Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 412
[Four hundred and four, Sea King]
The color of the Barents Sea, in the cloudy weather, seems like an endless black abyss.
No one can know what’s in the depths of the ocean beneath their own ship.
There may be a 16th to 19th century gold coin-laden treasure buried, or there may be something unknown.
This is why people are afraid of the deep sea…you have no idea what’s on the bottom of the sea.
But Yang Yang knew.
Although the girl can only sense the position of 300 meters under the sea, it is enough for the crab catcher industry.
Qingchen was thinking that if Yangyang got tired of the world’s battles one day and came to this place to be the captain, maybe he could become the crab captain who ruled the Bering Sea and the Barents Sea.
Looking at the world’s ports, there is no one that can fight.
Yangyang looked at Qingchen and said in a low voice, “Actually, there are life detectors in the world that can detect life within a range of 300 meters, but everyone is thinking about calling and calling, and they don’t think it will be too much to bring this thing to the world. It’s of great use…it’s not that it’s useless, it’s that no other technology is useful.”
Qingchen understands the meaning of the seedlings. If there is a life detector on the crab fishing boat, then the king crabs on the bottom of the sea will be miserable…
Where is the crab farm, where there are crab activities, just use the life detector to look at it.
However, when human beings pursue technological progress, they will always be a little bit more focused on weapons, even if Time Walker brings technology back from the inner world, it will be the same.
At this time, Zhang Jian was about to drive the North Pole to the sea area that Yangyang said.
In fact, Yangyang doesn’t know which direction it is, and now her five senses are still affected by the force field, so she is still a road idiot.
Fortunately, Yangyang told Qingchen how many minutes ago he passed by, and then Qingchen determined the location of the crab farm.
“Wait, don’t go over there yet,” Qing Chen frowned.
“What’s the matter,” Old John wondered.
He looked around and handed the binoculars to Old John: “There are boats following us from a distance, go for a walk with them first, and don’t lead them to the place where we are going to be caged.”
Old John was stunned for a moment. He had the final say on the deck. If the new sailor wanted to seize power, it would be a very serious matter.
But when he saw the Alpine figure in the telescope, he still called Zhang Jian: “Zhang, let’s go in circles with the Alpine.”
Old John looked at Qingchen in surprise. The Alpine was like a small white spot in the distance. This young man didn’t use a telescope just now. How did he discover the Alpine.
Moreover, Qing Chen’s tone seemed to be very sure of where they were going, as if there were countless king crabs.
This crab hunt was a bit tense, and the Long Tail, Killer Whale, and Alps seemed to surround the Arctic.
This staring stance made Old John feel a little uneasy.
Qingchen asked: “If there is a conflict between the crab fishing boats at sea, what will happen?”
Old John said with a serious face: “Someone will sneak into the sea to cut off the ropes floating on others, so that all your crab pots will sink to the bottom of the sea.”
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: “That’s it?”
Old John said: “They have a lot of diving suits on board, but Zhang Jian didn’t have one set on the Arctic in order to save money.”
This means that they have no chance to fight back at all.
However, when Old John finished speaking, he found that Qing Chen’s face clearly had a relaxed look.
To be honest, Qingchen thought that everyone would fight at sea, if they just went to sea to cut and float…
It almost makes sense.
In fact, cutting the float is a very sinister method, which can make a crab boat suffer heavy losses. This has happened several times in the Barents Sea. Either one captain slept another captain’s wife, or The Port Crabman forces are ready to shuffle the deck.
Qingchen looked at the edge of the ocean in the distance: “Go to the destination, the Alps is gone.”
Old John went in that direction,
His eyes widened, but he didn’t see anything: “Why didn’t I see anything?”
Qingchen glanced at him strangely: “Of course you can’t see it when you’re gone.”
This almost made old John angry!
…
…
While the hull was shaking, Old John instructed the seedlings to hang the herring bait into the crab cages, and then instructed Qingchen and Nidepu to throw 8 crab cages into the sea one by one.
Nidepu stared at Qingchen closely, as if he was afraid that the young man on the opposite side would be lazy when he put into the crab pot.
After all, for a 680-pound crab pot, after Old John used a crane to put the crab pot on the drop platform on the edge of the deck, he needed two people to hang the floating rope, and then push it down together.
At this time, if one person is lazy, the other person’s physical exertion will be very large.
However, Nidepp feels strange that he seems to be saving more energy than before…
Could it be that Zhang Jianzu’s crab traps are of poor quality, so they are light in weight?
Niedep glanced at Qingchen, and secretly lifted the crab cage alone… didn’t lift it.
One pound is about 0.45 kilograms. If you don’t pay attention, a crab pot is about 610 pounds. This is something that ordinary people can lift. Otherwise, why do you need a crane on a crab boat…
However, just because of this distraction, a huge wave rushed forward, and Niedep was beaten back by the wave, just stepping on the rope reel.
The crab pot quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the rope that flew away in circles was about to wrap around Niedep’s ankle.
Old John shouted, “Cut the rope!”
Surprisingly, Qing Chen didn’t do this, and didn’t even take out the dagger in his overalls.
Old John was in a hurry, he knew how serious the consequences would be if the crew didn’t do what he said.
If Niedep was entangled and dragged into the sea, he would not be able to survive at all. In just over ten seconds, the enormous pressure on the seabed would kill Niedep.
However, another wave came.
When the waves were about to hit the deck, Old John clearly saw Qing Chen grabbing the rope with one hand.
The falling crab cage was also stopped at once!
He was stunned for a moment and pulled the rope with his bare hands?
!
Before Old John could react to what was going on, the waves had already hit everyone, and it was impossible to see what was going on.
When the waves flowed back into the sea along the deck, Old John held onto the crane and looked in Nidepp’s direction for the first time.
I saw Niedep sitting down on the deck, and the seedlings were standing beside him.
At that moment, Qing Chen held on to the rope for a moment, letting Nidepu loosen his ankle, which had been tightly entangled.
And Yangyang took advantage of this opportunity to bring out Nidpu, and the perfect tacit cooperation between the two saved Nidepu’s life.
But it was all overshadowed by the waves.
Old John looked at Qingchen again, and the other party was not pulling the rope, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
“What’s the matter?” Old John wondered.
Niedep said tremblingly, “I don’t know either. I thought I was going to fall into the sea, but I was pulled out in time by this girl.”
In fact, when the second wave came, Nidepp himself didn’t know what happened.
Everything came too fast, and the waves blocked everyone’s view.
Old John glanced at Qingchen hesitantly. Even if there is buoyancy in the sea, the crab cage should not be able to be held by a normal person with one hand. How much strength would it take?
This kind of power slaps people in the face, I am afraid it can directly kill people.
Old John wasn’t sure if Qingchen was holding on to the rope or not, or maybe the seedlings moved faster.
He was full of doubts.
Old John turned to look at Niedep: “You’re going to die?! Do you know that you can’t be distracted on a crab boat? Do you think the crab catcher’s money is so easy to make?”
Crab catchers are one of the most dangerous industries in the world, second only to mercenaries in the Middle East.
The danger is that the working temperature is too low, the working time is too long, and the waves are too large in winter.
Low temperatures can make crew members unresponsive, long working hours can be exhausting, and even the world’s top e-sports players can make mistakes without sleeping for 20 straight hours.
In this environment, faced with the worst weather in the world, life could be lost at any time.
In the port, there are many sailors who leave due to injuries every year. After the crab fishing season, there are no dead people, a few legs and a few arms, as if the money is not reliable.
Old John was silent for a moment and asked Qingchen, “Why didn’t you cut the rope immediately?”
Qingchen said: “Zhang Jian said that if a crab pot is lost, the value is 1,000 euros, and he has to compensate the person who rented it. Zhang Jian is so poor, it must be very distressing to lose a crab pot.”
Old John said coldly: “It’s a common thing to lose crab pots in the Barents Sea. Sometimes in stormy weather, the sailors are not allowed to throw the grappling hook, and the balloon floats and slashes, and five or six crab pots can be lost in one night. Crab pots are expensive, but human lives are more expensive.”
Qingchen smiled and said, “Okay, I understand, I will cut the rope as soon as possible next time.”
Old John picked up the landline phone on the deck: “Captain, the ship is off, change to another place.”
Zhang Jian asked, “The waves just now were too big, are you okay?”
Old John said, “It’s fine.”
Everyone’s work clothes were beaten by the sea water. Although this thing is waterproof, it is inevitable that sea water will be poured into the neckline.
However, this is nothing to a crab catcher.
…
…
The crab boat was in motion, and the crew sat in the cabin and ate sandwiches.
Nidep felt like he would fall asleep anytime he was eating, and he was close to the limit of what his body could bear.
Another thing that surprised Old John happened. After Qingchen and Yangyang finished eating the sandwiches with tired faces, they ran back to the deck to sit again, watching the waves on the sea.
At a certain moment, Old John felt that this sandwich was like a prop in the game. After eating it, the crab catcher could be resurrected with blood…
“Do you think this time out to sea, can you encounter the stormy weather you want?” Yangyang asked.
Qingchen smiled: “No one can say this. The knight’s life and death challenge depends on luck. Thirty-meter waves can be encountered but not sought. Let’s go.”
“Then if you can’t wait this time, you’ll be waiting in Amsterdam?” Yang Yang asked curiously.
“Well,” Qing Chen thought for a while and said, “The next time I travel, I may encounter very dangerous things, so I must improve my strength.”
According to Qing’s shadow’s plan, the next time he exchanges Qingmu with the gods, it is very likely that he will not be in the city.
The Age of God will definitely choose a relatively neutral place, and there is a high probability that it will be in the Forbidden Land No. 065, 410 kilometers northeast of City No. 10.
There’s no place for a mass military entry there, and crucially 065 has a known rule: Don’t break a deal.
All those who traded here, but turned their backs on their promises, will die for breaking the rules.
Therefore, there is even a production base outside the forbidden land of No. 065 that has been turned into a small town. Many wilderness people and federal people trade here. After the transaction, they agree with each other to leave from the east and west directions respectively to avoid black people eating black.
It has to be said that human beings can always make the most of nature from various angles.
Qingchen has heard about the small town outside the forbidden land of No. 065 on the Weibo hot search of the world. It is called the new dragon gate inn of the inner world…
Although it seemed safe to trade Qing Mu there, Qing Chen always felt that something was wrong.
After all, it is a wilderness, or a forbidden place, and danger is always there.
Six hours later, Old John stood in front of the crane with a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a vague voice: “Qing, you throw the hooks, we have to pull up the eight pathfinder cages that were dropped earlier!”
Zhang Jian held the steering wheel tightly with both hands in the cab, not knowing whether it was sweat or sea water in his palms.
If the swarm could not be found in the pathfinder cage this time, it means that he needs to move on to another place and consume more fuel.
Qing Chen floated again with a hook.
When the rope of the crane was taut, Old John immediately noticed the situation: “In stock!”
This is the intuition of the old sailor. Just look at the speed of the crane when it pulls up the crab cage to know whether there are king crabs in the crab cage.
This time, Old John was also nervous. He looked at the end of the crane, and the straight rope was constantly pulling the crab cage up.
When the crab pot appeared on the water, Old John was stunned.
The cage full of king crabs was densely packed, and Nidep stared at it blankly. He swore that he had never seen anyone hit so many king crabs in a cage in his life.
Qingchen looked back at Old John: “The crane!”
Old John came back to his senses and hurriedly controlled the crane to hang the crab cage directly above the deck.
Qingchen untied the rope at the bottom of the crab cage, and countless king crabs fell.
“Count how many?!” Old John said impatiently.
Qingchen glanced at it: “132.”
Old John was stunned. He wore his heavy work clothes and ran to the wired phone: “Boss, we have found the Golden Crab Farm!”
Zhang Jian in the cab was stunned, Golden Crab Farm?
!
What an ancient name it is.
According to legend, there is only a crab farm in the Barents Sea that can hold a hundred and twenty king crabs in one cage, so it is worthy of the name of the golden crab farm!
Old John roared into the phone, “You’ve made a fortune, do you hear that? You’ve made a fortune!”
After speaking, Old John instructed the crew on the deck: “Take a caliper and see how many unqualified crabs are there!”
Qingchen happily measured with a caliper. The qualified ones were thrown into the warehouse, and the unqualified ones were thrown into the sea. Among the 132 king crabs, only 6 were unqualified.
This is the real golden crab farm!
At this moment, the way Old John looked at Yangyang has changed. He is now very sure that this pair of young men and women from China will definitely know the magic in the legend!
The other party said that seeing this place is pleasing to the eye is just a pretext, and it must have been really found that there are crabs on the bottom of the sea to guide the crab boats back here.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
!
Also, if this girl is so miraculous, then he must not have been delusional when he saw Qingchen holding the descending rope with one hand!
Thinking of this, Old John’s eyes towards Qingchen also changed…
However, before he could think about anything else, a red and black crab fishing boat approached quickly in the distance.
“Long Tail!” Old John’s face sank immediately: “No, hurry up and throw all the king crabs into the warehouse and pretend that nothing was salvaged.”
This is the golden crab farm, which can produce 132 crabs per cage, and must not be known to other crab fishing boats.
Otherwise, Killer Whale, Long Tail, and Alpine will definitely come to share the king crabs here.
Seeing the Long Tail approaching quickly, Old John stood on the deck with a nonchalant expression on his face.
More than ten meters away, a middle-aged white man on the deck of the Long Tail looked at the empty crab cage of the Arctic, and laughed loudly: “Old John, the Arctic will be dead again this year, why don’t you come now? I’m on board, and I’ll pick up a sampan for you.”
Old John shouted angrily: “When I went out to sea to catch crabs, you were still bullied into a slug in the school, get out, stay away from my pathfinder cage, don’t let you bring bad luck to us!”
The middle-aged white man took a serious look at the Arctic again, then waved his hand towards the rear, signaling the helm to leave the ship.
Before the Long Tail sailed away, the middle-aged man said to the sailor behind him, “Attention! The Arctic has found the crab farm!”
A sailor said strangely: “Their crab pots are empty.”
The middle-aged man sneered: “Didn’t you find that the crab cage has been hoisted to the middle of the deck? It’s obviously just unloading a cage of king crabs. Besides, didn’t you see how nervous Old John was, standing on the deck? Don’t move. Before that, he jumped up early to send my mom away! Go and tell Fern and Craig on the radio that there must be a crab farm under the Arctic!”
…
…
On the North Pole, after waiting for the Nagato to leave, Old John happily directed the crew to pull up the remaining pathfinder cages.
The second cage, 113.
The third cage, 119.
The fourth cage, 127…
No cage is lost.
Old John said happily: “Right here, we put down 80 crab pots, each 400 feet apart!”
At this time, he hadn’t realized that his poor acting skills had not fooled the captain of the Long Tail at all, and the Orca and the Alps were also on their way.
Qingchen asked Yangyang in a low voice, “How many crabs are there?”
Yangyang felt silently, wanting to report an accurate number directly like Qingchen, it would look very powerful.
It’s just that she counted for a long time and couldn’t figure it out, so she answered briefly, “A lot.”
Qingchen: “…does this answer take a long time to think about?”
Yang Yang said calmly, “I’m a little tired.”
Qingchen didn’t bother about this detail, he turned to look at Old John: “Let’s put all the crab pots down, I don’t think the Long Tail will just leave so easily, if they come up with another prank, I’m afraid It is to affect the income of the Arctic.”
Old John was about to refute, but he realized that something was wrong between Qingchen and Yangyang, so he thought for a moment and asked, “You don’t think I lied to them just now?”
Qingchen said seriously: “The elements of the performance are too obvious, the body language is a little stiff, and the language expression is not rich enough…”
Old John was stunned for a moment, how come this is still commenting, it makes you seem like a professional actor.
Before he could make a decision, Qing Chen actually picked up the phone on the deck and said to Zhang Jian, “Zhang Jian, circle around at a speed of 15 knots, we are going to put all the crab pots here!”
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment: “What did Old John say?”
Old John on the side was silent for a long time: “Do as he said.”
After hanging up the phone, Old John gave Qingchen a deep look. I don’t know when, this new sailor who was ridiculed by everyone in the port, turned out to be the backbone of the North Pole.
The North Pole moved slowly.
Under normal circumstances, crab catchers will cast a wide net, cast 30 crab pots here, and then go to a few nautical miles away to cast another 30 after leaving. After all, the number of king crabs in the same place is limited.
After the crab pot is cast, go to other places for a stroll, and come back to pick up the crab pot eight hours later.
But now it’s different. Knowing that there is a golden crab farm below, they will throw away all the crab pots and not leave!
Qingchen’s plan was very simple. He felt that the Nagato would definitely go and return, so they had to stay here!
This is their golden crab farm!
into the night.
The deck of the Arctic is brightly lit, and everyone is sitting in the cabin, waiting for the time to pull up all the crab pots to see what the harvest is like this time.
Only Qingchen and Yangyang were still standing on the deck, and no matter how the ship swayed, they still stood firm.
The North Pole has been anchored, and Zhang Jian has a rare opportunity to sit in the cabin and eat something peacefully.
He silently looked at the backs of the young man and woman on the deck, and he didn’t realize until today that these two… there might be something wrong.
While eating, Old John secretly told him a lot of things, and as a result, Zhang Jian’s expression changed when he looked at the two of them.
Who would have thought that these two rookie sailors, who had been ridiculed for two days at the port, would lead them to the Golden Crab Farm?
!
Moreover, Old John said that Qingchen held the falling crab cage with one hand… This is a bit too bizarre, and Zhang Jian is still suspicious at this time.
But when he was looking at the backs of the two, suddenly, Qingchen turned his head: “Come on.”
Zhang Jian put down the dinner plate in his hand, walked to the deck and looked outside: “I didn’t see the lighthouse on the ship, John, is there any movement on the radar?”
Old John responded, “No.”
Qingchen said: “It should have come close by turning off the lights and radar. The visitor is not good.”
Zhang Jian became nervous.
Then, he saw Qingchen standing on the piercing deck, taking off his heavy work clothes, leaving only a pair of swimsuit shorts inside.
“You… what are you doing?” Zhang Jian was stunned, the other party had already put on a swimsuit inside?
!
The next moment, Qing Chen jumped into the icy water without wearing a diving suit and without an oxygen tank, so he jumped abruptly.
In an instant, Zhang Jian felt like he was watching the DC movie “Sea King!
Zhang Jian stammered and looked at Yangyang: “He…he!”
Yangyang smiled in the dark night: “Don’t worry, he’s fine.”
…
The 6,000-word chapter, updated with 12,000 words today, finally paid off what I owed a few days ago…Relaxed.
