Chapter 910: Submarine Cable Laying Ship!
"Xie Dong, to be honest, our Huake Aviation Technology Company has determined the overall design plan, but our company's current energy is mainly on the H-10 strategic bomber project and other projects, if you can help us to complete specific research and development projects such as structural strength, weapon fire control, power plant, environmental control and life-saving, we can hand over these projects to you to complete. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
The H-10 strategic bomber project has almost transferred most of the manpower of Huake Aviation Technology Company, and now there is no extra energy to complete the specific development of the stealth version of the big Tomcat, and now it is only the overall technical scheme that has been completed, and the digital prototype has not yet been made.
When Xie Ditao, Sun Shicong and the others heard this, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes.
"That's great!" Xie Ditao said overjoyed.
"However, there are some things I want to explain first, after the design is completed, the intellectual property rights of this aircraft belong to Huake Aviation Technology Company, and Shenfei Aircraft Design Institute can get a share of the export of this aircraft, but it cannot be directly imitated on the aerodynamic layout of this aircraft. ”
Xie Ditao exchanged glances with Sun Shicong, who nodded and said, "This is no problem." ”
"What I mean is that after the establishment of a joint venture subsidiary, a joint working group will be set up to be responsible for the overall R&D, design, production and manufacturing of this aircraft, and the Shenfei Aircraft Design Institute can use our equipment resources, and the R&D progress and process of the entire project must be strictly in accordance with the joint working group. ”
Yang Jie looked at Xie Ditao and said: "This project is a business project within our company, the big food country wants to make money with this money, our company is responsible for customers, what I need is technical personnel, I don't want you to send a group of officials who don't do practical things to prevaricate and delay this project, if you can promise me to let my secretariat sign a specific contract with you, if not, then forget it, we can do it ourselves." ”
Xie Ditao pondered for a moment and said, "We can agree to this." ”
After the establishment of a joint venture between Huaxing Group and Hongdu Group Company and Changhe Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the management team is basically from technicians, and the management model is formulated by Huaxing Group Company, which has also proved that this model is very effective over the years.
Now, how to establish a joint venture between Shenfei Aircraft Design Institute and Huake Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., and according to this model, Xie Ditao also believes that there will not be much resistance.
"Yang Shao, if you can complete the development of this stealth fighter, can you hand over part of the order task to Shenfei Group Company to complete?"
Xie Ditao looked at Yang Jie and asked.
"It depends on whether Shenfei Group has the technical strength to complete the production task, and if it meets the requirements of production quality specifications and delivery speed, we can transfer part of the order. ”
Yang Jie also knows the assembly capacity of Shenfei Group Company, the assembly method still continues the traditional design and manufacturing from the J-8 good J-11 family, and the assembly method is difficult to adapt to the high-precision needs of the new aircraft, especially the assembly method is mostly carried out by manual supplementary processing and repeated trial assembly, the efficiency is very low, the quality is also unstable, it is difficult to meet the needs of mass production, and there will be deformation interference in the follow-up flight use, resulting in local warping, delamination, nail drop and other damage.
In his previous life, Yang Jie remembered that the stealth fighter developed by Shen Fei himself was pitted on the surface of the fuselage during an air show, which was simply miserable, which showed that the aircraft structure design and assembly process were really poor, and foreign customers were not interested at a glance, and it was naturally normal for them to not get overseas orders.
Yang Jie won't say anything about this, but it would not be a bad thing to take this opportunity to force Shenfei Group to improve in this regard.
He talked with Xie Ditao, Sun Shicong and others for a while, and they had no opinion on Yang Jie's request, after all, they had a request for Yang Jie, and Yang Jie's request was not too much, if Yang Jie didn't agree, they would have no choice.
Although Yang Jie is not a member of the system, he is just a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but his influence in the international community is huge, and he is a super-rich man, the central government attaches great importance to his opinions, and there is really no official in China who dares to force him to agree to such a thing for such a person.
Since Yang Jie agreed, Sun Shicong also felt that Yang Jie threw a rope at them, and he was also pleasantly surprised in his heart, thinking that this was a very rare opportunity, and the design firm must firmly grasp it!
The next day, Yang Jie also flew to Qingdao by private plane to inspect the Qingdao branch of Honghu Shipping Company.
Yang Jie and others took an oil tanker to Xuejiadao and rushed to the Haixi Bay Shipbuilding Base, and the Honghu Shipbuilding Company also followed the Shipbuilding Industry Group Corporation to invest in the construction of a shipyard here.
The shipyard started construction two years ago, construction has been completed so far, and construction is now underway on a 7,000-ton cable-laying ship.
The cable-laying ship was ordered by Nanao Group Company, and the design drawings were jointly designed by the Honghu Shipbuilding Company Design Institute and a Dutch design company with experience in building cable-laying ships, and it is also the largest submarine cable-laying ship in China at this stage.
Yang Jie knows that the market capacity of submarine optical cables is very small, the market capacity of the world is only tens of billions per year, and the European side of this market has an absolute advantage in this regard, so he does not want to compete with many submarine optical cable laying ship companies for such a small capacity market.
At present, the total number of dedicated optical cable laying ships in the world is only 51. From the point of view of operational use, there are 3 ships that are idle.
In terms of ship age, the age of the cable-laying ship is relatively high, most of them are old ships built before 2000 or put into use after refit, 17 ships were built after 2000, and there are 2 ships built in 1966 that are currently in operation.
In terms of ship size, the length of the ship ranges from more than 30 meters to more than 100 meters, and the maximum length of the ship type is more than 150 meters. From the perspective of the development trend of ship type, the characteristics of large-scale are significant, and the small ships with a length of less than 100 meters in the fleet were built relatively early, more than half of them were built before 1990, and only 5 of the 17 ships completed and delivered after 2000 were below 100 meters.
The concentration of these fleets is low, and European shipowners dominate, and now there are 51 cable-laying vessels in the hands of 28 shipowners in the world, with the largest number of single shipowners holding a Swiss company with 8 ships, followed by the British gmg with 6 ships, and the French company LDa with 4 ships, ranking third, and most shipowners only have 1 ship.
These cable-laying ships are mainly concentrated in Europe, there are 10 countries in Europe with cable-laying ships, a total of 35, accounting for nearly 70% of the world's total, and there are only 7 ships of more than 10,000 tons in the world, all of which are in Europe, including 6 Swiss TE companies and 1 British GMG.
These old Western developed countries have very strong technical strength in marine engineering, and they have started to play very early in the laying of submarine cables and optical cables, and the domestic experience in this area is obviously insufficient.
However, Yang Jie values the market of submarine power cables, and the Key Research Institute of Ultra High Voltage Power Equipment of Nanao Group Company, a subsidiary of Huaxing Group, has been conducting research and development on submarine composite photoelectric cables, and is now ready.
Nanao Group has launched large-scale marine wind power projects in several coastal provinces of Qiongzhou, Qilu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, with a total scale of 1,370 megawatts and an investment scale of more than 5 billion.
Nanao Group has ordered a total of three such cable-laying vessels from Honghu Shipping Company, which is to use these offshore wind power projects to practice.
After accumulating sufficient experience, the company will begin to participate in the international submarine power and fiber optic cable market, especially to undertake the construction of submarine power cables from the Middle East to Europe.
Offshore wind power projects are much larger in the European market, and many coastal countries are investing in large-scale offshore wind projects, with annual investments in the tens of billions of dollars, and the strongest competitor in this area is Siemens.
Huaxing Group, which has made technical reserves for so many years, is no longer afraid to compete with Siemens, a giant company, in terms of power equipment.
In terms of wind turbine technology, because Huaxing Group has invested frantically in motor technology over the years, and has come to the forefront of the world in permanent magnet generator technology, and has not lost to Siemens in ultra-high voltage power technology, Yang Jie naturally wants to enter this market to grab a piece of cake.
