Chapter 878: The Old Sailor
The backs of Lao Huang and Xiaozhi father and son became farther and farther away, and finally only the goldfish kite carried by Lao Huang was blown by the wind from time to time. Someone said leisurely: "It would be great if there were more people like this."
Looking sideways, Zhang Zian saw that it was the leading fishery officer. He was in his thirties, in the prime of his life, with a solid body and strong physical strength.
"Ah, I haven't introduced you yet. My surname is Ke, and my name is Ke Shaohui." He took the initiative to shake hands. "Actually, I can tell that you were the one who rescued the minke whale just now, right? The father and son were there to help?"
His eyes fell on Zhang Zian's sleeve.
Both of Zhang Zian's cuffs were stained red by the whale's blood, and some blood spots were also splashed on his clothes, which probably couldn't be washed out, but fortunately, they were not expensive brand-name clothes.
In contrast, Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi's father and son had almost no blood on their bodies, and they were clean, only soaked in sea water.
A discerning person can tell at a glance who is responsible for the work and who is responsible for calling 666.
"Without them, I would never have known that a minke whale was stranded here." Zhang Zian said, and introduced his name.
"This... If I'm wrong, don't take it to heart. Why do I think you look familiar? Have we met somewhere?" Ke Shaohui stared at Zhang Zian's face and kept looking suspiciously, "The name seems to be I've heard it somewhere..."
Zhang Zian was sure that he had never met the other party.
"Ah! I remembered! You were the one who led the dog to Berlin to receive the award..." Ke Shaohui suddenly remembered that he had seen news about Zhang Zian when he was wandering online.
Zhang Zian smiled and did not deny it.
"Tsk! No wonder you are so familiar with therapeutic animals. If another person were here, the whale would have died long ago..." Ke Shaohui smacked his lips.
"Section Chief! Are you there?" A voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Ke Shaohui put the walkie-talkie to his lips, "What's the matter?"
"I just received a report that a nearby fishing boat hit a rock and leaked, and was about to sink. The higher-ups asked us to help. The situation is more urgent," said the intercom.
"Okay, I see. You guys bring the boat over..." Ke Shaohui said halfway, he looked up at the tugboat, and couldn't help frowning.
The fishery administrators on the tugboat were worried that the wound on the minke whale would burst open during swimming, so they followed the minke whale for a while, and did not stop until it dived into the sea unharmed and lost its trace. Now it is far away. A small undulating black spot appeared on the sea surface, at least ten kilometers away from the shore.
Driving the tugboat to the shore, putting down the inflatable boat, picking up Ke Shaohui and returning to the tugboat, and then driving to the wrecked fishing boat, this series of procedures was a waste of time, especially since the wrecked fishing boat was in critical condition and no delay was allowed.
So, Ke Shaohui immediately changed his words: "Go and help the wrecked fishing boat immediately, and you don't need to come back to pick me up."
"Then the section chief, you..."
"I'll take a taxi back by myself, hurry up." Ke Shaohui gave the order without hesitation.
"Okay, let's go then."
The engine of the tugboat whipped up white waves, turned its head slowly, and drove in the other direction with full power.
actually,
Just now the minke whale left without looking back, part of the reason should be that it was afraid of the tugboat, it couldn't tell the difference between the tugboat and the boat that hurt it, but Zhang Zian didn't tell Lao Huang about this part of the reason Just listen.
When Ke Shaohui was speaking, Zhang Zian put down the bottom of his trousers and put on the shoes and socks that he had taken off.
When Ke Shaohui put down the walkie-talkie, Zhang Zian asked, "By the way, you just said that something similar happened before? Can you tell me about it?"
"Oh, yes." Ke Shaohui nodded, "Recently, a lot of whales have come to the sea off Binhai City, do you know this?"
"I know, it was played on the TV news." Zhang Zian said with confidence that I might be the first to know about it.
"Well, our department has been very busy recently, and we always have to go out to sea with the experts sent by the above. The boat came late today because of this reason..." Ke Shaohui spread his hands helplessly, "The existing boats are not enough at all, but there were more than enough in the past .”
"Expert?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Because these whales came very inexplicably." Ke Shaohui said without hesitation, "It is said on TV that it is because our city's pollution control has been effective, but in fact we all understand that it is not the same thing at all. We people are in the open sea almost every day Patrols and pollution control, we know better than anyone else. Of course, marine pollution has indeed improved in recent years, but it is far from reaching the expected goal... We understand these things, and the people above understand them, so we invited many domestic and foreign Experts here, I want to study what is in Binhai City that attracts so many whales, but..."
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Experts lined up to come and leave again. A lot of money was spent, and a lot of various theories were put forward. It's almost like saying that there are alien spaceships hidden under the water in Binhai City, but There is no reliable one!"
Zhang Zian held back his laughter, and said in his heart that it was really hard for these experts.
Ke Shaohui continued: "The increase in the number of whales is definitely a good thing. The people above also support the development of tourism in this city. However, some whales came with injuries, and some were stabbed by harpoons. Some were hit by propellers, and there were other injuries as well."
Zhang Zian cheered up and listened carefully.
Ke Shaohui looked in the direction where the minke whale disappeared, and said: "Among the injured whales, there are not many who are as lucky as this minke whale to be healed. The less injured ones may get better naturally, but the more serious ones have nothing to do. Some of them died in the sea and were washed ashore by waves, their bodies were found, and some of them stranded on the shore like this minke whale, but the discoverers didn't know how to deal with it urgently, which wasted precious time and finally waited for us to arrive time is dead..."
"Of course, I'm not shirking responsibility. There are also reasons for our slow reaction and action. Like those under me, several of them are frail college students who have just graduated and admitted. They don't know anything, and they have to teach everything. Seasickness... You said seasickness, why do you want to be admitted to the Fishery Administration? Isn't this a problem for us? People said that they thought they were in an office before they got admitted..." Ke Shaohui complained as he spoke.
Zhang Zian can understand. In the past, there was not a single whale to be seen outside the sea of Binhai City. The sudden appearance of so many whales suddenly made the fishery administration ill-prepared. It must be in a hurry.
"But I think you are very experienced?" He asked tentatively.
"Me? I used to be in the navy." Ke Shaohui said proudly, "If I lead these college students, it's almost like letting a lion lead a group of sheep!"
No wonder... Zhang Zian came to a sudden, and said that the skillful and exquisite sailor's knot was not something that ordinary people could tie, it must be the skill of an old sailor, and the other party's statement was not bragging.
Ke Shaohui stared at Zhang Zian's face, and said half-jokingly: "By the way, because of the shortage of manpower, I heard that this year the city's fishery administration will expand its scale and double its budget to deal with the sudden increase in whales. It depends on your age. You should be in your twenties, right? Do you want to take the exam?"
The boys under him who had just walked out of school were really embarrassing. Seeing the stitched wounds on the Minke Whale, he felt that if Zhang Zian could be recruited into the fishery administration team, he would definitely be able to become an instant combat force. However, he also knew that this might not be possible. After all, Zhang Zian was already famous, and there was no need to get involved in the system. It was just a pity that there were too few such talents.
As expected, Zhang Zian declined his invitation.
"Where did those whales get injured?" Zhang Zian asked curiously.
Ke Shaohui thought for a while, "It's hard to say about propellers, because the propellers are similar in all countries. When whales dive from the boat, if they dive too shallow, they may be injured by the propellers. By the way, the fishing ban in this city will probably be earlier this year. , and then the lifting of the ban will be postponed, and I heard that the higher authorities are studying how to compensate fishermen, which is also impossible. However, there are not many fishermen who actually go fishing at sea, and most of them are cage farming, which has little impact.”
Zhang Zian nodded. It is true that the fishing boats coming and going could accidentally injure the whales.
"As for the damage caused by the harpoon..." Ke Shaohui pondered, "Although it cannot be completely ruled out that a few Chinese fishermen acted out of greed and curiosity, most of them should be caused by fishermen poaching whales in South Korea and Fusang. The fishermen here do not have the tradition of catching and eating whales, even if they catch a whale, they may be reported by citizens with a sense of justice, so few fishermen in this city would be foolish enough to do such a thankless thing.”
Zhang Zian guessed it more or less, but he was still a little emotional when he got the confirmation from Ke Shaohui's mouth.
In fact, Chinese people have a strong awareness of the protection of large wild animals such as cetaceans. A few years ago, a dead juvenile minke whale appeared in a university cafeteria in Qilu, and the students immediately reported it to the media and relevant departments. .
"In addition, some whales have no obvious cause of death, but after dissection, it was found that their stomachs were filled with plastic bags and other household garbage." Ke Shaohui sighed, "It may be that there are not enough fish to eat, they just Being able to find something else to eat is one of the reasons why the fishing moratorium should be brought forward.”
Zhang Zian didn't think of this before, but when Ke Shaohui mentioned it, he immediately understood.
Whales eat a lot, and after years of fishing in the coastal waters of Binhai City, there are not many fish left. In order to allow these whales to settle down in Binhai City for a long time, the city leaders must make every effort to create an environment suitable for their survival, but this cannot be achieved overnight.
Ke Shaohui looked at the waterproof watch on his wrist, "Ah, it's getting late, I have to go back quickly, otherwise people will think I'm on an errand."
Zhang Zian was already hungry, pointed at his Wuling Shenguang and said, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"Okay, thank you!" Ke Shaohui was not polite, and happily got into the car. ...
