Feeling Fang Er's warm and strong arm, Chai Lingwu struggled to get up.
Brother~~ Don't, don't be like this! Don't mess with me!
Let go quickly, and when it's time, second brother will get you some young and beautiful ones.
This guy's cries were pitiful, echoing in Fang Er's ears like a little sow being...
This made Fang Er awkward, so he quickly let go and explained with a smile.
Second brother misunderstood, second brother misunderstood.
It's just that brother is too happy, hahahahaha!
Brother built a ship, a big ship, a big ship you can't imagine!
Hahahaha!
Chai Lingwu looked at him in confusion. He hadn't seen this guy so happy even when his fishing boat brought in over a hundred thousand catties of fish.
So, he tentatively asked, "How big is it? Bigger than the fishing boats outside?"
Hahahaha, I'm telling you the numbers, but you won't understand. Let me put it this way, the deck alone is 30 mu in size!
Fang Er smiled and held up three fingers.
"Three, thirty mu?"
Chai Lingwu was stunned.
Fang Er nodded with a smile.
Chai Lingwu still couldn't believe it: "Your family only has sixty mu, and you're telling me this one ship is half the size of Shenyang County Duke's mansion?
How many people can it carry? It's enough for two armies to confront each other, right??"
"How many people? Let me calculate."
Fang Er seriously propped up his chin, recalling the introduction to the Liaoning aircraft carrier in his previous life.
"Hmm, calculated. According to design standards, it can carry 2,600 people, and that's purely for firearm troops."
"If it's just carrying people, it can carry about ten thousand people."
Chai Lingwu: "???"
"Ten thousand people? And you say 'about'?"
"You're not human!
Who would believe that if you said it? Anyway, this second master doesn't believe it.
This guy must be really pent up. I have to tell my sister when we get back. Such a good brother-in-law, if he really goes crazy from being pent up, the Chai family will lose out big time.
"Alright, ten thousand people it is, brother believes you."
"But, shouldn't we go see the harvest from the other ships now?"
Fang Er felt something was wrong when he heard his words.
This incredibly awesome ship, shouldn't it elicit shock, confusion, and awe?
Why just say "I believe you" and then nothing else?
He felt like he hadn't shown off sufficiently.
"No, that's a ship that can carry ten thousand people. Don't you think it's amazing?"
"Alright, alright, it's amazing. Don't even mention amazing, as long as you like it, don't even mention cows, pigs, horses, dogs, or sheep, they're all yours.
"Let's go, let's go, sail the ship, second brother wants to see those fish catches that look like small mountains now."
Chai Lingwu grabbed Fang Er and walked out of the KTV, kicking the broken glass on the ground aside with his foot.
"Brother, be careful, don't cut your foot."
"This brother-in-law is too pitiful, I must take good care of him."
Fang Er: "???"
Before he could figure out what was wrong, Chai Lingwu dragged him into the cockpit and placed his hand on the ship's wheel, then heard him urging.
"Brother, quickly, sail the ship."
"Alright, I didn't manage to show off this time. I'll find another opportunity next time."
"This second master doesn't believe it, this awesome aircraft carrier won't scare you."
"F*ck! I'm infected, that guy's second master!"
The yacht started up and began searching for other ships on the sea. The more than a dozen ships weren't too far apart. With such abundant resources, there was no need to go to the distant sea; within fifty li of the coastline, there were enough catches.
After inspecting the catches of the other eleven fishing boats and doing some calculations, nearly a million catties of marine fish were stored in a single day.
This was good news.
Similarly, there was also bad news.
When he met Li Shun last, he voiced his concerns.
"Duke, with so many fish catches, I'm afraid the shore won't be able to dry them in time."
Fang Er was stunned.
He had been completely engrossed in the joy of the aircraft carrier and the fish catches, never having thought about this issue.
To dry a million catties of marine fish into dried fish, let alone now, even in later generations, it would require a super-large food processing plant.
If these fish couldn't be processed in time, they could only be stored in the cold storage on the fishing boats.
This way, the fishing boats would have to return to the dock and wait. Only after the cold storage was emptied could they go out for the next fishing trip.
Damn it, even a bountiful harvest can be a problem now?
After instructing the various boats to continue fishing, he drove the yacht back to the dock.
He had to urgently address the processing issue.
By the time he returned to shore, it was already noon the next day. Of course, they had spent the night at sea. Without GPS, even with a shallow draft yacht, there was a risk of hitting reefs at night.
Upon returning ashore, he immediately summoned Ma Baoguo.
"How is the processing plant coming along?"
"Replying to the Duke, we haven't dared to stop working for the past three days, even working by lamplight at night."
"However, time is tight, and we've only just finished the foundation."
After speaking, Ma Baoguo pointed to the construction site in the distance. It was less than a kilometer from the dock, with an unobstructed view.
"Let's go take a look," Fang Er said, frowning as he walked towards it.
At the current fishing speed, the 800-ton cold storage on each boat would be full in three to five days at most. If the processing plant wasn't built quickly, delaying the fishing boats from going out to sea would be a major issue.
(Previous error, the 70-meter trawler can refrigerate 800 tons of catch, now corrected.)
Upon arrival, Fang Er looked at the construction site and directly issued a stop-work order.
Ma Baoguo was a bit confused: "Duke, we're not building the factory anymore?"
"Building it like this is too slow! The fishing boats will return in two to three days at most. By then, if this place isn't ready, the fishing boats will have to wait at sea."
Fang Er said, shaking his head, then took out paper and pen from his pocket and began to draw.
When he sent people here initially, he hadn't expected such a powerful catch, so many aspects were not considered thoroughly.
The fish catches being prepared now are for the drought, so there's no need to worry about how the factory is built. The most important thing is to dry the fish.
Since it wouldn't rain, it didn't matter if the factory was built or not.
After finishing the drawing, he casually handed it to Ma Baoguo.
"There are too many fish, and building a factory will delay things, so let's not build it."
"Dig fire channels, light fires inside them, build racks outside the fire channels, and dry the fish."
"Additionally, build warehouses as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Duke."
Compared to building a factory, this method was much simpler. Ma Baoguo quickly relayed the orders.
The four fishing boats that hadn't gone out to sea were sent back to the iron mine to pick up rebar.
Three excavators started working, digging long fire channels in the prepared foundation. The excavated soil was piled high on both sides of the fire channels and then compacted by the bucket.
Sufficient space was left between the fire channels for building roasting racks.
As for fuel, hehe, there was no shortage of this. Beside them was a petroleum mine, with an absolutely abundant supply.
It might not taste too good to roast fish with petroleum, but that wasn't the main point. As long as they could fill their stomachs and not starve, anything was fine.
