When a person knows that someone is watching from behind, the potential is stimulated.
It was completely different from when he was leisurely and leisurely farming.
When Long Wu and Chen Li set sail this time, shortly after setting sail, they felt that Gu Kun had a seriousness in him that was not there before.
From listening carefully for every tiny echo in the fish finder, to putting on a diving suit when there is the slightest clue, and going into the water to check it out in person. Every step is meticulous and very diligent.
Therefore, when Gu Kun ordered Long Wu to launch a special bottom trawl net for shrimp fishing, Long Wu and the others had a premonition of a good harvest.
"It seems that we won't be able to drive very far this morning. If we focus on catching lobsters later on, it will probably take more than ten days, maybe longer." Long Wu chatted with Chen Li while setting up the net.
Chen Li's work did not slow down at all, and she sighed softly: "The boss has no choice. He is being targeted by Chen Mingcheng. Who doesn't want to quickly accumulate some capital and strength. This net costs 8,000 lings. If you don't work hard,
How did you get the book back?
After all, lobsters are expensive, and even if they are cedar lobsters, they will not have to worry about sales if Boss Xu takes delivery of them. Sumei, Tsing Yi, and other tropical fish, after all, have a narrow audience, and most consumers still want to show off their freshness. The quantity is too large.
If it’s too big, it will depreciate.”
It turns out that this special bottom trawl net for catching shrimps was temporarily purchased in the past few days when they were preparing to go to sea again.
The purpose is to be able to catch the South Sea specialty cedar lobster and other seafood in batches this time.
This kind of professional net gear is not cheap. Eight thousand lings is converted into RMB 20,000. However, the fishing nets are all detachable. Liu Min’s boat will no longer be rented in the future. If he wants to change another boat, Gu Kun can also put the net in
Remove.
Last time when he went to sea for the first time, Gu Kun didn't buy another shrimp net and modified it on the boat. Firstly, his capital was tight, and secondly, because you were just exploring the way the first time, and he wanted to make the trip as soon as possible. Besides,
Well, if he hadn't met Xu Feng later and learned about the scale of Xu Feng's business acquisitions, Gu Kun would not have dared to spend a lot of money betting on lobsters, for fear that he would not be able to sell them all.
The trawl net was quickly lowered to the bottom of the sea, and the man who lowered the net was able to free one hand.
Gu Kun came out of the cab and ordered: "Chen Li, you go in and take over the steering. Long Wu, watch the condition of the net alone and don't let the hook break. I'll go into the water to take a look at the situation. Then you can follow my instructions."
Instruct steering and adjust towing direction and speed."
"Okay, Captain, don't worry." Long and Chen agreed wholeheartedly.
Gu Kun put on his diving suit, put on his headlamp, and jumped into the water.
Long Wu watched Gu Kun go into the water and made a bet with Chen Li and asked: "How much do you think this net can be dragged? How long will it take? By noon, can it weigh 200 pounds?"
Chen Li was speechless for a while: "This is about catching Shanlong! It's not that kind of fish. If you can catch 100 pounds in one net, you will be very rich."
Long Wu: "But he is the captain. He has already created so many terrible things."
This "fuck" is equivalent to a literary word like "unbelievable" or "unbelievable". Long Wu did not read well in cultural classes and couldn't remember the lack of vocabulary at the moment, so he used "fuck" instead.
Chen Li was more logical. After thinking about it, she still disagreed with her husband's point of view: "Of course I have seen how powerful the captain is. His earphones are really good, and the accuracy of the fish detector is much higher than yours."
. But it’s not like you don’t know that when catching lobsters and other aquatic products close to the bottom, fish finders are actually of little use. The reflection interference from the bottom of the sea is so serious that it is mixed into the clutter.”
It turns out that instruments such as sonar are relatively accurate in measuring direction and distance of sound sources suspended in the water, but for things close to the seabed, even if there is sound, it is difficult to measure accurately.
Because of the collision between sea water and the seabed, the reverberation will cause great interference.
It is similar to a downward-looking radar. If it does not have a terrain offset function, it is difficult to detect an aircraft flying close to the ground. In the water, submarines can often sink to the bottom to avoid detection. Especially in sea areas with a lot of corals,
Because the seabed terrain is inherently complex and abrupt, you don’t know which ones are corals and which are other animals.
That’s why lobsters, abalone, and sea cucumbers are difficult to catch and so expensive. It’s not that they are really that rare, but because they are close to the seabed and difficult to find. Sometimes if the light transmittance is better in shallow seas, divers are even required
Search visually.
Long Wu: "Of course I know what you're talking about, but that's science. The captain is not scientific at all."
Neither of them could convince the other, so the couple made a bet. They made a bet on smoking a day. If the final harvest was closer to Chen Li's guess, then Long Wu would not be allowed to smoke for a day, and if not, he would be allowed two packs a day.
The couple worked for a while, and were worried about whether they should reduce the speed of the boat again, so that Gu Kun, who was diving to adjust the trawl net, would not be able to keep up. However, Gu Kun surfaced, jumped back to the boat, and ordered the net to be closed.
"That's it, close the net." Gu Kun ordered while drying his hair.
Long Wu was surprised: "Collect the net? It has only been dragged for less than half an hour, and the speed is only 4 knots. Captain, don't you really drag it for a while? I'm afraid there won't be much gain from collecting it now."
Gu Kun: "It's not too much, but it won't be more if we delay it any longer. Quickly close the network so we can speed up. I don't have that much time to waste."
It turns out that for this kind of trawling operation to scrape the seabed, the boat speed must be very slow.
If the net is used to catch ordinary shallow-water fish, the boat towing the net can also drive up to 12 knots, or even faster, because there is no need to worry about the hook breaking the net, and there is no need to worry about leaking the net.
When the special net for catching shrimps and crabs scraping the bottom of the sea is released, the speed of the ship will basically be reduced to 20 to 30% of the cruising speed. This is actually easy to understand, because if you drag it too fast, if the net catches the coral reef, it will be useless.
.
On the other hand, the edges of these special nets are equipped with counterweight bearings and special limit hook locks. Only by dragging slowly can the edge of the fishing net be kept in contact with the seabed at all times, so that the shrimps and crabs that have been caught can escape.
If you drag it fast and encounter a terrain with large undulations and depressions in the seabed corals, and the fishing net does not have sufficient contact with the seabed, the lobsters that have been caught in the net may also escape from the depressions.
All this leads to the fact that when other captains go out to sea, even if their fish detection skills are incredible and the divers search for shrimp groups, the time-consuming and labor-intensive problem of trawling operations still cannot be solved. Often, the lobsters are gone in half a day after dragging the net.
Someone like Gu Kun, who was like a bastard, could just point out where to strike with precision, and it only took half an hour to catch the lobster, so there was no comparison at all.
It's like someone sweeping a car from a few hundred meters away with a big pineapple, so they have to squeeze the trigger and fire all 100 rounds out of the magazine.
But in Gu Kun's hands, he used the big pineapple as a girl control. He sucked it for 20 seconds and then fired it, then stopped. He even put away the gun as confidently as Fist of the North Star and added "You are already dead".
Long Wu took the net back doubtfully and dragged it to the position just out of the water, when he felt the heavy resistance in the net.
An old sailor can tell the weight of the harvest in a net by listening to the sound of the net winch motor.
The fishing net was finally pulled out of the water. Long Wu and Chen Li were amazed when they saw it:
“So many lobsters!”
"There are so many kinds of flounder! They add up to hundreds of pounds."
It turned out that in addition to the cedar lobster and Pipi shrimp, there were also many tropical fish such as flounder that clung to the coral sand on the seabed. Many of them were colorful, and some had long and bright fin spines.
.
Not all of these fish are delicious, but most of them are. The most important thing is that they are very beautiful. If they can be kept in a living water tank and raised to the shore, they can be sold as ornamental fish.
And if it were not for special nets that can directly scrape the seabed in coral reefs, it would be difficult to catch these fish in batches.
Both Long and Chen felt that the new network the captain had spent this time was worth the money.
Only Gu Kun himself knew that his success could not be replicated. If someone else had not cheated, even if he had a good network, he would not have achieved such good results.
If he does this, he is fully confident.
Before going out to sea this time, he felt that he had a deeper grasp of the potential of this body. First of all, his hearing. He could listen and perceive the topography of the seabed by quietly diving in the same shallow water for a period of time.
Then, he can pick out any echoes that are slightly different from the original terrain, knowing that there are sea creatures lurking on the bottom there. In a word, his hearing is just like ordinary sonar.
The terrain comparison function is turned on again.
Who knows that his ears are the black technology of 2019? He slowly adapts and explores the potential, and he can always dig out performance details that are more awesome than the most advanced sonar in the 1990s.
I estimate that it will only take a few months of adaptation and training, and I will have no problem finding and salvaging ancient sunken ships with this skill in the future.
In addition to hearing, Gu Kun further discovered this time that his underwater vision was also much stronger than in his previous life.
This does not mean that his farsightedness resolution is stronger, but that the visual distance in low-light environments is far away. Normal people may not use a diving headlamp to go 30 meters underwater, because sunlight cannot penetrate deeper layers.
The sea water was so deep that nothing could be seen. And Gu Kun found that as long as he concentrated, it seemed that it would be no problem if it was twice as deep. As long as the depth of the coral could grow, he could basically see it.
This also means that after he returns to shore, his vision during the day is not much better than that of normal people, but his night vision ability at night will be exaggerated, as if he had installed a simple version of a low-light night vision device.
All of this has created a boring and boring harvest for him at the moment.
"Captain, we have already counted them. There are more than 70 cedar dragons, weighing more than 200 pounds, 350 pounds of various tropical fish of the genus Flatfish, 170 pounds of southern clams, and 120 pounds of stonefish. It's a bumper harvest.
Wholesale lobsters to Boss Xu cost 50 RMB per pound, stone fish 100 RMB, and other flounder species are cheaper, and these add up to RMB 30,000 to 40,000. How long does it take?”
After counting the harvest, Long and Chen's admiration for Gu Kun increased to another level.
Gu Kun smiled lightly and encouraged his morale: "What does this mean? Keep moving forward. This time I am injured and I am going to have a big fight. I don't want to waste a day. Especially before arriving at the Weisha Islands, tropical fish are more
We have to seize every opportunity."
