82 A Fake Nuclear Submarine (1/2)
”Across Southeast Asia? My house is in the Zhongyun city,” Chen Fan said. ”I couldn't possibly move to Burma.”
”What if you are wanted by the public?” Chen Shuguang said, ”The risk of doing this doesn't need my explanation. If you can't stay here, you can go to Southeast Asia. Don't mention the police since it's useless even if the Interpol goes there.”
”Well, let me give you a simple briefing on my background!” Chen Fan looked up. ”I can run anywhere in this business, but my ship can't be exposed because it has a lot of problems. I'm afraid the government will do everything possible to take my life if it gets out.”
”That serious?”
”Yes, that's why I try to hide my ship's whereabouts.”
Chen Shuguang was puzzled at first, then paused for two seconds, and began to breathe rapidly. ”Bro, tell me the truth. Did you use a submarine to smuggle it? I heard that over the last two years, this method was very popular, especially in the United States. The drug dealers specialized in manufacturing miniature submarine carriers, only revealing its tip while sailing at sea. They would immediately submerge in the water once they encountered the anti-smuggling Customs or Navy.”
In a change of tone, Chen Shuguang said, ”The last time you asked me to throw the cargo into the sea, I was wondering, why were you acting so mysterious instead of just going to the dock and loading up the goods?”
”This...” Chen Fan rubbed his forehead hard, ruminating, did not answer Chen Shuguang.
Chen Shuguang's words, like an enlightenment, pushed open a brand-new door that led him to a new world.
First of all, it was extremely unrealistic to pretend that the black electric eel was a submarine even at night. The body and steel texture were completely different, and which country's submarine would sail in an s-type swing like the eel while sailing?
What really inspired Chen Fan was...
The process of making a mini-submarine was not complicated, and it could be said that any larger shipyard could make one.
Chen Fan had once read in the news that said: The Guangdong province had seized a high performance, completely sealed, bulletproof submersible ship that definitely would leave the customs in the dust.
The ship was not only welded to a turtle shell shape with a high hardness plate but the ship's bow was also fitted with two specially designed collision angles, which were particularly used to strike the Coast Guard vessel.
That fact that was even more shocking was that the ship could sink to the bottom of the sea to avoid being traced, and its power system was a turbocharged engine with a total of 1,200 horsepower. You could definitely get rid of 99 percent of the Coast Guard vessels with a speed as high as 50 knots.
The submarines made by the drug dealers were even more advanced, usually only showing the tip of the boat on the surface of the water. Once they entered the American territorial waters, they would submerge under the water and come out of the water when they landed on the shore to unload their goods. The extent of its insidious nature could make the crew of the Coast Guard vessel go mad to the point of vomiting blood.
Although the submarine was unable to avoid the detection and attack of a warship, courage and luck were needed to be in this field. The sea was vast but do you think warships were really like fish, and that they would be everywhere?
Even the United States, the world's most adept country at detecting smugglers who use submarines, claimed emphatically that the tiny submarines were simply too impossible to guard against. It could be seen that smuggling using a submarine was indeed a transporter that had the highest security in this field. Why not make a submarine model to cover the electric eel's whereabouts? As long as he could find a processing factory that could make things using the panel to weld a large submarine model, that would be good.
As for the waterproof submarines, power, pressure, distance and security problem, all of these need not be considered, because the electric eel was the one that would pull the submarine, and not the submarine pulling the electric eel. Thinking about this made Chen Fan excited. It would not only be more glamorous when the electric eel dragged a fake submarine, but even the problem of the electric eel being exposed, which Chen Fan was most worried about, would be solved.
Even the person who has high jump thinking skills wouldn't be able to guess that the submarine was a completely empty shell. The real, whole dynamic system was actually a sea monster of over fifty meters long.
