Ever since that amazing fish-finding operation on the first day of the voyage, Long Wu and Chen Li were in awe of Gu Kun's acumen.
Every time, Gu Kun could catch the subtle abnormal noises in the fish finder that other humans couldn't hear at all.
Moreover, not only the direction is measured accurately, but also the size, depth, movement direction and speed of the fish school are all accurate.
It's almost like having clairvoyance or "seeing, hearing, color and domineering".
Several times, Long Wu sighed: "Captain, with your hearing, you shouldn't come fishing at all. You should go to those naval powers and cast nets into the army. If you become an anti-submarine officer on a submarine, like the Sea Wolf class of Oceania,
Or even Lucia’s North Wind God level, I guess they won’t be able to escape your ears.”
Gu Kun always smiled and said nothing.
It’s not that he is unpatriotic, it’s just that the world will still be dominated by peace in the next few decades. If you engage in private business, you can make much more contributions to society and you will be free.
Moreover, if you really join the army, many of your abilities cannot be explained and will definitely be studied. Only fools take such risks.
Two days passed quickly. Gu Kun's fishing boat gradually moved northward, fishing with stops and stops along the way. It was already 500 nautical miles away from Lanfang, and the harvest was quite rich.
Most of the time, as long as the fish schools are not swimming fast, Gu Kun chooses to trawl directly with a single boat to save manpower.
Occasionally, if there are rare species of fish with a speed of about 20 knots, he will order Long Wu to go to the sea, manually pull the net, and set up a pocket array in conjunction with the towing of the fishing boat.
Since he never encountered a very fast and flexible fish like yellowfin tuna again, Gu Kun didn't need to go into the sea himself.
Because every time he used his gifted hearing or extreme diving, he would consume a lot of physical energy and give him a big appetite. Gu Kun didn't want to show an abnormally huge appetite, so he tried to cover it up as much as possible.
However, in the past few days, Gu Kun had a better understanding of his own physique after some exploration. He found that he could quickly replenish calories by drinking high-strength liquor or eating chocolate.
This is much more efficient than eating meat and is less noticeable. It seems that I will always have several boxes of chocolates around me in the future.
In this way, there are three or four opportunities to set the net every day. At first, only valuable fish are caught, and each net harvest is at least several thousand lings, which is nearly 20,000 lings a day.
On the third day, Gu Kun calculated the shelf life and felt that starting from today, he would catch more fish even to ensure that he could make it to the shore alive, so he started to increase the frequency of fishing. In this way, he would harvest at least several tons every day.
, even if the unit price becomes cheaper, the total income can double.
While Long Wu and Chen Li admired Gu Kun's ability, they also made several jokes.
"Captain, the day before yesterday I held the net for the first time, and you still thought I was slow in swimming. Then why didn't you show me your skills?"
Gu Kun responded calmly every time: "I haven't encountered tuna, and other slow fish are not worthy of me to take action."
How can you come across tuna every day?
However, his opportunity to perform soon came.
On the morning of the fourth day at sea, the ship had left the waters of the Sau Sa Islands and entered the waters of the Visa Islands. It was approximately southeast of Da Nang and northeast of Cam Ranh Bay.
Early that morning, two hours after breakfast, Gu Kun was doing his routine of listening to fish when he noticed an unusual movement.
He actually heard several super-fast guys a few nautical miles to the north and west, and the direction was likely to be intercepted.
Gu Kun immediately ordered the whole ship to prepare.
"Chen Li, please steer, keep the heading 295, and move forward at full speed."
"Long Wu is ready to operate the winching machine."
"Little sister, please bring me my diving suit, and then you can stare at the fish finder."
Everyone has become accustomed to Gu Kun's orders and prohibitions, and they all get into their positions very quickly.
After Long Wu checked the net winch, he came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Captain, are you holding the net yourself? Did you meet a big guy? Are there tuna again?"
Gu Kun only left a sentence like wind: "When did I misunderstand? Oh, didn't I misunderstand?"
After almost arriving at the place, Gu Kun looked at the direction and jumped into the water holding the rope.
As graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon.
Long Wu, Chen Li and others only looked at it for a few seconds and instantly noticed the gap.
"What? Humans can actually swim so fast? Is he a torpedo? Damn it, why don't you go to the Olympics if you have this ability?" Long Wuyi was distracted for a moment, as if one of his most proud skills suddenly disappeared.
It became a ridiculous joke.
Chen Li rubbed her eyes: "Did a big black mouse just pass by? It simply disappeared in a swish."
Gu Pan was no less surprised than the other two. She felt that her brother seemed a little strange.
As soon as Gu Kun entered the water, he felt that the spiritual platform was empty and his eyes and ears were sharp. After observing attentively for a while, he noticed that a few hundred meters in front of him was a swordfish, chasing and hunting two tuna, and there were some other fish nearby.
A school of fish, and the tuna instinctively keeps turning around and dives into the school of small fish, trying to escape the pursuit of the swordfish.
In terms of swimming speed, tuna should be the second fastest in nature, and the first is swordfish.
Many people may not be familiar with the name swordfish. It is a large marine fish with a long and sharp snout. You may know its other common name "swordfish".
Swordfish lives widely in tropical waters and is the natural enemy of fishermen. Because it can swim at speeds of more than 60 knots when sprinting, it is faster than any traditional torpedo. Not counting the use of supercavitation technology, supercavitation torpedoes are used in water
Flying in the bubble, there is no seawater contact resistance
The swordfish weighs 500 kilograms, has an extremely sharp kiss, and can travel at a speed of 60 knots. It can even pierce a destroyer during World War II, let alone a fishing boat.
Many small fishing boats were targeted by sailfish and ended up with three swords and six holes. That little iron sheet couldn't withstand them at all.
Gu Kun couldn't help but become serious.
This was no longer just about catching fish and selling it for money. Killing the swordfish was also for the safety of himself and his sister.
Is this considered "legitimate defense"?
He touched the dog-leg scabbard tied to his diving suit, and had no choice but to use the knife.
He approached calmly while continuing to observe the situation.
Sailfish can sprint faster than tuna due to the long sword in its kiss, but it has a disadvantage, that is, its turning radius is relatively large and it is inflexible.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the escape instinct of tuna when encountering swordfish is to keep running in circles, just like a rabbit keeps changing directions and turning back when escaping from hunting dogs. Because if you swim in a straight line, you can swim at a speed of nearly 20 knots.
Too bad, he couldn't escape a few hundred yards and was stabbed to death with a kiss.
But it was their endless circles that created this large, chaotic school of fish, giving Gu Kun an advantage.
After judging this, Gu Kun felt relieved.
This means he doesn't have to compete with tuna or even swordfish for top speed.
He estimated the circle range of the big fish, then quietly set up the pocket array in a roundabout way, and then slowly closed the net.
After more than ten minutes of patient guidance, the trawl net had trapped most of the fish, leaving only the last few dozen meters.
Gu Kun came up and gestured to the people on the fishing boat, telling them to rush over at full speed and close the circle.
Then Gu Kun also swam towards the fishing boat at high speed, holding the knife in his hand and paying attention to the movements of the swordfish.
As the fish shoal got closer and closer, a large number of fish finally swarmed towards the mouth of the trawl net, but unfortunately it was already too late.
Gu Kun tied the rope to a harpoon he had with him and threw it back to the fishing boat.
Long Wu on the boat immediately untied the rope and tied it to the electric winch. The entire fishing net had been gathered up.
"No, there's a swordfish!" Gu Pan, who had been in charge of the fish finder and lookout, discovered a scene that frightened her.
It turned out to be a large swordfish weighing several hundred kilograms. Because it was guided so hard that it couldn't break free, it straightened up and accelerated towards the fishing boat.
Gu Pan's voice at this time was probably as frightening as the lookout on a warship during World War II when he shouted "Port side, torpedo!"
Unfortunately, it rushed to the edge of the net, cut several wire ropes on the net, and was about to break through.
A nimble diver outside the net, wielding a vicious sharp blade, stabbed the fish's jaw from the side with great precision, and then twisted it horizontally.
The swordfish's upper snout is of course extremely hard and sharp, but that doesn't mean that all parts of the fish's head are that hard.
The Gurkha's dog legs stabbed its lower jaw hard, and the swordfish lost its struggle in an instant. Large streams of fish blood spurted out, making the entire seawater within a few meters nearby turn red. After a few seconds,
Gradually dilute and disperse.
The three people on the boat looked dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, they continued to reel in the entire net of fish in panic.
They knew that the technical content of the action just now was very difficult for a person to exert force in the water, because it was not like on land where you could rely on your strength with your feet firmly on the ground. The strength of Gu Kun's knife blow with all his strength depended entirely on his legs and
The other hand strokes the water in advance to increase inertia, so it is impossible for those who are not water-based and extremely unfavorable.
Long Wu: "Mazu, this swordfish weighs a thousand kilograms. The sword you just did couldn't be practiced in less than twenty years."
Chen Li: "These two trapped tuna are estimated to weigh two to three hundred kilograms. It's really a big harvest."
Gu Pan: "This net totals 3,500 kilograms, which was shown during the weighing."
A few seconds later, Gu Kun made a diving leap, grabbed the cable hanging from the side of the ship, and then climbed up the side of the ship in two swiss steps like a ninja. A kite flipped over and landed on the deck.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Gu Pan came to wipe his brother's water with a towel, his eyes full of admiration.
Long Wu's knees suddenly weakened and he knelt down on the deck: "Captain, from that day on, I have tried to convince you, but I only convinced you of your keen insight, but I still don't believe that you can be so defiant with water. Today I am
I’m totally convinced, Captain, after you go back, can you hire us for a long time? We don’t want to follow Liu Min anymore.”
Gu Kun smiled proudly: "Of course there is no problem with this, but I didn't say I would give you a salary increase. Why don't you think highly of Liu Min?"
Long Wu shook his head: "This is not a matter of money. We are all still young. I don't want to hang around all my life. The key is to follow you and learn skills and see things that you can't see from Liu Min."
The sea is a world that worships the strong.
Especially in the ocean, because they often sail on the high seas without laws, and the countries where ships are registered are often small booger countries that don't care about anything.
"Then it's up to you. I still say the same thing, as long as you follow me, be loyal to me and work hard, you will definitely have a good future. This time, I will give you an extra 200 lings, which will be counted as the opening red envelope for the first month.
, do your best."
While Gu Kun was drawing a cake and making a wish, he also trimmed the hair on his forehead with a gesture of "Rejoice, you are so confident."
Of course, he didn't do it to look cool, he just wanted to squeeze the sea water out of his hair.
Gu Pan stood aside and followed his brother's instructions. He took out four hundred lings of money and gave two to each of Long and Chen.
To control someone, you need to be kind and powerful at the same time.
Distributing money can't be a stalemate, you have to be famous. Because distributing money in a mess will not help Ma Zai's loyalty and work enthusiasm at all.
Those generals in ancient Rome who gave random money to the Praetorian Guards to buy the emperor's position are the best negative examples. Most of them were eventually bitten by the white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with them.
