Chapter 878 Old Sailor

The backs of Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi and his son went further and further away. In the end, they could only see the goldfish kite on Lao Huang's back being blown up by the wind from time to time. Someone said casually: "It would be great if there were more people like this."

Zhang Zi'an turned his head and saw that he was the leading fishery administrator. He was in his thirties and was in his prime. He was strong and powerful.

"Ah, I haven't introduced it yet. My surname is Ke, and my name is Ke Shaohui." He came over to shake hands on his own initiative. "Actually, I can see that you were mainly treating the minky whale just now, right? Did the father and son help me?"

His eyes fell on Zhang Zi'an's sleeve.

Both of Zhang Zian's cuffs were stained with whale blood, and some blood spots were splashed on his clothes. He probably couldn't wash them out. Fortunately, they were not expensive brand-name clothes.

In comparison, Lao Huang and Xiao Zhi and his son had almost no blood on their bodies. They were clean and were just 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.

"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have known that a minky whale would have been stranded here." Zhang Zian said, and introduced his name.

"This...If I say it wrong, don't take it to my heart. Why do I think you look familiar? Have we seen it somewhere?" Ke Shaohui stared at Zhang Zi'an's face and kept looking suspiciously, "It seems that he has heard of the name somewhere..."

Zhang Zian is very sure that he has never seen the other party.

"Ah! I remembered it! You are the one who took the dog to Berlin to receive the award..." Ke Shaohui suddenly remembered that he had seen news about Zhang Zi'an while wandering around the Internet.

Zhang Zian smiled and did not deny it.

"Tsk! No wonder you are so familiar with treating animals. If someone else is here, the whale will probably die long ago..." Ke Shaohui said smacking his lips.

"Section Chief! Are you there?" A voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Ke Shaohui put the walkie-talkie to his mouth, "What's the matter?"

"I just received a report that a fishing boat nearby had leaked from the reef and was about to sink. The superior asked us to help, and the situation was quite urgent." said the intercom.

"Okay, I understand. You drive the boat over..." Ke Shaohui said halfway, looking up at the towboat, and frowned.

The fishing officials on the tugboat were worried that the wounds on the mink whale were exploding while swimming, so they drove the boat to follow the mink whale for a while until it sneaked into the sea without any trace. They stopped. They had now left a long distance, only a small undulating black dot appeared on the sea surface, at least ten kilometers away from the shore.

The tugboat was driven to the shore, lowered the inflatable boat, picked Ke Shaohui back to the tugboat, and drove to the location where the fishing boat crashed. This series of processes was very wasteful, especially the crashed fishing boat was in a critical condition and could not be delayed.

So Ke Shaohui immediately changed his words and said, "You go to help the crashed fishing boat immediately, don't have to come back to pick me up."

"Then section chief, you..."

"I'll take a taxi back by myself, hurry up." Ke Shaohui gave an order without any explanation.

"Okay, then we're going."

The engine of the tugboat twisted the white waves, slowly turned its head, and drove in full force in the other direction.

In fact, the minky whale head left without looking back just now. Part of the reason should be that it was afraid of the tugboat. It could not tell the difference between the tugboat and the one that hurt it. It was just that Zhang Zian didn't tell Lao Huang about this reason.

When Ke Shaohui was speaking, Zhang Zi'an put down the corners of his pants and put on his shoes and socks.

When Ke Shaohui put down the walkie-talkie, Zhang Zi'an asked, "By the way, you just said that something similar happened before? Can you tell me?"

"Oh, yes." Ke Shaohui nodded, "There have been many whales coming to the coast of Binhai City recently. Do you know this?"

"I know, I've acted on TV news." Zhang Zi's heart said that I might be the first to know.

"Well, our department is very busy recently, and we always have to cooperate with the experts sent by the above to go out to sea. The boat came late today, because of this reason..." Ke Shaohui had no choice but to spread his hands, "The existing boats are not enough, but in the past it was more than enough."

"Expert?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

"Because these whales came inexplicably." Ke Shaohui said frankly: "The TV said that it was because our city's pollution control was effective. In fact, we all understand that it is not the same thing at all. We are patrolling the coast almost every day. We know better than anyone else about how pollution control is. Of course, marine pollution has indeed improved in recent years, but it is still far from meeting the expected goals... We understand these things, and the people above also understand them, so we invited many experts from home and abroad to study what exactly attracted so many whales in Binhai City, but..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "The experts line up and leave again. The funds have been spent a lot of money. There are so many different theories, just saying that there are alien spacecraft hidden underwater in Binhai City, but there is no reliable one!"

Zhang Zi'an held back his laughter and thought to himself that it was really hard for these experts.

Ke Shaohui continued: "The number of whales is increasing, which is definitely a good thing. The people above also support it, which will help the city develop tourism. However, some whales are injured, some are stabbed by harpoons, some are injured by propellers, and some are injured in some other injuries."

Zhang Zi'an cheered up and listened seriously.

Ke Shaohui looked in the direction where the mink whales disappeared and said, "There are not many injured whales who are as lucky as this mink whales. Those with mild injuries may naturally improve, but those with severe injuries have no choice. Some of them died in the sea and were washed to the shore by the waves. The bodies were discovered, and some were stranded to the shore like this mink whales. However, the discoverer did not know how to deal with it urgently, which was delayed precious time. Finally, when we arrived, they were already dead..."

"Of course, I'm not shirking responsibility. This is also the reason why we react and act slowly. For example, those under me are weak college students who have just graduated and got into the exam. They don't know anything and have to teach everything. Some have seasickness... Why do you think you have to go to the fishery administration for seasickness? Isn't this a confusion for us? People say that before they get into the exam, they thought they were in the office..." Ke Shaohui complained as he said.

Zhang Zian could understand it. In the past, there was no whale outside the sea of ​​Binhai City. So many whales suddenly appeared. The fishery administration, who was not prepared, must be in a hurry.

"But I think you are very experienced?" he asked tentatively.

"Me? I used to be a navy." Ke Shaohui said proudly: "Let me take these college students, it's almost the same as letting a lion bring a group of sheep!"

No wonder... Zhang Zian suddenly realized that the skillful and exquisite sailor knot was not something that ordinary people could beat. It must be from the old sailor's technique. The other party's statement was not bragging.

Ke Shaohui stared at Zhang Zi'an's face and said half-jokingly: "By the way, because of insufficient staff, I heard that the city's fishery administration will expand its scale this year and its budget will also increase exponentially to deal with the sudden increase in whales. It depends on your age in your twenties, right? Do you want to try the exam?"

The young boys under him who had just left the school gate were really embarrassing. When he saw the wounds sewn on the minky whale, he felt that if Zhang Zi'an could be recruited into the fishing administration team, he would definitely be able to become real-time combat power. However, he also knew that this might not be possible. After all, Zhang Zi'an was successful and there was no need to get involved in the system. It was just a pity that there were still too few such talents.

As expected, Zhang Zi'an politely declined his invitation.

"Where did those whales get hurt?" Zhang Zi'an asked curiously.

Ke Shaohui thought for a while, "It's hard to say about propellers, because the propellers in various countries are similar. When whales dive out of the boat, they may be injured by propellers if they dive too shallowly. By the way, the city's fishing moratorium period this year must be advanced, and then the lifting period will be postponed. I heard that the above is studying how to compensate fishermen, which is also impossible. However, there are not many fishermen who really go out to sea to fish, most of them are cage-raising, which has little impact."

Zhang Zi'an nodded. The fishing boats coming and going may indeed accidentally injure the whale.

"As for the damage caused by harpoons..." Ke Shaohui pondered, "Although it cannot be completely ruled out that a few Chinese fishermen do things out of greed and curiosity, most of them should be caused by fishermen poaching whales in South Korea and Fuso. The fishermen here do not have the tradition of whaling and eating whales. Even if they catch whales, they may be reported by citizens with a sense of justice, so few fishermen in this city will do such thankless things."

Zhang Zian guessed it a little, but after getting it confirmed from Ke Shaohui's mouth, he was still a little moved.

In fact, Chinese people have a strong awareness of protecting large wild animals such as cetaceans. A few years ago, a dead minky whale appeared in a university cafeteria in Qilu, and was immediately reported by students to the media and relevant departments.

"In addition, there are whales that do not have obvious causes of death, but after dissection, they found that their stomachs were filled with plastic bags and other domestic waste." Ke Shaohui sighed, "Maybe there is not enough fish to eat, so they can only find other things to eat, which is one of the reasons why the fishing moratorium needs to be advanced."

Zhang Zian hadn't thought of this before, and after Ke Shaohui mentioned it, he immediately understood.

The whales have a large appetite, and after years of fishing, there are not many fish left in the offshore of Binhai City. In order to allow these whales to settle in Binhai City for a long time, the city leaders must do their best to create an environment suitable for their survival, but this cannot be achieved overnight.

Ke Shaohui looked at the waterproof watch on his wrist and said, "Ah, it's getting late, I'm going back quickly, otherwise others would have thought I'm going to be a runaway."

Zhang Zian was already hungry and pointed at his Wuling Divine Light and said, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Okay, thank you!" Ke Shaohui was not polite and got into the car happily.
