After returning to the ship, Xiang Yang counted the crew members on board and found that everyone was on board. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
"Brother Yang, we made a lot of money this time. I feel like I have a lot of energy now. Why don't you just let me rest? I will work two shifts and make some more money." Fang Youqun said to Xiang Yang with big gulps of warm boiled water and gestures.
Just now, Fang Youqun was lucky enough to catch a green-lipped abalone of good quality and large size, and made 20,000 yuan on the spot. This money was definitely a windfall for Fang Youqun.
Fang Youqun now feels full of energy.
Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun unhappily and said, "Put away all the diving equipment and refill the oxygen tanks. We are not going into the water today."
"ah?"
The excited Fang Youqun was stunned on the spot.
Even Chen Qingsheng didn't understand why, and asked in confusion: "Captain, we have only been down there for an hour and a half."
In the past, when Xiang Yang led the crew to carry out underwater operations, it usually lasted about four hours.
This time, there were extremely precious green-lipped abalone under the sea. Logically speaking, it didn't make sense for Xiang Yang to order the work to be stopped after only working for an hour and a half.
"I know." Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, "I just saw a hammerhead shark at the bottom of the sea."
"Hammerhead shark?"
Chen Qingsheng was stunned at first, and then his face changed immediately, "Is it the hammerhead shark known as a supernatural killer?"
Xianxian nodded. "Yes, it is the hammerhead shark that is said to have a sixth sense. The group of hammerhead sharks also discovered us, but it may be because they have never seen humans before, and we are outnumbered, so they did not attack us."
Chen Qingsheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, it felt like they had just been to the gates of hell.
"Brother Yang, what is a hammerhead shark?" Fang Youqun asked stupidly.
Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun and explained some basic characteristics of the hammerhead shark to everyone.
Now, even the fearless Fang Youqun became afraid. He frowned and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? There really is a sixth sense in this world?"
Xiang Yang was too lazy to deal with this anymore and gave the order directly: "Okay, everyone has worked hard today, let's take a good rest on the deck, and then have a seafood hot pot in the evening."
The crew members nodded one after another. Although the green-lipped abalone under this sea area was very tempting, life was more important. After knowing that there were hammerhead sharks under this sea area, no one insisted on going into the water anymore.
"Oh, I can't go into the water anymore. It's so boring." Fang Youqun took off his diving equipment, shook his arms, kicked his feet, ran to the side of the boat, and uttered a meaningless complaint to the sea.
Suddenly, Fang Youqun rubbed his eyes and looked towards the sea ahead with some disbelief.
"Brother Yang, Brother Qing, come here quickly, look, there is a duck over there." Fang Youqun shouted loudly.
"How is this possible?" Xiang Yang certainly didn't believe Fang Youqun's words. Not to mention that it was impossible for a duck to swim so far, even if it swam over, it would be impossible for it to survive in such extreme weather.
Chen Qingsheng even shouted directly: "Duck you, if you can't find a duck for me later, I will beat you into a duck."
Obviously, Chen Qingsheng didn't believe what Fang Youqun said either.
However, Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng still turned their heads to look at the sea.
"Huh?" Xiang Yang saw that not far from the fishing boat, there was a strange seabird with a gray-brown back, a snow-white head and a light yellow beak. It was drifting on the sea. At first glance, it really looked like a duck.
"This is the Wandering Albatross." Xiang Yang said with certainty.
The Wandering Albatross is a species of albatross that is generally found in the oceans and islands surrounding Antarctica, as well as on the coasts of the southern hemisphere continents.
At the same time, the wandering albatross is the largest species of albatross and has the longest wingspan of all birds.
"It doesn't seem to be a duck. It is much bigger than ordinary ducks." Fang Youqun concluded after staring at the wandering albatross for a long time.
"Of course. The wingspan of a wandering albatross can reach an average of three meters, and the longest can reach four meters. It has the longest wingspan of all birds," Xiang Yang affirmed.
"So long? Wouldn't that mean that when the wings spread out they would be bigger than mine?" Fang Youqun asked in amazement.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.
Chen Qingsheng glanced at Fang Youqun and said with disdain, "Fang Youqun, what on earth are you looking at? You actually mistook such a beautiful Wandering Albatross for a duck."
The wandering albatross has a very beautiful appearance, with small claws, slender wings, a sharp beak and huge wings. It has been deeply loved by humans since the day it was discovered.
Fang Youqun said aggrievedly: "I am so far away from it, how can I see it clearly? Besides, when you look at it now, do you dare to say that it didn't look like a duck when you first saw it?"
When Xiang Yang heard this, he burst into laughter.
Because Xiang Yang discovered that Fang Youqun was right. At this moment, the wandering albatross was floating leisurely on the sea. The feathers on its back were gray, and its body was as plump as a duck. It really looked a bit like a big duck.
"Don't be fooled by its appearance. Although it looks like a duck, it is actually one of the best gliding birds." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The wandering albatross is famous for its effortless flying. Fishermen once recorded that the wandering albatross could glide in the sky following a ship for several hours without flapping its wings. It was based on the albatross that humans invented the glider.
When the wings of a wandering albatross are spread out, their length is truly amazing, just like the wings of a glider.
This pair of huge wings makes the wandering albatross a super flyer on the sea.
The Wandering Albatross is able to glide forward quickly and can also make sharp turns in the air.
This adaptability to speed and long-distance flight allows albatrosses to take off from their breeding grounds on islands and soar over the vast ocean.
In windy weather conditions, albatrosses can remain aloft for hours without flapping their wings.
Fang Youqun stared at the Wandering Albatross for a while, and then asked eagerly, "Brother Yang, is this Wandering Albatross a protected animal? If not, I'm going to take action."
Fang Youqun had seen other albatrosses besides the wandering albatross before, but they were protected animals and Fang Youqun did not dare to catch them.
