Chapter 066 Encountering Difficulties Again
It was a blessing in disguise that Lin Wanxia won the hearts of these captains in advance.
They were already dissatisfied with Zhao Tiezhu, and now it has exploded.
Anyone who has walked on the line of life and death will be bolder than usual.
But it is only limited to complaints.
If Lin Wanxia proposed that she would lead the team in the future, these captains would definitely vote against it.
After all, it was Lin Wanxia's first time to go out to sea.
Who knows if she can catch fish?
Even if you can catch fish, it won't work, Zhao Tiezhu is a ruthless man who will not tolerate betrayal.
Otherwise, if it's just for fishing, which fleet can't you follow?
There are a total of three fleets in dozens of fishing villages in the entire island city.
Originally there were two, and now there is Chen Bin's fleet.
The question is, can Lin Wanxia compare with Chen Bin?
Not to mention that Chen Bin was a soldier and could fight. Even if he couldn't, the Chen family had been fishermen for generations. Chen Bin's grandfather had been a captain, and the family had a big boat.
What about Lin Wanxia?
It was just a second-hand boat that Zhao Tiezhu had broken.
Some of them had even participated in boat-breaking.
Lin Wanxia knew very well what they were thinking, so she accepted their thanks with just a few polite words.
They understood their meaning very well and were very grateful to Lin Wanxia for not giving up on them, but that was just gratitude.
But what Lin Wanxia wanted was their sincere submission, just like Dapeng.
So she was not in a hurry.
After breakfast, Jiang Sinian and the others left first.
"There's a drilling platform not far ahead. I heard that enemy ships have been looking for trouble recently, so I have to go take a look."
Lin Wanxia warned, "Be careful on the road."
"You too. Be sure to pay attention to safety."
Lin Wanxia nodded.
The fishermen were not as fast as Chen Shanhe and his friends in collecting the items, so they were a little late.
In addition, they spent some time inspecting their boats before setting off, and then they set sail again.
When Lin Wanxia arrived at the cabin, she saw Dapeng staring at the instrument panel with a frown.
"What's wrong?"
"The oil is consumed faster than expected."
Their fishing boats mainly rely on diesel engines.
When they go out to sea, they will have enough diesel on board.
But yesterday, the wind and waves were strong, and sailing against the wind not only consumed a lot of fuel, but also when two boats capsized, oil barrels fell into the sea.
The purpose of traveling in a group is to help each other, and everyone gave some diesel to the two captains whose boats capsized.
In this way, there was even less oil on the boat.
Moreover, Dapeng's boat had made one more round trip than the other boats.
Lin Wanxia thought for a while and asked him, "What's the situation on the other boats? How far do the remaining oil support us? Is it enough for the fishing we mentioned yesterday?"
Dapeng shook his head and nodded, "The situation on most of the boats is okay. After all, it's not the first time for everyone to go to sea, so they have a lot of oil. Especially since they are used to going to sea with Zhao Tiezhu, they have to bring more oil. But a small number of people, including me, may not have enough oil.
How should I put it? By the time we talked about yesterday, There are definitely enough fishing spots. But fishing in our fleet is different from fishing as an individual.
If you fish as an individual, you can collect the nets and go home if you come across a school of fish.
But our fleet has so many boats, and each boat needs to catch more than 20 nets of fish.
Unless we catch a certain type of fish migrating or spawning, it is impossible for each of us to have a net at the same time.
Generally, we have to go to several fishing spots to have fish per person.
Moreover, our boats are generally larger. "
The sizes of ships are relative.
On the high seas, they are all small and medium-sized boats.
But compared with Lin Wanxia's broken fishing boat, each one is a big ship.
Lin Wanxia understood what Dapeng meant. People like him who have insufficient diesel reserves can no longer run from fishing spot to fishing spot.
"Then can we discuss that when we get to the fishing spot, let the boats with less diesel reserves fish first, and then those who have finished fishing will wait on this island or go home first."
"How can that be possible?" Dapeng shook his head without thinking, "First of all, the fish school will not listen to our orders, and it is impossible for them to wait here for us to divide them. Whoever grabs the fish will get it. Secondly, if whoever catches the fish goes first, what is the point of the fleet? If
they are separated, what if the fleet is small or not large enough to encounter pirates or fishing boats from other countries? There will be casualties if there is a conflict."
Lin Wanxia was worried by what Dapeng said, it sounded like an unsolvable math problem.
As expected, there are many things to do when there are too many people.
However, no solution can stop Lin Wanxia who has a golden finger.
She waved her hand and said, "Let's go first."
She didn't need to spend too much energy to pass through the intimate sea area.
Lin Wanxia quietly felt the information the sea conveyed to her.
On the way to the fishing spot, she gave orders every now and then.
"Fifty meters to the left, cast the net from the nearest boat. A single net is enough."
"Forty-five degrees in front of the right, double nets, quick!"
"The last boat turns around on the spot and casts all the nets!"
"..."
Lin Wanxia was at the helm, and Sun Dapeng signaled to the boats behind.
When Lin Wanxia gave the first order, Captain Liu should have cast the net, but he didn't react.
After reacting, he reluctantly cast the net, but he was a beat late, and only one-third of the fish were caught in the net.
Captain Liu was stunned.
The other captains were also stunned.
They were all experienced old fishermen.
They couldn't tell that there were fish in that place.
Of course, they could occasionally see fish passing by, but experience had taught them that such fish did not travel in schools.
In fact, it was true. After Captain Liu had caught one-third of the net, he cast the net again and it was empty.
When Lin Wanxia gave the second order, Captain Wang was the closest.
Captain Wang felt that he owed Lin Wanxia his life, so he cast the net without hesitation even though he didn't think there would be any fish.
He wanted to set a good example for Lin Wanxia.
Captain Wang, Captain Cui, and Captain Zhang, the three ships were not far away, and they always fished together.
When the other two ships saw Captain Wang casting the net, they followed suit.
After the nets were pulled up, it was amazing that Captain Wang had two full nets of fish. Captain Cui had very few fish in his net, and Captain Zhang had an empty net.
All the captains were dumbfounded.
They didn't understand why this happened.
How did Lin Wanxia know that there were schools of fish passing by there?
How did he calculate so accurately?
So accurate that there would be no fish if he left that place.
The captain, who reacted quickly, looked at Sun Dapeng.
No wonder Grandpa Sun allowed his grandson to follow Lin Wanxia.
No wonder Dapeng obeyed Lin Wanxia's orders.
All the captains told their boatmen at the same time: "When you see the flag signal that we are setting the net, act immediately."
