Chapter 172 Fishing (1)

On 15th of the 26th year (192 AD), Wuhan.

In the past year, China was still under construction in large quantities. The whole country was like a large construction site, from cities to villages, from the northernmost Outer Mongolia to the southernmost Hainan Island, construction was carried out everywhere.

It is in this crazy construction with almost the whole people participating, in just a few years when the founding of the People's Republic of China, the entire China has undergone great changes. The rapid development of industry and agriculture has shocked the world, which European and American media called it "Oriental Magic".

The operating railway length reaches -240 kilometers, of which all the lines and main branches (about 20,000 to 0,000 kilometers) are 26 meters wide rails of China standard. The remaining railways that are not in line with the national standard are under renovation. The number of cars owned by 26,000 vehicles, ranking first in the world. The total mileage of highways exceeds 80,000 kilometers. This highway refers to regular highways at the county level or above, that is, asphalt pavement or cement pavement with a pavement width of more than 6 meters.

More than 26 large and medium-sized factories and mines were newly built or renovated. Last year (191), the raw steel output 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. Behind China are the Austro-Hungarian Empire 260,000 tons, Belgium 20,000 tonnes, while the steel output of Japan's pendant power is only 20,000 tons. Moreover, Russia and France, which are ranked ahead of China, both steel output are more than 300,000, which is definitely surpassed this year.

Although this achievement has surprised and incredible to most Chinese people, for Wen Desi, the steel output of only more than 300,000 tons a year is really not worth mentioning. He remembered that in the early 21st century, the steel output of Tangshan alone was hundreds of millions of tons. More than 300,000 tons was the output of a steel mill. This is not a big factory. For those guys who can rank in size, there is no one with less than 30 million tons.

Raw coal production soared the fastest, reaching 230,000 tons last year, ranking fourth in the world. However, compared with the 4.6 billion tons in the United States, 2B million tons in the United Kingdom, and 200 million tons in Germany, the output of these top three is still not enough.

The development of the textile industry is also very scary. The number of cotton spindles reached 300,000 (original time and space were 10,000 spindles in the same period), which outweighed Japan's 2.17 million spindles and India's 620,000 spindles, becoming the first in Asia and the fourth in the world, second only to the United States, Britain and Germany.

However, the strongest one is the power generation, which reached 3 billion kilowatt-hours last year, which is definitely the world's number one, far ahead of the second-ranked B100 million kilowatt-hours 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 the power.

"As of the end of last year, the number of registered commercial ships in my country's sea transport exceeded 26 mark, and the total tonnage exceeded 200,000 tons. Among them, there are 6 traditional sailing ships, totaling 260,000 tons, and 5.53 million tons of sailing ships. 227 ships and 1.84 million tons, and more than half of the ships, most of which are made abroad. my country's self-made Liberation Ship has 16, 55 oil tankers, 15 liquefied natural gas ships, and low-temperature liquid helium transport ships...¨" Gu Xiaoluhui reported.

"There are still too few ships. Oil tankers and liquefied natural gas ships are far from enough. Our demand for oil and natural gas has been increasing. These two ships must be vigorously strengthened. Other transport ships are also in short supply. This year, the shipyards need to vigorously expand their personnel..." Wen Desi said after thinking about it.

Because China's import and export cargo on this plane far exceeds the same period of the original time and space, and with no shortage of money, China's shipping ships also have much higher than those of the same period. Compared with other great powers, China's merchant ships have a big feature that the number of ships far exceeds that of sailboats and the tonnage is relatively large, especially those homemade new merchant ships, which have no dip-to-load tonnage below 106 tons. This is the so-called latecomer advantage, and there is no need to take a detour and get it right in one step.

However, Wen Desi now discovered his own omissions.

"By the way, Xiaolu, I think we are too advanced on the shipbuilding..." Wen Desi looked at the report in his hand, speechless.

Gu Xiaolu asked curiously: "What do you mean by this? Mr. Wen..."

Wen Desi said helplessly: "I used to think that ships were the future and did the same, so there was no sailboat in our newly built merchant ships. But now it seems that I despise something like sailboat. The world is not yet developed, unlike later generations where there are ports that can refuel and replenish coal, and replenish supplies, especially our main Pacific route. In addition to the east and west ends, there are only a few supply ports in the middle. Our ships must carry a large amount of fuel to ensure normal navigation. In this way, a large part of the cargo capacity will be occupied by fuel and the operational efficiency will be very low."

"There is another important point. Last year, we consumed 11.5 million tons of oil, while the self-produced oil was only 10,000 tons, which was less than a fraction of the consumption. Now we need oil everywhere, and the number of oil tankers is not enough, so we must save money. Burning coal will affect the payload of the ship too much."

Wen Desi was also speechless. Although the oil price is cheap now, and his subordinates are skilled in many ways, including all the great powers' vest companies, and they also control many oil fields, including Mexico, Venezuela, Indonesia and other oil fields, due to insufficient transportation capacity, even if they want to import more points, there is no ship to transport them.

As for domestic oil fields, Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield have been developed, with an annual output of 20,000 tons, as well as several scattered small oil wells and some obvious oil shale mines. The shale oil produced by distillation method is used, which totals 20,000 tons. As for other oil fields, Wen Desi does not plan to mine it. If it weren't for cultivating domestic oil industry talents and studying drilling and collection technology, he would not even want to move Yanchang and Yumen. Otherwise, the output of 200,000 tons in the future will be extended to 1.4 million tons in Yumen, and it will be more than 20,000 tons in any case.

Because for Wen Desi, who came from later generations, his views on the mining industry were completely different from the mainstream at this time. He would rather spend money to import non-renewable resources like oil than to use his own. It would be much more enjoyable to use others than use his own.

Although Wendesi also promoted diesel trees in many areas, it took time to promote this thing, and it would take three to four years to grow before oil production was started. Most of them were planted last year, which means that it would take at least 1914 to start producing large amounts of oil. There will definitely be no hope for these years, and there is still a lack of fuel.

Gu Xiaolu thought for a while and asked, "So, Mr. Wen, do you mean to build a sailboat?"

"Well, yes. But our sailing boats don't have traditional pure sailing power, which is also very limited. We need hybrid sailing boats, and large-tonnage steel sailing boats."

As he said that, he clicked a few times on the screen, called out a picture of a sailboat, and said, "Look, this is the Prussian that Germany is now using. It is a steel sailboat with a load capacity of B100 tons and a full load displacement of 1133 tons. And although it is a sailboat, its maximum speed can reach 2.6 knots. It is common to run thirteen and fourteen knots, which is faster than our ordinary cargo ships. Of course, it is a pure sailboat, but if it is equipped with an engine as an auxiliary power, it is ideal.

"In addition, our fishing boats also try to use hybrid power as much as possible, which can also reduce operating costs and increase effective carrying capacity..."

Philippine sea.

Just when Wen Desi mentioned the fishing boat, a huge fleet of ocean-going fishing boats was operating in this sea area. The fishing boats were flying the Chinese flag, with a total of more than 8 ships. It was obvious that these fishing boats were all new ships that had just been launched.

Their models are mainly divided into five types: 20-ton rod fishing boats, 30-ton longline fishing boats, 60-ton trawlers, and 80-ton seine fishing boats.

The largest fishing mother ships in the formation are two 86 tons of fishing boats. They not only have freezing and low-temperature preservation warehouses, but also have processing plants, which are equipped with a variety of fish processing and processing machinery such as fish washing machines, fish fillers, cutters, peeling machines, meat pickers, fish meal machines, etc. They can process the catch into fish fillets, fish segments, canned food, fish paste, fish meal and other finished products. At the same time, they are also responsible for providing supplies to the fishing boats in the team.

This is a joint fleet composed of the First Fisheries Co., Ltd. and the Second Fisheries Co., Ltd. in Nan'ao County, Shantou City, Guangdong Province. This fishery joint-stock company has only appeared in a few years. This is a business model developed by the Science and Technology Socialist Party Government, and it is the only one in the world.

Now the New China is carrying out the "Three Rural Revolutions". All the primary industries are promoting the merger of villages and villages, carrying out scientific and intensive business models, and are transitioning to "industrial agriculture". In the past, rural areas where agriculture was mainly engaged in agriculture, they have set up cooperatives and established agricultural companies; herders who mainly livestock are also combined into animal husbandry companies; while mountain villages that mainly hunting and gathering have established forestry companies to develop towards modern forestry and breeding.

The same is true for fisheries. Now all fishing villages in China have implemented the integration of villages and established fishery companies. Because fishery is different from agriculture and is easier to operate in an intensive manner, there are also many people in this kind of fishery township, and fishery joint-stock companies are based on townships.

In the past, China's fishery was very backward, and the fishing boats and gear used by fishers were speechless. Wen Desi certainly could not tolerate this situation and continue. Nowadays, all fishing companies have replaced the cannons with a new and modern fishing boat. Various fishing gears have also been replaced with advanced things, and various modern things have been added. Of course, these things are not for nothing, but are purchased by the government with interest-free or low-interest loans.

A longline fishing boat with the hull number "Yueshan Yu 876" is collecting fish. As the winch moves, the fishing rope is slowly dragged onto the deck.

"Good guy, a bluefin tuna looks at least 30 kilograms"

"And...and, this one is less than 20 kilograms..."

The fishermen shouted happily.

"Everyone, hurry up, you'll almost fill the fish cabin. After you're done, you'll quickly send it to the mother ship..." Captain Zheng Xinsuo said happily.

He was a Xu people. In the Qing Dynasty, he was a kind of untouchables. Not to mention commanding such a "big ship", even the landing was restricted. After the founding of New China, the Party Government of Science and Technology Social Sciences abolished the Qing court's unequal policy towards the people of Xu people, and arranged for the Xu people to settle ashore on a large scale, and forced literacy for them, and all children of appropriate age were sent to schools.

Because almost all Xu people are engaged in fishing, at least half of the people in the current fishing companies are Xu people from the past. In addition, some Xu people have been absorbed into the navy and coast guards, and their lives are completely in heaven and earth as before.

Although Captain Zheng Xinsuo of this fishing boat is not very old, he is also an old fisherman and is quite famous in the local area. After literacy and skills training, he was appointed as the captain of this fishing boat due to his outstanding grades.

This time, a total of seventy or eighty large fish were caught, at least 6 tons. Soon, "Yueshan Fishing 876" sailed towards the mother ship and docked next to it. The mother ship extended a boom and transferred the fishing catch from the fishing boat to the mother ship's cold sea water preservation warehouse. At the same time, representatives from both sides conducted a pound acceptance. The mother ship wrote a receipt and sent the receipt to the fishing boat. This is the basis for the operation of the fishing boat and the basis for future payment.
