plunged into the sea instead, no one knew the exact location, only a rough area.
