Chapter 130: Exponential Fishing Efficiency
Su Yan quickly made arrangements, and the fishing team to the big river consisted of 40 men and 60 women, a total of 100 people, led by Su Yan, Biao, and Song, and brought five groups of slaves, including the leader of the monkey tribe.
The construction team consisted of 60 men and 60 women, a total of 120 people, led by Yuan and Shen, with the remaining five groups of semi-slaves.
Zhi sits in the tribal settlement, leading the rest of the tribe to guard the tribe and watch over the remaining slaves.
The tasks and personnel were assigned, the two teams set off separately, and the slaves brought by the two teams were also untied, they had no weapons in their hands, and there were hostages in the tribe's settlement, and it was unlikely that these slaves would resist regardless of whether the hostages were alive or dead.
The building team did not have to go far, and a large number of materials for building houses could be found in the jungle around the tribal settlement, while the fishing team had to walk a distance, and the distance between the river and the tribal settlement was more than a kilometer.
After walking for more than half an hour, the fishing team walked through the jungle to the river, and unexpectedly found that there was also a team of about thirty or forty adult women on the other side of the river, who stood on the bank and inserted fish into the water with "harpoons".
Sensing that there were people on the opposite bank of the river, they just looked up a few times and then continued fishing, they did not have time to waste time watching the excitement, it was better to catch a few more fish if they had this time.
The people of the dragon tribe's fishing team looked at the opposite bank a few more times, and then also retracted their gaze, there was a large river blocking it, and the two sides could not be easily contacted.
People from the monkey tribe rarely come to this side of the river, and there is a small river closer to the south of the tribe's residence, from which water can be obtained, so there is no need to come to the big river.
Su Yan and the female tribesmen in the fishing team were close to the water's edge, and the male tribesmen were responsible for guarding the five groups of slaves.
Su Yan took a fishing net with a diameter of more than five meters from the hands of the clansmen, and after a little tidying up, he grabbed the fishing net in his hand, especially the No. 3 hemp rope connected to the center of the fishing net, and then Su Yan grabbed the fishing net, shook it lightly a few times, and finally threw it hard into the big river.
The fishing net that was thrown out was opened in mid-air, and under the gravity of a circle of small stones tied to the fishing net, the fishing net quickly fell to the surface of the river, and at the other end of the fishing net, Su Yan grabbed the hemp rope tightly, and after the fishing net entered his hand, Su Yan could clearly feel the pull from the hemp rope through the hemp rope.
Feeling almost, Su Yan dragged the hemp rope with both hands, wanting to drag the fishing net out of the river, according to the calculation of the pulling force he exerted, Su Yan could feel that the harvest of this net could be twenty or thirty catties.
There was no need for other people's help, Su Yan dragged the fishing net to the shore alone, and the clansmen all gathered around to watch, they looked at the fish in the net in surprise, this net caught thirteen fish, weighing more than thirty catties, and the largest fish was already more than seven catties.
As long as you are proficient in the skill of throwing fishing nets, with the density of fish in the middle of the river, it is easy to catch more than a dozen fish in a net.
"Seventeenth, come here." Summon a slave to hand him the fishing net and order him to untie the fish from the net, Su Yan turned to the other people and said, "Don't just watch me fish, you can try it too." ”
Hearing Su Yan's words, the three female clansmen stood up, they stood apart from each other at a distance of seven or eight meters on the bank of the river, sorted out the fishing nets in their hands a little according to the net throwing method they had learned, and then grabbed the fishing net with both hands and prepared to throw the net.
In the process of flying, the three fishing nets were quickly opened, but there was a little accident, and when the fishing nets fell into the river, one of the nets was not fully opened, probably only half opened, and the other two nets were completely opened.
After six or seven breaths of the nets fell into the river, the three of them began to pull the twine hard and pull the nets up the riverbank.
The three nets caught nine fish, ten fish, and four fish respectively, and the total weight of the fish harvested by the first two nets was more than 20 catties, and the harvest of the last fishing net was also more than 10 catties.
"You're doing a good job, keep up the good work." Su Yan encouraged, and the three female clansmen smiled happily when they heard Su Yan's encouragement.
It's a good start.
Three more slaves were summoned to free the fish from the nets, and more people tried to catch fish by the river with fishing nets.
They stand at a distance one by one, and then throw a fishing net into the river, and fish out of the river, with an average harvest of 20 catties per net, but some people are more nervous because they use the fishing net for the first time to fish, resulting in the failure of throwing the fishing net, the fishing net is half open or even not opened, the half-open fishing net can still have some harvest, and the fishing net that is not opened is naturally not harvested at all.
After weaving fishing nets last year, Su Yan taught them the skills of throwing fishing nets, although they did not use fishing nets at that time, but when they practiced on the flat ground, they all mastered the skills of throwing fishing nets.
But even if they make a mistake now, fishing in a large river with a net is far more efficient than fishing in a small river with a cage with the same number of people.
There is no way, the fish cage can only catch one fish at a time, because of the size of the small river and the size of the fish cage, it is difficult for the fish cage to catch more than five catties of fish.
Changing to a big river, there are more big fish in the big river, and even a single big fish weighing more than ten catties can be caught with a fishing net, which is a difficult thing for a fish cage to do.
There is also a disadvantage to the comparison between fishing nets and fish cages, which only catch one fish at a time, and you can quickly take the fish out of the cage and put the fish cage back into the water to continue fishing.
The fishing net catches multiple fish at once, takes the fish from the fishing net, and reorganizes the fishing net, both of which take a lot of time, and it takes several times longer to catch a fish in a fishing net and then catch a second fish than a fish cage.
Anyway, the dragon tribe has no shortage of hemp rope, and you can weave more fishing nets in the future, throw down one fishing net and pull it up, and then throw another fishing net, and the net fish that is dragged up can be handed over to the slave to deal with, so that the fishing efficiency can be improved again, and this fishing efficiency is far from comparable to fishing with a fishing cage.
The fishing efficiency is so high, the people of the dragon tribe are only a little surprised, the most surprised is the five groups of slaves brought by the fishing team, the last two meals are fish to make them understand that fish is also food, seeing a net of fish being dragged out of the river, they can't stop being surprised, so many fish, they can't eat it with an open stomach.
"This enemy is not only powerful, but also has access to endless food every day, which is terrifying." The leader of the monkey tribe was amazed.
