The discussion among the high-ranking officials abruptly ceased.
They looked at the images transmitted from the submarine and realized it might not be as simple as they had thought.
As a nation surrounded by sea, they were all too familiar with marine-related matters.
Based on their knowledge, it was highly unlikely for such a scenario to occur on the seabed.
It was indeed very likely caused by external forces.
Human intervention could not be ruled out.
They quickly approved the submarine's continued exploration.
The many naval leaders in the command room were also very curious about this issue.
They felt it was very likely the act of some marine creature, with a small chance that it might be a special weapon sent by another country into their territorial waters.
In any case, there was certainly a need to get to the bottom of this.
