Chapter 297: Opening the Blind Box at Sea
Li Xiaofeng has never objected to striking while the iron is hot, so after Li Xiaoliang and the crew sorted out the trawl, Li Xiaofeng once again drove the fishing boat into the undulating wind and wave area.
In fact, this wind and wave area is also one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, it is not only an international waterway between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, it is also known as the crossroads connecting Asia and Oceania, but it is also the most important energy transportation channel for Japan, the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, known as their "sea lifeline", and I don't know how many ships pass here every day!
So if it weren't for a storm that briefly changed the environment, the waters in the waterway were not very suitable for netting.
However, the storm was only temporary, so when Li Xiaofeng sailed the fishing boat in the area for more than an hour, he had to prepare to leave.
Because the impact of the previous storm on this sea area is getting smaller and smaller, the gradual calming of the sea has also made those reef fish driven out by the wind and waves return to the areas where they are used to living, which also leads to fewer and fewer fish they can catch in trawling.
So seeing this situation, Li Xiaofeng also felt that it was time for them to leave.
It's just that Li Xiaofeng, who was about to drive the fishing boat away, was suddenly stunned when he looked ahead, then he rubbed his eyes, and then his face showed an unbelievable look.
Then I heard him leave a sentence: "Guangming, the fishing boat is handed over to you to drive!" ”
Then, without waiting for Meng Guangming's answer, he pulled his legs and ran towards the deck, as if there was some treasure waiting for him there.
At this time, Li Xiaoliang was sorting things out with the crew on the deck, and when he saw Li Xiaofeng running past him, he was also stunned, and then hurriedly followed.
Coming to the side of the boat, Li Xiaofeng stared at the sea not far below the fishing boat, and after confirming that he was not wrong just now, he couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.
At this time, Li Xiaoliang, who was out of breath who was running behind him, also came to his side, and said a little breathlessly: "Feng...... Brother...... you run...... What? ”
Li Xiaofeng did not answer him directly, but pointed to the sea not far away.
Then I saw that Li Xiaoliang also seemed to be fascinated, his mouth was wide open, and his face showed a look of disbelief.
After he reacted, he grabbed Li Xiaofeng's arm and said with surprise on his face: "Brother Feng, I'm not mistaken, we actually found a container in the sea!" ”
Looking at Li Xiaoliang's expression of surprise, Li Xiaofeng's face was also full of smiles and said: "I must be right, but what is in the container is not necessarily!" ”
After all, this is a golden waterway for a day, and I don't know how many freighters pass here every day, and no one knows what is in these containers.
It is very likely that this container in the sea was blown down by a storm when a cargo ship passed here yesterday.
At this moment, the other crew members on the deck also followed to the side of the ship, looking at the containers on the sea, everyone stood there excitedly and pointed, all smiling.
Speaking of this kind of container found at sea, even if it is picked up on the high seas, it should be to contact the owner or hand it over to the state.
But in reality, there are really few ships that will do such a thankless task, and the general default rule at sea is that whoever picks it up is whoever picks it up.
The container picked up at sea is also nicknamed "the blind box of the sea" by the crew, and the opening of the container is comparable to the scene of a large blind box!
And generally after a ship picks up a container, the default rule is to open the container, and if the contents are available to the crew, they will generally not be stingy with their crew.
So this can be said to be a blind box opening activity in which all the crew participates, once something good is opened, everyone will benefit, so everyone will be so excited!
The default rules at sea are like this, so Li Xiaofeng is not prepared to carry forward any noble qualities.
However, he was not prepared to open the container right here, his plan was to drag the container first, and then find a quiet place to open it slowly.
When the time comes, if it is a domestic container and everyone is a fellow countryman, then contact the owner, which can be regarded as helping the owner to reduce some losses. If it was a container from another country or region, then he was not prepared to do such a thankless task.
At this time, the crew on the deck gathered more and more, and many crew members who were originally working in the cabin, I don't know where they heard the news, also came to the deck to watch the excitement at this time.
The deck was full of joy, and those who didn't know thought their fishing boat was celebrating some kind of festival.
Han Minghua and Hu Dequan also followed the crew to the deck, and they were all looking at the containers on the sea with surprise on their faces at the moment.
"Fifth brother, what are you going to do with it?" Han Minghua asked expectantly, and Hu Dequan and Li Xiaoliang next to him also looked at him with blank eyes.
They were now most afraid of saying something from his mouth to return to its original owner, after all, Li Xiaofeng was the only owner of the fishing boat, and if he insisted on doing so, then no one could change his decision.
Li Xiaofeng looked at the expressions of the three of them, how he didn't understand what they meant, he couldn't help but say with a dumb smile: "Of course we have to open the blind box according to the rules!" ”
Hearing his answer, the crew on the deck couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers.
"But the blind box can't be opened here!" Li Xiaofeng continued to add with a smile, "After all, this is a busy waterway, so let's drag it to a quiet place and drive slowly. ”
"Listen to Fifth Brother/Brother Feng!" Han Minghua, Hu Dequan, and Li Xiaoliang said with a smile.
After making a decision, Li Xiaofeng then commanded Meng Guangming to carefully pull the fishing boat over, and then Han Minghua and Hu Dequan personally led several crew members down and fixed a steel cable at the junction of the head corner of the container.
The fishing boat then dragged the container and slowly headed for a remote island shown on the electronic chart.
Speaking of Li Xiaofeng, what they are actually doing is also a good thing, you must know that if this kind of container is left on this busy shipping lane, it will be very dangerous for other ships, especially if this container is loaded with very dangerous chemicals, it may even bring a fatal threat to the ships coming and going.
The Deep Blue fishing boat sailed for almost two hours with the container in tow before arriving on the deserted island, which is far away from the shipping lane, and even if the container is really loaded with any dangerous chemicals, it will not pose any danger to other ships.
