Chapter 50: The Sunken Battleship
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Yu You went out to sea to fish as usual, because of the long voyage, so that many people more or less negative state and emotions, Yu You first encouraged the morale before dinner, and then explained that this is the last fishing operation, after a few days of hard work can be returned, probably more looking forward to the feeling of standing on land, the crew who re-raised their morale intends to go all out and complete tonight's operation.
This time Yu You personally drove manually, Shen Bing took over a vacant seat in the second team, with Yu You's order, all the lights were turned on, and on the dark sea level, the sea wheel 1000 was like a bright light, guiding the lost Pacific cod.
This time, without the hindrance of sea lions, the phototaxis of Pacific cod made them all notice the bright lights at night, and rushed over with a bang, jumping out of the sea to a height of half a meter!
Yu Yu swim sees the right time, increases the horsepower, and catches up with the speed of the cod!
"Cast the net!" Yu You's calm voice came from the radio, and the crews who were responsible for casting the net on both sides were in full swing, with a clear division of labor, without the slightest hesitation, and the cod that fell into the big net still didn't know it, and was blinded by the light. Yu You judged the degree of steering by the number of fish displayed on the instrument, and with previous experience, Yu You was much more comfortable coping, only to see him full rudder on the left once, full rudder on the right twice, and then full rudder on the left three times.
Turning and accelerating pauses in quick succession are as smooth as possible, trying to cover both large nets with the attracted Pacific cod! This night was destined to be sleepless, Yu You and others worked hard for a day and night, and did not finish until dawn!
In the end, the catch was more abundant than the last one, reaching 100 tons, of which 90 tons were Pacific cod, and about 10 tons of other seafood, which needed to be further classified.
It can be seen in the last fishing ground of Youlin, rich in Pacific cod, because it is far away from the surrounding countries, it belongs to the high seas, for some fishing boats that do not have the ability to sail to the sea, the distance is too far, so it will not go deep into this fishing, coupled with the downturn in the domestic cod market, there is no reason to come here to catch cod.
After Yu You let everyone rest for a few days, he continued to fish in this area, because the cod population is so large that many currents converge here, making the plankton here richer than the previous ones.
This time, Yu You fished for two nights in a row, and the number of cod reached 150 tons, and about 75 tons of cod could be harvested each time, and the rest of the seafood reached about 20 tons.
After some statistics and classification, Yu You's harvest this time has about 300 tons of Pacific cod, 10 tons of cuttlefish, 2 tons of squid, 3 tons of herring fish, 20 tons of hairtail fish, and miscellaneous seafood such as sea crabs, lobsters and so on about 10,000 catties.
The harvest is so fruitful that nearly a month of fishing operations is over, and it will take about half a month for the 1000 ships to arrive at the coastal port from here, which is another long journey, especially for these first-time fishing crews.
However, after this tempering, the members of the marine department are no longer the so-called company security guards, but real ocean-going crews, and the people in the business department will respect them more, and will not feel that they are taking the company's money to do work that is not in line with their salary.
Yu You always felt that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this fishing at sea illustrates this problem, if you rush to recruit experienced crew members before going to sea, not to mention that there must be a certain run-in period, it is difficult to say what happened, and Yu You, the members of the marine department, have a certain sense of belonging to the company, after all, they have been working in the company for a few months, and this official sea is to give them the opportunity to perform, so everyone tried their best.
After about a day of travel, the sea vessel 1000 sailed 100 nautical miles, Yu You saw through the telescope that there was an isolated island not far away, thinking that several crew members in the ship had different degrees of sepsis and other symptoms that seagoing crews often have, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
returned to the cab and said to Shen Bing: "Second brother, you turn around and go to the nearby island, let's go to the island to rest." "It may be due to the psychological effect, or the lack of vitamin C supplementation, a total of 3 crew members could not withstand it, and after experiencing a night fishing task of huge physical exertion, three more fell, all resting in the cabin, there was no danger to life, but the mental state was sluggish.
And Xiao Yi, who had fallen down before, has fully recovered, probably thanks to Yu You's bag of oranges. Shen Bing nodded, he was also quite worried about his subordinates, so he accelerated towards the isolated island after hearing this, this island does not seem to be big, and there is not much vegetation in it, indicating that the size of the animals living in it is not too large, which is a good thing for You and others.
Yu You's idea is to let these crew members who are not in a good mental state get off the ship and go to the island to relax, often on the boat, their psychological state will be extremely depressed, and the feeling of going with the flow is not good! Especially these rookie sailors who are not too experienced.
"Bang-" The position of the bow part of the ship seems to have hit something, Yu You looked at the speed, just driving at a low speed, and said: "It may have hit the reef, fortunately, the speed is not fast, it should not be a big problem, I will go to the sea to explore the location of the reef, and you follow my guidance." β
After Yu You walked out of the deck, he was going to go into the equipment room to get diving equipment, when Zhao Zhongren came over and said, "Boss, it's time to let me go this time, right?" The depth here is not deep, less than 100 meters! β
"No problem, call another person, isn't Mo Junmin a professional frogman? Call him in, and the three of us will explore the way so that the boat will not hit the reef again. Yu You nodded, and took Zhao Zhongren and Mo Junmin to the sea together, which is only a few hundred meters away from the isolated island, in order to avoid running aground and hitting the reef again, it is necessary to go to the sea and be explored by divers.
After swimming into the sea, the three of them dispersed, using radio communication equipment to contact Shen Bing in the wheelhouse of the ship, and under the correct guidance, the sea vessel 1000 docked near a natural harbor on an isolated island.
At this time, Mo Junmin said on the radio channel: "Report, I found a shipwreck here!" β
Yu You was excited when he heard the shipwreck, you must know that Yu You only found a shipwreck once in the sea, and that time Yu You harvested 100,000 yuan worth of export porcelain, which was given to Wu Zexun and improved the relationship between the two.
In You's impression, a shipwreck is equivalent to a treasure! Unexpectedly, Mo Junmin, who is a former professional frogman, discovered a shipwreck nearby so quickly, indicating that his seabed reconnaissance ability is extremely strong.
Yu You and Zhao Zhongren arrived successively, Yu You saw a sunken ship similar to a battleship, not civilian, and when he saw the cannon on the deck, he could understand that this was a combat iron ship.
The depth here is only about 40 meters, and people who are well-trained and have a certain ability to dive into the sea can reach this depth, and the pressure is not too great, and it is completely bearable.
But once the depth is a few thousand meters, then the pressure on the seabed from all directions is 1 ton! The full coverage of 1 ton of pressure can collapse the tank, it is conceivable that ordinary human beings can basically not go deep into the deep sea, and can only use high-tech deep-sea submersibles or nuclear submarines in layman's terms.
For example, American submersibles can reach the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.
Zhao Zhongren is closer to Mo Junmin's position, Yu You is not as fast as him, the two have already explored the situation of the shipwreck battleship on the seabed, Yu You found that Zhao Zhongren took out a flag from the mast, Yu You was a little puzzled, this flag has long been tattered, I can't see what it is, I only know that the central part seems to be a picture of the rising sun?
After the three of them went ashore, Yu You took off his helmet and said, "Lao Zhao, what are you holding in your hand?" "Yu You can't be sure yet, but it's basically certain one or two.
"Well, I guess it's the Sun Flag, the nationality of the battleship below should be from an island country, a battleship sunk by the United States in the Pacific during World War II." Zhao Zhongren said in an affirmative tone, after all, he was born in special forces, and after exploring the style of the battleship and the sun flag he obtained, this series of judgments will not be wrong.
Mo Junmin didn't know what was wrong, his mood was a little low, Yu You said, "What's wrong?" Why did he show an expression of concern for the country and the people. β
"Mr. Yu, I just thought of the history of World War II, and I felt a lot of emotion, you wait for me, I'll get on the ship!" Mo Junmin, did not take off the diving suit, but carried two duck fins, barefoot ran to the boat, at this time after the boat docked, they all got off the boat one after another, to the isolated island to release the wind, everyone has been suffocated on the boat, there is a rest land before going back, the mood is still very happy, although the vegetation here is not dense, edible fresh water, food is basically not, but there is a beautiful beach, everyone is lying on the beach sunbathing!
Mo Junmin ran off the boat in a general manner, holding a stack of neatly wrapped national flags in his hand, Yu You said with some confusion: "Dude, you don't plan to insert the national flag on the mast of the warship of the island country, do you?" β
"Yes, Mr. Yu, am I too naΓ―ve?" Mo Junmin was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were very firm, Yu You glanced at Zhao Zhongren, saw him nodded, patted Mo Junmin's shoulder, with an expression of I understand you, and said: "Go and go back quickly, Mr. Yu and I went up to change clothes, remember to tie it strongly, don't blow it away by the waves." β
"Understood! I will always fix the national flag on the mast of the battleship of the island nation! Mo Junmin's words caused Yu You to think deeply, although Mo Junmin's doing this didn't seem to make any sense, in the eyes of others, it was just a manifestation of lust, but it had multiple meanings in it.
Maybe it's a feeling? Or is it anticipation? Whatever the reason, veterans such as the Mozambican military and civilians discovered the island's warship sunk during World War II, which also prompted them to choose to plant the national flag on the mast.
The red flag fluttered at a depth of 40 meters, as if asserting his position, Yu You's mood suddenly became solemn, and after changing his clothes, he wandered around the beach without saying a word, seemingly admiring the shells left on the beach, but actually thinking about other things.
