Finding a few grassy pits, Li Yunfei fell down, pulling out the fishing rod in sections, one for each person, and slowly placing the hook into the grassy hole with a worm attached. This was Li Yunfei's first time using the Seven Star Float. He had done his homework in advance; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how to find the bottom.
With no one around, Li Yunfei spoke to Li Yunlong, "There might be a hundred billion project coming up, involving Carbon Fiber. If it succeeds, it will definitely be at a military-grade level."
"It's being handled by Shi Ye. On paper, I'm the one taking the lead, and a few old gentlemen from the capital will be involved. You need to be prepared."
Such matters couldn't be discussed over the phone; Li Yunfei had to fly over for a face-to-face meeting with Li Yunlong.
"Shi Ye is involved? Leading domestically?" Li Yunlong instinctively asked when Shi Ye was mentioned.
"Shi Ye has quite a few connections abroad and has managed to bring some things back. But Carbon Fiber is a bit tricky! This kid has kept it tightly under wraps!"
"It's internationally leading, and far ahead at that! Just like what's on this fishing rod!" Li Yunfei said with a hint of pride.
Looking down at the fishing rod in his hand, he wondered if it was really that advanced. What difference could it have compared to an Ordinary Fishing Rod? The problem was he had never used an Ordinary Fishing Rod either! He didn't know how to fish!
"Why did Shi Ye give this matter to you?" After staring at the fishing rod for a while, Li Yunlong asked curiously.
"Don't worry about that; just think about how to get this done first." As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the rod and pulled up a bighead carp weighing over a pound. This was a good omen!
He rushed over from afar just for that statement. The timeliness of information is crucial; if you can get news a few days in advance, its value can multiply infinitely.
Li Yunlong was in politics; Li Yunfei coming over definitely wasn't just to stake out land. Li Yunlong had been thinking about this for quite some time; once it was set in motion, there would be no issues.
"Isn't your fishing rod mismatched with the line? Why is it so short?" After saying this, he noticed that several bobbers that had been floating on the water were already gone. Pulling them up revealed something struggling on the surface—had he hooked a fish?
With a flick of the rod, another bighead carp flew into the air. This fish was no smaller than the one Li Yunfei had caught; fishing was too easy!
He began reeling in the rod section by section; once it was slightly shorter than its full length, he could easily pull the fish up! After guiding Li Yunlong once more, Li Yunfei cast his line again.
After two hours, they had caught over ten carp of various sizes in the bucket. Today’s catch was impressive; they would definitely enjoy Milk Fish Soup for dinner tonight.
Fishing turned out to be quite fun; he decided to keep this fishing rod for himself so he could come back and fish whenever he wanted! As he removed another carp from the hook and tossed it into his fish bucket, Li Yunlong started eyeing his rod.
"Forget about that thought! I can't give you this rod; I'll get you an entirely new set instead. You probably won't even use it much!" As soon as Li Yunlong spoke, Li Yunfei felt like grabbing his rod and running away.
This guy always took advantage of any opportunity; if he didn’t move quickly, this rod would really be gone!
"Look at you being so stingy! You can't even part with one fishing rod? Could it be that your so-called leading position has some flaws? Afraid I’ll expose you?" To provoke him further over just one rod that wouldn’t see much use, Li Yunlong resorted to taunting him.
"This rod is fine in my hands but not in yours! Just like this watch I have—on my wrist it's understated, but on yours, it would be disastrous!" He teased Li Yunlong as Li Yunfei began reeling in his line.
As he reeled in the rod and packed it away into its box, he turned around to collect the rod from Li Yunlong’s hands.
"How long has Xiao Hai been up there? He should be here by now!" Li Yunlong casually asked as he watched Li Yunfei pack away the sections of his Rod.
"He can't come yet. I'm planning to get him on Blue Whale One for a while longer!" Li Yunfei replied, putting the Rod into its case. He lifted his gear and turned to leave.
Speaking of Blue Whale One, the Air Force was currently rushing towards it. After finishing at Zao Kou, Shi Tian had spent a few hours at sea with Li Ziyu and Yun Wan'er, collecting seashells.
They weren't far from Blue Whale One, but there were no big fish around for now. The well had just been completed last month, and they had only recently started working. The water density around Xiao Yu was low, and the big fish hadn't been attracted yet.
In another two or three months, they would likely be able to go fishing for big fish! However, by then, the fishing ban would probably be in effect, so if they wanted to fish, it would have to wait until June.
Blue Whale One was the most advanced drilling platform in the world, but it still fell short compared to Blue Whale. The latter had the capability to collect combustible ice and was engaged in experimental extraction, which put it a notch above Blue Whale One.
Currently, Blue Whale was operating in the Divine Fox Sea Area and held multiple world records. Shi Tian hoped to visit that area as well; there were surely plenty of big fish there.
Blue Whale One was different from Blue Whale; while Blue Whale One focused on drilling and production, fishing was a different matter altogether. It was possible to tie a boat to a steel pipe without issue, but getting too close to a drilling platform would result in warnings.
