Chapter 1452

Another reason why emperor crabs don't belong to crabs is that real crabs are fast walkers. Once they act on the seabed, they run fast. Emperor crabs are different. They are walkers. They walk leisurely and have a taste of sea gentleman.

But if anyone really thinks they are gentlemen, it can only be said that they are blind. The temperament of emperor crab is very tough and the appetite is very greedy!

These guys with big shells and small pot covers like to live in groups. When they prey, they will also be in a nest. If they stare at them, even the little sharks have to kneel. Once surrounded, they wait to be dismembered.

In addition, the appearance of emperor crabs shows their ferocity. Their shells and legs are covered with sharp barbs. They are naturally dressed in soft hedgehog armor, and there are few natural enemies in the waters of the north and south poles.

On the deck, Qin Shiou conveyed the fishing task, and the fisherman in his twenties was busy.

"Old Geng, look after your four people later. Don't start yet. Let Shaq lead the team in the first two rounds of work. Just have a good look, okay?" Qin Shiou specifically told.

As mentioned above, catching king crab is a very dangerous job. Death is not rare, and injuries are common. If all the staff of a crab boat are healthy and no one is injured during the crab season, it can be said that God bless them.

This is no exaggeration. From the beginning to the end of the king crab fishing season of each season, there are often only four or five days. During these four or five days, the work of crab fishing boats is tense and heavy, and the fishermen have no more than five hours of rest every day.

Tired and sleepy, the result is that it is difficult to concentrate, and it is easy to have problems.

From the moment they got on the crab boat, the fishermen were always in danger.

The fishermen in farewell town are all such veterans, even if they have not done such work, they have heard of it. Therefore, Qin Shiou nodded and said that everyone cheered up after the formal commencement.

King crabs live in the deep sea. To catch them, we need a stronger existence than other fishing equipment, that is, super crab cage.

This kind of crab catching cage is flat and cylindrical. The diameter of the cage mouth is about two and a half meters. The whole body is solid steel bars, full of 300 kg. Otherwise, it can't sink into the deep sea.

In order to make rational use of the fishing boat space, these crab cages are stacked high. Steel monsters more than ten meters high are stacked together. They are tied very firmly and tightly. They are imprisoned by thick iron chains with fingers and thick cables with arms.

Geng Junjie took four Chinese soldiers and looked curiously nearby. Qin Shiou said, "if you have any questions, just mention them. I need you to become the best fisherman in the shortest time, okay?"

A young man said, "boss, I want to ask, do these crab cages have to be tied so tightly?"

Shaq, who followed Qin Shiou, answered the question: "man, you have to know that the North Atlantic is a girl with a strange temper. October to December every year is the most stormy time. Once it enters January, its wind and waves will be much smaller. We didn't encounter particularly big waves all the way. God bless us. "

"But normally, biologists set a fishing quota every year according to the growth of emperor crab, and the government gives a crab catching period. This period is in October, that is, crab fishing ships have to go to sea when the wind is the strongest."

"Have you ever met a sea breeze with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour? Have you ever walked through ten meter high waves? "

Geng Junjie shook his head, but the other four nodded and said naturally, "when I was on the fleet, such sea winds and huge waves were very common."

In addition to Geng Junjie, the other four people are retired Marines. This is the first consideration of Qin Shiou in addition to his personality when recruiting. Navy soldiers have one advantage, that is, they can get on board immediately and don't get seasick.

For fishermen, the most fatal thing is seasickness. Once seasick, let alone work, whether they can go back alive or not.

Listening to what they said, shack smiled, "then you understand? When a ship goes through the waves ten meters high, the things on it can't be tied too firmly. "

The sea monster commanded two calm fishermen to untie the rope, then the crane started, and one crab cage was put down.

It is inevitable that there will be strong winds on the sea. The melon princess is shaking rhythmically. After these crab cages are released, they seem to become beasts escaping from the cage under the push of the waves, full of lethality.

"When you put these big guys weighing 300 kg into the sea, you must be extra careful to avoid getting caught in the crab cage and falling into the cage. I don't think you want to be the first big crab here, do you?" Said Shaq.

Several people laughed, and the sea monster heard the laughter and warned them, "don't laugh, do you think Shaq is joking? Fark! Just seven years ago, my cousin Bruno was caught in a fucking crab cage. Do you know what the result is? When we fished up the crab cage again, his heart was full of ice! "

A fisherman nearby patted the sea monster on the shoulder and whispered, "Bruno lives well in heaven. Don't think about it."

Geng Junjie was silent for a moment. He went up and hugged the sea monster's shoulder and said in not fluent English, "sorry, man, our fault. We will take this job seriously. It's terrible, isn't it?"

The sea monster reluctantly smiled and said, "but don't be afraid of it."

As long as we deal with it carefully, it is not so dangerous to catch emperor crab. Qin Shiou doesn't need to take risks now. This is one of the reasons why he decided to go to Greenland in January. The sea weather in November and December is too bad.

One by one, the crab cages fall into the sea in series, containing delicious mackerel, herring and minced cod meat, which is a delicious dish for the greedy king crab. They can never resist such temptation.

After the crab cage was put down, shack and the sea monster each took a team of people to carry out the second work, that is to carefully dry every part of the deck and stern with a mop.

Now it's noon, but the outdoor temperature of the ship still looks like minus ten degrees. In the evening, the temperature will drop to minus twenty degrees.

What does that mean? It means that the roaring waves roll onto the ship. As long as the waves fall, there will be a layer of ice on the ship!

The ice layer will not only lead to smoothness, but also increase the load of the ship, which can easily lead to the capsizing of the crab boat.

"I think you can see that the waves come from one direction. Once a thick ice layer is hung on one side of the hull, our only hope is the coast guard responsible for maritime rescue." While taking the lead, Shaq explained.

Qin Shiou also took the battle. He didn't want to take the lead, but had to exercise. In this environment, it's not good to keep warm only by air conditioning. He had to exercise more to promote blood circulation.
