  Chapter 140 Competition

   "Okay, Uncle Liu, let's put a satellite, the target is two gigapascals of marine steel, how about it?" Qin Tao looked at Liu Minggang.

  At this time, Liu Minggang had already had another glass of wine and was pouring it for himself. Hearing what Qin Tao said, Liu Minggang's hands trembled: "What did you say? Two thousand megapascals?"

The general marine steel is only one to two hundred MPa, and the steel produced by their Mingzhou shipyard for the pressure hull of the submarine is only four to five hundred MPa, which is already the strongest in the country. Now, Qin Tao actually To increase this value several times, two gigapascals?

  There is no such steel in the world, right?

  Qin Tao smiled, and looked at Liu Minggang: "Uncle Liu, you just said that I underestimated your courage, but now it seems that you are not very good."

  Liu Minggang blushed: "Two thousand megapascals is two thousand megapascals. If you, Uncle Liu, go all out, you won't be afraid of getting hurt if you go too far."

"Uncle Liu, what I'm talking about is an ideal, a lofty goal, and it doesn't have to be realized now." Qin Tao picked up a piece of braised hairtail and said, "Let's go in three steps. First, produce it yourself. Five hundred megapascals, second, one gigapascal, third, two gigapascals. Each step takes five to ten years, how about it?"

   After Varyag got it back, for a long time, it was docked on the pier, despite the wind and rain, but it didn't do anything, because the old tiles were rusted, and they didn't transform it into their own aircraft carrier?

There are many reasons.

  For example, from the perspective of the Navy, they have not yet made up their minds whether to move from offshore defense to both offensive and defensive. Things like aircraft carriers are offensive weapons. Therefore, the high-level navy is still conducting various demonstrations on whether it needs an aircraft carrier. If the higher-ups have not made up their minds, of course they will not allocate funds for the transformation.

   On the other hand, it is technical. The country cannot produce supporting steel, corresponding carrier-based aircraft, etc., which restricts the transformation of the aircraft carrier and becomes an immediate problem.

  Qin Tao can't deal with policy matters, but in terms of technology, since Liu Minggang in front of him has lofty ideals, of course he has to support him.

Steel plates for dismantling ships will not always be available, and Lao Maozi's warships will not always be available for dismantling. Therefore, the current glory of Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant cannot continue. If they want to develop stably, they must use the current The savings will be invested in equipment renewal and research and development, striving to reach a new level.

   This is also necessary. In a few years, there will be excess steel production capacity in the country, and then a number of small steel factories will be shut down one after another. If Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant wants to continue, it can only develop into a large-scale iron and steel enterprise, and develop into a steel plant with its own special products.

  Liu Minggang nodded: "That's right! Let's do it like this!"

"In terms of equipment, we have a steel plate production line from the island country, which is already very good, but it can only roll steel with a width of 2300 mm. If we can increase the equipment, the width can be enlarged to 5000 mm or more. That would be of greater benefit to our shipbuilding."

  The wider the steel plate, the smaller the welding project. In Qin Tao's original time and space, the steel for aircraft carriers manufactured by Anshan Iron and Steel was 5,500 mm wide, and there were only six such equipment in the world.

  Qin Tao continued to speak eloquently.

The feeding system needs to have a modern comprehensive raw material yard, the coking system needs to use the k-method desulfurization 52-hole reheating 7-meter coke oven, the sintering system needs to have a sintering machine with an area of ​​405 square meters, and the iron-making system needs to be installed in addition to the existing blast furnace. There is a large blast furnace with a designed capacity of 6.5 million tons, and the steelmaking system must have a top-bottom combined blowing converter, RH-TB vacuum refining device, LF ladle refining furnace, ANS-OB molten steel refining device...

  Many equipment, this is the first time Liu Minggang has heard of it, and he is feeling the gap between himself and Qin Tao. However, since he found out, he must find a way to get it as soon as possible! If the funds in the factory are not enough, loans must be obtained to make the steel factory bigger and stronger!

   "Talent is always the most important thing. I remember that there are several very powerful technicians at Angang Steel. It would be great if we could find a way to recruit them." Qin Tao continued.

   While Qin Tao and Liu Minggang were drinking and chatting together, in the far north, in the capital, in the meeting room of the Yellow Building, a man in a Chinese tunic suit was reporting to the white army uniforms.

"Our Zhongjiang Shipyard has a long history. As early as 1900, our predecessor, Fuji Heng Machinery Factory, was established. It is almost a hundred years old. After liberation, our factory built a large number of ships for the navy. We were the key construction factory during the First Five-Year Plan. We once built the first wooden torpedo boat, the first fiberglass minesweeper boat for the navy, and also built a large number of Type 66 missile boats (NATO code name River Valley class). In the construction of small warships, our factory is the trump card. Therefore, please ask the superiors to divide the project of 022 missile boats into batches for us to build!"

The person who spoke was Ma Guoqiang, the director of Zhongjiang Shipyard. He has been the director of Zhongjiang Shipyard for nearly 20 years. Who would have thought that a local shipyard would appear out of nowhere, and a catamaran missile boat would be produced!

  Originally, their factory still has several construction contracts for 037 missile boats, and they can continue to build them for one or two years. Who would have thought that after receiving the test report of the catamaran missile boat, the high-level navy was very happy, and gave the number of the 022 missile boat, and planned to build a large number of such catamaran missile boats. Therefore, the 037 missile boat The contract was put on hold.

   Zhongjiang Shipyard suddenly had no orders. For a shipyard like them that mainly relies on orders from the army for food, the blow was too great. So, he ran to fight for it.

"Director Ma, you probably don't know that the development process of this 022 missile boat is different from our previous missile boats. This missile boat was not designed by our ship design department, but by Mingzhou Shipyard itself. It was designed, so if your factory is built, the Navy will not be able to coordinate the production drawings for you, and you can only talk to Mingzhou Shipyard yourself." Wu Shengli said.

  Wu Shengli is in charge of this project, so of course he has to explain everything clearly.

  In the past, the shipyard only built the ship, and the relevant department was responsible for the design, and the Navy provided coordination drawings. But now, of course Wu Shengli wants to fight for the interests of Mingzhou Shipyard.

   Zhongjiang Shipyard sent people to ask for blueprints. It will definitely not be the same as before. Brother factories provide free support and have to spend money to buy. That guy Qin Tao will definitely ask for an unattainable price.

   "Leaders, please rest assured that we have obtained the design drawings of the 022 missile boat." Ma Guoqiang said.

   Already got it?

  Wu Shengli looked at Ma Guoqiang in surprise, Qin Tao would give it? Shouldn't it, Qin Baoshan? You shouldn't be so confused, right? Could it be...

  Wu Shengli wanted to say something, and a white military uniform present said: "In this case, I can give you a batch of orders. After all, Zhongjiang Shipyard has built a lot of missile speedboats for us, and the quality is good."

   "Well, Ma, this catamaran missile boat is different from the previous missile boats. It uses high-strength steel, and the upper layer is still an aluminum structure." Wu Shengli said.

  This Baijun uniform is also surnamed Ma.

"Leaders, please rest assured that their Mingzhou Shipyard is just a small local shipyard. When the country established a unified shipbuilding group, they were excluded. Their technology is not enough for our Zhongjiang Shipyard to carry shoes. No, we can build what they can! Moreover, the quality is better than theirs!" Ma Guoqiang patted his chest on the spot and promised: "If the performance is not comparable to the products of Mingzhou Shipyard, I am willing to eat peanuts!"

   "Since Director Ma has this determination, then we..." Leader Ma spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Shengli.

   "Old Ma, let them build a sample boat first to see how the specific performance is, how about it? If the performance is fully up to standard, then give them a batch of orders."

  The other white uniforms present all nodded. This is obviously the safest way.

  Back to the office, Wu Shengli picked up the teacup, drank tea, and looked at the telephone beside him, hesitating several times whether to call Mingzhou Shipyard, at this moment, the phone rang by itself.

   "Dad, Brother Tao wants to buy a water pump factory that is about to close down to produce water jets."

  Hearing this voice, Wu Shengli finally smiled: "It's simple, I'll ask you guys right away!"

   Putting down the phone, Zhao Ling was also full of thoughts.

   "Xiaoling, Taozi wants to buy a water pump factory?" Just then, a voice came from beside him.

  Cong Ju's thin body appeared at the door, with an empty water bottle in her hand, she came back to fetch water to drink.

   "Well, the principles of water pumps and water jets are very similar, so Brother Tao plans to buy a water pump factory and then produce water jets." Zhao Ling explained.

   "Water pumps are similar to water jets?" Cong Ju became curious.

  Zhao Ling nodded: "They all follow the relevant Bernoulli equation, specifically..."

   "Well, it's good to have been to college." Cong Ju said, although she is a top-notch welder and has obtained many international certificates, she is still a senior technician after all, and her theoretical knowledge reserve is not enough.

   "By the way, I remember that there is a water pump factory in Huating, which seems to be poorly managed." Cong Ju thought of something.

"Really? Brother Tao is going to Huating soon, and I'm waiting for him to look for it." Zhao Ling was very happy to be able to help Qin Tao, she was very proud, picked up the phone, and called Qin Tao Thao dialed over.

  However, there was a beeping busy sound, and no one answered the phone.

   Let’s talk about it when he comes back, maybe he’s busy?

  In the Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant, Qin Tao was still chatting with Liu Minggang.

   "Hey, Uncle Liu, you've already drank half a catty, don't drink it, it will cause trouble if you drink too much."

   "Your Uncle Liu is happy." Liu Minggang said: "Old Qin has you as a good son, if I also..."

   After Liu Ming finished speaking, he lay down on the table and snored.

  Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, drinking was a waste of time, but fortunately, the wine is not bad, if he drinks too much, it will cause headaches. Although drinking is not good, it is better than finding a woman.

   Three days passed by, and Qin Tao arranged everything. This morning, a cargo ship full of workers and supplies from the Mingzhou Shipyard left the pier and headed north along the coastline.

  Standing on the pier, Qin Baoshan watched the boat leave, and couldn't help muttering: "Little bastard, it's getting bigger and bigger."

  Although Qin Baoshan was very dissatisfied with Qin Tao's behavior of cutting first and playing later when he first received the news, he did not stop him in any way, but actively helped.

  He believes in Qin Tao, and he will fully support Qin Tao. With a dock of 100,000 tons, or even a floating dock, it is very useful. For their shipyard, this is another firm step!

  In the future, Mingzhou Shipyard will develop into a big factory like Huating Shipyard!

  Qin Baoshan is full of expectations.

  On the cargo ship, Nie Shiyu was even more happy. This summer vacation will finally be as colorful as last year.

   "After going ashore, we don't have to rush to start. We will open up a residential area first. The equipment we brought can build a row of simple houses." Qin Tao was explaining to everyone.

  In later generations, the simple houses on the construction site are also very good, and some are even in the form of two-story buildings.

  The shipyard has a lot of processing equipment, so in a day or two, according to the drawings designed by Qin Tao, a batch of structural parts of the simple house were made. After going up, the place to live was built first.

   "Qin Gong, don't bother. We are not afraid of suffering. Aren't we going to renovate the tanker? We can just live in the cabin of the tanker."

   "Wang Mazi, is there something wrong with your brain? We can live on an oil tanker, can Qin Gongneng? Even if it is Qin Gongneng, can sister Shiyu?"

   "Of course I can, hey, don't think that I am someone who needs to be taken care of, I can work like you!" Nie Shiyu shouted dissatisfied.

  Everyone was chatting and laughing. It was already evening when they arrived at Chongming Island. The setting sun shone down, and the water surface was shining golden. The huge oil tanker, stranded on the river beach, looked extremely spectacular.

   "My god, what a big guy!" Zhao Laosi swallowed.

   "That's right, it's a big guy. Our next task is to change it up so that its parents can't recognize it!" Qin Tao was full of enthusiasm.

When the ship docked, the sky gradually darkened. Under the illumination of the navigation lights on the bow, a group of people began to carry supplies and build simple houses. They worked until midnight. From this day on, the deserted Chongming Island river beach followed It's getting lively.

   "Shi Yu, you and the female workers in our team sleep here together." Qin Tao pointed to the southernmost room and said, "Close the door at night. If anyone who doesn't have eyesight goes to the wrong door, you..."

   "I sleep on the outermost side, and there is a kitchen knife under the pillow. If anyone dares to go to the wrong door, I will click it!" said Aunt Liu, who came over to cook together.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry, no one will go wrong, let's carry forward the spirit of the past, eat and live on the tanker, eat when hungry, sleep when tired, wake up and go on!" Kong Laoer said Said: "We can't be sorry for the travel allowance given by the factory. We have to work harder than in the shipyard."
