Chapter 407: Struggle for "Eating Shrimp"

Boom did not see Renault until he left the sea tide collar, because the guy had no interest in taking care of the little boy. He was working hard to realize a "great ideal".

This ideal is-catching shrimp.

Since returning to the Hai Tide Islands, Renault heard that the magic crabs and shrimps were back, and he felt like grass growing in his heart. After hurriedly reviewing the newly recruited group of island guards, he completely let himself go.

Master is going to catch prawns!

Master wants to eat prawns!

This guy waved his hand and listed "shrimp catching" as the top priority of the territory. "Entertaining (calculating) members of the Maxwell family", the trivial matter that would only delay the lord's eating shrimp, was directly thrown by him to the consul.

However, catching shrimp is not an easy task. In this regard, Renault needs to solve two problems.

The first question is to find the location of the magic shrimp.

At present, the only place where the magic shrimp has been traced is the algae oil island where the Chlorophyta is planted. Is it to be on this island to wait for the magic shrimp to be caught again?

How long do you have to wait?

As a foodie, Renault couldn't stand it for so long, so he decided to take the initiative.

But the question is, how to find the magic shrimp in the vast ocean? Who knows where these big guys wielding giant tongs are hiding? If you wander around, how long and how long can you bump into a magic shrimp?

Therefore, finding magic shrimp is by no means an easy task.

However, nothing can stop a foodie.

If there is, it must be that the goal is not delicious enough.

Reynolds thought for a few minutes before he came up with an idea. He invited the Director of the Fisheries Department and assigned an important task to Mr. Director-to draw a bitmap of the whereabouts of the magic shrimp.

After receiving the task assigned by the lord himself, the frightened Mr. Secretary ordered all the staff of the Fisheries Department to dispatch all the staff of the Department of Fisheries overnight to search for all the fishermen in the territory and ask them whether they have witnessed the magic shrimp in the last 2 years and where they witnessed it. .

Every time they found a sighting, they painted a small black dot on the map as a record. After a whole day of statistics, the Fisheries Department recorded more than 300 sightings, and more than 300 small black dots were left on the map. The so-called "dot map".

Based on the point cloud density on the bitmap, Renault identified a spot where the Demon Shrimp appeared most frequently. It was located to the west of the archipelago, near the Misty Sea.

So far, the shrimp fishing site has been found.

The second issue is equipment.

On earth, shrimp is a delicacy that everyone loves, but in another world, they have evolved into terrifying monsters that everyone shuns.

Demon Shrimp is an extremely fierce and powerful sea monster. They wear a hard carapace, and 3 or 4 awakened people can't stop them. Only fools can fight them in the sea.

Because this is not a shrimp catch, but a shrimp catch.

At this time, a dedicated shrimp boat is needed.

While Maoziboum was walking around, Renault spent three full days in the shipyard on Theron Island and pulled out a nearly 35-meter-long all-steel shrimp boat.

Wooden boats are not acceptable, they must be all-steel boats, because the magic shrimp is a rare sea monster that will actively attack sailing ships. Normal wooden boats cannot withstand the magic shrimp at all. Their pair of iron tongs can easily break the wooden board and sink sailboat.

When the staff of the Fisheries Department inquired about the whereabouts of the magic shrimp, they had heard of a tragedy made by the magic shrimp from a fisherman.

More than ten years ago, somewhere in the shallower waters near Odin Island, two fishing boats accompanying fishing encountered a hungry magic shrimp unfortunately.

A demon shrimp lay in ambush on the bottom of the sea. When the fishing boat passed by, it suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the sea. It hooked the side of the fishing boat with its claws, waved the iron tongs, and opened a big hole in the side of the fishing boat in three or two.

The panicked fishermen tried to jump into the sea to escape, but when the two entered the water, a slightly smaller demon shrimp appeared on the other side of the fishing boat. They were cut into pieces with two clicks. Two cuts.

No, four cuts.

The fishermen on the other fishing boat were so scared that they escaped immediately, even without fishing nets.

It can also be seen from this point that the IQ of the magic shrimp is not low at all, and they are very good at team cooperation. They seem to know very well what is on the fishing boat. One is responsible for destroying the fishing boat and driving the fishermen into the sea, and the other is in the sea. Waiting aside, take the opportunity to hunt the fishermen.

When Renault heard this story for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh again and again, how could this be a shrimp? It was obviously a pack of wolves in the sea!

This shrimp boat, named "Forrest" by Renault, uses a high-strength alloy with magic metal as the keel, and the other parts are made of ordinary steel. A shrimp boat with a maximum power of 1,800 kilowatts is also installed on the boat. Heat magic engine for marine use.

The powerful power brings the same powerful speed to the shrimp boat. Its maximum speed is as high as 30 knots, which can be called the super-running in the sailing boat.

Forrest Gump is also equipped with a full 8 large magic spearguns, which can shoot 24 large metal crossbow arrows at a time. In addition, the sailors are all armed with magic spearguns, which are almost armed to the teeth.

In addition, this shrimp boat also carries a special kind of equipment, a kind of equipment specially used to entertain the magic shrimp.

It is a huge metal cage. Each metal strip is made of high-strength alloy thicker than the wrist. The shape of the cage is cylindrical, with a diameter of more than 4 meters and a length of 8 meters. One end is blocked and the other end is completely open. .

This is exactly the prawn trap created by Renault.

Forrest Gump carried a total of 4 lobster pots, two on each side of the ship's side.

In the sound of the "crash" caused by the propeller, the shrimp boat swept across the sea briskly, passing through the extremely light fog, leaving a trail full of foam.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Renault looked up at the dense fog that covered the world like mountains in the distance, his eyes flashed.

That is the sea of ​​mist.

He really wanted to know what was in the thick fog. Unfortunately, the territorial affairs were so complicated that he could not spare time to explore the Misty Sea, but he had decided that within this year, he would definitely go for a stroll in the Misty Sea.

Reynolds scanned the surface of the sea, his gaze flicked over the large and small reefs on the sea surface, locked on a dark shadow that looked like a giant reef in the distance, and a series of commands blurted out:

"Summer, the target is ahead on the right, 2 kilometers away, there may be a reef there, drive the shrimp boat over, let's go there to catch shrimp..."

"Yes, Lord Lord!" A sailor holding the steering wheel immediately responded.

"Amad, after arriving at the reef, your team is responsible for placing the lobster pots..."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

"Williams, your team is responsible for fixing the shrimp pots. The magic shrimp has a lot of power. Remember to fix a few more positions..."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

...

"Ronald, you are operating the large magic speargun with the island guard team. Once you find the sea beast is approaching, shoot immediately..."

"Yes, Lord Lord!" Ronald replied excitedly.

This fellow stayed on Midway Island where birds don’t **** for half a year, and spent the entire day with seabirds and beasts. It was not until the beginning of this year’s Mid-Flower Moon that Renault sent someone to replace him as the "Midway Island Owner". Let him return to the civilized world again.

After the Forrest had advanced more than 1,000 meters, the black shadow in front of it showed its prototype.

Like Renault's guess, this is indeed a huge reef. It is dark in its entirety, and its surface is mottled and uneven. The part exposed to the sea is more than 6 meters high and covers an area of ​​more than 30 square meters.

After approaching the reef, the sailors chose a place near the reef with a water depth of no more than 40 meters, unfastened the steel ropes that fixed the lobster pots, and slowly sank them to the bottom of the sea.

Taking into account that the magic shrimps often move in groups of two, these four shrimp traps are all placed not far from each other.

Several sailors were wearing Nyima rubber tights and carrying air bottles. They jumped into the water several times with "puffs", dived into the water, selected several large reefs, and wound long iron chains around the reefs.

Then they picked up the magic drill, began to make holes in the reef, and then inserted the fixing pins to secure the iron chain firmly.

Each prawn cage is connected to 4 iron chains, and each iron chain requires 10 fixed points, a total of 160 fixed points. The sailors have been busy for a while before completing the work of fixing the iron chains.

At this point, the work of installing the shrimp cage is still missing one item-placing the bait.

The sailor with the fixed iron chain just surfaced, and several other sailors dragged the fish that had just been slaughtered and jumped into the water quickly. As they were swimming, a large amount of red blood seeped into the water, forming a striking path of blood. , And gradually spread to the surrounding.

In order to attract the Demon Shrimp, Renault not only prepared bait, but also had a lot of tricks.

When the bait was placed in the shrimp cage, the sailors reached out to activate a small disc-shaped box fixed at the bottom of the shrimp cage, and the sharp friction sound of "zizizi" came out of the box immediately.

This is a small sound generator made by Renault.

Driven by an exquisite miniature magic motive, the rotor inside the sound generator, which is a pinion, will rotate at high speed, constantly scraping the surrounding serrated surface, producing extremely sharp high-frequency noise.

The higher the frequency, the stronger the penetrating power, and the farther it travels in the sea. If there are magic shrimps nearby, they will be attracted to them.
