Chen Yuan and the others came over in advance and ordered a large table full of meat and seafood.

After waiting in the box for a while, Lin Xinhai and the others came over.

"Today I stained Zhou Sheng's light and made a small fortune." Chen Yuan pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Let's see what else you want to eat, and order more." ”

"That's enough." Lin Xinhai smiled and said, "If it's not enough, let's order more." ”

The waiter brought a few barrels of draft beer, Chen Yuan got up and took it, filled it for Lin Xinhai and Xu Lixia, and then returned to his seat: "Master, don't pour us wine today, everyone can eat and drink at will." ”

"Hahaha...... Good. Eat and drink casually...... "Lin Xinhai threw some mushrooms, razor clams, clams, prawns and crabs into the soup pot.

Lin Xinhai eats lightly, unlike Chen Yuan, it can be said that he is not spicy or happy.

Zhou Sheng raised the beer: "Let's touch one." ”

"Let's go."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a big sip.

"Master, when will you get the brand of the fishing boat back?" Chen Yuan said.

"In a few days." Lin Xinhai said: "What's the matter, in a hurry to go to sea?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "We are thinking about choosing a name for the fishing boat, and I think the Shengyuan is better." Zhou Sheng felt that the Yuansheng was more ......"

"Ascension and ascension, almost."

"I think his name should be at the top of the list, he's older than me, and he's a major shareholder." Zhou Sheng said.

"I'll ...... I'm older than you, and I'm 11 days older than you. ”

"11 days is older than me."

"Look at how I look, how tender I am." Chen Yuan said that he scalded a piece of fat beef, soaked it twice and ate it, and said, "It's as tender as this beef." ”

"You're going to disgust me......"

Everyone talked and laughed, and talked about where there are more fish. Let's talk about fishing in the past......

There are two large fishing ports in Jiangyang, and there are several large fishing ports in the surrounding area.

In the early years, the poor did not protect the marine resources, and the management of fishing vessels was particularly regulated...... All kinds of out-of-account nets. As a result, offshore resources are really close to extinction.

Now, the offshore resources are only gradually recovering.

It's hard to say where there are more fish in the offshore area.

However, within 100 nautical miles, there are only a few places suitable for sea fishing. The nearest places are near Peng Island, and some farther away are the sea areas of Sail Rock...... The Qizhou Islands are not particularly far away, and then there is the edge of the continental shelf, where there are some reefs. The edge of the continental shelf is open to the sea......

In general, there are fewer fish here. It's not comparable to the Chilean offshore fishing grounds......

Chen Yuan's previous fleet consisted mainly of fishing off the coast of Chile, with occasional trips to Antarctic waters to catch krill. In addition, after completing the task, you can try your luck in the South Pacific waters and catch those precious fish. For example, tuna, and some species of angling.

It's easy to fish near isolated islands in the South Pacific, or around reefs. Every time there is a very good catch......

But now it's different.

Chen Yuan is now the owner of the boat, and the boat is a second-class fishing boat with a limited range and high fuel consumption.

"How old was the fishing boat you used to be in?" Chen Xin asked.

"More than two hundred tons."

"Why is it only more than 200 tons?" Zhou Lan looked over and said, "My brother said, your fishing boat has more than 5,000 tons?" ”

"More than 5,000 tons, that's the mother ship." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Zhou Sheng also smiled.

"Can a fishing boat of more than 200 tons go to Chile?" Chen Xin felt that the fishing boat of more than 200 tons was too small.

Chen Yuan said: "There are more than 200 fishing boats, which are almost 36 meters long. Think about it, the height of a one-story building is about 3 meters, 36 meters...... If the fishing boat is erected, it will be at least the height of an eleven or twelve-story building, which is not small. ”

"Your fishing boat is so fuel-guzzling, can a distant-water fishing boat make money? Isn't the cost of fuel too high, and how to replenish it at sea? Chen Xin was particularly curious.

"Our previous fishing boat was about 400 horsepower." Chen Yuan said: "The speed of the fishing boat is not fast, and if it is going to sail far, the boat must go along the current. The speed of the fishing boat is estimated to be twelve or thirteen knots...... Speaking of which, it is not as high as my fishing boat. ”

Fuel consumption mainly depends on power.

The engine power of the engine equipped with distant-water fishing vessels is usually more than 300 kilowatts. If you go along the current, you don't need to drive the main engine to the maximum......

"It's a couple of years at sea, how do you get supplies?" Chen Xin asked: "Is it really a few years not to go ashore?" ”

The latter question, not only Chen Xin and them were curious, but Lin Xiaoyue was also curious.

Lin Xinhai rarely talks about ocean going on at home......

Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Xin and said, "Didn't you say it just now, there is a mother ship." The mother ship is also called the base ship, and we take the seafood caught by the small fishing boat and send it to the mother ship for processing, and then transport it back to China. In addition to having a mother ship, supply ships can also be contacted at sea, and supply ships can supply supplies and refuel. ”

It can be months, if not years, for distant-water fishing vessels to go to sea. It's definitely going to take so long......

Of course, there are also large, solo fishing boats. But there are very few such fishing boats. And the wages on the big ships are not as high as those on the small ones......

Therefore, Chen Yuan's fishing boat has 420 horsepower, which is really not small. Fuel consumption is also high......

"Doesn't that mean your fishing boat consumes more fuel than a distant-water fishing boat?" Chen Xin said.

"Hmm......" Chen Yuan 'um' for a few seconds, and said, "If the distant-water fishing boat is at full power, it must be that the fuel consumption of the distant-water fishing boat is higher, and it is much higher." The engine is not the same......"

Zhou Sheng shrugged with a smile and said, "It's hard to calculate...... However, in terms of use time, the average fuel consumption of our fishing boats must be higher for the same duration. ”

However, for a Class II fishing boat, with a maximum speed of 30 knots, the fuel consumption per hour is less than 90 liters, which is very good. This is also why other fishing boats of the same size and shape only cost six or seven hundred thousand yuan, while Chen Yuan's fishing boat is second-hand...... But another 1,610,000.

For example, I have seen a fishing boat of similar length before, with a length of 13.1 meters and a width of 2.85 meters...... Equipped with two 250 hp Honda engines, the top speed is 38 knots, and the price is only 650,000 yuan, a new boat, three types of fishing boats. The fuel consumption of that fishing boat, at full horsepower, is about 150 liters per hour, gasoline.

Lin Xinhai had complained to Chen Yuan before that their fishing boat was too slow.

Chen Yuan also wanted a high-speed fishing boat, but the cost of going to sea was too high to drive.

After eating a hot pot until dark, Lin Xinhai drank a little too much, and his face was red.

Chen Yuan drank two large barrels of draft beer, and he didn't feel anything other than his stomach was swollen.

After the end, Zhou Sheng didn't feel like he was enjoying it, and said to Chen Yuan: "Bar, continue drinking." ”

"Let's go."
