Our nation is an industrious nation with a profound farming tradition.

The devil's construction site "planted" islands in the South China Sea, went to the moon to grow vegetables, and turned the ocean into our "pasture...... It's all right.

Large-scale aquaculture vessels, large-scale fences in the open sea, and cold-water masses...... These remote and unpopular concepts, once we are willing to invest resources, are also potted vegetables!

When Professor Dong returned to Pishan Island, he was presented with two preliminary designs for large-scale aquaculture vessels.

"Actually, it's not so much a design as an idea. Qi Zheng explained.

Obviously, CSSC has long had an idea of using the obsolete ship type and excess capacity to build offshore fishing equipment such as aquaculture ships, so when Jiagu contacted them, they quickly gave two plans.

Large-scale breeding ships are actually "cultivators".

"One is the smart fishery large-scale aquaculture ship, which is equipped with a helicopter deck and looks like a large oil tanker. The total length is about 250 meters, the width is 45 meters, and the load capacity is about 100,000 tons......"

It is said to be a breeding ship, in fact, it can also be regarded as a large floating cage, but it can go deep into the deep sea area that ordinary breeding cages cannot reach.

According to the assumption given by Qi Zheng, when the aquaculture vessel is operating, the bottom end of the water intake pipe will be deep into the deep-sea cold water mass, and the low-temperature seawater will be collected for cold-water fish farming. Thermal insulation is used around the perimeter of the fish tank to prevent heat exchange that can lead to high water temperatures, ensuring that high-value marine cold-water fish such as salmon can be farmed even in high summer temperatures.

Seeing this, Professor Dong couldn't sit still and muttered to himself: "Yes, this is the cold-water fish farming model I want......"

Qi Zheng coughed lightly. In fact, this is the mature plan of the cold-water group breeding ship that he turned out from his memory, and it will take at least two or three years before Professor Dong's team officially finalizes this idea.

"Ahem, let's look at another plan. ”

"The deep-sea aquaculture processing vessel is more advanced, it looks like a luxury cruise ship, and has all the amenities to support the crew and fishermen at sea for a long time. Moreover, its main scale is larger, with a length of more than 250 meters, a width of about 44 meters, and a load capacity of 107,000 tons......"

In addition, the second option could also be used to carry out a wider range of deep-sea "encirclement" culture in the form of breeding tanks into the ocean.

Whether it is the former or the latter, you can navigate autonomously in the global seas, avoid natural disasters such as typhoons and red tides, find the best quality water source and the best breeding water temperature, use a closed aquaculture system to create the best growth environment for fish, and can directly carry out freezing and deep processing on the ship, which can be described as a one-stop service - a large-scale aquaculture ship, in fact, is a large-scale marine aquaculture and processing platform.

It is worth mentioning that the draft of the aquaculture vessels of both schemes is more than 21 meters, which is far more than that of the aircraft carrier.

"These are clearly two offshore aquaculture aircraft carriers!" Professor Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

He suddenly understood that Qi Zheng's investment of more than four billion yuan.

Even the "aircraft carrier" has come out, what is the value of billions of dollars?

Of course, this is not to say that the cost of a "breeding aircraft carrier" needs several billion yuan, after all, this is only a preliminary idea, and there are still 108,000 miles before it becomes a reality.

Breakthroughs should be made in the environmental control technology of shipborne tank culture, the comprehensive aquaculture technology of deep-sea giant cages, the technology of long-distance automatic feeding, and the breakthrough of light movable fishing equipment...... At least half of the investment will be spent on research into such key technologies.

How else to say that deep-sea aquaculture requires investment in industrial specifications?

Ordinary private companies are simply powerless, and even CSSC will only enter the stage of substantial advancement of large-scale aquaculture projects after Jiagu joins them.

The breakthrough in the key technology of large-scale aquaculture ships is inseparable from a team like Professor Dong, who gathers experts in physical ocean, aquaculture facilities, marine engineering and other disciplines.

Professor Dong nodded frequently, with this thing, the deep-sea aquaculture project of the Yellow Sea cold water group is simply handy!

Just when Professor Dong was scratching his ears and cheeks with joy, Qi Zheng raised his voice slightly: "The most important thing is that, in my opinion, such a large-scale aquaculture ship, just like an offshore drilling platform, is an important weapon of the country and a 'mobile land'! It can be said that it no longer represents the significance of the development of the cold water mass in the Yellow Sea......

Professor Dong immediately put away his smile.

Homeland, no matter when, is always a serious topic.

I only listened to Qi Zheng's loud voice: "Whether it is a land territory or a maritime territory, existence is rights and interests! The development of large-scale aquaculture vessels means that we can carry out 'fishing and border operations' in China's territorial waters and realize the ...... of non-governmental maritime presence."

In recent years, not to mention their own territorial waters, that is, the high seas, many countries with geographical advantages have also incorporated the initial high seas into their own exclusive economic zones, limiting the development space of latecomers (such as China) in the distant-water fishery.

Only with a sense of existence can you belong, and it is hooligan, but this is the reality.

The large-scale aquaculture ship is like a mobile island far from the mainland. Just imagine, if we are in those sea areas where there are disputes and frictions, cruising our "sea aquaculture aircraft carriers" and hanging our aquaculture cages, isn't it the best embodiment of "fishing rights are sovereignty"?

Professor Dong was silent, he is an aquatic expert who can be an academician in the future, and he has a complete understanding of the strategic significance of large-scale aquaculture ships.

Immediately, he looked at the two types of large-scale breeding ship plans with different eyes.

We often say that "the combination of ploughing and warfare", and the 100,000-ton large-scale deep-sea aquaculture and processing ship can be described as a real combination of ploughing and warfare -- our country needs both advanced warships and advanced "ploughing ships".

What if there is not enough arable land on land? When the peasant people are full of scientific and technological trees, go to the open sea and deep sea to "grow" food, and play the idyllic song of the industrial era on the vast ocean, who can stop us from rising?

Qi Zheng also moved his eyes to Professor Dong: "I am ready to take the Yellow Sea cold water group development project as an opportunity to fill the gaps in a number of equipment for deep-sea aquaculture in China, and after accumulating experience, I will set up a fishing aircraft carrier fleet with a cruising large-scale aquaculture ship platform as the core, well, put a fleet in the South China Sea and a fleet in the East China Sea, and maybe I can go to the high seas......

Qi Zheng didn't say it very seriously, but Professor Dong had a feeling of excitement.

"So, Professor Dong, I officially invite you to join this program, are you confident?"

He didn't hesitate any longer, unconsciously held his head high, and nodded heavily.
