In truth, this world's research into aircraft had not appeared out of nowhere, any more than research into submarines had.

Before submarines could be used in warfare, various countries had already conducted research into them. Some engineering and utility submarine technologies had even become highly mature.

They could carry out all kinds of missions in complex underwater environments. It was just that no one had ever thought of applying them to the military field.

Individual researchers did not have the money to do this. They could not afford to build an entire submarine, let alone several submarines, to complete their research.

The military also saw no strategic or tactical significance in submarines that moved slowly underwater, perhaps only a little faster than a human could swim.

By the time one reached the designated battlefield, the fleets on both sides might already have finished fighting and returned home.

Thus, every country overlooked the immense value of submarines. It was not that they had none, nor that nobody researched them. It was simply that under many complicated circumstances, they were not the choice of the era.
