The old monster's squid fishing boat is called the Demon God.

This is certainly not an official registered name. But everybody likes to call it that.

As a standard 65-meter hull, standard 380 hp engine.

Now, that's all changed.

"Chief Engineer Wang, please. ”

"Please. ”

The group boarded the ship one after another to prepare for sea trials.

It's a mule or a horse, and it's time to pull it out and slip around.

As the designer and builder of the Rock 150, as well as the designer and builder of the four major pieces, Wang Buan also came up to the Demon God.

The dock began to fill slowly.

The Demon God gradually floated on the water.

It has a standard displacement of only about 910 tons and a full load displacement of 1020 tons.

In fact, in the standard hull announced by the Huaxia Shipbuilding Division, the standard displacement of the 65-ton squid fishing boat was close to 1,500 tons. But the Demon God didn't.

The main reason, so to speak, is cutting corners. It can also be said to be a cost saving.

For example, the steel plate is thinner and the equipment is less.

Originally, the double steel decks were required to be 20 mm thick. It turned out to be a 10 mm one.

As a result of a significant reduction in displacement, there is less power and lower fuel costs. Otherwise, if the standard displacement is 1,500 tons, the fuel cost will increase by more than 50%.

However, even with a displacement of only about 900 tons, the old monster was still very distressed about the cost of fuel and was determined to make a big change.

Now, after the transformation of the Demon God, what is the fuel cost?

You don't know until you've tried it yourself.

"Let's get started!"

"Good. ”

The old monster presses the start switch.

The ignition of the Panshi 150 was successful. The pointers of various meters are steadily rising.

300KW……

500KW……

The power delivery is very smooth.

The gearbox didn't make weird sounds. The explanation is no problem for the time being.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

Fierce waves swell in the stern.

But the propeller, which is 4 meters in diameter, began to rotate slowly, stirring the sea water very violently.

For propellers, a diameter of 2 meters and a diameter of 4 meters are completely different concepts. The water resistance they encounter, as well as the thrust they generate, are not of the same level.

Sure enough, as soon as the propeller began to spin, the Demon God felt a clear forward rush, and everyone couldn't help but lean back.

Undoubtedly, this is the result of violent reform. The power is so strong that it is overloaded.

Takeshi Mihara, Wang Bu'an and others were all in the stern.

What they are most worried about is that there is a problem with the propeller.

If the propeller is not a major problem, the other parts should not be a problem.

"Open the gates. ”

"Open the gates. ”

The dock slowly opened.

The churning sea water outside kept pouring in.

The layers of waves continued to lap on the body of the Demon God, causing the Demon God to tremble slightly.

Apparently, the dynamic balance of the ship was broken.

The four-meter-diameter propeller is the culprit. Fortunately, it has not been unbalanced to the point of capsizing.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

The old monster and Wang Bu'an confirmed their eyes.

The Demon God slowly sailed towards the sea outside, leaving a long white wave behind its tail.

Inside the engine compartment, the Rock 150 runs stably.

The propeller also starts to spin quickly. The rotational speed is constantly increasing.

Gradually, the squid fishing boat was like a wild horse on the loose, and it quickly sailed towards the ocean outside.

Behind the stern, the propellers began to make a dull sound.

Obviously, such a collocation is unscientific.

If you want to match scientifically, you must redesign the hull and rematch the propeller.

That would be the same as building a new ship.

The speed is constantly increasing.

8 knots......

11 knots......

14 knots......

Section 17

Soon, the speed exceeded 18 knots.

This is the maximum speed of an ordinary fishing boat. This corresponds to 33 kilometers per hour.

Fishing boats will only turn on full speed when they are in danger or need to quickly go to a certain place for rescue. And time can't last long. Otherwise, the engine will not be able to withstand it.

If there is no need for 120,000 points, the fishing boat will maintain an economic speed of about 10-15 knots.

The fishing boats of the side are overtaken consecutively.

A ......

Two ......

Three ......

Seeing that the ship was overtaking, the Demon God easily threw off the other party.

"Old youkai, what are you doing so fast?" someone inside the communicator shouted.

"Old monster, you're crazy with too much money. Are you going to burn money?" someone then shouted, "You run so fast, the fuel consumption will increase a lot." ”

Most fishing vessels use public communication frequencies.

That is, if someone on one ship speaks, many other ships can hear it.

The other ships noticed that the speed of the Demon God was getting faster and faster, and of course they were very curious. They all called out to the old monster through the common frequency.

Of course, the old monster knows what is going on.

Indeed, as the speed increases, the fuel consumption will increase dramatically.

The 65-meter squid fishing boat has an economic speed of about 11 knots. If it is more than 18 knots, the fuel consumption will almost double.

If it is raised to more than 25 knots, the fuel consumption will almost triple. Up to 300%.

In fact, almost no fishing boat is capable of running at a high speed of 25 knots.

Even if there is such an ability, it is estimated that no one will try it easily.

It's all about getting along with your wallet.

The cost of fuel is already high, and if you sail at full speed, the cost is even higher.

However, the old monster at this moment is completely unburdened. The fuel consumption he calculated was still about 20 liters per hour.

The Panshi 150 engine is mainly fueled by hydrogen. The change in power also adjusts the supply of hydrogen. Diesel fuel is used as an accelerant. Therefore, no matter how the power changes, the fuel consumption will not change much. It's true that you run 11 knots, it's the same when you run 18 knots, it's the same when you run 25 knots.

The old monster slowly increased the power supply and continued to push the speed higher.

21 knots......

24 knots......

The speed gradually increased to more than 25 knots.

At this time, near the squid fishing boat, two large fishing boats of 1,000 tons appeared. One is the Thunderbolt and the other is the Thunderbolt.

The Thunderbolt is a purpose-built large fishing vessel with a displacement of about 1,600 tons and a top speed of more than 22 knots. Due to its high speed, large tonnage, large freezer and many equipment, it often acts as a fishing mother ship. Its owner, nicknamed Lei Zhenzi. In the team of fishing boats that run deep-sea fishing, he is also regarded as the No. 1 well-known person.

"Old youkai, are you crazy?" a hoarse voice came from the communicator.

"Old Lei, I'm experimenting with a new engine!" replied the old monster triumphantly, "I'll open your eyes!"

"What engine?"

"The maximum power is 2200 kilowatts. ”

"What?"

Lei Zhenzi was visibly surprised.

Power 2200 kW?

That's 3000 horsepower?

Such a lot of power to propel a fishing boat with only 900 tons?

Is there any mistake......

Don't you want to waste it......

After a while, Lei Zhenzi said in disbelief, "Old monster, aren't you afraid that your Demon God will fall apart?"

"Don't be afraid! I've had a major makeover! The gearbox has been replaced!"

"You pull full speed and see!"

Lei Zhenzi immediately became interested.

In other words, staying at sea all year round is also very boring.

If there's something interesting and it doesn't cost anything, they'll be more than happy to do it.

For example, instigating the old monster to run at full speed or something. Anyway, it's the old monster's wallet that burns.

"Old monster, you pull a 30-knot look, I'll invite you to drink!"

"I'll invite you to drink too!"

Another person's loud voice could be heard from inside the communicator.

This man is the captain of the Thunderbolt. Nicknamed Thunderbolt Cheng Kun.

In fact, his name is Cheng Yaoan. It's just that the appearance is ferocious, giving people a very vicious feeling.

If you live a mixed life at sea, it's better to be fierce at all times. You know, the crew is all men. There are no women. It's easy to contradict each other.

Published news reports say that crew members have killed each other. There are countless people who fight behind their backs and drink heavily.

If the captain of the ship has no skills, how can he control the crew?

The Thunderbolt is also a large fishing vessel with a displacement of more than 1,600 tons, and it is also well-known among the fishing boats in Westlake Province.

The Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt often work together to fish in the South Pacific and the western Indian Ocean. They're not just squid fishing boats. They have a lot of equipment installed on them, they can fish for squid, they can trawl nets, they can catch shrimp, so it can be said that they are very comprehensive fishing boats. Every time it was dispatched, it was a mighty fleet of dozens of ships and hundreds of people.

The place they frequent, is off the coast of Africa. There are almost no navies in Africa. The danger is low.

Of course, there are pirates. However, there is a naval escort, not afraid.

In front of Lei Zhenzi and Thunderbolt, the old monster is actually a veritable junior. All are legendary characters.

If you want to say that they have any characteristics, it is that their appearance is not very ordinary. are more fierce.

Wang Bu'an suddenly thought of Han Xuewei.

A delicate woman who actually wants to go to sea?

Unless it's to equip her with two guard squads, don't think about it. When you get on the boat, you are definitely a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

However, the guard squad is not safe!

The guard squad is also male. What if the guards steal themselves?

"Thirty is thirty. The old monster said arrogantly, "When the time comes, don't use the fragrance of rice flowers against me!"

"Absolutely not! At least it's Moutai Feitian!" "The Thunderbolt is also very bold.

Anyway, it's a rhetoric, and there is no need to be responsible.
