Inflatable boats and fishing boats straighten the net surface outwards.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng were wearing diving equipment and would dive from time to time to check the bottom of the net.
It took more than three hours to straighten the fence.
It's almost four o'clock.
Lin Xinhai drove the fishing boat to the seine net, waited for Chen Yuan and the others to surface, and quickly reached out and pulled: "Can you still hold on?"
"Small problem." Zhou Sheng said, "I'm not tired at all."
"The next step is to tighten the outline." Chen Yuandao: "You must cooperate with me and Zhou Sheng."
"You sort out the heavy pieces, and we'll sort out the broad outlines." Lin Xinhai said.
It’s no joke to tighten the outline next. The entire operation process is the most test of the diver’s physical strength and the cooperation between the team. At the same time, this is also the most dangerous operation link.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng smoked cigarettes, and Lin Xinhai returned to the fishing boat.
At this time, the Luo Laosi fishing boat that left yesterday also came back.
"Hello, Laosi?" Lin Xinhai contacted Luo Laosi.
"receive."
"How was the harvest last night?"
"There were seven or eight tons of squid in one net, and a dozen tuna were also caught." Luo Laosi said with a smile: "How long will you keep this net?"
"I just started to summarize the outline."
"Do you need help?"
"It's not needed at the moment. I'll help catch the fish tomorrow." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "Is your fish cabin full?"
"No, only a third of it is filled."
Luo Laosi smiled and said: "It's good that the fish cabin is not full. I'll probably burst the fish tank once I start fishing. Please help me put some back in."
"Gan, I also said that I would add another net. How many do you have in this net?"
"It's estimated to be more than a hundred tons."
Luo Laosi took a deep breath: "So many?"
"It should be one hundred tons." Lin Xinhai could see the density of fish in the fishing net.
"Okay, let's go back together after setting up the net." Luo Laosi said with a smile. Last night's net harvest was very good. The fish cabin of his fishing boat was just an ordinary chilled cabin. The six or seven tons of rocket squid were either sold at sea.
, or go back and sell them quickly. Otherwise, if you keep them for a long time, those squids will be worthless when you go back.
A 1,700-meter seine net can contain hundreds of tons of fish, which is really not a lot.
Lixia has three fish holds, which are 20 cubic meters, 25 cubic meters and 30 cubic meters.
Xinhai has a fish hold, 35 cubic meters.
The ultra-low temperature freezing cabin is modified from an old fishing boat. The ultra-low temperature refrigeration equipment is so large that the space in the freezing cabin is smaller.
Judging from the fish finder screen, if the net is set up, it will definitely not fit in two fishing boats.
…
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have already dived to the bottom of the sea.
There are fish everywhere in the seine, including schools of various types of snapper, as well as yellowfin tuna, bonito, sand tip, etc. There are groupers, stone fish, sand fish, and coral fish on the bottom.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng came to the rocky area on the seabed to sort out the seine net. They dragged the seine net to the middle...
There are large rocks of different shapes in the rocky area. If the seine is closed tightly, it will not be able to be retrieved at all if the seine catches the rocks.
In addition to the rocks there is also a coral reef area, which requires manpower.
The whole process of collecting the net is very slow. With the fishing boat's fishing machine, Chen Yuan and the others only need to dive once to retrieve the net of several hundred meters.
A dive lasts forty to fifty minutes, plus the time to refill the tank when you come back, it takes an hour to go back and forth.
It's already dark.
Chen Yuan and the others brought underwater searchlights and prepared to dive again. Lin Xinhai used a walkie-talkie to contact them. When he failed to contact them, he drove over in an assault boat and said, "Have a rest. We'll do it tomorrow morning."
"You can't rest. There will be a big tide tomorrow." Chen Yuan said and pointed to the pontoon: "You asked people to come over and collect the fish aggregator and the cage on the bottom of the sea. You have to stay up all night tonight..."
"Can you handle it?" Lin Xinhai frowned. He was worried about the health of Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng.
The depth here is nearly 200 meters, and the two of them have dived back and forth many times.
"If we can't bear it, we will take a rest ourselves." Zhou Sheng also said.
This bottom diving job is really hard work. Especially since there are only two of them...
If their bodies hadn't been mutated and their physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, this job would have been too much for just the two of them.
"The camera is out of power," Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yuan looked at Li Xuebin: "Wait until we get out of the water, then close the net."
"Charge the camera and bring it with you when you come back next time." Lin Xinhai warned: "Pay attention to safety... If you feel unwell, stop. We have dived many times."
Chen Yuan smiled and made an OK gesture and looked at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng also smiled and made an OK gesture.
The two checked the equipment, went into the water again, and dived to the bottom of the sea.
A fish bumped into Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng pulled Chen Yuan, making a few bubbles pop up in excitement.
Under the light, you can see the fish gathering together, there are so many of them.
After arriving at the bottom of the sea, the two went to the edge of the seine and continued to organize the fishing net, constantly shrinking the circle at the bottom of the seine.
Four-fifths of the seine covers the rocky reef area.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are not many fish hidden on the flat seabed.
Chen Yuan and the others were arranging the seine net and saw a lot of groupers and stonefish.
The largest grouper is estimated to weigh seventy or eighty pounds.
Chen Yuan gestured to Zhou Sheng, telling him to close the net properly and not to catch the bottom fish.
As long as the net is closed, all the fish in this sea area will be caught in one catch.
There was not much air left in the cylinder. Chen Yuan pulled Zhou Sheng up to the surface, returned to the fishing boat to change the cylinder, and took the camera to dive again...
This was repeated over and over until after three o'clock in the morning, the bottom of the fence finally shrank to a flat gravel area.
As time passed, Lin Xinhai became anxious.
Chen Yuan and the others had been diving for too long, and I was really worried that something might happen to them.
Waiting for Chen Yuan and the others to surface again and board the fishing boat, Lin Xinhai contacted Chen Yuan immediately: "Is it done?"
"That's it. Now we can summarize the outline." Chen Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
"good."
Zhou Sheng felt tired, so he got on the boat and lay down on a folding chair, breathing heavily.
Chen Yuan looked at him: "Are you okay?"
"I just feel a little tired." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Except when you pulled me to do physical exercises before, I haven't felt tired for a long time."
"Take a rest, we have to dive later." Chen Yuan said.
"Give me a cigarette."
Chen Yuan went back and took out cigarettes and threw one to Zhou Sheng.
The two of them lit cigarettes and smoked.
The swell was so big tonight that you could feel the sea water flowing on the bottom of the sea.
Lin Xinhai was shrinking the outline. After feeling the resistance, he quickly stopped the machine, let out some wires, took out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Chen Yuan?"
"receive."
"It's stuck."
"Okay. Let's go down and have a look."
"be safe."
Chen Yuan and the others went into the water again.
Luo Laosi has been accompanying Lin Xinhai and said: "Your two apprentices are really awesome."
Lin Xinhai shrugged: "I don't care who his apprentice is."
"I remember that when we were young, it was not as hard as it is now to set up a net."
"At that time, the seine net was used in offshore waters. How big was the seine net? How big is this net now?" Lin Xinhai looked at his mobile phone, while Chen Yuan and the others dived deeper and deeper, and it took a while before they reached the bottom of the sea.
Looking at the scene of the dive, not only Lin Xinhai was nervous, Luo Laosi was also nervous.
Nowadays, the net pens are getting smaller and smaller, and the fish inside are getting denser.
The bottom-sinking seine net uses a fish collector and bait, and there are all kinds of fish in the seine net.
They seemed to have seen a shark before, but fortunately they didn't warn much. In addition to sharks, there were also more dangerous swordfish.
The two of them successfully dived into the seabed and searched for most of the circle along the seine net. The fish caught sight of the sunken ship where it hung on the bottom.
The mast protruded from the sunken ship, and fishing nets were hung on it.
"Is there a sunken ship below?" Luo Laosi took a deep breath.
"Yeah." Lin Xinhai gave him a wary look and said, "We will report it when we close the network."
"That one just now was the mast of a sunken ship?" Luo Laosi whispered, "It's probably an ancient official ship."
"So what, do you want to go down and salvage?"
Luo Laosi smiled and shook his head: "If you find these things, you must report them to the country."
To salvage ancient shipwrecks by yourself, a person Luo Laosi knew once did it, and he is still in prison and has not been released.
But, if you want to say that you are heartbroken, then you are really heartbroken.
If an ancient official ship is well preserved, its value...
