Chapter 345: Breaking into the Storm Zone

Li Xiaofeng first found a place far away from the fairway, stopped the boat, and then he himself went down to the cabin to help, now it can be said that every second counts, and many fish are worthless if they are not processed in time. Diaphragm

After the trawl was dumped, Li Xiaoliang also directly took the crew on the deck down to help, and the trawl was not tidied up.

Even if the whole crew worked together, by the time they had actually processed all the fish caught on board, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

As the last basket of sardines was placed in the freezer, many of the crew members sat down on the sewage-covered floor as if their spine bones had been removed in an instant.

Even Li Xiaofeng, who came over later, was sweating profusely at this time, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

Although he went down to the cabin for more than two hours, he used it as one person for several people when he worked, and at one time he also took on the most labor-intensive work in the cabin.

Who made him the owner of the ship, in this case, he didn't take the lead in doing it, who took the lead, isn't there a saying called "as long as you don't die, you will do it to death".

Han Minghua also sat on the ground at this time, feeling that his two arms were as heavy as being filled with lead, and he couldn't even lift them simply, and it was sore and painful, and it was estimated that he would suffer when he slept tonight. Diaphragm

Hu Dequan and Li Xiaoliang are not much better than him, they all look as if their bodies have been hollowed out, listless, and sluggish.

"Don't sit down, the food in the restaurant has been prepared for everyone, let's go eat first to replenish a little strength, everyone in the cabin doesn't have to worry about it for the time being!"

Seeing that everyone was almost rested, Li Xiaofeng stood up and announced loudly.

Usually, after sorting the fish, they will rinse the cabin as soon as possible, otherwise once the garbage on the ground rots and deteriorates, the smell in the cabin will be very good.

But in today's situation, let's go eat something first and replenish our strength.

In the restaurant, Li Xiaofeng, Han Minghua, Hu Dequan, Li Xiaoliang and Meng Guangming were sitting around eating together.

At this time, Li Xiaoliang, who had recovered a little bit of energy, couldn't help but say excitedly: "Do you think we have 600 tons of fish caught today?" "Ahh

"Even if there are no six hundred tons, it must be more than five hundred tons, and I see that several cabins on the ship are already full!"

Meng Guangming, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile and said.

When it comes to today's harvest, who can not be satisfied?

In such a short period of time, hundreds of tons of fish can be caught, even Hu Dequan, who has many years of experience in distant-water fishing vessels, has never experienced it.

"If only we could meet such a school of fish every time we go out to sea!" Li Xiaoliang couldn't help but say.

When he said this, everyone at the table rolled their eyes at him.

After eating, everyone worked together to rinse the cabin before resting, otherwise there would be no way to enter the place by then. Diaphragm

In the blink of an eye, it had been two days since they had last encountered a school of fish, and now they were not far from Scarborough Shoal.

When Li Xiaofeng got up in the morning, he found that the sky was overcast and the wind on the sea was also very strong.

The wind carried the waves, constantly slapping on the fishing boats, and the fishing boats also continued to sway in the sea with the waves of the waves.

However, Li Xiaofeng was not surprised by this, because 24 hours ago, they received a warning of strong winds at sea. Know that in the sea area they will pass through, there will be strong winds of force seven to eight.

At that time, several people also got together to discuss it, and finally decided to take the risk of crossing the storm area directly.

There are three main reasons for this risky decision:

First, according to the weather forecast, the storm would rage for three days in the sea they were about to cross, and now they had a boatload of fish, and it was impossible to wait until the storm stopped three days later. Diaphragm

Second, they felt that although there was a certain danger in crossing the storm area, it was not very dangerous, after all, the tonnage and horsepower of their fishing boats were here, and the wind and waves of this level did not exceed the design limits of the fishing boats.

Third, while they could get around the storm zone, it would take hundreds of nautical miles and add two days to their voyage, so it would be better to wait here for the storm to pass.

It was for these reasons that the decision was unanimously made to venture across the storm zone.

And their fishing boats are not alone, and there are many boats on the world's busiest golden shipping lane, just like them, ready to go straight into the storm zone.

Among these vessels, there are huge ships of 10,000 tons and 100,000 tons that are much larger than their fishing boats, and there are also cargo ships that are smaller than their fishing boats.

There are at least one or two hundred ships sailing on this channel every day.

Now in the international shipping market, the competition for timeliness is becoming more and more fierce, and no one wants to wait until three days later to set off. Diaphragm

Therefore, all ships with a larger tonnage are ready to break into this storm area.

As for the fact that a detour of a few hundred nautical miles is even more undesirable for other ships, they are not Li Xiaofeng, and there is a detailed underwater map to refer to.

Letting these freighters sail in a completely unfamiliar sea is a lot of risk.

Li Xiaofeng is quite sure that his fishing boat will pass through the storm area safely.

In addition to the fact that the tonnage and horsepower of their fishing boats are sufficient, another reason is that their cabins are now almost full of catch, and they are in a state of heavy sailing.

It is important to know that the larger the load and the deeper the draft of the ship, the stronger the wind resistance and stability of the ship, and the safer it will be to sail in the wind and waves.

In fact, there is another reason why he is preparing to break into the storm area, that is, because of "strong winds and waves, big fish", Li Xiaofeng feels that when he passes through this stormy sea area, there may be other gains! Diaphragm

Whenever there is a typhoon or storm at sea, the waves will carry the big fish in the deep sea to the surface.

There are many fish here that usually inhabit the coral reefs on the bottom of the sea, and even if Li Xiaofeng has a map and can detect them, there is no way to use trawling to catch them!

It is only at this time that these deep-sea fish will float to the surface and have the opportunity to catch them with trawls.

After trawling the net into the sea and securing everything on the deck, all the crew withdrew to the cabin and closed the hatch.

Li Xiaofeng took another turn on the deck, and after confirming that there was no problem everywhere, he came to the cabin, personally piloted the fishing boat, and plunged headlong into the storm.

Today he is going to drive his own fishing boat and force his way into the storm zone!
