Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

"Not only that."

Su Wanzheng pointed to a row of black cars parked on the roadside in the distance.

"If I'm not mistaken, the license plates on those cars belong to my family. I guess they're bodyguards and a convoy sent by my family."

Alright, even the bodyguard convoy of top-tier wealthy families has arrived.

This is top-notch!

Guided by the coast guard vessel, the fishing boat slowly approached its designated berth.

"Everyone, get ready! Pack your things! Get ready to disembark!"

At Lin Mo's command, all the crew members immediately sprang into action, both excited and nervous.

The moment the fishing boat docked smoothly at the pier and the gangplank was put up, the entire port was instantly ignited!

"Mo Shen! Mo Shen is back!"

"Ahhh! God of Mo, look here!"

Flashbulbs went off like crazy, and cheers were deafening.

Lin Mo stepped off the diving board first, waved casually, and greeted the enthusiastic fans.

A tall young man in a coast guard uniform immediately walked through the crowd and quickly approached, his face full of resentment.

"Hey Lin Mo, Captain Lin! You're finally back!"

The newcomer was none other than Qi Lei, the captain of the Coast Guard.

He grabbed Lin Mo's arm, shook it hard, and said through gritted teeth.

"Do you even know what happened?! Because of you, our entire Coast Guard has been working overtime for 48 hours straight!"

"I've been working non-stop! My eyes are almost blind!"

Lin Mo patted his shoulder, looking completely innocent.

"Captain Qi, you've worked hard. But this really isn't my fault. I was adrift at sea with no signal at all, and I only just found out."

"I don't care! You have to treat me to dinner this time! No, you have to treat the whole team to dinner! And it has to be the highest standard!"

Qi Lei persisted relentlessly.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Lin Mo readily agreed, then waved his hand behind him.

"Brothers, bring our 'foreign friends' down and hand them over to Captain Qi."

Soon, Vosk and several other mercenaries, who were also bound tightly, were escorted down by the crew.

Upon seeing these people, Qi Lei's expression immediately turned serious, and he waved to the team members behind him.

"Take him away! Keep a close watch on him!"

Coast Guard officers immediately stepped forward and took the suspect away.

Just as he finished dealing with this, a middle-aged man with glasses and a refined demeanor squeezed through the crowd and headed straight for Lin Mo.

"Comrade Lin Mo, hello! I'm from the research department!"

The middle-aged man excitedly grasped Lin Mo's hand.

"Um... where are the autonomous underwater vehicle you salvaged, and the tail section of that tactical reconnaissance aircraft now?"

"Is it convenient for us to receive this?"

"Of course the item is there."

Lin Mo nodded at him, her face showing no particular expression.

"But there are too many people on the ship right now, so I'll have my men deliver it to you later."

"Okay, okay! No rush!"

The middle-aged man, Professor Zhang from the research department, rubbed his hands together excitedly.

His eyes gleamed as he stared at the weathered fishing boat, his gaze as if he were looking at a naked beauty.

"Comrade Lin Mo, you have once again rendered a great service to the country!"

Professor Zhang adjusted his glasses, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"We've been searching for that autonomous underwater vehicle for a long time without any leads, but you managed to retrieve it!"

"And the tail section of that F-22... My God, this is firsthand research data!"

Lin Mo remained quite calm about this.

He shouted towards the ship.

"Brothers, carefully lower those two big guys down and hand them over to Professor Zhang's men."

"Alright, Mo Shen!"

The crew readily agreed and immediately began operating the ship's small crane.

Soon, the autonomous underwater vehicle and the tail of the fighter jet were completely wrapped in cables and tarpaulins.

It was then slowly hoisted onto the dock.

The people from the research institute rushed forward and carefully lifted the waterproof cloth, revealing the metal object inside that smelled of seawater.

"Quick! Quick! Prepare the cleanroom!"

"Check the structural integrity! Be careful not to damage any electronic components!"

"Data acquisition equipment must keep up!"

Professor Zhang and his team instantly got to work, issuing a constant stream of technical terms and instructions.

His focus and fervor caused onlookers to instinctively step back.

Professor Zhang gave instructions for a while, then quickly walked back to Lin Mo's side, his gaze falling on Lin Mo's fishing boat.

He walked halfway around the bow of the ship, looking at the several obvious impact dents, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Comrade Lin Mo, your ship... I see it's been damaged a bit in this operation."

Professor Zhang pushed up his glasses, his expression serious.

Have you ever thought about... upgrading it?

"upgrade?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Oh? How do I upgrade?"

"Our research department can provide you with comprehensive technical support!"

Professor Zhang becomes radiant when he talks about his field of expertise.

"First and foremost, we need to reinforce it! You got hit this time, what about next time?"

"We can't keep suffering this loss! We must thicken the hull for you, using our latest composite armor material!"

He stretched out his finger and made a forceful sweeping motion in the air.

"Head! We'll install a reinforced ram for you!"

"I promise, if anyone dares to bump into you again, I'll teach them a lesson about what it means to be an egg hitting a rock!"

Lin Mo especially liked it.

"Okay, I agree to that."

"Secondly!"

Seeing that Lin Mo agreed, Professor Zhang became even more enthusiastic. He lowered his voice and spoke with a hint of mystery.

"We can install high-voltage electric grid deployment devices on both sides of the ship!"

"Electric grid?"

"Yes! Think about it, you've captured them alive this time, what if they fight back desperately in the water?"

"Our device, activated with a single button, can instantly create a high-voltage electric grid around the ship's hull!"

"Don't even mention a human, even a shark would be electrocuted and rolled belly-up!"

Professor Zhang chuckled and added.

"We can also use this to... electrofish, to generate some extra income! It's green, environmentally friendly, and honest!"

Lin Mo liked it even more.

"Okay, add this one too."

"Finally! And most importantly!"

Professor Zhang's expression became more serious than ever before.

"Radar! The civilian radar on your ship has a detection range of barely one nautical mile. It's so outdated! It's practically blind!"

He waved his hand and said decisively.

"We'll upgrade to military-grade equipment! Our detection range will extend to ten nautical miles!"

"Within ten nautical miles, not a single rustling sound, not even a fish farting, will escape your notice!"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

With this, his safety and initiative on the vast ocean will experience a qualitative leap!

"Professor Zhang, how long will this huge project take to complete?"

"One week!"

Professor Zhang held up one finger.

Lin Mo nodded heavily.

"Then I'll have to trouble Professor Zhang!"

Just as Lin Mo and Professor Zhang finalized the fishing boat conversion plan, another group of people squeezed in.
