Of course, Xiang Yang later found out that every time the flying fish flew, there was a big fish chasing it, and the flying fish could only sprint for its life to survive.
"Um?"
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and said, "Fang Youqun, give me the telescope in your hand."
"I haven't seen enough, you can use Brother Qing's." Fang Youqun held the binoculars in both hands and looked at it with great interest.
"Captain, here you go." Chen Qingsheng quickly handed the telescope in his hand to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang took it and looked directly under the water.
Chen Qingsheng walked up to Fang Youqun and snatched the binoculars from his hand, "Don't look at it anymore. I'll let you see enough in a moment."
"Ah?" Fang Youqun looked at Chen Qingsheng in confusion.
Chen Qingsheng had no intention of paying attention to Fang Youqun. He walked to Xiang Yang, raised the telescope, and looked under the sea behind the school of flying fish.
"Captain, do you see what kind of fish are chasing those flying fish?" Chen Qingsheng asked.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "How much did you buy this telescope for? It's impossible to see clearly."
"Do we want to drive the boat over?" Chen Qingsheng asked.
Xiang Yang put down the telescope and nodded, "There is a large group of flying fish fleeing in a hurry, so there must be big fish chasing behind them. Wait a minute, I will discuss with Boss Gao and go over to catch some fish."
"Yes, Captain, I'm ready." Chen Qingsheng said quickly.
Xiang Yang took out the walkie-talkie and called Gao Chuang.
Soon, Gao Chuang's voice came from the intercom, "What's up? Xiang Yang."
"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, how do you know it's me calling you?" Xiang Yang asked puzzledly.
The walkie-talkies used by the fleet are all high-power walkie-talkies specially designed for use at sea. They are single-frequency, and each walkie-talkie corresponds to one signal. The party being called does not know who is calling him until the other party speaks.
"Besides me, how many other people have called you? I'm the same as you, you're the only one who called me. The ships in my own fleet are all equipped with matching communication systems. The one who called me was either you or Wu Shiwen. Wu Shiwen has never called me before, so who else could it be if not you?" Gao Chuang said.
Xiang Yang blushed, "So you got me the intercom just to communicate with me?"
"Let's talk business. What is it?" Gao Chuang said directly.
Xiang Yang said: "Mr. Gao, look at the ten o'clock direction."
"What about the ten o'clock direction?" Gao Chuang asked.
"There is a group of fish flying." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"What a joke, how could a fish... Huh? A flying fish?" Gao Chuang said in surprise.
"Yes, that's right. Do you think we should go over and take a look?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
"We have to go over there, of course we have to go over there. The fish that can make flying fish fly are most likely swordfish or sailfish. There is no reason not to catch them if we encounter them." Gao Chuang laughed.
"Okay, then I'll go first and you guys follow me." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Chen Qingsheng at the side asked in a low voice: "Captain, should I go and tell Old Xu?"
"Well, go ahead." Xiang Yang nodded.
After ending the call with Gao Chuang, Xiang Yang looked at the school of flying fish with a smile, feeling very happy.
As the fishing boat changed direction, Xiang Yang got closer and closer to the school of flying fish.
At this time, Xiang Yang also saw the flying fish clearly.
When those flying fish are flying in the air, they can really be described as panic-stricken and their flying postures are extremely exaggerated.
In Xiang Yang's heart, he felt a sense of admiration for these flying fish.
Xiang Yang felt that billions of years ago, there must have been a flying fish that refused to admit defeat. At the moment when its life was about to end, it leaped out of the water with all its might.
Xiang Yang could imagine the scene when the flying fish rushed out of the water.
The predator's huge mouth disappeared, and it seemed to have entered another world.
The cold air brushed over its body, and the flying fish spread its fins into the wind and found that it was actually flying!
In this way, the flying fish escaped the disaster and became the first flying fish. Later, more and more of its kind learned to fly, and their fins eventually became a pair of invisible wings.
Of course, this is just Xiang Yang's imagination.
In fact, flying fish are not free just because they can fly.
The sky above the sea is the territory of flying birds, and flying fish are simply lunch delivered to the seabirds.
After falling back into the water, the sailfish and swordfish continued to chase after it.
The flying fish that managed to escape still have to face the trap set by humans.
A flying fish is actually just a poor sea fish that is attacked from both sides and ambushed from all sides, trying to survive in the cracks.
Fortunately, in addition to flying, flying fish have another magic weapon to fight against fate, that is, their super strong reproductive ability.
April and May every year is the breeding season for flying fish. They will gather into large schools and head to sea areas suitable for spawning.
The surface of flying fish eggs has thread-like protrusions, which are very suitable for sticking to other objects.
When they arrive at the spawning grounds, flying fish will search for every floating object on the sea surface and hang their eggs on it until it sinks to the bottom of the sea.
Even for ships, it would be very dangerous if they encountered a school of flying fish that were spawning, because if the fish eggs hanging on the bottom of the ship were not cleaned up in time, the ship would eventually capsize due to the weight.
The reproductive ability of flying fish is so terrifying.
There is a record in the strange book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that in Taiqi Mountain, Guanshui flows out and flows westward into Liusha. It is a multi-patterned ray, shaped like a carp, with a fish body and bird wings, with gray patterns and a white head and red beak. It travels to the West Sea and swims in the East Sea, flying at night...
The Shan Hai Jing says that flying fish is "manta ray", which swims in the East China Sea and flies at night. Seeing them means a good harvest. This is the earliest written record of flying fish.
"Brother Yang, are these flying fish valuable?" Fang Youqun asked Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang shook his head, "It's not worth much. We mainly go to catch those fish that are preying on flying fish."
"That's great." Fang Youqun said excitedly.
Xiang Yang looked at Fang Youqun in confusion, "I said flying fish is not worth much, and you said it's too good?"
Chen Qingsheng also tilted his head to look at Fang Youqun, "Are you Fang Youqun?"
Fang Youqun rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Yang, I want to take two flying fish back. If they are valuable, I don't know how to ask for it. Since they are not valuable, then it should be okay for me to take two, right?"
Xiang Yang smiled when he heard it, "You want to take it home to raise it?"
Fang Youqun nodded immediately and looked at Xiang Yang eagerly.
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "Of course it's okay for me to let you take two back. I'm just afraid that you'll be disappointed when you see those flying fish later."
There is nothing unusual about flying fish in the water. They are not huge, and they don't have spikes or venom to protect themselves. Their size is just the right size to make them a delicious meal for predators.
In order to avoid dangers in the water, flying fish often swim in the upper layer of the sea, relying on the rising and falling waves to play a life-and-death game of hide-and-seek with big fish.
Once discovered, the only option is to run. Only the flying fish that are desperately escaping are the most beautiful flying fish.
