Chapter 411 Going to sea
Blue sky, white clouds and sea.

Do you feel relaxed and comfortable, and want to run and swim lazily?
When I really arrived at the beach, the first thing I felt was the fishy smell.

There are many creatures in the ocean. When they die, they soak in the sea water. Just imagine how pungent the smell is.

Especially since this is a bay, many large fish hide here to avoid the wind and waves, and settle on the seabed after death. The smell is really speechless.

Lu Zhi, who had never seen the sea, went to the beach the next day after arriving at the shipyard.

Then in less than half an hour, he came back covering his mouth and vomiting all the way.

If Chen Ran didn't know that he could control his sexual desire, he would have wondered whether she was pregnant.

The young girl's longing for the sea was completely wasted in a day.

Chen Ran had no time to accompany her as he was busy arranging production tasks in the shipyard.

The ships that were previously designed have basically been produced. They are basically offshore ships, and their main use is fishing and offshore transportation.

This time, they came here to produce ocean-going ships.

From countless lists, Chen Ran selected a piece of iron stuff with a displacement of up to 8,000 tons.

That’s right, he is in Dajian.

Although steel is in short supply everywhere now and people are crying out for more steel, after all, the war is over and all kinds of construction need to begin, so naturally the demand is huge.

Although transportation was difficult, especially using the busiest railway line from Xianyang to Langya County, it was extremely difficult to transport tens of thousands of tons of steel. The raw materials for building this ship took two or three years to finally be delivered.

Although such huge ships had no rivals on the sea, after all, whether it was the Greek single-row oared boats or the Roman three-row oared boats, they were just ants in front of them.

Although daily maintenance is extremely difficult, the service life is not long.

although
But Chen Ran built it anyway.

"There's no reason. When we want to build a big project, we build a big project!"

This is probably the power of obsession.

When the huge ship weighing several thousand tons came out of the dock and slid into the bay, all the people working nearby were stunned.

In recent years, they have seen many different types of iron ships and have gradually adapted to the initial shock.

But those are small boats, and the largest one is only a few hundred tons in size.

A huge ship like this with a displacement of thousands of tons is something that you would never even think about, let alone see.

In the following days, Chen Ran was very busy.

He is busy training the ship's operators.

After all, the main function of this large ship is transportation, transporting personnel and supplies, and carrying out long-distance delivery across the vast ocean.

If something goes wrong due to improper operation, the loss will be huge.

After all, if this size is placed here to accommodate people, it can accommodate thousands of people.

This training lasted for more than two months, with almost non-stop training day and night. These people had been selected a few years ago and worked on offshore fishing boats on a daily basis. Their foundation had been laid. It was not just any fisherman who could get on board.

Only after the sea trials were over did Chen Ran feel at ease to go ashore.

When he returned to the house and saw Lu Zhi, Chen Ran suddenly remembered that he had a younger sister living here.

Lu Zhi was also surprised. After she came to her senses, she hurried forward to pay her respects.

"Ah, I'm done with my work." Chen Ran smiled, holding Lu Zhi's hand and walking towards the flower hall. "Is there any food? I'm a little hungry."

"Master, please wait a moment."

Lu Zhi hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

She was the only one living in this place. If it weren't for the soldiers sent by Ying Zheng to protect the shipyard stationed nearby, it would have been really dangerous.

After all, no matter what era it is, it will be dangerous for a beautiful girl to be alone outside.

Lu Zhi was a lady from a wealthy family, but she was very skilled in cooking.

Girls nowadays are proficient in housework, washing clothes, cooking, and even needlework and weaving, and are able to support half of the family.

The fairies in later generations always clamor to restore the life of the ladies of ancient times where they were served by maids, but they don’t know that even ladies of ancient times can work.

Besides, the premise of being a lady of good family is to be clean and self-disciplined. Which wealthy family would marry a fallen woman?
Even if she was a maidservant of a lady from a wealthy family, she was not qualified.

Lu Zhi’s cooking skills were pretty good, and she finally served three dishes and a soup.

Don't blame her, this is Chen Ran's fault.

Because Chen Ran’s advice to Ying Zheng was that the highest standard for official banquets in the government office was three dishes and one soup.

There are people from the Maritime Affairs Office here who deliver fresh ingredients to our door every day, and this is the standard portion size.

"Prime Minister." Lü Zhi looked uneasy. "This fish is a little bit..."

"Ah."

Chen Ran nodded, tasted a bite and pushed the fish away.

After all, it was fresh sea fish delivered in the morning, and now it was the hot summer season, Lu Zhi had fish to eat every day, and she was about to vomit, so she didn't even process it.
The result of all these things put together is hard to swallow.

"Wait for tomorrow." Chen Ran smiled and picked up the bowl. "I'll take you out to sea tomorrow so you can taste some real seafood."

Chen Ran did what he said. When it was just light outside, he woke up Lu Zhi and asked her to put on her clothes and follow him out to sea.

After tossing and turning for half the night, Lu Zhi was very tired, but she had no intention of refusing.

He got up, washed, and quickly went out with a windproof kerosene lamp.

We walked all the way to the fishing pier on the seashore, found a fishing boat that was about to set sail, and got on and followed it.

Fishing at the seaside is not the kind of sailing thousands of miles into the deep sea. In fact, most of the fishing is done on the continental shelf near the coast, which is not far away.

When the sky brightened, the fishing boats had already arrived at the location where the fishing nets had been set down in advance and began to collect the nets.

Chen Ran asked with a smile, "How is life as a fisherman at the seaside?"

The fishermen did not dare to neglect and quickly responded, "Since we have new boats and new nets, our lives have improved."

Don’t think that you can live a comfortable life by eating expensive seafood every day at the seaside.

In fact, if your stomach is empty, you can't eat seafood at all.

And they can't catch marine mammals like whales.
In addition, they died as soon as they came ashore and deteriorated quickly, which was far from being as prosperous as in the modern world.

Nowadays, fishing mainly involves using small fish to make fish sauce, and sending large fish to a processing plant next to the shipyard to be processed into canned fish.

These canned fish with large amounts of spices, oil and salt added are indeed very popular in the inland.

Especially in the military, it is the main orderer and this is also the soldiers' favorite canned food.

"How's the new boat?"

"Great! There has never been a ship as good as this one. Big, stable, fast, and agile. This is a ship that only gods can use."

Chen Ran smiled and asked, "How is the new network?"

"Great, great." The fishermen responded, "We have never seen such a strong fishing net. The fishing nets we used before would break every few days. The new net is so strong that it won't break even if it pulls up a thousand-pound fish."

"Yes, yes." The fisherman next to him continued, "In the past, we didn't dare to use fixed nets. The nets were too bad. They were either washed away by the current or corroded. They didn't look like new nets at all. They could be put there for several days without any problem."

The boat is the basis of fishing, and the net is the tool for fishing.

The hemp rope nets used in the past were naturally unusable.

Nowadays, most fishermen on the coasts of various places have switched from natural fiber hemp rope nets to synthetic fiber nylon nets.

The difference in the effectiveness of the two is more than ten times.

In fact, the most produced industrial products in Qin State now are various petroleum derivatives.

There is no way around it. Whether it is steel, daily necessities, plant seeds, livestock breeds, fertilizers, chemicals, etc., everyone is scrambling to get them.

Only the oil extraction, refining and processing joint enterprises have huge output but not much usable oil.

The fuel was mainly used for kerosene lamps, and the consumption began to increase gradually after the shipyard was built.

Under this circumstance, Chen Ran invested a large amount of oil into chemical, daily chemical and other factories to produce various petroleum derivatives.

Clothes made of chemical fibers were very popular in the Qin State.

Like fertilizers, asphalt paraffin and so on.

Among these are plastic products, nylon being one of them.

After all, there is sufficient raw material, so the output is naturally huge.

The first net was pulled up, and all kinds of lively fish jumped on the deck, causing Lu Zhi to laugh.

She was not seasick, but she held Chen Ran's arm and did not dare to let go. After all, she was afraid of the swaying of the fishing boat.

Chen Ran squatted down and began to pick.

He did not follow the custom of that era to get sea fish, but instead picked out a few crabs and dozens of large shrimps.

“Hehehe~~~” Chen Ran looked at the prawns he had picked out with a strange smile, “Tsingtao prawns, Tsingtao beer, oh, I don’t dare to eat them anymore.”

Lu Zhi and the fishermen all looked at Chen Ran in confusion.

There were so many fat fish to choose from, but instead he picked these weird things.

People of this era rarely eat shrimps and crabs.

On the one hand, it looks weird and intimidating.

What’s more important is that when eating things like shrimps and crabs, you must have oil and water in your stomach, otherwise it will be very difficult to swallow.

Chen Ran ignored all this and went straight to the kitchen on the boat.

After lighting the stove, I took some spices and salt and poured them into the pot together with the shrimps and crabs to cook.

After it was cooked, he took it out and poured it into a plate, and he and Lu Zhi squatted beside the side of the boat and enjoyed it.

Chen Ran skillfully peeled a shrimp and handed it to Lu Zhi. The girl ate it and exclaimed that it was delicious.

The fishermen over there also noticed this and started to collect the shrimps and crabs that they had originally intended to throw back into the sea and put them in boxes.

They also plan to go back and try it to see if it tastes different from before.

It is definitely different, because of the crazy promotion of soybeans, vegetable oils represented by soybean oil have entered thousands of households.

With oil in the stomach, seafood will naturally taste delicious.

Lu Zhi doesn't know how to eat, so Chen Ran will help her peel the shrimp.

The girl looked at him with soft eyes.

In an era where male chauvinism is prevalent, there are actually quite a few gentle and kind men, but it is extremely rare to find a man who is both capable and kind.

In fact, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others are the main representatives of men of this era.

Chen Ran threw the shrimp and crab shells into the sea and was about to stretch himself when he suddenly saw a huge column of water rising into the sky about a hundred meters ahead.

"There's a whale!"
