Chapter 1707 Command (Supplement)
Ye Yaodong didn't blame him for being distracted and not looking carefully, which caused the fishing net to get stuck on the reef.
There will always be times of oversight, especially with such high-intensity fishing work at sea. With poor food and sleep, and constant mental strain, mistakes are inevitable, but as long as they can be remedied, that's fine.
Boat No. 8 had a very good catch this time. The bright red sea bream floating in the net looked festive and auspicious, indicating that they had caught a school of sea bream.
Before this was over, before all the cargo had been unloaded, the walkie-talkie crackled with the sounds of other people.
"The density of fish on my radar is very high, but they are all small specks. They don't look like mackerel or ribbonfish, nor are they any other big fish. Should I cast a net? If it's just a bunch of small, unwanted fish, it feels like a waste."
"After leaving the internet cafe, we can continue to search for fish while surfing the net. Small fish are fine too, as they can be directly processed into fishmeal."
"Okay, then I'll tell the workers to take the nets off."
It's only when Ye Yaodong is around that everyone has to talk to him about every little thing, and then let him make the decisions. If he weren't around, they would figure things out on their own and make decisions without any major problems.
He then asked which ship it was. They were hoisting cargo over there, but he didn't see any cargo leaking out, so it shouldn't be a big problem. He then moved to the location of ship number 9.
His boat is still quite maneuverable; it goes wherever there's a problem, since it's just sitting idle anyway, so he might as well patrol the area.
Upon reaching the area reported by ship number 9, he instructed the deck crew, "Put down a detection net, 20 meters deep, and pull it up in two or three minutes."
"receive."
After waiting for about 15 minutes, the deck worker replied, "Boss, it's white pomfret! They're everywhere, all about 10 or 20 centimeters long, and they're all lively and jumping around!"
"So it's a white pomfret. Not bad, white pomfret is valuable."
Ye Yaodong pressed the intercom again to notify ship number 9.
"Oh, it's pomfret. As long as it's pomfret, that's good. Pomfret is one of the most popular fish. I've already cast my net and am chasing after the school of fish. I'll report the number when I haul it in later."
After the No. 8 ship had finished unloading all the cargo, it reported that the fishing net only had a small tear, which would not affect the fishing. It could be repaired when it returned to shore next time.
Fishing nets also need maintenance every now and then. During the fishing process, fishing nets will always be damaged. Various fish of all sizes in the sea, some of which are fierce, as well as unexpected events such as reefs, can easily cause fishing nets to break.
He has several nets on hand in his processing plant, just in case, and he can replace them with new ones. Anyway, the fish-collecting boat only comes every two or three days, so he can replace them in time.
Ye Yaodong just wandered around, running over to check whatever was being said on the walkie-talkie, moving things wherever needed, so he wasn't bored.
I run around three or four places a day, and then it gets dark.
Suddenly, he glanced at the sky outside the cockpit window and saw large patches of dark clouds drifting in just as it got dark.
The gray clouds hung very low, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, suddenly picked up in strength, causing the ship to sway slightly and uncontrollably.
He immediately switched to the radio, which broadcast a weather warning: "Attention all members! Attention! A short-term strong convection, accompanied by gale-force winds of level 8 and showers, will occur in the eastern waters of DYD, lasting for 1.5 hours. Please take precautions! All fishing boats, please take precautions!"
At this moment, the other people on the walkie-talkie also heard the broadcast and quickly communicated with each other on their walkie-talkies to notify each other.
"Boss, there will be strong convection later, lasting for an hour and a half..."
"I heard the broadcast too. Should we stop operations and bring in the nets immediately?"
"Attention everyone! Attention everyone!" Ye Yaodong grabbed the boat's megaphone and his voice carried through the wind and waves to all the fishing boats. "Pull in the nets immediately! Take precautions to avoid danger. The strong air currents will last for about an hour and a half."
Boat number 8 had just finished unloading its cargo and was now packing up its fishing gear and coming over. It was just a coincidence that it arrived. I feel safer following this big boat.
After shouting, he immediately adjusted the course, positioning the refrigerated cargo ship to face the wind side to reduce its wind-exposed area. He then shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Remember to check the ice hopper cover again! Secure it with the bolts to prevent waves from getting in!"
"receive."
"For the cargo that hasn't been sorted yet after it's been hoisted up, tie the baskets to the railing with ropes, and everyone go inside the cabin! We'll come out and sort things out when the waves calm down!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than large raindrops began to pound on the deck, making a frighteningly loud "pitter-patter" sound.
His windshield was also instantly smashed and covered in water droplets, and the wipers immediately turned on.
"Damn it, it started raining as soon as it was told, and it was really on time. I've never seen it so punctual before. Everything was fine during the day, but as soon as night fell, the raindrops were as big as beans."
"The order was just given, and the crew was still busy when the rain started. The broadcast notification was too slow; we couldn't even react in time."
"Who says otherwise? Ever since they said it would rain today, but it didn't rain today. Before it got dark, I switched to the weather channel to keep an eye on it. And now they're only notifying us."
"There have been too many sunny days lately, and spring is almost here. A spring rain brings warmth."
Time flies by so quickly, it's hard to believe until you start talking about it. But once you start talking about it, it feels like spring is just around the corner.
Ye Yaodong said, "All ships, pay attention to safety and the people on deck. Don't let anyone linger on deck. Everyone should go back to the cabin. Anyway, the rain will be over in an hour and a half."
"Received, the order has been given. While the rain has just started and isn't too heavy yet, gather and secure everything on the deck, and everyone go back to the cabin immediately."
"Dongzi, we've only hauled half of our trawl nets..."
"Quickly bring them in as soon as possible. Everything else is secondary when it comes to the weather. Let's bring them in now and continue casting the nets once the bad weather has passed."
Everyone moved.
As the rain began to fall, Ye Yaodong held the walkie-talkie in one hand and kept an eye on the radar and wind vane with the other. He also called out the captain and occasionally shouted instructions to the bridge to adjust the course.
"Report which boats still have their fishing nets hauled in?"
"Dongyu No. 1..."
"Great Smooth Sailing..."
Everyone reported that they were already closing in the nets. They started closing in as soon as they heard there would be strong convection, but it wasn't very fast.
"Try to be as fast as possible, but also make sure the crew is careful."
"This rain just started out of nowhere..."
"Thank goodness there was no thunder, it's springtime and things tend to be..."
"Pah, shut up and stop jinxing it. It's not even the time of the Awakening of Insects yet, where would spring thunder come from?"
"Still have time to argue? Pay more attention to the situation at sea and watch out for your own fishing boat."
Everyone immediately fell silent, and the walkie-talkies began to report the situation.
P.S.: I'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open, but I managed to get today's update.
