After much commotion, an early-model submarine finally docked at the pier as the military band began performing. A group of officers applauded fervently—after all, this was their nation's first truly… functional submarine.
At last, after paying a hefty price, they now had a direction for their research. Before the submarine arrived, a group of technical experts from the Tang Country had already come here in force by ship.
The entire pier required modernization—after all, a port for submarines is entirely different.
To ensure the submarine could enter and exit stealthily, the pier had to be built near steep cliffs. The cliffs were hollowed out and reinforced with cement, forming a natural fortress.
The site selection itself was a major challenge. If the nation's coast lacked decent terrain suitable for a submarine base, an artificial solution was the only choice.
