The weather in winter is like this, either there is strong wind or there is no wind at all.

Just like today, there is no wind at all on the sea.

It was a rare good weather, so as soon as the boat left the dock, we met a lot of fishing boats.

Zhao Anguo is not satisfied with such weather. In his opinion, when testing a ship, it is best to have some wind and waves to better test the quality of the ship itself.

"Brother Cat, is your resignation going smoothly?"

"If there is anything going well or not, Lao Cai said it a bit harshly. It has already passed, so I won't mention it anymore."

Zhao Qin nodded and walked to Chen Yuce and Xia Shouzhu again, "Are you okay?"

Chen Yuce is a tough-looking man, about 20 years old. He is Xia Rong's cousin. I heard that he is also a naughty and mischievous person at home.

At this moment, looking at everything on the boat was full of novelty, "Brother Aqin, how long do we have to drive?"

"I guess it will take two or three hours. I will be offline for work then. Do you feel okay?"

"What's wrong with this? My sister also said that I will get seasick. This is safer than riding in a car."

Zhao Qin smiled and ignored the boy. He would feel it when the wind started blowing. It would shake all the internal organs out of place and make the brains mix together.

But judging from Chen Yuce's performance, at least this kid is not afraid of water.

He looked at Xia Shouzhu again. He was Xia Rong's cousin. He was two years older than Zhao Qin. He used to work outside and had stayed at home since he got married the year before last.

"Brother Zhuzi, are you okay?" Xia Shouzhu's temperament is a bit naive, a bit like his elder brother.

When Zhao Qin asked, he smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, just say it when you are busy, we are novices, but we are not lazy."

"Row."

Zhao Qin was busy getting familiar with each new crew member, trying to integrate them as soon as possible, while Zhao Anguo was communicating with the shipyard technicians to see what areas of the ship needed improvement.

After a smooth journey to the operation area, Zhao Anguo glanced at the people on the boat, pointed at Zhao Qin and said, "You cast the first net."

Zhao Qin has actually never set off a trawl net, but he has seen a lot of them during this period. This ship is equipped with a single bottom trawl net.

There are many types of trawl nets. They use a single-bag airfoil type. They first lower the net into the sea, then unfold the two wing net panels to expand the water surface size of the net mouth, and then drag the net at a certain speed to start operation.

When collecting the nets, most of them are machine-operated. What humans need to do is collect the net plates, and then sort the fish after they get on the deck.

"Old Cat, come and try." Zhao Anguo waved Old Cat to the console, and Zhao Qin followed closely.

Zhao Anguo stood aside and watched Lao Mao operate without saying a word.

The old cat was not afraid. He first slowed down the boat, then looked at the entire sea area, then looked at the monitor on the boat, and then shouted: "Load the net."

Zhao Qin hurriedly walked out of the central control area, jumped onto the deck and started operating. Zhao Ping and others stepped forward to help.

Put the net into the sea in an orderly manner, and then nothing will happen.

Since there were not many working tools on board, there was nothing to organize. Everyone sat on the deck again to brag.

About half an hour later, Zhao Anguo walked out of the central control cabin and waved to Zhao Qin, and the two came to the bow.

Zhao Qin lit a cigarette for his father and asked, "How is it?"

"Old sailor, technically there is no problem. As for his character, I don't know much about him."

"My character should be okay, Dad, don't worry."

Zhao Anguo nodded slightly, and then talked about another thing, "After that year, there are many projects in the village, and I thought about letting Qiangzi and the others come over. Do you think so?"

"Do you still have contact with them?"

"It's always been there. They don't have a good place to go. There are a lot of places for people to live in the village. As for accommodation, there are a lot of empty old houses in the village. Just let them rent one or two rooms."

"You can make the decision on this matter. If not, let them be a small foreman and see which part they can be responsible for."

Hearing that his son had no objection, Zhao Anguo was completely relieved and said with a smile: "I thought so too. The dock may use a lot of stonework, and I thought about letting them be responsible for the stonework."

After chatting for a few words, Zhao Ping also came over, and the conversation between the two ended.

"Dad, I have looked at all the equipment. They are the same as those marked on the list. I have to try them one by one to see if they can be used."

"We'll find out when the net is launched."

Zhao Qin asked his eldest brother to accompany his father, and he returned to the center console to brag with the old cat.

"Brother Cat, are you still getting used to it?"

"What's wrong with this? Don't worry, Ah Qin. There will be no technical problems, but whether there are fish in the sea or not is not something I can say."

"Don't worry, I can understand this. We will discuss it in the future."

Hearing what he said, Old Mao felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Zhao Qin would ignore him and let him take full responsibility. Then if the fishing was not good, he would have to bear the main responsibility.

"It's time to eat, Brother Cat. I'll change hands. You eat first?" Zhao Ping came over to inform.

"You guys eat first, you're welcome."

Zhao Qin smiled and gave Brother Cat a cigarette, then followed Zhao Ping to the deck to eat. The meal was brought from the shipyard and was all dry food.

Seeing this, Zhao Qin secretly noted that there were really a lot of things to add to the ship.

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the afternoon that the first network was started.

Several people divided the work and cooperated. First, the net collecting machine started to collect. When the net was about to surface, the net plates were pulled up and hung on both sides of the stern. Then the iron braces were hung on the boom.

Use the power of the boom to collect the net.

"Not bad." Zhao Anguo looked at the bulging net bag and said with a smile.

Zhao Qin estimated that it was almost a ton. It only took more than an hour. If it had been pulled for a longer time, he might have gained more.

As a result, everyone was depressed when the net was opened and the harvest fell on the deck.

There are a lot of things, but nearly two-thirds are almost entirely garbage, and there are some unknown jellyfish species on the seabed. There are not many that can really be sold for money.

If we usually get such a harvest, everyone will just say it and it will be over, but it is different today. This is the first net of a new ship.

The old cat also ran to the deck and took a look, the expression on his face froze.

Zhao Qin said with a smile: "It's good if you gain something. Pick out the ones that can be used. Today is just a test of the machine. It will definitely be fine when the official operation begins."

PS: It is not difficult to maintain the quantity, but it needs to be adjusted to maintain the quality. Please watch first, I am actively looking for the status.
