Chapter 364 Sonar has no copper, so it’s useless to fish it out
"Mr. Qin, we will be there soon!" At this time, on the roaring helicopter, Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao: "I will go down first, and then you will go down."
Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang, with a calm expression on his face: "It doesn't matter who goes down first. Are you still afraid that I will fall into the sea? I just don't know how to rappel. It's not easy to climb up a soft ladder, and it's not easy to get down. How difficult can it be?"
As Qin Tao spoke, he looked down and suddenly saw something: "Give me the telescope!"
Telescope? Why do you need a telescope?
Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao in surprise. He didn't know what Qin Tao wanted to do. However, when he followed Qin Tao's gaze to the sea, his expression also changed: "Grandma, these **** are here again!"
That ship is very special. There are two parallel and symmetrical horn-shaped hulls underneath, which support the entire ship and sail very steadily on the sea. And now, what it is doing is even more outrageous. .
“Mr. Qin, should we call the navy?”
The sea is too vast, and the Navy does not have many maritime patrol aircraft. Even if there are, it is difficult to distinguish them from the bright spots on the radar screen. As a result, the other party starts to do bad things.
We must not let the other party’s conspiracy succeed!
"Call the navy? How can the navy be needed for such a trivial matter?" Qin Tao remained calm.
"What should we do? Are we just watching here? Maybe there is still our submarine under the water!"
“No need to worry.” Qin Tao said: “I remember that there was a small village and some fishing boats on the island we just flew over?”
"Um."
“Let’s fly back and do some business there.”
What?
Doing business?
Xu Zhengyang couldn't understand that at this time, Mr. Qin was still in the mood to do business?
Half an hour later.
There was a commotion throughout the fishing villages on the island.
“Quick, diesel, bring up all the diesel!” Lu Hai, an old fisherman, shouted loudly to his son.
Lu Hai was fifty years old. His long life at sea made him look a little old. His hair was white, and the skin on his face was dark and red. His eyes were full of energy at this time. He used his calloused hands to Unscrew the fuel tank cap in the back cabin of your fishing boat.
His son Lu Ming carried the oil drum onto the ship and refueled the tank. Lu Hai was already impatient to untie the mooring rope.
The engine at the tail made a rumbling sound. Lu Hai pushed the operating lever and turned the rudder. The tail of his fishing boat began to twist outward from the dock. When the buttocks were out, he returned to the straight rudder, continued to retreat, and then switched to forward status.
“Dad, is what that person just said true?”
"Of course it's true. Hurry up and be quick. Our boat runs slowly. What if the people who passed by disappeared?"
As he spoke, Lu Hai looked up at the sea in the distance, feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.
Behind the fishing boat Lu Hai, other fishing boats also set off.
There are a total of more than a dozen fishing boats in the fishing village, but most of them have gone out to sea for fishing. Only four of their boats have just returned and are resting, but now, they are all out.
The engine was still rumbling, and the hearts of the people on the boat were also shaking.
“Dad, do you want to get off the net now?”
“No, wait a moment.”
Lu Hai said and continued to look at the sea in front of him.
After driving for an hour, a strange-looking ship appeared in the field of vision ahead.
“Dad, look at the front, that ship is so weird, it looks like a moving offshore drilling platform!”
“That’s right, that’s it, let’s go down the net!”
The fishing boat entered unmanned mode. Lu Hai walked out of the cockpit with bare feet, walked on the side of the boat, and walked to the stern. Together with his son Lu Ming, he began to lower the net.
The wheel-like thing behind started to rotate, and the net rope kept sliding down. Then, with two bangs, two iron pieces fell down, followed by another pile of cables.
After all the cables were lowered from the windlass, Lu Hai returned to the cockpit. At this time, they were very close to the strange ship.
Lu Hai adjusted the rudder a few times.
On the strange ship in front.
“Report to the captain that several fishing boats have been spotted.”
“Don’t worry about them, we’ll do our thing.” The bearded captain said.
In this kind of sea area, it is normal to see fishing boats. They do not need to make a fuss or overreact. After all, they are not responsible for the fishery administration here. They have their own tasks.
“Report, there is an abnormality in the position of a sonar buoy.” (Generally speaking, there are more sonobuoys dropped by aviation. Heroes of East China also wrote about air-dropped buoys at first. Later, due to many concerns, it was changed to those on the sea.)
“Maybe it was swept away by the ocean current.” The bearded captain said, “Don’t worry.”
“Report, the second sonobuoy is in an abnormal position!”
“Damn, what a bad luck today!”
The bearded captain watched a fishing boat pass in front of him with helplessness in his heart.
The fishing boat continued to move forward, and Lu Hai came to the stern of the boat again: "Close the net! See if there is any harvest."
The windlass started to rotate. Driven by a motor, it continuously retracted the cable that was lowered behind it. Having this thing on the fishing boat can save a lot of effort.
The cable was halfway collected, and the two iron pieces came up. Then the entire windlass was filled, and the fishing net was dragged up.
The fishing nets carrying water kept coming up, and the fishing nets gradually shrank, and some fish and shrimps could already be seen inside. Then, boom, boom, two white cylindrical things came up on the deck.
Lu Hai and Lu Ming looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. What a harvest!
“Dad, what are we going to do next? Go back?”
“That’s right, go back, get all the fish and shrimps out, and then continue to lower the net.”
“We’re all going back, why are we still putting down the nets?”
“It’s not about going home, it’s about going back to the back of that ship!” Lu Hai said: “Maybe we can catch more!”
Lu Hai looked back. At this time, three other fishing boats were also approaching the rear of the strange ship. In order to avoid being entangled in each other's nets, they were separated by a long distance.
On the strange ship, the bearded captain’s face became increasingly ugly.
“Two more sonobuoys are missing! No, three!”
“No, no, there’s a problem!” The bearded captain already felt something was wrong.
Including the first two, there are already five left. There must be something wrong! These buoys are set at different depths and cannot encounter the same ocean currents.
what happened?
Could it have anything to do with the fishing boats outside?
At this time, the third fishing boat had already moved up.
People's luck can be good or bad. Although the third fishing boat set off late, it had a full harvest. When they pulled up the net, there were five of them in it!
This boat belongs to Zheng Guoqiang from the village. He claims to be a descendant of Zheng He, and his ancestors have been floating on the sea. Even if someone occasionally questions him, saying that Zheng He is a father-in-law and has no descendants, he can still look at the other person with a murderous look and let the other person know how wrong this statement is.
Today, Zheng Guoqiang’s eyes showed the same murderous look again.
Why?
The other three boats all had harvests, but for him, except for two rotten fish and shrimps, there was nothing else in the net!
Unfair, unfair!
He was the last one to arrive at the scene, so the three nets in front had already caught everything in the sea, and there was nothing left!
“You all stay away from me, be careful of getting tangled in my net!” Zheng Guoqiang shouted loudly as he passed several other ships.
Three ships have gained something, so they have given up the opportunity.
Zheng Guoqiang's fishing boat followed the strange ship, waiting for an opportunity.
Zheng Guoqiang’s eyes were fixed on the strange ship.
"Continue to lower the buoys." The bearded man had no choice but to give the order. Since all the buoys in front were lost, continuing to lower the buoys was the only way.
So, a group of people on the stern became busy again.
Plop, plop!
Zheng Guoqiang saw it clearly, and felt excited in his heart. He immediately fully opened the throttle and turned the rudder in his hand.
Zheng Guoqiang’s fishing boat left at high speed!
“Oh, damn, stay away from us!” The bearded man looked at the approaching fishing boat and was very annoyed. Why were these fishing boats interested in him?
It's just that the ocean belongs to everyone. As long as the other party doesn't hit it directly, they can't say anything.
When the fishing boat passed by, the report sounded again.
“What was thrown just now is lost again!”
“Damn it!” The bearded captain suddenly reacted: “Those fishing boats took away what we threw into the sea!”
No wonder all the sonobuoys thrown in front were lost. It turned out that they were fished away by fishing boats. If these **** guys don't go to the sea to fish, what are they going to do to fish for the things they threw?
“That’s right, they were indeed taken away by them!”
At this time, the lookout on the strange ship held a telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. He could clearly see that the fishing boat passing behind them started to set up a net. Inside the fishing net was the sonar buoy they had just launched. .
“These **** guys!”
"Captain, should we kill them?" Some people on the strange ship couldn't bear it anymore.
“No, we can’t do that, we don’t have that power.”
“Then let’s ram them.”
“Damn it, do you know how expensive this boat is? Colliding with those fishing boats is a waste of taxpayers’ money!”
“Then what should we do?”
“Who can write Chinese characters? Quick, write a banner!”
“Banner? What to write?”
The bearded captain took a few steps back and forth: "The sonar has no copper, so it's useless to fish for it."
Those fishermen, what are you doing fishing for this? Isn’t it just to sell copper? As long as you tell them that the sonar buoys thrown by our side have no copper and have no value, these fishermen will not fish them.
Soon, the banner was hung on the stern of the strange catamaran, making a rustling sound in the sea breeze.
“What’s written on it?” Lu Hai asked his son.
When Lu Hai was a child, the country had begun to popularize basic education. However, there was no such condition on the island. He had to sail to a larger island to go to school. Lu Hai did not go. It was not until his son was born that he could read and write.
“Sonar has no copper, so fishing for it is useless,” Lu Ming said.
“Humph, it doesn’t matter if he has copper or not, in short, as long as we see it, we have to fish it out! This is the sea area of our motherland, and we must not let them succeed!” Lu Hai said, clenching his fists.
"Yes, Dad, you are right. I will listen to you on what to do next." Lu Ming nodded. He had gone to school and was educated. Now, his heart is full of enthusiasm for defending the motherland. .
“Look, our village’s fishing boat is back!” At this moment, Lu Ming raised his hand and pointed to the sea in the distance.
There are fishing boats returning with full loads again.
This fishing boat stayed far away from the Lu Hai family's boat, for fear of being entangled in the fishing nets dragged behind. The boat's draft was very deep, and it seemed that it was fully loaded.
“Hey, Lao Lu, what are you doing?” fellow villagers asked loudly on the fishing boat in the distance.
This is not a traditional fishing area. There are not many fish in the sea water. If they cast a net here, it will not be enough for their gas money.
"We are fishing for big fish. When you go back, unload the fish from the boat and come and take over from us!" Lu Hai shouted loudly.
Catch a big fish?
Two fishing boats missed. The fellow villagers obviously didn't understand what it meant. However, when they returned to the fishing village, someone would tell them the specific situation, and they would definitely come over by then.
These fishing boats can take turns to rest, but the strange boat in front that is trying to do bad things will not have this time.
"Damn it!" The bearded captain on the strange boat was extremely annoyed: "What are these fishing boats thinking? Do they think what we put down is treasure?"
Now, they no longer dare to let it go. No matter how much they let go, they will be fished out. Moreover, they cannot ask for it from the other side, because those people on the other side will definitely claim that they can fish out anything in the sea at will.
The bearded captain stared at the fishing boats with gloomy eyes. Now he fully understood that these fishing boats were coming towards them and were waiting eagerly.
What can they do?
“If the ship in our hands wasn’t so valuable, I would really want to sink them!” The bearded captain clenched his fists angrily.
“Captain, what do we do now?”
“We’ll just hang on with them until they run out of oil, and they’ll definitely go back.” The bearded captain said.
As the sun set in the west, there was a fiery red afterglow on the sea, and the four fishing boats finally began to return.
“The sunset is red and the mountains are flying, and the soldiers are returning to camp from target practice.” Lu Ming sang a song he learned in school while looking at the setting sun in the west. Under his buttocks sat a salvaged sonar buoy.
Now he is like a hero returning in triumph.
“Damn it, let’s finally go, we will continue working at night.” The bearded captain said.
After a whole day, those guys finally left!
“Oh, damn, Captain, I saw some fishing boats coming!”
Hearing the words, the bearded captain was like a thunderbolt. He ran out of the bridge, climbed onto the mast, stood on it and looked forward. Sure enough, on the sea in the distance, several fishing boats were moving towards this side.
It’s totally out of the question now!
Fishing boats can take over the work, one group leaves, and another group comes, but there is only one strange boat like them, and they always act alone.
"Damn, let's go!" The bearded captain knew he had no choice but to grit his teeth and give the order.
They have no choice but to leave here!
