Chen Yuan woke up, his body was still very uncomfortable, but he was already able to turn over and get up and walk slowly.

Fu'an 79 has found the last fish collector, has completed the encirclement, and the bottom gang has been pulled out of the water.

At the stern of the boat, Gao He was directing the net, and when he saw Chen Yuan coming, he said, "How are you doing?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "I have recovered some spirits. ”

"Sickness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. Slowly raise ......"

Chen Yuan shrugged and glanced at the side of the ship. Just before the start of the net ring, it was still too early to catch the fish, so I went up the stairs to the cockpit.

Zhou Jianguo slept on the table behind him.

Chen Hao was in the lookout area, holding a telescope, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Brother." Chen Yuan heard footsteps and turned his head.

"Ugh."

"Come and take a look, there seems to be a small boat ahead." Chen Hao said.

Chen Yuan walked over slowly, and saw a small boat on the sea in the distance. There were people on the dinghy, and a small sail......

Chen Yuan took the binoculars, looked at it, and said, "There is a small boat, and there are three people on the boat." ”

"Could it be pirates?"

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes: "Who would be a pirate in this place." ”

In the past, Chen Yuan had encountered pirates in the Indian Ocean, and they found it early, and their ship was fast enough to run away in advance.

But in the South Pacific, the closest populated area to this location is the McMurdo Research Station. And then there's Chile...... It's all thousands of nautical miles.

"Is it a drifting boat?" Chen Hao said.

"It should be." Chen Yuan pointed at Gao He: "Call him." ”

Chen Hao trotted over and patted Gao He on the shoulder: "Gao He, there is a boat on the sea." ”

Gao He suddenly came to his senses and rubbed his eyes: "What ship?" ”

"A drifting boat, I guess it has encountered some kind of accident." Chen Yuan said.

Gao He hurriedly walked over and took the telescope from Chen Yuan's hand.

It was a small runabout, and it was still far away. With Takaga's eyesight, he could only vaguely see the boat: "Is there someone on board?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you want to save them?" Takaga asked.

"Which country do you think is the most likely country for the people on the boat?" Chen Yuan asked.

The current belt of the South Pacific, to be precise, is the westerly drift belt......

There are very few boats on this route, and often not a single boat is seen for a month. If you don't have a power rafting, it's probably New Zealand or Australia. Boats from other places can't get through.

And even a small boat in New Zealand, unpowered, with only a small sail on it......

In this way, the ship was adrift at sea for at least twenty days. There is a high probability that it is more than 30 days.

This location though is in the westerly drifting zone, to the south. If the people on the boat want to play the feat of boating across the ocean, then ...... They yawed.

If it is not rescued, the people in the small boat are probably hanging.

"Probably New Zealanders. If it's an Australian, let's call the police for them. Takaga said.

The year before last, Chen Yuan rescued several Australian fishermen from fishing on the high seas in eastern Australia, but after contacting their coast guard, not only was they grateful, but for a long time after that, Fu'an 79 was also monitored by Australian coast guard ships. It's very ......

Gao He rolled his eyes: "I'll just kidding." If it's Australian, we have to charge a fee. ”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "That's a must." ”

In fact, no matter what, if you see a similar situation, on the premise of ensuring your own safety, you can save it, then you must be saved.

Ignore the boat in front of you for now.

Fu'an 79 continues to start the net......

The boat on the surface of the sea is very slow, very slow.

Chen Hao had been observing the boat, and a few hours later, the people on the small boat also spotted Chen Yuan's big boat, adjusted the sail angle, and came over to them. There was also black smoke on the ship, and I don't know what was burning.

It wasn't very far away, and Takaga left the wheelhouse and approached the boat with two sailors in an auxiliary boat. Chen Yuan saw clearly that there were four people on the boat. Takaga talked to them for a few minutes before throwing out the rope and dragging them back.

One of the four people on board was very weak and was hoisted onto the ship and taken to the infirmary. The other three were tanned like boiled lobsters, with peeling skin on their faces, shoulders, and hands.

The four are New Zealanders, three are white, and one is of Chinese descent. They were both in their twenties......

Chen Yuan glanced over at them, and someone brought them water and food. One of the white men was carried to the infirmary, leaving two whites and one Chinese, gulping down water, and seeing that their lips were white and cracked, they were thirsty.

After a long time at sea, anything can be encountered.

"How did you end up here?" Chen Yuan watched them eat, followed them to the infirmary, and asked in English, which was not particularly proficient.

"We went fishing, and the speedboat lost power...... "The Chinese man, who does not speak Mandarin and speaks English in a straight voice, explained the ins and outs of the matter.

They were in a speedboat, more than nine meters long, going out to sea to fish for tuna.

A few of them were not professional anglers, nor did they have professional equipment, they were just ordinary speedboats, and there were no charts on board, only one fish scout. There is also a compass for the auxiliary equipment......

But I don't know why, when they were about to go back, the compass couldn't be found. Then both engines of the ship broke down at the same time.

It can only be said that there is such a catastrophe in life.

After Dr. Liu examined them, Chen Yuan gave them satellite phones and asked them to call their families to report their safety.

It's been 35 days, and their families have called the police. And for such a long time, their families thought they had ...... At this time, when he received a call, Chen Yuan heard the crying on the phone.

In the evening, Takaga came and arranged a separate room for them and told them not to wander around.

Takaga had wanted to go down the river to Chile and Peru to their fishing grounds, and this route would allow them to harvest some catch at sea. If you receive enough fish, you can return to your home country.

Takaga got on board at the beginning of the year and wanted to go back.

Zhou Jianguo came to the ship last year, and he was even more homesick.

Now go back and fix it for a while, and come out again in the next year.

But because they saved a few people, they had to go against the current to New Zealand and then go north.

It may be the reason for saving people, which is the accumulation of great virtue. The day after they returned home with the last fish collector, they found a school of bluefin tuna, more than 400 meters under the sea.

The schools of fish are heading west, in one direction with them.

It's a rare school of big fish.

Takaga hurriedly lowered the auxiliary boat and let the auxiliary boat run ahead of the tuna, using the sound to lure the fish to the surface.

Large tuna are used to being in deep water, and if there is no food on the surface, the tuna will hunt on the bottom of the sea and will not rise. But by some means, such as creating some noise on the surface, the tuna thinks that there are a lot of small fish in the upper waters, and this is the case...... The tuna will float up.

After another day, the tuna fish finally rose to more than 100 meters above the surface.

Fu'an 79 also came to the position, lowered the other auxiliary boat, and began to lower the net.

There are more than 300 bluefin tuna in this net, and the smallest ones are more than 150 catties.

A net of 100 tons, hundreds of tons of tuna, mostly yellowfin tuna, albacore. For example, yellowfin tuna, a net of hundreds of tons, so many are individuals under 70 catties. There are very few large tuna, otherwise the large tuna would not be so expensive.

This net, despite the fact that there are not many fish, may be worth more than 10 million yuan.
