My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang didn't know how long he had been shoveling the chisel at the bottom of the boat, his hands were numb.

After much difficulty, the dense barnacles at the bottom of the boat were finally cleaned up, leaving a patch of small pits at the bottom of the boat.

When Xiang Yang returned to the deck, he felt that his arms were so sore that he couldn't even clenched his fists.

This is a partial loss of strength in the body caused by prolonged muscle overload and tension.

After Xiang Yang drank a cup of brown sugar water to replenish his strength, he took out the walkie-talkie and called Gao Chuang without caring about taking a break.

"Hello? Who is it?" On the other side of the intercom, Gao Chuang's voice seemed a little tired.

"It's me, Xiang Yang." Xiang Yang said.

"Oh, it's Xiang Yang, isn't your ship malfunctioning?" Gao Chuang asked.

"No, what happened to the other ships in the fleet? Have you finished the inspection?" Xiang Yang asked.

"It's still being inspected. There are a lot of small problems, and the big ones haven't been discovered yet. The fleet should be able to continue sailing later." Gao Chuang said.

Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

So far, no major problems have been found, so there must be no major problems. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the fleet.

After discussing some follow-up matters with Gao Chuang, Xiang Yang ended the call.

At this time, Fang Youqun walked over here with a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket for bathing in the other.

"You want to fish?" Xiang Yang asked Fang Youqun.

Fang Youqun shook his head and said, "This is not a fishing rod for fishing."

Xiang Yang stared at the fishing rod carefully, and suddenly realized: "This is a lure rod."

The so-called lure rod is a fishing rod without fishing line and hook. It is different from ordinary fishing rods. At the end of the rod is not a fishing line, but a multi-layer net cage.

"Brother Yang, do you know about lure poles?" Fang Youqun asked in surprise.

Xiang Yang felt a little funny, how could a professional fisherman not know how to lure rods.

"Of course I know the lure rod, but you, do you know how to use the lure rod?" Xiang Yang joked.

Fang Youqun raised his head and said quite proudly: "Of course I know, put a little pig liver in the net cage at the front of this lure pole, and then put this pole in the water."

"And then?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.

"That's right, what's next?" Fang Youqun rubbed his head, "There is no hook on this pole, so how can I fish? Brother Yang, do you think I was cheated when I bought the pole?"

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes.

The lure rod for sea fishing is actually specially used for making nests. If you can catch fish with just a lure rod, then it would be hell.

"Okay, stop fishing, the fleet will set sail soon." Xiang Yang said.

"Didn't you say tomorrow?" Chen Qingsheng asked beside him.

"After the inspection of the fleet, no hidden dangers were found, so naturally they can set sail at any time." Xiang Yang said.

Chen Qingsheng nodded, being forced here by the blizzard for so long, he actually wanted to set sail a long time ago.

Just as he was talking, a long siren sounded from the side.

"Woo--"

Xiang Yang turned his head to look, and it was the leading icebreaker in the fleet that whistled. At this moment, it was blowing its whistle, while pressurizing the sea water, and began to move forward slowly.

"Captain, are we going to set sail?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

Soon, the icebreaker sounded two more whistles.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang directly ordered: "Set sail, keep going."

This was an appointment made by Gao Chuang with everyone. The icebreaker whistled three times in a row, which was the signal for the fleet to sail.

Chen Qingsheng on the side quickly shouted: "Everyone go back to the deck and stand up. From now on, everyone is not allowed to go near the side of the ship. The ship is about to sail."

Xiang Yang reminded: "Stand firm for a while, the current position of our ship is relatively delicate, and there may be big bumps when it is pressurized for a while."

Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat was leaning against the edge of the iceberg, surrounded by many small pieces of ice floes.

When setting sail, the fishing boat will inevitably collide with those small pieces of ice floes. This kind of collision will not cause any harm to the fishing boat, but for the people on board, because of the inertia, the impact force is very huge.

After hearing this, the crew quickly returned to the middle of the deck and stood up. Some of them held hands to avoid falling down.

Soon, the sea water on the side of the iceberg began to roll, and a lot of air bubbles came out.

Under the action of this sea water, the huge hull began to turn around slowly.

A small ice floe, which was bigger than the bed board, was also slowly drifting under the action of this sea water, and hit the stern of the fishing boat.

At this moment, Xiang Yang's heart was almost in his throat.

Although Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat has a certain ability to break ice, the stern is the weakest part of the whole boat.

If such a large piece of ice floe directly hits the stern of the ship, it may directly sink the ship.

Fortunately, in the cab now, Xu Fang is driving the boat himself. Xu Fang is an old pilot with many years of driving experience. The pressure on that side formed a rolling white wave between the ship and the ice floe, stopping the ice floe from continuing to float towards the stern.

The fishing boat turned around without any risk, and then drove forward quickly.

"It's finally set sail." Xiang Yang walked slowly to the bow, looking at the vast and boundless sea ahead.

"Captain, why don't you go back to the cabin, the wind is too strong here at the bow." Chen Qingsheng came over and said.

"No hurry, my physical fitness is still good, let me stand here for a while, if it gets cold later, I will go back to the cabin." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Chen Qingsheng nodded slightly. Xiang Yang's muscles are also hard after this period of exercise. Although they are not as scary as those old sailors' muscles, they are definitely considered to be in good physical condition.

Besides, Xiang Yang is now wearing a thick winter coat, even if there is wind, it cannot directly blow on Xiang Yang's skin.

"The current speed is just right for casting a net. Shall we cast a net to see?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

Xiang Yang looked at the sea water under the ship's side. This sea area has just experienced a blizzard. After the blizzard, it is the best time to cast a net for fishing.

Don't think that fish in Antarctica are not afraid of the cold.

In fact, fish in Antarctica are also afraid of the cold. They just adapted to the extreme cold weather in Antarctica. When a snowstorm comes, these cold-water fish will hide in deep water.

Now that the wind and snow are over, it is time for these cold-water fish to float up to the middle or surface of seawater to feed and breathe.

Although Xiang Yang didn't see a large school of fish through the water surface, he saw many individual sea fish shuttle back and forth on the bottom of the sea, greedily preying on the Antarctic krill on the bottom of the sea.

Among them, Xiang Yang also saw two Antarctic sturgeons more than one meter long.
