Chapter 150: Upgrading Equipment
It's more than twenty nautical miles from the coastline.
The Yuanxing 55 stopped, turned on the stabilizer and tested the stability of the fishing boat.
But today the wind is light, and the waves are small.
Now to test the stability of the fishing boat, it is of little reference.
On the rippling surface of the microwave, you can't feel the shaking on the boat.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng stood up and circled along the fishing boat.
"How do you feel?" Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng nodded: "It's quite spacious. It feels so much better than on the Shengyuan."
The foredeck of the Far Star is designed for relaxation, with a sundeck in front of the wheelhouse, which is padded for lounging on, and a canvas can be propped up for shade.
The entire circle around the fishing boat can be used as a fishing area, and there is a water pipe, which can be connected to the pumping machine to pump up the water to clean the catch.
The important thing is the space in the bow icefish cabin, which is quite large.
The functions that a fishing boat should have, this fishing boat has it all, or even does it better.
The staff of the yacht yard opened a few bottles of champagne, poured them, and invited Chen Yuan to come over for a drink, as well as various desserts.
After staying at sea for half an hour, during which there was a relatively large surge, the Yuanxing 55 was still as steady as an old dog.
Aside from the price, Chen Yuan couldn't find anything wrong.
……
The next day.
The bracket winch of the Shinkai was delivered.
Chen Yuan looked over and called Zhou Sheng: "Hey, where is it?"
"Fishing outside."
"With Chen Xin?"
"And my sister." Zhou Sheng said, "I've called you, but you won't come by yourself."
"Don't you think the space in the cabin of the Shengyuan is too small, especially the sleeping cabin? Do you want to remove the upper partition of the sleeping compartment?" Chen Yuan said.
"Don't. The space of this ship is already small, and the upper deck is a sleeping bunk, at least you can put something. Diving tanks like those don't have the upper berth, they're not worth putting anywhere."
"Okay. That's it, hang up." Chen Yuan hung up the phone as he spoke.
The shipyard is lifting a winch, which is a winch that pulls the braces of tuna purse seine nets, which weigh several tons. In the future, the bottom of the purse seine net can be dragged up with the power of the winch alone, and the boom assistance is no longer required.
However, the boom is also very important, and it will be used when picking up fish and shrinking the cage.
Good equipment can save a lot of time.
Xisha and Nansha are not particularly rich in fish. A few tons of fish can be caught in a net, which is not bad.
If you follow the previous net collection speed of the Xinhai, it will take more than ten hours to lower the net and collect the net, not counting the time when the fish are caught. In terms of the configuration of their fishing boats, they only catch one net a day, and if they don't find a large school of fish, they catch a few tons of fish in one net, unless they are valuable fish, otherwise they will lose money.
The Xinhai, the Lixia, plus a fishing boat.
At sea, the cost of a day is more than 30,000 yuan, almost 40,000 yuan.
It is worth going to sea for less than 20 days, and the total cost is 767,000. In addition, there are some other supplies for the food on the ship, which Lin Xinhai paid for alone.
Then there is the bonus to the boatmen, and this money is also paid by Lin Xinhai alone.
The Shinkai has been upgraded again, and in the future, if you encounter a slightly smaller school of fish, you can also get out of the net.
When you go out to sea, you can't put all your hopes on the big fish, but if you get the net down and close it quickly, you can catch smaller fish.
Wang Peng's shipyard has only three workers, one as a master and two as apprentices.
Waiting for the bracket machine to be put away, Chen Yuan got on the fishing boat: "Is there anything that needs help."
"Just install the machine, we have enough manpower." Wang Peng walked over as he spoke, and handed Chen Yuan a cigarette: "Why didn't you go out fishing?"
"I want to sleep in the morning, and I can't get up."
Lin Xinhai came over, and Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng's parents were also here, and they had to clean the fishing boat.
old
Far from having nothing to do, he also went to the Lixia to help Lin Xinhai overhaul and maintain the turbine.
"Luo Laosi's fishing boat went to sea again and went straight to Xisha." Lin Xinhai said.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"He brought a fish collector this time. Said that if the harvest is not good, please help you and Zhou Sheng to set up a bottom net, and you will share one-third of the catch." Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Just me and Zhou Sheng two dives, I'm too tired. If we don't find a school of pelagic fish, we will surround the bottom by ourselves, so that Zhou Sheng and I can get sixty percent. Unless he's willing to give us sixty percent, he won't have to."
Lin Xinhai smiled: "Our own fleet, you share sixty percent, and you also bear sixty percent of the fuel costs and expenses."
"That's better than just a third."
"I have a good relationship with Luo Laosi, I'll tell him to share half of the catch."
Chen Yuan thought for a few seconds: "Okay."
"After that, sink the purse seine net, and choose a water depth of no more than 100 meters. The previous water depth was more than 150 meters, and the danger factor was too high." Lin Xinhai said, "Then you and Zhou Sheng are underwater, and they must not be separated."
Bottom seine nets are particularly demanding for divers. It's also very dangerous......
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have good water nature, and if the two are together, Lin Xinhai is not worried. I'm afraid that the two of them will act separately under water.
"Yes." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I cost my life more than anyone else."
After a busy day in the shipyard, Zhou Sheng and they came back in the evening.
Chen Yuan was covered in oil and looked at Zhou Sheng and them, "How many fish have you caught?"
"A dozen, not big."
"Not enough for a meal in the evening."
"A meal in the evening is enough." Zhou Sheng fixed the fishing boat.
Chen Xin and the others walked over: "Have dinner at Sister Yue's place at night?"
"It's almost ready." Wang Peng shouted.
Chen Xin carried the fish and trotted to the shipyard's restaurant. Lin Xiaoyue was cooking dinner......
"Sister Yue, the fish you caught today, can you take a look at making fish soup?"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at it and said, "I didn't catch a big fish today."
"It's getting harder and harder to catch fish these days."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Yes. Now there are fishing boats everywhere. I heard that there are a lot of mud sharks in the wind power group in Nanpeng."
"Try it another day."
"Is the meal ready?" Chen Yuan walked in.
"Right now. Make another fish soup and you're ready to eat."
Chen Yuan went over to wash his hands and face, and came over to help set the table.
Chen Xin: They are still processing fish.
Wang Peng took a shower and brought two dozen beers from the freezer: "Drink."
"Drink whoa." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
When Zhou Sheng came to Chen Yuan's side, he collapsed on the stool, looking at Chen Yuan's expression, as if he had nothing to love.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Sheng leaned on Chen Yuan's shoulder as if he had no bones, which made Chen Yuan disgusting, and pushed him away: "My shoulder is also something you can lean on."
Zhou Sheng sighed, and he was not in the mood to quarrel with Chen Yuan.
"I'm tired of fishing." Wang Peng squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"You can't." Wang Peng laughed.
"You can't."
Lin Xiaoyue was busy on the kitchen counter, turned her head and said, "My husband is very powerful."
Lin Xinhai happened to come over, his old face was embarrassed, and he coughed a few times.
All of a sudden, there was laughter.
Chen Yuan also laughed and looked at Zhou Sheng: "You can't do it."
Zhou Sheng looked sad: "If I'm too good, I'm afraid you will beat me."
