After everyone had gathered their belongings, Ye Hao and the others entered Submarine No.1, which also started up at that moment...

"Woo woo~~" The submarine emitted two whistles.

After boarding the submarine, Ye Hao locked the metal section on his back, sealing the submarine hatch behind him.

Su Chenhong and the others looked on excitedly; if this submarine failed, it would be a joke, but if it succeeded, it would be a historic moment. At the very least, Ye Hao's Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Island would completely enter the sights of the Huaxia military.

"Kid, smooth sailing." Su Chenhong shouted loudly.

"Grandpa, you can track our location at Ding Haoyun's workspace. If anything happens, I'll communicate with you through this device." After saying this, Ye Hao completely shut the rear submarine hatch.

Once inside, Ye Hao quickly moved to the front of the submarine, opened the map, and instructed them to hold fast. They needed to wear warming bags as well, because according to the eighth-generation system's prediction, Submarine No.1 would be able to submerge for three hundred kilometers per hour (here we don't use knots because normal navigation speed is calculated in knots, 1 knot = 1.852 km; using speed per hour here is appropriate).

It's faster than many sports cars on land, but of course, such speed also entails great risk. With so many reefs in the South Sea, there's always the possibility of collision at extreme speeds.

"Great! Let go and do it!" Su Chenhong responded loudly.

Submarine No.1 roared for a while before gradually submerging beneath the sea from the wooden frame.

People on the shore watched this historic moment excitedly; this was the nation's first civilian submarine!

Lv Dong and others inside the submarine also looked out the window. Initially, they could still see the sunlight outside, but slowly, all they saw was seawater, turning from blue to light, signifying that Submarine No.1 had begun its descent to the seabed.

Ye Hao's hands rapidly controlled Submarine No.1, extending its eight overseas cameras, as well as a scanning system to calculate where there might be reefs and obstacles.

A series of data quickly came from Ye Hao's hands, and the speed gradually increased.

"Whoosh!"

The submarine swiftly dashed forward, starting at a speed of one hundred, gradually reaching two hundred and fifty, with the speed still increasing...

"Haha! Success, it's a real success."

"Submarine No.1 is so formidable!" The people on Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit island saw the submarine stir waves on the seabed, and although the surface was calm, there was still a very noticeable trace.

Inside Submarine No.1, Xue Zhaolong and others tightly held onto their possessions as the speedily moving submarine definitely tossed them around.

"Brothers, bear with it for a few days, the future Submarine Dragon will absolutely be free from any turbulence and won't require holding onto things. This trip was rushed so we didn't install some necessary equipment." Ye Hao, feet planted steadily on the submarine, said without looking back.

"So thrilling, if I jump, I feel like I'd immediately hit the metal block behind." Qiu San, this black boss, displayed a childish spirit at this moment: so fun.

"Haha, Brother San, why not try jumping?" Xue Zhaolong laughed.

"I won't do that. If I hit the metal block at such speed, even if I don't die, I'd cough up blood." Qiu San said boisterously.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed heartily upon hearing this. Although they were trying to liven the mood, thinking about facing the Philippine Navy in over ten hours, they still felt a bit tense.

Ye Hao also knew they were nervous, but nothing he said would help now. Once they got over their nerves, maybe their courage would grow.

Far away in Huaxia's Yanjing Military Commission courtyard, the generals gathered.

With commanders from seven major military districts present, there were already seven generals, plus military commission members, and even Number One was seated there.

These recent days had truly troubled this group of generals, but alas, they really couldn't issue an order to fight!

"Wenlong, your son Shaoyuan went to join the battle?" Dongfang Shengyang turned his head to look at his companion Xu Wenlong and asked.

"Haha! Of course! If Huaxia's younger generation has Ye Hao, it certainly has my son Xu Shaoyuan too." Xu Wenlong's words praised Ye Hao while also complimenting his own son!

Dongfang Shengyang smiled wryly and said: "I think if my son didn't harbor grudges against Ye Hao, he might also be bravely leading the charge for the country now."

"Haha! Vice Chairman Dongfang, you can rest assured of that. Ye Hao, for all his faults, is broad-minded. If Xuri isn't bothered by his past skirmishes with Ye Hao, I can mediate!" Shangguan Xiaopao laughed.

"Yes, that young man doesn't seem petty; the nation is in trouble, and he doesn't require a single penny from the country. For the sake of our nation, he forgoes sleep to build submarines, all to boost Huaxia's prestige. I feel old!" He Zhen remarked, covering his face in shame.

As Minister of the General Armaments Department, here was a general bested by a young Huaxia lad.

Of course! Sitting in this position also means taking responsibility for Huaxia's people, not letting one person's passion plunge Huaxia into turmoil.

"Report to the general, there's a situation."

"What is it? Report quickly." Being in the navy monitoring area, Naval Commander Qin Jiang asked.

"A video recording just captured an object rapidly moving under the sea, over one hundred meters long and over thirty meters wide, but it only appeared for a few seconds before leaving the video monitoring area." The reporting colonel said.

"Immediately call up the video and play it clearly on screen." Qin Jiang said excitedly, wondering if the submarine, after just an hour underwater, had now reached the South Sea area?

The video image was from the South Sea naval base.

"Yes!"

In just three minutes, the large screen displayed the submarine's rapid submersion.

"This..." The numerous generals and military leaders watching the scene felt incredulous.

With such a submarine, what mechanism could enable its diving? Its large size and lack of preventive measures—aren't they afraid of another country's submarine blowing it up?

"Set up high-definition video at the second base immediately; ensure clear footage is captured..."

"General, there's a situation. A massive, invisible fish just swam near the second base, the system can't analyze its exact appearance."

"What? An invisible fish?" Qin Jiang was taken aback.

Then he instructed to retrieve the video footage. Upon watching it, they noticed nothing visible, but marine life suddenly cleared a path, leaving them puzzled.

He Zhen's eyes flickered, as though he'd realized something... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
