My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 520: The Newborn Island

However, at the market price, geoduck over half a catty is indeed 350 yuan per catty.

From this point of view, the cousin of the hotel owner is actually quite capable, at least he forcibly lowered the purchase price by 50 yuan.

"More than half a catty, three hundred yuan per catty." Xiang Yang pressed the price.

"Three hundred?" The old fisherman stared and said, "We will lose money."

In fact, they had already begun to hesitate in their hearts.

Three hundred, which is the same as the price they sent to the city.

Although the price is the same, the cost is completely different. First, they don't need shipping fees, and second, they don't need to worry about the death of geoduck, which saves the original delivery time.

"Three hundred and three." The old fisherman pretended to be heartbroken, and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, it's a deal." Xiang Yang didn't bother to bargain for the tens of dollars anymore. He bought these geoducks back home just because Li Chao needed them and helped him to deliver them smoothly.

After hearing this, the fishermen immediately agreed, and hurriedly brought over the geoduck from their respective boats, and weighed them in front of Xiang Yang.

This group seems to be a lot of people, with dozens of boats lying across the sea, but the efficiency is actually extremely low. In addition, the sun has just set and they have only been working for a while. All of them add up to less than 200 Geoduck, more than 100 catties.

Xiang Yang paid them money, ordered the crew to carry the geoduck onto the boat, and then ordered the fishing boat to continue sailing.

The next voyage became boring again.

If the sea water is clear enough, Xiang Yang can take the crew to the bottom of the sea to relieve boredom.

But looking at the gray, yellowish sea with small white bubbles everywhere, Xiang Yang really didn't want to go down to the bottom of the sea.

Some crew members spontaneously organized to go fishing at the stern, and Xiang Yang didn't bother to participate, so he stayed in the cabin and chatted with Chen Qingsheng, Xu Fang and others while eating pistachios.

The net keeps dragging.

But nothing good has come out.

I also know that this sea area is densely packed with fishing boats, and it would be strange if they could catch good goods.

"It's a good thing we don't make a living in this sea area, otherwise we wouldn't be able to earn back the gas expenses." Xu Fang said with emotion.

"That's right. If you go out for a trip, the fuel cost will be at least four or five figures. If you travel a little farther, six figures is also normal." Zhou Wang agreed.

Xiang Yang was about to speak.

Suddenly, there was a huge sway of the fishing boat, and the hull seemed to tilt violently to one side, and the bow of the boat directly deviated from the original direction.

"Oops."

"Grass."

Xu Fang and Chen Qingsheng stood up instantly.

Xiang Yang's complexion was not very good either.

Soon, someone from the engineering team ran over and shouted: "Captain, chief engineer, our fishing net is caught by something."

"I also know that's the case." Xiang Yang sighed, how terrifying is the power of an ocean-going fishing boat during its voyage?

Being pulled by an ocean-going fishing boat like this, without even thinking about it, the fishing net must be broken, or the kind that is torn to pieces and cannot be repaired.

A fishing net is not cheap, more than 70,000 yuan.

But I don’t really care about wanting it. He already had several spare fishing nets. When he bought this boat, the shipyard sent a few more. Last time when he refueled in Zhoushan, he also gave away one, and a fishing net. If it's broken, it's broken, what a joke.

"Is there anything wrong with the winch?" Xiang Yang's real concern is this.

If the winch was torn out too, it would be the end of it.

Once this gadget is repaired, you can directly buy a good entry-level luxury car.

"Checking."

Soon, Zhou Wang reported to Xiang Yanghui: "The fishing net is damaged. Fortunately, the winch is not damaged. Change a fishing net and continue sailing."

Xiang Yang nodded, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the reason? Did you find out?"

"We haven't found out the reason yet. We have investigated the navigation database. No ship has had a similar situation in this area before, so it should be an emergency." Zhou Wang said.

Xiang Yang frowned, got up and walked out of the cabin.

On the deck, quite a few crew members stuck their heads out of the railing to look around, apparently they were also very curious.

First go to the fishing boat for a sudden meal. The huge inertia made many people startled. Some people thought that the boat had tentacles, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Xiang Yang glanced under the boat, the sea was a bit deep and turbid, and with a lot of foam, he couldn't see clearly what was underneath.

"Could it be a shipwreck?" Fang Youqun suddenly asked at this moment.

"It's not realistic." Xiang Yang shook his head. This is an offshore area, and there are so many ships sailing here and there. If there is a sunken ship, it would have been discovered long ago.

And here is so close to the coast, as long as a ship sinks in such a place, how bad is its luck?

"How deep is the sonar detection here?" Xiang Yang asked.

"Between 200 and 300 meters." The crew member in charge of the sonar immediately said.

"The water is not very deep. Our diving suits already have the effect of resisting pressure. There are quite a few people who can go down to this depth wearing diving suits. Chen Qingsheng, take a few people and come down with me to have a look." Yang way.

"Yes, Captain." Chen Qingsheng quickly picked out a dozen with good lung capacity, put on the diving suit, and waited for Xiang Yang's order.

Xiang Yang also put on a diving suit, and then he jumped over the railing and jumped under the water.

Soon, Xiang Yang and his party went down to the bottom of the sea.

After arriving at the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang was a little dazed.

Because, what was hanging the fishing net was actually a protruding water chestnut under a huge earth bag.

Of course, these are not the most critical.

The most important thing is that the color of the bottom layer of this soil bag is actually different from the color of the upper part, it seems that it has just been squeezed out from the ground.

"Is this an island? An island in the process of formation due to crustal movement, or a reef?"

Everyone felt very surprised and swam around the dirt bag.

It is very obvious that this soil bag has just been formed, and the rock layer below is still in a fractured state. There is no sediment or vegetation on it. I am afraid that the formation process took place within the past few years.

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Even Xiang Yang is no exception.

Before they came down, they thought they had discovered the sunken ship again.

However, it is such a small island that has not yet formed.

This kind of small island that has not yet formed and looks like a hidden reef is not very common in the ocean, but it is definitely not a surprise discovery.

In the Pacific Ocean, new islands will appear every once in a while due to various reasons, and old islands will disappear due to various reasons.

And the small island right now is obviously an uplift formed after the seabed continent was squeezed, and the broken water chestnut at the bottom is its proof.
