My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 249 This time it's a wave glider

As the night passed, Zhou Miao lazily stretched in the rising sun.

However, this time it wasn't about staying up all night fishing; I had just woken up.

He got up early, which was unusual for him after being at sea for so many days.

Because he fished until 11 p.m. last night, the fish completely left. The coral fish that live on the bottom of the water all hide and sleep at night, and the grouper population is small and the frequency of catching them is not high, so he went back to sleep early.

He got up at this time because his energy had fully recovered and he couldn't fall back asleep.

However, Yu Muzhou also got up very early today, and was even in a good mood to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.

Zhou Miao cooked a pot of red bean porridge and prepared a few cold dishes, which she ate with great relish.

After eating too much meat and fish, a little vegetarian food can really improve your appetite.

"Brother Zhou, should we pack up the crab and shrimp traps this morning and go look around elsewhere?"

"Sure, I'll use this last bit of time to try my luck. Hopefully, I'll spot a bluefin tuna tonight, otherwise I won't have a chance this time!"

After being at sea for so many days, Yu Muzhou still missed his family.

The main reason is that his son's midterm exam scores came out, and he ranked third in the entire grade.

These achievements definitely deserve a reward. When he learned that the boys wanted to visit some ancient cities to study history, he readily agreed.

Therefore, he cannot stay at sea this weekend and needs to return to shore on Friday.

Zhou Miao had no objection to this; how could he let his fishing trip delay his nephew's small request?

So Yu Muzhou went upstairs to start the boat, while Zhou Miao came to the bow and looked into the distance.

But as the Flying Swallow got closer and closer to where the cages were placed, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

There seems to be something on the side of the float furthest from here?

Zhou Miao noticed the unexpected situation, and Yu Muzhou on the second floor naturally saw it as well.

He picked up the binoculars and took a look, then his expression became somewhat strange.

"Ah Miao, you've got some good stuff again!"

Hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker, Zhou Miao was a little confused. He was standing right there, how come he didn't know he had gotten something good?

I wanted to go upstairs to ask, but the Flying Swallow was about to reach the nearest buoy, so I quickly pushed the crane to the aft deck of the ship.

However, Yu Muzhou did not stop and continued driving into the distance.

Zhou Miao frowned, thinking about what he had just said and the strange thing he had discovered, and then stood by the boat and waited.

As he got closer, he discovered that the strange thing next to the float was actually a small raft with a solar panel.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of wave glider?"

Because he had managed to snag a listening device, Zhou Miao made a point of learning about the appearance of several different types of listening devices.

The small raft was slightly different from the pictures he had seen online, but it was pretty much the same, and he could tell what it was at a glance.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it!"

Yu Muzhou had already moved from the driver's seat to the rear rest area, leaning against the balcony and smiling at him.

Zhou Miao snapped out of his daze and quickly used a crane to get the glider onto the ship.

What looked like a small raft actually had a hidden secret at the bottom.

After getting the item onto the boat, Zhou Miao and the others realized why it had been sitting next to the buoy.

It turned out that the thing underneath was tangled in the rope connecting the float and the crab trap, and couldn't be separated.

Upon seeing this, Yu Muzhou clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Ah Miao, with you at sea from now on, these foreign listening devices are going to suffer heavy losses!"

"That would be best, but I still hope there are fewer of these things; too many won't do us any good."

Zhou Miao didn't know whether she should be happy or not, but at least she was going to get money again.

But more than money, he desires national stability.

Despite its various shortcomings, this place offers a greater sense of security compared to other countries.

As long as you don't do anything reckless, it's really hard to die.

Abroad, even those who behave themselves are not necessarily safe, especially in small countries that are constantly at war.

When you compare them, a sense of happiness and pride arises spontaneously.

Considering that he had to go back by tomorrow morning at the latest, Zhou Miao did not immediately send a message to Ye Hengyi this time.

After all, they didn't have time to wait here; they had to leave once they put away the cages.

Next, Yu Muzhou continued to sail, while Zhou Miao continued to collect the cages.

After all the cages were brought in, the harvest was quite good.

There were many different kinds of lobsters, totaling over a hundred.

Most of them were small green lobsters and a different colored lobster, which seemed to be common in the South China Sea. They were quite large, with each one weighing an average of three or four pounds.

There were three large flower dragons, and Yu Muzhou took them all to the kitchen.

There weren't many crabs, but there were about ten mantis shrimp, each weighing four or five pounds.

This stuff is very expensive, costing three or four hundred yuan per kilogram.

There were also twenty or thirty coral fish, all caught in fish traps.

But the shrimp traps were completely destroyed, with only a few snails that had crawled inside and a few tiny, unknown crabs that had climbed in.

At sea, you must not touch seafood you don't recognize, so Zhou Miao threw it all away.

Zhou Miao put lobsters, crayfish, and valuable coral fish into the previously empty live fish hold.

I'm about to head back anyway, I can raise these to sell back home.

After cleaning the cage and securing it with ropes, Zhou Miao searched online for locations where bluefin tuna might appear during this time of year, and then sailed there.

It's not far, but it's very close to the high seas, and it's part of the bluefin tuna's migration route.

Zhou Miao chose a coral area near this location.

It's not the time of year when bluefin tuna travel this route, so he can only try his luck in the coral reef area.

Tuna like to hunt in these places and also have the habit of nibbling on corals.

To Zhou Miao's surprise, the system that had been silent since he set sail finally started moving just as he was about to leave.

[A plea for help from a deep-sea coral reef: A group of tuna, a major nuisance to the reef, frequently comes to feed on the coral. Many corals are dying as a result, significantly reducing the reef's size and causing its ecosystem to become far less vibrant than before.]

Therefore, the coral reef is appealing to you, asking for your help in solving the tuna problem and reducing their numbers to less than half.

[Note: They just left the day before yesterday, and are expected to return in about seven days.]

"Wow, this is possible?"

Zhou Miao was instantly excited—a school of tuna!

But after seeing the precautions at the end, he became frustrated again.

I thought I could go fishing today, but it turns out I have to wait a week. It seems I'm out of luck with tuna this time.

The fish finder showed that there were a large number of fish living on the bottom of the water, and the fish school was quite large. They should all be fish that live in this deep-sea coral reef.

With so many fish, the coral reef's ecology is said to be far worse than before. How large must the fish population have been in the past?

Zhou Miao was too lazy to look for another place. He would fish here today, and if there were no fish tonight, he would head back.
