It has just entered the afternoon, but the sun has set very early here. Qin Shiou stood on the top of the giant wheel, looking due north with a telescope.
Winnie was jumping around from the cold, and the bear would be proud of it. The brown bear can endure the low temperature of minus 20 degrees, except for the little guy on his boat and the little lynx King Simba, but not others.
??????????????? The tiger, the leopard, the little carrot head, the mink brother and the mink sister can¡¯t stand the low temperature, but they are very determined to sit on the boat because they are wearing the down jackets customized by Wei Ni for them
"My dear, have you seen the polar night?" Wei Ni couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.
The polar night in the Arctic lasts from September to March of the following year. Now is the peak period of the polar night. You can also see it in Greenland, but you have to go further north into the Arctic Circle. You can also see it on Attu Island. Less than.
Qin Shiou shook his head in frustration. All he could see were white and blue, white land and blue ocean.
He had just returned to the cockpit when a voice rang on the radio. A ship had spotted them and asked, "Hey, man, do you need any help?"
Qin Shiou politely replied: "We have no problem, there are catches here, and we want to find some harvest here."
The man said kindly: "Be careful, friends, where you are is the Alex Sea, which leads to hell. Don't be dazzled by money. It's best to get out of there quickly."
Qin Shiou thanked them and said that they were fine and could leave here safely.
Although he said he was confident, the officials of Qin did not dare to be too confident. In the winter, many places in the Greenland sea will freeze. In addition, there are icebergs flowing turbulently in the sea. This thing is very tough and more terrifying than the reef. , once you encounter it, just think about the fate of the Titanic.
Using Poseidon consciousness to lure a large number of king crabs into crab pots, Qin Shiou gathered the fishermen and started collecting the cages while there was still sun.
Someone said: "Captain, king crabs move very slowly. It is best to put the crab pot in the sea for more than 12 hours before fishing it out, otherwise I don't think there will be much harvest."
Shaq gave the man a neck crutch and said loudly: "The first article in the Fisherman's Manual, the captain's order is as heavy as a mountain! Listen to the captain, work quickly, find your own position, and get ready to start work!"
These fishermen were the ones just recruited from the town. They still had doubts about Qin Shiou's abilities. They had only heard legends and had never seen any miracles. Unlike Shaq and others, they believe whatever Qin Shiou says now.
The sky was still bright, Qin Shiou also asked Shaq to turn on the headlights, illuminating every corner of the ship, and at the same time personally commanded, shouting: "Keep your eyes wide open, be careful! I just want to say it again, be careful ! This is the direct line to hell!"
It was getting late, the sea breeze was getting stronger, and the Big Mac Melon Princess was vibrating more violently with the waves.
Because this crab pot is too heavy and there are king crabs in it, it must be pulled by a motor. The speed of the motor pulling the crab pot is quite fast. This is to save time and maintain the activity of king crabs. They can survive in a wet and cold environment for twelve hours.
The motor quickly pulled the thick cable, and the first crab pot was lifted up. The fishermen on both sides had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the handle of the crab pot, dragged it up, changed its direction and pushed it to the deck.
At this time, there must be a fisherman to pick up the crab pot, and a fisherman must quickly wipe away the water around the two fishermen in front to prevent it from freezing, otherwise someone will lose their footing and slip.
With this temperature, if you fall into the sea, you will lose half your life even if you don¡¯t die. Frostbite is a certainty!
This stage is the most tiring and dangerous. The quota given by the government is certain every year. The competition for catching king crabs in Alaska waters is very fierce. You must catch as many as possible within five to six days, otherwise the quota will be completed after five or six days, even if there are king crabs Crab fishing is also prohibited.
? In such conditions, 20-hour shifts are common, and fishermen often work in sub-zero temperatures on slippery and bumpy decks.
So, nearly every Alaskan crabber returns to shore with injuries: crushed hands and fingers, broken ribs, arms and legs. In the worst accidents, people will lose their lives: more than 80% of those who lost their lives were swept off the boat by the extremely fierce seawater and drowned!
Fortunately, the number of red king crabs in Greenland waters is small, and their quota is basically difficult to fulfill, so fishing operations can continue until the last few days of the fishing season, otherwise Qin Shiou will not be able to fish.
Night gradually comes, the sun goes down, and the cold moon appears.?The sea breeze is stronger and colder.
Winnie continuously makes hot coffee and hot cocoa in the kitchen, not only to help the fishermen replenish their lost calories, but also to provide them with energy.
Half of the crab pot was fished out. At this time, a fisherman standing at the opening of the boat and responsible for lifting the cage shouted: "Snow! Hands!"
Without saying much, he could express his meaning clearly in two words. Geng Junjie, who was studying next to him, immediately rushed forward to help him block the gap and cooperated with the fisherman opposite to pull the crab pot.
Qin Shiou went to pick up the fisherman, carried him back to the cabin, helped him take off his clothes, put a cup of hot vodka to his mouth for him to drink, and asked at the same time: "Left hand, right hand?"
"Right hand, captain, thank you!" The fisherman grinned and raised his trembling right hand.
The temperature outside is more than ten degrees below zero. After working for a long time in such an environment, the muscles cannot bear it. Palm spasm is a common symptom. The fisherman's entire right hand became like a chicken claw, and he could no longer control the muscles of his fingers.
Qin Shiou poured some hot vodka into the palm of his hand, rubbed it vigorously from his elbow, all the way to his palm, and helped him lift it up.
The fisherman gasped in pain, but after rubbing it, he felt much better. Slowly his fingers regained consciousness, and he put on his coat and prepared to go out and continue working.
You have to risk your life to catch king crabs, otherwise you will suffer in vain. Before World War II, fishing for king crabs was much more dangerous than it is now. At that time, there was a popular saying among Americans and Russians in Alaska: God only favors the dead here. , which means that if you want to gain a good harvest, you have to risk your life.
Of course, fishermen will also receive generous rewards while putting in hard work and experiencing risks. During the crab fishing season, each crab fishing boat can catch about 50 tons of king crabs on average. During this fishing season, Qin Shiou saw the news saying that fishing boats in Alaska caught a total of 8,800 tons of crabs, worth nearly 100 million US dollars!
What does this mean? On a fully loaded fishing boat, each fisherman can earn US$20,000 to US$100,000 within five days, and captains have more, often hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
??This is a considerable income for fishermen who generally have low educational levels. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
