Back in the ocean again, Wei Hang went north against the Kuroshio.
The Kuroshio Current, which is part of the Pacific Current, is the second largest current in the world, after the Gulf Stream. Starting in the Philippines, it flows northeast along Japan through the waters east of Taiwan Island, and joins the eastward North Pacific Current after meeting the tidal current.
This is a strong ocean current, like a huge river, which flows thousands of times more than our Yangtze River in China. If human beings can make reasonable use of the energy generated by this ocean current, it is comparable to many Sanxia hydropower stations. A country as big as China is not worried about running out of electricity.
Human beings always say that there is an energy crisis, and energy is running out. But in fact, there is no way for them to use their knowledge for their own purposes.
Not to mention the power of thunder and lightning in nature, the science that needs it cannot be satisfied for the time being. However, solar energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, etc., the human development process is far less than 1/100 million.
The Kuroshio Current's rapid flow is like a highway, providing a quick and easy path for refluxing fish to travel north, so that a considerable number of migratory fish can be caught in the Kuroshio Current, as well as other large fish attracted to feed by these fish.
Weihang, who was advancing, found several waves of fish, which were quite huge, and the number was calculated by millions or tens of millions. Compared with our Chinese Spring Festival, it is not inferior at all.
For this reason, Weihang also caught a lot of people to Haizhu. This batch of seafood is enough for the Japanese market to digest for a month or two.
Among them, he found the most salmon. This migratory marine fish is even more terrifying than ants moving, and the largest ones are almost a meter long, in the night of the ocean. Hurry.
And those sharks and the like, are guarding here, eating a full meal and leaving.
However, the part they ate didn't count a drop of water at all, and the huge amount filled the gap in an instant. There was no impact at all. That's the beauty of the ocean, the sheer number of creatures that you can't believe.
This kind of fish is more than ten or twenty yuan a pound wholesale. This fish is rarely farmed in captivity, almost all of them are wild, after all, they are also produced in large quantities. Very few people put the effort into farming.
Of course, it is not absolute, if there is a profit, there will naturally be people chasing it, which is human nature.
Some people may not be able to confuse salmon with salmon, and some people may even think that salmon is salmon.
Actually, salmon belongs to salmon, and salmon is made from salmon. It stands to reason that salmon is also a type of salmon.
There is nothing wrong with that. Therefore, many merchants have deceived customers.
You know, authentic salmon. That's hundreds of dollars a pound. You big salmon, just thirty or forty yuan a pound on the table, it is indeed a bit of a bully.
When we talk about salmon in China, we actually refer to Atlantic salmon imported from Northern Europe. Instead of salmon on this side of the Pacific, the gap is huge.
Our domestic salmon, because it carries parasites. Therefore, it cannot be eaten raw as sashimi, and is generally made into salted fish, smoked fish, or dried fish.
However, it cannot be dismissed as worthless.
Fish roe is more precious than fish meat, its diameter is about 7 mm, its color is bright red and transparent, like amber, and it is extremely nutritious, 7 salmon roe is equivalent to an egg. The caviar made from it is like a red pearl on a plate, sparkling and can arouse people's appetite, so it is very valuable. Therefore, it is very popular with the public in Europe and the United States.
Wei Hang looked at this group of fish with some respect.
Many people may not know that this fish has to spawn back in rivers because the eggs cannot hatch in the ocean to survive.
It is precisely in this way that every year when the spawning season is about to be laid, they all "return to their hometowns" in groups. And along the way, once they enter the river, they no longer eat, and they return to their hometown in one breath with the energy in their bodies, lay eggs, and usually die after their bodies and energy are exhausted.
How salmon accurately returned to their birthplace across the vast ocean remains a mystery. New research has shown that salmon have iron particles in their brains that act like a compass and help them find exactly where they are going on Earth.
This is a very heroic fish, and every year in autumn, it crosses the Sea of Okhotsk in groups, bypassing Sakhalin Island and going up the Heilongjiang River.
Day and night, tirelessly, long journeys, continuous progress, thirty or forty kilometers every day and night, whether it encounters shallow canyons or rapids waterfalls, it never retreats, rushes through many obstacles and obstacles, until it swims to its destination and finds a suitable spawning ground.
Finally, it's amazing that this fish has a very strong jumping ability.
Salmon swim upriver in rivers and often encounter many high drops, such as waterfall salmon jumping into small waterfalls, at this time, salmon will jump over, which is the ability of salmon to evolve after 6 million years. They can jump up to two or three meters, sometimes equivalent to a person jumping over four floors.
Wei Hang caught a batch, and then continued on his way. Not far away, an ancient shipwreck was discovered again.
This ancient shipwreck is off the coast of Tokyo, Japan, not very far away, and it is still within their territorial waters. It was a merchant ship with a high bow and a towering pole of the sail. It can be seen that it is an ancient ocean-going merchant ship.
After looking at the whole ship, I found that there were a lot of porcelain items on the wreck, which were stacked in the cargo hold. Because it was all fixed, the ship had an accident, but the fragile porcelain was preserved.
There are also a lot of gold, silver, jade and the like, depending on the style, they are all made in China.
In addition, there are also some silks, teas, etc., which have been eroded by the sea, leaving some traces for Wei Hang to recognize.
Wei Hang can be sure that this merchant ship must have come out of China in ancient times. At that time, Japan was also a dumping ground for Chinese goods, and it also imported many goods from China every year, such as porcelain.
Moreover, such a large ancient ship does not look like it can be made in Japan.
Without saying a word, Wei Hang immediately moved the entire wreck out of the palace and got it to the surface of the highlands, just in the direction of his fleet, waiting to be salvaged.
This salvage must be kept secret. It's so close that it's hard to say anything about Japan. If you want to publicize it, you have to wait until you go back to make it public.
When I returned to the boat, I ran into Muzi who had gotten up to urinate at night.
"Brother Hang, it seems that I have been able to find you many times when I get up, I don't sleep well?" Muzi couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that I slept badly, it's just that I sleep less than you, and I wake up easily, so I come out to breathe. Wei Hang said quietly. (To be continued......)
