Chapter 63: The welder master arrives

Chapter 63 The arrival of the welder master

A thin figure appeared at the Mingzhou Shipyard. She was wearing a shipyard labor cloth overalls. If you didn't look at the logo on the chest, you wouldn't know which shipyard she came from. Her hair was simply decorated with a Tie it up with a rope, casually and simply.

  When her figure appeared in the shipyard, no one paid attention. She just walked onto the slipway and looked at Zhao Changshui and others who were practicing **** their welding skills.

  She bent down, picked up a completed sample, and then shook her head.

Her actions attracted the attention of others. Zhao Changshui put down his welding gun, looked at the female worker, and said, "Girl, are you new here?"

"It's not easy to be a welder. This job is done by men. With your small body, you might as well become a helper." The welder next to him said, and then looked at the three boats waiting to be demolished on the river beach in the distance. Solved submarine.

 Their shipyard went from being idle to being overwhelmed, all thanks to Qin Tao. Now, they have a lot to do, so they have to hire new workers, and they have seen new faces more than once.

 So, in their eyes, this new female worker is also one of them, but she is too thin and cannot do strong work at all.

They knew that Director Qin had always been kind-hearted. He was probably a child from a poor family. He came to the shipyard to find a job and support his family, so Director Qin took him in.

At this moment, a voice came from below: "Is it so lively so early in the morning?"

“Taozi, are you here?”

 “Good morning, Qin Gong!”

As soon as everyone said hello, the new female worker also turned her head and looked at Qin Tao.

“Cong Ju?” When Qin Tao saw the female worker, he immediately shouted in surprise: “You’re here?”

Qin Tao walked up as he spoke, walked up to Cong Ju in one breath, and stretched out his hand: "On behalf of Mingzhou Shipyard, I welcome you! I hope that under your guidance, our welders here will They can also grow by leaps and bounds.”

 Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Taozi, is this girl the welding teacher you invited?”

“Gong Qin, can she really weld?”

At this time, Cong Ju was also a little surprised. Looking at Qin Tao's stretched out hand, he did not move, but said in a suspicious tone: "Qin Gong, do you know me?"

"Of course, Sister Cong Ju, I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are the ace welder in the shipyard. You have multiple welding certificates from Lloyd's Register and others. You have been rated as a model worker and the March 8th Red Flag for many years. Hands, when we were building ships for foreigners, the quality inspector named Steven was originally suspicious of you. You welded a few experimental pieces, and the pass rate was 100%, which completely satisfied the other party... I asked Uncle Liu to help with the welding. Experts come here, I didn’t expect that I could actually invite a great **** like you.”

Of course, Qin Tao knew everything about Cong Ju's deeds. In his previous life, Qin Tao was very familiar with her. Later, when the aircraft carrier was built, Cong Ju was also selected as an elite soldier. There is no need to exaggerate. It is said that Cong Ju is the number one welder in the shipyard.

 What a blessing to be able to invite her. It would be better if she could stay, so Qin Tao quickly hugged Sister Cong Ju and called her very affectionately.

Hearing Qin Tao tell his various deeds, Cong Ju was finally convinced that Qin Tao was really familiar with him.

 The two of them held their hands together.

Qin Tao has held other people's hands. Whether it was Nie Shiyu or Zhao Ling, they were all tender and smooth. However, Cong Ju's hands were very rough and covered with calluses. Looking at her face, she had been welding outside all year round. Her skin is dark due to homework and the smoke from welding, but it exudes a healthy beauty.

How do you say that? Workers are the most beautiful.

“Uncle Liu really didn’t come with you.” Qin Tao said with some complaint.

Cong Ju smiled: "Qin Gong, I have never seen the Uncle Liu you mentioned."

"ah?"

“Isn’t it necessary to build a catamaran here? Moreover, special steel plates must be used. The superior leaders were worried, so after some coordination, they asked me to come over and help.”

  Qin Tao finally understood.

How could Liu Minggang hire a master of Cong Ju's level? However, this has something to do with Liu Minggang's steel plant. The Navy already knows that it has the strongest marine steel plates in the country. It is probably because they are not worried about welding. Technology, at the same time, Huating Shipyard also wanted to get in touch with this high-strength steel plate in advance, so they sent Cong Ju over.

“By the way, Sister Cong Ju, don’t call Qin Gong one after another, just call me Tao Zi.” Qin Tao continued to get closer.

Cong Ju is already in her thirties. She has worked hard in the shipyard for more than ten years and has mastered the unique skills of welding. Qin Tao is a college student in his twenties, so there is no problem in calling this sibling. of.

“Cong Gong, I saw you just shook your head, can you tell us what’s wrong with our workpieces?” Zhao Changshui humbly asked for advice.

Although Cong Ju didn't show her skills in front of them, Qin Tao told her about Cong Ju's certificates and other things, which could prove that her skills were extraordinary.

 Cong Ju came here to be their teacher and guide them to make progress.

"We who are engaged in shipbuilding all know that welding is the most critical process." Cong Ju looked at everyone and said: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. If we have flaws in the welding, then it may cause damage to the sailing ship. Ships on the ocean pose serious safety risks. So we must strive for excellence.”

"From the analysis of the workpieces I just saw, it seems that everyone has not mastered the internationally accepted welding standards." Cong Ju continued to introduce: "So, I will now briefly explain to you the standards of Lloyd's Register. .”

"The exterior of the hull, including the weight, side strength, deck and other course parts, must comply with the processing standards of the British shipbuilding industry. The surface must be smooth and free of any defects and repairs. Gas-cut bites and uneven flaws must be Polish it." Cong Ju said: "Your biggest problem is that the uneven defects are not polished. Although it is a welding test piece, this method is impossible to satisfy the shipowner's representative."

 When building warships, there are military representatives responsible for quality. When building civilian ships, there are representatives sent by shipowners to supervise quality. This kind of person is the most demanding. The Steven Qin Tao mentioned is the one Cong Ju once met.

“Isn’t this embroidery for a big girl? Does it have such high requirements?”

“If our shipyard wants to go global, we must improve our standards and impose strict requirements.” Qin Tao said.

Cong Ju knew everyone's mood, because when she first came into contact with this foreign standard, she had the same doubts. Now, she continued to explain the standard: "In order to achieve a first-class appearance, the hull steel plates need to be corrected. After welding, it must be leveled, specifically, on the collective plane with a length of 2130 mm, the maximum flatness is plus or minus 8 mm for the bulkhead with cabins on both sides.”

 Everyone took another breath of air.

“All steel surfaces must be shot blasted and rust-free to Swedish SA21/2 level, and a 20-micron thick anti-corrosion primer must be applied immediately. A paint micrometer must be used to check the thickness of the paint film. If it does not meet the standard, it must be completely eradicated and re-painted. Airbrush.”

 Bang! Someone dropped the welding torch in his hand. This is definitely more difficult than embroidery for a big girl!

PS: Cong Ju is indeed a real person, a craftsman from a great country. This chapter should be regarded as writing about these craftsmen from a great country. When they faced international standards, they did not shrink back. Through diligent and hard practice, they mastered first-class technology. Became a qualified builder of key projects.
