Chapter 231: The Eve of the Storm (Part II)
There is no way to connect to the quantum network, and there is no way to enter the "world", which makes the night suddenly lonely and boring. Gu Tie couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, got up and smoked half a box of cigarettes, watched two episodes of housewife cooking shows on his tablet, stood next to the porthole for an hour, and looked up to see that it was already one o'clock in the morning. "Okay. "The Chinese slapped their thighs and decided to attack Aqiwei at night and pass the long night of panic with exciting adventures.
He put on his coat and opened the door and walked out of the room, sneaking through the dark passageway and turning a few corners to Azivi's door. The room of the Flower of the Rainforest is next to the captain's room, which is the only suite on the ship, the outside is the radio room where the chief of communication works, and inside is the bedroom with a bathroom, and the living area is more than three times larger than Gu Tie. Of course, this is the special preferential treatment given by the captain of the ship to the first female crew member in the eighteen-year history of the "Old Man of the Sea". Gu Tie leaned to the door, looked at the fragile old-fashioned rollerball door lock, and let out a wicked smile, "Little Red Riding Hood, open the door quickly, grandmother has come to see you with strawberries and muffins...... " He wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth and quietly took out two thin wires from his pocket. Although he is not an expert in unlocking, this kind of old door lock that can be pierced with instant noodles is not a challenge at all, and Gu Tie decided to get this door in thirty seconds.
At this time, the captain's room next to him suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, the sound became louder and louder, obviously someone was walking towards the door, and the evil smile on Gu Tie's face froze.
"Bang!" the door to the captain's room was pushed open, and the captain, Mr. Douji, the fisherman, and Mr. Yoneya, and Aqiwei walked out, talking and laughing. The captain was happily exclaiming, "This news is really great, it seems that this time the 'old man at sea' will still be able to return with a full load, hahaha! This is also Miss Momoba's ......"
He couldn't finish his sentence, because the light in the room illuminated a black obscene figure, and the three of them were startled together. The captain shouted in a tremolo, "...... Tell me who you are!"
The man in the corridor opened his eyes in a daze, and said vaguely, "Hmm, what kind of place is this, who are you, earthlings?"
“...... Iron...... Chef Sakurai!" the flower of the rainforest widened.
Gu Tie rubbed his eyes and looked around, and suddenly jumped up with a snort: "Damn, I'm not sleeping in the room, why did I get to this place when I woke up?Captain, fisherman, and Miss Sakurai, what are you doing here?...... How did I get here?"
Aqiwei's eyes swept away, and a cold light flashed in her gray-blue pupils: "Maybe you're sleepwalking, Mr. Chef." By the way, what are you doing with two pieces of wire in your hands?"
Chinese looked down at the thin wire in his hand, and said confusedly, "So that's the case...... When I was a child, I used to sleepwalk, and once again I almost fell into the well in the yard and died. These two wires are also childhood memories, its name is 'water exploration stick', I remember when I was a child, every child would play this game in his hands, the left and right hands held a long and a short two pieces of wire, gently hold, so that the wire remains parallel, and then walk around looking for underground treasures, once close to the treasure, the two parallel wires will automatically separate left and right, then dig into the ground...... When I was a kid, I dug up coins from the Kamakura period! If you were a captain, you would know about this game, wouldn't you, captain?"
Dollar stammered, "Oh, yes, yes, I think I've heard of this kind of game......"
Gu Tie suddenly covered his eyes and sobbed: "I haven't sleepwalked for many years, but today I dreamed of my father, since I was a child, my father would beat me every time I drank wine, I was afraid of him, I always tried to please him, and it was my childhood dream to find treasures with a water exploration stick...... Only once, when he touched my head and complimented me, was when I found the Kamakura coin, and I wished he could have complimented me like that, saying that I was a 'good boy', but my father had died in a car accident three years ago, and no matter how good I was, I ......."
Hearing this, the eyes of Captain Dollar and Captain Migu Fisherman were filled with tears, and the two old men rushed over to hug Chinese's shoulders and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, the 'Old Man at Sea' is your new home, Sakurai, no one will bully you here, go back and sleep well......"
"Thank you, captain, fishing chief......" Gu Tie said emotionally, and then secretly gave Aqiwei a smug look, and said silently with his mouth open and closed, "Wait for me!" The Flower of the Rainforest snorted, made a neck gesture at him, and turned back to her room.
Gu Tie's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth, but it can be regarded as the crystallization of years of experience in psychological research. To arouse the emotional resonance of adult men, the simplest is to discuss the topic of father, no matter how strong the mind of the iron man will open the hard shell when he says the word "father", exposing the tender soft flesh, for the Oriental people who are not good at expressing feelings, this is a secret weapon that has been tried and tested. After some comfort, the captain pulled Gu Tie to his room and helped him make a cup of hot tea to warm up.
Taking a sip of tea, Gu Tie said curiously: "By the way, Captain, what were you happy about just now?
The captain and the fishing captain glanced at each other, and the head of the rice valley fishing pushed his round-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "We just received a good news on the radio, the communication chief of Momoba just came to report, and I also confirmed it on the sonar." The news is that there is a large school of tuna migrating out of season right in front of us, which means that the fishing is going to start early!"
"Huh?" the Chinese were taken aback, "we're still far from Africa, aren't we?"
Captain Dollar said: "We recently passed through the Strait of Malacca and officially entered the Indian Ocean. The fishing ground is fifty nautical miles ahead, and I have woken up the chief engineer and told the 'old man of the sea' to go full speed. We are the first tuna boat to sail this year, and the other fishing boats are behind, so for the time being we can monopolize this fishing ground, how can this news not make people happy? The large-scale appearance of tuna in the eastern Indian Ocean is not a common occurrence, and it seems that God is shipping us free of charge!"
That is to say...... "Gu Tiedao."
"In other words, the first fishing of the year will start in two hours!" the captain waved his fist, "From now on, the whole ship is in fishing mode!"
That is to say...... "Gu Tiedao."
"Ah, yes, Chef Sakurai, it's hard for you to prepare your meals according to the fishing schedule. The dollar patted the Chinese on the shoulder and encouraged, "The first time you get on the boat will be very hard, come on!"
"Ahh......h
Gu Tie didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at the time, but as soon as he returned to the room, the sound of the diesel engine of the "Old Man at Sea" became noisy, the lights were turned on, and people were running around on the deck in a chaotic manner, and they couldn't sleep even if they wanted to.
At 1:30 a.m., Mr. Yoneya, the chief fisherman, began to look for a suitable fishing ground on the sonar, and Aziwei sat in front of the radio station, searching for the communication signals of nearby ships. "Wouldn't this position be useless if everyone switched to satellite dishes?" Aziwei muttered to herself as she clicked the tuning switch. At this time, Gu Tie was dragged to the kitchen and began to prepare a surprisingly early breakfast.
At 2:00, the food was served on the table, and the eight sailors of the rope release group sat in the canteen and devoured it. "Hello, Mr. Toriyama......" Gu Tie asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Ah, you can't say 'hello' when you enter the fishing season, chef!" said Yasuichi Toriyama as if taken aback, "When you meet and greet you, you have to say 'calm and quiet' and 'full of guests', you must remember that this is the law of the sea!"
"Got it, I'll remember. Do you have to go to work so early? It's pitch black outside. Gu Tie grinned and said, he forgot to wash his hands after cutting the vegetables just now, and his eyes were stung with chili peppers at this moment.
"It's an hour late today, but the fishing ground hasn't arrived yet, so let's be lazy for a while." Yasuichi Nagatoriyama replied while biting on the rice balls.
At 3:00, Mr. Yoneya slapped the table and stood up, and reported the predetermined coordinates to the captain according to the sonar information, and the captain entered the coordinates into the navigation system, and the "Old Man of the Sea" quickly arrived at the predetermined position. Captain Dollar came to the deck, looked at the dark sea, and waved, "Drop the rope!"
"Guests!" shouted the eight sailors of the rope release group, and Yasuichi Toriyama stood on the side of the ship in his water pants and threw the first main rope with all his might.
Gu Tie stood next to him and asked in a low voice, "Can you explain?" I still don't know how to catch tuna. ”
"Google it. Azivi replied coldly.
At 6:00, the work of the rope release group continued, Gu Tie was sleepily preparing for the second breakfast, while checking the information on the tablet, "Oh!" he exclaimed, "It turns out that the tuna is caught like this!"
Tuna is caught with a hook. Of course, this hook is much thicker than the hook used for fishing rods, which are bound by a thin but tough nylon line with a five- to ten-meter-long nylon line attached to the main rope, which is the thickness of a human arm, and is made of a very tough polymer material. The Old Man of the Sea's fishing system has a total of 3,000 hooks, each of which is 100 metres apart, which means that when the main rope is fully released, the long rope towed by the fishing boat will reach ......
"Damn, 300 kilometers long fishing line!" Gu Tie couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
