Warship of Great Power

Chapter 2: Not fast enough or powerful enough

Chapter 2 The speed is not enough and the power is not enough

Aunt Wang was a little surprised, but she still handed the labor cloth overalls she was holding to Qin Tao.

It's summer now. In fact, just wearing a good-quality half-sleeve is fine. However, when working in a shipyard, you have to cover yourself tightly. Otherwise, if you walk casually, sparks from welding may fall from the top of your head, which will destroy the half-sleeve. Burn a hole.

 As for now, everyone has nothing to do and is just watching the fun. Many people have taken off their coats.

 Qin Tao took over the work clothes and then put them on Nie Shiyu.

Nie Shiyu's clothes were all wet and could be seen at a glance, which was so embarrassing. With this piece of clothing covering it up, it's much better.

 “Xiao Tao, why do you...”

“Aunt Wang, Shiyu is innocent. The factory director and the cashier ran away with the money, and everyone is very angry. However, think about it, Shiyu is left alone, wouldn’t he be even more lonely?”

The guys just scolded each other badly, like vixens, and they took out the anger that should have been directed at Nie Cui'e, but at Nie Shiyu. Everyone has good intentions.

At this time, when Qin Tao said this, Aunt Wang also showed shame on her face: "Yes, this is also a child with a hard life."

“Humph, you’re a worthless thing who wants to threaten me by jumping into the river, crying, making trouble, and hanging himself... Now that the factory is like this, do you have the nerve to leave?” At this moment, Qin Baoshan ran over panting.

“Old man, I’m not leaving.” Qin Tao said, “From now on, you can safely leave the burden on your shoulders to me. I will lead the factory out of this predicament.”

 Have you transitioned?

Qin Baoshan was a little surprised. His son fell into the water and came up again, and he actually changed?

 Not only the attitude has changed, but even the whole person's temperament has changed.

  Qin Baoshan was so surprised that he didn't care that Qin Tao called him an old man very rudely.

 “You want to stay?”

"Yes." Qin Tao said: "This is my root. How can I leave at this time? However, I need to send Shiyu back first. Old man, Shiyu is so pitiful. I want her to live there in the future. Do you have any objections to our family?"

“Yes, Cashier Nie ran away, and Shiyu is an underage girl... Just live in our house. Your mother and I don’t have any daughters, so just treat her as multiple daughters!”

Nie Shiyu's tears fell again, and she bent her knees and was about to kneel down.

Qin Tao quickly grabbed Nie Shiyu: "From now on, I will be your brother. If someone bullies you, come to me. Come on, I will take you home first. Change your clothes when you go back. These wet clothes can make you sick easily."

"Brother, you don't need to send it. I will go alone. After I change my clothes, I will send this coat to Aunt Wang. You can be busy with things in the factory."

“I’ll send Shiyu back.” Aunt Wang also volunteered.

Looking at Nie Shiyu's leaving figure, Qin Tao let out a long breath, and then turned to look at the slipway.

Since I have decided to stay, I might as well help my father solve the difficult problem, but first, we must know what is going on.

"Old man, we are college students. What happened to the product that Director Song failed to reform? Maybe I can help solve it." Qin Tao looked at his father.

At this time, Qin Baoshan took his eyes back from the failed product and looked at his son.

Huating Shipbuilding Industry School is the highest school for shipbuilders. My son studied there for four years, so he should have learned real skills. Moreover, the current situation in the shipyard is not optimistic. Since my son is interested, let him try it. What if the problem is really solved?

 Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

"Old Zhao, you are the most familiar with it, so you should tell me." Qin Baoshan said: "I just took over the job not long ago. In the past, Lao Song hid everything from me, and it was not convenient for me to ask questions."

"Hmm." Zhao Changshui said angrily: "It's just a fool's errand! Even if we continue to build the previous fishing boats, we won't be at this level."

“In recent years, maritime smuggling has become more and more serious, so the then director of the factory Song Liar Song took advantage of this opportunity and decided to switch to manufacturing anti-smuggling speedboats.”

"Our factory used to build fishing boats, and we didn't have the blueprints for speedboats. We originally planned to get them from our brother units, but Director Song said we should aim at the world's advanced level and have a speed of more than 50 knots. We don't have the blueprints in China, so we have to buy the blueprints from abroad! "

"We spent hundreds of thousands to purchase advanced production drawings from the island country. Looking at it now, the scumbag Song Liar clearly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to travel abroad! He took Vixen with him at that time. The two of them must have been there early We got it together."

"Uncle Zhao, let's go on, what's wrong with this ship? Is there a problem with the islanders' drawings?" Qin Tao looked at the five speedboats on the slipway and wondered about the secrets. Could it be that the islanders were playing tricks?

"There must be something wrong with the drawings. The required steel plate thickness far exceeds the needs of the speedboat. However, we are uneducated and can only say it is not suitable based on our feelings. Song Da Liar insisted that there was no problem and built it according to the drawings. As a result, the speedboat was manufactured After I came out, I was three times overweight! Needless to say, I couldn't run even fifty knots, I couldn't even run thirty knots!"

"The customs are still anxious to get it. They heard that we have built one here, and they immediately sent someone to take it over. After arriving, Song Da Liang treated the guests to dinner, but did not let them touch the speedboat. He was not a fool, so he demanded forcefully. After getting on the boat and testing the results, the customs officers turned around and left! The remaining four boats under construction are useless and are just hanging on the slipway to bask in the sun. Our shipyard's millions have been wasted."

Qin Tao frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "Did we use the wrong material? The speedboat requires such a thick material, it should be aluminum alloy, right?"

“What? Aluminum alloy? Can that thing also make ships?”

 It’s terrible to be uneducated.

Small and medium-sized shipyards like Mingzhou Shipyard are more similar to the ancient craftsmen who passed it down from generation to generation. If they have built it themselves, they are sure to build it. As for what they have not... In the past, workers across the country were one family. , whatever is needed, Brother Shipyard will come to help and teach the technology personally without reservation.

 Now, times have changed.

Mingzhou Shipyard suffered such a disadvantage. Without its own technical strength, when it lost its support, it was extremely difficult to walk.

They spent a huge sum of money to purchase drawings from abroad, but they didn’t even know the materials used in shipbuilding. They just used iron instead of aluminum alloy based on their past experience in building fishing boats. Of course, this speedboat was overweight.

Thinking of this, Qin Tao can better understand Qin Baoshan's good intentions. Every year, graduates of the School of Shipbuilding Industry flock to large shipyards. The small Mingzhou Shipyard simply does not have such technical talents, so Qin Baoshan can only rely on his son.

“Our factory has never built aluminum alloy ships. The welding of those things requires special equipment.” Zhao Changshui continued.

"Yes, even if there were, we don't have the funds to purchase raw materials. These ships cannot be scrapped like this." Liu Fugui said.

 “If only I could fix these ships!”

“You, a talented student, have seen something, do you have any solution?” Qin Baoshan looked at his son, full of expectation.

"Well, there are ways." Qin Tao said: "If you can't reach the speed, then use power to make up for it!"
