"Squeak squeak!"
When Li Mu was chatting with his dad, the four crew members opened a switch on the deck, causing a cannon to rise from the deck.
Li Mu took a closer look. Although it looked like a cannon, it was an iron spear that looked like a cross. On the tail of the iron spear, there was an iron chain as thick as an arm.
"Captain, this is a fishing gun. When a large fish approaches the fishing boat, it can be used to directly kill the large fish. It was originally used to catch whales, but it is no longer allowed to catch whales.”The captain looked at Li Mu's puzzled eyes and explained directly.
"Yes!" Li Mu nodded.
This fishing spear was at least half a meter long. Under the sunlight, it emitted a cold light and looked abnormally terrifying. Using this thing to catch fish was definitely a sharp weapon.
As time passed, they had already caught quite a number of fish, but they were all very few.
There was no school of fish, which made Li Mu a little disappointed.
After wandering around the sea for an afternoon, they did not encounter any migrating fish.
At night, on the deck, the group of people began to eat grilled fish. In the captain's words, because the time of sailing was uncertain, and everyone had eaten a lot of vegetables before boarding the ship, they did not lack nutrition, so they had to eat fish first.
He would eat vegetables two days later.
Otherwise, if they ate the vegetables at the beginning, they might eat up the vegetables after a long time at sea. Later on, they would suffer from a serious lack of nutrition. It would be very dangerous if they fell sick because of the imbalance of nutrition on the sea, because there was no ship doctor on this ship. There were only some common medicines.
In the evening, after supper, Li Mu and his dad went back to their own house to have a rest. This fishing boat was not as big as Li Mu's cruise ship, nor as luxurious. Additionally, it was very shaky on the sea, which made Li Mu feel like driving a bumper car.
"He really came out to suffer.”Feeling the shaking fishing boat and the sound of the surging waves, Li Mu turned his head and sighed to his father.
"Yeah, they really came out to suffer. Those crew members have been out to sea all year round and have long been used to it. It's our first time out to sea, so we definitely won't be used to it.”His father nodded in agreement.
"Go to sleep!" In a daze, Li Mu slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Li Mu woke up in a daze and listened to the lively sounds on the ship. He quickly went upstairs.
When he arrived upstairs, the crew members upstairs had already started working. They were moving the fish into the freezer.
"Hello, boss!"
"Hello, boss!"
After greeting the employees, Li Mu saw the captain who was pulling in the net at the stern.
"Hello, Captain!" Li Mu walked over.
"Boss, we've already captured four or five nets! It's about four to five tons." the captain said.
"Right, thirty nautical miles ahead, there is a school of fish that is migrating! We're heading there now. If we're lucky, we should be able to get enough goods this time.”The captain said with a face full of luck.
"Hualala!" As soon as Li Mu walked to the stern, he saw a big fish that was at least as long as a fish chasing after the fishing boat.
"Look, this is the effect of those fishing rods!”
"Is there anything that can catch it directly?”Li Mu pointed at the looming fish behind him and asked.
"Yes!" The captain said and waved his hand at the crew behind him.
After a short while, a crew member took out a one-meter long iron spear and walked out. Behind the iron spear was an iron chain that was more than ten meters long. At this moment, the end of the iron chain was tied to the stern of the ship.
"Boss, usually, we wait for this fish to get close before throwing this spear out!”the captain explained.
"However, very few people use this technology now. They all rely on the technology on fishing boats.”
"Let me try!" He took the iron spear from the crew member!
"Ha!" After taking the iron spear, Li Mu weighed it in his hand briefly. It weighed at least 40 to 50 pounds, which was really not suitable for ordinary people. Only those who had been training all year round could use it.
After a short while, when the big fish jumped out of the water, Li Mu narrowed his eyes and threw it at the big fish like a javelin.
"Plop!" Li Mu threw it forcefully. The entire sea surface was instantly blasted into two to three meters of waves! Even the fishing boat was shaken by the force of Li Mu's iron spear!
After waiting for a while, Li Mu finally saw traces of blood on the surface of the sea.
"I hit it, I hit it!"
The crew cheered when they saw Li Mu hit the fish on his first try.
"Boss, you're amazing. Only Trev can use this spear on our entire ship!”The captain pointed at a muscular man who looked at least 1.9 meters tall and had muscles that could fit two Li Mus.
"Trevor?" Li Mu smiled. Indeed, foreigners, especially Westerners, were all muscular men.
"Boss, my grandfather is a fisherman. I've been fishing with my grandfather since I was young. That was why he used this kind of fishing gun!”Trevor saw that the boss and the captain were looking at him, so he walked over and said.
"Although this skill was eliminated later, I still prefer it because it's better to use this weapon against big fish near the fishing boat.”
"Come, use some strength!" Seeing Trev walking over, the captain led Trev to pull the iron chain and directly caught the big fish that Li Mu had just caught.
At this moment, the big fish was still alive and rolling around in pain.
"Boss, this kind of fish can only be put in the fish pond with a fishing gun or killed. Once the spear was pulled out, it would bleed to death!”
"Then kill them. They can be our lunch!”Li Mu said with a smile.
After all, this was his first time going out to sea to fish. He still felt a sense of accomplishment!
