On the sea, a ship the size of a giant city sails at a speed of more than 20 knots in the economic zone close to the waters of Japan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I said, Captain, if you chase it any more, you'll enter the waters of Japan." Lin Haiyang persuaded the captain Song Haiping again.

In addition to more than 100,000 robots (excluding manipulators) on industrial ships, carbon-based life only has the factory director Lin Haiyang, captain Song Haiping, and two cats raised by the two to catch mice and relieve boredom, among which the black cat is called Xiaobai, and the white cat is called Xiaohei......

The development of industrial ships is a new type of industrial and mining collective for the service of space colonization in the 22nd century, integrating collection, processing and manufacturing. The biggest role of industrial ships is to use industrial-grade nano-carbon fiber filters to collect more than 100 elements from seawater and seabed, and to manufacture (or print) industrial products with computer drawings - including industrial ships, of course.

The rarest thing for mankind is the construction of the first industrial ship, and when the first industrial ship is completed, the industrial ship will complete the self-replication at the rate of one per month - the standard displacement of each industrial ship is 76,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 180,000 tons.

Industrial ships use hydrogen fusion power stations as power, as a power source of hydrogen isotope deuterium in seawater, in the 21st century there are as many as 0.03 grams per liter of seawater, in the middle of the 22nd century after a large number of industrial ships are mined, each liter of seawater contains more than 0.02 grams, as for tritium seawater, although there is no it, it can be obtained by neutron bombardment of lithium - seawater contains a large amount of lithium.

Theoretically, as long as one person on the industrial ship is responsible for the switch, production can be carried out, but in order to keep the post on duty 24 hours a day, they are all in groups of three, and the other personnel on the ship Song Haiping and Lin Haiyang go to the shore to take a shift vacation -- this system ensures that the three people can play four months of paid vacation on land every year in addition to normal vacation.

Song Haiping didn't care where he went, pointed to the blue light in front of the ship that was still moving slowly, and said, "Sea monster, sea monster." If we catch it, the two of us will be famous. ”

Lin Haiyang looked at the ship's radar again: "The radar clearly shows that there is nothing in front of ......"

Song Haiping: "Since they are sea monsters, and they are sea monsters that no one has ever discovered in the 22nd century, what is so strange about having an anti-radar capability." ”

Lin Haiyang also saw it, and it would be endless if he didn't catch up with the captain: "Forget it, I turned off the submarine suction cup and took it back." so as not to cause economic disputes. ”

"I'll see what's useless to throw some, I'll have to catch up with the sea monster." Song Haiping checked the ship to see which one had the most reserves, and found that there were 40,000 tons of fresh water that was almost useless, and immediately opened the automatic gate and poured out 90 percent of the fresh water to speed up the ship.

The Zhonggong 072 industrial ship, which completed the operation, rode the wind and waves and accelerated into the blue light moving on the sea in front of it.

"I'll just say that the radar is not responding, it's not a sea monster." After hitting the blue light, the industrial ship did not react, and did not see any sea monsters enter the water, and Lan Guan disappeared after being chased by the ship.

Song Haiping checked the status of the ship: "Wait, the satellite signal is gone, and we are disconnected." ”

At this time, Lin Haiyang thought of a very terrible thing: "Then what should I do if the new TV series I chased at eight o'clock is gone......"

Song Haiping: "You say, is it possible that this sea monster is transparent, we got into the belly of the sea monster, and then the satellite signal was blocked by the sea monster's belly." ”

Lin Haiyang was furious, pointed to the sky and said, "Lang Lang Qiankun, where did the sea monster come from." If you didn't have to chase it, where did this come from? ”

Song Haiping: "If you want to open it, the god of fate will let you watch one less episode of TV, maybe he will send you a girl." ”

Song Haiping, who knew that he had done something wrong, began to change the topic and pointed to a place in the distance: "Look over there, there seems to be driftwood." ”

Lin Haiyang snorted: "In these years, there is driftwood, and there is no black tuna." ”

This sentence was probably heard by the sea god and the like, and a black tuna more than three meters long jumped and fell from the sea. Lin Haiyang and Song Haiping glanced at each other and said in unison: "Catch this fish and have a good year." ”

In the era of population growth at the end of the 20th century, seven of the world's top 10 well-known fishing grounds were closed in the following decades due to unplanned industrial fishing, as the destruction of the marine environment led to a sharp decline in the populations of some commercial fish. Among them is black tuna, which is known as beef in the sea. As a result, in the 21st century, eating sashimi and sushi with black tuna has become a face-saving thing in Japan.

In the 22nd century, the tuna is even more precious. Lin Haiyang and Song Haiping's annual salaries and subsidies are not enough to buy this big black tuna. Although Lin Haiyang and Song Haiping, one captain and one factory director, sound quite imposing, whether it is an industrial ship, a processing plant on it, and a manufactured product, they are all the property of the company -- the two are just employees of the company.

Naturally, there is no shortage of fishing equipment on the boat, and the two of them are summing up how to eat and sell this fish. Someone from the floating debris on the sea that the two men had seen had already run to the shogunate of Edo Castle on the shore to report: "There is a big iron ship approaching on the sea, and it is as big as a giant city, far more than a black ship dozens of times." But there was no black smoke coming out of the black ship of Miyi. ”

The report and the report are now in the shogunate of a new and an old two celebrities, the new name is Katsu Haizhou, just after the establishment of the year, after the founding of the United States fleet to the shogunate on a "coastal defense opinion", the above insights won a lot of shogunate in the old ministers like.

Among them is also the old man who is now listening to the report, the old man of the Tokugawa shogunate, Masahiro Abe. In terms of age, Masahiro Abe is actually not much older than Katsu Kaishu, but the position of the shogunate minister is the same as the position of the shogun, and it is also a family heirloom.

Before Masahiro Abe had stopped for a few days, after Miyi's fleet had signed and left, the other powers came to Japan to sign a large stack of unequal treaties with the shogunate - based on the principle of unanimity among the great powers.

Masahiro Abe, who has signed so many unequal treaties, also understands in his heart, and now that Japan is in turmoil, his position as the old man in the shogunate will be left with a superficial majesty, and he may be hacked to death if he goes out to drink flower wine one day. But can you blame Masahiro Abe for this, if you don't sign a contract to face Miyi's black ship cannon, it's a death, and if you sign a contract, it's just a late death.

The current shogunate, one day is one day, let's mess around. Listening to the report of Shenghaizhou, there is another huge ship, and it may be a huge ship covered with iron sheets. It was definitely a foreigner, and the current Masahiro Abe and Katsu Kaishu had also heard that the foreigners were now making battleships with iron armor wrapped in the hull to defend against naval guns.

There is a way that you don't have to worry if you have too many debts, and you don't bite if you have too many lice, and now Abe Masahiro is not afraid of signing a contract: "Come on, Katsu Haizhou, you go and see it in person, if you come to sign the contract, Xiyi will attract Edo." Don't be rude, let Yangyi have a chance. ”

Sheng Haizhou nodded: "Hi hi." With that, Katsukaishu slowly withdrew from the castle tower of the Edo Castle shogunate. Looking at the castle tower Katsu Kaishu, who was still majestic but completely unable to resist the naval guns, he felt sad in his heart, and couldn't help but think: Is Japan about to die?
