Zhang Baotang is in the village, the prestige is higher, he himself has seen the world, has been to Europe, to the United States, to the South Seas, just because he is a little older, back to fish for the elderly, after he stood up, soon others stood up, among them, under the guidance of Zhang Baotang, there are almost 45 households, together signed a loan agreement for the same boat, 1,200 yuan per family, a total of 54,000 yuan, for the purchase of a 1,250-ton ocean-going fishing boat.

This is probably the Northwest Bank to implement the loan to buy ships in history, the first individual to raise funds to buy an ocean-going freighter, this is a big thing, the loan officer of the Northwest Bank also attaches great importance to it, compared with ordinary trawl fishing boats, ocean-going fishing boats for fishermen will be better, after all, more than 1000 tons of ocean-going fishing vessels, in most of the operating procedures, and 1000 tons of destroyers are overlapping, almost more than 30% of the posts, can be directly replaced, 40% of the posts, After a little training, it can be replaced, and only 30% of the personnel that really need to be trained for a long time may remain, and among these 30% of the personnel, they can be replaced by some branches of the army, which can make a ship form combat effectiveness faster.

However, the experience of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, the common people are still more worried about loans, more than 800 tons of fishing boats, each of which is more than 40,000 yuan, this figure can not be called a small amount of money in the northwest, and it is no less than an astronomical amount in the poor, no fixed production ~ ∧ fishermen.

Soon the credit manager personally arrived here and guided Zhang Baotang and others to sign the contract, and the interest rate was reduced to the lowest. The credit limit of the individual has increased slightly, after weighing it. Zhang Baotang and others agreed to raise the loan to 1,700 yuan. Then the Northwest Bank provided a 1,800-ton distant-water fishing vessel at a more discounted price.

This ocean-going fishing boat is not far from the port, Shandong and Anhui, are the last two provinces to develop, with the previous experience, the fishermen after signing the agreement, will not wait for the fishing boat, in the fishermen's simple thoughts, signed the agreement. It's equivalent to giving money, giving money, you always have to give the goods, if you delay, will you be a liar.

Because of this, the loan officers of the Northwest Bank arrived in Shandong with more than 400 boats, including 32 distant-water fishing vessels. The largest is a large 1,800-ton ocean-going fishing vessel named Riyao that was purchased by Zhang Baotang and Zhang Baotang.

Under the guidance of the manager of the Northwest Bank. Zhang Baotang and representatives of several families, a group of more than 20 people, were taken to the dock at the wharf. Hundreds of ships are densely docked here, stacked on top of each other. It looks so immense, in one of the very gorgeous fishing boats. What appeared in their eyes was very beautiful, yes, very beautiful, with a slender figure, a mighty superstructure and a waterline, and there was even a smell of anti-rust paint on it.

This is a 1,800-ton ship, based on an 800-ton whaling ship, enlarged design, because the northwest provides a large number of basic materials, this is most of the fishing boats are made of relatively light materials, the hull is very large, and there is a small cold storage on it, which can store more than 30 tons of fish.

30 tons, this number, let everyone be shocked, are all from small boats, maybe a hundred pounds of fish per day, is enough for a family's livelihood, such days are not able to reach every day, a can go out to sea to catch 30 tons before using the return, this kind of thing, it is simply unimaginable, if it is an ordinary fish, the price per ton is as high as one or two hundred yuan, but if it is a high nutritional value, expensive small yellow croaker, grouper, lobster and sea crab, the price is higher.

China's coast, with 18,000 kilometers of coastline, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, affected by the warm and humid air flow of the Pacific Ocean, not only has the local more special small yellow croaker, hairtail, mackerel, mackerel, yellow croaker, in addition to the fish, there are some Pacific unique herring, pomfret, cod, etc., fish resources are very rich.

Zhang Baotang did not plan to start from a small boat from the very beginning, although 50 tons compared to the previous small windsurfing board, I don't know how much larger, the fishing volume must be very high, but compared with this professional ocean fishing boat, it is still far behind.

More than 20 people were led to the boat, more than 20 meters long hull, it seems particularly wide, more than 20 people are standing on the hull, do not feel crowded, on the side of the same from the Zhang family, and Zhang Baotang's nephew Zhang Qinglai, who is still not out of five suits, said excitedly: "Uncle Baotang, look at it, what a good boat!" ”

"It's good!" Zhang Baotang took a closer look back and forth, the materials of the hull were all used well, and it was very comfortable to the touch, better than the boats he had been on the ship closely.

The manager let them move freely on the boat, but they left, and after a while, they brought a person over, it was a young man, who looked a little heroic, and there was a sense of being a soldier, Zhang Baotang was thinking about it, the manager took the young man, and walked in front of Zhang Baotang, through Guò just observed, the manager saw that among such a group of people in 45 families, headed by Zhang Baotang, everyone thought he was the first to look forward, many things, no need to tell others, just talk to him.

"This is a sonar controller, called Hou Wensheng, you will all be on the same boat in the future, everyone will communicate!"

"Sonar? What? Zhang Baotang frowned, with a trace of doubt in his heart, among the people in the same village, a stranger suddenly appeared, and he also had the meaning of being a soldier, this is not a good thing, and he was thinking about how to refuse.

Unexpectedly, the manager didn't wait for him to finish, and said straight to the point: "Sonar is a good thing, you fishermen, what is the most important thing, isn't it to find fish?" ”

"Can he find out?" Zhang Baotang was stunned for a moment, from the manager's words, he suddenly saw something, this is simply a fairy means, the sea is vast, many fishermen rely on experience to get into the net, as for whether there is below, how many, this is not guaranteed, but the manager means this, isn't it just that you can see things below the seawater?

"Of course!" The manager nodded seriously and said, sonar is a recent thing installed on the ocean-going fishing boat, it was not standard before, or when it was in Ningbo, when the fishery company tested the ocean-going fishing boat, it was felt that the ocean-going fishing boat was powerful, and a local wealthy family in Ningbo said inadvertently, if there was something that could detect the bottom fish.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, the harvest of the fishing boat, related to the bank's efficiency, the sooner the loan is repaid, the greater the bank's income, the less financial pressure, this as a construction to report, Yang Yuanzhao has always been very concerned about the fishery, which is related to a year or two later, the expansion of the Chinese Navy, almost every few days will come to see, the development of this fishery promotion, this opinion has entered Yang Yuanzhao's field of vision.

For others, this seems to be a fantasy, like a miracle, but for Yang Yuanzhao, this is hardly a difficult thing, there are many things to explore the bottom of the sea, submarine radar, towed sonar, submarine imager, you can clearly see the things on the bottom of the sea, of course, this is too far away from the current status quo, but the northwest can still provide a thing, sonar.

The original sonar, as early as when Yang Yuanzhao went to Europe, has been copied, although it is only a semi-finished product, the accuracy is not high, but the problem of starting from scratch has been solved, and the next step is to develop it in depth, the original sonar because of the low precision, the shielding of the background sound is not particularly strong, in the environment in the pond, the effect is very good, but for the complex environment of the seabed, the effect is not good, very chaotic, not only for the personnel requirements are extremely high, the error rate is also quite high.

With the help of some electronic components, the accuracy is improved, so that the range of sonar work has increased from the original distance of more than ten meters to a depth of 50 meters, and the most important thing is that some physical shielding means can remove some background sounds on the seabed, the sound of waves, and other basic sounds, so as to form a relatively quiet environment, which can judge the seabed in a certain area, and even miniaturized sonar can be connected in parallel, set up with the hull under the sonar, 8 together to form a phase array, through guò sound changes and dynamic information, can be done to judge the active objects in a certain range of the seabed, the minimum range of this area is 12 meters, which has a huge detection ability for submarines, is an important invention to deal with submarines, put on civilian above, you can guide fishing.

Phase array sonar, because of the large size and large number, it is inconvenient to put it on small ships, and it can only be placed on ships of more than 1,000 tons, which is basically the same as destroyers, and there is no need to be smaller, ships less than 1,000 tons, even if they can be equipped with sonar, the anti-submarine effect is not very good.

Submarines in the First World War, has emerged, Germany is developing very well, the northwest with the help of relations with Germany, get a German submarine technology, the development is extremely rapid, there must be a spear and a shield, this sonar must be engaged, and for the fishing boat to install sonar, it is also a good thing to improve the production efficiency of fishing boats, as for the cost of this sonar, in principle, even more expensive than an ordinary 500-ton fishing boat, this money, of course, can not be borne by the fishermen, Yang Yuanzhao directly went to the military expenses to spend, by the way, From the army, mobilized a group of smart guys with good ears, after simple training, into the ship of more than 1000 tons, as a sonar officer, this young Hou Wensheng came to Shandong in this way, it was less than 2 days, there was a chance to work, the young man was also very excited.
