Endless sea, and lonely islands.

Lagoons, lagoons, small islands, beautiful scenery, but a little lonely.

Along the western edge of the Butari Atoll, pass a small isolated island with coconut palms......

Next to the island there is a trimaran.

The boat was parked in the reef sea of the lagoon, and two dark-skinned men on board were laying gillnets.

Chen Yuan and the others passed by the lagoon, and the people on the small boat saw it, waved their hands and shouted loudly......

Chen Yuan was standing by the boat, but he couldn't understand what they were saying, so he ignored it.

This is supposed to sell them the catch.

Butari Atoll is technically a lagoon.

However, it must have been an atoll before, but it was severely eroded by the sea. The lagoon is shallow and has a lot of fish, as well as lobsters and crabs.

Nowadays, fishing boats are not particularly far from Butari Island, and local fishermen will sell some goods and catch to nearby fishing boats.

Da Bai ran over quickly.

Twin-engine cruising, calm today, sporty Dabai, very stable.

Chen Yuan returned to the cabin, and in the living room, opened his laptop to continue studying the ocean currents in the Gilbert Islands.

Dabai's boat is good at everything, but it has high fuel consumption.

High-speed cruising at 44 knots, fuel consumption per nautical mile is 6.8 liters...... Fuel consumption for an hour, almost 300 liters.

Twin-engine economy cruise, the most fuel-efficient mode, speed 27 knots, fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per nautical mile...... Fuel consumption for an hour, almost 150 liters.

The main fuel tank is 7000 liters, and the economy cruise can be used for about 46 hours.

Well......

How to say it.

Actually, this fuel consumption is okay.

Until now, Chen Yuan is very satisfied with the boat Dabai. In the same class of yachts, the big white yacht can be regarded as very economical.

For high-speed yachts, fuel consumption is not low.

The fuel tank capacity of Dabai is large enough, and then the fuel tank capacity is counted, and the fuel tank is filled with ...... Can work for days.

All the way south, after not being able to see the fishing boats on the sea, Chen Yuan marked a few points.

In the evening, Chen Yuan and the others came to the No. 1 point, released the drone to quickly reconnoitre, and then went to the No. 2 point......

The density of the fish is good, but the number of tuna is too small.

The sun was about to set, and Zhou Sheng stopped the boat and prepared for last night.

Today, there are only Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng on the ship, and Yang Xun is working on the Big Fish.

"What do you want to eat at night?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"Whatever."

"If you want to say whatever, then I'll cook instant noodles."

"There is pork belly in the crisper, thawed and made into a pot meat." Chen Yuandao.

Zhou Sheng took out the pork: "What do you use to return to the pot?" ”

"Potato chips, onions, you can do it." Chen Yuan continued to study the current map.

"You've been studying the current map for a day, and you still haven't figured it out?"

"Luo Hao gave me two maps of ocean currents. One is from twenty days ago, and the other is recent. The two current maps are different, and I'm looking for patterns. Chen Yuan said.

"Did you find a pattern?"

"Some have a pattern, some don't."

The latest current map is only for the north of the Gilbert Islands, not for the south.

At this time, there were no fishing boats in the south, or there were very few fishing boats in the south. Some of the currents move regularly, and some don't.

Zhou Sheng went to cook.

Chen Yuan looked at these complex ocean current diagrams and buckled his brain.

"Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng." Luo Laosi's voice came from the radio.

Chen Yuan went back to the cockpit and turned on the microphone: "Yes." ”

"Where have you been?"

Chen Yuan opened the chart: "North of Tapiwa Island, 35 nautical miles. ”

"We're still far away, and we don't think we'll be able to come and meet you until twelve o'clock in the evening."

"Don't worry, I haven't found a better location yet." Chen Yuan said.

Luo Laosi said 'um' and said, "We're not in a hurry, and we even want to go to the island to repair it." ”

"I was kidding." Gao He said: "There are not many days left in the fishing season, so we should hurry up and catch fish during this time. Wait until the fishing season is over, and then play. ”

Luo Laosi smiled: "I'm also joking." During this time, let's pay attention and make more money. ”

"Where do you go when the fishing season is over?" Takaga asked.

"Chen Yuan, they are going to Fiji."

Chen Yuandao: "Fiji." ”

"Then let's go together." Takaga said.

"Aren't you going to go back with the fishing boat?"

"Go play for a while, and then go back to China. Anyway, it's not in a hurry......"

It's okay in the evening, everyone just chats on the radio.

After eating, it was late at night.

Chen Yuan was outside blowing the sea breeze and drinking beer.

Zhou Sheng called in the back for a while, and came over to lie next to Chen Yuan: "Uncle." ”

"What?" Chen Yuan looked over.

"I just thought about life for a while." Zhou Shengdao.

"What?" Chen Yuan turned his head: "I thought about it...... A moment of life?

"Hmm." Zhou Sheng nodded.

"Life is something you can think about?" Chen Yuan's face was full of contempt.

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "If I get married in the future, seriously, I don't want to sail away." The wife and children are hot on the kang, how good this life is. ”

Chen Yuan shrugged, who wouldn't envy that kind of life.

"Later, later. Do a good job of the ...... in front of you first" Chen Yuan said: "Work hard for a few years, and when you earn enough money later, you will retire." ”

"How much is enough?"

"This ...... Deposit over 100 million. When you have money, you can live the life you yearn for. Chen Yuan said.

"That makes sense. The rest is not related, save 100 million first. Zhou Sheng smiled and handed the satellite phone to Chen Yuan: "Don't call." ”

"I'll fight later." Chen Yuan smiled and took his phone and looked at the sky.

Tonight is a crescent moon, and the stars are especially abundant and bright.

Looking at the stars, Chen Yuanyou glanced at Zhou Sheng, this guy actually knows how to think about life? Unbelievable, unbelievable.

"What do you see me doing?" Zhou Sheng also looked at Chen Yuan.

"I think you're handsome."

"Heh, I'm already handsome......"

"Stupid."

"I'm ...... grass" Zhou Sheng turned over and pressed over.

Chen Yuan's strength is much greater than Zhou Sheng's. If it weren't for the accident in Antarctica, Chen Yuan would not have been able to do Zhou Sheng, but now ......

Chen Yuan easily pressed Zhou Sheng down and pinched it.

"I'll go, why do you have so much strength."

Chen Yuan let go of Zhou Sheng: "You say, what did we encounter in the accident in the Antarctic waters." ”

"How do I know?" Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan: "I saw you at that time, you were glowing, fluorescent...... I guess the reason why I mutated should be the reason why I hugged you at that time. ”

Chen Yuan still remembered the light he saw before he fell unconscious on the bottom of the sea, but he didn't know what that thing was. Just before he fell unconscious, the light seemed to enter his body.

It's been more than a year, and I don't understand.

It wasn't early, Zhou Sheng got up: "I'll go back to sleep, you guard the master and they come over." ”

"Okay."

After waiting for Zhou Sheng to go back, Chen Yuan took out the phone and called Yan Xiaoxi.

Every day, as long as he is not particularly busy, Chen Yuan will call Yan Xiaoxi. Sometimes, Yan Xiaoxi would also call Chen Yuan......

"What are you doing?" Yan Xiaoxi said.

"Look at the stars." Chen Yuan said: "The night sky here is exceptionally clear and beautiful. ”

"I'll watch it with you when I get over." Yan Xiaoxi said, and then He Huan's business came: "Hey, I want to see it too, what should I do." ”

"Let's go see it together, threesome."

"If you don't mind, I don't mind...... Your boyfriend is so handsome, I don't suffer. ”

Another unfamiliar voice: "Does Xiaoxi's boyfriend have Wang Jianshuai?" ”

"Not a grade ......"

"Do you want to add another one, foursome?"

", you ......," Yan Xiaoxi roared.

Chen Yuan touched his forehead with one hand, and the corners of his mouth smiled: "What are you doing?" ”

"Just came out of the library and was getting ready to go home. By the way, my dad bought some grouper from your company before, and he told me that the price was very cheap, let me ask if it was a wholesale price? ”

"How much is 1 catty?"

"It's only 45 yuan a catty. Wang Peng told my dad the wholesale price, but my dad's people went to other places to ask, and they were all more expensive. ”

This price must be an internal friendship price.

"This should be the wholesale price at the port. For those of us who come back from the ocean, the price of fish is cheaper than that of inshore fish. After all, these fish are frozen......" Chen Yuan said: "You ask Uncle if you want lobsters, the lobsters here are also very cheap." I can help get some back if needed. ”

"What lobster?"

"Splendid lobster, that is, flower lobster. There are also rock lobsters...... Alive, frozen, both. Chen Yuan said: "The price is much cheaper." ”

"Okay, I'll ask."

Kiribati has an airport, and the tuna caught is occasionally airlifted back.

There are quite a few Chinese fishing vessels fishing in Kiribati, mainly longliners. If you need lobster, you can take it back by air, at least one-third cheaper than in China.

Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaoxi chatted for a long time, hung up the phone, Chen Yuan stretched his waist, and saw a light appear on the sea, and the boat should be the Big Fish.
