Chapter 140 Upgrading the Hull

Chapter 140 Upgrading the Hull

It would be very difficult for children from ordinary families to buy a house on their own without the help of family members.

It has only been more than a year since Chen Hao graduated from college. Even if he didn't eat or drink and worked hard...it would be impossible to save much money in more than a year.

After all, he is his own brother, so if he can help, he will do so.

For Chen Yuan, hundreds of thousands is not a big deal.

Moreover, Chen Hao took this money to get married, which is the top priority in his life.

Chen Yuan drove past a sugar water shop: "Would you like some sugar water?"

Yan Xiaoxi shook his head: "I just ate. If I don't eat, I will gain weight if I eat any more."

"Being fatter will make you look better," Chen Yuan said.

"I also think Xiao Xi will look better if she gets a little fatter." He Huan said with a smile, "Xiao Xi has a good figure. If she gets a little fatter, maybe she can reach D."

"younger brother?"

"ABCD...D." He Huan said with a smile.

Chen Yuan glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, D?

Yan Xiaoxi’s is already big, but there’s no D yet?

Don't understand, curious.

Yan Xiaoxi sent Chen Yuan a peek, her cheeks were bulging, and she said, "Where can we go to play now when we go back?"

"Today's tide is low, let's go to the sea." Chen Yuan said.

"Okay." He Huan said.

"Where to catch up?"

"Pengdao."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Sheng called: "Hello?"

"Where?"

"Go home."

"Come to the shipyard."

"What are you doing?"

"Come here." Zhou Sheng said, "We have business."

Chen Yuan hung up the phone and said, "Zhou Sheng asked me to come over."

"Yeah." Yan Xiaoxi nodded.

Chen Yuan turned the car around and came to the shipyard.

Zhou Sheng, Chen Hao, Wang Peng, and Lin Xinhai are all here.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan said as he got out of the car.

"Master's fishing boat has been upgraded, and there is also the Yuanxing 55. The Yuanxing 55 travels on the high seas, is it okay?" Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Yuan said: "It's not a big problem when traveling on the high seas, but the fiberglass hull cannot withstand sea conditions."

"I won't go to the high seas for the time being." Lin Xinhai said: "I heard from Zhou Sheng that your boat is made of fiberglass. How about 8.9 million to buy a fiberglass?"

"High-strength fiberglass." Chen Yuan said.

"High-strength fiberglass is also fiberglass. Why not buy an aluminum alloy one?"

"There is no ready-made aluminum alloy hull for the Yuanxing 55. It needs to be customized." Chen Yuandao: "And the aluminum alloy hull is expensive."

"8.9 million, it's not aluminum alloy. This is a bit luxurious." Lin Xinhai said: "For long-term considerations, I think you should upgrade to a high-strength aluminum alloy hull. Spend more now to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

It’s a waste of money.”

"Can the high-strength aluminum alloy hull cope with level 6 sea conditions?" Chen Yuan said.

"In the future, I will definitely buy a big ship, preferably a high-strength aluminum alloy hull, so that I don't have to buy a special auxiliary ship. You spent so much money, but you chose a hull of about 16 meters. You should also consider it for the future.

." Lin Xinhai said: "The big money has been spent, so don't hesitate to spend a few small ones."

"What are you considering?" Chen Xin asked.

Chen Xin felt that it was not worth it for Chen Yuan and the others to spend so much money to buy a 16-meter boat.

I saw a 20-meter-long boat online before, and the price was just over 7 million. That boat was so beautiful.

At 16 meters, it feels a bit small. Compared with the current Shengyuan, it is only 3 meters longer.

Even though the Yuanxing 55 is only 3 meters longer than the Shengyuan, the upper space area of ​​the hull is almost 20 square meters larger.

There is a crest on the Shengyuan, which is designed to be too long.

Facing Chen Xin's doubts, Zhou Sheng said: "The fishing boat's boom can lift the small boat and put it on the big ship." Ocean-going fishing boats are basically equipped with small boats with high-strength hulls, and these small boats are lowered after arriving in the target sea area.

boat, go out to find fish.

Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng: "What do you think?"

"I..." Zhou Sheng said: "Of course I prefer aluminum alloy hulls."

"Can it be changed?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Yes. I called and asked. The aluminum alloy hull can be replaced, but it will take time and the cost is estimated to be 1.8 million more. It will be delivered by the end of December at the earliest."

"If it is an aluminum alloy hull, the hull structure needs to be strengthened to maintain the current fuel tank capacity." Chen Yuandao: "With three engines and 7,000 liters of fuel, if the hull is not a high-strength hull, it will easily deform over time. Especially when going to the high seas.

, the requirements for aluminum alloy hulls are higher. It’s only 1.8 million more, so it can’t be done.”

When I was in the ocean-going fleet, there were two small boats on the mothership that were specially used to go out to find fish. One was 15 meters long and the other was 12 meters long. Both boats had reinforced hulls and the thickness of the aluminum alloy material was also high.

I heard from the captain that the 15-meter high-speed boat cost 8.1 million.

The aluminum alloy shell of the reinforced hull can carry more fuel...

If the Yuanxing 55 has an aluminum alloy hull, it is estimated that it can only carry 2,000 liters of diesel fuel with the same size and structural strength, and an additional 1,500 liters in the reserve tank, for a total of only 3,500 liters.

It's not a matter of lack of space, it's that the fiberglass hull will not deform.

But because of these characteristics, if a collision occurs, the fiberglass hull is prone to holes. The aluminum alloy hull is just dented...

Aluminum alloy and fiberglass each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

With the same size and structural strength, the weight of an aluminum alloy boat is only about half that of a fiberglass boat. The lighter weight makes an aluminum alloy boat more fuel-efficient than a fiberglass boat.

In terms of maneuverability and stability, aluminum alloy hulls are relatively excellent in maneuverability and maneuverability due to their lighter weight. On the contrary, fiberglass hulls are heavier in weight and have better sea resistance, so they are relatively stable in poor wave conditions.

More stable.

Finally, there is the issue of price.

Aluminum alloy is expensive. And in order to pursue profits, shipyards quote extremely high prices for aluminum alloy hulls.

Yuanxing 55 pursues extreme speed. In order to have excellent water cutting performance, the angle of the bottom of the boat is very sharp. If aluminum alloy is used to achieve the same process, the cost will be relatively high.

Another problem with fiberglass hulls is water absorption, and fiberglass will absorb water. Yuanxing 55 said it solved the water absorption problem of fiberglass, but Chen Yuan and the others didn't know the specific effect.

In any case, the aluminum alloy hull is definitely better than the fiberglass hull, and the price is also much more expensive.

If you want to pursue the ultimate perfection, you have to pay a lot of money.

"If we want to get it right in one step, we have to strengthen the hull and thicken the hull." Chen Yuan said: "At least it must withstand level 6 sea conditions, otherwise it will be meaningless."

"Fight against level 6 sea conditions?"

Chen Yuan shrugged: "When you go to sea to find fish, the higher the endurance, the better, and the higher the strength of the hull, the better. If the hull structure is to be strong enough to store 7,000 liters of fuel, it will cost 3 million more. If it is just simple

The hull needs to be replaced. The strength of the hull is about the same as that of a fiberglass hull, and the fuel tank capacity must be reduced by half." A hull that can withstand sea conditions of Level 6, coupled with 1,800 horsepower, will not have much trouble coping with sea conditions of Level 7.

When they were at the shipyard in the morning, Chen Yuan and the others also asked about aluminum alloy hulls. At that time, because there were no ready-made aluminum alloy hulls, they didn't talk too deeply.

Aluminum alloy hulls are indeed good, but the price is too high.
