What exactly did he forget?
While Bai Yu was chatting with the captain, he kept thinking about this problem, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how long he thought about it. He wondered what he had forgotten.
It wasn't until they started talking about how many king crabs the goose farm could catch each year during the crab season that Bai Hao suddenly realized...
Where are my crab traps? The yacht has already set sail, have you retrieved the crab traps yet? Could they have been lost?
"Damn it, Captain, have we brought in all our crab traps and fishing lines?"
Thinking of this, Bai Yu immediately asked the captain next to her, wanting to get the answer she wanted from him.
Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, the captain looked at Bai Yu with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Mr. Bai, didn't you come from the deck? Look, Mr. Li and the others are cleaning crab traps on the deck. Look at this surveillance camera, there are quite a few people working on the deck."
The captain did not answer the question, but a crew member pointed to the monitor screen in the corner and spoke to Bai Yu.
The captain and crew initially thought that Bai Yu had come from the deck to ask them where they were now and how long it would take to reach the Bering Strait.
But who could have known that Bai Yu woke up in his room and went straight to the cockpit without even glancing at the deck?
Bai Yu sensed the yacht was moving, so he came over to check on it. The sea breeze was howling on the deck, and it was so cold. He wouldn't go to the deck unless he had something to do.
It is because of these reasons that the current result has occurred, resulting in a slight misunderstanding.
Five minutes later, Bai Yu learned the whole story: it was Li Shuang who had asked them to start the boat.
This guy got up an hour before Bai Yu woke up, and then he organized a group of staff and security personnel who were still awake and on duty to start collecting the recycling net.
These crab traps have been soaking in the sea for five or six hours now, and it's almost time to retrieve them and see what's inside.
They only retrieved the nets, and once all the crab traps and fishing lines were brought in, he let the captain set sail.
We can take our time cleaning the catch; there's no rush. The next step is for Baiyu to wake up.
Bai Yu then left the cockpit and walked towards the deck. He wanted to check on the crab traps, especially the ten large ones.
"Shuangzi, you're up pretty early! Getting up so early to collect the crab traps, how's the harvest?"
Bai Yu came to the deck and walked straight toward Li Shuang.
"Brother Yu, you're awake too! Don't even mention it. I was sleeping so well, but then I suddenly woke up and couldn't fall back asleep."
As for the harvest, I think it's about the same as yesterday, not much different, the quantity is about the same.
As Li Shuang spoke, she pointed to the crab trap on her nail.
The harvest from these crab traps can only be described as average, even worse than yesterday's harvest.
Although, as Li Shuang said, the number of crabs was about the same as yesterday, there was one difference: yesterday's harvest consisted of more king crabs and fewer snow crabs.
Today, the situation is reversed: the number of snow crabs has increased, while the number of king crabs has decreased.
However, between these two types of crabs, it is clear that the king crab is more valuable, while the snow crab is cheaper.
In that case, today's harvest will be far less than yesterday's.
The same goes for those ten enormous crab traps. These are made of pure metal, each one measuring four meters wide and more than half a meter high.
It took Li Shuang and his team a lot of effort just to get these crab traps out of the sea. They used winches to drag them and then cranes to lift them up.
Unfortunately, the harvest from these last few crab traps wasn't ideal, as the number of king crabs was limited.
When Bai Yu and the others arrived on the deck, Li Shuang and the others had almost finished cleaning the crab traps, so he didn't help but watch from the side for a while.
Bai Yu could only hope that he might encounter crabs in the Bering Strait, especially the kind he had seen online, where a single crab trap could catch one or two hundred crabs.
After Li Shuang and the others cleaned up all the crab traps, Bai Yu and the others went back to the cabin. It was too cold on the deck; the cabin was much warmer.
They arrived at the Bering Strait around dawn local time, so that they could set off the crab traps they had prepared once they reached the strait.
Bai Yu and the others also started their warm-up activities in the cabin, which can be simply described as exercising.
No matter what, Bai Yu is a top athlete. Even if he doesn't plan to participate in any competitions in the first half of this year, he still needs to do some training.
In particular, they now have a group of security personnel on board. These people are even more capable than Bai Yu. Apart from some necessary duty personnel and those who go to the deck when setting or taking down crab traps, they spend the rest of their time working out in the gym.
Even Bai Yu, a professional athlete, was terrified by the intensity of the training; it was simply too much.
After all, Bai Yu is a long-distance runner; he only needs to train his legs.
When Bai Yu arrived at the gym this time, he saw several security personnel lifting weights.
To be honest, these guys are really something else. Keep in mind they're on a ship right now, heading towards the Bering Strait, where the seas are anything but calm.
But these people seemed completely unaffected by the occasional swaying of the sea, continuing their training as usual.
As for Bai Yu, he only comes to the gym to run and play with 15-kilogram dumbbells; he really can't do anything else.
As for running, as long as Bai Yu has time, the starting distance is 20 kilometers. In addition to the distance, he also has to finish the run within a specified time.
Running like that once a day is about enough for him to get some exercise.
In fact, whether it's training or using crab traps to catch king crabs, these are things that Bai Yu can accomplish through his physical strength or willpower.
However, there is one thing that Bai Yu cannot do, and that is the time difference issue on the Bering Strait side.
To be precise, it wasn't really a time difference issue. Rather, as Bai Yu and his group got closer to the Bering Strait, Bai Yu noticed a problem.
That means the sky has stopped moving, maintaining the same brightness level!
When Bai Yu came to the deck, the sky was just like it was evening at home, when the sun had already set but it wasn't dark yet.
However, five or six hours have passed, and Bai Yu and the others have already come out of the gym. They have reached the Bering Strait area, but only the outermost edge.
The sky on the deck is still five or six hours dark, with not a ray of sunlight in sight, but it just won't get dark.
Although it wasn't completely dark yet, the lights on the yacht had been on for a long time; to be precise, they hadn't been turned off since last night.
"Brother Yu, do you think this phenomenon is called polar night?"
Li Shuang and the others stood on the deck, looking at the sky that was neither completely dark nor completely obscured, and asked...
"I'm not too sure either, but it seems like we've lost our jet lag. With this kind of weather, who can tell what time it is?"
Forget it, let's wait until we find a place where the sun rises and sets normally every day before worrying about jet lag. Let's get down to the crab traps and get to work!
Bai Yu glanced at the sky and shook his head as he spoke.
Beforehand, he planned to adjust to the time difference, even if it was just for an hour or two each day, so that they wouldn't have to adjust to the time difference once they arrived in Alaska.
But given the current situation, let's forget about it. In this state, it's impossible to tell what time it is just by looking at the sky.
So instead of thinking about all that nonsense, they might as well get the job done now. They've reached the Bering Strait and can start casting crab traps again.
According to Bai Yu's own thinking, if the Bering Strait were to be compared to the capital, Bai Yu and his group would only be active in the fourth or fifth ring road, or even the outermost areas.
As for the central area, it was initially within Bai Yu's plan, but it has now been excluded because the Arctic ice has melted. The closer they get to the central area, the more large ice floes there will be, which will be more dangerous for Bai Yu and his yacht.
So for their own safety, it's best if they don't go to the central area.
Their current location is also quite significant; according to the coordinates, it belongs to a fishing ground in the Bering Strait, specifically a cod fishing ground.
This was told to them by Hengke. Although this vice president made a lot of money every year using Bai Yu's company's king crab quota, he didn't share any of the profits with Bai Yu's company.
But this time, they were really generous. Knowing that Bai Yu and his group were there to experience catching king crabs, they not only prepared several crab traps for them, but also provided them with a lot of coordinates.
These coordinates represent various regions, including the inner and outer areas of the Bering Strait, different fishing grounds, and some more dangerous areas.
These dangers are varied and numerous, not just the danger of floating ice, but also various ocean currents and waves, all of which Hengke has marked.
The area they are in now is a cod fishing ground, but they came here not to fish for cod, but to catch king crabs.
As for why they came to the cod fish farm to catch king crabs, the white fisherman didn't know the reason. Anyway, according to Hengke, the seabed here is also a gathering area for king crabs and snow crabs.
However, there is one thing to be aware of when setting crab traps here: the seabed is not flat, but has cracks.
If Bai Yu and his companions are not careful, or if they are unlucky, they could easily set the crab trap into the crack.
These cracks vary in size, but without exception, if a crab trap falls into one of them, it's basically ruined.
So if Bai Yu and the others are going to set crab traps, they really need to be a little careful and try to have some good luck.
As the yacht gradually slowed down, Bai Yu and his three companions, each carrying a bucket, went up to the cabin to begin their work.
