Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 418: On the art of fishing
The water depth here is about thirty feet (hundred meters), so the length of the main cable has reached two hundred and forty feet, which is far longer than any sea-going ship in Jinxia. When the network port is fully opened, the width is close to sixty feet, which can definitely be regarded as a "big mouth of the blood basin".
In order to weave the main net, the two tree boats took out nearly 30% of the tree species and turned them into golden vines.
It can be said that the net itself is very valuable. If it fails, the initial investment will definitely be a huge loss.
In fact, the elves themselves do not believe that humans can outperform them in fisheries. Therefore, by the time of this day, there were four to five thousand islanders who came to watch. They occupied all the high points at the tail of the tree boat and were enthusiastically looking at the fishing duel.
"It seems that there is no bait in this net. Will the fish really get the bait?"
"It probably depends on luck, let the fish crash into it by themselves."
"But the net is unsealed, and it runs slowly. The fish can swim out even if they enter."
"I don't know about that-they really tried this method?"
"Perhaps mainlanders have no concept of the sea. Although the fishing net is large, it is a little insignificant compared to the sea."
As there are fewer and fewer ropes on the winch, everyone's discussion has gradually become enthusiastic.
Not only the vast number of islanders, but even Sania and Pang Ting are unavoidable. They are just concerned about their identity. The two did not visit the scene in person, but watched the "match" from the tree stand in the center of the tree boat.
"The islanders haven't had such a fuss for a long time." The high priest exclaimed as he looked at the crowds of clansmen in the distance. Who wins and who loses is not an important thing, but it is because it is not important to attract so many people, it is undoubtedly proof that life has become easier.
When I was in exile on the sea, the atmosphere on the island seemed to freeze. At that time, let alone catching more fish than anyone else, I died with my companions and relatives. Few people had time to mourn.
"So who in the world do you think will win?" Pang Ting asked persistently without using this to divert the subject.
Sania shook her head helplessly, "You speak first."
"Of course I think Noah will win." The patriarch of the Sharman family said firmly.
"Then I will vote for Jinxia."
"My lord, have you been too biased towards the mainland side recently?" Pang Ting protested, "In the tree boat fishing competition held on the World Island, it was you with outstanding leadership and ingenious arrangements that made Noah to He won the opponent Messiah with a slight advantage and won the crown of the world’s strongest fishing boat!"
Thinking of this, Sania couldn't help but smile. Although she had only won once, in that year, Noah's Ark was the well-deserved king of fishing. "I didn't expect you to remember."
"How could you forget! You drove the green shuttle to chase the fish, forcing them to get into the hunting range of the thorn algae. I always remember that fascinating posture." Pang Ting stroked his chest, "I have been since then. I believe you will be the most suitable helm for Noah."
"Okay, it doesn't need to be so formal." Sainia smiled and waved her hand. "This kind of competition is worth seeing if there are people betting on both sides? If you and I both choose Noah, we won't win together. Just lose together, then what else is good."
"Uh...isn't it good to cheer for Noah together?"
"Then you want Ai Li to lose?"
"This—"
"Don’t forget, more than half of the people involved in making and fishing fishing nets this time are islanders, and they all have their own residences in Jinxia City." Sainia covered her mouth, "You have to Are they counted as people other than Noah?"
Pang Ting could not answer for a while.
"So it's just one person on one side." She turned to the tail of the tree boat, "In this way, no matter where the islanders live, someone will cheer for them."
……
"Teacher, the cable is over half!" Ai Li reported again.
"Put the screen board."
The two rectangular rubber plates immediately sink into the water with the main cable. They assume the role of a rudder in this system. They can be opened to both sides under the action of the water flow, and the main cable is always tilted to the outside.
So far, the network release work is considered to be successfully completed.
"Okay." Mo Yun clapped his hands, "I'll leave it to you here. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
"Eh? Are you not here to watch? This is a duel between Jinxia and Noah!" Ai Li yelled, "Or, to put it further, it is a duel between mechanism art and thornweed. If you lose, the mechanism will be created. I'm going to be ashamed!"
Slap!
Mo Yun slapped her head with a palm, "Your teacher has never lost in a contest with various organ teachers. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I never waste time in unnecessary places, I stay here when I have time to pray for the fish to drill the net. Why don't you understand?" Mo Yun flicked the horse's tail and turned around. Walking towards the resting place, only a tall back figure was left for Ai Li.
"Teacher...so chic," the little girl couldn't help muttering.
She suddenly wanted to be someone like a teacher.
In an hour and a half.
The Tiandongyi began to turn, pulling the fishing net closer to the tree boat.
After the net board is closed, the two sides of the bag mouth are tied together by the auxiliary cable, and the net bag itself gradually emerges from the water.
All the elves couldn't help taking a breath!
I saw all kinds of fishes crowded behind the net, which looked like a colorful flowerbed at first glance! And the more the net is tightened~IndoMTL.com~, the results are clearer-there are at least tens of thousands of marine fish squeezed on top of the net, not to mention that most of them are underwater!
The sharp-eyed elves have noticed that not only fish are caught along with the trawl nets, but also crabs, prawns, turtles, and some strange things that cannot be named.
Along the specially erected ramp, the six heavenly movement instruments worked together to drag the heavy net bag onto the tree boat.
The last step is to untie the noose at the bottom of the net, let the entire net stand up, and dump all the fish inside from the bottom.
After a while, a majestic "fish mountain" was added to Noah's tree boat.
Uncountable marine fishes are pressed in the mountains, their mouths are difficult to open, crabs and other movable prey are running around, wanting to re-enter the embrace of the sea-but no one cares about those fish that slip through the net. Now, because this fish mountain is so huge that it makes people feel that wasting a little sea cargo is not a big deal.
As for the thorn algae, don't talk about big fish when harvesting. Even the wrapped green prawns and fry must be carefully collected.
This difference alone is enough to make everyone present understand that the efficiency of sea net fishing is not only better than tree crops, but a crushing victory.
For help, [Mimi Reading App] can steal book tickets like stealing food. Come steal the book tickets of your friends and vote for me.
Such a large number of fish can be consumed by the boat for a while.
But this is only the first network, and it takes less than an hour and a half.
If you fish four or five times a day, how much should you get?
There is no doubt that this number will be astonishing.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other—they realized for the first time that the concept of fishing had changed drastically from the moment the trawl entered the water.
