"Afraid!" Joseph Biden snorted, "The Third and Fifth Fleets were no match for him. Why would he be afraid?"
Smith Lunen quickly explained, "Mr. President, I admit that China's new secret weapon is indeed very powerful, but the more powerful something is, the more difficult it is to manufacture."
"They have already sunk three fleets, hundreds of ships. Even if there are any left, there won't be many. They released this now because they fear we will continue the sea blockade plan and completely isolate China on land."
"I see," Joseph Biden suddenly understood, then forcefully grabbed Smith Lunen's shoulder, "Smith, this is probably my last chance. The impeachment proposal has already been submitted to Congress."
"I don't have time to wait for the sea blockade plan to be completed. To save my life and not end up with a brain like Kennedy's, I must decisively thwart China's plan and make them suffer even more than us."
"You immediately notify the remaining carrier fleets. China's East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea fleets – leave none behind, sink them all!"
Smith Lunen looked troubled, "Mr. President, because the Third and Fifth Fleets were sunk after encountering China's fleet, the remaining carrier fleets are scared. They dare not go..."
"It's just sinking a few ships, and they're scared? Cowards! A bunch of cowards! They don't deserve to be called soldiers!"
Joseph Biden cursed loudly. After several curses, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, the Third and Fifth Fleets were sunk because Jing Mingqiu secretly applied a catalyst to them."
"They can have people sneak underwater to attack our warships. We can completely use their own methods against them. Smith, go to Area 51 and release our newly modified bio-monsters."
"Although we don't have a catalyst, we can directly blast a big hole in the bottom of their ships. I don't believe they still won't sink!"
"Yes, Mr. President!"
While the United States was busy plotting, on Jing Mingqiu's side, the North Sea Fleet successfully reached its designated position and, according to the original plan, began to deploy floating islands to prepare for land reclamation, turning this area into an exclave of China.
Jing Mingqiu sat at the bow, fishing, while watching the soldiers of China's North Sea Fleet operate massive machinery, carefully inserting hundreds of wrist-thick steel bars straight into the seawater.
The hundred-meter-long steel bars were swallowed by the seawater in the blink of an eye, without a single splash.
"Not enough, still not enough, keep adding, keep adding!"
The depth of the ocean far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. The average height of land is only 860 meters, while the average depth of the ocean exceeds 3,000 meters, reaching a terrifying 3,680 meters.
The Pacific Ocean, as the deepest ocean on Blue Star, has an average depth of nearly 4,000 meters. Even though they chose the highest possible points on the seabed before reclamation, the average depth still exceeded 2,000 meters.
It is worth noting that the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, is only 828 meters tall, less than half of the average depth.
"Professor Jing," a person named Qu Zhixue from the construction team walked over, looking troubled, "I know I shouldn't doubt your ability. However, the Pacific Ocean is too deep, and coupled with the influence of underwater currents, reclaiming land here is as difficult as reaching the heavens."
Jing Mingqiu laughed heartily, "Engineer Qu, for ancient people, reaching the heavens was indeed difficult. But with technological development, any Chinese citizen can now reach the heavens at any time, as long as they have the money."
Qu Zhixue looked anxious, "Professor Jing, what time is it? You're still making jokes. Inserting steel bars first, then pouring cement and gravel to fix them, this method is only suitable for building bridge piers in rivers. Using it to build land from the sea is a complete waste of resources."
"This is indeed a waste of resources," to Qu Zhixue's surprise, Jing Mingqiu did not deny it, but readily admitted his point, "However, this is not futile. I have my reasons for arranging it this way."
As Qu Zhixue was about to ask more, Jing Mingqiu patted his shoulder and said earnestly.
"A soldier's duty is obedience. If too many people know certain secrets, then they are no longer secrets. I don't doubt your loyalty to the country, but with so many people in the North Sea Fleet, can you guarantee there are no traitors among them?"
Jing Mingqiu's aura completely suppressed Qu Zhixue. Standing together, one could not tell that Jing Mingqiu was just a college student who had just finished the college entrance examination, while Qu Zhixue was a veteran of ten years of service.
"I apologize, Professor Jing. It was my oversight! I've caused you trouble."
After Qu Zhixue gave a serious military salute, he left with a look of shame.
After watching him leave, Jing Mingqiu glanced at the GPS navigation satellite thousands of miles away, flicked his wrist, cast out his extended fishing rod, and continued fishing at the bow...
Unknowingly, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
With the efforts of the North Sea Fleet, more than ten steel bars, connected end to end, finally reached the seabed, and they were now trying to pour concrete into them.
In contrast, Jing Mingqiu's catch was a bit dismal. Due to the constant construction nearby, large schools of fish had fled, and after fishing for a week, the largest he caught was a clownfish the size of his palm.
Qu Zhixue couldn't bear to watch and cautiously approached, "Professor Jing, why don't you change your spot? There are no fish schools here. According to sonar, there is a school of bluefin tuna migrating to the east."
"No, no need!" Jing Mingqiu waved his hand, picked up his empty fishing hook, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "The big fish have already taken the bait. Now is the time to reel them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Qu Zhixue could speak again, the North Sea Fleet suddenly erupted in chaos.
"Not good, there's water! Hurry and put out the fire!"
"Disaster! Disaster! Someone has punched a big hole in the bottom of the ship, all watertight compartments have cracked, and the ship is about to sink!"
"There are enemies on board, alert! Red alert!"
Gunshots, shouts, and the sound of burning flames filled the air.
Amidst this chaos, Jing Mingqiu accurately located the strange creatures that were causing great damage at the bottom of the flagship.
It was covered all over with dark scales, even its face was covered with scales, with only a slit on its neck revealing deep purple gills, making it look very disgusting.
These creatures, in groups of three to five, were using crude tools to carve out large holes in the bottom of the ships.
"Tsk tsk," Jing Mingqiu frowned and shook his head, "They are truly ugly. Did those scientists in the United States consider the possibility of mental pollution when they were researching them?"
"Special forces team, hand these guys over to you. Hurry up and capture them!"
"Yes!"
Over twenty special forces soldiers who had been secretly protecting Jing Mingqiu immediately rushed out wearing mechs. In a flash, they dealt with all the monsters in the blink of an eye.
However, by this time, several warships of China's North Sea Fleet, whose ship bottoms were first breached, had already half-submerged into the sea and were about to sink!
