At noon, the spirit ship left the continental shelf and entered the central area of the Bay of Biscay.
The continental shelf extending from Port English to the Gulf is very long, reaching nearly 100 nautical miles. However, from this central area to the coast of Spain, there will be deep sea areas, which are also good places for tuna fishing.
Because of the vast sea area in this area, the fishing boats are scattered scattered, unlike the continental shelf where they can be seen frequently, but fishing boats, large or small, appear in the field of vision from time to time.
After lunch, everyone including Luo Funi and Seyulari, who needed to adjust their mental state, relaxed at the bow.
The sky had turned gloomy just now, without the strong direct sunlight, the temperature dropped by at least three degrees.
"Will there be a storm? I checked the weather last night, and there is no typhoon?"
Seyulari looked up at the sky with a worried look on her face.
Alima said: "It's okay, it's just the rain caused by the normal sea surface pressure change, the wind and waves will not be too big!"
Zheng Yang also said: "Don't worry, even if there is a storm, our ship will be as stable as a mountain. Back then, such a small ship sailed through the Ross Sea, so why worry about such a big ship now!"
On the face of it, there is little weight on board today.
Those logs were all balsa wood, more than 700 logs were used in total, and the total weight of the wood after dehydration and concentration was actually less than 22 tons. Thirteen tons of steel are used front and rear, mainly concentrated on the bottom and keel of the ship.
Counting the other items and water on board, the current displacement of such a large ship is actually just over 50 tons.
So the draft is less than one meter.
Theoretically, the shallower the draft, the worse the ability to resist storms.
But it’s not easy to get water. Zheng Yang moved his mind and transferred the water from the bottom of the ship to the sealed dark cabin at the bottom. In a few minutes, he can obtain a displacement of hundreds of tons, and firmly suppress the center of gravity on the bottom of the ship, which is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai.
What's more, this is a spirit ship, the power of the magic circle can weaken part of the influence of wind and waves on the hull. Don't forget that the method of psychic power is actually that the power of the magic circle affects the sea water at the bottom of the ship, forming an independent ocean current to support the movement of the ship.
As long as it is not a big tsunami, ordinary waves that touch the hull will be affected by the magic circle and become trackers! In this case, the hull fluctuates at most with the fluctuations of the large-scale sea water, but it is very difficult for the ship to capsize.
The third-level spirit ship has begun to show more extraordinary...
Seeing that Alima and Zheng Yang are so calm, Seyulari is also relieved.
"Hey, look over there!"
Laura pointed to the sea a hundred meters away to the right and exclaimed.
Tennok looked over immediately: "What? Oh, why do all the fish jump to the surface of the sea?"
"It's fish schools, the phenomenon caused by tuna preying on sardines! Go get the fishing tackle, let's catch tuna!"
Zheng Yang yelled, and the others jumped around and ran back quickly to get their fishing tackle.
This is a sea journey, so they all brought fishing tackle, and those who didn't have fishing tackle bought it temporarily. From last night to today, they have heard Eva tell several times about her experience of catching two giant tunas last time, and they have already felt itchy.
Now when you meet a school of tuna, how can you miss it!
Even Alima and Luo Funi subconsciously ran back to the cabin to look for fishing rods.
"Zheng Yang, where is our fishing rod?"
After Eva rushed into the cabin, she ran out again and asked that her and Ailima's fishing tackle had been left on the boat after the last sea fishing, and Zheng Yang didn't know where it was kept.
"Under the bar!"
With a thought, Zheng Yang sent them and his fishing tackle from the dark cabin on the ground floor to under the bar in the hall. At the same time, Zheng Yang himself ran in, ready to return to the cockpit to control the spirit ship to adjust its direction and track the fish.
Who cares, the big deal is to sail overnight tonight, and now fishing is more important than anything else, such an opportunity is rare.
Their route happened to be the mouth of the Bay of Biscay, with the Atlantic Ocean on the right. This school of fish may have just moved in from the Atlantic Ocean, and has not been spotted by other fishing boats, so there will be no competition.
Eva ran back to the hall behind Zheng Yang, and the voice came up: "Really, why didn't I see it this morning?"
"I just put it in before eating!"
"Oh, how did you know there was fish in advance?"
"I don't know, I'm just planning to use it sooner or later."
…
They shouted and said something, and Eva and Alice ran out with four sets of hard poles, and Alima followed them.
Zheng Yang also saw the spectacular scene of sardines gathering and dispersing to avoid predation from the spirit boat perception, and they were moving in the direction of the spirit boat.
More than 80 meters underwater is the best hunting ground for tuna to prey on sardines. With a huge figure, they rushed from below to the densely packed sardines above, and then the sardines scattered away.
At this time, you don’t need to swim faster than tuna, you just need to swim faster than other sardines.
After escaping, the scattered sardines regrouped into a huge torrent, maneuvering like a whirlpool, to meet the next attack of tuna. This goes on and on until the tunas are full and give up chasing them.
Zheng Yang ran back to the cockpit in three steps at a time and wondered whether to modify a shortcut so that he could directly board the cockpit from the hall or the bow in the future. Otherwise, when outsiders were around, he would have to run up so obediently, which would be too troublesome.
"Hold on, I'm going to slow down!"
Zheng Yang pushed open the window and yelled.
The school of fish was moving this way, so the boat didn't have to turn, so Zheng Yang furled the sails urgently. He pressed several electric control buttons in succession, and the pulleys rotated rapidly one by one, and the sails were quickly lowered.
Then the spiritual power was driven in the opposite direction, and the spirit ship slowed down rapidly.
The huge inertia after braking caused the others to stagger, and a certain Condor Hero almost fell, but was caught by Laura's sharp eyesight.
The school of fish came back and forth, and the speed of moving in one direction would not be too fast. Only then did they approach the spirit boat.
At least ten giant tunas entered the perception range of the spirit boat. Zheng Yang even found a blue fin in his perception. It seemed to be at least two hundred catties in size, so greedy that he wanted to jump into the sea to catch it.
The people below were frantically pulling out the fishing rods and reloading them. Zheng Yang dodged back to the hall and ran back to the bow to pick up his own fishing rods.
At this time, it was almost like fighting, exciting and exciting.
"Wait, where's the bait? Where's the bait?"
Seyulari skillfully loaded the fishing rod and shouted.
Zheng Yang paused, put down the fishing tackle and took out the net, cast it into the sea, and when he pulled the rope back up, he got hundreds of sardines.
This is the best live bait.
"Forget it, you put the line, I will help you!"
Zheng Yang simply put his fishing rod aside and helped them install the bait first. Any more delay and the school of fish will pass.
Zheng Yang used psychic power to drive and control the spirit boat to follow the school of fish, moving at a speed close to 5 meters per second, and it would not be thrown away in a short time. While helping everyone to pack the bait, he went back to the cabin and brought a bucket filled with more than a dozen sardines and left them on the deck, and poured all the other sardines into the fish cabin.
Tennok and Lola ran to the stern to set out the line, and the rest of them were at the bow, standing around the fence, expecting the big fish to bite their hooks.
