Chapter 374: Hengyuan Fishing No. 188 (Guarantee 1)
The east side of the Luzon Trench.
A Hengyuanyu No. 188 armed fishing boat is sailing on the sea.
"It's Wednesday, and we don't seem to have caught any fish yet."
When Han Youwei was talking, she found that the buoy had sunk, so she quickly pulled up the fishing rod and caught a hairtail.
However, she said that she did not catch any fish, which was obviously not an ordinary fish.
This Hengyuanyu No. 188 armed fishing boat is the bait proposed by Fang Yuan to catch sea monsters.
Moreover, the Maritime Safety Administration has suspended the approval for seagoing fishing vessels to go to sea.
Therefore, from this week onwards, in the area from the East China Sea to the Sulawesi Sea, there is basically only this Hengyuanyu 188 floating on the sea.
In theory, the probability of catching "fish" is very high.
Hengyuanyu 188 went to sea on Monday night, and sailed south along the East China Sea on Tuesday morning.
It is now Wednesday, and we have reached the east side of the Luzon Trench, and continue to sail south, heading towards the Sulawesi Sea.
There were a total of 52 people on board, including 12 members of the military scientific research team, 20 soldiers from the Awakened Army, and 20 crew members from Hengyuan Fishery.
These 52 people are the bait this time. If they successfully catch the sea monster, they will be able to complete this mission and protect the safety of the sea area.
If you are unfortunately eaten by a sea monster, it means that the mission has failed.
This fishing operation was in charge of members of the military scientific research team in the East China Sea.
Fang Yuan, Han Youwei, Eve, Niu Dazhi, Ye Zheyu, Zhao Anya, Du Jun, Chen Xingjie, Guo Xiaofeng, Gao Hongjian and others are among them.
In order to ensure the safety of this mission, the Hengyuanyu No. 188 had its weapons upgraded before going to sea.
The full load displacement is 3000 tons.
Equipped with a 76mm naval gun, two twin-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft guns, two anti-submarine torpedoes, and depth charges.
The firepower of the entire armed fishing boat has been raised to a higher level.
Except for the absence of missiles, the firepower of the Hengyuanyu 188 has already caught up with the frigate with a displacement of 1,000 tons.
When encountering the frigates of the Philippines, it is uncertain who will sink after a battle.
In addition, there are surprises hidden in the belly of Hengyuanyu 188.
The belly of the boat was originally used to store fish, but this time it was not for fishing, but for "fish", so the fishing was all fake.
Han Youwei caught a hairtail, and Eve hurried up with the bucket, put the hairtail into the bucket, and slowly unhooked the fish.
"The fish that Youwei catches must be delicious."
Lying on the deck basking in the sun, Beef Ball muttered: "If only we were on vacation on a yacht, there is a danger of being eaten at any time. It's not fun at all."
"How do I see that you are having a good time?" Eve turned her head and gave him a white look.
"I hope to see that sea monster soon. Today is Wednesday. According to calculations, there will definitely be accidents in the three days of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If we have not been attacked by sea monsters, there must be other fishing boats. attack." Han Youwei said worriedly.
"Don't worry. Hurry up, it's not today, it's tomorrow." Fang Yuan lay on the beach chair, blocking the noon sun with his hands.
"Why are you so sure?" Han Youwei asked curiously.
"I read the information again last night, the place and time of the accident are regular." Fang Yuan replied.
Eve sat down, took out the tablet, called up the information, and watched it with Han Youwei.
"What rule?"
Fang Yuan blocked the sun with his hands, closed his eyes and rested, and explained by the way: "First of all, let's assume that if the sea monster is really a biological research project of a certain company. According to the workday rule, data collection and technical adjustments will be carried out on Monday, and then on Tuesday Let the kraken out, get the kraken back before get off work Friday...
"If this assumption is true, then a simple rule can be obtained. The place where the accident occurred on Tuesday should be closer to the sea monster's lair, while Wednesday and Thursday should be farther away. It happens that this rule can be seen in the data. According to the location Near and far, we can initially delineate the possible range of a sea monster lair."
Han Youwei and Eve also discovered this pattern when they heard the explanation and looked at the information.
Eve immediately drew a circle in the notebook and said, "So, the sea monster's lair is just southeast of the Luzon Trench, and it should be on an island."
"It may also be near the Sulawesi Sea, the Guruma Strait and the Garo Islands." Fang Yuan added.
"If the guess is correct, we are already very close to the sea monster's lair." Han Youwei took a deep breath, suddenly a little nervous.
"So, according to my prediction, if the fishing is successful, the sea monster should appear tonight." Fang Yuan expressed his guess.
"When you said that, I suddenly became nervous." Beef Ball touched his arm, and suddenly felt the sea breeze was a bit cold.
"You fish slowly, I'll take a nap first, I may not have any sleep tonight." Fang Yuan stretched himself, dragged the recliner to a shaded place, and began to sleep.
Since the sea monsters only appeared at night, the Awakened soldiers on the ship had adjusted their schedules as much as possible, resting during the day and staying awake at night.
It was getting darker as the sun dipped below the sea level.
After dinner, 12 members of the military scientific research class got together for a meeting.
Zhao Anya began to speak: "According to the analysis results after collecting the data, tonight is the most likely time to encounter sea monsters, cheer up everyone.
"According to the descriptions of the survivors, when sea monsters appear, they will be accompanied by a large group of sea star beasts, which is a very big test for us.
"Everyone, according to your respective responsibilities, stick to every position that needs to be defended. In the end, I hope that the sea monster will find us, otherwise another ocean-going fishing boat will suffer."
After the meeting, everyone went to their responsible positions to prepare for tonight's test.
The 76mm main gun of Hengyuanyu No. 188 is in charge of the artillery transferred from the Awakened Army, which is professional after all.
Ye Zheyu was allocated a 37mm air-to-ground cannon.
Before the sea monster appeared, he ran to the position of the 76mm main gun and asked the artillery team leader of the Awakened Army for advice.
"I usually use guns more often, and I rarely use machine guns. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Your double-barreled dual-purpose gun is actually not much different from a machine gun. You just need to pay attention..." The artillery team leader of the Awakened Army began to explain some experience in controlling dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Zhao Anya lay on the railing of the deck, staring at the sea in the distance with her abilities, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she focused her eyes and said, "There is movement, and there is a star power reaction in the spectrum."
Fang Yuan quickly pressed the communicator and said: "Ye Zheyu, pay attention to the situation at the bottom of the water."
"Okay." Ye Zheyu immediately controlled the released six ghost eyes, sank to the bottom of the sea, and paid close attention to the situation within 800 meters of the bottom of the ship.
