space fisherman

Chapter 600
At this moment, Ye Yuan had set up a parasol on the deck, and he was lying comfortably on the rocking chair under the umbrella, enjoying the sea breeze.

This time before he sailed, he had already set up the route of the voyage.

That is to go to the Sea of ​​Japan, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and the Bering Sea, and then cross the Bering Strait and enter the Arctic Circle along the high seas of Maoxiong's foreign country.

At this moment, Yushui is bypassing Nanbang Country and entering Wa Country Sea.

Needless to say, there are really no decent fish schools in the sea area of ​​this voyage.

Ye Yuan and the others drove here for a day, but they didn't even meet a large school of fish.

Except for a group of yellow line snow and a little scale, there is no decent fish school.

But Ye Yuan is not interested in this kind of cheap seafood, and this time the voyage is so far away, so he didn't plan to make a move.

During the period, the crew made several nets by themselves, but the harvest was very dismal.

Ye Yuan didn't care about these things, but what he was paying attention to right now was the weather changes.

The reason for doing this is because this season is really not a good time to go to sea.

If Ye Yuan didn't go to sea for too long, he wouldn't choose to go to sea this season.

This is because in summer in the northern hemisphere, the weather on the sea changes too much.

If it encounters a tropical cyclone, it will be a big trouble for fishing boats.

If it wasn't for Ye Yuan's absolute confidence in his fishing boat and crew.

He would not choose this time to come here.

Tropical cyclone refers to the type-selected circulation that occurs on the sea surface in tropical and subtropical regions.

It can be said to be a relatively destructive natural phenomenon on Blue Star.

If it is a small tropical cyclone, ordinary fishing boats will not care about it.

But if it is a strong tropical cyclone, it is a very scary thing.

A strong tropical cyclone will not only form huge waves, but also be accompanied by heavy rain or tsunamis.

Tropical cyclones may be unfamiliar to some people, after all, they have different names when they occur in different places.

For example, tropical cyclones generated in the western Pacific Ocean are usually called typhoons.

Those in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes.

Those in the southern hemisphere are often referred to as cyclones.

Although the names are different, the principle is the same.

They are all tropical cyclones that are generated over the sea from July to September every year.

As for the Waguo Sea, it is indeed quite special. Whether it is a hurricane or a typhoon, it usually enters here.

Therefore, fishing boats entering the Waguo Sea from July to September must be very careful.

Just when Ye Yuan was thinking about this, Ding Yi's voice suddenly came from the intercom:
"Boss! The air pressure above us has dropped drastically."

This is also the benefit of having an advanced weather system on board.

It can observe the cloud map of the area where its own fishing boat is located at any time.

In order to predict some weather changes.

"What is this special fear?"

Ye Yuan thought so in his heart, but the pace under his feet didn't stop.

He hurried to the cockpit.

Ding Yi pointed to a monitor and said:

"Boss, look at this cloud map!"

Ye Yuan glanced at the weather cloud map, thought for a while and said:

"Turn around and go to Nagasaki, let's go there to escape this storm!"

Ye Yuan quickly made a decision.

He needs to find a suitable port to avoid this typhoon.

Ding and Ye Yuan's instructions were completely carried out.

Even if Ye Yuan said to drive in the direction of the storm, he would not have any doubts.

So Ding Yi quickly changed his course and headed for Nagasaki Port which is the closest to him.

Facts have proved that the decision to change the route is quite a correct thing.

Not long after Ye Yuan and the others changed their course, the weather on the sea began to change significantly.

As the sea breeze gradually increased, the raindrops changed from sparse to dense.

From the drizzle, the raindrops became the size of soybeans in the end.

As the rain intensified, the waves gradually rose.

The fishing boat was very choppy in the waves.

The crew is also experienced in such weather.

First fix some tools on the deck, and then all crew members enter the cabin.

Yu Hongbo and Wang Husheng came to the cockpit at this moment.

At this moment, the few people are in a good mood, and they are not frightened by the storm in front of them.

From time to time, there were chatter and laughter from several people in the cockpit.

Although the wind and waves outside are very strong, it is not yet dangerous for the Yushui, which was refitted from a warship.

"Boss, I'm going to get a cup of coffee, do you want to drink?"

Wang Husheng asked from the side.

"I'll just have a cup of tea!"

Ye Yuan replied casually.

"What about you, old class?"

Wang Husheng looked at Yu Hongbo again.

"Let me have coffee!"

Wang Husheng's movements were quick, and he brought out two cups of coffee and one cup of tea in a short time.

Because Ding Yi was concentrating on driving the fishing boat at the moment, in order not to distract him, he didn't ask him what he wanted to drink.

“Boss’s Tea”

Wang Husheng walked back unsteadily, and handed the sealed water cup to Ye Yuan.

"Thank you!"

He took the teacup and thanked him.

While several people were enjoying the delicious coffee and tea, suddenly the red indicator light of the GMDSS system lit up.

All the people present became tense.

There is no way, as soon as the system lights up, it means that there is a big trouble.

The full name of GMDSS is global maritime distress and safety system, which is the abbreviation of global maritime distress and safety system.

On February 1999, 2, the GMDSS system was fully launched in all shipping countries around the world.

It is different from the distress signal "SOS" which was widely used before that.

GMDSS is a new ship-to-shore communication system "Global Maritime Distress and Safety System".

It consists of two parts: satellite communication system and terrestrial radio communication system.

The satellite system also includes two parts: the Inmarsat subsystem and the very low orbit search and rescue satellite subsystem.

GMDSS is an advanced system based on advanced satellite communication technology, digital technology and computer technology.

When a ship is in distress, it can not only send rescue information to a wider range more quickly and reliably.

It can also replace the previous manual alarm method in an automatic and semi-automatic manner.

Ye Yuan's GMDSS indicator lights up, indicating that there is a ship in distress nearby, and a distress alarm is issued at the same time
Distress alerting is the prompt and successful communication of a distress event by a person in distress to a possible rescue unit.

The alarm includes three directions: ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship and shore-to-ship alarm, among which ship-to-shore alarm is the main one.

But there are special times, like now.

Even if an alarm signal is received on the shore, due to the weather, it is difficult for the helicopter to quickly reach the location of the ship in distress.

Therefore, the ship-to-ship alarm is very important at the moment.

After all, we are all in the same ocean.

If there is a signal around, you will definitely rush over there as soon as possible. This is also an unwritten rule at sea.

Ding Yi fumbled on the dashboard, and quickly got in touch with the ship in distress.
