The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded Chapter 245

  Chapter 245 Giant King Crab

  But Chu Mingcheng didn't let Noah know about the fact that Chu Mingcheng disliked five tons less. If he knew, he would definitely scold him for being greedy.

   King crabs are only found in Australia, and the annual output is very rare, only dozens or hundreds of tons, which is completely different from king crabs that can easily reach tens of thousands of tons.

   Therefore, his share of five tons is already very large.

   You must know that under normal circumstances, there are a total of 25 companies in Australia competing for the share of dozens or hundreds of tons.

Noah suddenly thought of a big thing: "OHNO! Cheng, I'm sorry I didn't rent a crab boat for you, but there is also a crane on this fishing boat. We can buy some smaller crab pots and they can still be pulled up. . If you don't think it's possible, then I'll help you rent a crabbing boat?”

   Fishing king crabs is the same as fishing king crabs. You just throw the big crab pots into the water, wait for a while, and then collect the crab pots.

  How much you gain depends purely on whether the position you find is good or not.

But to pull the crab cage up, you need to use a winch. Noah thought that the rent of his friend's boat was cheap, and Chu Mingcheng himself said that he wanted a fishing boat, so he didn't think too much about it. He didn't notice it until he bought the crab cage. this problem.

   "No, this boat is fine. I am strong enough to pull up the crab pots with the crane." Chu Mingcheng waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

   The crab cage should be smaller. It will not be difficult for him to pull it up with the crane with his current strength.

  Noah sighed again: "Oh, the crab cage is too small, we may need to spend more time and money."

   "It's okay, I have a quick way to catch king crabs." Chu Mingcheng was referring to his own diving ability.

  When he was in China, he tried diving at a depth of 200 meters and stayed there for more than an hour.

  Normal scuba divers still have to slowly adapt to the water pressure when they return to the surface. Chu Mingcheng doesn't need it at all. He can withstand most of the water pressure by swimming freely, allowing him to swim to the surface quickly.

  Based on the current weather, most emperor crabs will survive in waters with a water depth of about 120 meters. This depth is not a problem for him at all.

   It's nothing more than slowing down when coming up, so that the king crabs have a process of adapting to the water pressure.

  Combined with crab pots, the five-ton quota is believed to be full soon.

  So he doesn't need to spend extra money to change a crab boat, the rent will make him feel very uneconomical.

  After Chu Mingcheng personally applied for the fishing license and got the king crab share, Noah felt that he was a very energetic person.

   Therefore, the other party refused to change the ship. Although he was a little strange, he would not pursue it to the end.

  There was enough rest time in Melbourne. After getting the fishing license and the king crab share, Chu Mingcheng asked Noah to drive them to the pier that night.

  The boat that Noah rented is a second-class fishing boat, which is completely capable of surfing everywhere in the Bass Strait, as long as there is no strong wind.

  However, if there is special bad weather, the local meteorological station will broadcast in advance so that all ships at sea will dock, so there is no need to worry about it.

  This ship is 16 meters long, with three rooms and a large bunk.

   Fortunately, there is a captain's bedroom. Jiang Luoluo put the newly bought quilt on it, and the two of them will sleep here at night.

  The fuel tank of the ship is 2,000 liters, the battery life is about 40 hours, the maximum speed is 20 knots, and the economic speed is 15 knots.

  There is a seawater desalination machine on board, so Chu Mingcheng bought a few buckets of mineral water for eating and drinking this time, and prepared food for three days by the way.

  After he boarded the boat, he looked at the fuel tank, and there was only about 300 liters of fuel, so he had to call an oil truck to come over and fill up the boat.

  Melbourne's oil price has skyrocketed this year, and it is currently 2.07 Australian dollars per liter, which is much more outrageous than that in China.

  Adding oil directly cost Chuming City more than 3,400 Australian dollars.

   There are also ten crab pots, which cost him 2,000 Australian dollars.

  The 50,000 Australian dollars originally exchanged are now only 13,000 Australian dollars.

  At this moment, he misses the domestic diesel boats very much. The cost of going to sea is too high for this kind of gasoline boat.

   Waved goodbye to Noah, Chu Mingcheng started the fishing boat, warmed up the engine and set off.

  Holding the emperor crab distribution area map given by the fishery administration, he selected a place closest to Melbourne after confirming it on the navigation.

  If there are many emperor crabs in this water area, then he doesn't need to go farther.

  Unlike fish, emperor crabs cannot be found with a fish finder. They will hide in rock crevices, motionless like stones.

  Chu Mingcheng doesn't know whether the most advanced fish finder can detect them, and has never used it, but this ship's fish finder cannot detect them.

  So he can only find it according to the distribution map given by the fishery administration, and dive to check the situation.

  Fortunately, the fresh water for bathing on the boat is only useful, and it doesn't need to be the same as Chu Mingcheng's own boat. You need to pay attention to the fresh water in the water tank.

  If that boat runs out of fresh water after diving too much, there is no way to take a bath.

   More than four hours later, the fishing boat arrived at its destination.

  The nearest distribution area of ​​king crab on the map is more than 60 nautical miles away from Melbourne.

  It is more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it is still early. Chu Mingcheng asked Jiang Luoluo to stay in the cab, and first launched the ten small crab cages on the boat.

  A crab pot can catch about 50 catties of king crabs, and the crab pot itself weighs 80 catties. Fortunately, he is strong enough now, and there is no problem pulling it up with the small crane on the boat.

   Then he put on the diving suit again, ready to go to the water to see the situation.

   Judging from the fish finder, the water depth here is more than 130 meters, and there should be king crabs.

  Jiang Luoluo naturally didn't know that Chu Mingcheng could dive 200 meters.

  She thought that he was going to catch lobsters in some nearby waters, so she purposely sailed the boat close to the waters whose depth was only more than 30 meters.

  Chu Mingcheng did not stop her from sailing, nor did he intend to tell her that he could dive into the deep sea.

  Because the world record for free diving is only 120 meters deep, it is better not to mention that he can dive 200 meters.

  Jumped into the water, Chu Mingcheng plunged into the water immediately, and swam to the position of the crab cage.

   On the fish finder, a thick red line immediately appeared.

   It was just that Jiang Luoluo was watching a TV series with his tablet in his arms, so he didn't notice it at all.

   She is very assured of Chu Mingcheng's potential for freedom now, so she rarely keeps staring at it like before.

   But she'll check it out in a little while.

  Therefore, Chu Mingcheng also had to pay attention to the time and not stay at the bottom of the water for too long.

  The flashlight shone in the water, and the surroundings were pitch black, and only the sound of running water could be heard in the ears.

  If people with deep-sea phobia are here, they may be scared out of their wits.

   But Chu Mingcheng was used to it, and he could tell his own position very well, and found the rope of the crab cage.

   Then he dived quickly along the rope, and in just two minutes, he came to the bottom of the water.

  The underwater sediment and reefs are distributed, Chu Mingcheng swam around the crab cage, and was pleasantly surprised to find a very big emperor crab crawling on the sand.

  Emperor crabs are worth more than five catties, and those that are too small are not allowed to be caught.

   And this emperor crab weighs more than ten kilograms at first glance, and the crab legs are as big as a washbasin.

  When it sensed his arrival, the king crab slowly raised its right claw, as if threatening him.

  The king crab's claws are one big and one small, and this big claw is as thick as his current arm.

   But it moves very slowly, getting up as slowly as the old man.

  Chu Mingcheng immediately swam behind it, stretched out his hands to grab its back shell, and then swam towards the crab pot.

  When he came to the crab cage, he found that the bait in the crab cage had attracted some deep-sea fish. When he came over, these fish suddenly dispersed and ran away.

  Chu Mingcheng didn't care about these fish. He opened the door of the crab cage, picked up the emperor crab on the sand again, stuffed it in and closed it.

   This is the role of the crab cage, which is convenient for him to dive and catch king crabs.

  If you have to swim back to the surface every time you catch a king crab, it will not only be tiring, but also time-consuming.

   Successfully acquired at least 500 Australian dollars, and Chu Mingcheng's motivation also came.

  He continued to swim far away, looking for king crabs.

   After a while, he found an emperor crab again on the sand, but unfortunately it was only a little small, and the shell on its back seemed to be the size of a plate.

   I don't know if it weighs five catties, so Chu Mingcheng grabbed him with one hand, didn't go back, and continued to search.

   Then, under a rock, he found an emperor crab about the size of his hand.

   This is only a little difficult to catch, Chu Mingcheng can't sneak up on it from behind.

  Looking at the emperor crab in his hand, his eyes lit up.

   Putting down the emperor crab in his hand, he grabbed the crab's two pincers with both hands, and then he stretched the large pincers into the rock crevice for the emperor crab inside to pinch.

  The emperor crab inside was immediately aroused fiercely, and the two pincers clamped it randomly.

   Soon, the emperor crab inside clamped the claws of the emperor crab that Chu Mingcheng protruded in. At the same time, the emperor crab in his hand also tightened its claws, pinching each other.

   Taking this opportunity, he immediately pulled out the emperor crab inside, and then grabbed an emperor crab with both hands and went back.

  When Chu Mingcheng returned to the position of the first crab cage, he unexpectedly discovered that there was an emperor crab attracted by the bait outside the crab cage.

   This one is even bigger than the emperor crab in the crab cage, it is estimated to weigh more than fifteen catties.

  It wanted to eat the bait, but unfortunately it couldn't find the right entrance, so it was anxiously crawling around outside.

  When Chu Mingcheng came over, it was frightened immediately, quickly raised its pincers and began to retreat.

  He didn't catch the emperor crab right away, but put the two in his hand into the crab cage first, and then went over to catch the emperor crab that escaped slowly and stuffed it into the crab cage.

  The crab cage is a bit small. After the emperor crab was stuffed in, the several emperor crabs in the crab cage were all squeezed together, and there was no room for movement at all.

  These four emperor crabs add up to almost forty catties, but two small ones can be stuffed in the corner, but Chu Mingcheng ignored this crab pot, and came to the second crab pot.

  The distance between each crab cage was about twenty meters, and Chu Mingcheng searched for a while before finding it.

  The appearance of this crab cage made him a little helpless. It happened to fall on a somewhat round reef, and then slipped and stood upright on the sand, causing the entrance to be pressed down, and the other entrance crabs could not enter.

   If he didn't come, no matter how many king crabs there are outside the crab cage, they will have to air force.

  He first arranged the crab cage, and then went to look for the emperor crab.

  The next moment, he spat out a few bubbles, and if there was someone nearby, he could hear him saying "Fuck".

  Because in front of him there is a huge king crab, which is as big as a bathtub.

  Although he didn't break the record of 72 catties, he definitely weighed more than 40 kg. This is the result of his conservative estimation.

  Chu Mingcheng swam over immediately and lifted the emperor crab up.

  It was a little heavy in the hand, because he was not sure about the exact weight at the bottom of the water, so he carried the king crab and began to swim slowly to the surface.

   Such a big king crab can't fit in the crab cage.
