In the cabin, Chen Yuan shrank down and took out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Yan Xiaoxi.
"Are you sleeping?"
"Not yet." Yan Xiaoxi texted back: "Are you leaving?"
"On the boat. After a while, the mobile phone will not receive the signal." Chen Yuan typed: "It's so late, why don't you sleep."
"Can't sleep."
"You're thinking of me." Chen Yuan smiled.
Yan Xiaoxi also sent a cute animation, which is a fierce little fox: "I didn't miss you."
"Go to bed early, don't you have to go to class tomorrow?"
"I'm sleeping now. I hope you will gain a lot from this trip to sea."
"When the fishing boat comes back, I'll call you in advance and come over to eat fish."
"Okay. Are you resting or working?"
"Rest." Chen Yuan typed.
"Go to bed early, I'm going to bed too. Good night."
"Good night."
Chen Yuan closed WeChat, opened the photo album on his mobile phone, and looked at Yan Xiaoxi's beautiful black stocking photos, pure and lustful, and extremely beautiful.
"Hey, it's late at night and you're not sleeping yet?" Zhou Sheng turned around and said with a smile: "I'll definitely be back soon after going to sea this time. I just won't be able to talk on the phone for a few days."
"Singles like you don't understand the pain of separation." Chen Yuan turned around and said.
"Guawazi..."
Chen Yuan chuckled and fell asleep accompanied by Yan Xiaoxi's beautiful photos.
I slept until after eight o'clock.
When he woke up, Zhou Sheng had already left the sleeping cabin.
Chen Yuan also got up from the bed, put on his clothes, washed and climbed up the ladder.
"Get up." Yang Xun greeted.
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, stretched, took out his mobile phone and put it on the bridge to charge: "Where are you?"
"We have passed the Shenhu Sea and have not yet reached the edge of the continental shelf." Yang Xun said.
Chen Yuan said 'hmm': "Stop the boat, turn on the stabilizer, and have breakfast."
"Okay." Yang Xun slowly turned off the engine and turned on the gyro stabilizer of the fishing boat.
Zhou Sheng and the others were trolling behind.
"Why did the ship stop?" Zhou Sheng said.
"Stop fishing, get food to eat. Don't forget the purpose of our coming out this time." Chen Yuan said.
"It won't take much trouble to go out and fish for a while." Zhou Sheng said and put away the fishing rod.
"What do you want to eat in the morning?" Chen Yuan said.
Zhou Sheng chuckled and said, "Shall I give it to you?"
"roll."
Chen Yuan took out the battery stove and poured water into it.
Zhou Sheng took out the noodles and began to prepare the ingredients: "Can you eat spicy food?"
He Fei shook his head: "You can't eat spicy food."
"My hometown is Guizhou, and the handsome guys from Guizhou have similar tastes to yours," Yang Xun said.
"Old Biao, you're out."
"Hahaha……"
Zhou Sheng went back and took out the ingredients.
This trip was for work, not for vacation. Working at sea, especially on a fishing boat, life is simple.
This time, Chen Yuan and the others brought three cans of lard with them, as well as a can of sesame seeds fried by Chen Yuan himself. The sesame seeds were submerged in the lard and were not easy to spoil.
And this fishing boat also has a small freezer. The small freezer is not for freezing, but it can be cooled and kept fresh.
Lard, sesame seeds, and two cans of secret seasoning.
Seasonings include chili peppers, green chili peppers, fine Sichuan peppercorns, and various spices. This seasoning can be used for cooking, bibimbap, fish, or stir-fry. However, the shelf life is not long.
Boil the water and start cooking.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng are both big eaters, and they filled a large bowl.
He Fei and the others only ate half of the pot.
"It tastes good," Yang Xun said.
"It tastes better if you add more sesame seeds." Zhou Sheng said.
The sea outside was very calm, and with the stabilizer turned on, the fishing boat only shook slightly.
The clouds in the sky are very low and the color of the clouds is not white.
"Will it be windy today?" Zhou Sheng said.
"Probably." Chen Yuandao.
"The weather forecast says this"
After dinner, Chen Yuan went to check the fuel gauge.
This trip will definitely be full of fuel, 1670 liters.
I also brought 4 large barrels and 2 small barrels of diesel.
The large bucket is 100 liters and the small bucket is 50 liters, totaling 500 liters.
Inside the barrel is spare oil.
Spare oil should be used as little as possible if possible.
At the cruising speed of the fishing boat, the fuel consumption per hour is about 57 liters. It set off early last night and it is now 8:30, which means it has been running for eight and a half hours.
With 1,670 liters of fuel, at constant cruising speed, it can run for 29 hours, which is about 580 nautical miles.
Converted to kilometers, 1070 kilometers.
Chen Yuan looked at the chart and found that the current location was at the edge of the continental shelf.
"How do you find fish on the sea?" He Fei said.
"Observe with your eyes." Chen Yuan said: "Generally speaking, there are many fish in areas where ocean currents meet. I don't know much about the South China Sea. I just look around and wander around."
"It's very simple. Find the seabirds first, and then chase them. There is a high probability that you will find fish schools." Zhou Sheng said.
Schools of fish may not necessarily follow the ocean currents.
If you want to find schools of fish in the vast ocean, the best way is to look for them through seabirds.
Everyone who finds fish has his or her own tricks.
Chen Yuan even heard that some people can find schools of fish through the smell coming from the wind.
When the fishing boat goes against the wind, I heard that the smell of fish can carry far away. This sounds very mysterious, but it is not impossible.
Then there is the observation from a high place, or technology.
In the South China Sea, technology is a tough job. But when it comes to finding fish schools in the vast ocean, technology alone is far from enough.
As Lin Xinhai said, there are many fishing boats in the South China Sea.
There are indeed many fish at the intersection of ocean currents, but everyone knows those locations and there are many fishing boats.
It is possible to make money in those positions, but it is difficult to make big money.
If you want to get good results, you can't take the ordinary path. To put it bluntly, you just try your luck and look everywhere.
Zhou Sheng was playing with the drone outside: "How to do this?"
Chen Yuan walked over and assembled the drone. There is an external arm under the drone, which can just be used to fix the remote sensor of the remote sensing fish detector. Turn on the control and control the drone to take off...
This drone is very big and flies very fast.
It was also the first time for He Fei and the others to see something like a remote sensing fish detector, and they put their heads together curiously.
This set of remote sensing equipment is quite good and can even scan the topography of the seabed.
"No fish?" Yang Xun said.
"This is a remote sensing device. Fish will not be displayed on the screen. To judge whether there are fish, you have to look at the ripples below." Chen Yuan said.
If there are very few fish, the sensitivity will be poor. If there are schools of fish gathering, the sensitivity will be strong.
Chen Yuan controlled the drone to fly for a while, and then controlled it to fly towards the Shenhu Sands. There were more fish in the direction of the Shenhu Sands, but those fish did not gather.
Remote sensing technology is based on the theory of electromagnetic waves and uses sensing instruments to collect, process and present electromagnetic wave information radiated and reflected by distant targets on a display.
Chen Yuan's system is specially used for remote sensing of offshore fishing vessels, mainly to collect biological information.
This device can only be used to determine the approximate size of fish schools in a large area, but not the exact location of fish. To put it bluntly, it is a device used to find fish schools.
If you are going fishing at sea, remote sensing fish detectors are of little use.
