Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 209 Southeast Shipyard

Zhong Cheng is more concerned about the research and development of Taiyi alloy, which uses 钅kong-310 as the core raw material.

Together with Lin Wei, he combined all possible elements in the periodic table with 钅kong-310 in the Taixu experimental system.

It's not just a one-to-one combination, but more an attempt to combine various elements with Bekong-310.

Because it is a superheavy element and has powerful field characteristics, 钅kong-310 is simply a panacea for refining alloys.

It can be combined with most alkali metal elements, alkaline earth metals, halogen elements, rare gases, nonmetals, transition elements, etc.

Even all lanthanide metals and actinide metals can be combined with it, and the stability of heavy actinide elements after einsteinium can be maintained.

Billionium-310 can form billions of alloys with different properties. Of course, most of them are useless, but there are also some alloys that are very useful to human beings.

Such as high temperature resistant alloys, low temperature resistant alloys, liquid memory alloys, strong magnetic alloys and so on.

With the Taixu Experimental System, the complicated research and development work that was unimaginable before can now be carried out.

Still found the alloy that Zhong Cheng wanted in the combination of Lin Wei's favorite titanium metal and 钅kong-310.

This new type of titanium-cobalt-chromium-dysprosium-sprotonium-space alloy is very outstanding in terms of hardness, with a Mohs hardness of 12, surpassing the hardness of diamond, the hardest substance at present, with a Mohs hardness of 10.

But this is not a big deal. The hardness of this new alloy will increase when it is energized. When the voltage is 220 volts and the current is 5 amps, the hardness reaches 13 on the Mohs scale.

Continue to increase the power input, the hardness will increase.

This new type of alloy not only has high hardness, but also has a melting point of over 99 degrees Celsius, and has a reflection performance of more than [-]% of light. It is absolutely the best mech shell material.

However, except for the three metals of titanium, cobalt and chromium, which are relatively cheap, the other three are extremely expensive. Although there are fewer components in the alloy, the cost of the alloy is still sky-high.

Although this material named Taiyi Alloy 101 is not as expensive as Bekong-310, it still costs about 5000 yuan per gram, or 500 million yuan per kilogram.

If a White Tiger Mecha needs 200 kilograms of Taiyi Alloy 101, then the cost of the shell material alone will reach 10 billion yuan.

Zhong Cheng and Lin Wei had a lot of headaches because it was completely beyond their budget.

If it is a white tiger mech worth several billion yuan, Zhong Cheng doesn't know whether he dares to report to the country.

There is only one way left for them, to find a way to reduce the cost of Taiyi Alloy 101.

2019 9 Month 18 Day.

When Zhong Cheng was still thinking hard in front of the light brain in the temporary experimental center at the Nuwa project site, he received a notice from Dean Ye.

Dean Ye asked him to rush to the Southeast Research Institute tomorrow to participate in a seminar on the new aircraft carrier construction plan.

Southeast Research Institute is a new ship research and development center established by Southeast Shipyard in 2016, and Ye Wenhao once worked there.

The Southeast Shipyard was formerly known as the Southeast Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, which was founded in the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1865). It is currently the largest shipbuilding factory in China.

Now the Southeast Shipyard has been relocated from the banks of the Huangpu River to Changxing Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

After receiving this notice, Zhong Cheng was mixed with worry and joy, the worry was that it affected the research and development of Taiyi Alloy, and the joy was that he finally waited until this day.

Six years ago, he heard about the first domestically-made aircraft carrier from Li Changfeng, and he came up with the idea of ​​designing an aircraft carrier himself.

As the ultimate conventional weapon of mankind, the aircraft carrier has always been the benchmark of the military strength of a major country.

Over the years, he has been thinking about the future design of the aircraft carrier, and now he has a relatively mature idea.

Zhong Cheng put down the research and development work of Taiyi Alloy and asked Lin Wei to continue with the research and development team, while he took Zhou Hu to Changxing Island.

Changxing Island is the closest one among the three islands of Chongming to Haicheng City, only half an hour's drive away.

The south coast of Changxing Island has a deep-water coastline of nearly 20 kilometers, with a water depth of 12 to 16 meters, the deepest part reaching 22 meters, and a width of about 1000 meters.

The water regime is stable and there is no sedimentation. It is suitable for the construction of docks, port machinery, shipbuilding, ship repairing, and logistics transfer bases.

The Changxing Shipbuilding Base of Jiangnan Shipyard is located on the south bank of Changxing Island.

The Changxing shipbuilding base uses a coastline of 3.8 kilometers and has built 4 large docks with an annual shipbuilding production capacity of 450 million tons and a total of 3 shipbuilding production lines.

It is the largest shipbuilding base in my country with the most advanced facilities and the most international competitiveness. The largest dock is 580 meters long and 120 meters wide, which is enough to build large ships, including aircraft carriers.

The next morning.

Bi Fang No. [-] flew over Haicheng, and arrived at Changxing Island after a while.

Under the guidance of the ground personnel, Bi Fang No. [-] parked in the open-air parking lot behind a huge dock, directly occupying three parking spaces.

Zhong Cheng, Zhou Hu and others got off the plane, and they were greeted by Dean Chen and his team from the Southeast Research Institute.

Dean Chen arranged for someone to take Li Shaojie to rest, and he personally took Zhong Cheng and Zhou Hu to the conference room of the R&D institute.

Along the way, Dean Chen introduced the history of Southeast Shipyard to Zhong Cheng.

During the Westernization Movement, the Qing government purchased the Qiji Iron Works opened by foreigners in the Hongkou area of ​​Shanghai in 1865, and merged the original Liangyang Artillery Bureau into a new factory, which was named "Jiangnan Machine Manufacturing General Bureau". Specializes in the manufacture of ship guns, munitions and various machines.

China's first lathe was born in the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, China's first steam-propelled warship "Huiji" and the first iron-clad warship "Jinou" were built by itself, China's first rifle, the first The first steel cannon, the first pound of smokeless gunpowder, and the first furnace of steel in China...

As the "No. [-] factory in China", Southeast Shipyard has witnessed the vicissitudes of a century and a half. the cradle.

Zhong Cheng was full of emotion, but as an employee of Huaxia Industry, this was the first time he knew about this "time-honored brand" in the industry, and he also lamented that the media had too little publicity for this Huaxia No. [-] Factory.

But Dean Chen also said at the end that "China's No. [-] Factory" is already a history.

The current "China No. [-] Factory" is already the Red Star Heavy Industry Group, and it is also the No. [-] factory in the world.

Red Star Heavy Industry Group is the pride of Huaxia people and the benchmark of Huaxia industrial people!
In fact, the parking lot where Bifang No. 10 landed is very close to the conference room of the R&D Institute, and it takes only [-] minutes to walk there.

Since there was still some time left before the meeting, Dean Chen took Zhong Cheng to visit the No. [-] Dock.

Everything here is very large. Gantry cranes, cranes, dock pump rooms, dock doors, cold processing equipment, machining equipment, etc. are all several sizes larger than Zhong Cheng's usual equipment.

Zhou Hu said that the Southeast Shipyard is the real heavy industry, and Hongxing Heavy Industry is a little lighter.

However, the degree of automation of these equipment is very low, and there are still a large number of operators on site to carry out dangerous high-altitude operations and operations in confined spaces, and the assembly efficiency is not high.

Shipyards should be where industrial intelligent robots come in!
