As for whether there will be a net loss
The answer is yes.
Although there are inexhaustible fish catches in the ocean, those catches are scattered across the four oceans, and it is normal to catch nothing when diving.
But think about it from another perspective.
Isn't it true that when distant-water fishing vessels cast their nets, there are times when their nets are empty
The red envelopes Xiang Yang gave to the crew members were much cheaper than the fuel consumed by an ocean-going fishing boat towing a net.
So everything has two sides. If you look at the problem from different angles, you will get different answers.
Moreover, Xiang Yang was carrying a mysterious jade shell, which gave him a great advantage when he was on the seabed. He could accurately find the sea area with the most catches.
Everyone got on board.
The driving crew steered the fishing boat and headed out to the open sea.
The Qinglongwan Sea is actually very vast. They sailed southeast for about half an hour and were still within the Qinglongwan Sea.
Xiang Yang ordered people to stop the fishing boats on the sea, and then began to organize people to go to sea.
There are a total of seventy-one diving suits on the ship, one of which is exclusively for Xiang Yang, and the remaining seventy are prepared for the crew.
"Tang Bao, you can also participate in this competition, but you have one more task than others." Xiang Yang shouted to Tang Bao.
Tang Bao quickly stood at attention and asked, "Captain, what is the mission? Tell me."
He was a diver specially invited by Xiang Yang.
Chen Qingsheng would not ask him to do overtime work, he did not understand the affairs of the engine room department, and Master Xu would not assign him any work. During this period of time, he always felt that he was a redundant person on the ship but was receiving a higher salary, and he felt very guilty about it.
Hearing Xiang Yang say that he had assigned him a task today, Tang Bao became particularly excited and took it very seriously.
He was finally able to be put to use.
Of course, there is definitely a hint of uneasiness.
"Don't be so serious, relax." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, Captain." Tang Bao answered loudly.
Xiang Yang covered his head, and the boy's expression became even more serious.
"Among our new crew members, some may not know how to dive yet, or their diving movements are not very standard. There are some hidden dangers. Your task is to teach everyone how to dive," said Xiang Yang.
Tang Bao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. This task was not difficult for him.
But the next moment, he frowned again.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Why, is it difficult?"
"No." Tang Bao said implicitly: "It's just that we have too many people, I may not be able to teach them all by myself."
Xiang Yang laughed in silence. So that's what happened. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, our veteran crew members can all dive and they will help you. Besides, our new crew members are not all landlubbers. More than half of them grew up by the sea, and the rest graduated from maritime universities. I believe diving is not difficult."
"Yeah." Tang Bao nodded quickly.
The crew began to change into diving suits.
Some new crew members were very surprised to see the diving suits because they had never seen such diving suits before.
In fact, Xiang Yang spent a lot of effort to get this batch of diving suits. They are also full-body diving suits, but not as bulky as before. They can move better and more flexibly underwater, and are also not afraid of attacks from poisonous creatures such as sea snakes and jellyfish.
"After entering the water, new crew members are not allowed to leave the old crew members for more than ten meters. Those who have never dived before must stay close to Tang Bao or Chen Qingsheng after entering the water." Xiang Yang issued the last order before entering the water.
The crew members nodded in agreement.
Although the reward offered by Xiang Yang was very generous, everyone was no longer a child and knew that life was more important than money. Safety was above all else after entering the water and no one dared to joke with their own life.
Chen Qingsheng also instructed several veteran crew members who had excellent diving skills to not only focus on the catch after they go down, but also pay attention to the new crew members.
After all, in a competition, friendship comes first and results come second.
After everyone changed into diving suits, Xiang Yang stretched his body a little, and then was the first to jump into the water. This was Xiang Yang's habit; whenever there was a need to go into the water, he would be the first to do so.
When the crew members at the back saw Xiang Yang going into the water, they immediately followed and dived into the water one by one like falling dumplings.
After Xiang Yang jumped into the water, he didn't actually swim far away. He just hid under the water and watched how the crew members performed.
Sure enough, as Xiang Yang expected, several people did not adapt immediately after entering the water. They either floated on the water and could not sink, or were in a panic in the sea.
However, no one is a landlubber.
After about a few minutes, everyone slowly adapted to diving and began to dive underwater in an orderly manner.
Of course, to say how well they dive is a bit far-fetched.
Xiang Yang saw several crew members walking on the seabed, and they were staggering as if they had lost gravity. Usually, if they took a step forward, they would take several steps back if they exerted too much force.
Fortunately, the shore of Qinglongwan is a non-industrial area and the tourism industry is not well developed. Due to the sparse population, the sea water is not polluted. The nearby sea water is very clear and the old crew members can see the movements of the new crew members underwater.
Under the guidance of the veteran crew members, many people began to gradually master the skills of diving.
Xiang Yang mainly paid attention to Tang Bao, because he was the only professional diver who was trained in diver training.
Tang Bao's performance did not disappoint Xiang Yang. His diving skills were indeed superb. Although he could not be as agile as Xiang Yang on the seabed, he was still impeccable.
Xiang Yang also discovered something else. He found that among the crew members recruited from the Maritime University, several had very advanced diving skills.
For example, Xia Pengjie is a very good diver.
But at this moment, he was at the bottom of the sea, looking like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
A sea fish as long as a palm swam past him, and he opened his mouth into an O shape and watched for a long time.
A sea urchin rolled past his feet and he swam down to take a look.
Xiang Yang was speechless. These were all very common marine creatures. Could it be that Xia Pengjie had never seen them before
And this is not an isolated case.
Many people behaved like Xia Pengjie, just like a curious baby.
Xiang Yang stared at the crew for a long time, making sure that no one was in trouble, then turned around and began to look for catch on the seabed.
It can't be said that he was looking for fish, because Xiang Yang now saw a swimming crab bigger than a palm hidden in a crevice on the side of the rock, but he didn't try to catch it.
Xiang Yang now has something more important than catching fish, which is to confirm whether the seafood near this sea area is abundant or scarce.
