Great Power Ship

Chapter 301 [-]-ton Dry Dock

Of course, the reason why the superiors chose Qin Gangsheng and Wen Dawei was not without reason.

Needless to say, Qin Gangsheng, a businessman on Hong Kong Island, has a strong commercial attribute.

Although Wen Dawei's Zhujiang factory has seen a boom in the business of "special industrial products" in the past two years, it has not lost its civilian product business. The razor blades and hydrofoil surfboards produced by using its technology have become synonymous with the industry.

In addition, Zhujiang Factory is constantly committed to the research and development and exploration of civil ships, and it has commercial attributes that other domestic manufacturers do not have.

The purchase of the Melbourne aircraft carrier itself is a purely commercial act.

I bought this ship and disassembled it for waste utilization. Except for a series of precious metals, most of the ship's steel will be made into razor blades after being remelted.

This is clearly stated in the contract by the Australians. Apart from dismantling and applying it to the civilian field, it cannot be used or researched in any other way.

As the saying goes, business is business, since it is purely commercial, then use purely commercial units to connect.

Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory has a good business atmosphere. After the transformation of shipbuilding, the largest bulk carrier has been built so far with a capacity of 2500 tons.

With the official completion of the 5-ton dry dock that took two years to complete this year, the last piece of the puzzle of Zhujiang Shipbuilding Factory was officially completed.

Yes, today's Zhujiang factory finally has its own dry dock, but it has expanded a lot compared to the 3 tons planned at the beginning, reaching 5 tons.

This is mainly to meet the tailor-made follow-up model of Zhujiang Plant's 8200-ton full container ship. After all, the maximum tonnage of this series of ship types in Zhujiang Plant will reach 4.2 tons. If you are in a hurry to expand or build a new building, it is better to take advantage of the abundant funds now and the support of the superiors to make a big one.

So the 5-ton dry dock of Zhujiang Plant was born.

Its total length is 233.2 meters and its width is 40 meters.

It is equipped with auxiliary facilities such as pump room, substation, boiler room air compressor station and oxygen station, among which the lifting equipment produced by Zhujiang Electromechanical has the most special configuration.

In addition to two overhead gantry cranes with a lifting capacity of 30 tons and a lifting capacity of 150 tons, there is also a gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 500 tons.

The total investment exceeds 4 million RMB.

This configuration is more than enough for a 5-ton dry dock, even a 20-ton dry dock.

But it is precisely because of this that the superiors chose Zhujiang Factory as the landing site for the Melbourne aircraft carrier.

So far, no [-]-ton ship has been launched. The newcomer in the pure shipbuilding industry is so cute that people think that even if Zhujiang Factory gets an aircraft carrier, it will not be able to do anything.

On the other hand, the Zhujiang factory is extremely strong in hardware facilities, which can satisfy the superiors to switch to any position and angle of the aircraft carrier.

The factory that satisfies these two points at the same time is the only factory in Zhujiang that has been in China for several times. This place is not an outsider, so where else can it be put here?

Of course, this is also related to the aircraft carrier Melbourne itself. The aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of only 1.4 tons has a total length of more than 200 meters. Generally, a 3-ton dock can’t hold it. Too much waste of resources.

So no matter how you choose, the Zhujiang factory cannot escape.

If you can't run away, borrow it.

Wen Dawei's mentality is super balanced.

In this way, after discussing some details with Qin Gangsheng about the construction of Brunei and Malaysia shipyards, Wen Dawei went back to rest, and returned to Zhujiang factory with Liu Jian the next day.

A few days later, Wen Dawei proposed to hold an enlarged meeting of the factory party committee, and at the meeting he notified that the Zhujiang factory would be responsible for dismantling the "Melbourne" aircraft carrier that was decommissioned and scrapped in Australia.

After Wen Dawei finished the related briefing, the whole meeting place fell silent.

In the next moment, the entire venue exploded with a bang~~~ as if a pot exploded.

Some are unbelievable, some are inexplicably excited, some are at a loss, and some are too excited...

But no matter what, the atmosphere at the scene was more joyful than signing a big order of 10 billion US dollars.

That is an aircraft carrier, one of the three top ship types in the world.

So far, there are no more than seven countries in the world that can independently build aircraft carriers.

In fact, there are only two countries that can independently build medium and large aircraft carriers without resorting to external forces. One is the United States and the other is the Soviet Union.

France said that Potian can only be counted as half, because many key equipment and materials on the aircraft carrier cannot be handled by the French themselves, and they need to be completed by American suppliers.

As for China, there has been a development plan for aircraft carriers since the period of the Republic of China. After liberation, the navy proposed several times to study aircraft carriers, but all of them ended without cause due to various reasons.

But no matter what, as a type of strategic equipment for sea and air control, it is still necessary to study it, not to mention that as a practitioner in the field of shipbuilding, who does not have a dream of an aircraft carrier in mind.

Therefore, the backbones of the Zhujiang factory who will be with each other are like children who get their favorite toy, and they start to dance with joy, even if the toy is a second-hand rag...

"Uh... Secretary Wen..."

I don't know how long it took, but the venue finally quieted down. At this time, Chief Engineer Fan Jiahang suddenly asked with some uncertainty: "I don't know, can we also participate and participate?"

The "participation" that Fan Jiahang refers to is not the physical work of dismantling, but the ability to conduct systematic research on the entire hull, and it is best to be able to reversely draw specific plans or even engineering drawings.

You must know that this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Zhujiang Factory. Not only can you accumulate experience in the design and construction of aircraft carriers, but you can also contribute to the future domestically-made aircraft carriers that the Navy is thinking about.

Even if it is not used on an aircraft carrier, it can make Zhujiang Factory more comfortable in the research and development of civilian and other military ships.

After all, there are too many things to learn about an aircraft carrier, even if it is just an empty shell.

It’s just that this key research process, as the main force of dismantling, may not be able to get in the Zhujiang Factory. You must know that this is something that the Navy has worked hard to get, and it is bound to call experts and scholars in the field of ships from all over the country to participate. Be involved together.

In front of this group of authorities, the junior at Zhujiang factory can't get on the stage at all, what should we do then?
Is it really just a coolie to do odd jobs?

None of the people who could join the factory party committee were fools, so they naturally understood what Fan Jiahang meant, so they all looked at Wen Dawei.

Wen Dawei shook his head first: "Theoretically, we really have nothing to do..."

He grinned and showed a bright smile: "It's not enough that we have accumulated some wealth in the past two years, even if we can't rot all the meat in the pot, it can't make the cooked duck fly away, right?

Mr. Fan, do you think this makes sense? "
