The appearance of this small steamer has not changed much, but there are quite a lot of changes inside, especially the cabin.

The main source of the change is the transformation and adjustment of the power system. The small steamer used it before was a very old steam engine, but now it has been changed to the Li family to modify the old gas engine on the sail.

This gas machine uses a vertical gas generator, which can directly add coal to the upper compartment. Someone also asked to design a down hopper, smash the coal to a certain level, put it in the down hopper, and then you can cut the feed semi-automatically.

The hopper has two material troughs. The large material trough is open to the funnel-shaped storage material. When shaking the rocker, the material can be sent into the closed small hopper. The small hopper is on the top of the furnace and can be cut by itself like an hourglass. Just shake the rocker regularly and check whether the material port is blocked.

The structure is a little complicated, mainly to avoid fire coming up. There is a small hopper that does not burn much coal, and even if it is lit, it will leak quickly. It can also reduce gas loss and random air entry and interference reactions.

The coal-fired coal has also been changed from a lower coal cabin to this cabin. Channel steel is installed on both sides of the cabin, not far from the bulkhead, and thick wooden boards of combined length are installed to enclose the space to store coal. The width is about one meter and five meters, and the length on both sides can be six or seven meters. The wooden boards can be increased according to the situation and installed more or more. The wooden boards can be gradually removed to facilitate the use of coal.

Previously, the cabin and coal cabin were all in the lower cabin, and the place was small and closed. The work of adding coal was extremely stuffy and hard. The Li family asked people to take turns to work in the cabin, and at most they would hire someone else for half a year, because after working for a long time, something could easily happen.

Just now after some modification, this job has become much easier and easier, otherwise the Li family would not dare to recruit relatives to do it, otherwise they would be drowned by others.

That is, the one Li Dahe who reacted a little slow, was from Li's father's generation. Li Xiaorong had to call his cousin. His job was to take coal and knock coals and add them to the hopper, shake the rocker regularly and check whether it was blocked, and go down to the cabin every once in a while to check and clean the slag.

As for Li Xiaorong, he was mainly responsible for starting the ship and collecting money and repairing and starting machines. There were machines on his ship before, so he also knew some maintenance knowledge. Although this machine was a new machine, he got it right after he was familiar with it. He was not able to deal with all the big problems by himself.

After changing to a new machine, the two of them can drive away, but at normal times, they will use several other crew members to help attract passengers and carry goods.

One of the upper cabins was occupied, which reduced the number of passengers carrying, but this is a common situation. In fact, the boat is not sold by seat. If you have a seat, you can sit and stand without a seat. If you have more people, you can lie down. In fact, it doesn’t have much impact.

As for the original coal cabin, it was used as a cargo cabin after renovation. Although it took some effort to load and unload, it actually opened the upper cabin. The previous cargo was really a passenger cabin, aisle, deck and even driving everywhere, which was messy and hindered. Now it was moved to the lower cabin, which made the upper cabin more neat and comfortable.

"This cabin has a bit of a trick! These ventilated windows and ventilation fans should be newly modified, right?" Lin Mo went down to the cabin and looked at it, and asked.

"…Yes…” Li Xiaorong nodded and explained: "The master who installed the machine said that using a gas machine is more dangerous, especially ventilation and ventilation. The cabin must ensure the flow of air, so he opened several vents for the cabin and installed two ventilation fans."

"The person really didn't lie to you. In the future, when you encounter a large smoke or a heavy smoke smell, it is best to leave immediately. If the machine fails, turn off the engine first and wait for a while before getting off. Be careful to ensure safety. Many things may be lost if you are not careful."

Li Xiaorong nodded and said these words to him, but he didn't care much, but now he remembered them.

"I heard on the way that your new ship was called a cage ship."

After climbing out of the cabin, Zheng Junshan remembered some rumors he heard on the road and asked casually.

The so-called pig cage boat is a description of crowded, just like a pig cage, and it is difficult to turn around after sitting in. When Lin Mo heard this, he also looked at Li Xiaorong curiously.

Seeing this, Li Xiaorong hurriedly said: "My new boat is a low-priced passenger car, mainly seats and beds. People do carry more people, but they are not that exaggerated and unbearable.

The main reason is that some ship owners feel that they are being robbed or are jealous of such destructive rumors. Some people keep saying this, but in fact they have secretly changed the boat like my family.

I have seen it when I went to the shipyard! Some people want to stuff all the places on the boats with seats. My boat has still left the areas for meals, beds, rest, and convenience. As a result, their boats have seats all up and down."

Lin Mo and Zheng Junshan believed Li Xiaorong's explanation, but Lin Mo still asked in detail about the specific situation of disembarking. Li Xiaorong did not hide it and explained it clearly in detail.

"It's okay to do this, but there are many people who do carry it. It's hard to take care of so many crew members when it comes to matters. Safety measures need to be strengthened. Otherwise, no matter how much money you earn, if something happens, not only the money will be taken in, and you may have to take it in yourself."

After Lin Mo said that, Li Xiaorong hurriedly asked, but Lin Mo didn't keep it a secret. He told him about the lifebuoy, life jackets, and lifeboats, such as self-rescue equipment and supplies, but he didn't have much idea about these.

"The lifebuoy has almost the same style as the inner tube of the car, but it has different uses, full of air and great buoyancy. It can float on the water even if it can't swim.

Life jackets, like vests, are inflatable vests or stuffed with strong buoyancy materials, and then worn on the body. As for lifeboats, in layman's terms, they are equipped with small boats on large ships and used when things go wrong.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are many people on the boat and the space is limited. If you are equipped with enough of these things, it will take up a lot of space, and the cost may not be acceptable to you, but you can think of other ways.

For example, a lifebuoy, you can find a thicker soft rubber tube, tie the two ends and fill it with cotton wool in the middle, and reeds, so you don’t need to deliberately vent your breath, otherwise it will be easy to break, just let the filler bulge.

Usually, you can be placed on the seat. When used as a soft trough, you do not need to take up extra space. However, you must be disassembled regularly to check whether it is damaged or leaked, and replace the filling of the plate knot.

Life jackets are similar. They can be made into a cushion with a hole in the middle. When used, they can be directly removed and put in from the head, and then tied to the body. The sleeper can make pillows and the like like this.

As for lifeboats, you can use bamboo rafts! Usually tied to railings as guardrails, or fixed outside the hull as decorations, just put them down quickly if necessary."

After hearing Lin Mo's methods, Li Xiaorong's eyes were full of admiration. Seeing this, Lin Mo also gave him the factory site where he produced rubber products, but he did not get any letter of introduction, and did not allow him to mention him, so he asked him to contact and communicate on his own.

Although the factory has products that are selling well, the output should have risen now, and seeing that there is money to make money, there will definitely be many people following the trend. They will follow the production or simply purchase imports, which will affect business, so there is a high probability that they will accept these new orders and finance.

Lin Mo did not discourage this behavior of carrying a large number of passengers. Only when there is demand can there be services. Such ships are risky, but other ships that may solve these needs are more risky. Although it is a little crowded, low-speed airlines are still preparing to sell airplane station tickets! What is this?

"By the way, whether it is to destroy rumors or someone is jealous, there will be a fight in the interests of the people. You'd better pay attention to it. It's not convenient for us to come forward for you. If something really happens, we will come forward, and the relationship will be over in the future.

I would like to give you a suggestion: you can find a large shipping company with a strong background, pay a sum of money regularly, and then hang it in the name of its company. You should save a lot of trouble when you act under the banner of the other party."

Li Xiaorong hesitated and couldn't make up his mind when he heard this, and said shyly: "Will those big companies agree? And..."

Lin Mo naturally knew what he was worried about and replied: "In your eyes, the big trouble is just a call or a greeting. If you can get a regular sum of money so easily, you will definitely not refuse.

Even if your family can't impress each other, they won't connect several more ship owners together? It's a considerable amount of money to accumulate a small amount of money. It is recommended to find a kind of person with a good reputation but not to be rude by others' names.

If it is someone else's fault, those people may try to help you because of face or something, but if it is caused by your own reasons, then the one who should be unlucky may be yourself.

Don’t worry about other people’s idea of ​​taking boats. Your ship company doesn’t like it. Even if you like this business, you will modify it yourself. This is one of the reasons why your ship is named as a big company.

If you are in other people's name, even if others really get involved, you can give up giving up some good sites. If you run a little worse, you can still drink some soup when you eat meat.

Don’t complain, big companies are jealous of the interests, and you will definitely not be able to defend yourself. Instead, you should be proactive and proactive about doing things, such as if there are passengers who want to transfer to medium and long-range passenger ships. If you have a boat on this route, you can bring it to people. As long as you ensure that you are not out, you can definitely make money, just how much you make money."

After hearing this, Li Xiaorong nodded in confusion. Lin Mo did not ask him to agree. He just asked him to tell his father as it was after going back that it was their own business. He just saw that the other party helped several times and kindly gave it a little bit.

After chatting, the ship started to start and received the information sent by Zhang Hongxin first. Nearly ten large suitcases were placed, which were filled with various information records, reports from association books, etc. These things were not light, and at least two people could carry their feet in a box.

Then he received some other items, all of which were arranged by people to take out this morning, and finally loaded the new equipment that the special operations team had just received on the ship. They were all the same, loaded the ship from the things and people left to find the ship themselves.
