Chapter 243, Bass Strait

The Bass Strait, located between Huaguo Bay Province and the Batanes Islands in the northern Philippines, is 185 kilometers or 100 nautical miles wide on average, and 96 kilometers or 52 nautical miles between Xiaolan Island and Yami Island at its narrowest point.

The first section of the nine-dash line in the South China Sea is drawn here, which is dozens of nautical miles wide and is the strait dividing China and the Philippines.

This is a busy international waterway, an important waterway in the so-called first island chain, and the Chinese navy and air force generally enter the western Pacific Ocean through the Bass Strait and the Miyako Strait, and occasionally through the Tugara Strait or the Osumi Strait.

Appendix:

Misnamed Bass Strait: The origin is that people who do not know the geography of the Chinese Internet sometimes refer to several waterways (Bay Province-Luzon Waterway) about 370 kilometers wide between Huaguo Bay Province and Luzon Island in the Philippines as the Bass Strait.

It includes the Bass Strait and the Philippine North Strait (the Philippines Strait has several waterways, which are separated by the Philippine Bashigo Islands, Batan Islands and Babuyan Islands into the Bashigo Strait, Balintang Strait and Babuyan Strait, etc.).

The earth dragon eel lives near a small island in the Bass Strait near the Bay Province, although Lin Qing doesn't know how to get there, but he has Xiaohui, he is a professional driver, so it is naturally easy to find.

The eel, as the name suggests, is a type of eel, and the longest is found to be 1.5 meters in size and weighs about 40 kilograms.

Lin Qing didn't want to catch such a big earth dragon eel, his goal was only more than 5 kilograms.

After all, the earth dragon eel is too big, Lin Qing estimates that it will be difficult for him to handle it alone, and when the time comes, it is indispensable to ask the robots to help, in that case, the reward will definitely drop, which is equivalent to spending a lot of effort.

As a sea communication artery, there are many ships passing by, and in about 20 minutes, Lin Qing has seen no less than 20 ships passing by.

In addition to warships, there are basically all kinds of boats, and there are also some fishing friends who like to fish, and they rent boats here to fish for dragon eels.

Lin Qing was slightly worried in his heart, with so many people fishing, would the earth dragon eel be so frightened that he would hide?

In fact, his worries were unfounded.

Soil dragon eels live here, although there are not many of them, but there are also many of them.

Although its reproductive ability is ordinary, it is better than the sharp teeth, and many people who catch the dragon eel are bitten off the fishing line by the dragon eel in the reel, so as to break free.

There are very few people who can actually catch a boat.

Therefore, Lin Qing did not come here directly to fish for the earth dragon eel yesterday, but asked Lao Yang to spend a lot of money to buy the best fishing line that the earth dragon eel bites constantly.

This kind of line is expensive to build, and many anglers simply can't afford it.

This kind of fishing line is a kind of high-strength fishing line synthesized with modern technology, and the price of each meter is more than 3,000 yuan.

In addition, the lifespan of this kind of line is only one year, and after one year, this kind of fishing line will become very fragile, so many people feel that it is not worth it, and even if they can afford it, few people buy it.

But even so, there are still many anglers who are tired of fishing for dragon eels, the reason is very simple, as long as you are lucky, the fishing line is not bitten, and you can make a lot of money if you catch a dragon eel.

About 5 catties of dragon eels are sold for more than 130,000 Chinese dollars on the market, which is still the price only available when a large number of dragon eels appear.

If it's scarce, the price will be even higher.

......

Lin Qing was lying on the recliner, holding his mobile phone in his hand, his fingers kept moving.

On the mobile phone interface, what is displayed is a turn-based game.

Fantasy Journey to the West mobile version.

Lin Qing is still familiar with this game, he once played the terminal game of Fantasy Journey to the West, Lin Qing has always felt that it is a classic, and he has also made a little money on the terminal game of Fantasy Journey to the West.

But in today's fantasy mobile games, Lin Qing feels very cheated when he plays.

NetEase is worthy of NetEase, basically you can't be a father when you charge money.

started playing this game today, but he has already recharged a few hundred yuan, but there is still no improvement, and he should still hit the street.

In the current terminal game market, Glory Canyon and the exciting battlefield Lin Qing feel that it is not interesting to play.

Because he had obtained the mastery of competitive games before, Lin Qing would get tired of playing two games, and he felt like he was abusing a child, and his opponents were often taken care of by him before they saw him.

Victory simply wasn't too easy.

"Sir. At this moment, the nanny robot reminded Lin Qing.

Lin Qing hurriedly put down his mobile phone, got up and stepped forward to take over the fishing rod.

"Yo, it's a lot of strength. The moment Lin Qing took the fishing rod, the tail end of the fishing rod began to bend, obviously the fish had bitten the hook and was about to run.

Raise the rod, retract and release it, and start to consume the fish's stamina.

About ten minutes later, a huge earth dragon eel of less than one meter was caught on the deck by Lin Qing, and at the same time, a systematic mechanical sound appeared in his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for catching a 28-pound rare fish earth dragon eel, rewarding an intermediate prestige fishing, and the remaining number of current fishing reward draws is 3/10.] 】

"Tsk, it seems to be a loss. Lin Qing smashed his mouth twice, a little tasteless.

Intermediate prestige fishing is not a particularly good thing, although this thing does not consume Lin Qing's prestige, but in fact, it can't get anything too good.

In essence, it is actually similar to the lottery, except that the random range may be larger, that is, there are more unknown things.

Asked Lao Yang to clean up the earth dragon eel, Lin Qing simply took the bait again and continued fishing.

Because it was only eleven o'clock at noon, it was Lin Qing who could catch an earth dragon eel so quickly.

Since it was still early, Lin Qing didn't plan to go back so early, and if he continued to fish, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.

But it's a pity that from the time Lin Qing finished lunch to four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qing didn't gain anything.

"Could it be that luck has run out?" Lin Qing was a little speechless.

I thought that if I caught an earth dragon eel so early, I should be able to catch at least one more in the next time, but I didn't expect to have even one.

"Sir, isn't it time for us to go back?" Seeing that the time was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Yang walked up to Lin Qing and asked.

"Let's go back. Lin Qing glanced at the four nanny robots that were motionless and said, "There will be no gain if you wait any longer." ”

"Okay, I'll go and tell it right away. Lao Yang nodded and turned to leave.

......

At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Qing returned to Wolong Island and happened to meet the four girls who came back together.

"Brother Qing, how is today's harvest?" Li Xingtong was most curious about Lin Qing's harvest.

But this is normal, after all, she is the most gluttonous, and if she doesn't ask, everyone will find it strange.

"One. Lin Qing said a little depressedly, "That earth dragon eel is really too difficult to catch, maybe the number is scarce." ”
