Zhipeng nodded: "I remember! We didn't have the conditions to fish at that time, so we had to turn back. But I have memorized the location and can find it."

Captain Chen considered the issue more comprehensively, his brow furrowed slightly. "The undercurrent is 25 knots per hour. That's quite a speed, and the fishing risk is very high. Old Xiao, what do you think?"

Vice Captain Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Although the reef area presents considerable risks, the size of the fish school is indeed enticing. Rather than let them go to waste, we should give it a try. However, we must be fully prepared."

Captain Chen nodded and turned his gaze to Zhipeng: "What do you think?"

Zhipeng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The reef area is indeed dangerous, but if we can proceed with caution and avoid areas with strong undercurrents, we might be able to try it. I suggest sending a small landing craft to conduct reconnaissance and trial fishing first. Once safety is confirmed, we can decide whether to conduct large-scale fishing."

Captain Chen and Vice Captain Xiao exchanged a glance, and Captain Chen decisively ordered, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Immediately dispatch a small landing craft equipped with advanced detection equipment and emergency response gear, along with another fishing team, to conduct reconnaissance in the reef area."

Deputy Captain Xiao nodded and quickly turned around to leave to make arrangements.

Soon, a well-equipped small landing craft was ready.

Due to limited conditions, the boat is not only equipped with a sonar detector, but also carries emergency life-saving equipment, including life jackets, oxygen cylinders and first aid kits, to ensure timely response in emergencies.

The members of the fishing team were also fully armed, wearing life jackets, carrying fishing tools, and ready to set off.

Zhipeng and Xue Tao led the way.

The sea was still calm, but everyone on the boat was on edge, especially Zhipeng.

He stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the dark sea, and occasionally picked up the telescope to confirm the direction.

After driving for about two hours, we finally arrived at our destination.

The journey was very peaceful and everyone's tense nerves relaxed.

They activated the ship's sonar detector to observe the undercurrent.

There are dense reefs of various shapes, and the sea water forms complex whirlpools among the reefs, and the water flow is extremely fast.

"Captain, the undercurrent is indeed very fast, estimated to be around 25 nautical miles per hour. Moreover, the surface of the reef is very sharp, and it is very risky to get close to it," the technician reported.

The captain frowned, and after a moment, he ordered: "Drive the boat over, be sure to keep a safe distance, avoid areas with strong undercurrents, and try to catch some fish."

The members of the fishing team acted quickly and carefully lowered the fishing nets into the water.

As the net slowly sank, the movement trajectory of the fish school appeared on the sonar detector screen.

Schools of silvery fish swam among the reefs, the number of which was astonishing.

"Captain, the fish are very dense!" a crew member shouted excitedly, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

The captain nodded and signaled everyone to remain calm: "Operate carefully, avoid reefs, and don't be too greedy."

The fishing net slowly approached the school of fish, and with a slight sound, the net successfully caught some of the fish.

The crew quickly pulled up the nets, and the silvery-white fish jumped in the net, shining brightly.

"Success!" a crew member shouted excitedly, with joy that was hard to conceal in his voice.

The captain looked at the fish in the net and felt relieved.

Although the catch this time was not large, it was enough to prove the feasibility of the reef area.

"Let the fishing team participate in fishing and pay attention to safety." The captain ordered.

Their fishing team consists of five medium-sized fishing boats, and they usually set out with a fishing team each.

Now, everyone is gathered together to make a big move.

Five medium-sized fishing boats, like five agile seabirds, carefully shuttled between the reefs under the command of the captain.
