  Chapter 405 Humanoid self-walking looking for king crab radar

  The Arctic slowly exited the port.

  The dilapidated crab boat engine made a strange noise, and the sea surface was broken open by the bow, like a paper knife cut on a canvas.

Niedep is a middle-aged man in his thirties. Zhang Jian said that this crew member used to be a sailor on the Matsuba crab fishing boat, but because he had a history of illegal drug use, he had been paid by all the crab boats. "blocked. .

  Nidepu had been with Zhang Jian’s father in his early years, so he found Zhang Jian and wanted to go to sea with the boat.

Many sailors among the crab catchers have secretly ingested illegal drugs, because their money came too fast, and because they were too tired on the boat. They thought that these drugs would bring them spirits, just like the dopamine and internal drugs in the world. The same as the orphin chip.

  But the use of banned drugs has a terrible end, and no crab boat is willing to contaminate this kind of sailor.

  Zhang Jian decided to give Niedup a chance and took him to a urine test. After confirming that his test was not positive, he finally agreed to get on the ship.

  Old John told Nidup that if he wanted to start over on the crab boat, he should be a newcomer honestly and start with the work of tying crab cages.

  After Qingchen and Yangyang got on the boat, Nedep only gave them a cold look and continued to do their work.

   "Hello, I will be my companion on the Arctic from now on," Yang Yang smiled and greeted him in English.

  But Nedep only said coldly: “Sailors who have been recognized by other crew members are true companions, and you don’t count on boat trips and sightseeing.”

  Yangyang smiled and did not speak.

Before the Arctic was far away from the port, the radio on the ship rang, and Craig's ridicule came from inside: "Zhang, I heard that you ended up letting the addict on board the ship, and there are two students under the age of 18. One of them is still a girl. Is this true? Zhang, the glory of the Arctic has been wiped out in your hands."

  Zhang Jian did not speak with a cold face, but Craig did not stop.

On the radio communication channel, there was a roar of laughter from the cabin of the Alpine: "Zhang, can addicts and students help you lift the crab cage? Old John is afraid that he will be exhausted on the North Pole. But I am here. There are traditional gifts from the Barents Sea, ready to receive them."

  At this time, Qingchen and Old John were both in the cab. Zhang Jian was puzzled. He looked at Old John: "What traditional gifts are there on the Barents Sea?"

  Old John's complexion changed as though he thought of something, he hurriedly said to everyone: "Quickly, close the doors and windows, everyone hides in the cab!"

  The next moment, the Alpine chased from behind, and it was three meters away from the North Pole side by side.

  Qingchen saw the seven sailors on the Alps bring out three white boxes, and took out...rows of eggs!

  That is three whole boxes and hundreds of eggs.

  It’s just that this thing is not for eating, but for throwing!

  At this moment, the sailors on the Alps picked up the eggs and threw them at the Arctic, like a snowball fight...

   Qingchen was puzzled: "What kind of weird tradition is this."

  Old John trembled angrily: "There are still many traditions of crab catchers. Long ago, when the ships left the port, the crab boats would play some similar games between them to enhance mutual friendship."

   Qingchen looked at the egg white and egg yolk on the window glass: "Do you call this friendship promotion..."

  The sailors watching the Alps smashed hundreds of eggs in one breath, and immediately drove away.

  Qingchen walked out of the cab and took a look, and suddenly felt that the Arctic was a bit paved...

  The crab catchers are a little bit urinary.

  He looked at the Alps going away, suddenly straightened his arms and raised his thumbs.

  Also, he closed one of his eyes.

At this moment, the captain of the Alps, Craig, was standing on the deck, looking back with a binoculars, and he cheerfully said to the crew around him: "That student even gave us a thumbs up and praised us for what we did well. ."

  A sailor took a look at the telescope from Craig in doubt. He pondered for two seconds and said, “How is this like a gunner’s aiming and ranging before firing?”

   Craig: "???"

  In fact, Qing Chen is indeed measuring distance, and there is no reference object on the sea, so he has to get used to the new visual distance method so that he can convince people with morality.

Yangyang next to    smiled and said, “It’s not that if someone hits you with an egg, you are going to blast it back with a sniper rifle. It’s too much.”

   Qingchen smiled: "The only thing is to measure the distance."

  Yang Yang Xin said that you are a master who does nothing but do nothing.

  The Arctic has been traveling at sea for 20 hours, and finally entered the Barents Sea in the early morning of the next day.

   Qingchen also experienced the cruelty of the crab fishing industry during these 20 hours.

  Zhang Jian was in charge of sailing the boat, but he didn't close his eyes for 20 hours, because if the helm was asleep, it would take minutes for the boat to deviate from the course.

  Only the old John knows a little skill at the helm, but he wants to teach the newcomers on the deck.

  Old John must let Qing Chen, Yangyang, and Niedup learn how to tie crab cages, lower the cages, hang the cages, and stabilize the figure on the deck within 20 hours...

  Furthermore, we have to clean up the egg pulp that the Alps smashed.

  The cold sea breeze rushes everyone’s necks, and the sea water will wash up on the deck at any time.

  Fortunately, what Zhang Jian was most worried about did not happen, and no one was seasick.

  Old John didn't give the three new crew members any good expressions. He looked at the three clumsy men and yelled at Zhang Jian as unreliable, regardless of whether Zhang Jian could hear him.

  When everything is ready, Nidepu, Qing Chen, and Yangyang are already tired and collapsed on the deck.

  Sunrise, the sun rises from the end of the sea level.

  Old John yelled from the deck: "Rookies, hurry up and rest. There is only one hour left for you."

   After finishing speaking, Nedep returned to the cabin with dark circles and fell asleep, while Qing Chen and Yangyang were attracted by the rising sun on the sea, and sat on the deck silently watching.

  The beautiful scenery is like an oil painting.

   Qingchen whispered to Yangyang: "Does it need to be so realistic? I don't think we are tired at all."

  Yangyang smiled and said, "I want to get together."

   "I saw someone organizing a student parade in City No. 10. Have you arrived in City No. 10?" Qing Chen asked.

Yang Yang leaned against the guardrail sitting on the deck and tilted his head to look towards Qing Chen: "I haven't arrived yet. By the way, you seem to have done a lot of things in City No. 10. As you are now, you should be responsible for the arrest. I was right. The main responsibility of the PCA Intelligence Division I remembered was this, as well as catching the spades lurking in the Federation."

   "What do you want to say?" Qing Chen asked strangely.

  Yangyang thought for a while: "So the identities of the two of us should be opposites now, we have to separate them from death to death!"

   "Can you stop the drama," Qing Chen sighed.

  At first, when Qing Chen saw this student Yangyang, he thought that the other party would be a cold killer.

  However, in fact, the offending side of the opponent's personality cannot be blocked.

  It's fine to compare many awakened people to wild monsters. The bad habit of driving anytime and anywhere is not known where I learned it.

  The relationship between the two seemed a bit close in the eyes of Zhang Jian, Old John, and Ni Depp, but what about the facts? Except for Yang Yang driving over Qing Chen's face unilaterally, there has never been any real, so-called "progress" between them.

  Qingchen knows very well that Yangyang has his own goals.

  She is not a vassal of Spades, nor is she a vassal of Day.

  Everything she is doing now is moving in a certain direction.

   Qingchen turned around and asked, "Do you want to help the residents of the world?"

   "Yeah," Yangyang nodded.

   "But this thing cannot be done only by the student parade," Qing Chen said: "The history of the world has fully proved this."

  "But there is always the first step to unlock people's wisdom, right," Yangyang looked at the magnificent sea: "My life is still long, take it slowly."

  I don’t know why, Qing Chen feels that he and this classmate Yangyang are like two extremes. He is a pessimist, always thinking about danger in times of peace, and always wanting to be ready for everything.

  Yangyang is an always passionate optimist.

   didn’t know how they became friends.

  At this moment, there was a rough sea outside the ship, and a blue whale was suddenly in the distance, leaping out of the water in the face of the rising sun.

  On the broad sea, the huge fins on both sides of the blue whale are like two wings, and it seems that just a little harder, they can jump into the sky.

  The vast figure overlaps with the morning sun, which is extremely gorgeous.

  This is the first time Qing Chen has seen a blue whale, just like the first time he saw the magnificent giant tree in Forbidden Land 002 in the wilderness.

Old John walked out quickly from the cabin: "Put the crab cage down, let down eight pathfinders! The blue whale has appeared, we have to put down the crab cage where the blue whale appears. It is the stalwart spirit in the sea, it will Bring us good luck!"

  "Is it only eight?" Qing Chen asked.

"Yes, only eight. The novice rookie on the Barents Sea remembers that this is called a pathfinder cage. Put it in the sea for 6 hours and then come back to see. If there are king crabs, this will be our fishing ground!" Old John said.

  Speaking, he picked up the phone at the door of the cabin and shouted: "Zhang, we are going to put the crab cage!"

  The telephone is a wired telephone connected to the bridge to facilitate communication between the captain and the crew.

   Immediately afterwards, he slapped the cabin door vigorously: "The rookie inside, come out to work."

  Qingchen glanced at Yangyang: "Go and tie the floats to the crab cages, and Niedupu and I will come to put the crab cages."

  The 180 empty crab cages are cages with welded steel bars, neatly stacked on the deck, like containers on a freighter.

  When the captain drives the crab boat to the designated area, the crew is responsible for tying the crab cage to a balloon-like float, and then throwing the crab cage into the sea.

  The crab boat does not need to wait here.

  If there are king crabs on the bottom of the sea, they will follow the smell of cod and get into the crab cages that can only enter and cannot exit.

  After waiting 6-12 hours, the ship returned to the float. The crew shook their claws to hook the floats floating on the sea surface, and then used a crane to pull the crab cages on the seabed one by one onto the deck.

  The floats are the coordinates of the crab cage.

   Next is the measurement, sorting, and finally according to the number of king crabs in the pathfinder cage, choose whether to continue in the original underground cage.

  At this time, Nidepu glanced at Qing Chen and muttered in a low voice: "I hope you won't lose strength when you get out of the cage."

Qing Chen smiled and did not speak. Old John, who controlled the hoist, hoisted the crab cage to the placing table, and shouted with his voice: "Rookies, don't be distracted, be careful that the floating rope tied to the crab cage is entangled with you. On your feet, take you to the bottom of the sea."

  One of the most dangerous things in the Barents Sea is being carried into the seabed by crab cages.

  The rope was placed in a circle on the deck. The hull was shaken violently by the waves, and the crew was likely to step on the rope if they were unstable.

  At this time, the crab cage was quickly falling to the bottom of the sea, and the ropes were pulled down together. If the crew’s ankles were entangled by the rope, they would enter the sea along with the crab cage.

  So, after all the crew got on the ship, Old John gave everyone a dagger, which means that if someone gets entangled, you need a companion to help and quickly cut the rope.

  In the Barents Sea, the only person who can save the crew is his companion.

  Qing Chen and Ni Depu stood on both sides of the drop platform and pushed the crab cages into the sea with force until all eight of them sank to the bottom of the sea.

  The North Pole continued to move forward, and Zhang Jian continued to follow the chart left by his father in the cab, looking for the next place where he could put the crab cage.

  After six hours, the North Pole returned to the location of the pathfinder cage. Old John stood on the deck and threw his claws, trying to hook the rope under the float, and then hook it up with a hoist.

  However, Old John is too old, and his strength is not as good as before, and his alcoholic body keeps trembling.

  The waves are too big, and the hull is constantly undulating, which affects the accuracy of Old John.

  No matter how many times he throws it, it is difficult to hook the rope under the float.

The boat has been drifting with the flow. If one fails to hit the hook, Zhang Jian will have to sail and fall back. For an old sailor on a crab boat, the captain needs to constantly adjust the direction to hook the rope. shame.

  Qingchen thought for a while, then said to Old John, "Should I try?"

  Old John chuckled: "Rookie thinks he can do it? If you want to try, then try. Remember, don't hook the float, otherwise the crab cage will sink with the float forever."

  The next second, he handed the claw to Qing Chen's hand, but saw Qing Chen fling it and hooked the rope under the balloon float.

  Old John was taken aback for a moment: "It's a **** thing, is it the first time you catch a crab?"

   "I have practiced javelin sports before," Qing Chen made up an excuse indiscriminately.

  Old John ran to the hoist and pressed the switch. There was a rumbling sound, and the winch in the hoist cabin made an overwhelming noise.

  The experienced old John immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately slowed down the speed of pulling the crab cage.

  The crab cages on the bottom of the sea are also rising until they are out of the sea.

  It’s just that when the rope ends, what is exposed to the sea is not a crab cage, but a two-meter-high single-room mobile public toilet.

  Rao is calm, Qingchen is stupid, and I haven’t heard that Barents Sea also produces public toilets.

   Qingchen pointed to the public toilet: "To be honest, I really can't understand why this kind of thing appears in the Barents Sea."

  On the vast sea, is it plausible to suddenly hang up a mobile public toilet?

  However, everyone soon discovered that the door of the mobile public toilet was also written with a marker: "A gift from the Orca to the North Pole."

  Zhang Jian walked out of the driver's cab and roared like thunder: "It must be the Fingan of the Orca!"

  Orcas, Alps, and Longtail, the captains of these three crab boats were the people who wanted to buy the Arctic king crab fishing quota in the walnut bar before.

  It seems that the three captains are all targeting Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian explained: "This is an old prank of crab catchers. Before going to sea, they will go to the abandoned recycling station and buy this kind of thing at the cheapest price, or a scrapped car, and go out to sea with them. If you see the floats of other crab boats, they will hook up the floats and replace other people's crab cages with this kind of large garbage."

Old John said: "The crab cage is only 680 pounds. It can be 4,000 pounds filled with water, which is much heavier than the crab cage. They know that the Arctic is worn out, and if the crane is overloaded, it is very likely to be straightforward. Pull out the crane. If the crane is used, the crab boat will have to go back to the port to repair the crane and then return to the Barents Sea."

  Qingchen can't laugh or cry, can you still play like this?

  The battles he experienced before were directly facing life and death, but today's battles are strange.

  This is a battle between crab catchers...

  But it’s too cheap, the other three crab boats are trying their best to cut off the wealth of the Arctic.

  However, this is the rule of the Barents Sea. There can be one joke between the crab boats, but only once.

  In the past, people would hang a small doll or a broken ball at the end of the float, but now some bad crab catchers will directly use this rule to pit the pellets of others.

  "What should I do with this stuff?" Qing Chen asked, pointing to the mobile public toilet on the ocean.

  Zhang Jian walked to the cab with a sullen face: "Take off the hook and let this thing sink to the bottom of the sea. We started fishing for other crab cages. They can only play this trick at most once."

  Qingchen imagined, if someone came to the Barents Sea to hunt for treasure in a few years, and when exploring the seabed suddenly found a mobile public toilet standing on the seabed, what would it look like...

  Thinking about it, I feel wonderful.

  As the remaining seven crab cages were hoisted, Old John didn't touch the claws at all this time, and he watched Qing Chen's full-blown will float one by one.

  Old John just said: "Do you know that even a fifteen-year old sailor may not be so accurate?"

   Qingchen smiled and said nothing.

  It’s just that the blue whale doesn’t seem to really bring them good luck.

  In each crab cage, there are only seven or eight king crabs scattered, and the harvest is bleak.

  Road cages on the Barents Sea generally have 25 to 30 king crabs in each crab cage. Even if it is a good harvest, it means that they are already close to the crabs.

  If there are 80 crabs in the crab cage, it means that they are above the crab group.

  Old John said that his highest record ever was that 112 king crabs were caught in a cage. The huge king crabs almost filled the crab cages made of welded steel bars.

  At that time, the captain of the Arctic was still Zhang Jian’s father. People in the port often said that the smart Asian captain could always find the largest crab farm in the mysterious Barents Sea every year.

  Zhang Jian frowned as he watched the harvest on the deck. The harvest was bleak. One of the crab cages was snatched by the Orca...

  He seemed to be able to hear the laughter from other crab boats.

  There is a tradition in the walnut bar. There are a total of nine crab boats in the port of Amsterdam. Every year the captain will place a bet, 10,000 euros per person, whoever completes his quota first can take away the 80,000 euros of the remaining eight captains, and the 80,000 euros will be distributed to the crew.

The owner of   Walnut Bar is at the port and is responsible for observing the overweight of each crab boat’s cargo warehouse.

  This is also the reason why the captains like to go to the walnut bar, and crab catching is also rewarding.

  The crew will also work hard for this lottery. You must know that one person gets more than ten thousand euros, which is equivalent to more than one hundred thousand yuan for no reason.

  However, Zhang Jian never mentioned this to Qing Chen and Yangyang, because his ten thousand euros are basically the same as Da Shui Piao...

  At this time, Yang Yang suddenly said: “When we just put down the road-exploration cage and drove deep into the Barents Sea, there was a very nice place.”

Zhang Jian looked at Yangyang and explained patiently to his few crew members: "Crab catching is not that simple. It's not that you look good and put the crab cages down. You know that all the king crabs are concentrated in this season. On the continental shelf, the activities of crabs also have specific patterns."

  Nidepp also gave them a cold look: "Don't think that you are good at throwing your claws, you can just give advice on the boat, and the sailor will do the job as a sailor."

  Yangyang smiled and said nothing.

  Only Qing Chen glanced at Yangyang thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice: "Your range of perception has expanded?"

  Yangyang responded in a low voice: "It has expanded to 300 meters."

   Qingchen nodded, no wonder the girl would speak suddenly.

   "Did you find a large group of crabs?" Qing Chen asked.

  Yangyang nodded: "It's all densely packed."

  The king crabs are concentrated in the area of ​​270 meters deep, which can be covered by the sensing range of the seedlings.

  This classmate Yangyang, but a humanoid self-propelled radar, she said where there are crabs, that is really there!

  However, they are not relatives to Zhang Jian and others, nor are they really here to catch crabs.

  Now that they have successfully boarded the ship, they will do whatever Zhang Jian and Old John command. Anyway, what Qing Chen has to wait for is just a storm.

  According to the weather forecast, a strong hurricane of more than 60 knots will strike from the north in 4 days. It may be an opportunity at that time.

  However, at this moment, Old John suddenly looked at Yangyang and said: "In which direction the position you mentioned is in, we can put a few pathfinder cages down."

Zhang Jian wanted to say something, but he heard Old John continue to say: "I just went out to sea now, and no one knows where the crab farm is. Everyone is trying to find it aimlessly, so it's okay to throw a few pathfinder cages according to your preference. ."

  At this moment, although the old John, who has 20 years of crabbing experience, is only a sailor, he is more like a captain.
