Chapter 1578: May rain heavily

Ye Yaodong explained to Chen Shi about the sonar probe cleaning mentioned by the chief engineer just now, and then went to rest.

Saying rest is also closing eyes and resting. It's only seven or eight o'clock now, and it's noisy.

He planned to close his eyes and rest for a while, wait for the net to be lifted, then get up and take a look, and then sleep.

Lying down inevitably makes him think about more things. He went through the things he had to do when he went back in his heart again, and thought about when the few ships returning could come over to pick up the cargo again.

In his heart, he inevitably made the worst plan. At worst, wait until all the ships are full and return directly...

After thinking wildly, he heard the movement of lifting the net outside, and then he got up again.

"Brother Dong, not asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep for a while, heard the movement and got up to take a look. You go busy, I'll go down and command."

Ye Yaodong commanded them to collect the net. After an hour or so, it was all collected, and then he took a flashlight and lay on the side of the ship.

The chief engineer shouted, "Turn on the deck searchlight, turn off the sensor power, switch the radar screen to manual mode, avoid automatic tracking interference."

"Received."

The orange light beam pierced the night sea, illuminating the fluorescent position belt tied to the buoy rope. This was painted by Old Chen with luminous paint.

Old Chen said to Ye Yaodong: "You hold the long pole with a hook and wait here."

"Know."

80 meters below, the sonar sensor blurred by the squid ink was swaying in the tide. Ye Yaodong was ready to hook the sensor bracket at any time.

"Start the hydraulic winch, control the speed at 0.5 meters/second."

If it's fast, it will swing and hit the ship's body.

When the sensor rises to a water depth of 20 meters, pause, use a high-pressure water gun, 80°C freshwater to pre-rinse the luminous algae and various microorganisms attached to the surface.

Old Chen also took the opportunity to check the steel cable wear.

After rinsing, Ye Yaodong hooked the sensor up.

At this moment, the sonar sensor was emitting a strong fishy smell, and the surface was blurred with a layer of gelatinous ink, looking like it had been spat a mouthful of "high-tech thick phlegm" by a squid.

Around it were also some tiny barnacle larvae parasitic.

"Clean it carefully, don't scratch it."

"Know, these technological things are very expensive, we can't afford to lose them if we sell them."

"Hahaha, if you sell it, your whole family can't afford it."

"These barnacles are really annoying, can't remove them, and they grow out again after a period of time."

"That is, the bottom of the ship is also, such a big ship, it is not easy to clean..."

The barnacles in the seawater are really hateful and scary, properly the overlord in the ocean.

And there are almost no natural enemies, only starfish can eat barnacles.

Starfish can directly destroy the shell of barnacles through their sharp teeth, and then wrap their stomach directly around the flesh.

After digestion, only an empty shell was left in place.

Once marine buildings and items and marine life are parasitic by barnacles, it is a troublesome thing.

Marine buildings and items are cleaned regularly, and once marine life is attached by barnacles, it cannot get rid of the torture for a lifetime.

After everyone carefully cleaned it, this sensor had to be put into the sea, but before entering the water, the old practice was to pour half a cup of white wine.

It is both anti-rust and offering to the Sea God.

At the same time as entering the water, the power was turned on. However, at the moment of entering the water, the first signal jumped out of the sonar screen was a black shadow several meters long, passing leisurely under the probe.

"Damn, what is this thing that passed directly?"

"Seems to be a hairtail? But it looks like several meters, at least three or four meters..."

"Such a long one, can it be a hairtail? Can a hairtail be so long?"

"Is that an oarfish?"

Ye Yaodong didn't see it, could only guess, and took a flashlight to shine everywhere, but the sea surface was pitch black, and he didn't see anything.

The worker replied, "Don't know, just at the moment of opening, immediately received a long strip-shaped thing, and passed directly."

"It's okay, since it's put down, it will continue to detect."

Just a fish, although it detected a big one, it didn't matter.

"Then we continue to work..."

"Organize the fishing net, check it, have to release the net first..."

Everyone was busy with their own duties.

Ye Yaodong simply commanded them to release the fishing net, and after the fishing net was released, he went up to the wheelhouse.

"Hard work Brother Dong, in the middle of the night, already lying down, and climbed up to command."

"I feel like you are pointing at me, what am I working hard for, you guys who stay up late are the ones working hard."

Chen Shi smiled honestly.

"Busy, I'm going to sleep, call me if there is anything."

Even if sleeping, he couldn't sleep in peace. He hadn't been out for a few days, and he still had to stay alert.

Early the next morning, just woke up, Old Xiao was already on duty.

Old Xiao excitedly said to him: "Dongzi, do you know? We dragged up a net last night, inside were very long hairtails, many, one can be ten jin."

"What?" Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, "What kind of hairtail can be ten jin?"

A hairtail over 1 kg is already amazing.

Except for the oarfish, where is there any hairtail that can be more than ten jin?

The oarfish does not belong to the hairtail.

"Really, sixty-something, each one is more than two meters, the meat is thick, palm wide, normal hairtail three fingers wide is already considered thick meat."

This is true, three-finger-wide hairtail can already be sold for a good price.

"I'll go take a look, I'm curious about what you said, I haven't seen a ten-jin hairtail yet."

Ye Yaodong said while already going down.

Old Xiao was still shouting, "You'll know when you see it, there are sixty-something..."

He waved his hand without speaking, indicating he knew.

The workers on the deck were still sorting the cargo, and the cargo on the sorting table didn't look much.

"Have you eaten? Almost finished sorting, right?"

The workers' hands didn't stop, their mouths replied, "Almost, finish working and then go eat, eat and then change shifts."

Ye Yaodong asked casually, helped lift the sorted cargo, moved into the freezer with others, and asked by the way.

"Said last night caught dozens of ten-jin hairtails?"

"Yes yes, have, very long and wide, meat is thick, top grade, grew up so big for the first time to see such a long hairtail."

"They all said it was the hairtail king, there were many hairtails in the net last night, but after picking them out, there were sixty-something that reached 5 kg, but most of the rest also weighed 2~3 kg, and the smallest was close to two kg..."

The workers told him while walking, and after entering the freezer, they pointed to him where they were placed.

"This kind of East China Sea super big hairtail, radar net can't catch one or two a year, longline fishing may not be able to catch such a big one, and this time we actually caught so many at once, really unexpected."

"They said that such a big hairtail is worthy of the 'hairtail king', and its scarcity is comparable to wild large yellow croaker."

Ye Yaodong took a look, placed on the bottom layer, long strips neatly arranged, he reached out and touched it, it was already frozen, wanted to take one but couldn't take it out.

"Awesome, so big, I also saw such a long hairtail for the first time..."

These East China Sea large hairtails, most of them weigh 2-3 kg, the smallest is nearly 2 kg, and the largest hairtail, body length exceeds 2 meters, weighs more than 6 kg, and the body is wider than an adult's palm.

This made Ye Yaodong, who had been fishing for many years in two lives, sigh in surprise.

"Hehe, can this sell for a lot of money?"

"Of course, how can it be more expensive than black grouper, those 10-jin ones can also be sold for the price of yellow croaker."

"That's not bad, dozens."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, it's a pity, fell asleep last night, the activity of the school of fish is higher around the full moon, and the timing of casting the net is better.

It is estimated that the cargo collection in these two days can be better.

"Is it the first net caught after the detector was cleaned last night and put down again?"

"Yes, they said it was the black shadow that the detector just put down and chased, and then caught it."

"Didn't it say that the detected one was three or four meters?"

The worker touched his head and said honestly: "Don't know..."

"Go busy, I'm going out too, eyebrows are frosted, frozen to death."

Ye Yaodong went out after seeing it, breakfast hadn't been eaten yet, teeth hadn't been brushed, was told by Old Xiao and came over to take a look first.

Today's weather doesn't look very good, it's already past 6 o'clock, there is no red light on the horizon, only thick clouds, don't know if it will rain.

When eating, everyone was chatting there.

But as long as it doesn't rain heavily, it doesn't matter. If it rains heavily, it's also troublesome. Although wearing a raincoat, you have to work in the rain.

Ye Yaodong was also worried about rain. Originally thought about wiping a bath after eating, now it seems that there is no need to wash.

Cough... anyway, it will definitely rain in these two days, and it will rain again, wet and then wash, now you can save it.

Calculate, he hasn't washed for a week...

Can't blame him for being sloppy, freshwater resources at sea are scarce, no need to wash if there is no big necessity, anyway, who doesn't have a fishy smell on their body.

Everyone is the same, some simply didn't even brush their teeth.

Speaking of which, he is considered relatively clean.

There was no sun all day, cloudy weather, everyone was relieved.

However, the weather forecast at night said that there would be heavy rain tomorrow, so everyone could only prepare in advance.

Heavy rain weather has low visibility, especially at night, which is even more dangerous. Personnel need to be careful, and the cargo in the cargo hold also needs to be careful.

Everyone moved, using anti-slip steel chains to penetrate all fish boxes horizontally. Heavy rain is often accompanied by big waves, and it is also necessary to prevent the ten-thousand-ton waves from overturning the cargo hold.

Set up waterproof canvas at the winch console at night, leaving a steel cable channel. Visibility in heavy rain is often zero.

Also have to check the drainage system, test the deck drainage valve, and also install on the steel cable, buffer spring, to deal with the instantaneous tensile impact caused by giant waves.

Also have to pay attention to the power system, prevent heavy rain from damaging power equipment, make inferior diesel contain water, leading to shutdown.

Standby generators must be preheated in advance, low-temperature wet air easily makes the starting motor fail.

No wonder everyone scolded, this heavy rain, the preparatory work that everyone has to do in advance is also complicated, and there are more things to pay attention to.
