Lake Indiana.
"Close the net!"
The first mate of a magic fishing boat roared.
The sailors on the deck immediately started the magic engine.
"Buzz..."
With a shaking sound, two alloy cables were pulled up.
More than 400 meters away, another fishing boat also pulled up the cable.
The long cable ran out of the lake and quickly extended forward, bringing out the fishing net made of metal wire, like a giant animal gradually rising to the surface.
Finally, the four cables meet in the middle.
It turned out that the two fishing boats were towing the same pair of metal fishing nets, and it was also a surprisingly large super giant fishing net with a width of more than 400 meters.
The net used by ordinary fishermen is only 20 meters long at most, which is quite small compared with the giant net.
"Buzz..."
Magic drives the winch to rotate continuously, the cables are recycled in circles, and more and more fishing nets are exposed to the water.
"Wow Wow... "
Every moment, there are a large number of freshwater fish crazy impact on the fishing net, or jump out of the water, trying to cross the fishing net, return to freedom, the scene is spectacular.
This area of water surrounded by fishing nets, fried pot.
Any fisherman in the alien world will definitely drop his chin on the ground when he sees this scene.
Because there are so many freshwater fish in the net that they can''t even dream of them.
The chief officer looked at the boiling water and grinned happily:
"Hey, guys, this time, more fish are caught in the net than in the last net. I estimate that there are at least 250 tons It seems that we hit a big school of fish... "
There was a slight cheer on the deck.
……
This kind of operation of two fishing boats pulling nets together is called "joint fishing method".
It is a unique skill of the Fishery Department of the sea tide collar.
In the past, when a magic fishing boat was working alone, it used the largest metal fishing net. When one net was spilled, the largest record was 22 tons of sea fish caught in one net.
It''s amazing.
Even on earth, the catch is very good.
It''s even more amazing in the alien world.
Ordinary fishermen can''t catch so many fish in a year, but the fishing boat can do it in one net.
However, the Department of Fisheries of haichaoling thinks that the catch of 20 tons is seriously insufficient.
Because "national conditions" are different.
In the alien world where everything is very big, fishery resources are extremely rich. There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fish in any fish school in the ocean, and there are more than one million big fish schools everywhere.
According to the average body size of each fish is 1.5 meters and the weight is 50 kg, the total weight of the small fish group is at least 2000 tons, the large fish group is no less than 20000 tons, and the larger fish group is hundreds of thousands of tons.
22 tons of sea fish, relative to a school of fish, is just "a feather" on "a chicken".
In other words, the fishing boat worked hard to find "a chicken", only to pluck "a hair" and "the chicken" flew away.
How can the Department of Fisheries be satisfied with this "chicken plucking" fishing method?
I can''t bear it.
Then, to improve fishing efficiency, we must use larger nets.
However, the original largest fishing net was only more than 60 meters long, which obviously could not be used. The Department of Fisheries needed a huge fishing net with a total length of 300 meters or even 400 meters.
This leads to a paradox.
Larger fishing nets must match larger tonnage fishing vessels, and 400 meter fishing nets need at least 1000 ton fishing vessels.
But it''s impossible.
The ocean transportation capacity of the tide collar is extremely tight, and it is not extravagant enough to use a thousand ton ship as a fishing boat.
But there are more ways than difficulties.
A civil servant in the Department of Fisheries suddenly came up with a solution: one boat can''t pull the huge fishing net, but two boats can''t? If it''s not possible, just three or four.
Experiments show that this method is feasible!
Another difficulty of "joint fishing method" is the construction of giant fishing nets.
For other human kingdoms in the alien world, because they did not master the metal wire drawing technology, the 10 meter long metal fishing net could not be made, not to mention the exaggeration of hundreds of meters.
It''s just a piece of cake for the tide collars whose industrial capacity is far beyond the whole world.
What? 450 meters of wire?
No problem. As soon as the magic wire drawing machine is turned on, the wire can be as long as it wants. It can be pulled out 4500 meters.
What? If the length is too long, the material must be strong enough?
No problem. We have magic alloy.
As a result, the combination of the combined fishing method and the giant fishing net has made the fishing capacity of the Department of Fisheries advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of "cutting off the legs of a chicken".In short, after finding a chicken, the fishing boat can successfully "chop" a chicken leg before the chicken flies away.
According to the data, the average catch of a single net is 200 tons, which is almost 10 times of that before. If you encounter a large school of fish, it is not impossible to throw 300 tons of fish in one net.
At the moment, the two fishing boats operating in Indiana Lake were mainly operating near the "base island" off the coast of thousand Lake kingdom.
Most of the sea fish caught by this fleet were made into "Haichao brand" salted dried fish with high quality and low price, which sold well in the whole Qianhu kingdom. It has a great reputation among the middle and lower classes of civilians.
Now the common people in the Kingdom want to eat meat. Their first reaction is to buy a kilo of "Haichao" salted dried fish for a tooth sacrifice.
After entering the storm season, the sea fish around the base Island ran out, and the fleet had no fish to catch for the time being.
With a wave of Renault''s hand, the fleet poured out and crossed a thousand kilometers to Lake Indiana.
……
Looking at the bustling scene in the giant fishing net, the sailors began to talk.
"It''s hard to imagine that the fishery resources in Lake Indiana are so abundant..."
"Yes, the fish in the lake seems to be denser and easier to catch than in the coastal areas..."
"Are the local fishermen stupid? So many fish are not caught, guarding such a rich lake, even hungry? It''s incredible... "
"Maybe it''s the water monster. I heard that the water monsters in Indiana Lake attack fishermen very frequently. Most fishermen dare not go deep into the lake at all. They only dare to stay near the lake bank..."
"It''s not necessarily a water monster. It has something to do with the storm season I heard a civil servant from the Department of Fisheries say that after the storm season, most of the fish will enter the deep sea, but a small number of fish will enter inland freshwater rivers, lakes and other waters Civil servants call this phenomenon "storm migration"... "
"Storm migration? What a strange name Hey, little Walla, it seems that you are very interested in these things. Are you going to be a civil servant in the Department of fisheries? "
"Nonsense, who doesn''t want to be a civil servant? The current civil service examination requires a high level of professional knowledge. If you don''t have enough fishery knowledge, you can''t even pass the written examination of the Department of Fisheries... "
The chief mate''s roar interrupted the sailors'' conversation.
"Guys, ready to go home..."
"All right, chief..."
All the sailors responded in unison, and the deck was busy.
Instead of reclaiming the nets, the two boats hauled huge nets full of fish straight to the shore.
It''s not hard to understand.
The weight of the huge metal fishing net itself is amazing, and with hundreds of tons of fish, the two ships can''t fit it at all. It''s better to drag the net to the shore and then deal with it slowly.
……
Seeing the shadow of the magic fishing boat on the lake, Lord Villarreal immediately jumped up, waved his hands and yelled, directing a large group of people around.
"Let''s all move, the fishing boat will be landing soon..."
"Rhett, you and your people are responsible for getting the fish out of the net Remember to identify the species of fish. Put the precious fish in the designated area and sell them separately in the future Other fish are sent to the place where the catch is disposed of... "
"Dilahut, you take care of the fish, cut off the head, scrape off the scales, dig out the internal organs, and finally clean it again We must work in the way of assembly line. Mr. Garnett from Haichao chamber of Commerce has trained you... "
"Craig, you are responsible for transporting the processed fish to the salted fish processing plant. The speed must be fast By the way, remember to put ice cubes in the wooden box. There are enough ice cubes in the ice maker. This is what Garnett specially asked If you forget, I will show you... "
When the fishing boat arrived at the shore, the LORD looked at the huge metal fishing net and the net full of fish. He couldn''t help opening his mouth.
My God How many fish should there be
He dares to swear that the fish he saw in his life were not as many as the nets in front of him.
Then the Lord became cheerful again with a smile on his face.
Hey, hey, it''s all money
Next to the Lord, Garnett, an employee of the tide chamber of Commerce, glanced at the guy''s financial obsession and shook his head slightly.
To tell you the truth, the Lord treats his employees very harshly, which makes Garnett, who is used to the Lord''s generous style, a little resentful.
But what can we do about it?
At least the Lord abides by the Lord''s "minimum wage of 10 denarii per month" and "maximum working time of 12 hours".
Although these poor people who worked for the LORD were squeezed a little bit, they were in a much better situation than the employees in the handicraft workshop.
When the staff pulled out the large freshwater fish from the fishing net and transported them to the shore, the Lord couldn''t see them with a smile. Suddenly, he bowed slightly to the lake in the distance and praised them devoutly"Under the great crown, you are the invincible God of war, and you are also the Lord of generous wealth."
At this moment, the Lord deeply felt that it was very wise of him to pay a lot of money to hire extraordinary people to capture the silver eel and present it to the crown.
If there were no silver eels, how could they get preferential treatment from the Haichao chamber of Commerce and subscribe for 5% shares of "Indiana Lake salted fish processing plant" at the price of 50000 jinnals?
If there is no silver eel, how can you become a "subcontractor" of Haichao chamber of Commerce and get part of the business of processing fish from salted fish processing factory?
It is true that all those who follow the steps of the crown will surely get enough rewards.
Under the title of God of war, he deserves to be praised as the most fair strong man!
……
"I remember that there were at least 10000 fishermen who depended on Lake Indiana for a living Alas, after the fishing fleet comes here, I''m afraid they will have a hard time.... " Garnett sighed as he gazed at the scene.
"Why do you think so, Mr. Garnett?" LORD looked at Garnett strangely, "the retail price of salted fish set by himself under the crown is only 12 copper nals per kilogram, which is too low to imagine."
"Fishing fleets allow more people to have enough to eat and meat that they can''t eat at ordinary times. Is there anything kinder in the world? Is there anyone kinder than the crown? "
"Well, sir, you are right." Garnett choked hard. "It''s a good thing..."
