"Is there no way to fix the rope? Stop it, I'll come over and take a look." Xiang Yang said into the intercom.
Xiang Yang had no intention of forcing Chen Qingsheng to do anything. He planned to go and take a look himself. If it really didn't work, he would just give up the internet.
When Chen Qingsheng heard that Xiang Yang was coming in person, he quickly explained, "Boss, why don't you wait a little longer and let me check it carefully."
"Don't do it anymore. Safety comes first. I'm here just to take a look." Xiang Yang said.
After saying that, Xiang Yang ended the call with Chen Qingsheng.
"Fang Youqun, go and help me prepare an inflatable boat." Xiang Yang turned and said to Fang Youqun.
Fang Youqun quickly did as he was told and soon launched a rubber boat onto the water for Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang boarded the rubber boat directly through the outer passage of the ship, and then rowed the boat towards the trawler where Chen Qingsheng was.
"boss."
"captain."
"You are here."
Chen Qingsheng and several crew members present greeted Xiang Yang immediately after seeing him.
Xiang Yang put down the oars and asked, "What's going on?"
"Boss, look, this is what it looks like now." Chen Qingsheng pointed at the large bag of fish on the sea and said helplessly.
Xiang Yang glanced at the fishing net.
Wow!
A big bag of catch floated on the water like a big hot air balloon, with fish packed tightly inside without any gaps.
"All three ships were trawlers, and they were fishing in the same sea. How come your net caught so many more fish than the other two ships?" Xiang Yang asked curiously.
Chen Qingsheng touched his head awkwardly, "I don't know, I just followed the normal operation."
"Has the fleet you were in before ever experienced a network explosion?" Xiang Yang asked Chen Qingsheng.
"It has happened." Chen Qingsheng nodded honestly.
Xiang Yang asked: "How did your fleet deal with the explosion of the net before?"
Chen Qingsheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Generally, there are only two ways to deal with a fishing boat's net bursting. One way is to abandon the net directly, and the other way is to manually add a safety rope to the fishing net and then pull the fishing net up."
Xiang Yang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The first method is definitely unrealistic.
Not to mention those fishermen who make their living from the sea, who may not be able to catch a good catch even in ten days or half a month.
Even Xiang Yang would feel reluctant to watch such a large catch being thrown away.
Chen Qingsheng had obviously tried the second method, and it didn't work.
"Give me the rope and let me try it." Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng quickly handed Xiang Yang a large rope as thick as his wrist and said, "Boss, this is for you."
Xiang Yang held the rope and asked Chen Qingsheng, "How do I wear this?"
Chen Qingsheng pointed at the fishing net and said, "Pass it through one hole and go around the entire fishing net."
Xiang Yang frowned when he heard this. "I'm afraid such a large bag of catch can't even pass through one mesh. How can it be passed around the entire fishing net? This is unrealistic."
Chen Qingsheng smiled bitterly. This was the fact, but he really didn't dare to tell Xiang Yang about it. He had to let Xiang Yang tell him the truth himself.
"Otherwise, give up the Internet cafe, boss." Chen Qingsheng said tentatively.
Xiang Yang thought about it and said directly: "Bring me a harpoon."
Although Chen Qingsheng didn't know what Xiang Yang wanted the harpoon for, he immediately handed Xiang Yang a three-pronged harpoon.
Holding a steel fork, Xiang Yang rowed the rubber boat to the edge of the fishing net, then jumped onto the fishing net.
Chen Qingsheng was stunned, and then his face changed drastically.
"Boss, you can't do this, it's too dangerous." Chen Qingsheng shouted.
Chen Qingsheng had already guessed what Xiang Yang was going to do.
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I will be careful."
That’s right, Xiang Yang’s idea was to open the net, release some of the sea fish, and then directly pull up the net.
This practice is indeed very dangerous.
Firstly, the fishing net is now in a suspended state. To untie the mesh, the fishing net has to be put back under the water surface. At least the mouth of the net has to be covered with sea water. If Xiang Yang wants to untie the mouth of the net, he can only do it under the water surface.
Secondly, with such a large bag of catch, once the net is opened, all the fish inside will swarm out of the fishing net. The impact of the fish tide is actually quite huge.
The most important point is that with such a large bag of catch, no one knows whether there will be any ferocious marine predators in it. If a shark or a swordfish swims out of it at the moment the fishing net is untied, even if Xiang Yang has ten lives, they will not be enough to lose.
Chen Qingsheng's expression changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, you go back. I'll take care of unlocking the network."
Xiang Yang shook his head and directly rejected Chen Qingsheng's proposal.
Xiang Yang had no way of telling Chen Qingsheng that he was actually very flexible underwater.
Even if the net was untied and the sea fish swarmed out, Xiang Yang was confident enough that he could avoid them.
Even if there were some ferocious marine predators in the fishing net, it would be impossible to hurt Xiang Yang.
But it’s different for Chen Qingsheng. He really works with his head down.
"All of you scatter." Xiang Yang stood on the fishing net holding a three-pronged harpoon and shouted to Chen Qingsheng and other crew members.
Chen Qingsheng's expression changed again and again. He gave in and said, "Captain, I'll go with you."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. If something is really impossible, I won't force it. It's more convenient and flexible to do it alone. With one more person, the chance of accidents is higher." Xiang Yang said.
"Go away." Xiang Yang waved his hand.
Chen Qingsheng's expression changed again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone disperse."
"Boss, you must be careful." Chen Qingsheng reminded Xiang Yang again before leaving.
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will know my limits."
What Xiang Yang said was not nonsense.
He had mysterious preparations and was not only very fast in the water, but also very agile. No matter whether it was ferocious marine predators or swarms of fleeing fish, they could not hurt Xiang Yang at all.
After Chen Qingsheng and his crew retreated far to the side, Xiang Yang raised his head and shouted to the boat, "Let go of the ropes and sink the net into the water."
On the boat, a young crew member shouted: "Boss, how much rice should we put in?"
Xiang Yang looked at the rope and shouted directly, "Let it go twenty meters first."
"Yes, boss."
Soon, the winch began to creak and the fishing net began to slowly tilt toward the bottom of the sea.
Due to buoyancy, the tilted fishing net showed no tendency to sink towards the sea surface.
