Chapter 406: Neptune

  Chapter 406 Sea King

  The color of the Barents Sea, in the overcast weather, seems like an endless black abyss.

  No one can know what lies deep under the sea.

  It is possible that there are treasures full of gold coins from the 16th to the 19th century, or there may be something unknown. .

  This is the reason why people are afraid of the deep sea...You don’t even know what is on the bottom of the sea.

  But Yangyang knows.

  Although the girl can only sense the position 300 meters below the sea, it is enough for the crab catcher industry.

  Qingchen was thinking, if Yang Yang is tired of the world's battles one day, and runs to this place as the captain, she might become the crab captain who rules the Bering Sea and the Barents Sea.

  Looking at the ports of the world, there is no one that can hit them.

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen and said in a low voice: "In fact, there are life detectors in the world that can detect 300 meters, but everyone wants to fight back and forth. I don't think it will be too much to bring this stuff to the watch world. Great use...It's not useless, it's not as useful as other technologies."

  Qingchen understands the meaning of yangyang. If the crab boat is equipped with a life detector, the king crabs on the bottom of the sea will be miserable.

  Where is the crab farm and where there are crab activities, just use the life detector to look at it.

  However, when humans are pursuing technological advancement, they always put a little emphasis on weapons, even if the time traveler brings technology back from the inner world, it is the same.

  At this time, Zhang Jian was about to drive the Arctic to the sea that Yangyang said.

  In fact, Yangyang didn't understand which direction it was. Now her facial features are still being affected by the force field, so she is still a road idiot.

  Fortunately, Yangyang told Qingchen how many minutes ago it was where he passed by, and Qingchen determined the location of the crab farm.

   "Wait, don't drive over there yet," Qing Chen frowned.

   "What's wrong," Old John asked puzzled.

  He looked around, then handed the binoculars to Old John: “There are always boats following us far away. First go around with them, don’t lead them to the place where we are going to drop the cage.”

  Old John froze 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 figure of the Alps through the telescope, he still called Zhang Jian: "Zhang, we are going around with the Alps."

  Old John looked at Qing Chen in surprise. The Alps was like a small white spot in the distance. This boy didn’t use a telescope just now. How did he discover the Alps.

  Moreover, Qing Chen's tone seemed to be very sure where they were going, there were really countless king crabs.

  This crab fishing trip was a bit nervous, and the Longtail, Orca, and Alps seemed to faintly surround the Arctic.

  This posture of eye-catching eyes made Old John feel a little uneasy.

  Qingchen asked: "If there is a conflict between the crab boats at sea, what will happen?"

  Old John said with a serious face: "Someone will sneak into the sea and cut the ropes on others' floats, so that all your crab cages will sink to the bottom of the sea."

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "That's it?"

  Old John said: “They all have a lot of diving suits on board, but Zhang Jian did not prepare one for the Arctic in order to save money.”

  This means that they have no chance to fight back at all.

  However, after Old John finished speaking, he found that Qing Chen's face clearly showed a relaxed look.

  To be honest, Qing Chen thought that everyone would fight at sea. If it’s just going to the sea to cut and float...

  Almost meaning.

Floatation is actually a very damaging method, which can cause a heavy loss to a crab boat. There have been several situations like this in the Barents Sea. Either a certain captain put another captain’s wife to sleep, or The port crabman forces are about to shuffle the cards.

   Qingchen looked far away at the edge of the distant sea: "Go to your destination, the Alps is gone."

  Old John turned in that direction, his eyes widened, but he saw nothing: "Why didn't I see anything?"

   Qingchen gave him a strange look: "Of course I can't see it if I'm gone."

  This almost made Old John angry!

  ……

  ……

  While the hull was shaking, Old John directed Yangyang to hang herring bait into the crab cage, and then directed Qing Chen and Niedup to put eight crab cages into the sea one by one.

  Nidepu stared at Qing Chen closely, as if he was afraid that the young man on the opposite side would be lazy when he was thrown into the crab cage.

  After all, a 680-pound crab cage. After Old John used a crane to put the crab cage on the drop platform at the edge of the deck, two people needed 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 heavy.

  However, Nedep feels strange that he seems to save more effort than before...

   Could it be that Zhang Jianzu’s crab cages were of poor quality, so they were lighter?

  Nidepu took a look at Qing Chen, and secretly lifted the crab trap alone...without lifting it.

  One pound is about 0.45 kilograms. If you don’t calculate it carefully, a crab cage is about 610 kilograms. This is something that ordinary people can lift. Otherwise, what do you need to crane on the crab boat...

  However, with this distracting effort, a huge wave rushed forward, and Nedep was hit by the wave and retreated, just stepping on the rope reel.

  The crab cage quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the ropes that flew away in circles seemed to be wrapped around Nidepu’s ankles.

  Old John shouted: "Cut the rope!"

  However, surprisingly, Qing Chen did not do this, and did not even take out the dagger from the work clothes.

  Old John was anxious. He knew how serious the consequences would be if the crew did not do what he said.

  If Nedep were dragged into the sea, they would not survive. In just over ten seconds, the huge pressure on the bottom of the sea would kill Nedep.

  However, another wave came.

  When the waves were about to hit the deck, Old John clearly saw Qing Chen holding the rope with one hand.

  The falling crab cage was suddenly stopped!

  He was stunned for a moment, and held 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 hard to see what was going on.

  When the waves flowed down the deck and into the sea again, Old John held the crane and looked in the direction of Niedup for the first time.

  I saw Nidepu sitting on the deck while Yangyang stood beside him.

  At that moment, Qing Chen pulled on the rope for a moment, causing Nedep's ankle, which had been tightly entangled, to loosen a little.

  Yangyang took advantage of this opportunity to get Niedepura out, and the perfect tacit cooperation between the two saved Niedup’s life.

  But all this is covered by the waves.

  Old John looked at Qing Chen again, the other party did not pull the rope in his hand, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

   "What's the matter?" Old John asked puzzled.

  Nidepu tremblingly said: "I don't know, I thought I was going to fall into the sea, but the girl was pulled out in time."

  In fact, when the second wave came, Nedup didn't know what happened.

  Everything came too fast, and the waves blocked everyone’s sight.

  Old John glanced at Qing Chen 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 does it take? This kind of power slapped a person's face, fearing that it could directly kill a person.

  Old John wasn’t sure if Qing Chen pulled the rope, or it might be that Yangyang moved faster.

  He was full of doubts.

  Old John turned his head and looked at Nidup: "You don't want to die?! Do you know that you can't get distracted on a crab boat? Do you think crab catchers make so much money?"

  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 operating temperature is too low, the working hours are too long, and the waves are too large in winter.

  The low temperature will make the crew unresponsive, and the long working hours will make the crew tired. If you don’t sleep for 20 consecutive hours, even the world’s top e-sports players will make frequent mistakes.

  In this environment, in the face of the worst weather in the world, you can die at any time.

  In the port, there are more sailors who leave due to injuries every year. After the crab-catching season, there are no dead people, a few legs, and a few arms, just as if the money is not earning enough.

  Old John was silent for a moment and asked Qing Chen, “Why didn’t you cut the rope in the first place?”

  Qingchen said: “Zhang Jian said that if a crab cage is lost, the value is 1,000 euros, and it must be compensated to the person who rents him. Zhang Jian is so poor, it must be very distressing to lose a crab cage.”

Old John said coldly: "It's common to lose crab cages on the Barents Sea. Sometimes in stormy weather, sailors are not allowed to throw the hooks and cut the balloon floats. You can lose five or six crab cages in one night. Crab cages are very expensive, but lives are more expensive."

   Qingchen smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, next time I will cut the rope as soon as possible."

  Old John picked up the corded phone on the deck: “Captain, we’re sailing, let’s change to another place.”

  Zhang Jian asked: "The waves just now were too big, are you okay?"

  Old John said: "It's okay."

  Everyone's work clothes were slapped by the sea water. Although this thing is waterproof, it is inevitable that sea water will pour in from the neckline.

  However, this is nothing to crab catchers at all.

  ……

  ……

  The crab boat started, and the crew sat in the cabin eating sandwiches.

  Nidepu feels like he will fall asleep at any time when he eats, and he is close to the limit of his body.

  Another accident happened to Old John. After Qing Chen and Yangyang finished their sandwiches with tired faces, they ran back to the deck and sat again, watching the waves rolling 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 can be resurrected with blood...

  "Do you think this time going to sea, can you encounter the stormy weather you want?" Yangyang asked.

  Qingchen smiled: "No one can say that this is bad. The life and death challenge of the knight depends on luck. The 30-meter wave can be encountered but not desired. Let it happen."

   "Then if you can't wait this time, you will have been waiting in Amsterdam?" Yangyang asked curiously.

   "Well," Qing Chen thought for a while and said: "The next time I cross over, I may encounter very dangerous things, so I must improve my strength."

  According to the plan of the Qing clan’s shadow, the next time he exchanges Qing Mu with the gods, it is very likely that he will not be in the city.

  Kindai will definitely choose a relatively neutral place. There is a high probability that it will be in No. 065 Taboo Land, which is 410 kilometers northeast of City No. 10.

  It is not suitable for large-scale military entry, and the most important thing is that No. 065 has a known rule: the deal concluded cannot be broken.

  Everyone who trades here but goes back and forth, will die because of violation of the rules.

  Therefore, there is even a production base outside the No. 065 Taboo Land that has become a small town. Many wild people and federal people trade here. After the transaction, they agree to each other to leave from the east and west directions to avoid black food.

  I have to say that human beings can always make full use of nature from various angles.

  Qingchen is on the hot search of Weibo in the world, and I have heard of the small town outside the No. 065 taboo. It is called the new dragon hotel in the world...

  Although it seems safe to trade Qingmu there, Qingchen always feels something is wrong.

After all,    is in the wilderness, or a forbidden place, danger is always there.

  Six hours later, Old John stood in front of the hoist with a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "Qing, you throw the claws, we are going to pull up the eight path-finder cages we put in earlier!"

  Zhang Jian held the steering wheel tightly with both hands in the cab, without knowing whether it was sweat or sea water in his palms.

  If the pathfinder cage still cannot find the crabs this time, it means that he needs to continue to change to the next place and consume more fuel.

  Qing Chen floated in the hook again.

  When the ropes of the hoist were tightened, Old John immediately noticed the situation: "In stock!"

  This is the intuition of the old sailor. You only need to look at the speed of the crane when it lifts the crab cage to know if there is a king crab in the crab cage.

  At this time, Old John also became nervous. He looked at the end of the crane, and the straight rope was continuously pulling the crab cage up.

  When the crab cage appeared on the water, Old John was stunned.

  The cages full of king crabs were densely packed, and Nedep looked at him in a daze. 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: "Hoist!"

  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 down.

   "How many are you counting?!" Old John said impatiently.

   Qingchen glanced at it: "132."

  Old John was stunned. He wore his bulky overalls and ran to the wired phone: "Boss, we have found the golden crab farm!"

  Zhang Jian in the cab was stunned, the golden crab farm? !

  What a name this is.

  According to the legend, there is only one crab farm in the Barents Sea where one hundred and twenty king crabs can be caught, and it is worthy of being called a golden crab farm!

  Old John yelled into the phone: "You got rich, did you hear? You got rich!"

  After that, Old John commanded the crew on the deck: "Hurry up and take a caliper to see how many unqualified young crabs!"

  Qing Chen happily took the caliper to measure, and the qualified ones were thrown into the warehouse, the unqualified ones were thrown into the sea, among 132 king crabs, only 6 were unqualified.

  This is a real golden crab farm!

  At this moment, Old John’s eyes when looking at Yang Yang have changed. He is now very sure that these young men and women from China will surely have the legendary magic!

  The other party said that it was just an excuse to look pleasing to the eye. It must have been found that there are crabs on the bottom of the sea to guide the crab boat back here.

  Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence? !

  Also, if this girl is so magical, then he just saw Qing Chen holding the descending rope with one hand, it must not be an illusion!

   Thinking of this, Old John’s eyes towards Qing Chen also changed...

  However, before he could think of anything else, a red and black crab boat came quickly from afar.

   "Long Tail!" Old John's face immediately sank: "No, put all the king crabs into the warehouse and pretend that you haven't salvaged anything."

  This is the golden crab farm, which can produce 132 crabs/cage, absolutely not let other crab boats know about it.

  Otherwise, the Orca, Longtail, and Alps will definitely come to carve up the king crabs here.

   Watching the Long Tail quickly approaching, Old John stood on the deck with a look of nonsense.

More than ten meters away, a middle-aged white man on the deck of the Long Tail looked at the empty crab cages of the Arctic and laughed loudly: "Old John, is the Arctic going to have no grains again this year? Why don't you come now? On my boat, I will give you a sampan."

  Old John shouted angrily: "When I went to sea to catch crabs, you were still bullied into a slug at school, get out, stay away from my pathfinder cage, don’t let you bring bad luck to us!"

  The middle-aged white man took another look at the Arctic carefully, and then waved to the rear to signal the helm of the ship to leave.

  Before the Long Tail was far 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 cages are empty."

The middle-aged man sneered: "Did you not find that the crab cage has been hoisted in the middle of the deck? It is clear that a cage of king crabs has just been unloaded. Besides, don't you see how nervous Old John is? He actually stood on the deck. He doesn't move. He jumped up a long time ago to send my mother away! Go and tell Finr and Craig by radio that there must be a crab farm under the Arctic!"

  ……

  ……

  On the North Pole, Old John waited for the Long Tail to leave, and happily commanded the crew to raise the remaining pathfinder cage.

  Second cage, 113 birds.

  The third cage, 119 birds.

  The fourth cage, 127...

  No cage is lost.

  Old John said with joy: "Here, we put down 80 crab traps, each 400 feet apart!"

  At this time, he did not realize that his poor acting skills had not fooled the captain of the Long Tail at all, and the Orca and Alps were also on their way.

  Qingchen asked Yangyang in a low voice: "How many crabs are there below?"

   Yangyang silently perceives, wanting to directly report an accurate number like Qing Chen, it will look very powerful.

  It’s just that she counted for a long time, but didn’t know how to count, so she replied briefly: "A lot."

   Qingchen: "...Does this answer take a long time to think about?"

  Yangyang calmly said: "I am a little tired."

Qing Chen didn’t worry about this detail. He turned his head to look at Old John: “Let’s put all the crab traps down. I don’t think the Long Tail will leave so easily. In case they come to do a prank again, I’m afraid It is to affect the income of the Arctic."

  Old John just wanted to refute, but he realized that there was something wrong between Qing Chen and Yangyang, so he pondered for a moment and asked: "You think I haven't lied to them just now?"

  Qingchen said earnestly: “The performance is 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 could this be commented? It makes you look 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, 15 knots, we are going to put all the crab cages in here!”

  Zhang Jian was taken aback: "What did Old John say."

  The old John on the side was silent for a long time: "Do as he said."

  After hanging up the phone, Old John took a deep look at Qingchen. I don’t know when, this new sailor who was laughed at by all the port people turned out to be the backbone of the Arctic.

  The North Pole moved slowly.

  Under normal circumstances, crab catchers will cast their nets widely. They will throw 30 crab traps here, and then go a few nautical miles away and put 30 more. After all, the number of king crabs in the same place is limited.

  After dropping the crab cage, go to other places to stroll around, and come back to pick up the crab cage eight hours later.

  But now it’s different. Knowing that it’s the golden crab farm below, they just threw all the crab cages down and didn’t leave!

   Qingchen’s plan is very simple. He thinks the Long Tail will definitely go and return, so they have to guard here!

  This is their golden crab farm!

  Into the night.

  The deck of the North Pole was brightly lit, and everyone was sitting in the cabin, waiting for the time to pull up all the crab cages to see how the harvest was.

  Only Qingchen and Yangyang are still standing on the deck, no matter how the ship shakes, they still stand tall.

  The North Pole has dropped anchor, 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 men and women on the deck, until today he didn't realize that these two people...maybe something wrong.

  Old John secretly told him a lot of things while eating, and the result was that Zhang Jian's expressions changed when he looked at the two.

  Who would have thought that these two new sailors who had been laughed at at the port for two days led them to find the golden crab farm? !

  Furthermore, Old John said that Qing Chen held the falling crab cage with one hand...This is a bit weird, and Zhang Jian will still be suspicious at this time.

  But just as he looked at the back of the two of them, suddenly, Qing Chen turned his head and said, "Here."

  Zhang Jian put down the dinner plate in his hand and walked to the deck to look outside: "I haven't seen the lighthouse on the ship, John, is there any movement on the radar?"

  Old John responded: "No."

   Qingchen said: “It should have been approached after turning off the lights and radar. The visitors were not good.”

  Zhang Jian became nervous.

   Then, he saw Qing Chen standing on the icy deck, taking off his heavy work clothes, leaving only a pair of swimsuit shorts inside.

   "You...what are you going to do?" Zhang Jian was stunned. The other party had already put on a swimsuit in it? !

  The next moment, Qing Chen jumped into the cold water without wearing a diving suit or carrying an oxygen tank, so he jumped abruptly.

  In an instant, Zhang Jian felt like he was watching DC's movie "Aquaman"!

  Zhang Jian stammered at Yangyang: "He...he!"

  Yangyang smiled in the dark night: "Don't worry, he's okay."

  ……

  6000-word chapter, updated 12,000 words today, and finally paid off what I owed a few days ago...Relieved.
