618.Sea Fist (8/10)

I can't stand it anymore.,For the time being, I'll change eight chapters first.,There are three of the ten chapters that I owe last week.,The other seven chapters can only be made up later.,It's really unbearable! ****

Last weekend, Qin Shiou and Hanks agreed to study whether to buy a seaplane or a speedboat in the fishing grounds this Monday.

There is no doubt that Hanks hopes that Qin Shiou can buy a speedboat, because St. John's Boston Offshore Heavy Industry can build ships, but cannot build airplanes, and sea planes have not gotten rid of the category of airplanes, and still belong to the aviation industry.

But whether it is a speedboat or a fishing boat, there is a difficult problem to solve, that is, the speed is too slow.

Qin Shiou didn't want to find the fish thief, so the boat set off slowly and leisurely, and it took a long day to find the fish thief.

Yes, if those ships are going to poach, there will be no big catch if they don't release their nets at sea for a day or two.

But if the reputation for high-quality catches in the Daqin fishing grounds spreads, will the pirate ships still need to stay at sea for a day or two as they used to? They just need to get off the net quickly, get a vote or two out in a few hours, and leave.

Qin Shiou's original plan was to equip four high-speed boats, and then place them in the four locations of the fishing ground, southeast, northwest, and when the time comes, use radar to locate them, and if they find that there are fish pirate boats in which direction, they can directly dispatch the high-speed boats in that direction.

But even so, the ship was not moving fast enough.

When Hanks listened to Qin Shiou's inquiry, he knew that his business was not good, but he was an excellent salesman after all, so he immediately changed his sales method: "Mr. Qin, you should know that the more nights and bad weather are. Fish pirates are becoming more rampant, right? ”

Qin Shiou nodded. Hanks continued: "Then you have to be careful, seaplanes can't travel at night. Nor can it fall to the surface of the sea in bad weather. So I would like to ask you, what do you do in this situation? ”

"But the speed of the speedboat is too slow, the speed of 70 kilometers is only 350 kilometers in five hours, and the seaplane can be done in only one hour!"

"We can't improve the speed, but we can optimize the configuration for you. You can use your main guns, we can install 4 more secondary guns for your ship, and the range can reach 120 meters. ”

"In addition, if you just install a turbojet engine on the speedboat to make a water cannon. That's a bit of a waste, we can transform your boat into a luxuriously decorated cruise ship, so that you can also sail to fish and surf, which is an advantage that seaplanes can't match. ”

Hanks explained one by one, and quickly sold his speedboat, Qin Shiou was really tempted when he heard it.

Seaplanes do have that problem, it is not convenient to take off and land on the water at night, and it is not convenient to take off and land on the water in bad weather.

"I'll look at your speedboats." Qin Shiou finally decided to buy a speedboat, he was not short of money after all.

Purchase of seaplanes. You only need one, and if you buy a speedboat, you need four speedboats to stay on the water surface of the fishing grounds. But this is very handsome, and there is a military ship on each side of the fishing ground. Absolutely mighty and domineering.

Hanks showed Qin Shiou the latest generation of Boston Offshore Heavy Industries' high-speed boat, the Pegasus-class, speedboat.

The vessel is powered by a fully immersion self-controlled twin-hydrofoil gas turbine and waterjet propulsion, with a hybrid hull and a slim V-shaped bow section. Contributes to good displacement sailing performance.

The stern of the boat is a short square tail profile, which, together with the spikes, minimizes high-speed drag when transitioning to winging.

Also, Hanks didn't brag. This is a luxury speedboat, the Pegasus-class speedboat has a hull of 24 meters long and 8.5 meters wide. With a draft of 3.2 meters and a displacement of 280 tons, it is divided into 5 watertight compartments, including 3 engine rooms at the stern, crew quarters, dining rooms and other living cabins.

The other two compartments are the fuel compartment in the middle and the cockpit at the head, and the fresh water reserve is placed in the double bilge, which can easily lower the ship's center of gravity and keep it stable in the wind and waves.

The main guns are installed directly in front of the deck, and can be operated in the wheelhouse as long as they are aimed at the target, and the four secondary guns are installed in the front and rear, left and right, ensuring that the ship can launch an attack at any angle.

The flow rate of the main gun is 3,200 cubic meters per hour, which can release more than 50 cubic meters of seawater per minute, and the flow rate of the secondary gun is 600 cubic meters, which can release 10 cubic meters per minute, taking water directly from the ocean, which greatly reduces the load capacity of the ship.

After showing Qin Shiou the Pegasus-class speedboats, Hanks introduced several more models to him, including some boats that their factories could not produce, so they could only be ordered from a large heavy factory in Boston, USA.

Qin Shiou finally chose the Pegasus-class speedboat, which is the fastest, using the hybrid power used only by active warships, and the speed can reach forty-five knots with only a few water cannons.

The purchase of four ships at a time can be discounted, the price is 3.8 million yuan, Qin Shiou made a deposit, and ordered four Pegasus-class high-speed boats, named 'Oriental Sea Fist', 'Western Sea Fist', 'Southern Sea Fist', 'Northern Sea Fist'.

After learning about Qin Shiou's generosity, the fishermen could only secretly say, where is this fishing owner, this is the monarch of a small country.

When Hanks received the check, he called the factory, and a transport ship came to haul the four fire trucks away and get ready to get to work.

Qin Shiou asked, "When is the fastest time I can see my ship?" ”

"If you only see the first boat, that's a week at most, we've got a ship, and what we're missing now is five water cannons," Hanks said. If you want to see all of them, then at least a month, because we only have two finished ships, and the other two ships need to be cut now. ”

Qin Shiou nodded, this speed is okay.

Since he spent so much money to buy a high-speed boat, Qin Shiou simply bought an airplane together, and he had to lease an airplane for future travel.

As a result, Qin Shiou silently closed the website of Montreal Sky City, what the hell, it's so expensive!

One of his most optimistic aircraft is the Gulfstream G650ER, which has a range of 7,500 nautical miles, or nearly 14,000 kilometers, at a cruising speed of Mach 0.85, nearly 1,000 kilometers higher than the G650 base model that was put into service two years ago, and is the only commercial aircraft in the world with a range of 7,500 nautical miles.

But the price of this plane is too expensive, it costs 74 million Canadian dollars!

Qin Shiou couldn't afford it, he still had more than 90 million yuan after buying the ship with the funds in his hand, but if he really bought this plane, it would really be a night back before liberation.

Don't think about it, Qin Shiou can't buy this plane now, because he only flies it a few times a year, but it costs hundreds of millions of yuan, and he has to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a day to maintain it, which is simply looking for abuse.

But except for the Gulfstream G650ER, Qin Shiou's other aircraft can't be seen, either because of the slow speed or short range, which is not suitable for his choice.

The local tyrant is so capricious, Qin Shiou bought this plane to be able to go home often to see it...... (To be continued......)
