Xiang Yang quickly called out to Fang Youqun, "Fang Youqun, what do you want to do?"
Fang Youqun froze for a moment, turned around and looked at Xiang Yang, and asked blankly: "Brother Yang, does this big fish bite people?"
Xiang Yang shook his head. "Come on up, this killer whale is injured now. Let's go play with it after it recovers."
Most of the crew immediately climbed onto the deck.
However, there are still a few people who stay in the sea and are unwilling to come out.
Fang Youqun was one of them. He shouted, "Brother Yang, should we help this big fish clean the barnacles off its body? Didn't you say that barnacles are the biggest enemy of whales? And the barnacles that are cleaned off are also very valuable."
The barnacles on the whales travel across the oceans with the whales and live with the whales in the waters richest in microorganisms. Most of them are very plump and are very rare delicacies, and their prices are very high.
However, Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "There are no barnacles on killer whales."
Most whales have barnacles, which are disgusting things.
But killer whales are definitely an outlier among whales.
Although the killer whale’s name is whale, its bloodline is actually more like that of a dolphin.
Each killer whale is a highly social creature, and killer whales are very smart. They know how to help each other and get rid of barnacles growing on their bodies.
Therefore, the bodies of killer whales are generally very clean, and you can hardly see any barnacles.
Fang Youqun stared at the killer whale carefully for a while and was extremely surprised. "It's really like that. I didn't even see a single barnacle on this killer whale."
"Okay, come up." Xiang Yang ordered.
This time, Fang Youqun reluctantly let go of the killer whale and climbed onto the deck.
"Let this killer whale follow us? Can we still catch fish?" Chen Qingsheng asked.
Xiang Yang nodded, "No problem, killer whales are very close to humans. There are often groups of killer whales following, chasing and playing behind fishing boats, and those fishing boats still catch fish."
How could a distant-water fishing boat, which is so big that the rumbling sound of its engine as it passes through the sea not scare away the fish, be scared away by a killer whale following behind it
Moreover, killer whales have extremely strong hiding abilities.
In nature, sometimes a group of killer whales will even follow a prey from a distance for several days and nights in order to hunt it. When they find an opportunity, they will quickly attack and capture the prey in one fell swoop.
During the entire process, the prey has no idea that it is being followed.
Because of this habit of killer whales, few prey targeted by killer whales can escape.
Of course, if a humpback whale shows up, everything will be a different story.
"Continue sailing?" Xu Fang asked Xiang Yang.
"Let's count the number of people first, and then continue sailing." Xiang Yang had seen the seabed of this sea area when he went there before. There were large stretches of underwater beaches and reefs. Although there were some seaweeds, they were not lush and the fishery resources were not very sufficient.
In addition, with the previous disturbance by the three dominant marine creatures, the porbeagle shark, the killer whale, and the humpback whale, the few fish that were already there all hid, and the fishery resources became even less, so Xiang Yang had no interest in casting a net here or sending people to dive and fish.
soon.
After Chen Qingsheng counted the number of people, he said, "Captain, everyone is on board, we can set off."
"Let's go," Xiang Yang ordered.
Xu Fang quickly ran to the cockpit. He no longer needed to drive the boat himself, but he would always sit in the co-pilot's seat to deal with possible emergencies.
After all, the drivers on Xiang Yang's ship are too young. Although they are all trained in driving schools, their actual driving experience is just like that of novice drivers who have just finished the fourth subject and graduated from a driving school.
The fishing boat continued sailing.
The two humpback whales slowly lagged behind the boat, following far behind.
The killer whales followed closely behind the stern of the boat, appearing and disappearing in the rolling white waves.
"Brother Yang, this big fish is really following us." A crew member said in amazement.
Xiang Yang was not surprised.
A single killer whale is already extremely timid, not to mention that this killer whale is injured. It absolutely dares not leave alone to find its pod.
Xiang Yang took a sip of milk tea happily, then waved and greeted the killer whale behind the boat.
The fishing boat had been sailing for a long time and Zhang Qicheng was getting a little impatient. Although the space on an ocean-going fishing boat was much larger than that of a drift net fishing boat, in reality, there was only so much space to move around. In the ocean where there was no land in sight and the scenery was unchanging, it was easy for humans to get visually fatigued.
"Brother Xiang, aren't you going to cast your net yet?" Zhang Qicheng urged.
Xiang Yang opened his mobile phone, which was connected to the ship's sonar detection system. "Look, given the current situation, can we cast a net?"
Zhang Qicheng took Xiang Yang's phone and looked at it carefully for a long time. After a while, he handed the phone back to Xiang Yang and said, "I don't understand."
Xiang Yang smiled and pointed at the screen, saying, "This is the intuitive picture detected by the Shennar system under our ship. These red dots are floating objects between the sea surface and the seabed. If nothing goes wrong, they are fish."
Zhang Qicheng looked at the red dots and asked in surprise, "So few?"
Xiang Yang shrugged.
Things like sonar detectors seem to be very high-end, as if with this thing, every network will not be empty.
However, if the sonar detection system was really that easy to use, fishermen wouldn't have it so hard.
Countless fish were scattered across the vast ocean, leaving no trace behind.
The sonar detection system can detect the seabed, but what is the range of its detection
It is not so easy to detect a school of fish passing by a fishing boat. The probability of this happening is as small as winning the lottery.
In fact, the function of this machine is very limited.
In fact, Xiang Yang never expected that the sonar system would be able to contribute to his fishing career.
Xiang Yang was already very satisfied that he could use the Shenna system to cover up his mysterious preparations and hide his own uniqueness.
Zhang Qicheng stared at the screen eagerly for a while, then asked Xiang Yang: "There are so few fish in this sea area, where did you catch those fish you caught before?"
"Luck." Xiang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Distant-sea fishing is really all about luck. Many fishermen go out to sea for a month or two and catch nothing, but instead bring back a truckload of marine garbage. Even more fishermen go out to sea several times a year, each time for several months, and when they actually catch fish, they only catch one or two nets. It's really hard to describe."
Zhang Qicheng smiled and handed the phone back to Xiang Yang. "Brother Xiang, you are really lucky. One trip out to sea can make as much as other fishermen make in a year."
