Chapter 250: first whaling

   (Happy New Year's Eve everyone!)

Two days later, the fleet of Shuichi Minano and Dennis finally merged with Brandon and the others. The two sides hadn't seen each other for a year. After the meeting, they had a meal, chatted and farted. As for fishing, start tomorrow!

"Brother Nanye, you are really amazing. Now you have opened two seafood processing factories and your own fishing company. I'm envious!" During the chat, Brandon, Chelsea and others knew that this young man had turned into a fisherman. When you become a big boss, you will be envious. Although they are currently in high positions, they still work for the British Fishing Company. To put it bluntly, he is still a working man.

"It's just a small company, it's nothing." Minano Shuichi said modestly. In fact, what he said is also true. At present, it is really a small business, and it can hardly make any waves. At least in the eyes of those large fishing companies, it belongs to the existence of cats and dogs.

"Brother Nanye is really humble!"

"Don't say anything, I am very envious of Nanye-kun now. Every time he goes out to sea, a group of women accompany him. Thinking about it makes me envious!" Dennis said enviously looking at the other party. He went to sea with Dark Night Xiuyi. Of course he saw four women on his fishing boat. Just one more beautiful than the other!

"Hey...it's good to be your own boss, you can take it as you want! We are part-timers and don't take it. If it is discovered, it will be a very serious matter." Chelsea said enviously. Besides, those women didn't want to go out with them. He actually wanted to bring his girlfriend to work, but when his girlfriend heard that it would take six months and a year to go overseas, she wouldn't come at all.

The days of fishing at sea are lonely, there are no women, and there is no place for entertainment. Like Dennis, they basically rely on their hands for entertainment. Such days are really not lived by humans.

So Dennis was envious, jealous, and hateful when he heard that there were a few women around Minami, and even Chelsea wanted to discuss with Minami about borrowing a girl to use it, but Minano rolled his eyes and said: Get out!

Ami Inoue and Xuena Sakai are currently his own women. As for the twin sisters, they are also his employees. How could he force his employees?

"Cough cough... Just a joke, just a joke, don't be angry, Nanye-kun." Dennis smiled apologetically.

After changing the topic, a group of people continued to drink and blow water!

On the second day, the fishing finally started, and the oil and material supply ships and transport ships were here. Several of their fleets were fishing several hundred nautical miles nearby for two weeks. I'll let you know when it's time to change to another place.

What surprised Minano Shuichi the most was that the British Fisheries Company had three whaling fishing boats this time! One is 800 tons, and the other two are 1,000 tons, which is really rich. What surprised him most was that the British Fishing Company also rented a whale-worker ship. As the name suggests, whale workers are fishing boats used to process whales!

This is a tropical ocean, not too far from the equator but not too close.

There are 8 fishing boats in total, and he classified them into four fishing teams. He led the 1,000-ton whaling boat and a 500-ton trawler.

"Let's go, what is the radio connection." Minami Hideyoshi said to Ishida Yu and several others, each of them is currently in charge of a fishing boat!

"Yes, President."

Minamino Shuichi first set off with one of his whaling boats and a 500-ton trawler. His little follower is Miyashita Otaro. Now he has become a first mate.

In the tropical waters in winter, there are many fish, so you can directly use longline fishing such as tuna. He doesn't need to lead the entire fleet to fish. 8 large fishing boats operating together will reduce efficiency. Might as well let them be divided into several small teams to fish individually.

"The turbulence felt by a 1,000-ton fishing boat is small." Minano Shuichi said to himself while standing on the whaling fishing boat.

His whaling fishing boat has a tonnage of 1,000 tons and a top speed of about 20 knots.

Whaling boat is a kind of boat specially used for hunting whales. His whaling fishing boat is sharp and thin, and the speed of 20 knots belongs to a relatively high fishing boat.

It has a large main engine power, good slewing and maneuverability, a high head, a low tail, and good seakeeping.

There are whaling guns on the bow, stern and along the sides of the boat. This fishing boat is a relatively advanced fishing boat, so it is equipped with a whale detector. But there is no refrigerated warehouse, and general whaling fishing boats do not have refrigeration and processing equipment!

Whales caught by whaling fishing vessels will be transported to whaling vessels or bases for processing. But it's too far from land, so the British Fishing Company rented a whale-worker boat, which was really thoughtful!

The displacement of a general whaling fishing boat is about several hundred tons, the maximum speed can reach about 20 knots, and the self-sustaining power is 1-2 months. It can be divided into two categories: offshore ships and ocean-going ships. Offshore ships are generally tens to 300 gross tons; ocean-going ships are 500 to 800 gross tons. Because the swimming speed of large whales can reach more than 14 knots (26 kilometers per hour), the speed of the boat is generally not less than 14 knots, and the fastest is about 18 knots.

Minami Shuuichi is definitely one of the top whaling fishing boats at present. It turns well. Less noise. It can hunt and improve the hit rate of whaling guns in harsh weather conditions.

Single deck type. The deck is equipped with a whaling winch and paired bitts, and the bulwark has paired whale trolling holes for towing the catch. The cabin is located in the middle rear. The cab is located in the middle front. The front end of the cab is equipped with a mast, and there is a viewing platform on it, which is used for observing the movement of whales and commanding hunting. The bow is equipped with a whaling fort, which is equipped with a whaling gun with an effective range of 50 to 60 meters.

"Whaling fishing boats of this tonnage believe that as long as they encounter whales, they can definitely catch them." He is very confident in his fishing boat! Speaking of which, he was also fishing for whales for the first time so far, so I was a little excited to think about it.

There are still a lot of whales this year, and there is no cruelty. This world is a natural selection, and he thinks that if the number of whales decreases in the future, maybe he can still breed whales!

This may sound a bit far-fetched, but with the expansion of his fishing grounds, the idea of ​​his own strength becoming stronger is not impossible.

In general, whales have great commercial value. How many commodities can one whale produce? How many canned whales can a single whale produce?
