Chapter 172: Fisheries (I)
January 15, 26 (192 AD), Wuhan.
In the past year, China has continued to build on a large scale, and the whole country is like a big construction site, from the city to the countryside, from the northernmost Outer Mongolia to the southernmost Hainan Island, construction is being carried out everywhere.
It is precisely in this kind of frenzied construction with the participation of almost the whole people that in the short few years since the founding of New China, tremendous changes have taken place in the whole of China. The speed of the industrial and agricultural exhibition has stunned the world, and the European and American media have called it "Oriental Magic".
The length of the operating railway reaches -24o kilometers, of which all the lines and main branch lines (about 20,000 kilometers) are 26-meter broad gauge of Chinese standards, and the remaining railways that do not meet the national standard are being renovated. The number of cars owned reached 266, ranking first in the world. The total mileage of the highway is more than 80,000 kilometers, and this highway refers to the regular highway above the county level, that is, the asphalt pavement or cement pavement with a road width of more than 6 meters.
There have been 26 new or rebuilt large and medium-sized factories and mines, and last year (1911) the output of raw steel reached 3.46 million tons, ranking sixth in the world, second only to the five major powers of the United States, Germany, Britain, Russia and France, followed by China, Austria-Hungary's 260,000 tons, Belgium's 20,000 tons, and Japan's steel output of the wire powers was only 20,000 tons. Moreover, the steel output of Russia and France, which ranks ahead of China, is more than 3o, and this year it will be ironclad.
Although this achievement has surprised and incredible the vast majority of Chinese people, for Wen Desi, the steel output of only more than 30,000 tons a year is really not worth mentioning. He remembers that at the beginning of the 21st century, Tangshan alone produced hundreds of millions of tons of steel. More than 3o tons is the output of a steel mill, which is not too big a factory, like those guys who can be ranked, there is no one that is less than 30 million tons.
Raw coal production has soared the fastest, reaching 230,000 tons last year, ranking fourth in the world, but compared with the United States' 4.6 billion tons, the United Kingdom's 2B billion tons, Germany's 2-100 million tons, these top three production is still not enough.
The exhibition of the textile industry is also very scary, the number of cotton yarn spindles has reached 3o million spindles (the original time and space in the same period was 10,000 spindles), exploded Japan's 2.17 million spindles, India's 620,000 spindles, becoming the first in Asia, the fourth in the world, second only to the United States, Britain and Germany.
However, the strongest is the electricity, which reached 3o billion kilowatt hours last year, the first in the world, far ahead of the second place in the United States. This is also because China's previous industrial foundation was weak, unlike the European and American powers that had a large amount of steam engine power, so Wen Desi directly went to electricity.
"By the end of last year, the number of registered maritime merchant ships in China had exceeded 26 mark, and the total tonnage had exceeded 2o tons. Among them, there are 6 traditional sailing ships with a total of 260,000 tons and 5.53 million tons of motor sailboats. There are 227 ships, 1.84 million tons, more than half of the number of ships, most of which are made abroad, 16 liberation ships made in China, 55 oil tankers, 15 liquefied natural gas carriers, cryogenic liquid helium carriers... ̈ Gu Xiaolu reported.
"There are still too few ships, oil tankers and LNG ships are far from enough, and our demand for oil and gas has been increasing. Both ships must be significantly strengthened. There is also a shortage of other transport ships, and the shipyard needs to expand its staff significantly this year......" said after a moment's thought.
Because China's import and export goods far exceed the level of the same period in the original time and space, coupled with the fact that it is not bad for money, the shipping ships owned by China are also much higher than those of the same period. Compared with other powers, China's merchant ships have a great feature that the number of steamers is far greater than that of sailing ships, and the tonnage is relatively large, especially those self-made new merchant ships, the deadweight tonnage is not less than 1o6 tons. This is also the so-called rear advantage, there is no need to detour, just one step in place.
However, now Wen Deji has shown his own omission.
"By the way, Xiaolu, I think we are in shipbuilding, it seems that we are too far ahead......" Wen Deji looked at the report in his hand, a little speechless.
Gu Xiaolu asked curiously, "What do you say?" Mr. Wen ......
Wen Deji said helplessly: "I used to think that ships are the future, and I did this, so our new merchant ships did not have a sailboat. But now it seems that I despised such a thing as a sailboat. Now this world is not yet reached, unlike later generations where there are ports everywhere that can be refueled and coaled, especially our main Pacific route, except for the east and west ends, there are only a few supply ports in between. Our ships have to carry a lot of fuel to keep sailing. As a result, a large portion of the cargo capacity will be tied up by fuel, and the operational efficiency will be low. ”
"Another important point is that last year we consumed 1.15o tons of oil, while the self-produced oil was only 10,000 tons, which is less than a fraction of the consumption. Oil is needed everywhere now, and there are not enough tankers, so it must be spared. If you burn coal, it will affect the payload of the ship too much. ”
Wen Desi also felt very speechless, although the price of oil is cheap now, and his subordinates such as the Zenith Star and so on are very skilled, including all the great powers, and also control many oil fields, including Mexico, Venezuela, Indonesia and other oil fields, but due to the lack of capacity, even if you want to import more, there is no ship to transport it.
As for the domestic oil fields, the Yanchang Oilfield and the Yumen Oilfield have now been opened, with an annual output of 20,000 tons, as well as a few scattered small oil wells and some obvious oil shale mines, which are used to produce shale oil by the distillation method, which add up to 20,000 tons. As for the other oil fields, he does not plan to exploit them yet. If it weren't for the training of talents in his country's oil industry and the study of drilling and gathering technology, he would not even want to move Yanchang and Yumen. Otherwise, it will be extended by 2o tons in the future, and the output of 14o tons in Yumen will not be more than 20,000 tons anyway.
Because for the later generations, the view of the mining industry was completely different from the mainstream at this time, and he would rather spend money on imports of non-renewable resources such as oil than touch his own home. It's much cooler to use someone else's than to use your own.
Although he also promoted diesel trees in many areas, it took time for them to be promoted, and it took three to four years before they could start producing oil, most of which were planted last year, that is, at least in 1914. In the past few years, it is certainly impossible to count on, or there is a lack of fuel.
Gu Xiaolu thought for a while and asked, "So, Mr. Wen, do you mean to build sailboats?"
"Well, yes. But our sailboats don't have the traditional pure sail power, which is also very restrictive. We need hybrid sailboats, steel sailboats of large tonnage. ”
As he spoke, he clicked on the screen a few times, called up a picture of a sailing ship, and said: "You see, this is the Prussia that Germany is using now, this is a steel sailing ship with a carrying capacity of B1oo tons and a full load displacement of 1133 tons. And don't look at it as a sailboat, but it has a maximum voyage of 2. 6 knots, it is commonplace to run out of 13 or 4 knots, faster than our ordinary cargo ships. Of course, it is a pure sailboat, but it would be ideal if the motor was fitted as auxiliary power
"In addition, our fishing vessels also use hybrid power as much as possible, which can also reduce operating costs and increase the effective carrying capacity......"
Philippine Ocean.
Just as he mentioned the fishing boats, a large fleet of distant-water fishing vessels was operating in the area. The squadron of fishing boats flying the Chinese flag has a total of more than eight vessels. And it's clear that these fishing boats look like they're all new boats that have just been launched.
There are five main types of them, 2o ton rod and line fishing boats, 3o ton longline fishing boats, 6o ton trawlers, and 8o ton purse seine fishing boats.
The largest of the fleet are two fishery mother ships with a displacement of 86 tons, which not only have warehouses for freezing and cryogenic preservation, but also have processing plants, equipped with fish washing machines, fish fillet machines, cutting machines, peeling machines, meat harvesting machines, fishmeal machines and other fish processing and processing machinery, which can process the catch into fish fillets, fish segments, canned food, surimi, fishmeal and other finished products. At the same time, they are also tasked with supplying the fishing boats in the team.
This is a joint fleet composed of the First Fishery Joint Stock Company and the Second Fishery Joint Stock Company of Nanao County, Shantou City, Guangdong. This kind of fishery joint-stock company is also a new gadget that has only appeared for a few years, and it is the only business model in the world created by the government of the Socialist Party.
At present, New China is vigorously engaged in the "three rural revolutions", and all the primary industries are implementing the integration of villages and villages, carrying out scientific and intensive business models, and are transitioning to "industrial agriculture". In the past, cooperatives and agricultural companies were set up in rural areas where agriculture was the mainstay. Herdsmen, who mainly focus on animal husbandry, have also been organized into animal husbandry companies; In the case of a mountain village dominated by hunter-gatherers and a forestry company, a modern forestry and livestock industry was established.
The same is true for the fishing industry, and now various fishing villages in China have also implemented the merger of villages and set up fishing companies. Because the fishing industry is different from agriculture and is easier to operate intensively, the number of people in this type of fishing township is also relatively large, and the fishery joint-stock company is based on the township.
In the past, China's fishing industry was very backward, and the fishing boats and fishing gear used by the fishermen were so backward that they were speechless, and Wen Deji certainly could not tolerate this situation to continue. The current fishery joint-stock company has all been replaced with shotguns and new looks, the original small wrecked boats have been replaced with new modern fishing boats, all kinds of fishing gear have been replaced with advanced gadgets, and all kinds of modern things have been added. Of course, these things are not given for free, they are all purchased by the government with interest-free or low-interest loans.
A longline fishing boat with the number "Yueshan Yu 876" is collecting fish, and with the action of the winch, the fishing line is slowly dragged onto the deck.
"Good guy, a bluefin tuna looks at least 3o pounds"
"And ...... Also, this one is not less than 2o catties......"
The fishermen shouted happily.
"Hurry up, everyone, this time the fish compartment is almost full, and when it is ready, send it to the mother ship as soon ......as possible," Captain Zheng Xinsuo said happily.
He was a Xu min, a kind of untouchable in the Qing Dynasty, not to mention commanding such a "big ship", and even being restricted from going ashore. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government of the Socialist Party abolished the unequal policy of the Qing court towards the Xu people, arranged for the Xu people to settle ashore on a large scale, and gave them compulsory literacy, and all school-age children were sent to school.
Because almost all of Xu Min are engaged in fishing, at least half of the people in the current fishing company are former Xu Min. In addition, some Xu Min was absorbed into the navy and coast guard, and their lives were completely heaven and earth as before.
Although the captain of this fishing boat, Zheng Xinsuo, is not very old, he is also a veteran fisherman, and he is also well-known in the local area. After undergoing literacy and skills training, he was appointed captain of the fishing vessel because of his outstanding achievements.
This time, a total of seventy or eighty large fish were caught, at least 6 tons. Soon, "Yueshanyu 876" sailed to the mother ship and docked next to it. The boom is extended from the mother boat to transfer the catch from the fishing boat to the cold sea water storage of the mother ship. At the same time, the representatives of the two sides carried out the weighing acceptance, and the mother ship wrote a receipt and linked the receipt to the fishing boat, which is the basis for the fishing boat's operation volume and the basis for future money.
E: I'm sorry, the baby is making a lot of trouble today, this kid is always grabbing the computer with me, so it's more now, solid ......
In addition, it was the end of the month, and I asked for votes as usual, and I would like everybody......
