However, Chu Mingcheng didn't let Noah know about his dislike of five tons, and if he knew, he would definitely scold him for being greedy.

The king crab is only available in Australia, and the annual output is very rare, only tens or hundreds of tons, which is completely different from the king crab that is tens of thousands of tons at every turn.

Therefore, his share of five tons is already very much.

You must know that under normal circumstances, there are 25 companies in Australia to grab the share of tens or hundreds of tons.

Noah suddenly thought of a big thing: "OH NO! Cheng, I'm sorry I didn't rent a crab boat for you, but there is also a crane on this fishing boat, so we can still pull it up if we buy some smaller crab pots. If you don't think so, then I'll help you rent a crab boat? ”

Fishing for king crabs is the same as catching king crabs, you throw a large crab pot into the water, and then wait for a while before the crab pot is put away.

How much you gain depends purely on whether you find a good position.

And to pull the crab pot up, you need to use a winch, Noah thought that his friend's boat rent was cheap, and Chu Mingcheng himself said that he wanted a fishing boat, so he didn't think about it so much, and he only noticed this problem when he wanted to buy a crab pot.

"No, this boat is very good, I have a lot of strength, and I can pull the crab pot up with the crane." Chu Mingcheng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

The crab pot is a little smaller, and his current strength will not be difficult to pull up with the crane.

Noah sighed again: "Alas, even if the crab pot is small, we may need to spend more time and money." ”

"It's okay, I have a way to catch the king crab quickly." Chu Mingcheng is naturally referring to his own diving ability.

When he was in China, he tried to dive at a depth of 200 meters and stayed underwater for more than an hour.

Normal scuba divers still have to slowly adapt to the water pressure when they return to the surface, Chu Mingcheng doesn't need it at all, he can resist most of the water pressure by swimming freely, so that he can swim to the surface quickly.

With the current weather, most of the king crabs will survive in waters about 120 meters deep, which is not a problem for him at all.

It is nothing more than to come up slower, so that the king crab has a process of adapting to the water pressure.

With the crab pots, it is believed that the five-ton quota will be filled soon.

Therefore, he did not need to spend extra money to change a crab fishing boat, which would make him feel that the rent would be very uneconomical.

After Chu Mingcheng personally handled the fishing license and got the share of the emperor crab, Noah felt that he was a very energetic person.

Therefore, the other party refused to change the ship, although he was a little strange, but he would not ask the end.

After resting in Melbourne enough, after getting the fishing license and the king crab share, Chu Mingcheng asked Noah to drive them to the dock that night.

The boat Noah rented was a second-class fishing boat, which was completely capable of surfing around the Bass Strait, as long as it did not encounter windy weather.

However, there is no need to worry about special bad weather, and the local weather station will also broadcast in advance to let all ships at sea dock.

The ship is sixteen meters long, with three rooms and a large bunk.

Fortunately, there was a captain's bedroom, and Jiang Luoluo spread the newly bought quilt sheets, and the two of them slept here at night.

The ship's fuel tank is 2,000 liters, the endurance is about 40 hours, the maximum speed is 20 knots, and the economic speed is 15 knots.

There was a seawater desalination machine on the ship, so Chu Mingcheng bought a few barrels of mineral water to eat and drink when he went to sea this time, and prepared food for three days by the way.

When he got on the boat, he looked at the fuel tank, which only contained about 300 liters of oil, so he had to call a tanker to come and fill up the ship.

Melbourne oil prices have skyrocketed this year and are currently at $2.07 per litre, which is much more outrageous than in China.

Adding oil directly cost Chu Mingcheng more than 3,400 Australian dollars.

There were also ten crab pots, which cost him two thousand Australian dollars.

The original exchange of 50,000 Australian dollars is now only 13,000.

At this moment, he misses the domestic diesel ship very much, this kind of gasoline ship, the cost of going to sea is too high.

Waving goodbye to Noah, Chu Mingcheng started the fishing boat, warmed up the engine and set off.

Holding the map of the distribution area of the king crab given by the fishery administration, he confirmed it on the navigation and chose the closest place to Melbourne.

If there were more king crabs in this water, then he wouldn't need to run farther.

Unlike fish, king crabs cannot be found with fish finders, they hide in crevices in rocks, as motionless as stones.

At present, whether the most advanced fish finder can detect them Chu Mingcheng does not know, and he has not used it, but the fish finder of this ship cannot be detected.

Therefore, he could only find the distribution map given by the fishery administration and dive to check the situation.

Fortunately, the fresh water for bathing on the boat only works, and there is no need to pay attention to the fresh water in the tank like Chu Mingcheng's own boat.

If the boat runs out of fresh water after diving too much, it will not be able to take a bath.

After more than four hours, the fishing boat reached its destination.

The closest distribution area of the king crab on the map is just over 60 nautical miles from Melbourne.

It was now more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was still early, Chu Mingcheng asked Jiang Luoluo to stay in the wheelhouse, and he first launched the ten small crab pots on the boat.

A crab pot can catch about fifty catties of king crabs, and the crab pot itself is also eighty catties, but fortunately, he is strong enough now, and there is no problem with the small crane on the ship to pull it up.

Then he changed into a wetsuit and prepared to go into the water to see what was going on.

Judging from the fish finder, the water depth here is more than 130 meters, and there should be king crabs.

The fact that Chu Mingcheng could dive two hundred meters, Jiang Luoluo naturally didn't know.

She thought he was going to catch lobsters in some nearby waters, so she deliberately sailed close to the water area with a depth of only more than 30 meters.

Chu Mingcheng didn't stop her from driving the boat, and he didn't plan to tell her about being able to dive into the deep sea.

Because the world record for free diving is only 120 meters deep, it is better for him to dive 200 meters.

Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng immediately plunged into the water and swam towards the position of the crab pot.

On the fish finder, there was immediately a thick red line.

It's just that Jiang Luoluo was watching a TV series with a tablet, and he didn't notice this at all.

She was now very relieved about Chu Mingcheng's freediving ability, so she rarely kept staring at it like before.

But after a while, she'll take a look.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng also had to pay attention to the time, and he couldn't stay underwater for too long.

The flashlight shone into the water, and it was pitch black, and only the sound of water could be heard in the ears.

If people with deep-sea phobia are here, they may be scared.

But Chu Mingcheng was used to it, and he could distinguish his position very well, and found the rope of the crab pot.

Then he made a quick dive along the rope, and in just two minutes, he was at the bottom of the water.

The sediment and reef at the bottom of the water are distributed, Chu Mingcheng swam around the crab pot, and was pleasantly surprised to find a very large king crab crawling on the sand.

Only more than five catties of king crabs have the value of fishing, and those that are too small are also not allowed to be fished.

And this emperor crab has more than a dozen catties at a glance, and the crab legs are as big as a basin.

Sensing his arrival, the emperor crab immediately slowly raised the large pincers on its right, as if to intimidate him.

The pincers of the king crab are one large and one small, and this large pincer is as thick as his current arm.

But it moves slowly, and gets up as slowly as the old man.

Chu Mingcheng immediately swam to the back of it, stretched out his hands and grabbed its back shell, and then swam towards the crab pot.

When he came to the crab pot, he found that the bait in the crab pot had attracted some deep-sea fish, and when he came, the fish immediately scattered and ran away.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care about these fish, he opened the door of the crab pot, picked up the emperor crab placed on the sand again, stuffed it in and closed it.

This is the function of the crab pot, which makes it easy for him to dive and catch king crabs.

If you have to swim back to the surface every time you catch an emperor crab, it is not only tiring, but also time-consuming.

successfully started at least 500 Australian dollars, and Chu Mingcheng's motivation also came.

He continued to swim into the distance, looking for the king crab.

After a while, he found a king crab again on the sand, but unfortunately it was only a little small, and the shell on its back looked like a large plate.

I don't know if it weighs five pounds, Chu Mingcheng grabbed him with one hand, didn't go back, and continued to look for him.

Then, under a rock, he found a king crab about the size of his hand.

This is only a little bit difficult to grasp, and Chu Mingcheng can't sneak attack from behind it.

Looking at the emperor crab in his hand, his eyes lit up.

Putting down the king crab in his hand, he grabbed the crab's two pincers with both hands, and then he put the big pincers into the rock crevice and let the king crab inside clamp it.

The emperor crab inside was immediately aroused to ferocity, and the two pincers clamped randomly.

Soon, the emperor crab inside clamped the king crab tongs that Chu Mingcheng had reached into, and at the same time, the emperor crab in his hand also tightened his pincers and clamped each other.

He took this opportunity and immediately pulled out the emperor crab inside, and then grabbed an emperor crab with both hands and went back.

When Chu Mingcheng returned to the location of the first crab pot, he unexpectedly found that there was an emperor crab attracted by the bait outside the crab pot.

This one is even bigger than the king crab in the crab pot, estimated to weigh more than fifteen catties.

It wanted to eat the bait, but unfortunately it couldn't find the right entrance, and it was in a hurry to crawl around outside.

When Chu Mingcheng came over, it was immediately frightened, and quickly raised its pliers and began to retreat.

He didn't immediately catch the king crab, but first put the two in his hand into the crab pot, and then went over to catch the king crab that was slow to escape and stuffed it into the crab pot.

The crab pot is a bit small, and after this king crab is stuffed in, several king crabs in the crab pot are all crowded together, and there is no room for movement at all.

These four emperor crabs add up to almost forty catties, and they can still stuff two small ones in the corner, but Chu Mingcheng didn't pay attention to this crab pot anymore, but came to the location of the second crab pot.

The distance between each crab pot was almost twenty meters, and Chu Mingcheng searched for a while before finding it.

The appearance of this crab pot made him a little helpless, and it just fell on a somewhat round reef, and then slipped down and stood on the sand, causing the entrance to be crushed underneath, and several other entrance crabs could not get in.

If he hadn't come, even if there were more emperor crabs outside this crab pot, he would have to have the air force.

He set up the crab pot first, and then went to look for the king crab.

The next moment, he spat out a few bubbles in his mouth, and if there was someone nearby, he could hear him saying "it".

Because he had an oversized king crab in front of him, the size of a bathtub.

Although he didn't break the record of 72 pounds, he definitely weighed more than forty pounds, which was the result of his conservative estimate.

Chu Mingcheng immediately swam over and lifted the emperor crab.

It was a little heavy to start with, because he was not sure of the specific weight at the bottom of the water, so he carried the emperor crab and began to swim slowly to the surface.

With such a big king crab, you can't put it in the crab pot.
