Chapter 285： The legs are four meters long

Chapter 285 The legs are four meters long

After returning to the boat, Chu Mingcheng drove the boat out of the waters.

It took about half an hour, and he came to a water with a depth of 200 meters.

Basically, most tuna do not dive very deep, and the water layer where they are most active is between 100 meters and 200 meters.

Chu Mingcheng did not stop immediately, but first put down the crab pots and shrimp pots on the boat, and then found a suitable location based on the fish finder.

Inform Chen Yang who is following him to put all the fishing lights on the boat into the water with him, hoping to attract tuna.

After all the fish lure lights were put down, Chu Mingcheng did not return to the cab to observe the fish finder, waiting for the big fish to come.

Instead, went to the forecastle to see how the ambergris was doing after the weather.

As a result, he found that the change of ambergris was quite large.

Originally, this thing was like a wax block, the surface was slightly smooth, and it gave off this unpleasant stench.

Now it is almost impossible to smell the smell, unless it is on the nostrils.

The place that was originally smooth has also become very rough, looking more like a stone, but they can still float.

Today is cloudy, the molecular changes are not fast enough, and the seawater in the box has been soaked for several days, so he fished out the ambergris and put it on the deck to dry.

The seawater in the box was replaced, and after the ambergris was dried, he looked at the follow-up situation and decided whether to continue soaking in the sun.

After washing his hands, Chu Mingcheng returned to the cab, chatted with Chen Yang and Zhang Wei, and waited for the big fish to come by the way.

After an hour, there was no trace of tuna, but a group of unknown fish came and dangled at the bottom of the water.

Fisherman, you can catch any fish, and you don’t have to wait for tuna.

So they didn't wait any longer, and each came out with a fishing rod, installed it at the stern of the boat and started fishing for deep-sea fish.

He just threw the hook bait into the water when he heard the sound of the propeller. He turned his head and saw Chen Yang and Zhang Wei coming in a rubber boat.

The two men brought up the fishing tackle, and there were two large fish boxes.

The rubber boat is tied to the Poseidon with ropes to prevent it from being washed away by the waves.

Chu Mingcheng was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm afraid you will be lonely, so go fishing with me!" Zhang Wei laughed while holding a fishing rod.

Looking at Chen Yang, he seemed to mean the same thing, Chu Mingcheng immediately rolled his eyes: "Go, go, I need you two big men to accompany me?"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, and of course sent a video link to Jiang Luoluo.

Soon, a beautiful face appeared on the phone screen, smiling sweetly: "Ah Cheng, did you rest so early today?"

"No, I'm still fishing. I just miss you and want to talk to you!" Chu Mingcheng glanced at the stunned two and said proudly.

"I miss you too, but just wait a little longer, I'll go over to accompany you when I'm done here." Jiang Luoluo didn't know that there were two men who were shocked by Chu Mingcheng's operation, so the voice when speaking Much softer than normal.

Chen Yang: "This is a real dog!"

Zhang Wei: "Isn't it? I lived for thirty years to meet this kind of bitch!"

"Hey, Acheng, is there anyone next to you?" Jiang Luoluo heard the two talking, which caught her attention.

Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "No one, but there are two dogs."

"Dog?" Jiang Luoluo was even more surprised, "Aren't you at sea, where did you get the dog? No, I clearly heard voices."

Chu Mingcheng nodded seriously: "Yes, they are two talking single dogs!"

"Uh, Awei and Ayang!" Jiang Luoluo reacted immediately and smiled.

Zhang Wei couldn't take it anymore: "Fuck him?"

Chen Yang rolled up his sleeves: "Fight!"

As soon as the words fell, a strong force hit him from behind, and he was pushed staggeringly, and came in front of Chu Mingcheng.

Chen Yang's pupils were shocked, he looked at Chu Mingcheng who had malicious eyes, and then turned his head in grief and indignation: "How dare you betray our friendship."

Zhang Weili said bluntly: "I can't do it, I admit defeat, it is you who have to fight."

"It's so cheap!" Chu Mingcheng sighed.

Chen Yang was shivering, these two guys are too stupid, he can't play with an honest person!

Because Chu Mingcheng's mobile phone was facing the scene, Jiang Luoluo on the other end was amused by this sudden "sketch" and let out a goose cry.

This laughter brought the three of them back to seriousness.

Chu Mingcheng coughed twice, and said, "Daughter-in-law, be more reserved, they both heard it."

Jiang Luoluo managed to stop laughing, and said, "Then for my image, why don't you kill people and then destroy the corpse?"

"No, you should be in the sea, then there is no need to destroy the corpse, just throw it into the sea and feed the fish!"

Chu Mingcheng was stunned, then nodded: "It makes sense!"

"You make sense, my sister!" Chen Yang immediately pointed out three fingers to Jiang Luoluo, "Sister-in-law, after you come to Shanghai, I will treat you to dinner three times!"

"Okay, this will be your life fee!" Jiang Luoluo raised his chin, very satisfied with his self-consciousness.

Then, several people looked at Zhang Wei.

He was "shuddered" by the sight, gritted his teeth, and immediately grabbed the fish-killing knife in the toolbox.

Chu Mingcheng frowned: "You still dare to resist? Do you think you have a chance of winning with a knife?" As he spoke, he pulled out a stick out of nowhere.

Zhang Wei shook his head: "No, I'm poor recently, so is it okay to have a waist as an apology?"

"Pfft ha ha ha ha" Jiang Luoluo couldn't hold back anymore, she was sitting on the sofa laughing and staggering, "You guys are so funny, why don't you perform sketches in the Spring Festival Gala in the future! The current Spring Festival Gala is not as interesting as you."

Zhang Wei put the fish-killing knife back with a smile: "Last year's Spring Festival Gala was still very good, and the round PP was in front of the TV."

Everyone: "."

After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Luoluo hung up the video, no longer affecting the few people fishing.

The three people fish in three directions, without affecting each other.

Not long after the bait was put down, there was movement, but today Zhang Wei had better luck, as he caught the first fish first.

He quickly pressed the button, and the fishing line was collected very quickly.

"I feel that the fish is not very big, and the line is collected a bit fast."

In just two minutes, the fish at the bottom were pulled up.

Zhang Wei saw that the fish was really not big, and the fish pulled up from the deep sea had lost much vitality, so he directly grabbed the fishing line with both hands and pulled it up.

The back of this fish is red to purple, but the belly of the fish is pink. It looks a bit like a silver carp, but its body is much slender.

The one Zhang Wei caught was about three to four catties. Although it wasn't big, it wasn't small either.

Chu Mingcheng came over to take a look, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a purple sea bream. The price is good. The market price can sell for five or sixty-one catties."

"Only five or sixty-one catties?" Hearing that the price was good, Zhang Wei was quite looking forward to it, but in the end the price was only fifty or sixty, and his face immediately turned pale.

"Could it be that he's drifting away, and he still hates it when he's fifty or sixty?" Chu Mingcheng immediately patted the back of his head and cursed with a smile.

Chen Yang answered next to him: "It is estimated that I have seen too many high-priced fish. This kind of fish that costs tens of yuan a catty feels very cheap."

Zhang Wei nodded: "I've seen too many precious fish, so it's a bit of an influence."

"The price of this fish is indeed not that high, but the quality of the meat is good. It is red meat like tuna, and the sashimi tastes very good." After Chu Mingcheng explained, he returned to his side, because he also Fish caught.

But the fish also caught him by surprise. No wonder Zhang Wei was the first to take the bait after turning on the fish gathering function.

Because this fish is not a high-quality fish, it will not be affected by the function of gathering fish.

After a short meeting, he brought up a five-pound one. Not to be outdone, Chen Yang also brought up a four-five-pound one.

There are quite a few fish schools at the bottom of the water, and after each of the three caught the first fish, they kept connecting rods.

The fishing continued until eleven o'clock at night when the fish dispersed. Only Chu Mingcheng caught two additional groupers, and the remaining two caught purple bream.

However, they all gained a lot. The three of them each caught two boxes full of fish. The quantity was about the same, and the difference was the size of the fish.

It took Chen Yang and Zhang Wei two trips to transport all the fish back to the White Dragon, and they also took away two foam boxes from Chuming City.

After the two left, he also carried the box full of fish into the refrigerated compartment, and then collected the poles and went back to wash and sleep.

Backing back to the bedroom, after another phone call with Jiang Luoluo, Chu Mingcheng lay on the bed, feeling as though he hadn't noticed something for a while.

He remembered that there was a very rare fish in the East China Sea, which seemed to be produced on the continental shelf.

I couldn't remember the name of the fish for a while, so I picked it up and looked it up online.

After searching for a long time, suddenly a fish with a brown back appeared on the screen of the phone. His eyes lit up and he found it.

After knowing the name of the fish, he immediately looked up the geographical location where the fish lived, and he knew it was in the waters near Ryukyu.

Originally, Chu Mingcheng planned to delay another day, take Zhang Wei and the others to catch tuna or other large fish, and then leave to catch the kind of fish they found yesterday.

As a result, when I got up to collect the crab pot in the morning, I accidentally caught a surprising aquatic creature, the giant crab.

The leg span of this crab can reach 4.2 meters, which looks very huge.

Unfortunately, the thirteen ones that Chu Mingcheng caught were not very big, so he specially measured the largest one among them.

The length of the shell is only 23 centimeters, the leg span is 1.5 meters, and the weight is 13 catties.

Giant crab is also called killer crab. The origin of this name does not mean that it can kill people, but it is a common name given to it because of its scary appearance.

But for friends who like to eat crabs, it really kills people and makes them greedy.

Chu Mingcheng was lucky enough to catch thirteen this time.

Because giant crabs can survive in waters at a depth of 1,000 meters, his crab cage last night was only 200 meters deep, and the chance of encountering them under normal circumstances is very low.

But this made Chu Mingcheng understand that there is a high possibility of some extremely valuable aquatic products in the deep sea.

His current diving record is more than 300 meters, but judging from that time, more than 300 meters is far from his limit.

Now that Jiang Luoluo is not around, he seems to be able to do something.

Yesterday, when he was looking for a water area suitable for tuna fishing, he found a water area with a depth of more than 600 meters, which was connected to this water area.

As for whether the place farther away is deeper, he has not gone to see it for the time being.

But giant crabs tend to congregate when they molt, so he might be able to catch a lot if he does.

The price of this crab is not low, the live frozen one can reach two hundred one catty, and the fresh one can reach five hundred yuan per catty.

The price is so high mainly because it is rare in the market.

This is not because of its scarcity, but because the giant crab lives in too deep waters, and its whereabouts are uncertain, so it is extremely difficult to catch, so its number in the market is relatively small.

The fishermen in the East China Sea are only lucky to catch some crabs occasionally, and there are no special crab boats to catch this kind of crabs.

But in fact, there are quite a few of this kind of crabs. Although they will not flood, you can occasionally find a large group.

Now that this kind of crab has been caught, Chu Mingcheng decided to cancel the original plan and catch some crabs in this sea area first.

It is rare to meet, it would be a pity not to catch it.

As for the fish found yesterday, they live in a fixed sea area, and there is a great possibility of finding them in the past, so there is nothing wrong with being late.

Put these killer crabs into the living water tank and turn on the oxygen.

When Zhang Wei and Chen Yang woke up and knew that Chu Mingcheng had caught these strange-looking but extremely expensive crabs, they immediately slapped their thighs regretfully.

They didn’t prepare deep-sea crab cages when they went out to sea, and even if they encountered them now, they couldn’t catch them.

In the end, they could only vent their depression on the fish. They searched for fish very hard during the day, and they found several large tuna.

It was five bigeye tuna weighing more than 300 catties. In the end, two people caught one and they fished for more than four hours.

By the time this fish came up, the other tuna had already disappeared.

Fortunately, seeing that they were having such a difficult time fishing in Chuming City, they kindly helped them out and caught two of them within four hours.

In order to conceal his strength, he also deliberately used an electric winch.

Both Zhang Wei and Chen Yang were speechless. The two of them worked so hard that they only caught one fish.

Chu Mingcheng looked alive and well, but he caught two.

But the fish will run away if they don’t catch them, so of course they won’t talk about snatching fish, unless they are willing to spend the cost and keep making nests to keep the fish.

The day passed quickly, and night came.

Chu Mingcheng purposely drove the boat to a water area 450 meters deep. Originally, he wanted to go to a deeper place, but the rope was not long enough.

After night fishing, he didn't wash and sleep like yesterday, but sat in the living room and waited for the lights of the White Dragon to turn off.

Beside him is a wetsuit, headlamp, dive torch, and spear.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the lights of the White Dragon were turned off.

Chu Mingcheng immediately changed into a diving suit, put on a headlamp, took a spear and a flashlight, and went to the rear deck and gently entered the water.

It's actually not very far from where he was last night, only about three kilometers.

With Chu Mingcheng's full speed, it only takes seven or eight minutes to get there. His speed in the water is quite fast now.

After entering the water, he turned on the flashlight, then first swam to the position last night, and gradually dived.

The diving watch has a compass function, so you are not afraid of getting lost.

It was dark all around, and it was empty and scary.

Under this environment, Chu Mingcheng dived to the bottom very quickly. He broke his own diving record again, and now the diving depth is 416 meters.

But the water pressure at this depth is still easy for him to adapt to. Judging from the current situation, he does have the potential to become a sea king.

But he met Jiang Luoluo, and he was her first man, so he couldn't bear to let him down.

When Chu Mingcheng came to the bottom of the water, he didn't immediately go to the place where he caught the giant crab yesterday, but first took a look at the surrounding environment.

Unsurprisingly, the bottom of the water is a sand bed.

But the sand bed is not empty, but some aquatic plants only 30 to 40 centimeters long.

The aquatic plants are not dense, so the situation at the bottom of the water is clear at a glance, and there is no discovery for the time being.

He confirmed the direction, and then swam to the location where he caught the crab last night.

After swimming for about 500 meters, he found through the diving watch that the height here has risen by more than 60 meters, and the current depth is 353 meters.

Secondly, he saw the carcass of an unknown fish in front of him.

The fish is not too big, only about 40 to 50 centimeters, and the fish meat on its body is slowly floating due to the current.

But this is not the point, the point is that a group of crawfish gathered around the fish.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a group of East China Sea crayfish.

A kind of local langoustine that is much cheaper, but not inferior in taste to New Zealand langoustine.

He wandered around and found that this is the territory of langoustine, many of which are hiding in the sand, only revealing a head and long pincers.

Sure enough, the deep sea is full of treasures, and you can find money just by wandering around.

It seems that he will not be able to catch fish in the future, so he can dive more and wander around the deep sea.

Chu Mingcheng went back resolutely, found his five shrimp pots, and brought the shrimp pots to the crawfish's territory.

Going around just now, he already knew the dense places of langoustine, so the five shrimp pots were originally placed next to these dense places.

I believe that the smell from the bait inside can attract a large number of langoustine.

But fortunately, it was at night. If it was daytime, Zhang Wei or Chen Yang accidentally discovered that the floats on the water surface were moving, and they probably wondered if they were acting weird.

Chu Mingcheng, who put away the shrimp pot, continued to set off. After a few minutes, he didn't know whether he had arrived at his destination.

Occasionally, along the way, a giant crab can be found, but they are all dead crabs, and the inside is empty.

Behind him, he found two moving ones, but they were too small to interest him at all.

But this also shows that giant crabs have indeed been active in this waters.

After a lap, no large number of crabs were found, which made Chu Mingcheng suspect that it was luck to catch the crabs yesterday, maybe just happened to meet a small group of giant crabs that were migrating?

But for the specific situation, he must not be able to find the reason now.

No harvest, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to start back along this road, ready to go to deeper waters.

Passing by the shrimp cage during the period, he deliberately took a flashlight to see the situation. When he found a batch of langoustine gathered outside the shrimp cage, he estimated that tomorrow's harvest would be very good.

Even if you don’t meet giant crabs tonight, this batch of langoustine is worth the trip.

Fresh langoustine from the East China Sea can be sold for 150 yuan per catty. As for the fresh ones, there is a high probability that they will not survive on the shore.

If it can be transported to the shore, the price is estimated to be more than three hundred per catty.

Continue to move forward, and soon, he came to the position where the crab cage was placed.

But it is a pity that there are no living things in the crab cage, even some deep-sea monster fish are not here, it is very desolate.

But soon, Chu Mingcheng discovered a piece of good news.

He saw a dead giant crab by the side of an aquatic plant.

This giant crab is larger than the ones found before, probably similar to the one he caught this morning.

Since there is a discovery here, it means that the giant crab must have passed here.

But apart from the original road, he is not sure which of the three current directions has crabs.

After thinking about it, Chu Mingcheng decided to look at the place where the water is deep first, which is east to south.

Not sure how long he would stay in the water next, he swam to the surface to catch his breath, and then dived again.

After determining the location, he began to swim southeast.

After a while, a huge octopus appeared in Chu Mingcheng's sight.

This octopus was almost as big as an oil tank, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to approach it at all.

He is really not afraid of fish, but this thing has strong vitality, especially the sucker that **** on the body is not a joke.

If he gets entangled by it, Chu Mingcheng is not sure if he can survive.

Fortunately, the octopus was disturbed and began to crawl away slowly, at a very slow speed.

At this speed, it is no wonder that it will become the food of sperm whales and some large deep-sea sharks.

Of course, the baby shark is its food.

Without bothering this scalp-numbing guy, Chu Mingcheng continued to swim into the deep sea.

Because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the water pressure, his swimming speed was not fast.

After a short while, he encountered a group of pink jellyfish again. The deep sea is really in danger!

Fortunately, Emperor Tian paid off, at a depth of 736 meters, Chu Mingcheng finally found a large group of giant crabs.

Although the density is average, their body shape is not bad.

The normal-sized crabs in the group are all as big as the 13-jin crab he caught today, let alone the big ones.

Even if the leg span is not four meters, it has reached three meters, which is considered very large.

Find the giant crab, then it's time to move it.

He couldn't bring the crab cage here, mainly because the length of the rope was not enough, and with the size of these crabs, it couldn't hold a few of them, so it was better to just grab them.

The giant crabs moved very slowly. Chu Mingcheng turned on the headlight and put the flashlight into the small net bag.

Then went to grab a particularly large crab leg, and lifted the side up.

These crabs are not heavy for him, so it is impossible to catch one and go back.

He chose another gigantic giant crab, and also grabbed the legs.

Holding his legs together in his hands, he can catch six crabs at a time and bring them back.

As he swam, the giant crab had no room to struggle, and was dragged and swam by him like a helpless child.

But Chu Mingcheng didn't realize that the numbers on his diving watch didn't change because of his movement.

Obviously the watch has been broken due to the pressure, and it shows 736 meters, but in fact, the gathering place of giant crabs has reached more than 800 meters.

With such a depth, the Aquatic Illustrated Book finally has an external appearance.
