Chapter 109 Barnacles at the Bottom of the Ship

Wang Xuehong was on the side, shaking his head helplessly.

In his opinion, such a knife is just a souvenir.

At most, 10 to 20 Japanese coins are enough, and 50 is equivalent to 3 Huaxia coins. At this price, you can buy a good knife.

As for the wakizashi in front of him, since the shopkeeper didn't introduce too much, it means that there is no provenance. Such a knife is only a few thousand Huaxia coins, but the price Ye Yuan gave has already reached 3.

Young people are still too frizzy.This is the definition Wang Xuehong gave Ye Yuan.

The two walked out of the knife shop and continued to wander here. After all, they had already bought it, and Wang Xuehong couldn't say anything else, so the two continued to wander around like this.

Ye Yuan learned that perception can still be used in this way through buying a knife.

In the following period of time, every time Ye Yuan went to an antique shop, he would use his senses to feel every antique, but he never found any strange antiques again.

Due to the long-term consumption of mental power, Ye Yuan looked very tired, Wang Xuehong thought he was like this because of shopping, so he took Ye Yuan back to the hotel directly.

In the following two days, Ye Yuan went to Antique Street several times alone, but still found nothing.

"I really didn't pick up the leaks like this," Ye Yuan thought to himself.

Soon the day of the auction has arrived. Ye Yuan originally wanted to learn more from Wang Xuehong, but who knows that this auction is not open to the public, and almost only those who have received the invitation letter can enter, and each person can only bring one name, someone like a consultant goes in.

Although Wang Xuehong is a well-known figure in the antique industry, it is better to be cautious in the antique industry.

So this time, he brought a scholar with great research in cultural relics, and Ye Yuan was too embarrassed to continue to follow. After all, there was only one quota, so he stayed in the hotel and waited.

After Wang Xuehong and the others left, Ye Yuan took out the wakizashi he bought.

I thought the knife was hollow, and there should be a mechanism or something to open the knife.

The result was what Ye Yuan did not expect.

He used perception to observe for a long time.

Finally draw a conclusion.

This knife, the piece of leather inside, was somehow put in when making the knife.

Want to take it out.The blade must be destroyed.Right now Ye Yuan doesn't have any suitable tools at hand, it seems that he can only start researching after he goes back.

I am not in a hurry, I just bought it out of curiosity, after all, no one would hide animal skins in a knife when they have nothing to do, right?There should be some secret in it.

Putting away the wakizashi, Ye Yuan quietly waited for Wang Xuehong in the hotel, he also wanted to see what kind of antiques would make someone like Wang Xuehong come here on purpose.

In the evening Wang Xuehong came back dejectedly, and Ye Yuan could tell that things were not going well.

"Uncle Wang, how are you doing?"

"Hey~ Don't mention it, these damn Japanese devils knew we were going to buy those antiques, Dong raised the price to an outrageous price, and finally everyone discussed it, but they still didn't make a move."

"."

Wang Xuehong was going to return to the country the next day, and Ye Yuan also planned to go back with them, after all, his purpose of coming to Japan this time has been completed.

I told Wang Yueshan about my going back early, but I didn't say anything there. After all, everyone has their own things to do.

Just like that, Ye Yuan, Wang Xuehong and others boarded the plane back to the motherland together.

. . . . . .

Standing at the pier of Yuwan Island, Ye Yuan was instructing the crew to clean up the barnacles on the bottom of the boat,
For large fishing boats, they cannot escape the troubles of sea anemones, oysters, barnacles and other marine life.

These things look small, but they also bring a lot of problems to fishing boats.

Once they attach to the bottom of the boat, they will regard it as a parasitic place and will not leave easily.

As long as it is not cleaned up, these sea creatures will continue to multiply on it. In this way, there will be more and more creatures on the bottom of the ship, which will undoubtedly increase the weight of the hull.

Moreover, the surface of the bottom of the boat has also become very rough, which seriously affects the navigation of the fishing boat.

An ocean-going cargo ship that once moored in Sicily had a large amount of marine life attached to the bottom of the ship for 28 days.

But the staff didn't pay attention at that time. As a result, during the voyage, the speed dropped from 18 knots to 13 knots, and the voyage time was ten days longer than expected.

As a result, fuel consumption has increased by a full 500 tons.

Cleaning up barnacles is a very troublesome thing, because there is no good way to do it manually.

This is also Ye Yuan's last job before preparing to sail.

Don't underestimate these marine organisms, just cleaning them up is not enough, because they will produce some strong acidic corrosion products, which will erode the bottom of the ship and cause rust when it reaches a certain amount.

So it is necessary to clean up the rust and then polish it.

Then apply thick anti-rust paint and anti-fouling paint.

In order to prevent these marine organisms from approaching the bottom of the ship, some toxic substances such as copper oxide and mercury oxide are added to the paint when painting.

These materials seep out slowly, preventing the growth of marine life to some extent.

However, with the peeling off of the bottom paint of the boat, a large number of marine organisms will slowly adhere to it. Therefore, the bottom of the boat must be cleaned after a period of time to ensure the normal operation of the fishing boat.

Ye Yuan watched the crew clean up while listening to Li Hui's report.

During the week when Ye Yuan went to Wa country, Li Hui also had a backlog of several things waiting for Ye Yuan to make a decision.

The first thing is that the researchers at the research institute are already in place and have started to provide counseling to the workers in the fishery.The content of the counseling is how to breed various fish more scientifically.

Through this period of study, the workers have also mastered a lot of experience.

This matter was decided by Ye Yuan a long time ago, at first Ye Yuan was worried that these researchers came because of a few kids from his family.

Now it seems that I was overthinking. Professor Su was really helping me. The researcher came here to teach the workers how to breed. He didn't mention those guys. On the contrary, it was the monitor himself, who often ran to the researcher when he had nothing to do.

After all, these researchers are studying marine biology, they know these marine animals very well, and they also know what the monitor needs.

For a few days, Ye Yuan felt that the squad leader made a lot of delicious food at the researcher's side, and Ye Yuan didn't bother to care about this guy.

The second thing is that Li Hui went to Blue Island to find a suitable location to open a seafood company.

Li Hui did not go well with this matter at first, some good stores already had owners, and those who did well did not plan to sell them.

Finally found Su Mei.

Su Mei was very happy to hear that Ye Yuan planned to open a seafood company in Blue Island.

After all, every time I buy goods, I have to bring a boat to Yuwan Island, which invisibly increases my own costs a lot.

Now Ye Yuan plans to open a seafood company in Landao, so she can directly get goods from this company in the future, which is really convenient for her.

So Su Mei was very concerned about this matter and helped Li Hui find a store next to Fuxiangju.

This store is very good, whether it is the customer flow or the area, Li Hui is quite satisfied, now it is Ye Yuan who has to make the final decision.
