The next morning.

"Xiao Ling, I will take you to our steel plant today." Qin Tao said to Zhao Ling: "Our steel plant also has very strong technical strength. For example, the Yinwa steel we currently use to manufacture natural gas ships is our own.

The smelted steel has also been recognized by the French, and we are the second in the world to be able to smelt this kind of steel."

Zhao Ling nodded: "Well, I will obey your arrangements."

"We are currently developing high-strength steel, which will be ready for use when we start building aircraft carriers in the future."

While talking, the two of them walked out of the guest house and stood at the door, waiting for Xu Zhengyang to drive.

At this moment, Qin Tao's eldest brother made a loud noise.

"Hey, who's who? What? Dad? Are you coming?"

Qin Tao was suddenly surprised.

Zhao Ling on the side was also shocked. The dad Qin Tao said was definitely not Qin Baoshan, but Wu Shengli.

How come he has time to come here?

The Mercedes-Benz G drove over and the two of them got into the car. Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang: "Let's go to the naval base."

Wu Shengli and the others came by helicopter and flew directly to the naval base in Mingzhou. Although there is no runway here, it is still no problem for helicopters to take off and land.

By the time Qin Tao and the others passed by, the Zhijiu had landed. Several leaders from the base were there to greet them. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling also came to greet them.

Not only Wu Shengli, but also several other navy leaders stepped off the plane together. The helicopter's rotors were still turning, causing the weeds on the ground to sway back and forth. Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang behind him and already guessed something.

"Taozi, let's go to the conference room!" Wu Shengli greeted from a distance.

The group of people walked to the conference room of the naval base. The room was full of people, with excitement on their faces. Qin Tao's expression was different.

"Last night, we received relevant reports indicating that the Zhouzhou Shipyard had the idea of ​​reclamation and island building. We were very excited, so we came over in person." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi, tell me now.

Be specific."

Yesterday, Qin Tao finished talking about the plan, and Xu Zhengyang reported it to him. The navy was having a headache about these things. Suddenly, when he heard about this solution, he was naturally very happy and came immediately.

Now, all eyes are looking at Qin Tao. Although Qin Tao received the news in a hurry, this does not trouble him.

"We need a large cutter suction dredger." Qin Tao said: "This dredger needs to be equipped with a high-power reamer. It can not only dig all kinds of clay, dense sand, gravel, but also open

Digging rocks with a pressure resistance of 40 MPa means that even if we encounter granite, we are capable of cutting it to pieces and sucking it away."

"As for the depth, we can't expect too much. The maximum excavation depth is thirty meters, which is enough for dredging the river." Qin Tao continued: "The excavation efficiency is set at 4,500 cubic meters per hour.

, the mud discharge distance is set at six thousand meters, which can also reduce our technical difficulty."

In Qin Tao's eyes, this is still far from the best in the world. The most advanced dredger can blow 6,000 cubic meters per hour to 15,000 meters. However, this is

In the 1990s, there was not much technical reserve in China, so we took our time.

He thinks it has lowered the difficulty, but in the eyes of others, it is not bad compared to launching a satellite.

"Currently, the dredgers we can manufacture domestically are only medium-sized dredgers, and the data is less than one-tenth of your data." Wang Qianjin, a technical expert who came from Huating, said: "What you proposed

Can these technical indicators be achieved?"

"Well, if I had known better, I would not have donated that ship back then. Several years have passed and there is still no improvement." Qin Tao sighed.

Back then, Qin Tao got the island country's medium-sized dredger from Lao Maozi. Later, at his father's insistence, the dredging equipment on it was sent to the Ship Design Institute for research. For them, this was a

Important samples.

Although the installation took a long time due to an issue with hand sanitizer, overall it went smoothly.

Later, since all rivers in the country needed to be dredged, they followed suit and built several boats of the same type. However, that was all, and there was no improvement or improvement at all.

"Mr. Qin, this kind of dredger is already a world-class difficult vessel. We can build the same type of dredger, which is already very good. If you want to improve it, how can it be so easy?"

"Of course it's not easy. If it were easy, so many countries in the world have the need to dredge rivers. Why not build them ourselves?" Qin Tao looked at Wang Qianjin: "But we are different from them. We, the Chinese nation, are

With a long history of 5,000 years, we are creative, we have to have what others have, and we have to have what others don’t have, and we have to bring out this spirit!"

Wang Qianjin smiled bitterly: "Mr. Qin, you are right, we have also thought about improving. In order to improve our construction technology, and also because of this demand, we have contacted the Dutch and hope to cooperate with them to build

Our dredger.”

"Dutch people?" Qin Tao smiled and said, "You are really unimproved. You are just sticking your head out and asking someone to chop you."

Wang Qianjin nodded: "Who says otherwise? They came up and demanded a sky-high price of 300 million US dollars. We thought it was too expensive and wanted to bargain. Who would have thought that they went too far. Not only did they not lower the price, they also raised the price.

Five percent!"

When talking about this incident, Wang Qianjin's face turned red. For them, this was a huge humiliation. Although the incident happened last year, they still feel ashamed and angry when they mention it now.

However, what can be done? Who told us that we don’t have this kind of technology? Without technology, we can only be controlled by others!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We only want half the price, 150 million US dollars." Qin Tao said: "If the superior leaders trust us, they will hand over the construction task of this ship.

Give us."

"Taozi, you can't open your mouth like a lion!" Wu Shengli said: "Convert U.S. dollars into RMB, the price is about the same."

Back then, his own father made the donation, and now it's his mother-in-law's turn to come here to bargain. However, Qin Tao no longer hesitates like before. He shook his head firmly: "Half of the price is our cost price. We

It is also to contribute to the motherland. If foreign customers come to order from us, then we will have to ask for a price of 300 million US dollars."

Qin Tao's attitude was very firm.

"So expensive?"

"How much does a modern warship cost? The technology of this combined cutter suction dredger is no less difficult than that of a warship." Qin Tao said: "Its displacement is tens of thousands of tons, and its design is also very complex.

Dredging requires a set of automatic control systems, which we need to develop completely new, as well as its reamers. If we want to be able to cut granite, we need high-hardness reamers, which all need to be newly developed and are very expensive.

At half the price, we might still lose money."

"If it can be made, the price is indeed not expensive." Wang Qianjin said: "But if it cannot be made and we have to order it from abroad, then we will waste precious time and money."

Qin Tao glanced at Wang Qianjin: "Brother, are you so unsure of our own technology?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean." Wang Qianjin was a little embarrassed: "It's really because this technology is too advanced, we, we..."

"We at Mingzhou Shipyard just like to challenge difficult things. Is it difficult to build a natural gas ship? Hasn't it been built by us? Is it difficult to build an aircraft carrier? We will be able to deliver large-tonnage bulk cargo to customers soon.

Other shipyards dare not build boats for fear of breaking into two pieces, but we build them anyway! There is nothing we cannot build."

After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shengli: "According to the international contract model, we stipulate the delivery time of the ship. If we cannot build it by then, we will compensate the ship owner for the loss!"

Wu Shengli nodded: "Okay, with your words, we can rest assured. Place the order now and deliver the ship within a year, even if it takes more than a day!"

For a brand-new ship, it can take several years from design to construction. Wu Shengli proposed to deliver the ship within one year. Of course, he had his own reasons.

The problem in the south must be solved as soon as possible, preferably next year. Therefore, since Qin Tao is so confident and capable, of course he must put some pressure on him.

After hearing what Wu Shengli said, Qin Tao did not hesitate: "Of course there is no problem, the ship will be delivered within a year, but is our ship owner the navy?"

This kind of dredger is a civilian ship, so it is certainly inappropriate to deliver it to the navy. The navy can hide behind it, but it cannot show it.

"The Evil God"

"No, it is affiliated to the Haihe Waterway Bureau."

"Okay, then ask them to sign a contract with us as soon as possible." Qin Tao said: "Our one-year agreement starts from the signing of the contract. Moreover, at least half of our deposit must be paid until the ship is launched.

Pay us the other half.”

This request was a bit excessive, but Wu Shengli did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Of course, no problem, I will follow your request. By the way, where are the comrades from the Haihe Waterway Bureau, have you brought your official seal? If so, now

Just sign the contract and let your company pay the money!"

So fast?

This fellow traveler was shocked by Wu Shengli's vigorous and resolute actions. Although he had an official seal, where was the money? One hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, would be over one billion. If he gave half of the deposit first, that would also be five dollars.

More than 100 million yuan!

With so much money, why don't you have any intention of doing big business? It's like buying cabbage at the vegetable market?

"As for the money issue, you can postpone it for half a month. Just pay us within half a month. Within this half month, we will make the design drawings."

Pictures released in half a month?

This is starting from scratch!

No ship design institute in China dares to boast about this kind of Haikou. Is Mr. Qin too confident?

Of course Qin Tao is very confident, because he has confidence!

When the dredger equipment was brought back, who conducted the research? Yang Dawei!

At the beginning, Yang Dawei had been thinking about this device for a long time and had already figured out the internal structure and principles. He was tortured by a bottle of hand sanitizer.

Now that Yang Dawei is his, it won't be a big problem to let Yang Dawei take charge of this design.

What's more important is that the technical specifications of these dredgers are not mentioned casually by Qin Tao. He is talking about the parameters of the Tianjing dredger. The ship he wants to build is also the Tianjing.

In the time and space before the rebirth, the Sky Whale dredger was a key national project. After the deal with the Dutch suffered a setback, the relevant units found the German VOSTALMG company to design and build it in Huating.

However, after obtaining the design drawings, Qin Tao, as one of the engineers at the time, participated in the review of the drawings. Qin Tao was the first to discover that the German design had serious problems: insufficient displacement, insufficient speed, and equipment installation.

Defects etc.
