A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   Gradually, the two fishing boats led by Minami Shuuichi himself had sailed away for about tens of nautical miles. If you plan to catch whales yourself, don't get too far from transport and whale workers. If the distance is too long, it will be too troublesome to transport back and forth.

   "It's good in a warm tropical area. You don't need to wear bulky clothes and you can't feel the cold." Inoue Ami was wearing cool clothes and sipping a cold cola with the hot sea breeze and felt very comfortable and enjoyable.

   "Fortunately, Sister Ami gave me sunscreen, otherwise I would have been tanned." Sakai Xuena said coquettishly. Now the two of them don't have to do tiring work, they can just serve Minano Shuichi specially.

  As a woman of Shuichi Minami, they must not be tanned. Sunscreens are not popular these days. Most of them use sunscreens. Only rich women can afford sunscreens!

   Looking at the big white legs of several girls, Shuichi Minano felt very pleasing to the eye. He now finally understands why Brandon and the others envy him so much. Think about it, what does it feel like to go out to sea for half a year and not see a woman? It is estimated that when you see a sow, you will have to look a few more times. Now he can not only watch, but can watch every day and every night, what else can he do.

   "Although it's not dark, the skin of this wheat is also very beautiful." Minamino Shuichi laughed. Even if you often go to sea, you can't have very fair skin, no matter how well you take care of it. But he also thinks the skin of this wheat is very good, a kind of healthy skin, wild beauty!

   "Ding dong... Humpback whales were found 5 nautical miles from the host in the southwest direction! The coordinates of the fish school are 155.8 longitude and 41.3 latitude. Quantity 2!"

   "So close?" Minano Shuichi was surprised after listening to the system prompt. How could you pass up such a good opportunity when it was so close? Although there are only 2 whales. But one of these whales weighs dozens of tons.

   After knowing the specific location, Shuichi Minano went to drive a fishing boat in person, and the distance of 5 nautical miles was not very far. The speed of his whaling ship can reach 20 knots.

   Humpback whales, also known as humpback whales, humpback whales, and giant whales, belong to the marine mammals of the baleen whale suborder. The name "Zatou" comes from the Japanese "Zatou", which means "pipa", referring to the shape of the whale's back. Tropical warm sea cetaceans. The body is short and wide, generally 13 to 15 meters long, weighs 25-30 tons, and swims slowly. About 8 to 15 kilometers per hour, often making complex sounds similar to "singing", humpback whales inhabit the world's oceans.

   Soon Minano Shuichi's two fishing boats came to the vicinity of the two humpback whales. Of course, this time whaling did not require the 500-ton trawler. Trawls and purse seines are useless against this big guy. They are really too big. If you use a trawling net to catch them, even if they are caught in the net, they will probably be broken by a dead fish from the other side.

   After approaching the two humpback whales that were swimming slowly, the two observers on the observation deck who were looking around finally found them.

   Minamino Shuichi received the news from Miyashita Otaro and gave up the driving position to the person who sailed the boat and ran out immediately.

  When he came to the deck, he saw two huge humpback whales less than fifty meters away from the whaler!

   Looking around, the two humpback whales are like two hills moving slowly in the sea water. Their speed is very slow, at least slower than the speed of fishing boats.

   "Hi... it's a humpback whale! It's so big~" A group of people flocked to the bow to watch the two whales. Their huge size obviously surprised and curious many people.

   At this time, the two humpback whales were eating leisurely. Although they found fishing boats dozens of meters away, they did not feel threatened. As a member of the whales, they live in the ocean and absolutely belong to the dominant position. Usually there is basically no threat, unless they want to kill themselves.

   "Let's go over and fire when you are close to 30 meters!" Minano Xiu yelled.

   "Yes, President!"

  The design of the whaling boat is very scientific, and the cab can see the position of the whale. Whalers are not like those trawlers and purse seines. They all use fishing nets, so the visual requirements are not very high. But whaling boats are different, they have to be very good, just like driving a car, the driver has to be able to look around. This will allow you to get closer to the whales.

   "President, I'm ready!" At this time, a sailor made an ok gesture to Minano Shuichi above the podium.

The    console is a mast at the front of the cab, and there is a viewing console for observing the movement of whales and commanding hunting.

   "Very well, the distance is almost there. Honda-kun, are you ready?" Minami Shuuichi asked the middle-aged man beside him while standing on the bow of the boat.

   This Honda is specially responsible for operating the whaling fort!

  The bow of this ship is equipped with a whaling cannon, which has a whaling cannon with an effective range of 50-60 meters. But in order to be conservative, it is still 30 meters close to the humpback whale before shooting!

  This whaling cannon is not an artillery gun. In fact, it is similar to a speargun-like device. Once the cannon is fired, as long as the speargun is inserted into the whale's body, its barb can hook the whale. This allows the whale to be dragged close to the fishing boat.

   "I'm ready, I'm sure I can hit every shot!" Honda nodded fiercely. Speaking of which, operating this whaling gun is a technical task. If you can't aim well, you can't hit the whale.

  Because of the turbulence and the movement of whales on the fishing boat, you must practice for a long time if you want to hit the target.

"50 meters…"

  “30 meters…”

   "That's it!"

  Honda took a deep breath and started moving the whaling gun in his hand. This whaling gun is actually somewhat similar to that kind of heavy machine gun turret. It can be rotated 360°.

   "Bah!" Honda shouted and pulled the trigger.

   A loud bang in the next second!

   That spear gun the size of an adult's arm was just like that, and there was a long rope at the end of the spear gun. The rope is also very large and long. This kind of rope is very tough, as big as a child's arm!

  “Whoo~”

   The speargun flies fast, as fast as a bullet. Everyone was staring at this phantom and shot towards one of the humpback whales 30 meters away.

   Just as the first speargun flew out, the second speargun also flew out, and its target was another humpback whale!

   Due to the high speed, the spear gun could hardly be seen clearly, only the rope rippling in the air could be seen.
