Li Xuan quickly waved his hand, saying no need to thank him.

In fact, Li Xuan, an outsider, didn't dare to recruit him at all.

The sea is no better than other places, and people who don't know the ins and outs of things are not there, so Li Xuan doesn't trust them at all to get on the ship.

In the next two days, Li Xuan has been looking for suitable candidates in the village.

The priority must be the young people in the village.

Although older fishermen may have better water skills and can endure hardships at sea better.

But Li Xuan realized that it would not be long before he would buy a bigger ship, and the first batch of people who would follow him on the ship would all be trained to become talents.

Li Xuan feels that the young people in the village are more valuable to cultivate.

After two days of selection, Li Xuan finally settled on four people: Chen Bin, Wang Lei, Luo Hai, and Yang Hua.

Among them, Chen Bin, Wang Lei, and Luo Hai are all about the same age as Li Xuan, and they were chosen by Li Xuan himself.

Yang Hua was invited by Li's father himself.

Father Li felt that it was not very safe in the open sea. Having Yang Hua, an ex-soldier, on the ship would give him an extra guarantee of safety.

Because the salary offered by Li Xuan is very high, and the average sailor is only slightly lower than Qin Bin who can sail a boat, and he has promised that if anyone doesn't want to work anymore, he can pay off his salary and leave at any time, so these people all

He happily agreed to go to sea with Li Xuan.

Counting Li Xuan, Li's father, and driver Qin Bin, there were a total of seven people on the boat.

There are six dormitories, among which Chen Bin and Qin Bin live in the same dormitory, and the rest of the people live in single rooms.

"Captain, it's already the third day. When are we going to go to sea?" Yang Hua, who is tall and thin and looks a little frail, is impatient. Since he agreed to go to sea with Li Xuan, he moved his quilt to the ship on the same day.

, and then ask Li Xuan every day when he will go to sea.

Li Xuan's answer every time was don't worry, he would go to sea as soon as he made all the preparations.

Yang Hua thought the answer he got today was the same.

In the end, Li Xuan smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will go to sea immediately after I have made all the preparations."

Yang Hua couldn't help but ask: "When will it be ready?"

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Hua, don't worry, it can be done today. You can help me go to the town to buy some fruits, vegetables, fresh water drinks and other things. We will go to sea after lunch today."

Yang Hua cheered up and was finally going to sea.

But he still wondered: "What have you prepared these days?"

Li Xuan smiled mysteriously, "You will know when you get to the sea."

In fact, what Li Xuan has prepared these days is very simple. It is a diamond-shaped box made of tempered glass, two meters long and wide, and can be fixed on the bottom of a fishing boat.

Inside this box, there is a lock inside, which can be locked from the inside.

When the fishing boat sets sail, Li Xuan's octopus clone can hide in this diamond-shaped box and observe whether there are any schools of fish around the fishing boat without having to worry about being attacked by the ferocious marine predators in the deep sea.

Although Yang Hua had doubts, he would not ask questions if Li Xuan didn't tell him. He took the money from Li Xuan and rushed to the town resolutely.

Li Xuan left the matter of purchasing overseas supplies to Yang Hua with the utmost confidence. Yang Hua had an upright personality and would not be able to take kickbacks or take bribes from him.

At noon, had lunch.

Li Xuan and his son rushed directly to Yulongwan Pier.

Yang Hua and other crew members are already waiting at the dock.

Chen Bin was carrying big and small bags, as if he was going on a trip. The rest of the crew were traveling lightly. Except for Luo Hai, who was holding a fishing rod in his hand, the others didn't carry anything.

Li Xuan looked at Chen Bin in confusion, "What are you holding?"

Chen Bin chuckled, "It's all food. I bought 80 packs of Weilong, 50 packs of Xiangpiaopiao, five duck kings, ten packs of ox tails, two bottles of Laoganma, and three kilograms of soy sauce beef." ..."

Li Xuan: "..."

Yang Hua also twitched the corner of his mouth, "Before leaving next time, you should handle the purchasing."

"Okay, let's get on the boat." Father Li ordered and took the lead towards the boat, and the others quickly followed.

Li Xuan stood on the bow of the ship, looked at the rippling sea, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Set the sails!"

Everyone's mood was slightly agitated. What greeted them would soon be the truly boundless sea of ​​Star City!

Only Chen Bin looked left and right and said in confusion: "Where is the sail? I'll hoist it."

Li Xuan smiled slightly and was too lazy to pay attention to this living treasure.

"Woo——"

The fishing boat heard a loud whistle, alerting the surrounding ships that the ship was about to set sail, and those nearby should quickly get out of the way.

Immediately afterwards, there was a huge engine sound on the boat, and the water on the side of the fishing boat near the unloading bridge began to churn.

Li Xuan stood on the edge of the bow, feeling proud in his heart.

The octopus clone at the bottom of the boat quickly slipped into the diamond-shaped glass box, and then with a wave of its tentacles, the blocking glass was tightly locked.

Although the length of each tentacle of the octopus clone is now far more than half a meter, and it can be regarded as an apex ocean predator in the near future, in the distant sea, this size is really not enough.

Li's father walked happily to Li Xuan, lowered his head and glanced into the sea, and said: "The sea water is about to rise, and many fish have the habit of chasing the tide. Shall we cast a net later?"

Li Xuan shook his head. Due to the influence of gravity, the sea water does rise and fall every day, and many fish like to swim between the tides.

But Li Xuan's octopus clone could see clearly under the sea.

The water under the boat was so clean that not even a single small fish was seen, let alone the schools of fish chasing the waves.

"The fishery resources in our Yulong Bay waters have almost been completely exhausted. Even if we want to cast the net, we have to wait until we are out of the Yulong Bay waters." Li Xuan said.

Wang Lei, who was following behind, echoed: "Brother Xuan is right. Now that we have bought a big boat, we should go fishing in farther seas instead of competing for fishery resources with those in the village."

Li Xuan glanced at Wang Lei. He actually didn't think so much, but Li Xuan really looked down on the fishery resources of Yulong Bay.

This kind of fishing boat can sail very fast, even reaching 13 knots, with a range of more than 20 kilometers per hour. In just over an hour, the fishing boat left the coast of Yulong Bay far away, leaving only the vast sea around.

After a while, the fishing boat finally left the continental shelf.

After entering the continental slope, Li Xuan discovered through the octopus clone that the water on the bottom of the sea began to become deeper rapidly.

The continental slope is the transitional stage from the continental shelf to the ocean basin. The terrain is very steep, just like a fractured cliff. Generally, the seabed on the continental slope cannot retain much sediment and cannot produce any submarine vegetation.
