Chapter 166 New Ship Launched
There were still ten minutes left. After Jiang Xia took photos of the staff at their respective posts, he said, "Director Zhou, I want to take a group photo with all the craftsmen who built this ship as a souvenir."
Director Zhou also thought this was a good idea, so he asked everyone to stand still and take a photo.
He smiled and said, "I also brought a camera to take pictures of you as souvenirs. If you have a camera, use yours."
Jiang Xia said as soon as he heard it: "Director Zhou, let someone use your camera to take pictures of the moment when the big ship is launched. Take more pictures of the details and then take them to the Guangzhou Trade Fair to show foreign businessmen the strength and technology of our shipyard!"
Director Zhou's eyes lit up: "You are really smart!"
He immediately ordered someone to do it. Jiang Xia also taught the man how to shoot and what details to shoot. Just as he returned to the boat after teaching, a boatman shouted: "One minute to eight!"
Everyone immediately took their seats and stopped talking.
"Ten, nine, eight, ... one!"
The clock struck eight! A boatman took a hammer and knocked down the wrench, loosening the steel cable, and a boatman cut the traction rope.
At this moment the boat moved!
The big ship with a red background and blue edges slowly moved under the support of air bags and slid out of the slide.
When the boat was halfway through sliding, the center of gravity moved forward, the stern tilted, the speed suddenly increased, and it rushed straight to the water surface!
With a "bang", the big ship rushed into the sea, splashing countless water.
The boat continued to slide into the water.
At this moment, everyone's heart was lifted.
The most feared thing is that the big ship will capsize the moment it is launched into the water!
We are also afraid that when the big ship is launched into the water, the force will be too great and it will hit the bottom of the ship.
Fortunately, none of them happened! After the stern of the boat hit the surface of the water, the hull behind it continued to glide and break through the waves.
When the entire ship fell into the water, splashing two lines of water, the hull shook violently for a few times and then stabilized.
It stopped steadily on the sea! At this moment, more than 20 people on and off the boat applauded! Firecrackers sounded at the same time! Director Zhou shouted: "The new ship is launched, and it will go smoothly!"
Everyone followed suit and shouted: "The new ship is launched, and it will go smoothly!"
Zhou Chenglei controlled the rudder and the boat moved forward with a "thump thump" sound.
"When the machine rings, it's worth a ton of gold!"
"Full throttle, full catch!"
"Turn the oars and 24 meters becomes 60 meters!"
"After a turn at sea, the big ship becomes a giant ship!"
…
Auspicious words came out of everyone's mouth.
Father Zhou grinned and shouted, "Okay!"
The response was very loud! Jiang Xia smiled and took photos of all these scenes.
The ocean!
Here I come! Once the boat is in the water, it's life.
From then on, they drifted on the water, conquered the ocean, or sailed on rivers, lakes and seas.
The size of the ship determines the weight it can carry.
So is the ship, so are the people.
The ship gradually sailed into the depths of the sea. After sailing for some distance, Zhou Chenglei handed the ship over to the shipyard's workers to drive it, and he went to check if there were any problems with the operation of the machines.
Director Zhou and other boatmen were also checking the equipment, checking if the hull was leaking, listening to the sound of the engine, checking if the fish finder was working properly, checking if the refrigeration equipment was running, and checking the net lifting machine...
Jiang Xia didn't understand any of this, he just followed behind, listening and taking pictures.
This boat did not originally have the fish finder installed, it was a gift from Director Zhou.
This thing is imported, very expensive, and uses the latest technology with positioning.
The reason why I can give it away is that this fish finder was originally broken and had been sent back to the manufacturer for exchange for a new one. When it was returned, the manufacturer forgot to take it, and the replacement one was delivered with a new batch of goods, so I got this at a bargain.
Director Zhou took it apart and tinkered with it. Unexpectedly, he finally got it right. He simply installed it on their ship to thank them for their great help to the shipyard.
Jiang Xia touched the fish finder and felt that with this thing, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to catch fish when going out to sea.
Jiang Xia touched it and turned away. Then the boatman who was driving the boat accidentally glanced at the fish finder and couldn't help but said excitedly: "There are fish schools! There are fish schools!"
Everyone looked over when they heard it.
Father Zhou was particularly excited, as he had never seen such high-tech stuff before!
Can you find the fish schools there now?

Zhou Qi asked excitedly: "Are there really schools of fish? How can we tell?"
The boatman taught him: "Yes, the echo here is the school of fish. Then look at the location of the school of fish from here. Once you have determined the location, you can drive the boat over..."
As he spoke, he maneuvered the fishing boat over.
Director Zhou came over, took a look, and said with a smile: "You are really lucky. You encountered a large school of fish right after entering the water. You can start lowering the nets. We can try out the trawl and net-lifting equipment early."
When Zhou's father heard this, he immediately waved to Jiang Xia and said, "Xiao Xia, you and A Lei go online together."
With a touch of Wangcai’s little golden hand, the network can be cracked after half an hour of trial.
The boatman and Director Zhou on the boat were both stunned.
To be honest, allowing Jiang Xia to board the ship to participate in the launching ceremony was already a surprise to all the boatmen.
After all, this is not a foreign country. In foreign countries, when a new ship is launched, ladies take the lead in the bottle-throwing ceremony, but it is different here, especially for fishing boats.
The fishermen here are more religious. Director Zhou has never seen a woman on board a new ship when it is launched.
Here, only men participate in the launching of new ships. Few people hold the bottle-throwing ceremony, but most people just tie flowers and set off firecrackers.
Everyone was already surprised to see Jiang Xia on the boat, and they were even more surprised when Zhou's father asked Jiang Xia to cast the first net.
However, everyone is well-educated. On such a festive day, naturally no one would say anything inappropriate. Everyone watched with a smile, and couldn't help thinking: This family really respects their daughter-in-law! If Zhou's father knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely say: What do you know? The first net on the new boat, of course, is to let the youngest daughter-in-law, Wangcai, and the youngest son go fishing together!
He just saw it. Xiao Xia touched the fish finder, then turned around, and soon the fish finder detected the school of fish.
This little hand that can turn stone into gold, he wished she could touch the whole boat! The fishing nets were ready, and the deck was covered with fishing nets. There was almost no place to stand. Zhou Chenglei naturally took Jiang Xia's hand and walked to the stern.
Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Dad, big brother, you two can come too. The boat is big enough for us to stand on both sides."
Father Zhou was even happier. Look how capable his daughter-in-law is!
He smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go together, Axin!"
Husband and wife are of one mind, father and son are of one mind, brothers are of one mind, and a family is united and friendly. That is a sign of prosperity! Jiang Xia handed the camera to Director Zhou and asked him to help take pictures.
Then Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia stood on one side, Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin stood on the other side, and the four of them lowered the fishing net together.
The ropes and fishing nets on the deck quickly slid into the water from the stern and were dragged far away.
There were tears in Zhou's father's eyes.
Who understands? For these fishermen, what they are putting out is not just a fishing net, but hope and even life!
