Antarctic krill is one of Chu Mingcheng's goals in Antarctica this time, as long as he gets more refrigerated cabins and freezes them at low temperatures, he doesn't need to worry about bait in the next trip.

As long as this thing is willing to take a little bit to make a nest, the effect of the fish gathering will be no worse than his plug-in.

"Luo Luo, let's go and take out all the boxes and shrimp pots together, and catch them today."

"Okay!"

It's a blatant robbery, and no one doesn't like it.

Soon, they removed all the blue plastic boxes on the ship, which were not very numerous, a total of seven.

At that time, Chu Mingcheng bought ten, and one box could hold about fifty catties of fish.

Usually, when he catches fish that need to be frozen directly, he will first put them in these boxes, and then freeze them at low temperature in the refrigerator cabin.

Of course, some fish that have been eaten immediately in recent days, they will put it in the refrigerator.

Subsequently, Chu Mingcheng put down all the shrimp pots, while Jiang Luoluo found a relatively dense net.

The Antarctic shrimp is very small, and the mesh is still relatively large.

But when she stretched the net into the water, it was half full, and it was full of prawns, which were estimated to be about four or five centimeters.

"That's an exaggeration!" Jiang Luoluo himself was stunned, he didn't expect to catch so much in such a casual fish.

This also shows how exaggerated the density of Antarctic krill is, estimated to reach about 10,000 to 30,000 per cubic meter, no wonder they can afford to raise those giants in the sea.

Chu Mingcheng estimated that those blue whales would get millions of shrimp in one bite.

No, he tried to lift the shrimp pot that he had just put down, but it was all full.

Seven boxes of about fifty pounds were full in just an hour.

"Eh, that's it!" Jiang Luoluo crossed his waist with one hand and smiled, "It's been so long to go to sea, it's the first time I've been so cool." ”

As a result, Chu Mingcheng said leisurely: "This thing is only four yuan per catty, and we count him here for three hundred and fifty catties, but it is only one thousand four hundred yuan, and the value is not as valuable as a deep-sea fish I occasionally catch." ”

Jiang Luoluo's excitement was immediately extinguished, she rolled her eyes and complained, "If you can't speak, don't speak, the work of one thousand and four in an hour can be robbed!" ”

"The premise is that you have to calculate the cost~"

Jiang Luoluo had nothing to say.

We all know that krill fishing in Antarctica makes money, but the threshold for making this money is too high.

Even in China, the more well-known one is an ocean-going shrimp fishing boat, and I don't know if there is Chu Mingcheng or not.

Three hundred and fifty pounds of Antarctic krill was completely enough for the two of them, so they had no greed to fill the refrigerated tank.

Chu Mingcheng moved the box to the refrigerator and frozen, and Jiang Luoluo washed and copied the nets and shrimp pots.

After moving all the Antarctic krill in, Chu Mingcheng came out to take a look at the situation of the boat-stern killer whales.

They seem to be particularly excited about the imminent arrival in Antarctica, but they are not interested in this large area of Antarctic shrimp.

It's worthy of using other whales as food, these little shrimps don't look down on it at all!

However, an hour after Chu Mingcheng raised the sails again and continued to move forward, a patch of Antarctic krill swimming to the surface of the water appeared on the surface of the sea again.

At the same time, one of the recipes for a killer whale also appeared, the blue whale.

But alas, this head is an adult.

It floated on the surface of the water, and swallowed countless krill directly with a large mouth of blood.

The body was larger than his boat, and the five killer whales obediently followed the sailboat, ignoring each other's interest at all.

They assess the risk when they hunt, so in most cases, the small population will never go to adulthood.

But it's not just blue whales that attract Antarctic krill.

No, a group of Antarctic minke whales, unaware of the danger, appeared.

At first, they didn't notice the group of killer whales blocked by the sailboat, but they only noticed when they got closer, but it was too late to turn around and run.

The killer whales, which had not eaten today, were excited, and they immediately chased after them.

Chu Mingcheng opened his mouth to stop it, but in the end, he just thought about it.

Antarctica, perhaps, is where they are separated.

The killer whales followed them all the way from the East China Sea to Antarctica, where they protected them throughout.

But this group of killer whales does not belong to the other half of the sea of Blue Star, at least this route to the Antarctic is part of their heritage, they do not belong to the Atlantic.

His sea cucumber mode was now fully capable of handling most situations and could also protect himself, so Chu Mingcheng decided to let them go free.

In this case, it is impossible to hunt minke whales.

This is their main food in Antarctica, and the number of minke whales in Antarctica is not small, and they are fine if they eat some.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw that he didn't stop it, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Ah Cheng, you didn't allow them to eat mammals before, why don't you stop them now?" ”

Chu Mingcheng shook his head and told her what he thought.

Jiang Luoluo was silent after hearing this, and his expression was somewhat reluctant.

Along the way, she has become accustomed to the presence of killer whales, who in some ways often carry her to play in the sea, giving her more fun than the dogs.

But nature is their destination, and she also supports Chu Mingcheng's choice.

Then the two of them sped up and followed.

The killer whales chased the dozen minke whales in front of them desperately to escape, and this chase lasted for an hour.

Chu Mingcheng could clearly feel that the minke whales were a little tired, and the frequency of small jets of water spewing out of their noses was obviously higher than before.

At this moment, the patient killer whales began to move, and they picked up speed in vain.

Chu Mingcheng thought that they would directly bite the minke whales, but they didn't, but they rushed over to divide the battlefield very tacitly, and directly scattered the minke whales that gathered together.

If it doesn't work out once, then twice.

Soon, the gathered minke whales were washed away, and Chu Mingcheng could see that the two minke whales were left alone together.

At this point, the killer whales were divided into two teams.

Three of them surrounded the two minke whales, while the other two continued to drive the larger minke whales away to prevent them from coming to their rescue.

"It's breathtaking!" Jiang Luoluo exclaimed, "No wonder they can become the overlord of the sea, this tactic is simple but very effective. ”

"There's some gore next, so don't look at it!" Seeing that the remaining two killer whales were back, Chu Mingcheng hugged her and covered her eyes.

Killer whales are very cruel when they eat, and will gnaw through the minke whales alive, revealing their internal organs.

The fluttering blood will stain the entire surface of the water in an instant, and this kind of picture is not suitable for women and children.

Jiang Luoluo did not resist, and snuggled up to him.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the picture of the killer whale biting the minke whale, and his brows furrowed unconsciously, this is much more ferocious than eating tuna.

As a result, after eating one minke whale, the killer whales pushed the remaining intact minke whale to the side of his boat and screamed at him.

Chu Mingcheng suddenly realized, no wonder one minke whale could fill their stomachs, but they killed two.

"Lolo, would you like to taste minke whale meat?"

"Huh? Forget it, I don't want it! Jiang Luoluo shook his head in disgust.

Although she didn't see the picture of killer whales eating, a tragedy had just happened, how could she have that interest.

If she saw a whale meat menu at a restaurant, she would probably be interested.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care about this, there were so many kinds of strange foods in the world, and he didn't have to try it.

Although minke whales are a very good tastigated type of cetaceans, the taste is nothing more than "fish-flavored beef", and he is not curious.

So in the end he asked the killer whales to bring their own food and continue to set off with them, and this minke whale will be their food tomorrow.

After another three-day journey, Chu Mingcheng arrived at a target location to come to Antarctica.

It is a sea area with a depth of more than 1,500 meters, and the ship's top-of-the-line fish finder has successfully detected large fish at the bottom of the water.

The large fish in the deep waters of Antarctica are nothing but Antarctic silver cod.

It's called Silver Cod, but it's not really a Cod.

Its actual name is Toothfish, and there are two main types, namely the small-scaled Toothfish and the scaly-headed Antarctic Fish.

Chu Mingcheng's main target was the small-scaled toothfish, which was much more expensive than ordinary codfish.

In the ugly country, the price of a pound of toothfish is about 20 green coins.

On Hong Kong Island, 100 grams of this thing costs a few tens of Hong Kong dollars.

Not only is it expensive, but the size of the toothfish can also grow to two meters and weigh more than two hundred catties.

It is the same as in the case of the seven-banded grouper, the larger the fish, the better the taste, mainly because of the high fat content.

Chu Mingcheng was able to find this fish, mainly because he accidentally found a large fishing boat specializing in toothfish fishing on the sea.

Those longlines placed on the surface of the sea give them an accurate fishing spot.

It's a pity that Chu Mingcheng currently doesn't have the capital to obtain a share of the fishing of toothfish and Antarctic shrimp, so he can only watch it greedily.

"It's so deep, how can we fish!" Looking at the depth displayed on the fish finder, Jiang Luoluo sighed helplessly.

They drove sailboats, and there were no longlines on board, and there were no longline equipment.

The longline that can fish more than 1,000 meters is not small, and the thick batch of ropes requires a machine to put it down.

"You just sit and hold the high-power electric winch, and let the machine pull slowly! Anyway, there are two on board, and this one is out of power to charge and replace the other. ”

"What about you?"

"I'll just fish hard, I have a lot of strength, and I can barely fish for 1,500 meters."

The corners of Jiang Luoluo's mouth twitched, at a depth of 1,500 meters, fishing one will be wasted!

But thinking that her man was indeed unusual, she didn't object.

The two began to prepare, two heavy poles, two high-power electric winch, and a large drum wheel.

However, before fishing for toothfish, they also need to catch some bait that will interest the toothfish.

Although Antarctic shrimp can make nests to attract them, they will definitely not be interested in the small shrimp on the hook.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng first tied a small fish ditch and a big lead sinker, and the shrimp pot was filled with the Antarctic shrimp he had just caught a few days ago.

Jiang Luoluo did not follow him to fish, but moved a small bench to sit beside him, holding his chin with both hands and waiting quietly.

There are more than 200 kinds of fish in Antarctica, and any small ones are bait, and Chu Mingcheng doesn't care what he catches.

Unfortunately, he found no small schools of fish in the shallow water on the fish finder, and he finally found some small schools of fish inhabiting the water depth of more than 500 meters in the nearby waters.

The hook bait and shrimp pot sank at a very fast speed under the weight of ten kilograms of plumb.

After a while, the hook sank to the bottom, and Chu Mingcheng took advantage of the situation to retract some lines.

Fortunately, he came to Antarctica with a clear goal, prepared several one-, two-, and three-kilometer long fishing lines, and specially purchased a line cup that could accommodate such a long fishing line.

Otherwise, he would not be able to catch such a deep fish, so he could only wander around in the shallow water to try his luck.

The water droplets are scarce of food, and the smell of Antarctic shrimp in the shrimp pot quickly attracts a school of fish.

Coupled with the influence of the plug-in, the hook is full of fish every moment.

Among them, there are not only small fish that can be used as bait, but also target toothfish in Chu Mingcheng.

It's just that the toothfish here are not only small in number compared to those in the previous position, but also far less in size.

But they are still not interested in the small shrimp and rush directly to the other fish.

Because of them, the small schools of fish that had been gathered suddenly dispersed.

But after the toothfish chased the small fish away for a short time, some of the small fish gathered back.

On a first-come, first-served basis, a fish about 30 centimeters in size couldn't stand it, and immediately swallowed the small shrimp in one bite.

The next moment, the movement of its struggle was transmitted by the fishing line to the fishing rod, causing the rod to tremble slightly.

Seeing that the fish was hooked, Chu Mingcheng lightly lifted his hand, and then quickly reeled in the line.

Judging from the tremor on the fishing rod, the fish would not be very big, but Chu Mingcheng found that the strength it took to shake Bing and the force used to lift the fishing rod was nearly twice as strong as usual.

Sure enough, there is no electric twist for fishing deep-sea fish, and it is really unbearable for ordinary people to catch too much.

The line of more than 500 meters was too long, and the fish had little strength to resist, so it took him three or four minutes to pull the fish to the surface.

"Oh roar, there's icefish here." Jiang Luoluo, who had done his homework, immediately recognized the fish when he saw it, "Anyway, this fish can die of heat in the palm of your hand, is it really fake?" ”

General Chu Mingcheng mentioned the boat, then looked at the ice fish that was barely alive and smiled: "You can just try it?" ”

Now they have come to Antarctica, even though it is close to the summer season, but the weather is still very cold, and the temperature still reaches more than minus 20 degrees Celsius during the day.

If you go to the land of Antarctica, it should be more than minus 30 degrees by now.

Therefore, Jiang Luoluo naturally changed into a thick down jacket and wore gloves in his hands.

She is not afraid of the cold at all like Chu Mingcheng, and she is wearing a normal fishing suit in this weather, but she just wears an extra set of thermal underwear inside.

That's why she didn't want to take off her gloves to transfer the temperature to the ice fish.

"I want to try you, I don't want it, I'm afraid of the cold!"

"Let's believe in science!" Chu Mingcheng smiled, but he was not stupid enough to use his own hands to conduct experiments.

Anyway, science still made research, saying that a temperature higher than five degrees can heat an icefish to death, and he chose to believe it.

Taking the hook out and tossing the fish aside, he continued to catch the bait.

And Jiang Luoluo did not sit in a daze this time, but took the electric winch rod to change the hook, and also began to catch small fish.
