The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 792 Return to Ordinary (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

Having created Yinwa steel, Liu Tao had no intention of stopping there.

Because Invar steel has obvious shortcomings.

For example, the welding of Invar steel is difficult and requires superb welding technology, and cracks are easily generated during the welding process; it is also difficult to process and requires high precision and stability during the processing to avoid deformation and surface defects.

In addition, Invar steel is a special steel with high production cost and high price, so its cost-effectiveness needs to be fully considered during use.

The last big disadvantage is that Invar steel is very brittle and easily affected by shock and vibration, so care must be taken to avoid overload and overstress when using it.

He wanted to try to improve the disadvantages of Invar steel while retaining its advantages by adjusting the material formula and adding rare earth elements.

It's true, after a series of experiments over a month, and after adding three rare earth elements, Liu Tao obtained a new nickel-iron alloy with greatly improved performance.

After solving the key materials, Liu Tao began to build the LNG ship model.

Before this, China had never built an LNG ship, so now it has to start from scratch.

Solving the material problem is one thing, and we have to come up with the design of the LNG ship before we can start construction.

If there is a problem with the design, the boat may capsize as soon as it enters the water, or there may be various problems during operation.

It took Liu Tao a month to complete the design of the LNG ship.

He designed two LNG ships in total, one with a capacity of 12.5 cubic meters and the other with a capacity of 20 cubic meters.

Afterwards, Liu Tao arranged for the Yangcheng Shipyard to prepare to build LNG ships.

Whether you are selling LNG ships or using your own shipping company to transport liquefied natural gas, LNG ships have great prospects.

In addition, Panshan Group has a lot of natural gas to develop in the Middle East.

These are all benefits.

In the next twenty years, even if Yangcheng Shipyard builds forty or fifty LNG ships, it would not be considered a lot.

There is no need to consider shipping liquefied natural gas to Europe. It is enough to just ship liquefied natural gas to China.

We turned the last page of 1991 and welcomed the first day of 1992.

It was also on this day that the first fire-fighting team set foot on the land of the motherland, where they were received like heroes.

In less than five months, the firefighting teams from China put out all the oil field fires in Iraq, creating a miracle in the history of oil field fire fighting.

Behind this, there is the use of fuel-air explosives, supercomputers to calculate and provide accurate data, and of course the hard work of the fire-fighting brigade.

Even European and American media always praise it when reporting.

You know, at the beginning, when the European and American media approached Iraq to sign an oil field fire extinguishing contract agreement with China, they were all sarcastic.

There are even European and American media predicting that Iraq will eventually beg Europe and the United States to save Iraq's oil fields.

At that time, it was generally believed that it would take at least five or six years to extinguish all the oil field fires in Iraq, and it would not be surprising if it took seven or eight years.

But now, the Huaxia Oilfield Fire Fighting Team took less than five months to put out all the oilfield fires in Iraq.

This kind of efficiency absolutely shocked the whole world.

Although Iraq can only pay part of the money, and most of the money will have to be repaid slowly over the next ten years, the money is still enough to pay all workers' wages and bonuses.

Now that the fire in the oil field in Iraq has been extinguished, Liu Tao has also begun to arrange for the China Petroleum Group to go to the Iraqi oil field to extract oil. The oil fields owned by the China Petroleum Group are all large oil fields with rich production, and they are close to Kuwait.

As long as the facilities are built and the oil pipelines are laid, it can be transported directly to the port of Kuwait and then loaded onto ships.

In addition, China National Petroleum Corporation will also provide Iraq with equipment as well as inspection and maintenance services, which is also a major business.

As for the China Construction Group, it went to Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia early on to build roads, houses and other buildings in Iraq and Kuwait.

For the people of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, being a construction worker means hard and dirty work, but for the workers of China Construction Group, it is a lucrative job, because they can earn the same as working in China for four or five months in a month by working abroad.

As long as I can make money, it doesn’t matter if I’m tired.

In recent years, as Panshan Group expanded its overseas business, more and more workers were assigned to work abroad, and they appeared in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

In addition to the workers, there are also supporting medical staff.

The number of Panshan Group's overseas workers exceeds 100,000!
It is conceivable how amazing Panshan Group’s overseas business is at present.

Pang Hu also returned to China, and Liu Tao personally met with Pang Hu.

Liu Tao had an impression of Pang Hu. When Pang Hu entered the Panshan system, his position was not low.

In recent years, Pang Hu only stays in China for one month a year, and the rest of the time he is overseas.

"Are you really quitting?" Liu Tao asked.

Pang Hu shook his head and said, "I quit. I'm tired of wandering overseas for so many years. Now that my children have grown up, they are no longer close to me. I just want to spend more time with my wife and children in the future to make up for them!"

Pang Hu's family lives a good life because Pang Hu has a good income, but this cannot make up for the lack of family affection caused by Pang Hu's absence from home.

After so many years, Pang Hu has come to terms with it. He is old now and it is time for him to live a comfortable life.

"Do you want to bring your family overseas or keep them in the country? Should the company arrange a job for you, or do you do it on your own?" Liu Tao asked.

People like Pang Hu are very popular in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Middle Eastern countries. Liu Tao has no objection to poaching from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries. After all, they are offering really generous conditions.

Some mercenaries choose to immigrate to these countries with their families and change their nationality.

If you stay in the country, you either have to be assigned a job by the company or work on your own.

Pang Hu has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and after he leaves the group, he will receive a considerable resettlement fee.

"I want to start my own business, buy a house in the city, and then buy a shop and do some small business." Pang Hu smiled, "I also want to be relaxed and comfortable!"

Liu Tao nodded. Everyone has their own aspirations and everyone has their own choices.

Some people choose to immigrate to the Middle East, some choose to immigrate to Europe and the United States, some choose to immigrate to South America and Australia, and some choose to immigrate to Southeast Asia.

It is not uncommon for people like Pang Hu to want to live a peaceful life without any constraints.

On the contrary, there are still quite a few such people.

They are tired of the life of mercenaries, tired of military life, and they want to return to ordinary life.

Some people pursue a passionate life when they are young, but after experiencing more and reaching a certain level, they will realize the preciousness of ordinariness.

Pang Hu belongs to this category of people.
