Soon, night fell.
Xiang Yang and the crew held a sumptuous dinner on the deck, allowing the crew who had been tired all day to have a good meal.
After dinner, Xiang Yang returned to the cabin and prepared to sleep. Although he was not very tired today, he still had to work tomorrow and might be very busy all day, so he had to rest early tonight.
Although the profit from doing nothing is already quite generous, no one would want to make too much spare money.
At night, Xiang Yang gradually fell asleep.
But the fleet did not stop, and continued to move towards Qinglong Bend at a very slow speed.
The next morning, the fleet had left the Quanzhou Strait and arrived at a clear sea area.
As soon as the fleet arrived at this sea area, the number of ships on the sea immediately decreased.
This sea area is actually an inland sea for fishermen. The fishery resources are very scarce and not many ships are willing to fish in such sea areas.
But for Xiang Yang, it is a Feng Shui treasure land.
Such sea areas usually mean that the underwater fishery resources are very rich.
Naturally, Xiang Yang began to organize the crew to go to the sea for diving and fishing.
"This is a coral sea area, and the water is not very deep. The average depth is only about 50 to 60 meters, and the deepest is no more than 100 meters. With the diving equipment on our ship, we can carry out diving operations easily." Xiang Yang said to the crew while putting on a diving suit.
"I'm really looking forward to the underwater Iron Man suit that Boss Li mentioned. Brother Yang, when we go back this time, the diving suit that Boss Li borrowed should be arriving. Can you lend it to me then?" Fang Youqun said.
Xiang Yang looked at Fang Youqun curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Fang Youqun said: "I want to go to the deep water area to take a look."
Xiang Yang burst out laughing when he heard this and said, "For you, this set of diving equipment is definitely enough. There is nothing to see in the deep sea. The sea water is pitch black and you can't see anything. Besides, I still don't know how much Mr. Li charges for renting the diving equipment for a day, but it must be expensive. After use, you must return it quickly, so there is no time for you to go to the deep sea area."
Xia Pengjie on the side also said: "In fact, the waters at a depth of 150 meters are not much different from those at a depth of 300 meters. Under such a deep water, the light is already very dim, basically pitch black. If you really want to go down and feel it, you can train your lung capacity well, and then wear this set of diving equipment, and it is possible to go down to a depth of 150 meters."
"Don't talk nonsense. You have to do everything within your ability. Is it so easy to train your lung capacity?" Xiang Yang said speechlessly.
Xiang Yang didn't dare let Xia Pengjie continue speaking in front of Fang Youqun.
If these words were heard by other crew members, they would just let them go in one ear and out the other. But Fang Youqun is a silly guy. If he thinks what he said makes sense, he might really do something stupid.
Xia Pengjie smiled awkwardly, "Captain, I was just joking, no one will take it seriously."
"Okay, let's hurry up and go to the bottom of the sea to see if there are any valuable seafood underneath." Xiang Yang said.
The crew members nodded.
Soon, a group of people, led by Xiang Yang, went down into the sea.
"Boss." Chen Qingsheng just came down over there, and he swam towards Xiang Yang from a distance.
Xiang Yang took off his helmet and asked Chen Qingsheng, "Master Chen, what's the matter?"
At this season, the water temperature in this sea area is a bit low. If Chen Qingsheng was fine, he would not take off his breathing helmet because it is really cold.
Chen Qingsheng whispered, "Captain, the number of diving equipment we have now is far from enough."
Xiang Yang nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, that's right. In the past, the diving equipment on our ship was not fully equipped. The total number of diving equipment was a few sets less than the crew. The diving equipment on the ship has never been enough for each person, because when we go to the sea, some people must stay on the ship. It is impossible for everyone to go to the sea. So in the past, the number of diving equipment on our ship was just right. But now, there are more than 20 people on our two ships, and Wu Shiwen has to borrow several sets of diving equipment. So our diving equipment is indeed a bit stretched."
"Boss, aren't you planning to purchase another batch of diving equipment?" Chen Qingsheng asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Wait a little longer, I'll see if I can get more advanced diving equipment."
Gradually, Xiang Yang also discovered that these diving equipment eliminated from scientific research laboratories were no longer sufficient. Although they were very convenient to use and the safety of divers was sufficiently guaranteed, the diving depth of these diving equipment was too shallow.
So far, Xiang Yang has discovered several sea areas with very rich underwater fishery resources, but because the water is too deep, it is impossible to conduct large-scale diving and fishing.
"Okay, since you, boss, are already paying attention to this matter, then I'm fine." Chen Qingsheng said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Let's go to the sea."
After saying that, Xiang Yang put on his breathing helmet and sank towards the bottom of the sea.
The place where Xiang Yang landed was a bulge of rolling underwater mountains.
The sea water here is extremely shallow, only thirty or forty meters. After the sunlight shines through the sea water, everything around is still very bright.
Xiang Yang stepped on the underwater mountain range, looked around, and found that there were a lot of agar-agar growing around him.
This classic cold dish is available in large quantities all around, and can be seen everywhere.
But Xiang Yang had no intention of collecting them. He was not very interested in these agar-agar. It was okay to pick up some of them occasionally and eat them himself, but if he collected them specifically and then dragged them back to sell, the price would be too low.
After making sure that there were no ferocious marine predators around and that the crew members were safe, Xiang Yang swam towards the basin bottom of the distant rolling mountains without hesitation. The water there was deeper and the vegetation was more lush, and there must be more rare fish.
What Xiang Yang didn't know was that some people saw these agar-agar plants that he looked down upon and regarded them as treasures.
As soon as He Mingde dived into the seabed, he saw countless agar-agar blooming all around. The shiny and translucent agar-agar made He Mingde so happy that he flew away. These agar-agar were not only numerous, but also of surprisingly good quality. Some of the rhizomes were almost as big as an adult man's little finger.
Agar-agar of this quality is top-notch among all agar-agar. As long as it is fished out and dragged back to the shore, even if it is sold for 20 or 30 yuan per pound, there will be a lot of hotels rushing to buy it.
