Return To 1977 Chapter 154: Full Moon Sea

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Although "Full Moon Sea" and "Xinghuo Bay" are only separated by a flint mountain with flying rocks and cliffs. But the scene here is very different.

The "Full Moon Sea" in the morning light is not only flat, but the vast sea is also calm. There are also a lot of burned firewood ashes and remaining shells of "oysters", "sea reds" and "scallops" on the shore, as well as several piles of burning bonfires scattered at different locations on the coast.

After arriving here at five o'clock in the morning, "Old Saury" used the scene in front of him to teach Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan a common sense lesson about the beach.

He said that the Liaodong Peninsula has a winding coastline and countless large and small bays, but not every bay has goods. Due to geological differences, each bay also has its own specialties.

Like a bay with lots of fine sand and lots of sea cucumbers. In bays with many turmeric stones, there are many conches. Bays with lots of granite and lots of scallops. At this time of year, the sea cucumbers have retreated into the deep sea, so the turmeric and granite bays have become a treasure.

This is the Granite Bay. Because of the gentle wind and calm waves, it has become the favorite place for "sea bumpers" to gather together. There are many "strong" shallow "sea bumpers" and "quasi-sea bumpers" for beginners, all of whom are frequent visitors here.

Like those burning bonfires, people who have gone to the sea are warming themselves up. There are roughly three or four people in each bonfire. In addition, it is not difficult to tell from the ash pile how many people have visited this beach.

Generally speaking, one "sea bumper" is enough to sweep an area as big as a football field, so it can be judged that the "sea bumper" has been completely overwhelmed here. There won't be too many things in the shallow sea area, so you can only hope for something in the deep sea area.

For this reason, he specifically reminded Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to observe the surroundings before going to any beach to see how many piles of burned ash there were. As long as you make a rough calculation, you can basically determine whether to give up there.

This is the experience of "Old Saury". After hearing this, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan nodded in agreement.

In fact, they all knew each other very well. The reason why "Old Swordfish" brought them here was not to make any profit, but mainly to teach them a real deep-water lesson in a relatively safe sea area. District practical class. Only after experiencing today's deep water area can they be regarded as "sea bumpers" in the true sense.

So they were not at all like other "sea bumpers" who had just arrived here. They became depressed when they discovered that there were too many competitors, but they still made serious preparations for entering the water.

With their concerted efforts, a lot of firewood sticks were soon picked up, and the things they brought were gradually placed. Shortly after the sun rose, when the "dry tide bottom" (a jargon term referring to the maximum low tide) was reached, a large new firewood pile was erected on the beach.

At this time, some unfamiliar "sea bumpers" recognized the figure of "Old Sabryfish" through the increasingly bright morning light, and some people took the initiative to approach and talk to them and say hello.

Faced with this situation, "Old Saury" had given special instructions in advance. He said that the sea is common to everyone and is also the source of livelihood for all "sea bumpers". So although the "sea bumpers" are jealous and cruel when they see seafood underwater, no one can dominate territory as arrogantly as the lions on the African grasslands.

Normally, even if dozens of strangers gather in a bay, they will coexist peacefully. Their competition and struggle with each other have always relied solely on their ability to "touch the sea" to determine the outcome.

But the only exception is for strangers. Because no matter where the locals are, they almost always have a "xenophobic" mentality and a "territorial" awareness of local resources. If someone discovers the identity of Hong Yanwu and others from the capital, I am afraid that some disputes will still arise.

So at this moment, Hong Yanwu and the others all pretended to be mute and kept silent, letting "Old Saury" come forward to deal with everything.

In this way, we finally got rid of all these strangers without incident. However, during this process, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan felt very uncomfortable.

For nothing else, the main reason is that these young guys don't really respect "Old Saury". They all speak frivolously, and they all like to play cymbals with "Old Sabry", and they like to make some jokes that are neither serious nor serious in a contemptuous and sarcastic tone. Therefore, while Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan watched indifferently, they both looked resentful and couldn't help but gear up.

As for "Old Swordfish" himself, he seems to be used to this. Of course he could see that these boys from the capital were complaining about him, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart. But nowadays, it is normal for the "Hai Bangzi" to only recognize the fish caught in the sea and not to recognize the seniority. He didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes over this, so he didn't show any sullenness or intention to pursue them. He used his eyes to stop Hong Yanwu and others from showing hostility towards these people.

As soon as these people left, he only said, "Those boys are just third-rate people, don't bother with them," and that was the end of the matter. Then he began to urge Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to quickly follow him into the water.

Seeing the attitude of "Old Saury", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still a little angry, but they couldn't say anything else. Besides, time was precious, and the longer they delayed, the higher the water level would be. So they quickly took off their clothes and swam to the depths of the sea with the "Old Sabryfish". Only "Xiaobaizi" was left on the shore to provide logistical support for everyone.

The water here is particularly clear, and you can almost see the bottom of the shallow water of the "Full Moon Sea" at a glance.

Hong Yanwu and the others swam along and found that, as "Old Saury" had said just now, the bottom of the sea was as clean as if they had passed through a grate.

Not only are the abalone, conch, and scallops completely gone, but there are also not many left of the "thorn pot", "sea red" and "sea oyster" that the "sea bumpers" simply dismiss.

They did not stop until they reached an area where they could no longer see the bottom of the sea. This place was sixty or seventy meters away from the coast.

At this time, "Old Swordfish" first explored the depth of the seabed alone and found that it was about eight (nine) meters in "Wu Tuo Water", and he felt confident. When he returned to the sea, he began to introduce the habits and fishing methods of scallops to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

He said that scallops are the least heat-resistant. In summer and autumn, they go to deep water to escape the heat. It is not until the water gets cold in winter that the scallops move back to shallow water.

The way the scallops move in the water, it's almost like they are "flying". When it needs to be "relocated", it will resolutely and proactively break the connection with the reef, and then it will open its two shells and forcefully open and close them to collect water and drain water. And with the help of the strong recoil generated by this, it finally "flyed" erratically.

As for how to catch scallops, it has become extremely simple.

Since the scallops this season are relocated to a new location and are not firmly connected to the reef foundation, usually the scallops can be removed with just a single tug. Sometimes, the flying landing point of the scallops is not accurate, and they often do not land on the rocks, but on the sandy ground among the rocks. In this case, they can be easily picked up with your hands.

So, there is no practical difficulty in catching scallops. It can basically be done with just one hand, not to mention the need for any special tools. The only key to a rich harvest lies in one's ability to move in deep water and find underwater reefs.

Old Saury was of course full of confidence in the diving abilities of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, so he did not talk about the "luck" skills. The only thing he solemnly warned them about diving was a few precautions to ensure safety on the seabed.

First, when people touch the sea, they must have a sense of scale, not be greedy for money, know how to make choices, and correctly weigh risks.

For example, if a reef hole is too dangerous, don’t drill it hastily. There are currents and deep waters too far away from the shore, so do not take risks. No matter how thick the goods inside are, you must be willing to give up when it’s time to give up.

Secondly, you should be careful when diving in unfamiliar waters and don’t be reckless.

For safety reasons, in places with complex water depths, try to dive to the bottom in two or three times in order to understand the situation on the bottom of the sea. Because although Hong Yanwu and the others are not afraid of being scratched by shells, there is still a risk of being entangled in seaweed and hitting their heads on rocks. There are not many "sea collisions" that lead to death due to these two accidents from ancient times to the present.

Third, always remember that water and water are two different worlds. The deep water area is different from the shallow water area. There is not only the biting cold below, but also the unbearable pressure.

Once you dive deeper than five or six meters, people begin to suffer. When the height reaches eight (nine) meters, the person will be squeezed by the pressure and become extremely painful. The ultimate diving limit for humans is basically around 20 meters. Once you reach this depth, there is an increase of two atmospheres of pressure. It's useless even if I can dive further. By then, not only will the water mirror glass be crushed, but people will also suffer from "diving disease."

In addition, precisely because of the existence of underwater pressure, two unexpected situations are likely to occur. The first is water leakage from the water mirror, and the second is nasal bleeding.

No matter what situation you encounter, you cannot take off the water mirror at that time. You must hold your breath and surface quickly. This is because the pressure underwater is high, and it is easier to choke without a water mirror.

Especially for nasal bleeding, the scene may be very scary, and the water mirror will often turn red, making it difficult to see anything clearly. But there’s really no need to worry, because that’s just a level that beginners have to go through.

Everyone in this industry knows that every time a "sea bumper" touches deep water, his nose will be broken once, but it will never be broken again from then on. This is like taking the diploma exam, once and for all.

So if you really have a broken nose, just go to the sea, take off the water mirror, wash it, and flush your nose. There will never be any serious consequences.

After talking about diving, "Old Swordfish" finally talked about how to quickly discover underwater reefs.

In fact, this issue has always been the most troublesome issue for "Haichangzi". Because without reefs there would be no sea creatures. The reason why "sea bumpers" like and are not afraid of reefs is because there are goods in the reefs.

However, in a strange bay, if people always bury their heads in the water to search, their eyes will soon have hallucinations, as if they feel that they are surrounded by reefs. But at this time, if one dives in suddenly, he can only see an empty beach. It will make people frustrated for a long time.

You know, "Hui Bangzi" is most afraid of "Kong Mengzi", because people rely entirely on their mental strength. If there is something under the water, "Hai Bangzi" will work harder and harder, and he will be in high spirits no matter how tired he is. But if you have to hit three "Kong Mengzi" in succession, you will feel that your energy for the whole day will be used up.

However, "Old Saury" is "Old Saury" after all, and he actually has his own unique know-how in this matter.

I saw him smiling mysteriously, and then told Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan very proudly.

“If you are going to dive on a beach where you have never dived before, don’t use your eyes to find the reef, you must use your ears!”
