Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 38 Can This Fishing Boat Be Rescued?
"Anisan, it's too dangerous. We shouldn't take any chances."

"There are still so many fish in the boat, we can sell them for a lot of money. If we run aground here, the loss will be too great."

Yukiko Nakamori grabbed Ji Chang and tried to dissuade him.

The risk of going in is too high, and once you get stranded there is no turning back.

The lessons are right before our eyes.

Nakamori Yukiko's persuasion made Ji Chang more rational, so he said: "What you said makes sense. I am still unfamiliar with the situation inside. I really shouldn't take risks with the Tamako."

The red snappers in the fishing boat can be sold for a lot of money, and if it really runs aground, the loss will be several thousand yuan.

"You guys wait here, I'm going to go check on that boat. Now that I'm here, I can't go back."

As he said that, Ji Chang took the lifebuoy.

This kind of lifebuoy made of tire has great buoyancy, and you can often sit on it and use it as a small kayak.

"It's too dangerous, Onii-chan, can you not go?" Kurosawa Rika advised with a worried look on her face.

"There are many undercurrents in places like this, and the lifebuoy can't cope with them at all." Yukiko Nakamori also didn't want Ji Chang to take risks.

"Let's sail in. If there's any danger, we'll face it together. We can't let you take the risk alone, Anisan."

Ji Chang picked up a paddle and said straightforwardly, "It's decided. You don't need to persuade me. Just wait here for me to come back."

Ji Chang hung a kettle on his body and also took a harpoon.

The seabed around here is full of reefs and there are many undercurrents. It is indeed quite dangerous and it is hard to say what is in the water.

After saying that, Ji Chang threw the lifebuoy into the sea and jumped into it.

He sat directly in the lifebuoy and rowed towards the stranded fishing boat.

"Sister Yukiko, what should we do now?" Kurosawa Rika asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Anisan is a good swimmer. He will be fine as long as he is careful. With the lifebuoy, he won't sink into the sea."

Apart from comforting Kurosawa Rika, Yukiko Nakamori could not think of any other way.

"We take turns watching, and if something happens we'll go in and rescue people."

Hearing what Yukiko Nakamori said, Kurosawa Rika immediately went to the cabin to get a telescope.

Without looking at Ji Chang, Kurosawa Rika would feel uneasy.

In order to avoid getting anxious, Yukiko Nakamori simply picked up the fishing net.

Usually not many people come to fish in this place, so maybe you can catch some fish.

Give yourself something to do so you won’t be worrying and having random thoughts all the time.

On the sea, Ji Chang rowed quickly towards the stranded fishing boat.

There are indeed many reefs on the seabed, and the undercurrent is also very turbulent.

If you fall into the water, it will be very troublesome indeed.

Using his perception ability, Ji Chang felt that it would not be a problem for him to drive the boat in.

After all, even the stranded fishing boat could be driven in.

The most dangerous place is the area where it ran aground.

There are indeed many reefs underneath, but according to the draft of their fishing boats, it is still navigable.

It's not a big problem for small fishing boats to get in, but they will be trapped by the waves and unable to get out.

Now, Ji Chang finally understood why no big ships or small boats dared to come here to fish.

What makes Ji Chang happiest is undoubtedly the fish under the water.

There are a lot of fish, and Ji Chang can see quite a few of them swimming around in the water with the naked eye.

In addition to Pingzheng, there are also many lobsters, various crabs, abalone, sea urchins and other valuable seafood.

Just a random catch can bring in several hundred yuan.

This place is indeed suitable for making a fortune.

Ji Chang paddled hard to get himself close to the stranded fishing boat quickly while preventing himself from being carried away by the current.

If he wasn't strong enough and had great endurance, it would have been difficult for him to get close to the stranded fishing boat.

Half an hour later, Ji Chang finally arrived at the stranded fishing boat.

"What a pity! There was a cut on the bottom of the cabin. No wonder there was no chance to get out."

Through his own perception, Ji Chang clearly sensed that the area of ​​the fishing boat's engine room was cut. The cut was more than 20 centimeters long and more than 10 centimeters wide at its widest point.

The entire engine room was flooded, causing the fishing boat to run aground completely. Without its power system, it naturally could not be started.

Ji Chang threw the rope of the lifebuoy onto the fishing boat, and then climbed onto the fishing boat.

The deck was still covered with tarpaulin, indicating that the previous owner still had illusions about the boat and wanted to get it out.

To be honest, there are conditions.

There might be a chance if we drain the water from the engine room, plug the hole in the bottom of the boat, and then repair the engine.

Alternatively, you can perform underwater welding operations directly inside the cabin to weld the cracks together.

Of course, this kind of underwater welding is very difficult and not easy to do.

Ji Chang turned around the captain and then entered the boat house.

He found two water pumps in the boathouse, covered with dust sheets.

In addition, there are two large barrels of diesel.

Obviously, the ship owner made a lot of efforts but failed to save the fishing boat.

There were obvious signs of life in the houseboat, with many cans of food that had been eaten.

The beds and bedding in the lounge were neatly folded and looked very clean.

In order to rescue the fishing boat, the ship owner must have lived on the boat for a period of time.

Only when there is absolutely no other way out will one choose to give up.

The cost of this fishing boat is estimated to be around 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If we can get it back and repair it, we can make a huge sum of money for free.

Ji Qiang went up to the control panel on the second floor and checked the situation.

The key was still there, but Ji Chang didn't start the fishing boat.

If we really want to rescue this fishing boat, we need to drain the water from the engine room and find a way to plug the hole in the engine room.

Ji Chang decided to give it a try, and he found a hammer in the boathouse.

Then he opened the entrance to the cabin.

It was full of sea water, and Ji Chang dived directly to the bottom.

Relying on his perception ability, Ji Chang went directly to the location of the breach.

Ji Chang was preparing to knock down the cracked area, because it was cracked by the reef, and the steel rolled directly inward.

By tapping it until it is smooth, the gap can be made smaller.

Then we can put on the pump to drain the water from the engine room.

The smaller the gap, the faster the water seepage will be.

The previous owner must have planned to do this, but he had no way of finding the exact location of the breach in the dark engine room.

Even if I find it, I don’t have the ability to deal with it.

But Ji Chang is different, he still has a chance.

It is not an easy task to knock back the cracked steel plate in the water, fortunately Ji Chang has great strength.

He kept swinging the hammer, hitting the steel plate.

“It’s working!”

Ji Chang said excitedly in his heart.

Keep swinging the hammer to flatten the rolled steel plate bit by bit.

Time passed little by little, and after more than ten minutes, Ji Chang floated to the surface of the water.

After resting for a few minutes, he dived into the water again.

After spending more than an hour, Ji Chang finally knocked the broken steel plate flat.

However, there is still a gap of about three or four centimeters.

It is not enough to knock the inside flat, you also need to knock the outside to reduce the gap.

At present, the conditions for pumping water are in place.

Only after the water is pumped out can the fishing boat float up and there will be a chance to deal with the bottom of the boat outside the cabin.
