master of the deep

Chapter 13 Review

"Captain, please inspect your fishing boat."

When Lin Fan arrived, the team leader of No. [-] engineering team led all the engineering soldiers to greet him respectfully, and showed him around the new Golden Pearl.

In fact, when he was still outside, Lin Fan felt the change in the fishing boat, it can be said that the change was very big.First of all, on the outside, the shell of the Hei Zhu was originally black, but now it is azure blue, which is almost the same color as the sea water, and the four big characters of "Golden Pearl" are painted on it, which gives people a strong feeling. Shocked.

When he arrived on the fishing boat, Lin Fan found that some of the original equipment seemed to have been dismantled, and a part of the deck was simplified, so it became much wider and not as messy as before.

"Captain, according to the purpose of the fishing boats on this planet, combined with some advanced technologies, we have carried out many modifications to the fishing boats. , control system, detection system, and the automation level of the fishing system.” The engineering team leader introduced Lin Fan.

Generally speaking, after the transformation, the capabilities of the "Golden Pearl" have increased by one-third on the original basis, and the overall level is already close to that of some large ocean-going fishing vessels.

"Captain, now the fuel consumption of the fishing boat has been reduced by one-third, so we have reduced the oil depot by one-third. That is to say, each refueling in the future is only two-thirds of the original, but the time used is the same as It turned out to be quite the same, and saved one-third of the space of the oil depot.”

"In addition, the original freshwater reservoir has also been transformed, and the space has been greatly reduced. We used the existing manufacturing technology on the earth to assemble a small seawater purifier, which can purify seawater into fresh water. It can only be purified every day. The amount of seawater is not large, only enough for 18 people to live in. Therefore, we have reduced the size of the freshwater reservoir by half, saving some space.”

"In this way, the refrigerated space has been increased, and the storage capacity of the entire fishing boat has increased from 26 tons to 32 tons, an increase of 6 tons, and it can carry more fish."

"The power system, detection system and fishing system have basically realized automatic control, and the number of personnel required for the fishing boat has also been greatly reduced. Only about 12 people are needed to start the fishing boat daily, and the optimal number of people to carry is within 20."

"After the detection system capability is improved, it can detect fish schools within a radius of three kilometers and at a depth of 500 meters below the sea surface, increasing the chances of fishing boats finding precious fish."

"After the modification of the fishing system, not only does it not require manpower to release and collect the nets, but the fishing attempts of the sea nets have also increased. From the original 200 meters deep into the sea, it has increased to about 300 meters, and some deep-sea fish can be caught."

"Finally, the speed of fishing boats has also been improved. The original speed was 11 knots, and now the fastest speed can reach 18 knots, which has increased by one-third and saved the time to go to sea."

Wherever he went, Lin Fan found that the performance of the "Golden Pearl" had been improved in an all-round way. He had stayed on this ship for ten days, so he naturally knew the situation on board, but now he found that the "Golden Pearl" A little strange.

Moreover, in order to improve the degree of automation, the engineering team also installed some fish washing machines, fish fillet machines, cutting machines, peeling machines, meat picking machines, fish meal machines, etc. on the "Golden Pearl" that only large fishing boats would install. A variety of fish handling and processing machinery, which can process the catch into fish fillets, fish segments, canned food, surimi, fish meal, etc.

In the past, the Black Pearl needed 25 or six people to basically start it, and the crew was too tired to finish their daily work.However, the manpower required for the remodeled "Golden Pearl" has been reduced by half, greatly saving various costs.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with the transformation of the "Golden Pearl", and ordered the engineering team to drive it out of the repair shop and check it out into the sea, then go to fill up the fuel and fresh water, purchase the corresponding daily necessities, and then stop at the corresponding place in Dongzhou Fishing Port .

Afterwards, Lin Fan contacted Zhang Zhide and asked him to find ten crew members.Lin Fan didn't plan to assign all those engineering soldiers to the fishing boat. As long as one person was in charge of controlling the fishing boat, the rest of the work would still be handed over to those original friends, which could be regarded as finding a meal for them.

"Uncle De, the Heizhu fishing boat has been repaired, but it is now renamed the Golden Pearl. It is expected to go to sea on August [-], and there are still three days to prepare. I would like to trouble you to help find the crew members on the Heizhu. How many of them are here willing to join my Golden Pearl?"

Zhang Zhide contacted him, and it turned out that some of the crew members on the Black Pearl had gone to other ships, and some had gone home. Now that Zhang Zhide is added, there are still ten people left, including the one who is most familiar with Lin Fan. Li Hu, Cai Xingming, Wang Hongzheng, Liu Shan, Hao Gang, and Wang Tiezhu.

"By the way, Boss, there is another person on my side. He is from my hometown. His name is Chen Chaoguo. He used to be on another fishing boat, and now he is also looking for a job. See if you can sign him too." Finally, Zhang Zhide introduced A person came over.

"That's fine. Since he is your fellow villager, of course it's no problem. You can bring him along. By the way, after the current fishing boat has been remodeled, the number of manpower required has been reduced a lot, so only eleven of you are enough. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract in the afternoon, and then go to complete the procedures for going to sea.” Lin Fan still has some respect for Zhang Zhide, and he naturally agreed to introduce the fellow.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhide brought ten people including Li Hu, Cai Xingming, Wang Hongzheng, Liu Shan, Hao Gang, Wang Tiezhu, and Chen Chaoguo to sign employment contracts with Lin Fan. It ranges from 20.00 yuan to 350 yuan, and in addition, bonuses of varying sizes will be issued according to the catch.

"Lin Fan, I didn't expect you to buy a fishing boat because of your secrets." As soon as we met, Li Hu patted Lin Fan's shoulder and said.

"Yes, Fanzai, we will follow you to make a living in the future, please take care of us." Cai Xingming also smiled and said with his arms around Lin Fan's shoulders.

"You boy, at least I haven't forgotten my buddies. We originally planned to sign contracts with other fishing boats, but when Uncle De said that you bought the Black Pearl and were going to invite us back, we stayed and waited for your news. .” Hao Gang also joined the chat.

Others such as Wang Hongzheng, Liu Shan, and Wang Tiezhu were also very happy. They got along relatively well with Lin Fan when they were on the fishing boat, so Lin Fan also liked their personalities.

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as there is meat for me, Lin Fan, there will definitely be soup for everyone to drink. Moreover, after the fishing boat has been renovated, its capabilities in all aspects have improved a lot. Everyone will be much more relaxed. Our main tasks will be in the future. Shifting to the aspect of treasure hunting under the sea, maybe everyone will become a millionaire accidentally." Lin Fan said to everyone with a smile.

Because the degree of automation of fishing boats has increased, apart from cleaning fish, everyone usually has not much work, so they have more time to go to the bottom of the sea to find treasures.

Moreover, those intelligent engineering soldiers also modified their diving suits, and now they can dive to a depth of nearly 100 meters, which is more than 70 meters deeper than the original 20 meters, and naturally there are more treasures to be found.

"Hey, you guys, you have to be called the boss in the future, don't be so unreasonable." At this time, Zhang Zhide came over and coughed and said to everyone. He was accompanied by a 25-year-old young man.

"Uncle De, we are all brothers and friends who have gone to sea together. Don't be so ostentatious, just call me whatever you want. It's the same with you. What kind of boss is it? Listen to my identity. You should call me Xiaofan from now on."

"That can't be done. There are no rules. There are no rules. How about this? When you are on the fishing boat, everyone has to call the captain or the boss. When you go ashore, you can do whatever you want. By the way, this is my fellow villager Chen Chaoguo. Xiao Chen, I will follow the boss from now on." Do it, as you have seen, the boss is very nice and treats everyone well." Uncle De smiled, and then introduced the young people around him.

"Brother Chen, hello, welcome to join the Golden Pearl fishing boat, I will work hard for you in the future." Lin Fan immediately shook hands with Chen Chaoguo, and at the same time looked at him, he found that Chen Chaoguo had dark skin and had been working at sea for many years His eyes are narrow, which makes his smile a little ugly.

"Hi boss, you can just call me Xiao Chen. I heard Uncle De tell me about you, but I didn't expect the boss to be so young. You are really young and promising. I will ask the boss to take care of me in the future. If you have anything to do, just tell me. I have no other skills, but I can bear hardships and stand hard work.

I believe that working with the boss will lead to a bright future. "Lin Fan didn't expect that Chen Chaoguo was very good at talking, and his expression was very vivid when he spoke, as if every word he said was confiding in his heart.

Later, Lin Fan followed Uncle De to purchase various daily necessities. Uncle De seemed to take good care of the little fellow Chen Chaoguo and took him with him, which allowed him to play some of his strengths. When bargaining, he said that the price was lowered.

After spending 120 million yuan, Lin Fan filled up the "Golden Pearl" with all the fuel and fresh water, and stored enough daily necessities for 18 people to live at sea for 20 days. The above amounted to 690 million.

After setting the date of going to sea, Lin Fan notified Wang Biao and Zhou Xiaolin. The two got the consent of their families and prepared very excitedly. pocket money.
