The water depth here is about 30 feet (100 meters), so the length of the main cable reaches 240 feet, which is far longer than any ship in Jinxia. When the net mouth is fully opened, the width is close to sixty feet, which is definitely a "bloody mouth".
In order to weave the main net, the two tree boats took out nearly 30% of the tree species and transformed them into golden vines.
It can be said that the network itself is already valuable. If it fails, the initial investment will definitely be a huge loss.
In fact, the elves themselves do not believe that humans can surpass them in fishing. Therefore, on this day, there were four to five thousand islanders who came to watch. They occupied all the high points at the tail of the tree boat and watched the fishing showdown with interest.
"It seems like there isn't even a bit of bait in this net. Will the fish really take the bait?"
"It probably depends on luck and allows the fish to crash in by itself."
"But the net is not sealed, and it runs very slowly. The fish can swim out on its own even if it gets in."
"I don't know about that - have they really tried this method?"
"Perhaps mainlanders have no concept of the sea. Although the fishing net is big, it is a bit insignificant compared to the sea."
As the ropes on the winch became less and less, everyone's discussion gradually became more and more heated.
Not only the majority of the islanders, but even Senia and Pang Ting were not exempt from the custom. However, due to their status, they did not attend the scene in person, but watched the "contest" from the tree stand in the center of the tree boat.
"The islanders haven't been so noisy for a long time." The high priest sighed as he looked at the groups of tribesmen in the distance. Who wins and who loses is not an important thing, but it is still attracting so many people just because it is not important, which is undoubtedly proof that life has become easier.
When he was exiled on the sea, the atmosphere on the island seemed to have solidified. Not to mention catching more fish than anyone else at that time, even if his companions and relatives died, few people had time to mourn.
"So who do you think will win?" Pang Ting did not use this to change the topic, and asked persistently.
Senia shook her head helplessly, "You say it first."
"Of course I think Noah will win." The patriarch of the Sharman family said firmly.
"Then I'll vote for Jin Xia."
"Sir, have you been too biased towards the mainland recently?" Pang Ting protested, "In the tree boat fishing competition held on the World Island, it was your outstanding leadership and clever arrangements that allowed Noah to win with a slight advantage. He defeated his opponent, Messiah, and won the title of the strongest fishing boat in the world island!"
Thinking of this, Senia couldn't help but smile - although she only won once, in that year, Noah's Tree Boat was the well-deserved king of fishing. "I didn't expect you still remember."
"How could I forget! You drove the green shuttle to chase the fish and forced them into the hunting range of the thorn algae. I will always remember that fascinating appearance." Pang Ting said, stroking his chest, "From then on, I believed that you Noah will be the most suitable person to be at the helm.”
"Okay, you don't need to say it so formally." Senia smiled and waved her hand, "This kind of competition is interesting if people on both sides place bets, right? If you and I both choose Noah, we will either win or lose together. , then what else is there to see?”
"Uh... why don't we cheer for Noah together?"
"Then you want Aili and the others to lose?"
"this-"
"Don't forget, more than half of the people involved in making fishing nets and fishing this time are islanders, and they all have their own residences in Jinxia City." Senia covered her mouth and said, "You have to count them as Is it someone other than Noah?”
Pang Ting couldn't answer the question for a while.
"So it's good to have one person on each side." She turned to the back of the tree boat. "This way, no matter where the islanders live, they will have someone to encourage them."
…
"Teacher, the cable is halfway over!" Ai Li reported again.
"Put the screen in."
Two rectangular rubber plates immediately sank into the water along with the main cable. They play the role of rudders in this system. They can open to both sides under the action of water flow and control the main cable to always tilt outward.
At this point, the work of releasing the net has been successfully completed.
"Okay." Mo Yun clapped his hands, "I'll leave this to you. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
"Eh? Aren't you here to watch? This is a duel between Jinxia and Noah!" Ai Li shouted, "Or to put it further, it is a duel between mechanism and thorn algae. If we lose, the mechanism will be obscured. So ashamed!”
Snapped!
Mo Yun slapped her on the top of her head, "Your teacher has never lost in battles with various machine masters. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I never waste my time in unnecessary places. If I have time to stay here and pray for fish to get into the net, why not go read more of the Gewu Book? Do you understand?" Mo Yun flicked his pony tail and turned towards the resting place. He walked away, leaving only Ai Li's tall back.
"Teacher... so chic." The little girl couldn't help but murmured.
She suddenly wanted to be someone like a teacher.
An hour and a half later.
The celestial device began to rotate, pulling the fishing net closer to the tree boat.
After the mesh board is pulled up, the two sides of the bag mouth are tied together by the auxiliary cables, and the mesh bag itself gradually emerges from the water.
All the elves couldn't help but take a breath!
I saw all kinds of fish crowded behind the net, and at a glance it looked like a colorful flowerbed! The tighter the net is, the clearer the results become—there are at least tens of thousands of marine fish crowded in the upper part of the net alone, not to mention that most of them are still underwater!
The sharp-eyed elves have noticed that not only fish were caught with the trawl, but also crabs, prawns, turtles, and some weird things that couldn't be named.
Along the specially erected ramp, six celestial instruments worked together to drag the heavy net bag onto the tree boat.
The last step is to untie the noose at the bottom of the net, let the entire net stand upright, and dump all the fish inside from the bottom.
After a while, a majestic "fish mountain" appeared on Noah's tree boat.
Countless sea fish were trapped in the mountains, struggling to open their mouths, while crabs and other prey that could still move fled in all directions, trying to return to the embrace of the sea - but at this time no one cared about the fish that slipped through the net, because this time Zuoyu Mountain is so huge that it makes people feel that wasting a little bit of seafood is not a big deal.
When harvesting Echinacea, not to mention big fish, even the wrapped fresh shrimps and fry must be collected carefully.
This difference alone is enough for everyone present to understand that the efficiency of sea net fishing is not only better than that of tree crops, but a crushing victory.
Such a large amount of fish can already consume the tree boat for a while.
But this is just the first network, and it only takes an hour and a half.
If you catch one four or five times a day, how much will you harvest
There is no doubt that this number will be staggeringly large.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock - they realized for the first time that the concept of fishing had undergone earth-shaking changes from the moment the trawl net entered the water.
