When Chen Yuan woke up, he still felt very uncomfortable, but he was able to stand up and walk slowly.
Fu'an 79 has found the last fish aggregator, has completed the encirclement, and has pulled the bottom out of the water.
At the stern of the ship, Gao He was directing the closing of the net. When he saw Chen Yuan coming over, he said, "Are you feeling well?"
Chen Yuan said: "I have regained some energy."
"Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like a thread. Take care of yourself slowly..."
Chen Yuan shrugged and took a look at the side of the ship. He just started to close the net. It was still early to catch the fish, so he went up the stairs to the cockpit.
Zhou Jianguo was sleeping on the table in the back.
Chen Hao was in the observation area, holding a telescope and not knowing what he was looking at.
"Brother." Chen Yuan heard the footsteps and turned his head.
Big tuna are accustomed to living in deep water. If there is no food on the surface, the tuna will hunt on the bottom of the sea and will not float up. But through some means, such as making some sounds on the surface, the tuna will think that there are a large number of small fish in the upper waters. At this time...
...the tuna will rise.
"Do you want to save them?" Gao He asked.
Although this location is in the westerly drifting zone, in the south. If the people on the boat wanted to perform the feat of crossing the ocean with a small boat, then... they veered off course.
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "That's necessary."
These four are New Zealanders, three white and one Chinese. They are all in their twenties...
Gao He rolled his eyes: "I was just kidding. If you are an Australian, we have to charge."
The ocean current belt in the South Pacific is the westerly drift belt to be precise...
"It should be." Chen Yuan pointed at Gao He: "Call him."
The year before last, Chen Yuan and others rescued several Australian fishermen while fishing on the high seas in eastern Australia. Instead of receiving gratitude after contacting their coast guard, Fuan 79 was still monitored by Australian coast guard ships for a long time. This is very embarrassing.
…
Maybe it was because he saved people, which was a sign of great virtue. On the second day after collecting the last fish concentrator and returning home, Gao He and the others found a school of bluefin tuna more than 400 meters under the sea.
Chen Hao had been observing the boat. A few hours later, the people on the small boat also discovered Chen Yuan's large boat. They adjusted the sail angle and came towards them. Black smoke was also burning on the boat. Who knew what was going on?
What to burn.
Chen Yuan rolled his eyes: "Who would be a pirate in this place?"
It was a small speedboat, which was still far away. With Gao He's eyesight, he could only vaguely see the boat: "Is there anyone on board?"
Based on this calculation, the ship drifted on the sea for at least twenty days. It was most likely more than thirty days.
Now go back and repair it for a while, and then come out again after the new year.
In fact, no matter what, if you see a similar situation and ensure your own safety, if you can save it, you will definitely save it.
"There is a high probability that they are New Zealanders. If they are Australians, we will call the police for them." Gao congratulated.
If no rescue was done, the people in the small boat would probably be hanging.
"Why are you here?" Chen Yuan watched them eat and followed them to the infirmary, asking in English that was not particularly proficient.
But in the South Pacific, the closest inhabited area at this location is the McMurdo Research Station. And then there is Chile...all thousands of nautical miles away.
The school of fish is heading west, in the same direction as them.
"Is it a drifting boat?" Chen Hao said.
These few people were neither professional fishermen nor had professional equipment. They were just an ordinary speedboat. There was not even a chart on the boat, only a fish finder. The auxiliary equipment also had a compass...
Gao He quickly put down the auxiliary boat and let the auxiliary boat run in front of the tuna, using sound to lure the fish to the surface.
But I don’t know what happened. When they were about to go back, the compass could not be found. Then the two engines of the ship broke down at the same time.
"A drifting boat must have encountered some kind of accident," Chen Yuan said.
All I can say is that there is such a calamity in life.
Another day later, the tuna fish finally floated to more than 100 meters above the sea surface.
Ignore the boat in front of you.
In the evening, Gao He came over and arranged separate rooms for them and told them not to wander around.
After Dr. Liu examined their bodies, Chen Yuan gave them satellite phones and asked them to call their families to report that they were safe.
"We were out fishing, and the speedboat lost power..." The Chinese man, who did not speak Mandarin, spoke fluent English and explained the whole story.
Gao He quickly came over and took the telescope from Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan and his friends had encountered pirates in the Indian Ocean before. They discovered them early and their ship was fast enough, so they escaped early.
Fu'an 79 continues to launch the Internet...
Gao He suddenly woke up and rubbed his eyes: "What ship?"
Chen Yuan walked slowly over and saw a small boat on the far sea. There were people on the small boat and a small sail...
This is a rare large school of fish.
One of the four people on the boat was very weak and was lifted to the boat and sent to the infirmary. The other three people's bodies were as tanned as cooked lobsters, with peeling skin on their faces, shoulders, and hands.
But because they rescued a few people, they had no choice but to go upstream to New Zealand and then north.
Chen Hao trotted over and patted Gao He on the shoulder: "Gao He, there is a boat on the sea."
If you stay at sea for a long time, you may encounter anything.
The boat on the sea is very slow.
And even if it is a New Zealand boat, it has no power and only a small sail on it...
"Could it be a pirate?"
"have."
Zhou Jianguo came to the ship last year and missed home even more.
Chen Yuan went over and took a look at them. Someone brought them water and food. One of the white people was carried to the infirmary, and the remaining two white people and a Chinese were drinking water in large gulps. Their lips were white and cracked.
This is so thirsty.
It has been 35 days, and their family members have already called the police. And for such a long time, their family members thought they had... At this time, Chen Yuan received a call, and Chen Yuan heard crying on the phone.
"well."
Gao He boarded the ship at the beginning of the year and had long wanted to go back.
They used a speedboat, more than nine meters long, to go fishing for tuna.
The distance was not very far anymore. Gao He left the cab and drove an auxiliary boat with two sailors to approach the boat. Chen Yuan saw clearly that there were four people on the boat. Gao He talked with them for a few minutes before throwing out the rope.
, drag them back.
"Come and take a look, there seems to be a boat in front of you." Chen Hao said.
"Which country do you think the people on the boat are most likely to be from?" Chen Yuan asked.
There are very few boats on this route, and you often don’t see a boat in a month. If you are drifting without power, it is most likely to be New Zealand or Australia. Small boats from other places will not be able to pass.
Takaga originally wanted to go downstream to the fishing grounds off Chile and Peru. By passing this route, they could catch some fish at sea. If they caught enough fish, they could return and return directly to China.
Chen Yuan took the telescope, looked at it, and said, "Hmm," "There is a small boat, and there are three people on it."
Fu'an 79 also came to the position, put another auxiliary ship down, and started to lower the net.
There are more than 300 bluefin tuna in this net, the smallest weighing more than 150 pounds.
A net of hundreds of tons or hundreds of tons of tuna is mostly yellowfin tuna and albacore. For example, a net of yellowfin tuna is several hundred tons, and most of them are individuals under 70 kilograms. There are very few large tuna, otherwise
If so, large tuna wouldn’t be that expensive.
Although there are not many fish in this net, it may be worth more than 10 million yuan.
