Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Chapter 242: Bravely Climbing the Technology Tree Chapter 511: Chapter 242: Bravely Climbing the Technology Tree The journalists encountered a horrifying incident at sea on their first voyage, but they were not discouraged. They rented a more advanced cruise ship and set out to sea again, continuing to head toward Misty Island.

Unfortunately, when the journalists' cruise ship approached within 1000 nautical miles of Misty Island again, its propeller was once more entangled in abandoned fishing nets in the sea. After the crew finally cleared the propeller of the fishing nets, the cruise ship unexpectedly ran aground. This grounding caused the ship's hull to suffer serious damage, which even risked the ship capsizing, hence the cruise ship had no choice but to return to port.

As a result, the journalists were somewhat puzzled. Was their luck really that bad? Despite this, they were very persistent and did not give up on going to Misty Island. They rented another cruise ship to Misty Island, and just as this ship entered the 1000 nautical mile radius of Misty Island, the propeller was once again entangled in fishing nets, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Once the propeller issue was resolved and they proceeded forward again, the cruise ship encountered even more bizarre problems that prevented it from continuing. However, as soon as this cruise ship left this area and headed back toward Japan, no problems occurred with the ship at all.

The journalists found this very strange, so they consulted Japan's most famous ocean expert. After inspecting the ocean currents in that area and learning about the various incidents that had occurred in the nearby waters in recent years, the expert finally came to a conclusion. It was that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake had occurred along the coast of Fukushima, Japan, which had triggered a massive tsunami. The tsunami had washed a lot of garbage from the towns into the sea, including a large amount of fishing nets.

Then this garbage started to drift along the ocean currents towards the east side of Japan, and the area where accidents frequently occurred was right in the path of the garbage created by Japan's earthquake. Thus, vessels sailing in that area had a high chance of encountering debris drifting from the direction of Fukushima, which explained the various obstacles they faced.

With the expert's explanation, the journalists had an epiphany and fairly agreed with this analysis. However, the expert could not explain why the ships did not encounter this garbage on their way back, and in the end, the expert could only attribute it to luck.

Even though an expert had explained some of their questions, the journalists still had many doubts. Ships from Dream Transportation passed through here without any issues, not encountering any garbage. Why did their own ships encounter this debris belt as soon as they set out? Was their luck really so bad that they would step in dog poop as soon as they left the house?

Since this route was blocked, the journalists began to look for other solutions. Soon, a journalist thought of the idea of renting an airplane to approach Misty Island for observation. However, Misty Island was over 1000 nautical miles from Japan, and ordinary helicopters couldn't make it near Misty Island due to their range, so they decided to rent a large seaplane instead.

These journalists took off from the sea surface on the rented seaplane, flying towards Misty Island. The seaplane's flight was initially very smooth, but as it reached the airspace 500 nautical miles from Misty Island and entered into a bank of dark clouds, various equipment on the plane began to malfunction. First, the radar failed, displaying nothing but static on the screen. Then, the GPS on the airplane malfunctioned, making it impossible to determine the plane's position. Finally, the communication device was filled with static noise and nothing else could be heard.

The pilot was startled and quickly maneuvered the plane out of the dark clouds, but all the equipment continued to malfunction. The plane's radar, GPS, and communication devices were completely inoperative, making the continued flight very dangerous. With no other choice, the seaplane had to return. Fortunately, the pilot was experienced and managed to determine the direction by visually estimating the position of the sun, and flew the plane back near Japan. As soon as the airplane entered near Japan, the radar, GPS and communication devices all returned to normal.

These journalists were dumbfounded by this situation. Had they brought their bad luck at sea into the sky? After the second rented seaplane they used also encountered the same issues at the 500 nautical mile distance from Misty Island, the news that they were cursed spread, and no more planes were willing to carry them to that airspace. Thus, the journalists' idea of renting an airplane to investigate Misty Island also failed.

In fact, the accidents that the journalists encountered were not simply coincidental, but Yan Fei had been secretly manipulating behind the scenes. Misty Island would definitely face the world in the future, but it was not yet finished and was in a confidential stage, so Yan Fei had to keep this construction activity secret. If Misty Island's actual situation was exposed too early, it would put him in the line of fire, and various people and forces eager to reap the benefits would swarm there.

Therefore, in order to maintain absolute secrecy, Yan Fei would activate the Drone Quantum Radar at regular intervals to scan the surrounding sea area and airspace, grasping all movements within a 1000 nautical mile radius.

Once the Quantum Radar detected a ship heading towards Misty Island Sea Area from the sea surface, a drone would head out to intercept it. Changing its shape to enter the water and submerge, it would then follow beneath the ships, throwing out old and torn fishing nets prepared from the Universal Space and entangling the ships' propellers with these nets. If the ships continued to move forward, the drone would fire its Naval Cannon at key parts of the ship, causing damage to them.
