Soon, Xiang Yang realized that he was overly suspicious.
The killer whale's title of Ocean God of War is not given casually; it is earned through battle after battle.
After being hit, the killer whale just churned under the water for a while before surfacing again.
But this time, the killer whale shook its big pointed head and didn't dare to approach the humpback whales again.
Xiang Yang secretly thought that the humpback whale was indeed at the top of the food chain, and even the usually domineering killer whale could not do anything to it.
As the humpback whales got closer, the group of killer whales began to retreat and swam backwards.
It was not known whether the humpback whales were concerned about the humpback whale calf, but after repelling the killer whales, they did not pursue them.
The battle came and ended quickly. Soon, the group of killer whales disappeared from Xiang Yang's sight. Only a few killer whales were left, still patrolling the sea anxiously.
"It's finally over. I thought I would kill the fish." Fang Youqun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing this.
Xiang Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that.
Whether it is a killer whale, a blue whale, or a humpback whale, they are all dominant species in the entire sea.
It's not so easy for such marine creatures to die.
The ordinary crew members were talking about the previous scene.
Xiang Yang and the captains of the fleet gathered on the icebreaker and began to discuss the next route of the fleet.
After a heated discussion.
"Let's go to the Ice Lake Islands first, rest there for half a day, and then head directly to the Weddell Sea. What do you think?" Gao Chuang seemed to be asking, but he had already stood up from his seat. In fact, he was not prepared to discuss with anyone at all.
Xiang Yang was a little worried.
The Glacier Islands are not actually a group of islands, but a large piece of drifting ice that lies between the sea where they are currently located and the Weddell Sea on the map.
Some of these icebergs are even larger than real islands, and their history of existence is measured in billions of years.
The icebergs that normally flow freely gathered together. Xiang Yang could imagine that it must have been the strong wind that brought these icebergs together.
Xiang Yang didn't know whether Gao Chuang's decision was right. In Xiang Yang's opinion, there would still be considerable risks even if the fleet was just on the edge of the ice floes.
However, since Gao Chuang had already made the decision, Xiang Yang couldn't say much.
Because this place is already deep in the Antarctic Circle, there are actually ice floes everywhere on the sea, and the fleet itself is at risk of being trapped by ice floes at any time.
Soon, Xiang Yang returned to his ship, and then the fleet began to sail slowly.
Because of the drifting ice, the fleet was not sailing very fast.
Chen Qingsheng found Xiang Yang and said, "Captain, why don't we cast a net and try it out? The water here is deep enough and the krill resources are abundant. It's a good place for trawling."
Xiang Yang didn't run to the side of the ship to look at the bottom of the sea. He just nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange it."
At the current speed of fishing boats, the fuel consumption is the same whether towing the net or not. Xiang Yang doesn't need to check the underwater fishery resources at all, because as long as the net is not empty, Xiang Yang will make money.
Moreover, this trip has lasted for such a long time, and although a lot of seafood has been harvested, the net has not been cast much. Xiang Yang also wants to cast a net and try his luck.
After getting Xiang Yang's approval, Chen Qingsheng quickly said, "Okay, Captain, I'll make the arrangements now."
Xiang Yang nodded comfortably to show his agreement.
At times like this, the role of a good first mate on the ship comes into play. Xiang Yang only needs to watch while Chen Qingsheng arranges everything on the ship in order.
Not long after Chen Qingsheng left, Xiang Yang heard a "cracking" sound coming from above his head. It was the sound of the ice on the surface of the frozen winch breaking and falling when it was operating.
The sound was a bit loud, and Xiang Yang couldn't help but take another look at it. He felt a little worried in his heart whether the winch could still be used normally.
Fortunately, Xiang Yang's ship was advanced enough and the quality of the winch on the ship was impeccable. Even though the surface of the winch was covered with a layer of transparent ice, the fishing net still reached the sea smoothly, and then was automatically spread in the sea under the action of the tide.
The people on several fishing boats nearby may have seen Xiang Yang casting the net, so they began to cast the net as well. Soon, the entire fleet, except for the two icebreakers and several cargo ships, began to trawling forward, catching fish while traveling, greatly improving the efficiency of their work.
Xiang Yang returned to the cabin, set the alarm for one hour, and took a short nap.
When Xiang Yang woke up, the fishing boat was sailing even slower.
After asking the driver and learning that the fishing boat had not reduced its horsepower, Xiang Yang's face instantly flashed with excitement. This situation could only mean that there was a big harvest in the fishing net.
"Chen Qingsheng." Xiang Yang shouted loudly.
Chen Qingsheng, who was smoking on the side of the boat, threw away his cigarette butt immediately and ran over quickly, "Captain, I'm here."
"Have you closed the net?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Not yet. On the boat, do you think we should close the net now?" Chen Qingsheng asked.
Xiang Yang nodded, "More than an hour, that's enough, let's try to close the net."
Chen Qingsheng quickly said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Soon, the winch made another "cracking" sound, and the fishing net slowly floated to the surface and returned to the deck under the traction of the winch.
"So many." The moment Xiang Yang saw the bulging fishing net, he was stunned. The seafood caught in this net was much more than Xiang Yang had imagined.
"It shouldn't be all krill." Xiang Yang said this, and then quickly walked to the stern of the ship.
Next to him, Chen Qingsheng smiled and said, "Captain, don't worry. We use a medium-mesh fishing net. Even if there are krill in the net, there won't be many."
When Xiang Yang heard this, his face immediately became more joyful.
When Xiang Yang walked from the cabin to the stern of the deck, Fang Youqun and other crew members were already holding harpoons and standing in two rows at the stern, waiting to cast the net.
Xiang Yang saw joy on their faces.
"Brother Yang, you've made a fortune. Fish, lots and lots of fish." Fang Youqun said excitedly when he saw Xiang Yang coming over, holding a harpoon in one hand and pointing at the fishing net that was stretched into a ball with the other.
Fang Youqun has been following Xiang Yang for quite some time now, and he is no longer the boy from the fishing village who has never seen the world. Many times, he has personally participated in the great harvests.
But this is the first time Fang Youqun has seen such a large catch.
Looking up, I saw a fishing net full of fishery resources. Even the fishing net was stretched into a ball shape, and the winch that pulled the fishing net was overwhelmed and kept making "clicking" sounds.
