Chapter 284: Legs are four meters long
After returning to the boat, Chu Mingcheng drove the boat out of this water.
It took him about half an hour to come to a body of water at a depth of two hundred meters.
Basically, most tuna don't dive very deep, and between 100 and 200 meters are the most active water columns.
Chu Mingcheng did not stop immediately, but first put down the crab pots and shrimp pots on the boat, and then found a suitable position according to the fish finder.
Inform Chen Yang, who was following him, and ask him to put all the fish trap lights on the boat into the water with him, hoping to attract tuna over.
After all the fish trap lights were put down, Chu Mingcheng did not go back to the cab to observe the fish detector, waiting for the big fish to come.
Instead, I went to the foredeck to see what was going on with the ambergris after all these days.
As a result, he found that the ambergris had changed quite a lot.
Originally, this thing was like a wax block, with a smooth surface and an unpleasant fishy smell.
Now you can barely smell it, except on your nostrils.
The smooth areas have become very rough and look more like a stone, except that they can still float.
It was a cloudy day, the molecules were not changing fast enough, and the sea water in the box had been soaked for several days, so he fished out all the ambergris and put it on the deck to dry.
The seawater in the box was replaced, and after the ambergris dried, he looked at the follow-up situation and decided whether to continue soaking.
After washing his hands, Chu Mingcheng returned to the cab, chatted with Chen Yang and Zhang Wei, and waited for the big fish to come over by the way.
After an hour, there was no sign of the tuna, but a school of unknown fish came and wandered under the water.
Fishermen, if you have fish, you can catch it, and you don't have to wait for tuna.
So they didn't wait, they each came out with their rods, installed them at the stern of the boat, and began to fish for deep-sea fish.
He just threw the hook bait into the water when he heard the sound of the thruster, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Chen Yang and Zhang Wei coming in a rubber boat.
The two of them brought up their fishing tackle, as well as two large fish boxes.
The rubber boat is tied to the Poseidon with a rope to prevent it from being swept away by the waves.
Chu Mingcheng was stunned: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Of course, I'm afraid that you will be lonely, so go fishing together!" Zhang Wei held the fishing rod and smiled.
looked at Chen Yang, who seemed to mean the same thing, Chu Mingcheng immediately rolled his eyes: "Go, go, I need you two big men to accompany me?" ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and of course sent a video connection to Jiang Luoluo.
Soon, a beautiful face appeared on the mobile phone screen, and he smiled skillfully: "Ah Cheng, you rested so early today?" ”
"No, I'm still fishing, I just miss you, I want to talk to you!" Chu Mingcheng glanced at the stunned two and said proudly.
"I miss you too, but you wait a little longer, I'll go over to accompany you when I'm done here." Jiang Luoluo didn't know that there were two men next to him who were shocked by Chu Mingcheng's operation, so his voice was much softer than normal when he spoke.
Chen Yang: "This is a real dog!" ”
Zhang Wei: "Isn't it, I lived to be thirty years old to meet this kind of slut!" ”
"Hey, Ah Cheng, is there anyone next to you?" The voices of the two talking were heard by Jiang Luoluo and caught her attention.
Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "No one, but there are two dogs." ”
"Dogs?" Jiang Luoluo was even more strange, "Aren't you at sea, where did you come from?" No, what I heard was talking. ”
Chu Mingcheng nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, it's two single dogs who can talk!" ”
"Uh, Ah Wei and Ah Yang!" Jiang Luoluo immediately reacted and smiled.
Zhang Wei couldn't bear it anymore: "him? ”
Chen Yang rolled up his sleeves: "Fight!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a strong force came from behind him, and he was immediately pushed and staggered and came to Chu Mingcheng.
Chen Yang's pupils were shocked, he looked at Chu Mingcheng with ill intentions in his eyes, and then turned his head sadly and angrily: "You have betrayed the friendship between us." ”
Zhang Wei said confidently: "I can't do anything, I admit defeat, it's you who have to fight." ”
"It's so cheap!" Chu Mingcheng sighed.
Chen Yang was cold, these two goods are too doggy, he can't play with an honest person!
Because Chu Mingcheng's mobile phone was facing the scene, Jiang Luoluo on the other end was amused by this sudden "sketch" and laughed out loud.
The laughter brought the three of them back to their senses.
Chu Mingcheng coughed lightly twice and said, "Daughter-in-law, be reserved, both of them heard it." ”
Jiang Luoluo finally stopped laughing and said, "Then for the sake of my image, why don't you kill people and destroy your mouth, and then destroy your corpses?" ”
"No, you should be on the sea, then you don't need to destroy the corpses, just throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
Chu Mingcheng was stunned, and then nodded: "Makes sense!" ”
"Makes sense, your sister!" Chen Yang immediately drew three fingers at Jiang Luoluobi, "Sister-in-law, when you come to the magic capital, I will invite you three times!" ”
"Okay, that's your life's money!" Jiang Luoluo raised his chin, satisfied with his realization.
Afterwards, several people looked at Zhang Wei.
He was "shaken" by the sight, gritted his teeth, and immediately grabbed the fish-killing knife in the toolbox.
Chu Mingcheng frowned: "You still dare to resist?" You think you have a chance of winning with a knife? As he spoke, he pulled out a stick out of nowhere.
Zhang Wei shook his head: "No, I've been poor recently, so it's okay to make an apology?" ”
"Poofhahaha" Jiang Luoluo couldn't hold back, she was sitting on the sofa and laughing crookedly, "You guys are really funny, why don't you go to the Spring Festival Gala performance sketch in the future!" How can you be interesting to the current Spring Festival Gala. ”
Zhang Wei put the fish killing knife back with a smile: "Last year's Spring Festival Gala was still very good, and the mellow PP was all in front of the TV." ”
Everyone: "."
After chatting a few more words, Jiang Luoluo hung up the video and no longer affected a few people fishing.
The three of them each fished in three directions, without affecting each other.
Soon after the hook bait was put down, there was movement, but Zhang Wei's luck was better today, and the first fish was hit first by his side.
He hurriedly pressed the button, and the fishing line was quickly retracted.
"I don't think the fish is very big, and the line is a little fast."
In just two minutes, the fish at the bottom of the water were pulled up.
Zhang Wei saw that the fish was indeed not big, and the fish pulled up from the deep sea had lost much vitality, so he grabbed the fishing line directly with both hands and pulled it up.
The back of this fish is red to purple, but the belly of the fish is pink, and its appearance is plain and looks a bit like a silver carp, but the body is much more slender.
Zhang Wei's fishing is about three or four catties, although it is not big, but it is not small.
Chu Mingcheng came over and looked at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a purple sea bream, the price is good, the market price can be sold for fifty or sixty-one catties." ”
"Only fifty or sixty-one pounds?" Hearing that the price was good, Zhang Wei was quite looking forward to it, but the price was only fifty or sixty, and his face suddenly pulled his hips.
"Isn't it floating, fifty or sixty still disgusted?" Chu Mingcheng immediately patted the back of his head and scolded with a smile.
Chen Yang replied next to him: "It is estimated that I have seen too much high-priced fish, and this kind of dozens of dollars a pound is very cheap." ”
Zhang Wei nodded: "I have seen too many precious fish, which is a little affected." ”
"The price of this fish is really not that high, but the meat quality is good, it is red meat like tuna, and the taste of sashimi is very good." After Chu Mingcheng explained, he returned to his side, because he himself was also caught in the fish.
But this fish also made him suddenly, no wonder after turning on the fish gathering function, the first one to take the bait was Zhang Wei's side.
Because this fish is not a high-quality fish, it is not affected by the function of fish aggregation.
After a while, there was a piece of more than five catties on his side, and Chen Yang was not to be outdone, and he also brought up a strip of about four or five catties.
There were a lot of fish at the bottom of the water, and after each of them caught their first fish, they continued to stick rods.
Fishing until eleven o'clock in the night, when the fish dispersed, Chu Mingcheng caught two additional groupers, and the remaining two of them caught all purple bream.
However, the harvest was quite large, and each of the three of them caught two full boxes of fish, the number of which was about the same, and the difference was the size of the fish.
Chen Yang and Zhang Wei made two trips to transport the fish back to the White Dragon, and also took away Chu Mingcheng's two foam boxes.
After the two left, he also carried the box full of fish into the refrigerator cabin, and then put the rod back to wash and sleep.
After returning to the bedroom and talking to Jiang Luoluo on the phone again, Chu Mingcheng lay on the bed, feeling as if he hadn't noticed something for a while.
He remembered that there was a very valuable fish in the East China Sea, which seemed to be produced on this side of the continental shelf.
I couldn't remember the name of the fish for a while, so I picked it up and looked it up on the Internet.
After looking for a long time, suddenly a fish with a brown back appeared on the screen of his mobile phone, and his eyes lit up and he found it.
After knowing the name of the fish, he immediately checked the geographical location of the fish, and learned that it was in the waters near the Ryukyus, and he knew it in his heart.
Originally, Chu Mingcheng planned to delay for another day, take Zhang Wei and them to fish for tuna or other large fish, and then leave to catch the kind of fish they found yesterday.
As a result, when I got up in the morning to collect the crab pot, I accidentally caught a surprising aquatic creature, the Gan's giant crab.
This crab has a leg span of 4.2 meters, which looks very huge.
It's a pity that the thirteen that Chu Mingcheng caught were not very big, and he deliberately measured the largest of them.
The length of the shell is only twenty-three centimeters, the leg span is one and a half meters, and the weight is thirteen pounds.
Gan's giant crab is also called a killer crab, the origin of this name does not mean that it can kill, but it is just a common name that is given by people because it looks more terrifying.
But for those who like to eat crabs, it does kill people and are greedy.
This time, Chu Mingcheng was able to catch thirteen, and his luck was relatively good.
Because Gan's giant crab can survive in waters at a depth of one thousand meters, his crab pot last night was only two hundred meters deep, and the chance of encountering it under normal circumstances is very low.
However, this made Chu Mingcheng understand that there is a great possibility that some extremely valuable aquatic products may occur in the deep sea.
His deepest dive is now recorded at more than 300 meters, but judging from the situation at that time, more than 300 meters is far from his limit.
Now that Jiang Luoluo is not around, it seems that he can do something.
Yesterday, while looking for suitable waters for tuna fishing, he found a body of water with a depth of more than 600 meters, which is connected to this water.
As for whether the farther place was deeper, he didn't go over to see it for the time being.
But Gan's giant crabs gather together when they shed their shells, so if they do, he may be able to catch a lot.
The price of this crab is not low, the live frozen can reach 2001 catties, and the fresh can reach 500 yuan a catty.
The price is so high, mainly because it is rare in the market.
This is not because of its scarcity, but because the waters where the giant crab lives are too deep, and its whereabouts are uncertain, so it is extremely difficult to catch, so its number in the market is relatively small.
Fishermen in the East China Sea are only lucky enough to catch some of them, and there are no special crab boats to catch this crab.
However, in fact, there are quite a few of these crabs, and although they do not overflow, they can occasionally find large groups.
Now that he had caught this kind of crab, Chu Mingcheng decided to cancel the original plan and catch some crabs in this sea area first.
It's rare to encounter, and it's a pity not to catch it.
As for the fish I found yesterday, they live in a fixed sea area, and there is a great possibility that they will be found in the past, so it is okay to go later.
Put all these killer crabs in a live water tank and turn on the oxygen.
When Zhang Wei and Chen Yang got up and knew that Chu Mingcheng had caught these strange-looking but high-priced crabs, they immediately regretted slapping their thighs.
They didn't prepare deep-sea crab pots when they went to sea, and even if they encountered them, they couldn't catch them now.
In the end, they could only vent their frustration on the fish, and they were particularly energetic in looking for fish during the day, and then they really found a few large tuna.
It was five bigeye tuna of more than 300 catties, and as a result, two people caught one, and it took more than four hours to fish.
By the time the fish came up, the other tuna had already run away.
Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng saw that they were fishing so difficult, so he kindly helped them and fished two of them in four hours.
In order to hide his strength, he also deliberately used an electric winch.
Zhang Wei and Chen Yang were speechless, the two of them were tired and tired and only caught one.
Chu Mingcheng looked alive, but he fished two of them.
But if they don't catch it, the fish will run away, so of course they won't say anything about grabbing the fish, unless they are willing to pay the cost to keep the fish.
The day passed quickly, and night came.
Chu Mingcheng deliberately drove the boat to a depth of four hundred and fifty meters, originally he wanted to go to a deeper place, but the rope was not long enough, it seemed that he would have to pick up a few hundred meters in the future.
After the night fishing, he did not wash and sleep like yesterday, but sat in the living room and waited for the White Dragon to turn off the lights.
He was surrounded by a wetsuit, a headlamp, a diving flashlight, and a fishspear.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the White Dragon turned off the lights.
Chu Mingcheng immediately changed into a diving suit, put on a headlamp, took a fish spear and a flashlight, and he came to the position on the back deck and gently entered the water.
This is actually not very far from his position last night, only about three kilometers.
With Chu Mingcheng's full speed, it only took seven or eight minutes to arrive, and his speed in the water was quite fast now.
Once in the water, he turned on his flashlight, swam to last night's location, and gradually dived.
The dive watch has the function of a compass, but it is not afraid of getting lost.
It was pitch black and frighteningly hollow.
In this environment, Chu Mingcheng quickly dived to the bottom, and he once again refreshed his diving record, and now the diving depth is 416 meters.
But the water pressure at this depth is still easy for him to adapt to, and with the current situation, he does have the potential to become an Aquaman.
However, he met Jiang Luoluo, and he was her first man, so he couldn't bear to live up to it.
When Chu Mingcheng came to the bottom of the water, he didn't immediately go to the place where he caught the Gan's giant crab yesterday, but first looked at the surrounding environment.
The bottom of the water, unsurprisingly, is a bed of sand.
But the sand bed is not empty, but there are some aquatic plants that are only thirty or forty centimeters long.
Aquatic weeds are not dense, so the situation under the water is clear at a glance, and nothing has been found for the time being.
He confirmed the direction, and swam to the spot where he had caught the crab last night.
After swimming about 500 meters, he found that the altitude of the place had risen by more than 60 meters, and the current depth was 353 meters.
Second, he saw the corpse of an unknown fish in front of him.
The fish is not very big, only about forty or fifty centimeters, and the flesh on the body is slowly drifting because of the current.
But that's not the point, the point is that there is a group of prawns clustered around the fish.
If he guessed correctly, this should be a group of East China Sea crayfish.
A much cheaper, but not as tasty as the native sea prawn of New Zealand.
He walked around the neighborhood and found that this was the territory of the shrimp, many of them hiding in the sand, with only a head and long pincers exposed.
Sure enough, the deep sea is full of treasures, and you can pick up money by walking around.
It seems that he will not be able to catch fish in the future, so he can dive more and walk around the deep sea.
Chu Mingcheng went back decisively, found his five shrimp pots, and then took the shrimp pots to the territory of the shrimp.
After walking around just now, he already knew the dense areas of sea shrimp, so the five shrimp pots were originally placed next to these dense areas.
It is believed that the flavor of the bait inside can attract a large number of sea shrimp.
But fortunately, it was at night, if it was during the day, Zhang Wei or Chen Yang accidentally found that the float on the water surface was moving, and it was estimated that they would wonder if they were tricky.
Chu Mingcheng, who had put the shrimp pot, continued to set off, and after a few minutes, he didn't know if he had arrived at his destination.
Along the way, a Gan's giant crab will occasionally be found, but it is all dead crab and it is empty.
Two of them were found moving in the back, but they were too small for him to be of the slightest interest.
However, this also shows that Gan's giant crab did move in this water.
After a circle, no large number of crabs were found, which made Chu Mingcheng suspect that it was luck that he caught crabs yesterday, maybe he just happened to encounter a small group of Gan's giant crabs in migration?
But what the specific situation, he can't find the reason now.
There was no gain, so Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to start returning along this road, preparing to go to the deeper waters to take a look.
When he found that a group of shrimp shrimp shrimp had gathered outside the shrimp pot, it was estimated that tomorrow's harvest would be very good.
Even if you can't meet Gan's giant crab tonight, it is worth the trip with this batch of sea shrimp.
The frozen shrimp in the East China Sea can be sold for 150 yuan a catty, and as for the fresh ones, there is a high probability that they will not survive to the shore.
If it can be transported to the shore, the price is estimated to be more than 300 catties.
Continuing on, he soon came to the place where the crab pot was dropped.
But unfortunately, there are no creatures in the crab pot, not even some deep-sea monster fish here, it is very desolate.
But soon, Chu Mingcheng found out a piece of good news.
He was on the edge of a weed, and saw a dead Gan's giant crab.
This Gan's giant crab was larger than the one he had found before, probably about the same as the one he had caught this morning.
Since there is a discovery here, it means that the Gan's giant crab has definitely passed through here.
But apart from the original road, he can't be sure which side of the three directions there are crabs at the moment.
After thinking about it, Chu Mingcheng decided to take a look at the place where the water was deep first, which was also the direction of the east and south.
Unsure how long he would stay in the water, he swam to the surface to change his breath before diving again.
Once he had determined his location, he began to swim southeast.
After a while, the octopus, which had been huge, appeared in Chu Mingcheng's sight.
This octopus was almost the size of an oil tank, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to approach it at all.
If it's a fish, he's really not afraid, but this thing has strong vitality, especially the suction cup on the body is not a joke.
If he was entangled by it, Chu Mingcheng was not sure if he would survive.
Fortunately, the octopus was disturbed and began to crawl slowly into the distance, very slowly.
At this rate, it's no wonder that sperm whales and some of the larger deep-sea sharks are food.
Of course, the baby shark is its food.
Without disturbing this scalp-numbing guy, Chu Mingcheng continued to swim towards the deep sea.
Because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the water pressure, he did not swim fast.
After a while, he encountered a group of pink jellyfish again, and the deep sea is really dangerous!
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and at a depth of seven hundred and thirty-six meters, Chu Mingcheng finally found a large group of Gan's giant crabs.
Although the density is average, they are all in decent size.
The general size of the crab group is as big as the thirteen catties he caught today, not to mention the big one.
Even if the leg span is not four meters, it has reached three meters, which is very large.
If you find the giant crab, then the next step is the time to carry it.
He couldn't bring the crab pots, mainly because the length of the rope was not enough, and with the size of these crabs, he couldn't fit a few, so it was better to catch them directly.
These Gan's giant crabs moved very slowly, and Chu Mingcheng turned on his headlamp and put the flashlight into the small net pocket.
Then he went over and grabbed a very large crab leg and lifted it up.
These crabs don't weigh much on him, so it's impossible to catch one and go back.
He chose another huge Gan's giant crab and grabbed the leg as well.
With his legs together in his hands, he can catch six crabs at once and bring them back.
As he swam, the giant crab had no room to struggle, and was pulled by him like a helpless child.
But Chu Mingcheng didn't notice that the numbers on his diving watch didn't change because of his movement.
Apparently the watch had broken down due to the pressure, and it showed 736 meters, when in fact the gathering place of Gan's giant crab had reached more than 800 meters.
With such a depth, the aquatic illustrated book finally has a plug-in appearance.
