Cool story, but I’ma need some sources for these points. Submarines, for example, predate HG Wells by a lot. They even predate the other major novel about one, by Jules Verne. I absolutely agree that fiction sparks innovation, but let’s use sourced examples instead of just throwing stuff out there.
They made a mistake by just saying submarine. HG Wells wrote about a man exploring the ocean in a sphere. It was written in 1896. In the 1930s, the bathysphere was created. I don’t know if they were inspired by his story or if it was a coincidence, but it’s pretty cool either way!
