The east side of the Luzon Trench.

An armed fishing boat Hengyuanyu No. 188 sails on the sea.

"Wednesday, we don't seem to catch any fish yet."

When Han Youwei was talking, she found that the buoy had sunk, so she quickly pulled the fishing rod up and caught a hairtail.

However, she didn't catch any fish, obviously it was not a normal fish.

The Hengyuanyu No.188 armed fishing boat is the bait proposed by Fang Yuan for fishing sea monsters.

Moreover, the Maritime Safety Administration has suspended the approval of offshore fishing vessels.

Therefore, starting from this week, basically only the Hengyuan Yu 188 floats in the sea from the East China Sea to the Sulawe Sea.

In theory, the probability of catching a "fish" is high.

Hengyuanyu 188 went to sea on Monday night and started sailing southward along the East China Sea on Tuesday morning.

It is Wednesday and I have reached the east side of the Luzon Trench and continue to sail south towards the Sulawesi Sea.

There are a total of 52 people on board, including 12 members of the military research team, 20 soldiers from the Awakened Unit, and 20 crew members from Hengyuan Fishery.

These 52 people are the bait for this time. If the sea monster is successfully caught, then the mission can be completed to protect the safety of the sea.

If unfortunately eaten by the sea monster, the mission has failed.

This fishing operation was in charge of the military research team members in the East China Sea.

Fang Yuan, Han Youwei, Eve, Niu Dazhi, Ye Zheyu, Zhao Anya, Du Jun, Chen Xingjie, Guo Xiaofeng, Gao Hongjian and others are among them.

In order to ensure the safety of this mission, the Hengyuan Yu 188 had its weapons upgraded before going to sea.

The full load displacement is 3000 tons.

It is equipped with a 76mm naval gun, two dual-tube 37mm anti-aircraft guns, two anti-submarine torpedoes, and depth charges.

The firepower of the entire armed fishing boat has been upgraded to a new level.

Except for the lack of missiles, the firepower of this Hengyuanyu No. 188 has already caught up with the 1,000-ton frigate.

Encountering the Philippine frigates, who will sink in a battle.

In addition, there are surprises hidden in the belly of Hengyuan Yu 188.

The belly of the ship was originally used to store fish, because this time it was not for fishing, but for "fish", so fishing was all fake.

Han Youwei caught a hairtail, and Eve hurried up with the bucket, put the hairtail in the bucket, and slowly unhook the fish.

"The fish that Youwei caught must be delicious."

The beef **** lay on the deck to bask in the sun, and muttered: "It would be nice if we were on a yacht. There is a danger of being eaten at any time. It is not fun at all."

"How do I think you had a good time?" Eve glanced back at him.

"I hope to see the sea monster soon. It's Wednesday today. According to the data, there will be accidents on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If we were not attacked by the sea monster, then there must be other fishing boats. To the attack." Han Youwei said worriedly.

"Don't worry. It's coming soon, either today or tomorrow." Fang Yuan lay in a beach chair, blocking the noon sun with his hands.

"Why are you so sure?" Han Youwei asked curiously.

"I read the information again last night. The place and time of the accident are regular." Fang Yuan replied.

Eve sat down, took out the tablet, called up the information, and looked at it with Han Youwei.

"What is the law?"

Fang Yuan blocked the sun with his hands, closed his eyes and rested, and explained by the way: "First of all, suppose that if the sea monster is really a biological research project of a certain company. According to the work day, data collection and technical adjustments are carried out on Monday, and then on Tuesday. Release the sea monster and take it back before get off work on Friday...

"If this hypothesis is true, then a simple rule can be obtained. The location of the accident on Tuesday should be closer to the sea monster's nest, and Wednesday and Thursday are far away. It happens that this rule can be seen in the data, according to the location. Near and far, you can preliminarily delineate the possible range of a sea monster lair."

When Han Youwei and Eve heard the explanation and looked at the information, they also discovered this pattern.

Eve immediately drew a circle on the notebook and said, "In that case, the sea monster's nest is southeast of the Luzon Trench, and it should be on an island."

"It may also be near the Sulawesi Sea, the Guruma Strait and the Garo Islands." Fang Yuan added.

"If the guess is correct, we are already very close to the sea monster's lair." Han Youwei took a deep breath, suddenly a little nervous.

"So, according to my prediction, if the fishing is successful, the sea monster should appear tonight." Fang Yuan said his guess.

"When you say that, I suddenly became nervous." The beef ball touched his arm, and suddenly felt a bit cold in the sea breeze.

"You fish slowly, I'll take a nap first, maybe I don't have to sleep tonight." Fang Yuan stretched out, dragged the recliner to the shade, and started to sleep.

Since the sea monsters only appeared at night, the Awakened soldiers on the ship had tried their best to adjust their work and rest, rest during the day and stay awake at night.

As the sun sank to sea level, the sky gradually dimmed.

After dinner, 12 members of the military science class gathered for a meeting.

Zhao Anya began to speak: "According to the analysis results after the data collection, tonight is the most likely time to encounter a sea monster. Please cheer up.

"According to the description of the survivors, when sea monsters appear, they will accompany a large group of sea star beasts. This is a very big test for us.

"Everyone, according to their respective responsibilities, stick to every position that needs to be defended. In the end, I hope that the sea monster will find us, or another ocean fishing boat will suffer."

After the meeting, everyone went to their responsible position to prepare for the test tonight.

The 76mm main gun of Hengyuanyu No. 188 is in charge of artillery transferred from the Awakened Unit, after all, it is professional.

Ye Zheyu was assigned a 37mm dual-purpose cannon.

Before the sea monster appeared, he ran to the position of the 76mm main gun and asked the artillery leader of the Awakened Unit for advice.

"I usually use guns a lot and have fewer opportunities to use machine guns. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Your dual-barreled dual-purpose gun is actually not much different from a machine gun, just pay attention..." The artillery leader of the Awakened Unit began to explain some experience in controlling dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Zhao Anya was lying on the guardrail of the deck, looking at the sea in the distance with her powers, lost in thought.

Suddenly, her eyes condensed and she said, "There is movement, and there is a star force reaction in the spectrum."

Fang Yuan hurriedly pressed the intercom and said, "Ye Zheyu, pay attention to the situation under the water."

"Okay." Ye Zheyu immediately controlled the six ghost eyes that were released and sank into the bottom of the sea, paying close attention to the situation within 800 meters of the bottom of the ship.
