Chapter 409: Fishing for a Bomb
This harvest is not small, the fish caught, after screening, some precious edible fish, directly refrigerated or raised, to maintain freshness.
Some of the cheaper ones are transported to special workshops for processing, where the head and tail offal are removed and then refrigerated or made into primary processing products such as fishmeal.
Like the big-headed marine fish, the fish head is very large, and it has no use value, so it is directly thrown back into the sea as food for other biological chains, which can also be regarded as waste utilization.
Some fish can be reduced in size by half after processing, saving a lot of space and load. Otherwise, all the cheap and expensive fish will be shipped back and then processed, and some cheap fish will really lose money.
This time, tens of thousands of catties of fish were caught, and even though they were processed by machinery, they were also busy. However, there are enough people on board.
At the same time, the fishing work on the other side has not stopped, the fish in this area are relatively abundant, there is no reason to let go, of course, you have to take the opportunity to catch a handful.
Everyone was happy when the fish was caught, but after a long time, the faces of the people who were responsible for classifying the fish were not very good-looking.
No wonder the third brother has a high salary and a lot of bonuses, all of which they have to pay! When they think that the next days will be long, their faces wrinkle into bitter melons.
Fortunately, there are other crew members in rotation, no need to do this all day long, the most important thing is that the boss is good, not very restrictive them, usually have time to dive into the sea, make some extra money, and the treatment of other seafarers is very different.
"Huh, it seems to be a big guy?" Xiao Wu looked at the black corner that appeared in the fish mountain, and hurriedly crawled away from the surrounding fish, ready to pull out the big guy.
Among these fish, there are often some precious big ones sandwiched to give people an unexpected surprise, which is also one of their pleasures.
The boss commanded. These precious fish are to be taken out and disposed of first, and sometimes with good luck, one can top a net of fish, how can you be negligent?
"Damn! what is this?" Xiao Wu exclaimed, and suddenly woke up from his drowsy state.
How did this lump of iron look like a bomb? He had heard that many fishermen would often catch some depth charges or something, and some would even sell them as scrap metal for money, which made people break out in a cold sweat.
"Xiao Wu, why are you not working hard, what are you yelling for?" Wei Hai on the other side said weakly. Don't think that he doesn't have to do it with his boss, sometimes he still sets an example and takes the lead!
"Come and see, is this a bomb?" said Xiao Wu as he beckoned the other people who were working with him to come over.
He didn't dare to lean in, if this thing was really a bomb, and he wouldn't give his life here?
"Wouldn't it, Xiao Wu, you can really pull it, where did this bomb come from?" Wei Hai said in disbelief.
Driven by curiosity, however, he walked over and saw an iron lump peeking out of the fish. It was more than two meters long, rusty on the surface, and looked like a large gas cylinder.
"It's really like it, don't go over it!" the others came over to take a look. Suddenly stopped, how can you fish out such a guy? It's really difficult!
"You shouldn't be afraid, after soaking in the sea for so long, even if you do, it may break. An experienced crew member said. He had encountered this kind of thing when he went to sea before, and the people on the boat just threw it back into the sea.
I don't know how many times the world has fought the sea war, and there is not a small amount of such things in the sea. Plus some wrecked submarines, warships or something, not to mention bombs, nuclear bombs are available, it depends on your luck.
Wei Hai was also a little stunned, this thing is not very safe at first glance, so let someone else deal with it.
"Brother Hang, there is a big discovery, come here. He turned around and shouted at Wei Hang.
Wei Hai's big voice, almost the entire deck heard it, Wei Hang shook his head helplessly, and walked over with Muzi, this kid really doesn't let people be quiet!
"How did you catch such a thing? It's a torpedo!" Walking over to see that it was actually such a big guy, Chen Jianliang said angrily.
It would be great if I could get some agarwood, dragon incense or something! With such a block, I don't know how much it is.
Wei Hang walked over, pulled the iron lump out of the fish pile, put it on the ground, and observed, but it was too rotten, and there were no marks on the surface, only a few incomplete letter numbers.
"Brother Hang, what should I do if that thing explodes, don't go over!" Wei Hai was taken aback when he saw Wei Hang actually running over and dragging that thing out to see it, and subconsciously stayed away from him.
Chen Jianliang, who was standing next to him, pursed his lips and said: "What are you afraid of? After this torpedo is launched from a ship or plane, it can control the direction and depth of its own sailing, and when it encounters a ship or submarine, it can explode as soon as it comes into contact." After stumbling in the sea for so long, it would have exploded long ago. ”
"So it doesn't explode? Hearing this, Weihai's group of people immediately relaxed a lot, leaned in curiously, and touched some boldly with their hands.
Putting aside its danger, this is a rare thing! In normal times, it is not so easy to see, but now that there is a chance, of course, you must see what it looks like, and feast your eyes.
Come to think of it, it must have been soaked in the sea for a long time, maybe it will all be broken, and if it explodes now, they will be too unlucky.
"Not necessarily, its surface is corroded, but the body is not damaged, and there is still a possibility of explosion. Wei Hang said to the person who came up.
"Boss, don't you bring such a scary, right?" The crew members were so shocked that their hearts suddenly couldn't stand it.
"Don't worry! Wei Hang said, then flipped the torpedo over to see what information could be found on it.
"It's a Yankee torpedo. "Wei Hang found that there was a national flag printed on it, although it was mostly corroded, it was still recognizable. There are so many stars in the flag, it can only be Yankee's.
"Find a place to put it up, fix it, and hand it over to the border and coast guard when you go back. Wei Hang ignored their complaints, and commanded.
"Uh, Brother Hang, do you want to put this thing on the boat? Why don't you throw it back into the sea and leave it to those Japanese devils, anyway, most of the ships that pass by here are their ships, and it is their ships that suffer. Some of the crew members who came in from Tangjia Village said.
They knew that these torpedoes were used to attack warships and submarines, and that they were not enough to see this fishing boat.
Everyone is sweating profusely, and the indignation of these people is getting heavier and heavier! This is also going to trick others. Still, it seems like a good idea, better than putting it on a boat.
"That's right, it's dangerous to stay on board!" chimed in.
If you catch it in your own country's waters, you can also take it back to the relevant departments to destroy it as humanely, don't let this time bomb cause damage, forget it here?
"Why did you throw it away? Take it back and hand it over to the Navy, maybe it will still be worth researching! Have you forgotten the slogan that the Yankees put up?" 'Sonar has no copper, and it is useless to fish it out.'" Yu Zhenlin said with a smile.
Many other people who had heard of this allusion immediately laughed maliciously, there are not many things that can make the Yankees deflated.
It is said that in the disputed area of the South China Sea, the Yankees' electronic reconnaissance ship lowered its towed sonar, and the fishermen fished it up from behind, cut the connection line, and took it home to sell for money.
Moreover, this thing has become a common practice, and many fishermen don't even catch fish, just waiting to catch Yankee's detection equipment and sell it for money.
No matter what you have, as long as you go into the water, you will go up to fish, so angry that the Yankees scolded, and in desperation, they could only write the slogan "Sonar has no copper, and it is useless to fish it out" on the Chinese ship. ”
Their intention to use sonar to detect the hydrographic numbers of the South China Sea and to build an anti-submarine network was thus dismantled.
It is said that those detection instruments were actually purchased by the state behind the scenes, and if there were no subsidies, how could those fishermen "get rich"? Anyway, the state is now rich and rich, and that little money is nothing.
Why not find something to study and study, and also strike at the Yankees in a roundabout way? It can be seen that the contest between countries in the open and in the dark is everywhere. Of course, the official will not admit it.
However, Chinese fishing vessels have the right to conduct fishing operations in China's economic waters, and US Navy survey vessels should not interfere with Chinese fishermen's salvage operations.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Hai asked inexplicably as he saw them laughing inexplicably.
In the past, they were a small fishing village, and at most they went out to Fisherman's Bay, which had nothing to do with them, of course they didn't know.
"You don't even know that? You're still a fisherman. Muzi teased, and then explained to him with a smile.
"The salvage sonar is real, the slogan is fake, the picture is PS by people on the Internet, it's just a joke about it. Chen Jianliang said.
"I thought it was true!" Xiao Wu suddenly said regretfully.
"What the hell, you know a. Tian Zhongchi glared and scolded.
Xiao Wu suddenly had nothing to say, and hid to the side, can't I hide if I can't provoke him?
"There will be no danger, don't worry! Many fishermen have caught similar bombs, but they have never heard of them exploding. Wei Hang said.
"Shall we use a salvage ship to probe it? Maybe there is a sunken warship down there, and it would be valuable to catch some of them!" Wei Hai said whimsically.
He knew that Chen Jianliang's ship was equipped with advanced sonar systems, image sensing instruments and other advanced equipment, and in terms of detection, it was much easier to use than a fishing boat, and he could even see the outline of the sunken ship.
"You're thinking too much, aren't you?," Chen Jianliang said angrily, and stopped him. (To be continued......)
