Chapter 651 Self-Defense Weapons
Every storm, every fishing failure, and every dangerous encounter became a part of their story, allowing them to more deeply understand the true meaning of justice and fearlessness.
As time went by, their fishing fleet grew. They not only fished in the northeastern waters, but also began to explore other more distant waters. In the process, they communicated and cooperated with fishermen from all over the world, sharing fishing experiences and methods of dealing with dangers at sea. Qi Tongwei also became a legendary figure in this seafaring world, and his name and his story spread in various ports and fishing villages.
However, they also know that the challenges of the Age of Exploration will never stop. With the gradual reduction of marine resources and the increasingly fierce competition at sea, they are faced with new choices and difficulties. But Qi Tongwei always believes that as long as they uphold the spirit of justice and fearlessness, they can continue to write their own legend in this unpredictable sea.
In the growing fishery business, Qi Tongwei and his partners continue to explore the vast ocean. Every time they go out to sea, it is a new round of game with fate.
When the fishing season came again, the sea seemed to have sensed their determination and showed signs of warming up. The activities of the fish schools became more active, which was undoubtedly good news for the fishermen. They set out facing the rising sun, and the fishing boats cut through the calm sea surface, creating layers of white waves. Qi Tongwei stood at the bow, the sea breeze whistled past, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he could penetrate the blue and see the traces of the fish schools hidden on the seabed.
The crew members skillfully operated various fishing equipment, and the fishing net slowly fell into the sea like a huge fan. While waiting for the fish to enter the net, everyone was nervous and full of expectations. Tongxing carefully observed the movements of the sea surface, and any slight changes could not escape his eyes. He whispered to Qi Tongwei about his judgment, and the two tried to interpret the language of the sea with years of experience.
However, despite the increase in the number of fish, the competition has become increasingly fierce. Other fleets also covet this rich sea area, and they often meet each other on the sea. During a large-scale fishing operation, Qi Tongwei and his team found a perfect place where fish gathered. Just as they were about to show their skills, several unfamiliar fishing boats quickly approached. The owners of these fishing boats had obvious hostility and competitive enthusiasm in their eyes.
A silent contest unfolded at sea. Qi Tongwei knew that there were no absolute rules in this sea area, and only the strong could harvest more. He directed the crew to speed up the net collection, and at the same time skillfully adjusted the position of the fishing boat to try to prevent interference from other boats. But the other side was not to be outdone, and their fishing nets began to entangle with Qi Tongwei's fishing nets. In the chaos, the fish were frightened and began to flee in all directions.
Qi Tongwei's heart tightened. He knew that if he could not properly handle this conflict, he would not only lose a lot of fish, but also cause more serious maritime disputes. He tried to keep himself calm and negotiate with the captain of the other party. However, the other party took a tough attitude and claimed that this sea area was a public area and they had the right to fish there. Qi Tongwei argued that they had discovered this school of fish first and should have the priority to catch fish according to the unwritten maritime convention.
During the fierce dispute, the situation on the sea became increasingly tense. The crews on both sides clenched their fists, as if a sea fight was about to break out. Qi Tongwei realized that force could not solve the problem, but would only make things worse. He took a deep breath and proposed a compromise plan: both sides would work together to catch the fish, and then distribute the harvest according to the size of the fishing boats and the proportion of manpower invested.
After thinking for a while, the other captain finally agreed to the plan. As a result, the originally tense atmosphere instantly eased. The two fishing boats began to work together, and the crews cooperated with each other to control the huge fishing net. During this process, Qi Tongwei and the other captain also began to communicate, sharing their respective fishing experiences and bits and pieces of life at sea. It turned out that the other captain was also an old fisherman who had been working at sea for many years, and his fleet was also facing the dilemma of reduced marine resources and competitive pressure.
This unexpected cooperation made Qi Tongwei deeply realize that in the Age of Exploration, fighting alone would not be able to survive for long. They needed more partners and needed to establish a mutual assistance alliance at sea. So, in the following days, Qi Tongwei actively traveled to various ports and fishing villages to discuss the establishment of a fishery cooperation organization with other knowledgeable people.
His proposal was responded to by many fishermen. They all realized that only by uniting together can they seek better development in the increasingly severe marine environment and fierce competition. Under Qi Tongwei's advocacy, a fishery cooperation organization called "Haimeng" came into being. This organization aims to regulate fishing behavior at sea, reasonably allocate fishery resources, and jointly respond to various challenges and crises at sea.
With the establishment of the "Sea Alliance", Qi Tongwei and his colleagues' fishing business has ushered in a new turning point. They are no longer limited to traditional fishing methods, but have begun to explore some more scientific and environmentally friendly fishing technologies. For example, they have introduced advanced fish detection equipment that can more accurately locate the location and size of fish schools; at the same time, they have also learned a new type of fishing net weaving technology, which can catch big fish while allowing small fish to escape smoothly, thus effectively protecting the ecological balance of the ocean.
In the process of exploring new seas, they also encountered many unprecedented difficulties. Once, they went to a remote tropical sea to fish. Although this sea was rich in fish, it was full of various dangerous marine creatures and complex climatic conditions. Soon after entering this sea, they were attacked by a group of ferocious sharks.
Sharks swam around the fishing boats, their sharp teeth and huge bodies were chilling. Qi Tongwei quickly organized the crew to take defensive measures. They put some special shark repellent devices around the fishing boats, but the sharks did not seem to be afraid and continued to attack. At the critical moment, Qi Tongwei decided to take a risk. He led several brave crew members on a small boat and used some fresh fish as bait to try to lure the sharks away.
They carefully steered the boat away from the fishing boat. The sharks were attracted by the bait and swam towards the boat. Qi Tongwei and the crew watched the sharks' every move nervously, holding their weapons tightly in their hands.
