As the Rising Sun approached, Chen Fusheng had already retrieved the trawl net to the stern.
It was also a large, bulging bag of flat-tailed sea snakes, not much different from their catch.
However, instead of Chen Fusheng hauling in the trawl net, he and his wife stood at the stern, looking worried.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Feng Ye felt a sudden unease and knew he was in trouble.
Seeing this, he realized that Chen Fusheng was probably also stumped by this net of flat-tailed sea snakes and didn't know how to deal with it.
He called out, "Uncle Fusheng, Auntie."
"How did you get here?"
When Chen Fusheng saw Feng Ye and A-Can arriving by boat, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Feng Ye pointed to the stern: "After we moved the trawl net to the stern, we didn't know what to do, so we came to see if you had any ideas?"
"What can I do? I'm having a real problem with it too."
Chen Fusheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I dare to arrest one or two, or even a few more. But this is a whole net. Who would dare to arrest them? Don't they want to die?"
Feng Ye thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Indeed, anyone would have a headache seeing such a net full of flat-tailed sea snakes.
This is no joke; once you get bitten, it's basically a death sentence.
"Then what should we do?"
"I have no other choice."
Chen Fusheng shrugged, looking helpless: "I was thinking that I could make a few thousand yuan from this net."
It seems now that it's very likely there's no way to make that money. Sigh! ..."
He sighed heavily at the end, his face full of worry.
Feng Ye turned around and exchanged a glance with A-Can, his heart heavy with emotion.
It seems that their net of flat-tailed sea snakes is a hot potato, and not easy to handle.
But it would be really hard to just let it go.
That's several thousand dollars!
At this moment, Chen Fusheng's wife said from the side, "Why don't we just release these sea snakes? It's a pity we didn't make any money, but it's better than getting bitten, right?"
"no."
Chen Fusheng immediately rejected the idea.
He thought for a moment: "Just because I can't think of a solution doesn't mean others can't. Ah Ye, let's go see if any of the other ships have any good ideas."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Feng Ye nodded. "If we really let go, I really wouldn't want to."
"Who can argue with that?"
The two ships started moving one after the other, heading towards the nearest ship.
However, they did not get the result they expected.
Having no other options, they had to look for other ships.
Their efforts, though fruitless, did manage to gather all the ships together.
Behind each boat was a bulging bag of flat-tailed sea snakes, and no one dared to pull them onto the boat.
Everyone gathered on a boat, pooling their wisdom and efforts to come up with a solution.
Everyone offered their suggestions and advice, but all of them were quite dangerous and not perfect.
There were so many of these flat-tailed sea snakes, so densely packed, that just looking at them made one's scalp tingle, let alone handling them.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss and fell silent.
Suddenly, someone sighed and said, "It's a pity that none of our ships are equipped with generators, so none of them can generate electricity. Otherwise, stunning these sea snakes would be much easier to deal with."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in dismay.
Feng Ye's eyes lit up.
Yes, you can use electricity!
If you stun the sea snake with an electric shock, you won't have to worry about being bitten, right?
Although they don't have a generator on their ship, it doesn't matter. They can just tow it back to the dock and then run two power lines from Feng Jiafa's shop.
He grew more and more excited as he thought about it, and slapped his thigh: "This is a great idea!"
"What's so good about it? Where will the electricity come from? I've already said there's no generator, so we can't generate electricity."
The person next to him rolled their eyes at him and said irritably.
Feng Ye glanced at the man: "What's the rush? Can't you finish listening?"
"Alright, alright, tell me, let's see what you can come up with."
The person next to him was still somewhat unconvinced.
Feng Ye didn't care about the man's attitude and continued, "We really don't have a generator on our ship, so we can't generate electricity. But once we get back to the dock, we'll have electricity, won't we?"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and exclaimed, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"
They were just temporarily obsessed.
Everyone was only thinking about pulling the trawl nets onto the ship in the open sea and dealing with the flat-tailed sea snakes inside.
None of them thought of simply towing it back to the dock first, and then figuring out how to deal with it.
In truth, even with generators, there's no way to deal with these sea snakes.
The reason is simple: what would they use to contain these sea snakes?
A basket?
Of course not.
It can only be things like net bags or snakeskin bags.
But who would bring so many net bags and snakeskin bags out?
When fishing boats go out to sea, they mainly carry baskets. They only bring a small amount of these rarely used items as a supplement.
The number of sea snakes in the entire net is far from enough.
However, everyone was too excited to realize this yet, including Feng Ye.
"Let's go, let's go back quickly..."
They scattered and returned to their own ships, starting the engines to head back.
Feng Ye and A Can returned to the Rising Sun and lowered the trawl net further into the sea, ensuring it was completely submerged.
This is to ensure that the flat-tailed sea snake can live and not die from being out of the water for too long.
The flat-tailed sea snake is a type of snake that lives in the ocean and has adapted to the aquatic environment.
Although they can leave the water for a short time, they cannot stay out of the water for too long, otherwise they will die.
Of course, they cannot be kept in the water all the time. They must be pulled out of the water about once every hour to allow them to breathe.
Sea snakes have no gills and only one lung, so they must periodically surface to breathe air.
In addition, they can also absorb small amounts of oxygen through the skin.
Under normal circumstances, sea snakes need to surface to breathe about every hour.
However, there are some special cases.
For example, deep-sea sea snakes can hold their breath underwater for longer periods, some up to 2-3 hours.
Even older species of sea snakes, such as the file snake, can go up to 5 hours without surfacing to breathe.
There are also reports that some sea snakes can stay underwater for up to 8 hours.
This difference is likely related to factors such as the species, size, activity habits, and environmental conditions of the sea snake.
They then returned to the cockpit, started the diesel engine, and the Rising Sun slowly began to move.
However, instead of returning, they were going to Island No. 1 first.
Their respective fathers were still there waiting for them to come and cook lunch.
Besides, it was getting late; it was already past 1 p.m., and they must be hungry and getting impatient.
Actually, they were both hungry too.
