Chapter 176 New Fishing Boat and Reef

"Try the effect of the new boats."

Xu Shan rubbed his brows. The production report of the fishing area showed him very obvious information. The fish along the coast were getting less and less.

The fishing industry soon fell into a predicament similar to hunting. The recovery speed of the biota was slower than their fishing speed.

The small sampan fishing boats originally used by fishermen began to appear weak as the fishermen's range of activities increased. The fish on the shore were rapidly decreasing. Now the fishermen had to face the problem of leaving the coastal area and expanding outward to obtain offshore catches.

If it weren't for the existence of a natural reef, they would get less food every day.

The small sampan fishing boats they used can only be used along the coast. Once there is a small wind and waves on the sea, it is difficult to keep the people on it. In order to increase the food income of the territory, building newer and better fishing boats has become a necessity for the current territory.

It just so happens that navigation and shipbuilding are also the prerequisite technologies for the promotion from the imperial era to the colonial era. After the technology is pointed out, it can also be used as a prerequisite for the promotion of the era.

Ji Lin wanted to advance, and he only needed a few technologies. He just needed the final push.

The military research of the territory is currently leaning towards people's livelihood, but due to the fact that there is only one scientific research director in office, the research speed is slow. Considering that this scientific research director has to take care of education and production, it is even slower.

During this period, he put down his work and began to use the small factory of the Engineering College to produce regular fishing boats for five people for the fishing area. Although the small factory is small, it also has a platform for manufacturing important equipment parts such as machine tools.

He hired dozens of strong and smart people to assist in shipbuilding.

The territory soon got a new fishing boat.

A long paddle boat, 15 meters long and 3 meters wide, uses a large amount of steel produced in the territory to reinforce the hull structure, and can carry five fishermen. When there is no wind, it can rely on oars to travel, and when there is wind, it can use the wind to propel itself forward on the sea. After reaching the location, cast a fishing net and catch a large number of sea fish.

This type of fishing boat can ensure that it can sail worry-free in the near sea by its own quality, and its load is also more than the small sampans used in the current fishing areas.

About ten times more load.

The production of the fishing area using the new fishing boat is bound to usher in a new round of explosion.

Thanks to the various steel parts gradually mass-produced by the blacksmith shop, the structural strength and carrying capacity of the ship have been greatly improved, and the dean does not need to rub the parts by hand, allowing him to focus on technology research and development.

Now the education in the territory can finally see a little bit of results. The smart people in the territory can recognize basic images and mathematical addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and text. Xu Shan finally does not have such great work pressure - he can legitimately be a supervisor and watch the people in the territory work. After learning the basic process, the people in the territory can also build a paddle fishing boat with similar quality as his according to the map.

Except for the first two paddle fishing boats that he participated in manufacturing, the subsequent paddle fishing boats were handed over to these apprentices selected by Xu Shan.

Xu Shan did not hide his skills in teaching. By teaching these people, he could be freed from heavy physical labor, and the fact was just as he expected.

The dean only needed to conduct acceptance work to check whether the paddle-sail fishing boats were of qualified quality. The two paddle-sail fishing boats made by the apprentices later had no quality problems in structure, but the craftsmanship was obviously not as sophisticated as that of the dean.

But the manufacturing process of paddle-sail fishing boats no longer required his participation.

Perfect.

Today, he took these newly launched boats all the way from the small port of the Engineering College to the fishing area, where the fishermen worked. The fishermen who were summoned here in advance looked at the four fishing boats that were rowed from the sea with surprise, which were much more than what they were using now.

Xu Shan read out the latest regulations and told these fishermen that excellent production teams could get the right to use the new fishing boats. As for how to deal with the fishing boats produced later, Xu Shan had not thought about it yet.

The four excellent working groups, that is, the free people who were selected to live in the houses and escaped from slavery, could use this new fishing boat.

However, the replacement of new fishing boats has brought a new problem. The production of new fishing boats must be faster than that of excellent working groups. With the help of the dean, they can produce one in three days, but without the help of the dean, it takes five days to produce one.

Although they can build boats according to the drawings, the various auxiliary machinery in the factory cannot be learned in ten days, half a month, or even a month... Two days ago, someone almost lost his finger due to improper operation.

The working group only produces two in a month, that is, ten people.

The monthly production value is three times different, and these extra new fishing boats can't be piled up without production, right? But if they are provided to those who have not yet changed their jobs to become freemen, it will inevitably cause injustice between them. The current fishing area of ​​the territory is counted according to the monthly catch. The fishing efficiency of those who have new fishing boats will be greatly improved.

Those fishermen who have new fishing boats will be more likely to become freemen, which is obviously not fair.

Xu Shan thought, he was just a dean and a scientific researcher, and policy matters were really tiring for him. This question was asked to Ji Lin, who had just arrived at the beach and was about to put down the reef to replenish the coastal food.

Ji Lin thought for a moment and then answered the dean's question.

"Shifts, as you said, the excellent work group can permanently obtain the right to use a boat, and the others will rotate every five days according to the schedule."

One boat is for 25 people, and five working groups take turns to use it. It is best if each group uses the new fishing boat the same number of times a month.

As the number of fishing boats increases, at most two working groups will take turns to use it, which not only ensures the efficiency of the territory's fishery production, but also stimulates the desire of fishermen to use good tools, and does not undermine the current promotion rules of the territory.

We cannot abandon the rules of the territory for temporary interests, nor can we be so pedantic as to abandon the means of production.

"That's a good idea."

Xu Shan praised.

After speaking, Ji Lin turned around and asked.

"Has the new fishing boat been built? It's just right. I want to go to the reef over there to take a look."

After coming to the coast several times, Ji Lin has never climbed onto the reef once. Today, the new boat happened to be launched, and the dean happened to be here.

He called four fishermen to row the boat and sent them to the reef not far from the fishing area. The fishermen are also familiar with this reef. They often come here to catch shrimps and crabs to add color to the territory canteen.

As the beacon was thrown into the water, a gray-white reef began to grow in the seawater, building itself from the light flow, and then large areas of marine plants and reefs that were visible to the naked eye grew. Ji Lin could only recognize kelp, or in his cognition, long, large, edible, green marine plants were all called kelp.

And all kinds of shrimps, crabs and shellfish that came out of nowhere made this large reef their home.

In this way, a medium-sized reef area was generated.
