Chapter 768: 767. Xanadu Island (1/5)

Chapter 768 767. Xanadu Island (15)

After reading the marine meteorological forecast and confirming that the weather in the offshore area in mid-April is relatively peaceful, Li Du is going to leave Jindao and change to another sea area.

He has almost harvested in Jindao, and there are indeed a lot of black gold abalone resources in the surrounding area, but after many years of fishing, there is not much left.

Most of the rest are in relatively deep waters, and Li Du dared not go to those places under the condition of free diving.

Money is precious, life is more expensive!

The location of Golden Island is the Bass Strait. The north of the strait is Melbourne and Victoria, and the south is Tasmania. King Island is sandwiched between the two.

The Bass Strait is very long, and there are many islands around Jindao. These islands are often small in size, and some of them are sandbars and reefs. There is no life on them, so they are quite desolate.

Li Du guessed that there must be black gold abalones living in these sea areas.

In fact, this is not his guess, but the fact that it is the case. Many fishermen have caught black golden abalone around these small islands.

However, it is more difficult to catch black golden abalone in these places. First, the density of abalone populations is low, and second, there are more aquatic organisms, which are more dangerous.

For Li Du, this is not a problem. He is not afraid of the low density of abalone schools, because he is not like ordinary fishermen who use their eyes to look for black gold abalone after diving.

The little flying insect can locate him, and he just needs to follow it.

In the middle of the middle, Haixing 60 dragged the speedboat out to sea...

This time they set off at noon, and as usual, tails followed.

Most of the boats that followed them were speedboats or small boats, and they could not go too deep into the ocean, otherwise the strong waves would destroy their boats.

Starfish 60 is a yacht with a length of nearly 20 meters. It has a relatively large displacement and can withstand waves. It can penetrate farther into the ocean.

Their yacht kept going deep into the ocean, and the tail behind couldn't keep up.

The black gold abalone fishing people were very unfriendly. Seeing Li Du sailing to the deep sea to get rid of them, these people scolded:

"You want to get rid of us? Don't dream, I don't believe you won't come back, I'll be here waiting for you!"

"Let's go, let's go, keep going, a small broken boat wants to cross the Pacific Ocean? Be careful that you will die in it if you are overturned!"

"Next time I will come by a big boat, let me tell you, don't even think about eating alone!"

These insults came intermittently, Li Du and Hans couldn't bear it anymore, and raised their middle fingers to the boat behind.

Lu Guan was equally angry, he said angrily: "I really wish I had the ability to control the ocean, then I would set up a big storm and shoot them into the sea, and let them know the consequences of being cheap!"

"I also hope it can be like this." Hans said, "But supernatural powers only exist in movies and TV, how can they actually exist?"

"Doesn't the boss have special abilities?" Da Ao said suddenly.

Li Du was startled, looked at him in surprise and said, "What do you mean?"

Da Ao grinned, showing a row of big white teeth, and said with a smile: "Your observation ability is beyond ordinary people, isn't this a supernatural power? And Luguan, his hearing is beyond ordinary people, this is also a supernatural power."

Lu Guan said dejectedly: "What kind of supernatural power is this? It tortures me, but there is no chance for me to get rich."

Li Du heaved a sigh of relief, and he said with a dry smile, "It's because you didn't use it, otherwise it would be of great help to you."

Lu Guan said: "I still hope to have more sensitive observation and vision like you."

"I want to do the same." Da Ao said, "But it's fine if you can give me hearing beyond ordinary people. The boss is right. This is also wealth. You didn't use it right."

"How should I use it to make money?" Luguan asked eagerly.

A group of people began to discuss this topic.

Li Du did not participate in their discussion. He took a chart of the distribution of undercurrents in the Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea, and compared the large map to find the possible location of the Heijinbao distribution group.

According to his experience and experience, the places he is looking for must meet these conditions: surrounding small islands or reefs, passing by the edge of undercurrents, surrounded by seaweed and aquatic plants, and located in submarine volcanic belts.

Small islands or reefs represent shallow waters, and they can only work in shallow waters.

The abundance of seaweed and aquatic plants around means that there is food for Heijin Bao. If there is an undercurrent passing by, the food can be sent there, and the submarine volcanic belt is often Heijin Bao’s favorite place to live.

Soon, he confirmed several locations, and then ordered Brother Wolf to sail over there.

In order to avoid the following tails, they made a big detour and drove on the sea for half a day before reaching the first target sea area.

This sea area is located between Jin Island and the southeast corner, and several small islands stand here.

Li Du released small flying insects to search, but the result was not very optimistic. There were indeed black gold abalones living here, but the number was too small to be of great significance.

Starfish 60 continues to travel east and gradually enters the Tasman Sea.

Near Cape Barron Island he reached another destination.

There is no way to go to the sea here. There are a large number of sea lions and seals living on Cape Barron Island. Some seals swim up and down the sea in search of food.

Seals and sea lions are the natural enemies of abalone fishermen. Although these guys are cute and slow on land, they are well-deserved beasts in the water, and they are definitely worthy of the "leopard and lion" in their names.

These ferocious beasts are always hungry, and humans may be attacked by them as big fish in the water, so this place is very dangerous, and Li Du can't stay here.

They stayed at Cape Barron Island for the night, and he didn't feel depressed. Originally, their purpose was to travel, and making money was considered hunting rabbits, as long as they could make money.

As you can tell from the name, Cape Barron Island is an island located in a corner, so it should be very small.

In fact, this is not the case. Australia is quite vast. Cape Barron Island is just a 'corner' compared to the Australian mainland, but it is quite large for a 'small island'.

The island is 42.3 kilometers long and 22.7 kilometers wide, with an area of ​​464 square kilometers, which is quite large for an island.

Li Du and the others went ashore from the east coast. Here is the first scenic spot on the island, called the lagoon, which is an important wetland in Australia and even in the world.

The sand dunes and beaches on the coast of the lagoon cover an area of ​​4,370 hectares, where many water birds inhabit.

It was the evening when they went ashore, and the weather was still warm in the autumn evening. Many seabirds had not left the southern hemisphere, or were preparing to go to the equator to overwinter and gathered here.

So when they entered the coastal dunes, they saw a spectacular scene:

Numerous large and small seabirds rise and fall in the wetlands, such as pelicans, snake darters, cormorants, black swans, many kinds of wild ducks, white-necked wheat pheasants, purple water chickens, dark water chickens, bone-top chickens, black-throated small pt , Australian White Ibis, Australian Herring Gull, etc., Li Du and others were stunned!
