A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   (second update)

   "Turn left rudder!"

"quick!"

   "Speed ​​up!"

   "The fish searcher shows that there are schools of fish ahead, and they seem to be large schools of fish."

   The 1,000-ton trawler where Shuichi Minano was in began to fish.

The    trawling net has been thrown off the stern, and the two huge robotic arms are also propping up this large trawl net.

   "Pay attention to the ice floes next to you, don't let the ice floe hit the robotic arm." Ishida Yu stood on the roof of the boat and shouted.

"The school of fish seems to be escaping, and they are fleeing to the left. At 1,000 meters on the left is a whole piece of ice floes. If they hide there, we will not be able to catch them." The top lookout started to the cab The old Kimura reported the situation around him.

   "Accelerate!"

   "Small floes collide directly. Our fishing boat has a tonnage of 1,000. There is basically no problem in hitting these small floes."

  The fishing work in full swing lasted from morning to evening.

   Hundreds of tons of fish are caught in a single day, most of which are cod.

   For the next month, Shuichi Minano's fleet continued to fish for fish in this area where the currents meet. Except for the first three days, the entire fleet acted as a unit. On the fourth day, all 20 fishing boats acted alone.

   After all, there are more ice floes here, and it is more efficient for each fishing boat to act alone.

   In just one month, the three transport ships that came over were all full. I have to say that the catch this month was quite good.

"Go and see other places." This area of ​​water has been wildly fished by his fleet for a month. There have been some fish shortages in this area. It is estimated that there will not be many fish schools in the next few months. It is time to look for fishing grounds elsewhere.

   Fortunately, Minamino Shuichi has a system to help search, so he can often find the sea area that forms a fishing ground to fish.

   A few sailors did not know where to find the three arctic fox cubs a few days ago. Now Shuichi Minano's women are playing with those little arctic foxes all day long. Iloti also threatened to keep it as a pet in the future.

   "Go back after another month of fishing."

   When he has nothing to do, Minano Shuichi also likes to switch his vision and look at the seabed to see what precious things are on the seabed here. It is also good in case a shipwreck is found, or some precious underwater plants, etc.

   Previously, Shuichi Minano found some precious things on the seabed on the other side of Hokkaido, such as pearls in shells, red corals, or some rare underwater plants, medicines and so on.

   He actually does this when he is so bored that he does it sometimes! You must know that life on a fishing boat can be so monotonous that people vomit blood. Even if there are three women with him, he will be tired.

   "Huh, what is this?"

   After the system was upgraded a few days ago, he was able to see the ability to see the depths of 500 meters under the sea.

   Now he just inadvertently saw that a black liquid was found 500 meters below the bottom of the sea.

   "Fuck, could it be an oil field?" Minano Shuichi observed it carefully for a while and felt that there was an oil field 500 meters below!

   In fact, it is not impossible to find oil fields on the seabed. Besides, the marine mineral resources of the Arctic Ocean are still very rich. He remembered that the Barents Sea, Kara Sea, Beaufort Sea and Canada's northern islands and straits, in particular, were rich in oil and natural gas, with estimated oil reserves exceeding 10 billion tons. The coal reserves of Spitsbergen are about 8 billion tons, with thick coal seams, high quality and shallow burial. The iron ore reserves of more than 2 billion tons are high-quality ore. In addition, the Arctic Ocean region is also rich in chromite, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, uranium, thorium, cryolite and other mineral resources, but most of them have not been exploited.

   So now it is not impossible for Shuichi Minano to discover an oil field in the Arctic Ocean. It can only be said that he happened to encounter this oil field.

   "How big is this oil field?" Minami Shuuichi continued to investigate hundreds of kilometers in a radius. After investigating around, he was still not sure how big the oil field was. But it shouldn't look too small.

   After all, the depth that Minano Shuichi can see is only 500 meters deep, and the entire oil field cannot be only 500 meters deep.

   "Unfortunately, this oil field is in the sea, and the shallowest part is buried at a depth of 500 meters. The seawater here is generally 800 meters deep, and it is still difficult to mine!" Minami Shuichi muttered to himself.

   In the 1950s, the technology for developing offshore oilfields was not very mature. It can be said that this oilfield is somewhat tasteless. Anyway, with the current strength of Minamino Shuichi, there is no money and technology investment to exploit such oil fields.

  In this world, once you have an oil field, your day as a local tyrant will be achieved in an instant. Oil is a very lucrative industry.

   "Although I don't have the ability to mine right now, I can write down the location and mine it later. By the way, go back and ask Loki if he has the ability to mine." Minami Shuichi patted his head. You can't mine it yourself, but it doesn't mean that Loki, who is rich and powerful, has no ability. If this is a super large oil field, it is estimated that Loki will also be moved.

   "It seems that I have to tell him when I go back. This sea area is not very far from Alaska. If it is developed, it should still be profitable." Minami said after looking at the coordinates here.

   A month passed quickly, and the three women in the area of ​​Minano Hideyoshi followed a transport ship back to Nemuro Fishing Port! As for the fishing fleet, there is no need to return to the Nemuro fishing port. They continue to choose to go south and continue fishing in the Hokkaido fishing grounds. Anyway, there are transport ships to transport supplies and seafood back. Generally, as long as the fishing boats do not have major maintenance accidents, they do not need to return to the fishing port. Even looking back, it will take a year.

   Now we have entered the era of ocean fishing, and it is no longer the era of fishing in the past few months and returning to the fishing port again.

   This two-month fishing caught a total of about 5,000 tons of various seafood, most of which were cod!

  The transport ship was gradually approaching the Nemuro fishing port, and Iloti and the other women were all excited.

   This time, plus the time on the way, it took half a year to go to sea! It really drove Iloti almost crazy. It was her first time at sea for such a long time! As her eldest lady, it's not bad that she didn't go crazy.

   As for Miyamoto Yuko and Sakai Xuena, they are still very hard-working.

  Although Iloti lost her temper several times during this period, she was coaxed by Minano Shuichi.
