Another reason why king crabs are not crabs is that real crabs are fast walkers, and once they move on the bottom of the sea, they can run quickly. King crabs are different, they are walkers, and they walk gracefully, and they have the taste of a gentleman under the sea.

But whoever really thinks they are gentlemen can only be said to be blind, the temperament of the king crab is very strong, and the appetite is very greedy!

These creatures with small crusts and lids like to live in groups, and when they hunt, they will also nest, if they are targeted, even small sharks have to kneel, and once they are fenced, they will wait to be dismembered.

In addition, you can see their ferocity by looking at the appearance of king crabs, these guys are covered with sharp hook spines on their carapace and legs, and they are born with soft hedgehog armor, and they have few natural predators in the waters of the Arctic and Antarctic.

On the deck, Qin Shiou conveyed the fishing task, and more than 20 fishermen were busy.

"Lao Geng, the four of you will be optimistic about later, don't do it yet, let Shaq lead the team in the first two rounds of work, you just need to take a good look, understand?" Qin Shiou specially advised.

As mentioned earlier, king crab fishing is a very dangerous job, death is not uncommon, injuries are common, and if a crab fishing boat is healthy and no one is injured during the crab season, it can be said that God forbid.

This is not an exaggeration, the king crab fishing season often starts and ends for only four or five days, and during these four or five days, the work of the crab fishing boats is intense and heavy, and the fishermen do not rest for more than five hours a day.

Fatigue and drowsiness result in difficulty in concentrating and problems easily.

From the moment you step onto the crab boat. The fishermen are in constant danger.

The fishermen of Farewell Town are all veterans of this kind, even if they have never done this kind of work. Therefore, Qin Shiou nodded and said that after the official start of construction, everyone cheered up.

King crabs live in the deep sea. To catch them, you need a more powerful presence than other fishing equipment, and that is the super crab trap.

This kind of crab trap is flat cylindrical, the diameter of the cage is about two and a half meters, and the whole body is a solid steel bar, which is 300 kilograms, otherwise it cannot sink to the deep seabed.

In order to make reasonable use of the space of the fishing boat, these crab traps were stacked high, and the steel monsters more than ten meters high were piled up. The tie is particularly firm and tight, with thick chains for fingers and thick ropes for arms.

Geng Junjie took four Chinese soldiers to look curiously beside him, and Qin Shiou said: "If you have any questions, I need you to become the best fisherman in the shortest possible time, understand?" ”

A young man said, "Boss, I want to ask, do these crab traps have to be tied so tightly?" ”

Shaq, who was following Qin Shiou, answered the question: "Man, you have to know that the North Atlantic is a girl with a strange temper. October to December is the time when the wind and waves are at their highest. And once it enters January, it will be much less stormy. We didn't encounter particularly large waves along the way. This is God bless us. ”

"But normally, every year biologists set a fishing quota based on the growth of king crabs, and the government gives a crab fishing period. This is in October, which means that the crab boats have to go out to sea when the wind is at their highest. ”

"Have you ever seen a 100 km/h sea breeze? Have you ever walked through a 10-meter-high wave? ”

Geng Junjie shook his head. The other four nodded and said as a matter of course, "When I was in the fleet before. Such sea breezes and high waves are common. ”

Except for Geng Junjie, the other four people are all retired navy, which is the first point that Qin Shiou considered when recruiting in addition to personality, and naval soldiers have an advantage, that is, they can work on the ship immediately and will not get seasick.

For fishermen, the most fatal thing is seasickness, once seasick, let alone work, whether you can go out to the sea alive or not is two words.

Hearing them say this, Shaq laughed: "Then you understand, right?" When a boat is moving through the waves at a height of ten meters, it is not too strong to tie things up on it. ”

The sea monster commanded two calm fishermen to untie the ropes, and then the crane started, and the crab traps were lowered one by one.

There was inevitably a strong wind at sea, and the Melon Princess was swaying rhythmically, and after these crab traps were released, they seemed to become beasts that escaped from the cage under the impetus of the waves, full of lethality.

"You have to be extra careful when putting these big 300-kilogram creatures into the sea, both to avoid catching the crab pot with your hands and to prevent them from falling into the cage, I don't think you want to be the first big crab here, right?" Shaq said.

A few people burst into laughter, and the sea monster heard the laughter and pointed at them and warned, "Don't laugh, you think Shaq is joking?" Fack! Just seven years ago, my cousin Bruno, was fucking hung up in a goddamn crab trap, do you know what the result was? When we fished the crab pots again, his heart was full of ice! ”

A fisherman next to him patted the sea monster on the shoulder and whispered, "Bruno is living well in heaven, don't think about it." ”

Geng Junjie was silent for a moment, went up and put his arm around the sea monster's shoulders and said in English that was not fluent: "Sorry man, our fault, we will take this job seriously, it's scary, isn't it?" ”

The sea monster smiled reluctantly and said, "But don't be afraid of it. ”

As long as he is careful, fishing for king crab is not so dangerous, and Qin Shiou does not need to take risks now, which is one of the reasons why he decided to go to Greenland in January, the sea weather in November and December is too harsh.

Crab pots cascade into the ocean, containing delicious mackerel, herring and crushed cod meat, a delicacy for greedy king crabs, who will never resist the temptation.

After the crab trap was lowered, Shaq and the sea monster each took a team of people to start the second task, which was to carefully mop every part of the deck and stern with a mop.

It's noon, but the outside temperature of the ship is still minus 10 degrees Celsius, and at night, the temperature drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

What does this mean? It means that the roaring waves roll into the boat, and as soon as the waves fall, there is an extra layer of ice on the boat!

Not only does the ice cause it to be slippery, but it also puts a lot of load on the boat, which can easily cause the crab boat to capsize.

"I think you see that the waves come from one direction, and once there is a thick layer of ice on one side of the hull, then our only hope is the Coast Guard, which is responsible for the rescue of the sea." While taking the lead in the work, Shaq explained.

Qin Shiou also went into battle, not that he wanted to take the lead, but he had to exercise, in this environment, it was not enough to rely on air conditioning to keep warm, and more exercise to promote blood circulation. (To be continued......)
