Chapter 206: Dismounting, New Equipment
The waves snapped directly into the hull and then retreated, and the water that rushed to the deck suddenly left the deck and merged into the sea as if it had fled, as if it did not want to stay on the deck for a moment, and then it came back and forth.
The bow of the arrow has not yet recovered from one side swing, and the big wave from the bow of the ship has lifted the bow again, and before the bow sinks, another wave lifts the bow, and now the arrow is like playing with the rocker, which is not just up and down but in all directions.
As soon as he arrived at the sea of Granbank, it seemed that he wanted to give the brand-new Arrow a dismount and tell the captain of the Arrow who was the boss here. The wind over the sea is blowing from the southeast at a speed of 20 knots. The wind and waves made the whole Granbank fishery tumble and roar like boiling water in a pot. Now there is nothing on the surface of the sea but these rolling waves.
Standing on the bridge and looking outside, you can only see two colors, the deep blue of the sea and the bright light blue of the sky.
The three people on the Arrow are all gathered in the cockpit, and now the cockpit is very high, and the line of sight of the Ripple is much better, and the more than a dozen display screens that are integrated with the table suddenly make the cabin full of science and technology.
Bei Hai is wearing the same orange work clothes as Matt and Qi Yiming, such clothes are not only waterproof but also eye-catching, and it is easier to rescue if they fall into the sea, of course, it is better not to happen in case, just like now if this ronin can't be saved a minute or two before he falls, it is estimated that there is not much hope.
"Attention, the waves are coming!" Matt exclaimed happily. Remind everyone to hold on, Matt's voice shook as soon as it landed on the hull of the boat.
"This wave is really terrible! Compared to here, the small waves where we stayed last year were like ripples in a bathtub! Qi Yiming looked at the waves on the deck that were flowing back into the sea from the drainage port and said.
Qi Yiming came to Granbank for the first time. It was also the first time that I felt such a shocking sea. Of course, if you see such a scene on TV, you can't help but feel the magnificence of the sea, but it is believed that not a single fishing boat operating in Granbank wants to see this kind of grandeur.
Matt heard Qi Yiming say this, and said with disdain: "This is the big wave in your eyes?" Wind speeds in Granbank can easily go up to 100 knots. Countless storms and hurricanes are happening here! Even! What you're seeing now is an appetizer! ”
After speaking, he sighed and continued: "It's been ten years, I haven't been to Granbank for ten years, who knows if I come back and it will still have this stinky temper!" ”。
"It won't always be like this, will it?" Qi Yiming asked.
"Of course not, occasionally it has times when it is in a good mood, there is almost no wind and waves, and it is a little gentler, but there are not too many times like this!".
The two crew members were chatting about the sea and waves in Granbank, while the captain of Bei Hai was staring carefully at the two screens in front of him, one was the situation from the underwater camera, and the other was the fish under the boat from the towed sonar.
A $3 million ship wasn't blown out for nothing. Now the Arrow is equipped with the most advanced underwater detection radar for civilian use, and it is not installed on the ship, but the electric winch on the guò ship is placed into the sea, which can reach a depth of up to 100 meters, and at the same time, the sonar is assembled on an underwater camera, which can transmit the situation in the water to the cockpit of Beihai.
Now Bei Hai was about to look for the point of throwing fishing gear from the arrow, and while looking at Bei Hai, he marked it with his hand on the large display screen at the level of his bow. Bei Hai did it carefully, and marked a dozen small circle symbols along the warm side of the two ocean currents where cold and warm meet.
Matt couldn't read what was on the big touchscreen in front of his captain, and he couldn't accept anything too advanced. It's like looking at this cockpit now, or it's more appropriate to call it a bridge now, because there are a few things in it that Matt is familiar with, such as a camel pan and a walkie-talkie. All of them are different, and now there are more than a dozen shiny screens in the entire bridge, and Matt even feels a little like he is standing in the cockpit of a spaceship from an old movie.
"Prepare to throw your fishing gear!" Bei Hai gave the order to throw the first fishing gear this fishing season.
As for the sea breeze outside the ship, it is not a problem that Bei Hai should consider. Even now, at the same wind speed, Bei Hai knows that he can't see it. But all the fishing boats that come to Granbank will not be intimidated by such waves, and the whole season can only go to sea for more than two months. No one wants to waste this precious fishing time, and few people can.
As the old fishermen say, everyone who comes to Granbank is desperate to catch the best fish to pay the bills and beg for a living, not to make friends for a vacation.
Looking up at the horizontal gyro on the boat, Bei Hai said to Matt, "Put the bird's wings down!" ”。
Now such a big wind speed and such a big wave caused the hull to shake very much, if you just stand on the deck of your crew to work is not impossible, but the consumption on the body is several times the usual workload, and the arrow from the design of the consideration of this, not only the compact trimaran hull brings better stability, but also the bird wing is quite powerful, why not use!
Those who are not familiar with it may not know what a bird's wing is, but there is usually an iron frame on the left and right on the longline fishing boat, which is like a tower crane for building a house, and the thing that is vertical on one side is called a cantilever, and the cantilever is lowered as if a person has opened his arms, and then at the front of the cantilple, a triangular iron plate is put down through the guò hinge, which can balance the strength of the hull and maintain stability after reaching the bottom of the water.
Matt listened bitterly and asked, "Captain, how do you put the bird's wings?" ”。
Bei Hai listened and walked to Matt's side, stretched out his hand and tapped on a screen to teach Matt attentively: "This screen is to control some additional equipment on the ship, in this menu you can find bird wings, and then reach out and click on it." If you don't get used to it, you can also click on this Jian on this screen to switch to mechanical control! ”。
Matt said, "Captain, you should switch to mechanical control of my part, I'm a little dizzy when I come and go like this!" ”。
Hearing this, Bei Hai smiled, and pressed it directly in the place he just said, and then the lid hidden on the small control platform on the front of the deck of the ship opened.
"Let's go to the deck!" Bei Hai said.
"Captain, we can do it, we've demonstrated it several times!" Matt said. Although I am a little confused about the new fishing method of Bei Hai, I still know how to play Matt with my captain's patented new fishing method, of course, if Matt is not careful, it is estimated that the old man's girlfriend will count down.
"I'll go and see!" Bei Hai waved his hand after speaking.
The three of them got out of the bridge and went down the ladder to the deck, Bei Hai watched Matt put down the bird's wings by hand, and then began to assemble the first set of fishing gear with Qi Yiming.
There are several parts of the new fishing gear designed by Beihai, the fishing float and buzzer on the sea surface are to allow the boat to better find the fishing gear thrown in the sea, and the one about 30 meters underwater is one' The sun-shaped floating device, the three horizontal lines of the upper middle and lower of the Japanese word are not inflated first, but six compressed air tanks are prepared, so that the buoyancy device can be pulled to a depth of about 30 meters by relying on the weight of the air tank, and the six junctions of the Japanese-shaped buoyancy device are each hung with a main line about 100 meters long, and the end of the main line is also equipped with two sub-lines of different lengths. There are 12 hooks in a group, and at least three fish must be hooked as long as the fish are found.
When a fish bites the hook, the balancer hanging on the floating device determines that there is a fish on the hook, and then begins to send signals to the buzzer and the controller of the compressed air tank, the buzzer is responsible for transmitting the signal to the boat, and the compressed air tank is to inflate the main buoyancy cylinder, that is, the upper, middle and lower three horizontal of the Japanese zigzag, the whole inflation process is about forty-five minutes, and then the arrow only needs to press the buzzer to send a signal to find the fishing gear.
As for the fish? After dragging a buoyancy device ten meters long and six meters wide in the sea for more than forty minutes, how much strength does it have left to fight with Mateqi Yiming?! Anyway, Bei Hai tried it with a 1,400-pound big blue fin in the space, and it didn't take more than ten minutes to run, and this thing was packed with nothing but panting!
This can't be blamed on the fish, only on the fact that the things designed by Bei Hai are too 'yin'. It is laborious enough to drag the fish down the things that are half-floating in the water, and it is constantly aerating, and the resistance and washing force generated will become greater and greater, and it is good that the fish does not tire to death.
The fishing gear is quite advanced, and the cost is quite terrible, just a set of such fishing gear is 80,000 US dollars. However, Bei Hai believes that this thing is absolutely worth the money, in fact, Bei Hai applied for a patent when he was designing!
Matt and Qi Yiming loaded it and put it into the sea, and it took a full thirty minutes for a set of fishing gear. Bei Hai was very satisfied with this kind of time, because his two crew members had spent hard work to practice, and Bei Hai couldn't do it so quickly anyway. The last time Bei Hai assembled them, it took an hour and a half to get it into the water.
“OK! Next group! Bei Hai returned to the bridge and carefully checked the electronics on the fishing gear, and found that everything was normal, and then the engine started and headed towards the next placement point that he was optimistic about.
It took more than three hours for the three sets of fishing gear on the entire boat to be placed. The crew can rest, but Bei Hai has to steer the ship to find a hook for the incoming asterisk.
Now the whole fishing season has really begun! Now in addition to Bei Hai's heart, Matt and Qi Yiming, who stayed in the cabin and were lying down watching TV, were all apprehensive, because it was always a little uneasy to think of something new when using it for the first time.
