C3164 Freighter
On the blue sea, the blue waves undulated, and on the sea, a massive freighter was slowly sailing.
If one looked at the entire ship, the shape of the ship was quite bloated. At the same time, the bridge was deployed at the back of the ship, so it was a very common freighter.
However, if one looked down from the sky, one could see that it was definitely not an oil-type ship. Because from the top, one could see that its deck was not sealed. From the front to the back, many of the decks had already disappeared. Inside the cabin, there were piles of rocks piled up like mountains. It had a unique reddish-brown color.
This was the iron ore unique to the Sheep Back Country, and now, this ship was transporting the iron ore of the Sheep Back Country, which was full of iron ore from the Sheep Back Country. On the mast of the ship bridge, there was also the unique medicinal flag of the R Country.
RCountry was an industrial country. At the same time, it was also a country that lacked resources. Therefore, R Country relied on living on the lifeline of the sea. They had a large number of ships that were constantly transporting minerals. They would then turn into industrial products and sell them all over the world.
Sheep Back Country was a country that mainly exports. The iron ore in Sheep Back Country was very popular in the international market.
However, this ship was a little strange.
It was special, the oil was changed and dispersed.
The predecessor of this cargo ship was an oil ship. After that, it was modified into a loose cargo ship.
As for why it was changed, there were many circumstances. For example, when some oil ships were being built, they happened to catch up with the world's oil market's slump. So, after they were built, it wasn't worth it, so the boat owner changed his mind at the last minute. He changed the oil ships into cargo ships to transport other goods.
It could also be an old ship, especially according to the world's shipping rules. The oil ship needs a double shell structure to avoid leakage of polluting the environment. And the oil ships of the former single shell were slowly retiring. Instead of being directly eliminated, it was better to change to a cargo ship and continue to use its residual heat.
Using an oil ship to modify a cargo ship was not difficult because the level of the oil ship was high and the level of the cargo ship was low. Changing from high to low was very easy. At the same time, the capacity of the Cargo Warehouse was also large enough.
The density of crude oil was not high, so the hull was bloated. As for transporting iron ore, the same weight was only one-tenth of crude oil. In this way, as long as some holes were opened as Cargo Warehouse, it would be slightly reinforced. It was enough.
On the other hand, he had never seen a freighter modifying an oil vessel before. This kind of modification method was really too difficult.
Right now, the R Country freighter and Bird Ball were on their way back.
Captain Teng Mu stood on the bridge and looked at the scene outside with a satisfied smile on his face. "There's still one more day to go before we can return. This time, we can stop for two months."
This route wasn't far, they were all on the Peaceful Ocean. From the Sheep Back Country to the R Country, they could make two trips a year. Among them, the time they took to rest was the longest. If it was any other voyage route, they could only travel once a year. That was why Teng Mu had requested to be transferred to this ship last year. He liked this type of ship the most, and it didn't have many troublesome matters.
The biggest trouble was the container ship, so he had to be careful when transporting it. And at the port, the crew had to be in charge of looking at the cargo container. After all, most of the time, the container on a cargo ship was not from the same country. If they were to unload it wrongly, it would be very troublesome.
The most convenient thing was that the oil ships would stop at the port and wait for the oil to be loaded. When they reached the destination, they would wait for the oil to be put in. However, since the crude oil was sticky, as long as it was loaded in, it would have to be heated continuously and the mainframe would not stop.
Now, this kind of loose cargo ship was the simplest. They did not need to worry about anything. The transportation belt would send the goods over, unloading or conveyor belt. At the same time, since iron ore wasn't anything valuable, they didn't need to worry about damage during the transportation process. It could be said that as long as he steadily drove the ship, he didn't need to care about anything.
Thinking of this, he looked at the few Cargo Warehouse and sighed in his heart.
This was a VLCC single-shell oil-wheel, 319 meters long. Weight 54. 5 meters, originally carrying a load of 250,000 tons. In the past few years, the world's oil prices have been rising and falling. It was also in the middle of the year, and the oil ships were getting bigger and bigger. 500,000 tons is very common, and this ship seems to be smaller... Therefore, the ship's owner finally decided to change it to a freighter.
After the modification, the weight of the ship increased by more than ten thousand tons. With the enhancement of the structure, it could only load up to 238,000 tons. Furthermore, the Cargo Warehouse was not that big. Therefore, there was still a huge gap between the cargo cabins, which made it convenient for them to go down and check.
The boring life on the sea was going to end very soon.
However, just as he finished saying this, he heard a strange sound coming from the ship.
"Creak, creak." The sound was like the moaning of steel plates. When Teng Mu heard it, he immediately looked at the crew member beside him, Ji Ye. "Ji Ye, bring some people and check them."
"Captain, there's no need to make such a big fuss. This sound is very normal, perhaps it's from the goods." Jino was a little lazy to move and said to Fujino Masayoshi.
They were transporting ores, ores, and minerals. Although they had been on this journey, it was already bumpy enough, but it could still be rubbed back and forth in the bumpy journey. From there, a sound could be heard. Therefore, in Jiye's eyes, he didn't think that it was necessary to make a fuss about it. It was such a big boat. Did he know where the sound came from?
"If I tell you to go, then go." Teng Mu said, "If you speak again, then be careful not to deduct your bonus!"
Thus, Jiye could only helplessly leave. When he left, he was still muttering: "Captain, you've been listening to the radio recently, saying that our steel is fake, those are all fake, right? Someone wants to attack our R Country's manufacturing industry. Our R Country will not be fooled, our technology... That's the most advanced."
He knew that on the bridge, the captain was listening to the broadcast every day. In the end, he heard all kinds of discussions recently, accusing the manufacturing industry of fraud in R Country. Car fraud was not very safe, and the forging of steel had almost affected the major water conservancy project in Han Country. Even a kitchen knife had problems. It was said that it had caused a false alarm on the internet.1
What was going on!?
Ji Ye was now in his thirties. The era he grew up in was the era of rapid economic development in R Country. Therefore, he was very confident in R Country. He would never believe that there was a problem with the manufacturing industry in R Country. He would never believe that there would be a problem with the freighter under his feet.
However, when he walked out, he found that the sound seemed to have become clearer and clearer, as if it was getting bigger and bigger.
Could there really be a problem?
Just as he gathered a few people to walk into the cabin, he heard rapid footsteps behind him. It was Captain Fujima who came out personally. He held a flashlight and shouted loudly, "Quick, follow me!"
