Great warships

Chapter 83
Mingzhou Shipyard.

The sparks of the electric arc flew, and the berth was busy.

"Sister Cong Ju, why hasn't Brother Tao come back?" Nie Shiyu was beside Cong Ju, rambling.

Originally, the two went together, but when they came back, only sister Cong Ju was there. This made Nie Shiyu very dissatisfied, and came to annoy Cong Ju every day.

"We separated at the Huating Shipyard. He went to help the navy repair the imported equipment. He probably hasn't repaired it yet." Cong Ju said, "Shiyu, have you finished your homework? When your brother comes back, he finds that you haven't done it yet." After finishing the homework, I will criticize you."

"I've finished it a long time ago, and I've already started previewing the knowledge for the next semester." Nie Shiyu said: "My brother will definitely praise me if he knows it. Sister Cong Ju, do you want to call Huating Shipyard?"

"The shipyard doesn't know either. They went to the naval base." Cong Ju said.

While talking, a voice sounded in the distance: "So fast, you actually started welding the body?"

"Brother!" Nie Shiyu was extremely excited, and ran up to Qin Tao, and then gave him a hug.

"Shi Yu, let go, there are so many people watching."

"No, I let go, and you ran away again."

"Good, be obedient."

"Not good. I'm on winter vacation, and I thought I could be with you every day, but in the end, you disappeared again. You have to promise me that you will take me with you when you go out in the future, and I will continue to be your secretary."

"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you, let go!"

Qin Tao got rid of Nie Shiyu's embrace, walked onto the berth, looked at the meaningful smile on Cong Ju's face, and said, "Why are you laughing? Is it so funny to see me make a fool of yourself?"

Cong Ju rolled his eyes at him: "Are you in big trouble this time?"

"Where, what are you talking about, isn't this ship built too fast?" Qin Tao brought the topic back.

Cong Ju knew that Qin Tao had gone to the capital. The questioning just now was obviously a big deal for watching the excitement. escaped back.

"Yes, before the New Year's Eve, this passenger ship can be launched. The engine was just installed yesterday."

"So fast?"

"Is this fast? How many days have you been walking?"

"Cough, cough, let me see." Qin Tao jumped onto the passenger ship under construction.

Since this catamaran was built as a passenger ship for civilian use, the building on it is also very simple. From the upper part of the hull, that is, the hull, dozens of windows are opened on the side, and then, on the upper floor, look back. shrink to form a second-floor cockpit, and the space behind the cockpit is the balcony of the passenger ship.

The structure is simple, and it is easy to weld, but the interior decoration will take some time.

Since it is a passenger ship, it must meet the requirements of the passengers. There must be comfortable seats and toilets. Even if there is no canteen, there must be a place for sales. These interior decorations will take a while .

However, Qin Tao couldn't wait.

"When the entire hull is welded and the operating system is debugged, let's go down and try to see how fast we can run," Qin Tao said.

"Hey, you should know that the launching of a ship is very grand, so there must be a launching ceremony?" Cong Ju reminded him.

"Isn't it just throwing a bottle?" Qin Tao said, "We have plenty of bottles."

"The shipowner must be present for this."

"After they come, let's have another launching ceremony." Qin Tao said, "It's a Chinese New Year celebration, so we're ashamed to disturb them."

Cong Ju was speechless.

Qin Tao has already got into the cabin.

The upper floor is still being welded, and the lower floor is said to have no air circulation. However, since this is a passenger ship, a row of portholes has been opened above. The cold wind keeps blowing down from the portholes, and the air in the lower floor is also very fresh.

Qin Tao continued to walk down and came to the inside of the disc. There was an engine in the front, a reducer in the middle, and two transmission shafts in the back, which were connected to the two water jets in the back.

Originally, Qin Tao planned to do it himself in China, but his superiors attached great importance to it, and he was afraid that what he made would be unqualified, so he used imported water jet propulsion for all of them.

Since Qin Tao made the plan according to the size of this water jet propeller, the openings from the front water inlet to the rear water jet are very suitable.

"This is the first time I have seen a water jet propeller. When we installed it, we were all surprised. We thought it would take a lot of adjustments, but unexpectedly, it is a beautiful match. Taozi, your design is perfect. No shortage of."

Cong Ju was very emotional.

Although Cong Ju built many boats, all of them used propellers. This kind of water jet propulsion was the first time that it matched perfectly without any adjustments, which showed Qin Tao's profound design skills.

"This is also because the quality of the welding is high, and there is no difference." Qin Tao said.

"No, it's not just a match in installation. For example, in terms of power output, one engine drives two sprinklers, which just meets the input power of the sprinklers. The power is also so consistent, which shows that you are familiar with these things. what."

"Of course, when I was in college, I read books and researched materials in the library almost every day. This catamaran is actually a design work of mine when I was in college."

Cong Ju nodded: "Going to college is good."

"You can also go to college. After going to college, with more theoretical knowledge, you will be able to build ships better."

"I?"

Qin Tao nodded: "You can continue to stay at Mingzhou Shipyard. I will help you with your homework. You happen to be taking the college entrance examination with my sister."

Cong Ju shook her head, Qin Tao's intentions were not pure, and he was tricking her into staying.

However, the seeds of going to college have already been planted in her heart, and will slowly take root and sprout in the future.

New Year's Eve, morning.

Crackling firecrackers sounded one after another, and there was a lively atmosphere everywhere. On the shipyard, a lot of people were still busy.

"Okay, the system has been debugged, and now we can go into the water."

"Taozi, have you really decided?" Cong Ju looked at Qin Tao.

"Yeah, let's go into the water first." Qin Tao said: "If the customer is not satisfied, we will add a launching ceremony for him. Now, let's throw a bottle first."

After speaking, Qin Tao picked up a bottle of Yanghe Daqu in his hand.

"No, no, foreign wine must be used when throwing wine, and there must be foam."

"Crack!" Qin Tao had already dropped the wine bottle on the bow of the catamaran, the bottle was broken, and the smell of wine permeated the air.

"Okay, let's get into the water now!"

After the catamaran entered the water, Qin Tao stood in the cockpit on the second floor, and then pressed the start knob.

The two MTU diesel engines made crisp and pleasant sounds. Qin Tao looked at the few gauges in front of him, waited for the diesel engine to stabilize the speed for 1 minute, then pushed the throttle lever, and the engine roared.
