Six Hundred and Eighteenth. Sea Fist (Eight/Ten)

I can't take it anymore, so I will update eight chapters for the time being. There are three chapters out of the ten chapters owed last week. The other seven chapters can only be added later. I really can't bear it!

Last weekend, Qin Shiou and Hanks agreed to study whether the fishing ground should buy a seaplane or a speedboat this Monday.

There is no doubt that Hanks hopes that Qin Shiou can buy a speedboat, because St. Johns Boston Offshore Heavy Industries can build ships, but not aircraft. Sea aircraft are not out of the category of aircraft, and they still belong to the aviation industry.

However, whether it is a speedboat or a fishing boat, there is a difficult problem to solve, that is, the speed is too slow.

Qin Shiou didn't want the boat to set off slowly after discovering the fish thief, and it took a long time to find the fish thief boat.

Yes, if those boats are only coming to poach, it won't be a big gain if you don't release your nets at sea for a day or two.

But if the reputation of high-quality catches in the Daqin Fishing Ground spreads, will the fish pirates still need to stay at sea for a day or two as before? They just need to get off the net quickly and get one or two votes to leave within a few hours.

Qin Shiou's original plan was to equip four high-speed boats, and then place them in the four positions of the fishing ground, southeast, northwest, and then use radar to locate them. If there is a fish piracy boat in any direction, he can directly dispatch the high-speed boat in that direction.

But even so, the ship wasn't moving fast enough.

When Hanks heard Qin Shiou's question, he knew that his business was not easy to do, but he is an excellent salesman after all, so he immediately changed his sales method: "Mr. Qin, you should know that the more night and the weather Bad times. Fish thieves are rampant, right?"

Qin Shiou nodded. Hanks continued: "Then you have to be careful about one thing. The seaplane cannot travel at night. It also cannot land on the sea in bad weather. Then I want to ask you, what should you do in this situation? "

"But the speed of the speedboat is too slow. The speed of 70 kilometers is only 350 kilometers in five hours, while the seaplane can be done in one hour!"

"We can't improve the speed, but we can optimize the relevant configuration for you. You can use your main gun, and we can install 4 more secondary guns for your ship, with a range of up to 120 meters."

"In addition, if you just install a turbojet engine on a speedboat as a water cannon, that would be a waste. We can transform your boat into a luxuriously decorated cruise ship, so that you can usually go fishing and surfing, which is unmatched by seaplanes. The advantages."

Hanks explained one by one,

Quickly sold his speedboat, Qin Shiou was really tempted when he heard it later.

Seaplanes do have that problem. It is inconvenient to take off and land on water at night, and it is inconvenient to take off and land on water in bad weather.

"Let me see your speedboat." Qin Shiou finally decided to buy a speedboat. After all, he is not short of money.

Purchase a seaplane. Only one speedboat is needed, and if you buy a speedboat, you need four speedboats to be stationed on the water surface of the fishing ground. But this is very handsome, with a military ship lined up on each side of the fishing ground. Absolutely mighty and domineering.

Hanks showed Qin Shiou the latest generation of high-speed boats "Pegasus-class" from Boston Offshore Heavy Industries.

The power of this kind of boat is a fully submerged self-controlled double hydrofoil gas turbine and water jet propulsion. The hull adopts a mixed line style, and the bow is a sharp and thin V-shaped line. Contributes to good displacement sailing performance.

The stern of the ship is a short square tail line, together with the pointed bilge, it minimizes the high-speed resistance when the boat transitions to the wing navigation state.

Plus Hanks wasn't bragging. This is a luxury speedboat. The hull of the Pegasus-class speedboat is 24 meters long and 85 meters wide. The draft is 32 meters and the displacement is 280 tons. It is divided into 5 watertight compartments, of which there are 3 engine rooms at the rear; the crew cabin, dining room and other living cabins.

The other two compartments are the fuel tank in the middle and the cockpit at the head. The fresh water reserve is placed in the double bottom compartment, which can easily lower the center of gravity of the ship and keep it stable in wind and waves.

The main gun is installed directly in front of the deck, and all operations can be completed in the cab as long as it is aimed at the target. The four secondary guns are installed respectively at the front, rear, left, and right to ensure that the ship can attack from any angle.

The flow rate of the main gun is 3200 cubic meters per hour, which can release more than 50 cubic meters of seawater per minute. The flow rate of the secondary gun is 600 cubic meters, which can release 10 cubic meters per minute. It takes water directly from the ocean, greatly reducing the ship's load.

After showing Qin Shiou the Pegasus-class speedboat, Hanks introduced several models to him, including some boats that their factory could not produce, so they could only order them from a large heavy factory in Boston, USA as a middleman.

Qin Shiou finally chose the Pegasus-class speedboat. Its speed is the fastest. It adopts the hybrid power used by active warships. With only a few water cannons, the speed can reach 45 knots.

There is a discount for buying four ships at a time. The price is 3.8 million yuan. Qin Shiou placed a deposit with a pen and ordered four Pegasus-class high-speed boats, named "Oriental Haiquan", "Western Haiquan" and "Southern Haiquan". No.', 'Northern Sea Fist'.

After learning about Qin Shiou's generosity, the fishermen could only be dumbfounded secretly. This is not the owner of the fishing ground, but the monarch of a small country.

After Hanks received the check, he called the factory, and a transport ship came to take the four fire trucks away, ready to start work.

Qin Shiou asked: "When can I see my boat the soonest?"

Hanks said: "If you only see the first ship, it will take at least a week. We have a complete ship. What is missing now is to install five water cannons on the ship. If you want to see all of them, it will take at least a month, because We only have two completed ships, and the other two ships need to be cut and manufactured now."

Qin Shiou nodded, this speed is fine.

Since he spent so much money on the high-speed boat, Qin Shiou simply bought the plane as well, saving himself the need to rent the plane for future trips.

As a result, after looking at it, Qin Shiou silently closed the website of Montreal Aerospace City, what the hell, it's so expensive!

The aircraft he is most optimistic about is the Gulfstream g650er. This aircraft has a range of 7,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of Mach 085, which is close to 14,000 kilometers. The only commercial aircraft with a range of 7,500 nautical miles.

But the price of this plane is too expensive, it costs 74 million Canadian dollars!

It's not that Qin Shiou can't afford it. He still has more than 90 million yuan in his hand after buying the ship, but if he really buys this plane, he will be back to before liberation overnight.

Don't think too much, Qin Shiou can't buy this plane now, because he only takes it a few times a year, but it ends up costing hundreds of millions of RMB, and hundreds of thousands a day to maintain it, that's just looking for abuse.

But except for the Gulfstream G650er, Qin Shiou didn't like other aircraft, either because they were slow or had a short range, so they were not suitable for him.

Local tyrants are so self-willed. Qin Shiou bought this plane for the purpose of being able to go home and have a look often... (to be continued...)
