The salvage ship sprang into action, gradually tightening dozens of steel cables and slowly lifting the submerged aircraft to the surface.
As the vessel worked diligently, the nearby light warships remained still, and their naval officers watched intently, one even using a telescope to observe every detail.
"Can you believe there's a C-17 transport plane down there?"
Remarked one naval officer.
"I hope that our country can develop a transport aircraft that's equivalent to the C-17 as soon as possible," another officer added.
Clearly, the military officers were filled with hope and an urgent need for advanced military transport aircraft.
Meanwhile, Sun Jian appeared calm on the surface, but he was the fairest of all, brimming with excitement, expectation, and other emotions.
