Chapter 9: A spit and a pit

Since the amazing fish exploration operation on the first day of sailing, Long Wu and Chen Li have admired Gu Kun's keenness.

Every time, Gu Kun was able to catch the subtle abnormal sounds in the fish finder that other humans couldn't hear at all.

And not only the direction is accurate, but also the size, depth, direction of movement, and speed of the fish.

It's almost like opening a perspective hanging, or "seeing and hearing domineering".

Several times, Long Wu sighed: "Captain, you shouldn't come to fish at all." It should go to those naval powers and cast the net from Rong. If you become an anti-submarine officer on a submarine, any Seawolf class of the Ocean Country, or Lucia's Borean God class, it is estimated that it will not be able to escape your ears. ”

Gu Kun smiled every time, noncommittal.

It's not that he's not patriotic, it's just that the world will still be dominated by peace in the coming decades. In the private sector, you can contribute much more to society, and you are free.

And if you really join the army, many abilities can't be explained, and they will definitely be studied, so a fool would take such a risk.

The two days passed quickly, and Gu Kun's fishing boat gradually moved north, stopping and fishing all the way, and had left Lanfang for 500 nautical miles, and the harvest was quite abundant.

Most of the time, as long as the fish do not swim fast, Gu Kun chooses to directly trawl the net in a single boat to save manpower.

Occasionally, there were precious fish species with a speed of about 20 knots, so he ordered Long Wu to go to the sea, manually pull the net, and cooperate with the fishing boat's towing to set up a pocket array.

Because he didn't encounter a very fast and flexible fish like yellowfin tuna, there was no need for Gu Kun to go to the sea himself.

Because every time he uses his natural hearing or extreme diving, he consumes a lot of physical energy and makes him have a great appetite. Gu Kun also didn't want to show an abnormally large amount of food, so he tried to cover it up as much as he could.

However, in the past few days, Gu Kun has gained a better understanding of his physique after some exploration. He found that he could quickly replenish his calories by drinking high liquor or eating chocolate.

This is much more efficient than eating meat, and it is not noticeable. It seems that you will always have a few boxes of chocolates with you in the future.

In this way, there are three or four opportunities to catch the net every day, and at the beginning only the valuable fish are caught, and the harvest is at least a few thousand reams per net, and it is nearly 20,000 reams a day.

On the third day, Gu Kun calculated the shelf life, and felt that from today onwards, even if he caught more bad fish, he could ensure that he survived to the shore, so he began to increase the frequency of fishing. In this way, at least several tons of harvest per day can be harvested, and even if the unit price becomes cheaper, the total income can be doubled.

Long Wu and Chen Li admired Gu Kun's ability, but also made jokes several times.

"Captain, the day before yesterday I pulled the net for the first time, and you still thought I was slow to dive. Then why don't you show us a hand?"

Gu Kun responded indifferently every time: "I haven't encountered tuna, and other slow fish are not worthy of letting me shoot." ”

Tuna can be found every day.

However, his chance to perform soon came.

On the morning of the fourth day of sailing, the ship had already left the waters of the Shaosha Islands and entered the waters of the Weisha Islands. It is about southeast of Da Nang and northeast of Cam Ranh Bay.

Early this morning, two hours after breakfast, when Gu Kun was routinely listening to fish, he noticed unusual movements.

He actually heard a few nautical miles to the west of the north, several super-fast big guys, and the direction was also likely to intercept.

Gu Kun immediately ordered the whole ship to prepare.

"Chen Li, you steer, keep the course at 295, and move forward at full speed. ”

"Long Wu is ready to operate the winch machine. ”

"Little sister, you bring me my wetsuit, and then you stare at the fish finder. ”

Everyone was accustomed to Gu Kun's orders and prohibitions, and they were very quick to take their places.

After Long Wu checked the net winch, he came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Captain, you personally pulled the net? Could it be that you have met a big guy? and there is tuna again?"

Gu Kun only left a sentence like the wind: "When have I seen my eyes?"

Almost after arriving at the place, Gu Kun looked at the direction and jumped into the water with the rope in tow.

Soaring, like a dragon.

Long Wu, Chen Li and the others only looked at it for a few seconds, and instantly noticed the gap.

"What? How can a human swim so fast? Is he a torpedo? Why don't you go to the Olympics if you have this ability?" Long lost his mind on May Day, and it seemed that one of his proudest skills turned into a ridiculous joke in an instant.

Chen Li rubbed her eyes: "Did a big black mouse pass by just now?" ”

Gu Pan's surprise was no lower than that of the other two, and she felt that her brother seemed a little strange.

……

As soon as Gu Kun entered the water, he felt that the spiritual platform was empty and bright, and his ears and eyes were sharp. After observing for a while, he noticed that a few hundred meters in front of him, there was a swordfish, chasing and hunting two tuna, and there were some other schools of fish nearby, and the tuna instinctively kept turning around and plunging into the small school of fish, trying to avoid the pursuit of the sailfish.

When it comes to swimming speed, tuna should be the second in nature, and the first is the sailfish.

Many people may not be familiar with the name sailfish, which is a large marine fish with a long, sharp upper snout, and its other commonly known as "swordfish".

Sailfish are widely found in tropical waters and are natural predators for fishermen. Because it can swim to a speed of more than 60 knots when sprinting, it is faster than any conventional torpedo (the use of supercavitation technology does not count, supercavitating torpedoes fly in underwater bubbles, and there is no seawater contact resistance)

With a weight of 500 kilograms, a sharp upper snout, and a speed of 60 knots, even a destroyer in World War II can pierce through, let alone a fishing boat.

A lot of small fishing boats are targeted by sailfish, which is a three-knife and six-hole end, and that bit of iron can't withstand it at all.

Gu Kun couldn't help but get solemn.

It's not just about catching fish and selling it for money, killing this swordfish is also for his own safety and that of his sister.

This is also considered "legitimate defense", right?

He touched the dog-legged scabbard tied to the diving suit, and for a while he had no choice but to move the knife.

He calmly approached, continuing to observe the situation.

The swordfish sprints faster than the tuna because of the long sword on the kiss, but it has a disadvantage, that is, the steering radius is relatively large and it is not flexible.

So for thousands of years, the tuna's escape instinct when encountering a sailfish is to keep going around in circles, just like a rabbit has to keep changing directions when running away from a hunting dog. Because if you swim in a straight line, the speed difference is nearly 20 knots, and you can't escape a few hundred yards before you are stabbed to death with a kiss.

But it was precisely because they kept going around in circles that they circled this chaotic big school of fish and cheapened Gu Kun.

After judging this, Gu Kun was relieved.

This means he doesn't have to compete with tuna or even sailfish.

He estimated the range of the big fish in a circle, and then quietly set up a pocket array in a long way, and then slowly closed the net.

After more than ten minutes of patient guidance, the trawl has already encircled most of the fish, and only the last few tens of meters are left.

Gu Kun floated up and gestured to the people on the fishing boat, asking them to rush over at full speed and close the encirclement.

Then Gu Kun also swam towards the opposite direction of the fishing boat at great speed, while holding a knife in his hand, paying attention to the movements of the sailfish.

As the schools of fish gathered closer and closer, a large number of fish finally rushed towards the mouth of the trawl net, but unfortunately it was too late.

Gu Kun tied the rope to a harpoon he carried with him and threw it back to the fishing boat.

Long Wu on the boat immediately untied the rope and tied it to the electric winch, and the entire fishing net had been closed.

"Oh no, there's a sailfish!" Gu Pan, who had been in charge of the fish finder and lookout, discovered a scene that frightened her.

It turned out to be a large swordfish of several hundred kilograms, and because it was guided so that it could not break free, it rushed straight and fast towards the fishing boat.

Looking forward to the voice at this time, it is estimated that it is as frightened as the warship lookout in World War II, shouting "port side, torpedo!"

Unfortunately, just when it rushed to the edge of the net, cut the wire rope of several nets, and was about to break through.

Outside the net, a nimble diver, wielding a vicious blade, stabbed the fish into the jaw from the flank, with great precision, and then twisted it horizontally.

Of course, the upper snout of the sailfish is hard and sharp, but that doesn't mean that all parts of the head are so iron.

The jaw was stabbed into the leg of the Gurkha dog, and the swordfish instantly lost its struggle, and a large stream of fish blood gushed out, making the entire mass of sea water within a radius of a few meters nearby red, and it gradually diluted and dispersed after a few seconds.

The three people on the boat were stunned, and after being stunned for a while, they continued to twist the whole net of fish in panic.

They are well aware of the technical content of the action just now - when people are in the water, it is difficult to exert force, because unlike on land, you can borrow force from the ground. The strength of Gu Kun's knife when he went to the bucket with all his strength depended on his legs and other hands to stroke in advance to increase his inertia, so it was impossible for a person who was extremely unwatery to do it.

Long Wu: "Mazu, this swordfish weighs a thousand pounds." The knife just now, I can't practice it without 20 years of kung fu. ”

Chen Li: "These two encircled tuna are estimated to be two or three hundred catties, which is really a big harvest." ”

Gu Pan: "This net has a total of 3,500 catties, and it is displayed when it is weighed." ”

A few seconds later, Gu Kun took a leap, grabbed the cable hanging from the side of the ship, and then climbed onto the side of the ship with two steps like a ninja, and a harrier rolled over and landed on the deck.

"Brother, you're too powerful. Gu Pan took a towel to wipe his brother's water, and his eyes were full of adoration.

Long Wu's knees actually weakened, and he knelt on the deck: "Captain, since that day, I have convinced you, but I only convinced you of your keen insight, but I still don't believe that your water nature can be so rebellious." Today I am completely convinced, captain, after I go back, can you hire us both for a long time? We don't want to follow Liu Min anymore. ”

Gu Kun smiled proudly: "Of course this is no problem, but I didn't say that I would give you a boost, why don't you look at Liu Min." ”

Long Wu shook his head: "It's not a matter of money, we're both still young, and I don't want to mess around for the rest of my life." The key is to follow you, learn skills, and see things that you can't see in Liu Min. ”

The sea is a world that worships the strong.

This is especially true for the oceans, where there are often no laws on the high seas, and the countries where ships are registered are often small and insistent countries.

"Then take it as you please. I still say the same thing, as long as you follow me, be loyal and willing to work hard for me, you will definitely have a good future. This time, I'll add 200 reams to each of you, and count it as the opening red envelope of the first month, so do it well. ”

While Gu Kun painted cakes and made wishes, he used the posture of "Piaorou, it's spicy and confident" to comb the hair on his forehead.

Of course, he didn't do it to be handsome, just to squeeze the sea water out of his hair.

Gu Pan was on the side, and according to his brother's instructions, he took out four hundred reams of money and gave two to each of Long Chen.

To control the subordinates is to give both grace and power.

You can't make money and muddy, you have to be famous. Because the payment of money in a mess of accounts is not helpful to Ma Zai's loyalty and enthusiasm for work-

The generals in ancient Rome who gave the Praetorian Guards to buy the emperor were the best negative teaching materials, and most of them were eventually eaten by the white-eyed wolves who were not well raised.
