Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 60 The Big Whale on the Beach

"It's amazing, it's really amazing!" Early the next morning, Liu Minggang ran over excitedly. After seeing Qin Tao, his face was full of excitement: "Taozi, according to your request, we use the submarine's A batch of steel was made for the pressure hull, and the thickness of this batch of steel is only 4 mm, but the yield is higher than the previous batch of 1 cm steel!"

   As he spoke, he handed over the steel inspection report to Qin Tao.

  The thickness of the steel plate used by the ship has a great relationship with the tonnage and the navigation area. Generally speaking, the larger the tonnage, the thicker the steel plate, and the demand for inland ships is lower than that of ocean ships.

  Dredgers use steel with a thickness of 1 centimeter, and freighters with a thickness of more than 10,000 tons need to use about 3 centimeters.

   As for the 4 mm thick steel, it looks too thin, even if it is used as the shell of a speedboat, it will make people feel thin.

Therefore, Liu Minggang was a little worried at first. This speedboat was to be used as a cruise ship, and it could carry more than a hundred people. If something went wrong, it would cost more than a hundred people. Well, you have to go in.

   As a result, he was very surprised that the 4 mm thick steel was actually stronger than the 1 cm steel!

Qin Tao took the report and didn't read it at all. He stuffed it into his pocket and glanced at the excited Liu Minggang: "Uncle Liu, the pressure hull of the submarine is the best marine steel in the world. Even if it is rebuilt, its performance will be improved." The decline is not comparable to ordinary marine steel, and now, this batch of steel is the best marine steel produced in our country, even the Huating No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant cannot compare."

   "That's right, that's what the masters invited from Huating also said." Liu Minggang said, "After the forming inspection, they were also shocked. They said that this kind of steel can be sold at a high price."

   "Really?" Qin Tao looked at Liu Minggang meaningfully.

"If others want it, they will definitely have to raise the price, but if you supply it to our shipyard, then of course you have to pay the original price, and the priority is to ensure the supply from our shipyard. You uncle Liu is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges." Liu Minggang said quickly.

Qin Tao nodded: "Uncle Liu, there are three other submarines of the same type, and they will probably arrive soon. The steel plates removed from them are divided into different categories. You can sell half of the steel plates after the pressure hull is returned to the furnace, and we can keep half of them. .”

  If Liu Minggang dared to raise the price for the shipyard, Qin Tao could sell those scrap steel to others.

   Now, Qin Tao wants to build a shipbuilding industry chain in Mingzhou. It is necessary to support the Mingzhou shipyard. However, if Liu Minggang dares to forget his roots, then Qin Tao can sell those high-quality scrap steel to others at any time.

  Everyone is on the same line. To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness.

   "Okay, okay." Liu Minggang nodded again and again, secretly grateful for his quick response.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, you are familiar with Huating Shipyard. Hire a welder for me. You don't need to stay here. You just come here to train us. The price is up to him. However, there must be various domestic other professional credentials."

Qin Tao looked at the slipway, where a large group of welders were practicing their welding skills. What Qin Tao said yesterday gave them a sense of urgency and mission. The spark of the arc made Qin Tao Tao was very moved. These older workers were shining with the brilliance of love and dedication.

   "Okay, of course there is no problem." Liu Minggang said, "It's on your Uncle Liu."

   At this moment, puffs of black smoke rose from the sea in the distance. With a thought, Qin Tao ran over quickly, covered the eastern sun with his hands, and looked over.

  One submarine was driven by its own power, and the other two were towed by tugboats. In this way, the three submarines moved slowly. Even if the tugboat is running at full power, it is impossible to reach a high speed. A submarine with its own power is estimated to have only one engine that can turn, so the speed is not fast. The three submarines have finally arrived at their destination after a long journey at sea. cemetery.

   "Let them drive, continue to accelerate, and rush directly on the river beach on our left! Hire some tugboats and push them from behind!" Qin Tao shouted loudly.

When the first ship was dismantled, the shipyard was used, after all, it was the safest way, but after that, their shipyards were all useful. The big shipyard needed to build dredgers, and the small shipyard needed to build catamarans and naval speedboats, so , these three submarines can only rush directly to the river beach.

  In many underdeveloped countries, ship breaking is done in this way, and even in 2020, some small ship breaking yards in China can still be found doing this, with the lowest cost.

  Qin Tao started to direct.

  The river beach on the side of the shipyard became busy. Some people were digging sunken pits to support the submarine firmly, some were looking for a tugboat, and some stood there watching the arrival of the three submarines.

  Even if they don't build ships, they just dismantle ships, and they can live a good life!

  Qin Baoshan also ran over from the berth, watching the three submarines slowly approaching, feeling overwhelmed.

   "Old man, we have to recruit a group of people next." Qin Tao said.

They want to build and dismantle ships. The existing manpower is seriously insufficient. Since dismantling ships has no technical content, the main problem is safety. Therefore, it is entirely possible to find a group of temporary workers to help. Concentrate on shipbuilding.

   "Well, we are going to recruit a group of people." Qin Baoshan said: "However, we can't mess around for the time being."

   "Why?"

   "Let's check it out first, maybe there's…"

  My father is smart enough, but I don’t need to worry about this kind of thing. Now, the navy must be on the way, let them go up to find it first.

The first submarine with its own power came up first, the water became shallower and shallower, and more and more parts of it were exposed above the water, just like a big whale, its huge body slid onto the river beach, After jumping more than ten meters on the river beach, it stopped firmly in a dug pit.

   It's like a whale committing suicide. Its wet body is exposed to the sun, and water is gurgling from the drains on both sides.

This is Lao Maozi's unique double-hull submarine structure. The outside is a non-pressure-resistant hull, and all kinds of unimportant equipment are placed in the outer shell. The inner layer is a pressure-resistant hull, and the personnel live inside. Such benefits Just in case there is a collision, the loss is the outer non-pressure shell. If there is an enemy torpedo to attack, if the charge is insufficient, the inner shell will not be damaged.

   That kind of super monster, there is even a distance of two or three meters between the inner and outer shells, and huge mushroom bombs can be put in it.

  The remaining two submarines were pushed to the river beach by the tugboat. When all three submarines were stranded on the river beach, it was like three whales basking in the sun together.

  Navy 212, has appeared at the gate of the shipyard.

   PS: As mentioned above, the Mingzhou Shipyard is located at the mouth of the river, so the river is near and the sea is far away.
