Chapter 60 The big whale on the river beach

"It's amazing, it's really amazing!" Early the next morning, Liu Minggang ran over excitedly. After seeing Qin Tao, his face was full of excitement: "Taozi, according to your request, we will use the submarine's We made a batch of steel for the pressure shell. The thickness of this batch of steel is only 4 mm, but its yield strength is higher than the previous batch of 1 cm steel!”

 As he spoke, he handed Qin Tao the steel inspection report.

 The thickness of the steel plates used by ships has a great relationship with the tonnage and navigation area. Generally speaking, the larger the tonnage, the thicker the steel plates. The demand for inland river ships is lower than that of ocean ships.

Dedgers use 1 centimeter thick steel, while cargo ships of more than 10,000 tons have to use about three centimeters.

As for the 4 mm thick steel, it looks too thin. Even if it is used as the shell of a speedboat, it will make people feel thin.

Therefore, Liu Minggang was originally a little worried. This speedboat was intended to be a cruise ship and could carry more than a hundred people. If something went wrong, it would cost more than a hundred lives. He, the person in charge of providing steel, could not handle the problem. Well, you have to go in.

 As a result, he was very surprised. The 4 mm thick steel was actually stronger than the 1 cm thick steel!

Qin Tao took the report and didn't read it at all. He stuffed it into his pocket and glanced at the excited Liu Minggang: "Uncle Liu, the submarine's pressure hull is the best marine steel in the world. Even if it is remade, the performance will be different." The decline is not comparable to that of ordinary marine steel. Now, this batch of steel is the best marine steel produced in our country, even Huating No. 1 Steel Plant cannot compare."

"Yes, the old masters hired by the factory from Huating also said the same thing." Liu Minggang said: "After the molding inspection, they were all shocked. They said that this kind of steel can be sold at a high price."

“Really?” Qin Tao looked at Liu Minggang meaningfully.

"If others want it, they will definitely have to raise the price, but if they supply it to our shipyard, of course they have to pay the original price. Moreover, priority should be given to ensuring the supply of our shipyard. You, Uncle Liu, are not the kind of person to burn bridges." Liu Minggang said quickly.

Qin Tao nodded: "Uncle Liu, there are three more submarines of the same type. They are expected to arrive soon. The steel plates removed from them should be divided into categories. You can sell half of the steel plates after the pressure hull is reheated and keep half for us. .”

If Liu Minggang dares to raise prices for the shipyard, Qin Tao can sell the scrap steel to others.

Now, Qin Tao wants to build a shipbuilding industry chain in Mingzhou, and it is necessary to support the Mingzhou Shipyard. However, if Liu Minggang dares to forget his roots, then Qin Tao can sell those high-quality scrap steel to others at any time.

　　We are all on the same page, and as a human being you must repay kindness.

 “Okay, okay.” Liu Minggang nodded repeatedly, secretly congratulating himself on his quick reaction.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, you are familiar with Huating Shipyard. Hire a welder for me. He doesn't have to stay permanently. He just comes here to train us welders. The price is whatever he wants. However, there must be various domestic welders. Other professional certificates.”

Qin Tao's eyes looked at the slipway, where a large group of welders were practicing welding skills. Qin Tao's words yesterday gave them a sense of urgency and mission. The sparks of the arc made Qin Tao Tao was very moved by the fact that these older generation workers shine with the brilliance of dedication and dedication.

"Okay, of course it's no problem." Liu Minggang said, "I'll leave it to your Uncle Liu."

At this moment, puffs of black smoke appeared on the sea in the distance. With a thought in his mind, Qin Tao ran over quickly, covering the eastern sun with his hands, and looked over.

One submarine was driven by its own power, while the other two were towed by tugboats. In this way, the three submarines moved slowly. Even if the tugboat is running at full power, it is impossible to reach too high a speed. A submarine with its own power probably only has one engine that can turn, so the speed is not very fast. After a long journey at sea, the three submarines finally arrived at their destination. cemetery.

“Let them drive up, keep accelerating, and hit the beach directly on our left! Hire a few tugboats and push them from behind!” Qin Tao shouted loudly.

When the first ship was dismantled, they used a shipyard. After all, it was the safest way. But then, their shipyards were used. The big shipyards needed to build dredgers, and the small shipyards needed to build catamarans and navy speedboats. So , these three submarines could only rush directly to the river beach.

 In many underdeveloped countries, ship recycling is done in this way. Even in 2020, some small ship recycling yards in China can still be found doing this at the lowest cost.

 Qin Tao took command.

The river beach on the side of the shipyard was busy. Some people were digging sunken pits to firmly support the submarines. Some were looking for tugboats, while others were standing there, watching the arrival of the three submarines.

Even if they don’t build ships and just dismantle them, they can still live a good life!

Qin Baoshan also ran over from the slipway, watching the three submarines slowly approaching, his heart surged.

“Old man, we have to recruit a group of people next,” Qin Tao said.

They want to build and dismantle ships, and the existing manpower is seriously insufficient. Since ship dismantling has no technical content and is mainly a safety issue, they can definitely find a group of temporary workers to help. The old workers in the shipyard will need to Focus on building ships.

"Well, we are going to recruit a group of people." Qin Baoshan said, "But we can't mess around just yet."

 “Why?”

“We need to check it thoroughly first, maybe there is...”

My father is smart enough, but I don’t need to worry about this kind of thing. The navy must be on the way now, so let them go up and look for it first.

The first submarine with its own power came up first. The water became shallower and shallower, and more and more parts of it were exposed on the water. Just like a big whale, its huge body slid onto the river beach. He jumped on the river beach for another ten meters and stopped steadily in a dug pit.

Like a whale committing suicide, its wet body was exposed to the sun, and water gurgled out of the drains on both sides.

This is Lao Maozi's unique double-hull submarine structure. The outside is a non-pressure-resistant shell. All kinds of unimportant equipment are placed in the outer shell. The inner layer is a pressure-resistant shell with personnel living inside. This has the advantage of That is, in the event of a collision, the outer non-pressure shell will be lost. If an enemy torpedo attacks, the inner shell will not be damaged if the charge is insufficient.

That kind of super monster, there is even a distance of two or three meters between the inner and outer shells, and huge mushroom bombs can be put in it.

The remaining two submarines were pushed to the river beach by tugboats. When all three submarines were stranded on the river beach, they were like three whales basking in the sun together.

 The Navy's 212 has appeared at the gate of the shipyard.

PS: As mentioned before, Mingzhou Shipyard is at the mouth of a river, so the river is nearby and the sea is far away.
