Chapter 42 The Paracel Islands
All the way to the south, the sea and the sky!
The Pearl drew a white wave on the sea, driving along the set route, Yang Yi sat on the chair in the cockpit, and the water monkeys, mountain dogs and others who were more excited when they first went to sea did not have that excitement, but sat on the deck outside the door with Li Chengjun, watching a TV series on the same tablet, which was still downloaded to relieve boredom when Li Chengjun had nothing to do, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
As soon as the fishing boat entered Nanshan Bay, he found that the mobile phone had no network, and the fishing boat did not have a network, and the angry Li Chengjun almost dropped the mobile phone, you must know that he is now a small coffee person on the Internet, and he has to interact with netizens every day, mainly because of the group of girls and games he chats about, and he is one step away from being the king.
Yang Yi didn't pay attention to Li Chengjun who was crying and grabbing the ground, and he didn't know how to be a lake monarch at the beginning, could it be that the era of immortals was also popular to go through the back door? Anyway, how do you look like an Internet addicted teenager now, so Yang Yi ignored the opposition this time, and he must come on the boat and follow, without the Internet to watch you play a bullshit game, talk about a bullshit girl, just work hard to make money.
More than an hour later, a large island appeared in front of him, and Sun Liancheng skillfully cut through the side of the island and drove along the periphery of the island. Li Chengjun suddenly became excited, he found that there was a signal, and quickly turned on the mobile phone, and then the two fingers tapped quickly on the screen, and the fast ones were connected into phantoms.
Yang Yi stood in the cockpit, looking at the display on the chart, this island also belongs to Nanshan City, Nanshan City is also the largest island in Nanjiang Province, the name is Zhuchi Island, it is adjacent to Nanshan in the north, Leizhou in the east, Qiongzhou Province across the sea in the south, and Nanyue in the southwest, the geographical location is extremely important.
Zhuchi Island covers an area of about 24.74 square kilometers, about 21 nautical miles away from Nanshan City, is a famous tourist attraction in the south of southern Xinjiang, the island belongs to the typical volcanic eruption heap condensation of the island, there are sea erosion, sea accumulation and lava and other landscapes, there is "Penglai Island in the South China Sea" said, it is the youngest volcanic island in the Chinese geological age.
The name of the island comes from Tang Liu's book "Lingbiaolu Strange Pond Pearl", which records that "there is a continent island in the sea by Lianzhou, and there is a big pond on the island, which is called the pearl pool." Every year, the history of the stabbing is repaired, and the self-supervising pearl households enter the pond to collect tribute".
The indigenous customs of Zhuchi Island are very different from the mainland, the original island lives are pearl diving Tan people, there is a large pearl pond on the island, the pearl pond is rich in black pearls of the South China Sea, these pearls are mainly used in the Central Plains of the palace, and the Tan people are required to live in the way of exchanging their lives for pearls under the oppression of officials.
Later, it continued to integrate with the Han people, forming a unique customs and culture of Zhuchi Island, and now the people of Zhuchi Island no longer have to use their lives to go pearl diving, but have started to travel, and their lives are also very happy, and the entire happiness index is ranked in the forefront of the country.
Yang Yi didn't care about the group of people who kept pressing their mobile phones, but used the dragon balls to shroud his consciousness at the bottom of the sea while studying the charts, looking at the surrounding properties. Now the unit he can see has expanded no less than ten times, and the area that can only see five radii and fifty meters is now more than five hundred meters, so he can completely see the bottom of the sea, because of human activities around Zhuchi Island, the fish are not too rich, but they are much better than the offshore water, especially the coral reef group in the east and south of the island is the only coral reef group along the coast of southern Xinjiang, and it is an approved coral reef national marine park, which is still very rich in marine life.
After turning Zhuchi Island is the endless South China Sea, the fishing boat is heading southeast, and at noon Yang Yi cast a net at the location of the fish, catching thousands of catties of fish, mainly black sea bream and white girl. Among them, there are also some yellowfin seabream and chicken coop pomfret mixed with a few eastern star groupers with red and black spots all over their bodies, all of which are relatively economically valuable fish.
The wholesale price of a pound of black sea bream in the market is also thirty or forty yuan, and the white girl is slightly cheaper, but the wild eastern star grouper can be sold for at least more than 100 or 211 catties, and the value of the fish caught by thousands of catties is forty or fifty thousand, even if there is nothing else, it is worth back the oil money.
At noon, Wu Yonghui used his cooking skills to make a seafood feast, mainly fish, and he didn't have such a desire for vegetables when he first came out, so everyone ate with relish and praised again and again, and after eating, he took the initiative to play poker.
The fishing boat headed in the direction of the Xisha Islands, which was a predetermined route, from the Xisha Islands to the Zhongsha Islands, and then when approaching the Dongsha Islands, it went back to the east coast of Qiongzhou, and then crossed the Qiongzhou Strait to return to Pearl Bay, and the maiden voyage was completed.
This time, Yang Yi didn't plan to catch many fish, as long as he didn't lose money, it was also for everyone to be familiar with the operation of the fishing boat and see the feeling of the fishing boat going out to sea.
When it was close to night, the fishing boat arrived near the Xisha Islands, because it was late, Yang Yi did not plan to let the fishing boat dock, so he drifted on the sea and drove slowly, with Sun Liancheng, a veteran of the boat, there was no problem.
Xisha Islands is one of the four major islands of the South China Sea Islands, composed of Yongle Islands and Xuande Islands, and is the largest archipelago in the South China Sea.
The archipelago is distributed in a sea area of more than 500,000 square kilometers, with a total of 22 islands, 7 sandbanks, 8 atolls, 1 platform reef and 1 reef beach, with a total land area of about 10 square kilometers and a coastline of 518 kilometers.
Among them, Woody Island is the largest, with 3.2 square kilometers, and is the seat of the Sansha Municipal Government in Qiongzhou Province. In addition, Shidao is the highest, with an altitude of 15.9 meters, and the high pointed stone of the East Island Atoll is the only volcanic breccia island in the South China Sea.
Because it is located in the center of the mainland of China, Dongsha Islands and Qiongzhou Island, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands, it is the key point of the South China Sea shipping route for exchanges between China and the Nanyang Islands, the Indochina Peninsula and the coastal countries of the Indian Ocean, and it faces the waist of South Vietnam. Therefore, the geographical location of the Paracel Islands is very important.
In 1950, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered Woody Island in the Paracel Islands, and in 1974, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) launched a self-defense counterattack against the Saigon authorities of South Vietnam who invaded the waters of the Paracel Islands, and fully recovered the Paracel Islands. In 1988, after the establishment of Qiongzhou Province, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou, and in 2012, Sansha City was specially established to fully manage the islands in the South China Sea such as Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands and Nansha Islands.
In addition to its geographical location, the Paracel Islands are also extremely rich in natural resources, and the Paracel Reef is one of the four most productive regional types in the world. There are 432 species of coral reef fish and oceanic fish, accounting for 81.3% of the marine fish species in the area, and it is an important fishing ground for tuna, mackerel, redfish, bonito, flying fish, shark and grouper.
Crabs include fan crabs, spider crabs, pike crabs, magnetic crabs, frog crabs, king crabs, diamond crabs, etc. There are about 200 kinds of shrimp resources, and the main species are splendid lobster, dense hair lobster, Chinese lobster, black shrimp, island prawn, close new prawn, large imitation prawn, eagle claw prawn, krill, sugar prawn, etc.
The sky was already completely dark, Yang Yi and they sat on the deck, the sky was a bright starry sky, and the sea in the distance, people felt extremely small in this environment.
The current location is not far from the waters of the Yongle Islands in the Xisha Islands, Yang Yi saw through the Dragon Ball that there was a school of silver pomfret nearby, swimming around in this water, planning to catch a net but didn't know what to say, he couldn't tell Sun Liancheng that there were fish under them, and he would be able to catch them under the net, right?
Sun Liancheng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and mentioned that there might be fish nearby, just to test the way of light trapping to catch a net, this proposal hit Yang Yi's heart, and called Li Chengjun and a few people to work.
Light trapping is a very common operation of night fishing at sea, mainly with the help of fish phototaxis, using fish collection lights to light fish and fishing. Yang Yi instructed Sun Liancheng to turn the fishing boat around, turn on the fish collection lamp, spread the net, and go against the direction of the fish. Yang Yi dropped a few drops of spiritual water through the dragon ball, and then saw that the fish were attracted by the spiritual water, and began to gather and swim in the direction of the fishing boat.
The trawl is not deep, it is more than 20 meters deep, most of the fish are concentrated in the upper layer of the sea, and after most of this group of silver pomfret enters the net, everyone feels that the fishing boat is slammed down, Sun Liancheng They suddenly showed joy, people who are often on the beach know what it means, they must have encountered a big school of fish.
