Azar did not object, he just watched all this calmly, looking forward to the next good show. Can the Kimchi people succeed?
Of course it’s impossible!
Since it was just a replacement, they acted very quickly. The replacement work was completed almost within a week. This shows that the shipbuilding industry of South Kimchi Country is also very strong.
On the dock, two trucks carrying hazardous chemicals drove over again, preparing for the second pre-cooling test. Many people stood nearby, waiting for the next filling experiment.
"We have reinforced the liquid cargo fence system this time, and there will definitely be no cracks." Zheng Yishan said to Azar on the side: "We will ensure the quality. We have built many liquefied gas ships over the years and have rich experience.
, Moreover, we built liquefied gas ships earlier than the East!"
Cui Taegen personally boarded the liquefied gas ship and commanded from the most conspicuous position. He knew that this time must not fail. If something went wrong this time, their shipbuilding industry in South Kimchi Country would be greatly destroyed.
The blow!
"Attention, get ready for nitrogen purging!" Cui Taegen shouted loudly.
Since this is a high-risk operation, the radio talking machine may cause sparks when working, so we can only rely on people to shout. His voice is very loud and can be heard clearly by the whole audience.
The pipe was opened, compressed nitrogen entered the pipe, and a sizzling sound was heard.
Half an hour later.
"The nitrogen purging operation has been completed! The data on each pressure gauge, temperature gauge, dew point measuring instrument, and sensor are completely normal!"
Just be normal! Zheng Yishan's mood gradually relaxed. The first step went smoothly, and there will be no problems in the second and third steps. Everything will be normal!
"Attention, prepare to add low-temperature liquid nitrogen and perform pre-cooling operations! The temperature of the liquid cargo fence system must be reduced to minus 140 degrees, and the dew point temperature must be reduced to minus 40 degrees!"
White smoke emerged from the nozzle of the liquefied nitrogen truck, and the docking was completed instantly. The cold liquid nitrogen flowed into the liquid cargo fence system, quickly cooling everything along the way.
Each thermometer is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting lower and lower, and finally reaching a limit.
"everything is normal!"
normal!
In the pre-cooling process, the introduction of low-temperature nitrogen is the most important step! As long as this step is done properly, there will naturally be no problems with the subsequent filling of LNG.
The big stone in Zheng Yishan's heart finally fell to the ground. Well, it's over. The terrible nightmare is finally over!
"All monitoring points are completely normal and no leakage has been observed!"
“Fill up the LNG!”
As long as this step is completed, the test of the liquid cargo fence system is over. Then you can wait until all construction is completed and drive to the LNG terminal for testing!
Everything is normal! Zheng Yishan took a long breath.
The filling of LNG began. This tank of LNG looked like a lot on the car. On the ship, it only covered the bottom of the liquid cargo fence system, which was a drop in the bucket.
The liquefied natural gas flowed along the pipeline and into the natural gas ship. Zheng Yishan was very satisfied there: "Mr. Azar, we specially designed a new liquefied natural gas pump. Whether it is filling or pumping out, the time required is very short.
."
Natural gas is a gas, but liquefied natural gas is a liquid. This thing also needs something like a water pump to extract it. However, this water pump has to work at minus 80 to 90 degrees or even more than 100 degrees, which requires good low-temperature performance.
Of course, not only water pumps, pipelines, valves, etc. all need to work at this temperature, Nanjingguo has been exposed to LNG ships for a longer time. They have already realized the independent matching of these products, and can also use them according to the
needs improvement.
At this time, hearing Zheng Yishan's words, Alza nodded: "Well, shortening this time is of great significance to LNG ships."
Whether it is transportation or transshipment, liquefied natural gas is very dangerous, so the shorter the time required, the better.
Especially when loading and unloading cargo at the port, if something goes wrong, it would be similar to a hydrogen bomb explosion.
At this moment, suddenly, someone shouted in surprise: "The dew point temperature of No. 47 is decreasing rapidly!"
This shows what?
Everyone's expressions changed.
"No, it's absolutely impossible. The temperature sensor over there must be broken!" Cui Taigen said: "Everything should be genuine, don't worry about it, keep filling!"
He would never believe that his newly developed liquid cargo fence system would malfunction again. It must be a sensor failure!
"Forty-six, forty-eight, the dew point temperatures in several nearby areas are dropping rapidly!"
One is a malfunction, but what about two or three? Are they all malfunctioning?
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded.
For the safety of LNG ships, a large number of alarms are installed inside. Once a leak occurs, they will quickly alarm and are very sensitive.
Now that the alarm is going off, can it still be a sensor failure?
The driver of the LNG truck immediately ended the filling. He didn't care how important the ship here was. He only cared about the safety of his own car. While he was operating, a puff of white smoke appeared on the breathable mast of the LNG truck.
superior!
The leak must be a leak of liquefied natural gas!
Seeing the white smoke appearing there, Zheng Yishan looked a little dazed and seemed to have ignored the siren.
The sirens have gotten louder!
When it was pre-cooled last time, it was just a leak of liquid nitrogen. This thing cannot burn. As long as it does not cause frostbite, there is no big problem. But now, liquefied natural gas has been poured into it, and half of the car has been filled.
A leak of dozens of tons of liquefied natural gas will cause dire consequences!
Can the leak be stopped?
Of course not! If it is a pipeline leak, just turn off the pipeline valve, but this is a leak in the liquid cargo fence system, and it is a leak in the container storing liquefied natural gas. Can we still go to the site to remedy it?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, if there is a slight leak at sea, it doesn't matter. After all, the ship is moving, and the leakage will be discharged. But now, the liquefied gas ship is at the dock.
The edges are fixed, so if this leaks out, it will quickly gather!
Fire truck sirens sounded, workers began to be dispersed, and the entire port seemed busy.
Azar took one last look at the liquefied gas ship and knew that the SCA ship in the South Kimchi Country was completely finished. There was no need to go to sea for operation. It was only tested at the dock and it encountered such a huge problem. There will be no ships in the future.
Don dare to use it.
No, if the compensation is tripled, shipowners from all over the world will probably come here, right? He followed the flow of people evacuating and turned to look at Zheng Yishan, who was waiting stupidly.
Brother, you're screwed!
"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zheng Yishan gritted his teeth: "Cui Taegen! Go in and take a look!"
Go in? What a joke!
If it is a liquefied gas ship produced by an island country, it uses a MOSS tank. The tank is spherical and the hull cross-section is trapezoidal, so that there is space between the tank and the hull. Now this membrane-type liquefied gas ship has a liquid cargo fence.
The system and the hull are closely connected. Where there is space for people to go in and take a look, it relies on a large number of sensors. Only when the temperature inside returns to normal temperature can people go in and take a look.
"Quick, what are you waiting for?"
Cui Taegen ignored him. It was no longer the time to think about this. We had to leave here!
However, Zheng Yishan angrily shouted to his men: "Tear down the bridge plate. If he doesn't check the fault for me, don't come down!"
The ship was ready and connected to the dock by the bridge plate. Now, Zheng Yishan was furious and wanted Cui Taegen to check the fault immediately and remove the bridge plate to save him from running back.
"You are committing murder!" Cui Taegen watched as the bridge planks on one side were taken away, and he could only run to the other side. His feet were running quickly on the deck. Suddenly, there was a strange feeling under his feet. When he lowered his head,
As he read on, his expression suddenly changed.
The leak point should be here, because the steel plate here has...
His shoes were stuck to the steel plate and he could no longer move. He was running again, so his body leaned forward and he lay on the deck.
A heart-wrenching coldness swept through his body, and he let out a scream.
"Ah...help!"
The voice disappeared, and his whole body was frozen to the bone, like an ice sculpture. White frost began to appear on his eyebrows and mouth. He maintained the posture of calling for help, but could no longer speak.
.
On the pier, Zheng Yishan was shocked when he saw this scene. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ran outside quickly. It was terrible, so terrible.
There was no explosion, and the fire brigade successfully resolved the crisis. However, the accident caused one casualty, and the designer of the SCA liquid cargo fence system died!
The incident quickly spread around the world.
"Brother Tao, as you guessed, their liquid cargo fence system is unreliable and there was a problem during pre-cooling." Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao in the warm office.
"Well, it's different from what I guessed." Qin Tao said: "I originally thought they were going to have an accident during the first transportation, but I didn't expect that it didn't work before it was the sea trial's turn."
Qin Tao guessed the ending, but not the process.
According to his memory, the people of South Korea were dissatisfied that the patent fees had been stolen by the French, so they decided to be self-reliant and developed their own liquid cargo fence system, but no one dared to use it, so their own transportation company used it, and then used it in their own transportation company.
It leaked during the first transportation. I couldn't repair it after I got it back, so I scrapped it directly.
The people of South Kimchi are definitely more anxious now, and their technology is less mature. They can't even pass the port test. This is not good. They should delay for a while, build more liquefied gas ships, invest more money, and wait until
When failures occur, they lose more money.
However, three times the compensation is enough. What should the offline heavy industry do?
"Next, their government should take action," Zhao Ling said.
"Yes, that's for sure." Qin Tao said: "Two of their shipbuilding companies have already collapsed. If this one also fails, then they will completely lose their shipbuilding industry, so what we face next is not
A simple line generation heavy industry is not the line generation group behind it, but the entire country behind it, but that’s what makes it interesting.”
Back then, Soros was able to shake the entire Southeast Asia on his own, which was based on huge capital. But now, Qin Tao also has this ability, and the Mingzhou Group has become a behemoth, enough to shake some countries.
economy.
It's easy to cripple a small line generation heavy industry, but there is no other way. Who told them not to keep a low profile? They actually want to build an aircraft carrier and a 10,000-ton battleship. If not, who will you do?
"Brother Tao, if we do this, will it attract hostility or even blockage from others?"
"If we don't do this, will there be no hostility?" Qin Tao smiled: "I don't know how many people have illusions about our Mingzhou Group and want to bring us down, but they have failed because we have already
We are strong enough, and we have a great motherland behind us!"
"Yes, there is a strong motherland standing behind us." Zhao Ling agreed. At this moment, she felt a flame burning in her chest.
At this time, Line Generation Heavy Industry was already in mourning.
There was a deathly silence in the conference room. Zheng Yishan looked at his subordinates, who lowered their heads and said nothing.
"We have received a total of twelve orders for liquefied gas ships. The average price of a liquefied gas ship is 170 million. If all compensation is paid, it will be 6 billion. At present, our line generation heavy industry only has 300 million US dollars in its account. Who can tell
What should I do next?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You are the big boss, and now something like this happens, what should we do?
No one answered, this was a dead end, and they seemed to have a premonition that this matter was not simple, and someone might be tricking them behind the scenes! Their orders were increasing. When they started construction, they had ten ships, but they later accepted them.
With two orders for a total of twelve ships, they thought it was due to the popularity of liquefied gas ships like theirs. They would never have thought that those people came here for their compensation!
"Park Taixian, tell me!" Zheng Yishan began to ask questions.
"The biggest problem in this matter is Choi Tae-geun. They rushed it to us without mature research and development. He must bear full responsibility!"
Yes, if we talk about the culprit, it must be Cui Taegen, the engineer. However, Cui Taegen is already dead. The leaked liquefied gas sprayed onto the deck. The temperature of the deck at that time was estimated to be minus fifty or sixty degrees. Cui Taegen's body was pressed against the deck.
He was immediately frozen to death.
However, the insurance company refused to compensate because Choi Tae-geun was frozen. They said that with the development of human technology, Choi Tae-geun will be thawed one day and will be alive by then. Since he is not dead, he cannot receive accident insurance benefits.
Is it useful to say Choi Tae-geun? It has no effect at all!
"Huang Youxian, tell me." Zheng Yishan called his name again.
"Currently, our best way is to explain to our customers that our ships have temporarily encountered problems and cannot start construction immediately, especially for customers who order follow-up orders. We have not started construction yet, and even if the contract has not come into effect, we have not
If we cause them any losses, we will refund their deposit and compensate them several hundred thousand as interest."
Zheng Yishan nodded, this is all he can do now, discuss with the customer first.
Although the contract has been signed, when encountering special circumstances, we can still discuss it with the customer.
"We can also transfer the order to the previous liquid cargo fence system, and the extra cost will be borne by us. The delivery date of the first few ships may be delayed, but the subsequent ones should be delivered according to the original plan. After all, we
Have construction skills and experience.”
In short, all methods have one goal: to refuse triple compensation!
Their idea is great, but can customers agree to it?
The first customer set an example.
Zheng Yishan took Huang Youxian and flew to Belgium, Europe, to meet his first client.
Flatt Company is located in a port city. The whole city is not big, but it looks clean and tidy. Many of the ships waiting to load and unload cargo at the port are spray-painted with Flatt Company's logo, telling the story of the huge scale of the company.
In the large conference room, Kami Sigron warmly received the visitors from the Southern Kimchi Country.
"Mr. Siglon, I'm very sorry, there is something wrong with our liquefied gas ship."
"It doesn't matter. This is your first time trying a new technology, and problems are inevitable." Sigron was very generous.
"We are now unable to deliver the ship on time. We hope you can give us some more time. We will build a liquefied gas ship using French patented technology to meet your needs. As for the losses caused by the delay in construction, we are willing to
Pay compensation.”
"It doesn't matter. You don't have to continue building it. Just give us three times the compensation. Our ship is under a contract signed for US$150 million. Just compensate us US$450 million."
The first one was launched at a low price, so now the compensation will be less.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sigron, our company doesn't have that much money. We are here sincerely because we want to find a result that satisfies both of us."
"No money? How can a company as big as yours have no money? Your shipyard has so many assets. Not to mention compensation for us, even subsequent compensation is enough."
Zheng Yishan and Huang Youxian's faces changed. This man only wanted money!
"Mr. Siglon, after signing the contract, you did not contribute any money. This first ship was built with commission from subsequent orders. We are willing to compensate you for a new one. This is the greatest sincerity."
Yes." Zheng Yishan said.
The other party didn't spend anything, and in the end, they still made 450 million! This is too much, can't we resolve it amicably?
"That's all in accordance with the contract, and the commission is also given by you." Sigron said: "We will act in accordance with the contract. If you do not abide by the contract, then we will go to the London court to meet."
If it really comes to that, the credibility of the South Korean shipbuilding industry will be completely lost, and they will not get any orders from Europe!
