Lin Xinhai and the others were chatting on the walkie-talkie, and Chen Yuan could also hear it.

Lin Xinhai's excited voice made Chen Yuan speechless: "Why are you so excited? It's been more than half a month since I came out, and I've just started this network."

"Then you can't find fish." Lin Xinhai said.

"Hurry up and catch the fish. It's easy to get tuna here during the day," Chen Yuan said.

"It's already going very fast. There are too many fish caught." Lin Xinmin said.

I was busy until after ten o'clock and collected all the fish.

Squid, estimated at more than twenty tons.

There are 251 tuna, the smallest is thirty or forty pounds, and the largest is seventy or eighty pounds.

Some trash fish were also caught.

Chen Yuan went over to pick up Zhou Sheng and cook.

"How much is this network worth?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"I just heard Lin Xinhai and others say that the value of this net should be over two million." Chen Yuandao: "The rocket squid is expensive, and there are more than two hundred tuna."

The price of the rocket squid that is sent back directly to the ultra-low temperature is also very good.

Many workers on the boat have not slept all night. The fishing boat has stopped now and everyone is cooking and eating.

With a fishing net of 1,700 meters, it is no small job to take the fishing nets back and sort them out.

Chen Yuan boiled two squids and sliced ​​them into slices. The meat was white and tender, dipped in mustard and topped with a bite, and then a faint sweetness lingered on the tip of the tongue.

After dinner, some of the workers on the fishing boat went back to sleep.

Others had a rest last night and were busy packing and organizing fishing nets on the boat.

"Master." Chen Yuan drove the fishing boat over.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xinhai was about to go back to sleep when he saw Chen Yuan's fishing boat approaching.

"Satellite phone."

Lin Xinhai smiled and took out the satellite phone: "When will you bring your girlfriend over and show us."

"There is a chance." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Can the hydraulic system of the crane be repaired?"

"I have to go back and dismantle everything. Even if it can be done now, there is no hydraulic oil." Lin Xinhai said: "But the problem is not big, we can still lower the net and close it."

Chen Yuan took the satellite phone and went to the bow of the ship and called Yan Xiaoxi: "Hello."

"Did you call me? When will you be back?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.

"It will take a while."

"How many fish were caught?"

"The first net was launched today, and there were more than 20 tons of squid." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"How much can more than twenty tons of squid be sold for?"

"The current price is about 80,000 per ton." Chen Yuandao.

The price of rocket squid is high, while some varieties of squid are cheap.

"More than twenty tons? That means almost two million?"

"Probably. But we still have to deduct gas expenses, wages...how much is left will be known after we sell it."

"It's the National Day. Can we come back for the National Day?"

"It should be okay. I'll call you in advance when I want to go back."

"good."

The weather was so bad some time ago that Chen Yuan never had a chance to call Yan Xiaoxi. Today, during the free time, we chatted on the phone for more than ten minutes.

I went back and took a nap, and when I woke up it was already afternoon.

Chen Yuan released the drone and still received a lot of biological signals.

The Lixia went to the edge of the squid school to observe whether there were any tuna schools.

Zhou Sheng was smoking outside.

"Have you found anything?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I don't know, I just woke up a while ago." Zhou Sheng threw a cigarette.

Large groups of squid can easily attract tuna schools.

"Uncle." Chen Yuan contacted Lin Xinmin, the captain of the Lixia.

"receive."

"Have you found anything?"

"I found some signs of big fish, but I don't know if they are tuna, and the number is not large."

"Let's go out and take a look." Chen Yuan started the fishing boat and turned on the fish detector.

Not long after running, a picture of a big fish appeared on the fish detector screen. Chen Yuan calculated the size of the fish and found that the length of these fish was about 1.5 meters and they were swimming very fast.

Chen Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie: "We found a relatively large tuna."

The walkie-talkie used by Chen Yuan, public channel.

"How old?" Lin Xinhai's voice came from the intercom.

"About 1.5 meters." Chen Yuan said.

"How many are there?"

"I only saw three." Chen Yuan said, "They should be tuna. Let's go out for a walk."

"good."

After leaving the squid's activity area, Chen Yuan took out the drone and released it. After flying for half an hour, no major findings were found.

There are originally few large tuna schools in the South China Sea, and there are more small groups.

Chen Yuan replaced the battery of the drone, changed the position of the fishing boat, and continued flying.

It was getting dark when Lin Xinhai's voice came over the radio: "Have you found anything?"

"without."

"Then we'll be back. There's a group of tuna gathered here, a lot of them. Come back and command the net."

"good."

Chen Yuan took the drone back, and Zhou Sheng launched the fishing boat and sent Chen Yuan to the Lixia.

Chen Yuan first looked at the picture of the horizontal fish finder, determined the position and depth of the fish school, and contacted Lin Xinhai: "Let's take a detour first."

"good."

There are two groups of tuna here. The group of tuna found in the afternoon was small in number but large in size.

The group coming now is large in number, but not small in size.

The two groups of tuna are seven to eight hundred meters apart.

Large groups of small tuna form a circle and are feeding on squid. Large tuna are scattered...

"Zhou, He Fei, Yang Xun?" Chen Yuan shouted.

"Received." Zhou Sheng.

"Received..." He Fei and Yang Xun.

"You guys go to the three o'clock direction now. Stop and don't move..." Chen Yuan was in the captain's cabin. After seeing Zhou Sheng and others taking their positions, Chen Yuan said again: "A little further away."

"Is that okay?" Zhou Sheng asked as he started the fishing boat and ran farther.

"That's almost it."

"Are we almost at this location?" Lin Xinhai said on the public channel of the walkie-talkie.

"That's almost it."

Chen Yuan and the others are now mainly surrounding large groups of small individual tuna. The current distance is about two hundred meters away from the fish school. Stay farther away...

At this position, the fishing boat's windward side remains exposed to the wind and follows the current.

When the two fishing boats get close to each other, they pull up the running and tight ends of the seine net, then move forward at full speed, drag the end of the net into the water, target the fish school, and quickly make a circular motion and release the net to surround the fish school.

When the seine net was in progress, Chen Yuan shouted: "We are catching fish now, as many as we can catch, so hurry up."

"good."

Zhou Sheng took the lead in starting the fishing boat, reaching the top of the throttle lever and drifting in place.

He Fei and Yang Xun each drove an assault boat with full power. The three boats formed a fan shape and could make as much noise as they could...

Their three fishing boats were on the outside of the big tuna. When there was a sudden movement, the tuna was frightened and fled towards the seine net.
To be continued...
