Chapter 71 Chance Encounter

 Guo Jiamin is a little worried. Mingzhou Shipyard has never used MTU diesel engines. They are too urgent now. What if something goes wrong?

 He ran onto the slipway and looked at the unique catamaran in the dock. At this time, the crane had already lifted the first engine. Then, he opened his eyes wide.

The two sides of the catamaran are sheet-shaped hulls. The lower part is relatively narrow and cannot accommodate the engine at all. The upper part is constantly expanding. The reserved position for the engine is just above and close to the side of the ship. It actually fits the engine right in. .

They had already planned to use the MTU diesel engine, so the reserved position was just right. When Guo Jiamin continued to observe, he was even more surprised to find that the position where the engine was fixed was actually a tall shock-absorbing base.

After being buffered by the huge rubber block, the vibration of the engine is absorbed and is difficult to transmit to the hull. Therefore, this kind of shock-absorbing base has been used by many foreign ships. However, such a small speedboat also uses this kind of shock-absorbing base. It shows that the designer has a very good grasp of details.

There is a lot of space under the engine. The sheet-like position there cannot be used to store other things, but it is most suitable as a fuel tank and ballast water tank.

Seeing that the two engines were hoisted, Cong Ju was also very happy: "Next, we can weld the deck, but it would be better if the reducer was inserted in advance."

"Yes." Qin Tao said, "It seems that I need to go to Huating."

Huating has a large number of heavy-duty factories in the nearby metropolis. In the automotive field, the Santana sedan produced by Huating is becoming the first choice for people who are getting rich first. In terms of shipbuilding, Huating Shipyard is even more famous, undertaking countless projects. foreign shipbuilding tasks.

At the same time, Huating also has a large number of supporting factories, such as marine diesel engines, marine reducers, etc.

In terms of engines, Qin Tao does not want to use domestic products because they cannot meet his requirements. However, it is different when it comes to marine reducers. There is no technical content in this, as long as the processing accuracy is sufficient, so his reducers are from Huating Reducer Factory. ordered.

The output speed of the diesel engine is too high to directly drive the propeller, so a reducer is needed between the diesel engine and the propeller. After the propeller speed is reduced, the noise during operation and the agitated cavitation can be greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the propeller is improved. .

Waterjet propellers also need reducers. Moreover, the catamaran designed by Qin Tao has an engine on each side to drive two waterjet propellers. Therefore, in addition to reducing the engine speed, It also has to provide two output shafts, which is the most unique dual intermediate shaft reducer.

This kind of reducer needs to be customized, and I don’t know if it has been made there.

After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Cong Ju: "Sister Cong Ju, since you came to our Mingzhou Shipyard, you have been busy working and haven't had a rest yet. Do you want to go to Huating together to relax?"

Cong Ju smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back if I leave?"

"You won't. You have already fallen in love with this catamaran. You will definitely be reluctant to part with it before it is launched into the water." Qin Tao was very sure.

Cong Ju nodded: "Yes, this is my first time building a catamaran, and I like it very much. Since we have to coordinate the reducer, let's go back quickly. Let's set off now."

“Well, let’s take 212 in the factory.”

“No, let’s take the Kamaz. If a speed reducer is built over there, we can use the Kamaz to pull us back.” Cong Ju said.

She doesn't care about the grade of the car, but pays more attention to practicality. Besides, 212 has been driven for many years. It's not as good as the Kamaz that Qin Tao got back. If something goes wrong along the way, they will be thrown on the road. .

 “Well, then I’ll drive.”

The cab of the Kamaz is not big, and the three drivers are a bit crowded. If Qin Tao drives the car himself, Cong Ju can be more generous in the passenger seat.

This is not the first time Qin Tao has traveled far away. In the past, he and Wang Erzhu and the others drove directly to Fenhe and then to Lao Maozi's place. Now the journey of several hundred kilometers is almost like wandering around the doorstep of home.

Kamaz rumbled onto the road. Cong Ju, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the scenery changing outside the window. She didn’t know what she was thinking. She was probably thinking about her relatives at home.

“After the factory finishes building the missile boats, delivers the dredgers, and has sufficient funds, we will buy a Santana,” Qin Tao said.

Although the shipyard already has a lot of money on its books, Qin Tao cannot spend it arbitrarily. The main business of the shipyard is shipbuilding, not shipbreaking, so after a few ships are delivered, the factory will have more funds, and the old man probably won't stop him from buying a car by then.

“I heard that you are good at getting things from Lao Maozi?” Cong Ju asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm good at it, but Lao Maozi's Lada car is too low-grade. When Lao Maozi..." Qin Tao originally said that after Lao Maozi is disbanded, he can get some Prados and the like imported by Lao Maozi and think about himself. If you can't be the prophecy emperor, forget it.

“What are you waiting for?” Cong Ju asked Qin Tao with a smile.

Qin Tao was thinking about other words in his mind. At the same time, he subconsciously glanced to the side. An old Shanghai car passed by them. Through the car window, he saw several figures inside, and he couldn't help but feel curious. .

　　Looks familiar?

 The old Shanghai car drove very fast, passing Kamaz by a few hundred meters, then slowed down and stopped in front of the traffic light.

Qin Tao unhurriedly took off the gear, slipped through the gap, and stopped just on the right side of Old Shanghai.

At this time, the passenger side of the car rolled down the window, revealing a head with short, ear-length hair.

 “Qin Gong, Qin Gong!”

"Xiao Ling, why are you there? What are you doing?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

 Last time I took Zhao Ling out, a lot of things happened, but Qin Tao didn't think too much about it. He still had a long road ahead in life. When he thought about it occasionally, just treat it as a good memory.

After returning from the Tu-104, the two separated. The last time Wu Shengli came to Mingzhou Shipyard, he did not bring Zhao Ling with him, which made Qin Tao feel a little regretful. He did not expect that at this time, this I encountered it when I was growing a place.

 Is this fate?

“Let’s go to Huating Shipyard. There is an emergency there and we need help urgently, but we don’t know if we can help.” Zhao Ling said, “Qin Gong, do you want to come with us?”
