Chapter 435: Capture
An opportunity to make a fortune seemed to be just around the corner!
During this period, Da Huangya, who was the most well-informed in the village, shouted at everyone he saw: "Longze shrimp! Longze shrimp!"
"Three hundred kilometers away from the coastline, there is a migration trend of Longze shrimp. These guys are good things. They are quite valuable in big cities! Do you understand?"
"A big harvest is equivalent to a net profit of... one million federal coins! Zhang Ma Che from the next village has turned over a new leaf and made a fortune, made a fortune!"
He couldn't help but be tempted. A harvest of one million yuan at a time is enough for him to farm for many years!
When he ran to the next village and saw the real big harvest, he began to grit his teeth and prepare for this voyage.
Time waits for no one. When the migration trend passes, there will be no opportunity.
In this era, because of the large number of solar energy equipment, the price of electricity is divided into several levels. The lowest level is still barely acceptable to ordinary people.
But industrial fuels, which require industrial manufacturing, naturally become quite expensive materials, at least ten times more expensive than gasoline thousands of years ago!
However, fishing in the deep sea hundreds of kilometers away cannot be done by relying on storage batteries alone. The slow power generation of solar panels on the ship is also not enough.
The power of hundreds of watts of solar energy cannot support a proper engine, and fuel is still needed in the end.
Life without fossil energy can only be like this... No matter how powerful solar energy is, it is difficult to truly match the fossil fuels that take tens of millions of years to generate. Fossil resources can not only be used as fuel for cars and machines, but also for making other products, such as plastics, synthetic fibers, detergents and medicines.
Without fossil resources, if you want to use other things instead, you have to consume extra energy. In particular, the greatly increased freight rates have indirectly increased the prices of various commodities.
"Real gasoline is impossible to afford. Several newly discovered shale oil fields have been controlled by the state. They are military supplies... So you can only use alcohol!"
These alcohols are brewed from grains and can barely be used after being purified in the factory. In addition to the various manpower costs... This voyage is also a huge burden for the Shalinduo family, and some of the funds are even borrowed from banks.
But the good times didn't last long, and things didn't go as planned...
Shalinduo faced the empty fishing nets with a sad face and sighed.
"...Alei, if there is no harvest, we have to go back. How can we pay back the bank loan? Do we have to sell the fishing boat again? No, how about cutting a gallbladder to pay off the debt?!"
The life of fishermen is like this, and every trip is a gamble. Either a big harvest or nothing, ecstasy and frustration are common.
If there is no harvest within three days, they will return at a loss. Because their alcohol will soon run out, and without fuel, they can't swim back.
"Longze shrimp, golden water gallbladder... Mother Ocean, bless, bless, bless... There must be a harvest within three days!!" Shalinduo clasped his hands together and was muttering superstitiously.
I don't know how many days he hasn't washed his face, which makes him look a little decadent. Without a harvest, he is really decadent.
Suddenly, his ears moved and he heard a faint cry.
"Shalinduo, there, look there!" It was his cousin, Mariya.
The young man showed his strong upper body, holding a telescope and shouting: "There seems to be someone there! Someone is calling for help!"
Shalinduo did not hesitate, took the telescope and looked, and a red kayak appeared in the field of vision, about three kilometers away.
Two men in strange clothes were waving at them constantly, and the roars were also made by them. What's even more strange is that they have a glass cover on their heads.
"Why is there a glass cover, are they divers?" Shalinduo muttered in his heart, but without thinking too much, he waved his hands quickly, "Save them, brothers, save them quickly!"
As the fishing boat slowly approached, Zhao Yao and others' heartbeats became faster and faster.
These indigenous people... look really like humans!
However, they could not speak the native language, so they could only yell at the top of their lungs: "Ah! Ah! Baga!"
"Yala, where are you hitting!" This small fishing boat was about four meters high, and a shabby man was shouting at them, while lowering a long rope.
Zhao Yao did not understand what he was shouting, but just grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Shalinduo's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost. He originally wanted to pull it, but he did not expect this fat and strong man to jump up like a monkey.
"...He is as light as lightning, and he must be good at catching fish!"
But before he had time to think more, Zhao Yao had climbed onto the boat and reached out to touch his face, and Shalinduo rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Come and compete with thieves?!"
Seeing Shalinduo faint, his cousin Ma Ya shouted angrily, waving his hand to attack Zhao Yao, but he did not expect the other party's actions to be like a ghost. Ma Ya dared to swear that he had never seen someone who moved so fast since he was a child.
"Ah, Ah, Ah!"
With a swish, a big hand touched his face, and Mariya felt a current running through his head, then fainted on the ground, unconscious...
In this way, within a minute, all the people on the fishing boat were killed. A total of five men and four women, lying on the deck.
"I'm sorry." Zhao Yao panted and said.
Another soldier was searching the room for something and found satellite TV, satellite radio, some entertainment books, and some indigenous banknotes.
"There's still a little bit of gain."
Zhao Yao nodded and immediately notified the submarine below: "I'm Zhao Yao. All the indigenous people on the ship are unconscious. Come over quickly... I found a lot of good things!"
"Okay, okay, pack them all up and take them away!"
...
Sha Linduo woke up slowly, still in a state of confusion. He felt a splitting headache and was at a loss.
A personal sense of crisis made him look around and found himself in an unknown claustrophobic place.
A... very small room! The surrounding walls are silver, and there is a unique smell of metal.
There is only a one-meter-wide bed in the room, and he is the only one. His hands and feet are handcuffed, his clothes are stripped off, and even his underwear is gone.
"What's going on? Crossing?" Sha Linduo endured the pain in his head and thought wildly.
After a long while, he recalled that he was attacked by a burly man and came here after he fainted.
"Damn it... Was I caught for human experiments? A crazy woman liked my looks?"
As soon as these thoughts came out, the fear in his heart made him scream hysterically "Ahhh!". But his hands and feet were handcuffed and he couldn't move at all.
Then, the bed began to move, and the door slowly opened, sending him to a circular detection device.
"What is that cylinder? A slaughterhouse? I'm going to be slaughtered! Ahhhh!"
As the bed moved, Shalinduo was instantly scared out of his wits and screamed like a pig being slaughtered, with a nervous feeling that he wanted to shit and piss. His face was flushed, and he raised his head desperately, trying to see the machine clearly.
When he finally saw it clearly, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately... there are no blades, why does it look like a physical examination device? Hey, it's a little itchy?"
After seeing a bunch of instruments moving around on his body and not causing any harm, Shalinduo felt a little relieved. He had seen similar things in large hospitals before.
He began to worry about the crew on the ship again.
"I don't know how they are doing. Some of them are hired workers. If a few of them die, I don't know how much money I have to pay..."
Some of them are his family members... He couldn't help but worry.
