    After seeing the bridge and crew cabin, the next step is the highlight, the ice cabin.

    ¡° Deep-sea voyages may even take a year or two at a time. The ice cabin must be reliable, because all the fish caught are in it. If there is a problem with the ice cabin, going to sea will be a complete waste of money.

    The most important thing about the ice cabin is the cooling effect. Hanks said that they installed the most advanced refrigerator on the General Christian in accordance with Qin Shiou's requirements.

    The refrigeration methods of fishing boats are similar. There are generally three ways to preserve the catch: chilled, coil-cooled, and frozen. The Harvest's ice cabin can also achieve these three effects. Of course, the power of the refrigerators is different, and the ice cabin's  The volume is even more different.

    The most important refrigeration method for ordinary fishing boats is chilled refrigeration. Crystal clear ice cubes are used to freeze seafood. This can often keep the freshness of seafood to the greatest extent, and is low-cost, simple and easy to operate.

    There is only one small refrigeration cabin on the General Christian, which is filled with about one hundred tons of seafood.

    The reason is very simple. Chilled food has the worst refrigeration effect and can be kept fresh for up to ten days. For deep-sea fishing vessels, this period of time is too short. Unless the ship is preparing to go ashore to replenish oil, food and fresh water, it will only do a temporary job and use it.  Some seafood is stored in the chilled cabin and sold immediately upon landing.

    The next highlight is coiled cooling and freezing.

    These two refrigeration methods are relatively expensive, but if they are successfully refrigerated, closing the cabin can greatly reduce energy consumption.

    Hanks said: "Look, we used polyurethane rigid foam material for the ice tank of this ship. This material is rarely used in ocean-going ships because its cost is too high. But I have to say, you can only do it if you are willing to invest.  To obtain big profits, this material has a very good thermal insulation effect. After one cooling, only a short period of additional cooling is required. Compared with traditional polyethylene steel plate materials, its thermal insulation effect can be improved by 400%."

    Qin Shiou led people to inspect the two ice cabins. The cooling method of the coils is to continuously spray cold air into them through pipes to always maintain a low temperature.  Freezing and refrigeration means that after the seafood is sent into the ice cabin, the temperature is immediately lowered to below minus ten degrees Celsius and frozen into ice cubes.

    The inspection method for freezing and refrigeration is simple. Put a bucket of water in and the machine is running rumblingly. Qin Shiou can see through the camera installed in the cabin that the water in the bucket freezes at a speed visible to the naked eye. A full bucket  water, the ice cubes that eventually freeze are higher than the edge of the bucket.

    This is a very interesting natural phenomenon. We all know the principle of "thermal expansion and contraction", but for the same mass of a bucket of water, the density of ice is less than that of water, so when the water turns into ice, the volume will increase.

    This characteristic is very important to living things, because if water, like most substances, has a solid density greater than a liquid density, the water at the bottom of rivers, lakes and seabeds will freeze first in winter, making it impossible for underwater organisms to survive.

    The early life on earth originated in the ocean. If ice cannot float on the water, even if there is life on earth, it will not be able to safely survive the ice age.  Therefore, this property of water and ice plays an important role in the survival of living things on earth.

    After witnessing the freezing effect, Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction to Hanks and said, "Then, shall I go take a look at the engine next?"

    Hanks took him to the engine room at the stern of the ship and proudly introduced: "The engine used by the Christian General is the Pride of the Ocean from Pratt & Whitney Group, pp-likv556 engine, which belongs to  A new generation of low-speed two-stroke diesel engine, which is also guided by an electric motor, ensures that the ship can flexibly turn around at any time."

    Founded in 1925, Pratt-Whitney Corporation is one of the two largest aero-engine manufacturing companies in the United States and one of the world's major aviation gas turbine engine manufacturers.

    Of course, engines are not separated, and Pratt & Whitney Group is also very strong in marine engines.

    Motor-guided diesel engines are also the development trend of modern civilian ships. The motor here should actually be called an 'azimuth thruster', which can rotate 360¡ã, making the ship more controllable and allowing the hull to move in any direction.

    However, the most advanced ship engine is the superconductor motor that Siemens has been researching in recent years. This thing is super wear-resistant and can adapt to various polar environments, such as the exploration of the Arctic Ocean.

    After the inspection, everything was fine. Qin Shiou needed to sign the receipt contract, and the next step was to pay the balance.

    Qin Shiou looked at the contract, pointed to the name of the ship and said: "I want to change the name of this ship. You will negotiate with Shipping and you will help with the procedures. I don't want to call it General Christian anymore, but change it to Melon. If  ThisIf the name cannot be registered, then change it to Melon Princess.  "

    With Hanks¡¯ calmness and wisdom, he couldn¡¯t help but take a breath after hearing the name: ¡°Melon? This name is a bit weird.¡±

    Qin Shiou smiled kindly and asked casually, "How would you feel if you heard a little girl named Melon?"

    Hanks thought about it and said: "If it is a cute little girl, then this name would be great. Melon is a very delicious fruit. If used in the name, it will make me feel that this little girl is like a delicious melon.  Full of charm.¡±

    After hearing this, Officer Qin was immediately delighted. He patted Hanks on the shoulder and said, "You have great taste. I have to admit, man, no wonder we can always do business together."

    When Qin Shiou left, the sea monster looked at Hanks strangely and said, "You actually think that a name like Melon is suitable for a little girl?"

    Hanks patted him on the shoulder and said: "Since my client likes to call his daughter Melon, why should I not like it? Besides, this is not the first time I have spoken nonsense without conscience."

    The sea monster laughed, then felt something was wrong, and asked in shock: "How do you know Qin's daughter's name is Melon?"

    "Melon Princess, man, if you just had a daughter and you named a ship Melon Princess, wouldn't that mean something simple?" Hanks pointed to his head, feeling like a sea monster  IQ is worrying.

    Qin Shiou took all-round photos of the fishing boat, then returned to the hospital to show it to Wei Ni, and proudly said: "I decided to name this ship the Melon Princess. What do you think?"

    Winnie said excitedly: "Awesome, honey, I really like this name."

    "But," the conversation changed, Winnie deliberately showed a gloomy expression, "When will the Queen Winnie be out?"

    Qin Shiou immediately took out his mobile phone and said: "I will add a fishing boat right away, called the Queen Wei Ni!"

    Winnie grabbed the phone with a smile, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with my daughter. Let's name this fishing boat after her. I'm waiting for your luxury cruise!"

    Qin Shiou picked up Wei Ni and said tenderly: "There will be it, dear, there will definitely be this ship." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
