My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 81 Ocean Overseas Refueling

"Oh?" Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng in surprise.

This time the fishing boat was sailing southward almost all the time, and the harvest along the way was quite good. Xiang Yang thought that Chen Qingsheng would say that he should continue sailing south without thinking, but he didn't expect Chen Qingsheng to say that he wanted to go west.

"What's the reason? Tell me about your specific thoughts." Xiang Yang saw the route to the south last night. It is true that there are not many sea fish. Xiang Yang is not sure about the route to the west, but no matter how good the catch is, it will not be better than before. The southern voyage was poor, and Xiang Yang wanted to see if Chen Qingsheng was really experienced or just a fool.

"Captain, do you still remember what we caught the day before yesterday?" Chen Qingsheng asked.

Xiang Yang nodded.

Chen Qingsheng said: "The marine fish we encountered before were basically tropical marine fish that swim against the cold current to the equator. Now that the cold current is gone, do you think the fish will still migrate to the equator?"

"So you ruled out the south direction? What about the east direction and the north direction?" Xiang Yang asked.

"This is just one of the reasons why I ruled out going south. Now that the weather is getting cooler, there must be the most fish in the tropical sea near the equator. It is impossible to catch fish if you continue going south. The main reason why I don't support going south is that our already It is far away from the shore, and our fishing boats are not equipped with enough equipment or supplies to support us to continue sailing too far south. As for the east and north, going east is Hainan, where there are too many fishing boats and fish have long been given away If you've got all the money, as for going north, don't you just go back?" Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang nodded slightly, "I'll think about it."

"I'm just saying it casually, but it's definitely up to the captain where you want to go." Chen Qingsheng said immediately.

Xiang Yang narrowed his gaze towards the sea level slightly. In fact, he never thought about which direction the fishing boat should sail at all.

If he hadn't found the coral reef peak, Xiang Yang might have thought about Chen Qingsheng's words, but since he found Xiang Yang, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

What Xiang Yang is thinking about now is how long it will take the fishing boat to sail south before it can reach the sea area with Christmas tree worms, and what excuses should the fishing boat use to stop at that sea area after reaching that sea area? down.

Soon He Mingde, Zhou Wang and others also got up, and several old crew members also came towards this side when they saw Xiang Yang chatting with Chen Qingsheng on the deck.

"Lao Qing, Xiao Yang, what are you talking about?" He Mingde asked loudly while stretching his arms.

"Small chat." Chen Qingsheng rushed to answer.

"You guys are really free enough to chat in the early morning." He Mingde yawned, "If you have this time, it's better to sleep for a while."

"I was thinking about which direction the fishing boat should go today. I just met Master Chen and chatted with him for reference." Xiang Yang smiled.

"What advice can he have?" Xu Fang said with a smile: "The fishing boats have all arrived here. They are either heading south or east. Where else can they go?"

"It's true that you can only go in these two directions, but going east will not catch you much, and going south is a good choice." He Mingde also interjected.

"Oh?" Xiang Yang looked at Xu Fang and his uncle. They were both old crew members like Chen Qingsheng. It stands to reason that veteran crew members on the same ship should have the same experience. Why did Chen Qingsheng say that he wanted to go west? But he told He Mingde that he wanted to go east or south.

"Brother De, to the east is Hainan." Chen Qingsheng also reminded aloud.

"I guess you must have suggested to the captain to go west." Xu Fang laughed.

"Is there something wrong?" Chen Qingsheng asked doubtfully.

Xiang Yang also listened carefully.

Xu Fang lit a cigarette for himself, took a good puff, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. You only care about the catch when you stay on the deck for a long time. If you only look at the catch, you must go west." The chances of catching more catches are higher, but going west is the least cost-effective in terms of the income and expenditure ratio of the entire fishing boat.”

Xiang Yang: "Going north means that we are going back to the voyage directly. It is definitely more cost-effective than going west if we catch any fish on the way. It is also a good choice to clean up some of the catches, so going south?"

Although Xiang Yang was determined to sail south, Xiang Yang decided to sail south because he found a Christmas tree worm in a certain sea area in the south. Xiang Yang did not believe that He Mingde and Xu Fang chose to sail south because they also knew a certain area in the south. There are Christmas tree worms in the sea.

"Have you ever heard of refueling off the ocean?" He Mingde asked.

Xiang Yang nodded. Xiang Yang had heard of this word before, but it was not taught in textbooks. Xiang Yang saw it on the ocean forum, but Xiang Yang didn't understand what it was.

He Mingde: "Many ocean-going ships are refueling in the open sea. If you continue to go south, there will be more fishing boats on the sea. As long as we are not too lucky, we will see floating oil tankers on the sea. The oil price of floating fishing boats at sea is higher than that on land. The gas station here is much cheaper.”

After listening to He Mingde's words, Xiang Yang immediately thought of the word "fuel rat", but soon Xiang Yang denied this conjecture, just kidding, which fishing boat refuels and which one is not an astronomical figure? Can there be such a rampant gas guzzler?

"When you refuel at a gas station, the price of gas is calculated at the retail price. The retail fuel also includes vehicle traffic surcharges, such as the length of the journey. The gas station will allocate these costs to the unit price of gasoline, plus the gas station itself. Therefore, the price of oil at the gas station is generally higher than the price of oil in the ocean. Of course, there are also some fuel from unknown sources, but that doesn't matter to us." He Mingde said.

Xiang Yang nodded, "It turns out that there is such a saying about refueling on fishing boats. No wonder you both said to continue sailing south."

"I've learned a lot." Chen Qingsheng also said.

"Xiaoyang, you are the captain. It is up to you to decide which direction to sail, and we will give you an opinion." He Mingde laughed.

"Of course I have no objection. Master Chen, you go and inform the crew on the lower deck to get everyone ready. After half an hour, we will check the equipment on board and then head south." Xiang Yang said.

"Yes, Captain!" Chen Qingsheng immediately ran towards the middle of the deck.

After Chen Qingsheng left, Xiang Yang continued: "Master Xu, we will set off to the south in half an hour. Don't sail too fast. We will drag the net along the way."

"No problem, Captain." Xu Fang nodded immediately, "Then shall I go get ready first?"

"Well, remember to eat breakfast. If there is no accident, you will have to be in the cab all morning today." Xiang Yang said.

"Alright." Xu Fang nodded in agreement.

Xiang Yang looked at He Mingde.

He Mingde immediately said, "I'll check the electrical equipment and the unit, Lao Zhou, go and see if the winch is faulty."
