Xiang Yang looked at the gloves on his hands and took them off naturally. "Okay, I'll go back to the cabin to change into a pair of gloves. I'll leave this to you."
"The snow has been cleared, what else is there to do here?" Fang Youqun asked puzzledly.
Xiang Yang paused and looked back at Fang Youqun speechlessly.
"Captain, leave this to me, you go and deal with the gloves." Chen Qingsheng said quickly.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, I'll go first then."
Seeing Xiang Yang leave, Fang Youqun hurriedly said, "Brother Qing, Brother Yang hasn't said what he's going to do yet, so what is he going to leave to you?"
Chen Qingsheng rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Throw this sea god beetle into the sea, and then fill the water tank with sea water to prevent these green-lipped abalone from dying."
"Oh, oh, so that's what it is." Fang Youqun said with a look of sudden enlightenment.
On the other side, Xiang Yang returned to the cabin and took off his gloves, but did not throw them away immediately. Instead, he put the gloves in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully.
"There really are stinging cells." Xiang Yang frowned.
Stinging cells are a type of cell unique to coelenterates. They are generally distributed on the tentacles and body surface of coelenterates and are composed of several parts, including the cover, nematocysts and stinging threads.
"It's really dangerous." Xiang Yang picked up a plastic bag and wrapped the gloves, then threw it into the trash can.
Then he turned around and went to the bathroom to wash his hands before changing into a new pair of warm gloves.
Back on the deck, the three water tanks containing green-lipped abalone had been rearranged under the leadership of Chen Qingsheng and filled with sea water.
"Has the Poseidon beetle been thrown back into the sea?" Xiang Yang asked.
"It has been thrown back. I looked at the tip of the clamp that caught the Poseidon beetle, and found no stinging cells." Chen Qingsheng said.
"Well done. That thing should be a kind of Poseidon slug. Because of the special geographical environment of Antarctica, it eventually evolved into the appearance of a Poseidon beetle. There are some stinging cells on my gloves. Have you washed the clips?" Xiang Yang asked.
Chen Qingsheng nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I'm reliable."
Xiang Yang nodded. Indeed, when it comes to security, Chen Qingsheng is very reliable.
As for the lost Poseidon beetle, Xiang Yang didn't feel it was a pity at all.
Although, even Xiang Yang had never seen that Poseidon beetle, it was very likely the product of a different evolutionary direction of the Poseidon slug. If he took it back, it might be worth a lot of money.
But Xiang Yang knew better that his ship was just a fishing boat, not a scientific research vessel.
Faced with these unknown marine creatures that have never been seen before, the best option is to throw them back into the ocean.
"Hello, hello, Xiang Yang, calling Xiang Yang, is Xiang Yang there?" At this time, Gao Chuang's voice came from the intercom on Xiang Yang's chest.
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment. Except for the time when the snowstorm just started and Gao Chuang kept talking on the walkie-talkie, Xiang Yang hadn't heard Gao Chuang speak for a long time.
"Hello, Mr. Gao, I'm Xiang Yang. How much damage did the fleet suffer?" Xiang Yang asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry about the losses for now. They are just a small matter. What's the situation over there? Are there any casualties?" Gao Chuang asked.
Xiang Yang immediately said, "No, as soon as the blizzard started, I took my crew members to hide in the cabin, and no one was injured."
"I'm glad no one was injured. Damn, this blizzard is so severe, it's almost reaching level 12. I almost died here. Fortunately, the wind and waves have stopped. You bring the chief engineer on your ship to the icebreaker later, and we'll have a party to celebrate." Gao Chuang laughed.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Yes, escaping death is indeed worth celebrating, but I won't attend the party. This is the first time for me and my crew to encounter such a strong storm. Although many brothers were not injured, they were all scared. I am preparing to hold a party with everyone on the boat."
"That's why you have to come to the icebreaker even more. Tell me, with you and the chief engineer here, how can your crew members let loose at the party? Can it be called a party if no one gets drunk?" Gao Chuang laughed.
Normally, there are two direct persons in charge on every ship, namely the captain and the chief engineer.
The captain is the highest commander on the ship, and the chief engineer is the chief technical officer of the ship's mechanical, electrical and power equipment.
The chief engineer on Xiang Yang's ship was Xu Fang.
However, because Xiang Yang is both the captain and the owner of the fishing boat, Xiang Yang's fishing boat has always been under the sole leadership of Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang rubbed his head. He had already declined Gao Chuang's invitation once. Now Gao Chuang invited him again, and it was not easy for Xiang Yang to refuse for the second time. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to Gao Chuang.
"Okay, but I may have to wait a while before I can come over. The deck is a mess now, and I have to clean it up first." Xiang Yang said.
"Ha, why are you still cleaning up? The deck will be even more messy after the banquet. Come here quickly, finish your drinks first, and then we can clean it up together." Gao Chuang said.
Xiang Yang wanted to say something else, but Gao Chuang did not give Xiang Yang the chance and said directly: "I'll go notify others first, you hurry up." After that, a dead tone came from the intercom. Obviously, Gao Chuang had switched to another intercom terminal.
Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly, looked at Xu Fang and said, "Master Xu, you heard what Boss Gao said."
Xu Fang grinned, "There's food and drink, that's a good thing."
Xiang Yang smiled slightly. It seemed that Xu Fang was in a good mood after surviving the disaster.
Normally, Xu Fang didn't like to join in the fun. Even at the banquets held on Xiang Yang's own boat, Xu Fang usually ate more and talked less.
Then Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng again, "Master Chen, Master Xu and I will go to Boss Gao in a while, so I'll leave the boat to you."
Chen Qingsheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, no problem."
"Brother Yang, are we going to have a banquet on the boat as well?" Fang Youqun asked with shining eyes.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's hold a banquet. Go to the cold water tank and get some sturgeons and ice fish so that everyone can have a good time. Then bring out 20 boxes of beer. There will be free drinking today."
Chen Qingsheng was shocked when he heard this. "Antarctic sturgeon? This thing is not cheap."
"Feel free to take it out and eat it. If you're in a good mood today, we have other seafood as well. You can arrange them yourself, Master Chen, including these green-lipped abalone. Just take whatever you want to eat." After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and it was clear. Xiang Yang just felt in a good mood.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I guarantee you'll be hurt by the food." Chen Qingsheng grinned.
Xiang Yang just smiled when he heard that.
Chen Qingsheng was famous for being stingy. Xiang Yang was sure that Chen Qingsheng would not take out any of the most valuable top-quality seafood, except for the sturgeons that Xiang Yang ordered.
