Chapter 446: The Lost Island
Tang Hai was about to laugh at Jennifer, saying that her memories were used to remember useless things, and she actually remembered the name of an uncle.
But the words didn't come out, because Prad was ......
A dilapidated snowmobile drives on the ice.
Snowmobiles are not expensive, ranging from $2,000 to tens of thousands. It was this thing that replaced the sleigh of the past, and it was also one of the vehicles used by the Barrow people.
It's just that this thing is easy to break, and it must need to be repaired once after running thousands of kilometers, so it is used in a small area.
Prader's snowmobile seems to be some years old, and Tang Hai even suspects that this thing is older than Prader's son Mike, so it is estimated that the shell has not been changed, and the things inside have to be changed twice.
The father and son had a thick boat, and their hands were also thick gloves, and they drove on a snow road dozens of meters away, and when they arrived at the door of a house that looked very large and covered an area of about 300 square meters, the snowmobile stopped, and the father and son got down from the car with a hanging of meat and gently knocked on the door.
The girls were looking for a place to take pictures, just Tang Hai and Jennifer were looking over there, the other party was already very close to here at this time, but the door of the room was facing away from here, and the father and son seemed to have something in their hearts, and they didn't notice Tang Hai and the others.
A slightly chubby, woman-like man, but in fact a man, with a Nordic appearance, opened the door, and when he saw Prader, he looked at him, and his face was a little unpleasant.
"Prad, you've been holding this little bit of meat every time these days......"
"Mr. Henrik, you know that I was shipwrecked when I went to sea before, and my ship sank. There is no way to go out to sea to catch shrimp for the time being...... But don't worry! My skills are well known here, and I believe that a fleet will soon be able to take me in! ”
Henrik narrowed his gloom slightly. I don't know what kind of meat I took it, but it was too far away and it was bacon. Tang Hai couldn't tell for a while.
When receiving the meat, Henrik made a slight 'mention' motion, and Tang Hai noticed that Jennifer's eyebrows were frowning, and Jennifer also saw it.
"I heard that you were rescued by Dahlia's boat before?"
"Even Mr. Henrik knows about this?"
"Well, just now a crew member of the Simpsons came to me to get something, saying that Simpsons and Dahlia's Don bet on the catch of Arctic shrimp, and whoever loses must admit in public that they are inferior to the other party."
"Mr. Tang agreed! Simpson is the shaman of the North Slope generation, and his skills are ...... "Prad's face was already very bad, and now he heard that the savior was going to make a bet with Simpson. The face is even more unsightly.
Tang Hai asked in a low voice what the shaman was doing in Merlin Inuyupit, wizard or?
Merlin whispered back, "The Inuit believe in animism and shamanism, shamans are people who communicate with various gods, and the leader of the group is usually a shaman. In fact, the shaman was also the doctor of the Inuit tribe and the most skilled hunter. I didn't expect the Inuit of this era to elect shamans. ”
Henrik saw that Prad was worried, shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about the Dahlia's man, the catch they landed before was 40 tons." ”
"40 tons? 4 ships of 500 tons? Their cages are a little different from the normal ones, but ...... I guess I found a place like Seal Island. ”
"Daddy, Seal Island? Is that where you saved a narwhal earlier? ”
Tang Hai and the three of them still wanted to eavesdrop. But the Pradds were already in the house.
Tang Hai felt the unusual aura, slowly turned his head, and saw Ma Lena with a look of surprise: "Tang! Seal Island! Did you hear that! That neighborhood should be home to Arctic shrimp! ”
"When did you show up, the stealth level has increased...... I heard that. But I don't want to work so soon now, I'm here to look for the igloo......"
Tang Hai was finally pushed away by Malena.
When passing by the big house, Tang Hai looked at it carefully for a long time. But I didn't see what it was for, it smelled of disinfectant water. Black clinics?
"Hadley, are the crab pots ready?"
“OK。”
Dahlia's shrimp pots are no longer cages used to catch cold-water shrimp.
Now Tang Hai is rich. Dahlia's account is close to 40 million, no matter what research you want to do, there is enough money, plus Dahlia has Hadley, a master of mechanical dynamics and fisheries, as long as something is shown to Hadley once, he can make a big discovery.
The original cold-water shrimp cage was a cylindrical cage, and after a few uses, Hadley discovered that the biggest problem with this cage was that it was too large.
He applied for the purchase of a crab pot to catch hairy crabs, which was trapezoidal and had a funnel at the top and an open part at the bottom. This kind of crab pot is hung with bait and thrown into the sea, and the hairy crab cannot climb out after climbing in. And this kind of cage is also a cage.
Hadley only modified it slightly, narrowed the opening of the top funnel by half, and turned it into a cage for cold-water shrimp, and after opening the bottom lid, it was stacked one by one, and twenty were only one meter and five high, and the 180 cages occupied a distance of less than 10 square meters.
When Tang Hai and the others returned to the dock, they had already finished unloading, and the cages were repacked by the sailors. Here instead of baskets, a large blue mesh bag is used.
Bait is not as difficult to hang as it used to be, and Hadley invented a combination of a small hook and a buckle, which can be hooked on the fish and the cage at the same time, and a cage can be placed in basically five seconds, which greatly increases the speed.
Back on the fishing boat, everything is ready.
Tang Hai was yawning, Marlena had already controlled the boat, and let the tail drive the boat with a snort, while Hadley went to the stern to see the shrimp pots.
The Little Princess was originally a beautifully painted, purple and white, very beautiful sea vessel, but under Tang Hai's many shrimp and crab fishing operations, even if the employees were very careful, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of 'wounds'. Malena looked at it and sighed for a long time, but then changed her attitude and said to Tang Hai that this is a ship that has really withstood the wind and waves, not a big toy like the original, this is the badge of the Little Princess.
"I think I should paint it when I go back, shrimp and crab fishing hurt the hull too much." Ma Lena felt that it didn't matter, Tang Hai bent down and looked outside, he was a little distressed.
The white spray lined up on both sides, and the Little Princess took the lead, heading towards Seal Island, which was marked on the map.
Tang Hai thought to himself that he should find a way to give Prad some benefits, it seemed that he had some difficulties?
Seal Island is about 70 kilometers away from the coast, located in a current location in the Beaufort Sea, there are islands and currents, it is the most suitable growth area for shrimp and crabs, the island marked on the map is a bit small, it seems that not many people should know, Jennifer is now analyzing if there are a large number of arctic shrimp, then what are the environmental characteristics, and then try to calculate other fishing spots......
"Oh, it's a narwhal!"
At Malena's finger, more than a dozen narwhals are playing in the sea.
Their intelligence is only equivalent to that of a very small child, so they can have fun with some simple things, such as diving.
At this moment, several male whales were playing horizontally with tusks, but they were careful not to stab each other.
When the little princess appeared, the narwhals stopped moving, and then one of the youngest whined and let out a long cry, and swam up and down in the water! It was the narwhal who came to Tang Hai for help before!
The narwhals were not afraid of Dahlia's boat, and they followed one by one, and finally ran to the boat to lead the way......
"Hehe, I've always heard that cetaceans like to run ahead and lead the way when they see the boat going too fast. But this is actually the first time I've seen a narwhal, and it's still a narwhal. Jennifer, you said that if there is a big harvest, how can we give a red envelope to that Prad more reasonable? ”
Tang Hai's slogan is not to disappoint his friends, he has not gained anything at this time, and he is already thinking about how to repay people.
Jennifer was about to speak, but then she looked ahead with a shocked face, and then looked down at her phone......
"What's wrong?"
"Tail! Stop the boat! Jennifer ran to the cab in a hurry!
"God babble." Tang Hai said and took out his mobile phone to look at the map......
He jerked his head up again......
A few hundred meters to go!
And in front of you is the endless sea level!
