Chapter 219: Searching for Fish
"Alas, Husley, look, there are a lot of fish ahead. ”
Kaichi of the captain's room shouted in front of the sonar.
The two groups of people have already discussed the route and returned to their posts, but now they have not encountered anything, although they say that they have to concentrate, but they are inevitably distracted.
Jia Yi didn't find any large magical beasts, but found a group of fish, and it was a group of big fish, and he couldn't help but call the rest of the people.
"What's the matter? What fish?" Hearing Jiayi's voice, not only Husley came in, but also March, who had nothing to do.
There is nothing to do now, and there is no danger, except for the rotation of 4 people each time to maintain the paddle wheel power of the bilge, the rest of the people are a little idle, and now they all ran over when they heard Jiayi's shout.
Although Jiayi has always had to monitor sonar, it is better to use the bottom of the boat as a humanoid battery.
March took the lead and ran to the sonar workbench.
Jia Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the three-dimensional image in front of him, and said, "Look, it's right here." ”
March probed over and followed Jiayi's finger to examine it carefully, only to find a group of black dots the size of sesame seeds, swimming in the distance, looking like a group of small fish fry gathered together.
Jieliya stretched out her hand and said, "This is too small, how can you tell it's a fish?"
"It's just small. After speaking, Jia Yi stretched out his hand and pointed, and the group of black dots the size of sesame seeds enlarged and became the size of melon seeds, but the name could not be seen what it was, and the shadow was very blurry.
After all, sonar is not an image, it can't be too specific, if it is closer and the object is larger, it can be shown more clearly, and a school of fish is still far away, it cannot be shown too clearly. In particular, in order to detect a longer distance, the sonar on the ship spends more effort on the distance, and the requirements for fineness are not high.
The rest of the people looked at Kaichi, and March asked, "How can this be sure that there are fish? ”
"Of course, by the speed of movement, the trajectory of movement, the size of the object, and the physical characteristics, what else can such a long strip swimming in the water be besides a fish? Is it a turtle? ”
Although the distance is too far to restore the exact shape according to the returned ripples, the basic physical characteristics can still be reproduced, and Jiayi judges what it is based on these.
This is also thanks to Jiayi's good math learning, and he is more familiar with sonar, and he is more familiar with the sonar waveforms fed back by some objects, otherwise he would not be able to judge it so quickly and be so sure.
"Just look at it, guess what you're doing here. Husley said, and then he stepped out of the hatch and said to the sailors on deck, "Turn 5 degrees to the left, and we'll go ahead." ”
With that, he reached out and put a little on the badge on his chest and said, "Pasebai, I'm going to look to the left." ”
This badge is not a mage badge, it is a badge issued by the academy for this operation, which can be used for short-distance communication, but the distance is not too far, and I am afraid it is not as good as a walkie-talkie.
When Pasebai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything?"
"No, Jia Yi said that he found a school of fish, let's deflect it and take a look, and by the way, see if we can add food. Husley replied.
"Okay, what's the discovery. ”
After Paser had finished speaking, he came to his sonar detector and said to Lana, who was in front of the sonar, "Just Shosley, they came and said that they had found a school of fish, did we find it?"
"Fish?" Lana turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Did you find it on sonar?"
"Of course, it can't be seen with the naked eye. Didn't you notice anything?" said Pashai's tone in a somewhat unpleasant tone, drawing his eyes and those of the people to him.
One of them walked up to them, looked at the phantom in the sonar in front of them, and said, "Where are the fish here, there is nothing." ”
He also saw that Passerby's tone was wrong, so he came over to ease the atmosphere, and when Passerbai heard him say this, he also looked at the image in front of him, and he really couldn't see where there were fish, so he didn't speak again.
Lana thought for a moment and said, "I'll take another look, search and see." ”
She narrowed the field of view and enlarged the objects in it, although this could make it easier to see, but the field of view was smaller, which was not a wise choice for the exploration of the monster they were going to now.
She zoomed in on everything in the range, and it wasn't clear, but it at least looked more intuitive.
It didn't take long for Lana to point to a group of melon-seed-like swimming things in front of her, and said, "Wouldn't this be the fish they were talking about?"
At this time, although it was a little closer, it was still not clear to see, even if Lana zoomed in, it was just like melon seeds. I can't tell it's a fish, but if you look closely, it looks like a fish tail, but it's not very clear.
Lana shrunk the so-called fish back to their normal multiples, and the swarm, in sonar imagery, became the size of a sesame seed.
"You really can't blame Lana for that. Someone said, "No one is telling anyone to pay attention to this bunch of sesame seeds." ”
Passerbai also smiled apologetically at Lana, it was indeed difficult to find, but he was also curious about how the people on the other boat found out, it couldn't be like Lana, searching inch by inch, it was too much energy.
Pasbai's boat did not change course, and although the direction of Kaichi's boat was somewhat adjusted, the angle was not large, and by the time Kaichi found the group of fish, the distance between the two boats had increased by less than 300 meters.
At this time, the sonar image has become very clear, and it is possible to construct the appearance of the fish in the water relatively clearly. This is a school of fish that is not small, and the head looks very large according to the proportions of the body, and the size is not small, but I don't know how it tastes.
"Found it, right down here. Jia said in one mouth.
Perhaps because of the sound of the boat coming over and breaking through the water, the fish sank a lot and ran out for a short distance, but not far.
Husley came to the deck and asked the captain, "There's a big school of fish down here, is there anything to catch on board?"
The captain thought for a moment and said, "There is a small net on the ship that can be used, just to improve the food by fishing." ”
"Okay, you go and take a look at the net, Jiayi, where is the fish now?"
"I'll take a look. Kaichi carefully calculated the corresponding distance according to the scale in the sonar, "20 yards to the right, the boat slowly approached. ”
Jiayi's voice came, and the captain immediately commanded the ship to slowly approach, and even the paddle wheel stopped, relying only on the wind.
"It's here. Before he was twenty yards, Kaichi hurriedly said, "They're coming." ”
"Okay, let's go!" the captain shouted, and the net was immediately thrown down.
The captain grew up near the water since he was a child, but he didn't know how to eat fish, let alone fish, and he was skilled in casting nets and fishing. As soon as the captain stretched out his hand, the net turned into a regular circle and immediately fell into the water with a crisp and neat "boom".
In the sonar display, you can clearly see that the fishing net represents a layer of light yarn-like things falling, although many fish run away, but also a group of fish are surrounded, in the fishing net is very rushed, but can not run away.
