Wu Shiwen frowned, his face was a little ugly and he said: "Could it be because mine is a second-hand fishing boat, and the load is so much lower than that of a new boat?"

Chen Guan shook his head and said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with the load. Among the three fishing boats, the ocean-going processing ship must have the largest load. The remaining two ships have about the same load. "

"Old Chen, don't be foolish, hurry up and talk about Yuanyang." Xu Fang urged.

Chen Guan nodded and continued: "The draft of this boat is obviously shallower than that of the other boat. There are actually two reasons for this. One is Captain Wu's boat. Under your fishing boat, there must be accumulated A large number of barnacles, these barnacles, greatly increase the weight of your ship, and also increase the resistance of your ship when sailing, I suggest you clean it up if you have time."

Wu Shiwen asked thoughtfully, "Another reason?"

"Another reason is that the manufacturer did something wrong." Chen Guan said with a wry smile.

"Tricks and feet made by the manufacturer?" Xiang Yang's expression turned ugly.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Many shipyards will engage in such small tricks. This can be regarded as a marketing method." Chen Guan said.

Xiang Yang signaled him to continue talking.

Chen Guan said: "Many fishing boats have a load capacity of one thousand tons or several thousand tons. In fact, this load has to be discounted to a certain extent. A fishing boat with a load of 1,800 tons actually eliminates the load. After some equipment on board, the real limit load is only 1,500 tons, once the load exceeds this load, the fishing boat will be in danger when sailing.”

"Some buyers, when buying a boat, will test the actual load of the fishing boat with the manufacturer to see if it can really reach the weight advertised by the manufacturer."

At this time, Xu Fang was the first to react, "Old Chen, you mean to say that there are wheels under our boat?"

Chen Guan nodded, "You guys went out to sea at one time, so the number of catches should be about the same. Even if there were a lot of barnacles on that old ship, the difference in draft could not be as much as ten centimeters. If there is no accident, it must have released a lot of barnacles." wheels."

"Wheel?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.

Xu Fang explained to Xiang Yang: "When some people buy a boat, they will put heavy objects on the boat to test the actual load of the fishing boat, so the merchant will secretly fix a large number of wheels under the boat, so as to to increase the buoyancy of the fishing boat."

"Isn't this a good thing? Increasing the buoyancy of the fishing boat is indeed equivalent to increasing the load of the fishing boat." Xiang Yang wondered.

"This actually has certain hidden dangers and great side effects."

"If our ship is now an empty ship, then our ship's center of gravity is actually unstable now, and it is not obvious in normal times, but once a typhoon encounters, the fishing boat that can withstand the tenth typhoon may not A category nine typhoon can capsize a ship."

"Besides, because of buoyancy, when the fishing boat sails under pressure, a large part of the pressure will be wasted, and the fishing boat will become more fuel-intensive."

"In the end, the maximum load of a fishing boat does not mean that it will sink if it exceeds this waterline, but that if it exceeds this waterline, the boiler will be overloaded, which will cause great damage to the boiler. Our ship , if the actual load is 1,200 tons, and now these wheels are placed under the bottom of the ship, the load may reach 1,500 tons, but the result in exchange is that the boiler is overloaded, and many instruments There are also deviations in the data." Xu Fang explained to Xiang Yang bit by bit.

Xiang Yang frowned, and said directly: "Fang Youqun, go and prepare a diving suit for me."

Fang Youqun froze for a moment, "Brother Yang, are you going into the water now?"

"Prepare a set for me too." Chen Guan said with a smile.

Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang, then at Chen Guan, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Soon, Fang Youqun ran over with two heavy diving suits in his arms.

Chen Guan looked at the metal diving suit in his hand and clicked his tongue, "Boss, is this diving suit used by our fleet?"

Xiang Yang put on the diving suit again and again and said to Chen Guan: "Yes, our fleet often conducts underwater operations. This kind of diving suit is far superior to the ordinary ones on the market in terms of pressure resistance and bite resistance. For the diving suit, put it on quickly, let's go down and have a look together."

Chen Guan nodded quickly.

This is a deep-water port with a water depth of hundreds of meters.

Xiang Yang and Chen Guan went down to the bottom of the sea with waterproof flashlights, and then swam to the bottom of the fishing boat.

The bottom of the fishing boat was smooth, and there were no wheels as Chen Guan said.

Xiang Yang gave Chen Guan a strange look, meaning look.

In fact, Xiang Yang felt strange when he was on the boat.

Because in the past, Xiang Yang often went down to the bottom of the sea. Although Xiang Yang didn't pay attention to the bottom of the boat, if there were wheels at the bottom of the boat, Xiang Yang felt that it was impossible for him to miss it for so long.

Chen Guan waved his hands, swam to a position close to the bottom of the boat, and then stretched out his hand to press the bottom of the boat.

Xiang Yang followed suit, swam to the bottom of the boat, stretched out his hand and pressed it hard.

With this press, Xiang Yang's expression changed. The material of the bottom of the boat is not steel, but a layer of plastic bucket-like thing, which sags inward as soon as he presses it.

"Grass!" Xiang Yang didn't know that the bottom of his boat was really fitted with wheels by the shipyard. Immediately, Xiang Yang waved his fist, ready to smash the plastic shell, remove the wheels inside and throw it away.

Chen Guan hurriedly grabbed Xiang Yang, and then pointed his finger to the top, indicating that Xiang Yang had something to do later.

Xiang Yang nodded sullenly, and then swam to the surface of the water.

When Fang Youqun on the boat saw Xiang Yang take off his helmet, his gloomy face was startled, "Brother Yang, don't we really have wheels under our boat?"

Xiang Yang nodded with an ugly face, "The shipyard has wrapped the wheels with a plastic shell, no wonder I didn't notice it before."

Xu Fang hurriedly said: "Captain, I'm to blame for this matter, it's because of my negligence."

Xiang Yang waved his hand, "You're not to blame for this matter. Strictly speaking, it's a merchant defrauding consumers. We were all tricked by that shipyard."

"Actually, strictly speaking, this is not considered to be fraudulent by the merchant, because the real data of this ship must be the same as the data he presented. No one dares to cheat on this data. The purpose of the manufacturer is actually to let The ship made the data look better during the actual measurement, although it is wicked, we really have nothing to do with them." At this time, Chen Guan said helplessly.
