Chapter 96: Wow!

With the advice of professionals, Ethan has basically sorted out the plan, and the next step is the preliminary test.

The next day, the weather was good. Although it was still very cold, the sky was blue and the sun was shining.

With this weather, Ethan and others began to act separately.

Others, including Angelina, followed Tibers to the forest to collect rattan, and Andreev made fish cages.

Ethan himself, wearing a yellow hair, patrolled the territory and began to look for a sea area suitable for kelp farming.

According to Andreev, the bottom is preferably a flat mud bottom or a muddy sand bottom, which is convenient for piling and setting.

The water depth is 3-5 meters below the high tide line. If there is no depth, 1-3 meters is also fine.

The wind and waves should be small and the tide should be smooth.

Since kelp grows under light, it is better to have a high transparency in the breeding sea area.

The water quality is better in the fertile water area.

Here, except for water quality and sunlight, everything else needs to be confirmed one by one.

According to these requirements, Ethan searched southward along the coastline.

The reason for going south is that the north is close to the Anji Mountains, where the coastline fault is more serious. Not only is the water deep, but even the beach cannot be seen.

And the search to the south is not very smooth.

Because the sea near the coast has frozen, although the ice is not very thick, it also blocks the line of sight, and the air advantage of the little yellow hair cannot be reflected.

Ethan can only let the little yellow hair roughly determine a few feasible locations, and then he will use sword energy to break the ice every 1 mile to observe the situation.

This survey along the way really made Ethan miserable.

In order to determine the water depth and the bottom quality, he made a tool, a small iron pot tied with a rope.

Every time you arrive at a place, you have to salvage it once.

To be precise, if the water is very deep, you may give up once.

But if it looks feasible for the first time, you have to conduct large-scale and multiple surveys. After all, to cultivate kelp, you have to determine a sea area, not a certain point.

Ethan found that it was indeed as Andreev said, deep-sea ports are rare, and shallows are still a high probability.

Walking south from the territory, less than two kilometers later, basically all you encounter are shallow beaches.

So Ethan walked along the way, looking along the way. Because of too many salvages, he always got wet with seawater.

In this kind of weather, even wearing waterproof leather gloves, he was still shivering with cold.

In the end, Ethan was worried that the water would soak into his gloves and boots, so he reluctantly handed this difficult task to the little yellow hair.

Tie the rope to the little yellow hair's feet and let it go into the water to survey.

Ethan was responsible for breaking the ice and confirming the water depth and geology.

In this way, Ethan felt much more comfortable.

But the little yellow hair was very dissatisfied and kept chirping.

Of course, although the little yellow hair was very dissatisfied and was lazy all day long, it really came when there was something.

It thought Ethan's method was too backward and too slow, so it went directly into the water and let Ethan see the situation in the sea with his own eyes through vision sharing.

Once the little yellow hair came out with this trick, it was amazing.

The speed and quality of the survey were improved exponentially.

In less than half a day, Ethan completed the survey of the coastline within ten kilometers.

Moreover, God rewarded those who worked hard, and he really found several suitable locations.

Among them, there is a shallow beach that is concave inward at 5 kilometers.

Not only all the conditions are met, but also the area is large, which is the most suitable place.

Of course, since Ethan doesn't understand these things very well, this is just his personal opinion. Whether it will work or not, Andreev will have to confirm it at that time.

Therefore, Ethan found several more locations and marked them, and asked Andreev to confirm them together.

After doing everything, Ethan took the little yellow-haired boy home.

When he returned to the boat, he found that Andreev had made three fish cages.

The three fish cages are all oval, with an inward trumpet opening in the middle.

Because it is an experiment, the sizes are different. The largest one is almost as tall as Ethan.

The smallest one is only at Ethan's knees.

The middle one is just halfway up.

When several people saw Ethan coming back, they told him with some disappointment that the fish cage had been made long ago, but there were no fish today, so they couldn't test it.

Ethan smiled without saying anything, took everyone, picked up the fish cage, and rushed to the beach.

When he arrived at the beach, Ethan was not in a hurry to fish, but spent some time to max out the [Fishing] skill, and used sword energy to break all the ice on the nearby sea surface, and then started to cast the hook.

At the moment of casting the hook, the sea area within 10 kilometers suddenly boiled like water.

Countless large and small fish jumped from the sea in groups, tumbling up and down.

In the sunshine, one after another silver waves rushed towards the shore like a tsunami.

When everyone saw this scene, they all dropped their jaws.

Even Ethan was the same. He never thought that maxing out [Fishing] would have this effect!

This time he got rich!

Because everyone was stunned, they were stunned and at a loss.

Fortunately, Ethan reacted in time and shouted, "Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and put down the cages!"

"Oh, oh..."

The crowd reacted and quickly dropped several fish cages.

But after dropping them, Andreev remembered that he forgot to put bait in the fish cages.

So he quickly shouted, "I forgot to put bait, pull it up quickly."

When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned and hurriedly helped Andreev pull the cages back up.

But as soon as a few people pulled the rope, they realized something was wrong.

"Hey, why is it so heavy? Ethan, come and help. I don't know where it's stuck. I can't pull it up!" Angelina shouted to Ethan.

Ethan glanced at the fish cage and was a little shocked.

It's not stuck somewhere, it's just that there are too many fish, they are just crowded and the cage is crowded.

"Holy crap! This works too!"

Ethan yelled, then quickly dropped the fishing rod and helped pull the rope together.

Rather, after taking the rope from Ethan, he told the others to go away.

Then he turned on his violent posture, with lightning all over his body, and one person pulled three ropes and dragged him to the shore.

Just as he was about to drag the cage ashore, there was a sudden snap, and Ethan felt a rope lose strength in his hand, and his whole body fell back.

Fortunately, he adjusted his center of gravity in time and did not fall.

Just when I was wondering, I discovered that the largest fish cage was falling apart.

Although it was a pity, fortunately, the other two fish cages had no problems and were safely pulled ashore, and the fish cages were filled with fish.

When everyone saw it, they all started cheering.

"Wow! Wow!" Angelina and Lili were like children, jumping up to the fish cage and shouting.

"So many fish, it's amazing!"

"Uh...this is black sea bream, this is golden thread fish, this is flower tail pepper sea bream..."

"What is this?"

"This is spotted pomfret."

"Then what is this? There are little stars on it!"

"Oh my god, this is the Western Star Spot, wow! And the Eastern Star Spot. This is the Oil Reiner, wow! Wow! Wow!"

"Wow! This is Leopard Star Spot!"

"Wow! Money Dragon!"
