In the No. 2 workshop, technicians controlled the laser cutting equipment to complete the cutting of the first alloy steel, and the groundbreaking ceremony of the sixth-generation drilling and shipbuilding platform built by Honghu Shipbuilding Group for Royal Dutch Shell was officially concluded.

"Mr. Yang, I heard that your Huaxing Group Company has also built a wind power plant near this shipbuilding base, can I visit it this time?"

Pete Worthon asked.

"Absolutely. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

When Pete Worthen talked to Yang Jie just now, he also talked about the fact that the European Commission will negotiate with Rabbit on shipbuilding equipment in the near future, obviously with the intention of showing goodwill, although Yang Jie also received the rumors, but he can only act as unaware.

When Peter Worthen visited the wind farm, he also noticed that the power plant has installed a lot of energy storage devices, which can provide a stable power supply for the entire Xuejia Island, and also provide a part of the electricity to the coastal cities through submarine cables.

When he learned that these energy storage devices were supercapacitor batteries, he was also quite surprised, and he did not expect that Huaxing Group Company had unknowingly come to the forefront of the world in supercapacitor battery technology.

The biggest defect of wind power generation is the instability of wind power, after all, wind power generation is not stable all year round, some wind turbines generate more than 2,000 hours a year is considered very good, but Huaxing Group is to store these electric energy, can provide stable electricity, can cope with different seasons and different periods of power peak demand.

What surprised Peter Watson even more was that near the power plant, the Huaxing Group also built a desalination plant and a water electrolysis hydrogen production plant.

Although there is a reservoir on Xuejia Island to provide water to the island, the water quality cannot be guaranteed due to the long use of the pipe network and the serious corrosion of the pipeline.

In order to solve this problem, Huaxing Group also built a desalination plant here to meet the increasingly tight water supply here, and this water electrolysis hydrogen production plant also uses the surplus electricity of wind power generation to produce hydrogen, and maximizes the use of wind power generation.

Although the scale of the desalination plant and hydrogen production plant is not large, the equipment used in them is high-tech, and they are the latest products and equipment developed by Huaxing Group in this area over the years.

Pete Worthen was full of praise for these products and equipment, and he also took a boat to the sea where the wind farm is located with great interest.

I saw dozens of huge wind turbines standing on the sea, and at this time, there were construction ships still working on the sea, installing the blades of the wind turbines on the fixed generators.

Pete Watson's eyes widened when he learned that the wind turbine installed at the moment was actually the latest six-megawatt wind turbine developed by the Nanao Group Company.

"Mr. Yang, I really didn't expect you to be able to develop such a high-power wind turbine. ”

Yang Jie smiled: "We have been developing high-power wind turbine technology for many years, and this time we can install and utilize a six-megawatt wind turbine for the first time in our Huaxing Group." ”

"Mr. Yang, can your company provide two six-megawatt wind turbines to our group company, I hope that such a high-power wind turbine can allow our group company to complete a series of tests, if the product is very good, our group company will increase the purchase volume. ”

Pete Worthen said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Absolutely. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

He knew that the Royal Dutch Shell Group was also involved in the field of wind power generation, and had built several wind power plants in Europe, but the group company itself did not produce wind turbines, and had previously purchased wind turbines from the Mitsubishi Group of Companies, and the Mitsubishi Group also had shares in these wind power plants.

It would also be a surprise to be able to enter the wind power energy sector in Europe with the help of the Royal Dutch Shell Group.

After returning to Xuejiadao, Yang Jie received a call from the high-level secretariat, and he had to leave in a hurry and rush to Yanjing City.

In Song Xinyang's office, he listened to the briefing of the officials of the Ministry of Commerce, and learned that the EU trade officials came to Yanjing City yesterday, and also proposed that the export of offshore oil equipment to the EU should also include 50% of the technical requirements of European products.

EU officials claim that the EU has provided support for Europe's offshore oil development, so the construction of facilities related to offshore oil development must meet certain localization requirements, and the EU agreed that this time Royal Dutch Shell Group will import the sixth generation drilling platform from the rabbit country, but the subsequent projects on this platform must include products produced by European companies, the proportion of which must not be less than 50%.

And not only that, some high-end equipment products are also implemented in accordance with this, and these EU officials also said that the rabbit country is the first, and they are just learning from it.

The Ministry of Commerce immediately reported to Song Xinyang, and Song Xinyang also called Yang Jie over this time, after all, many high-end equipment Huaxing Group companies accounted for a lot of proportion.

"The Europeans have learned to be good this time!"

Yang Jie said with a smile.

"You kid can laugh, the content of this European negotiation includes marine engineering equipment and wind power generation equipment, which will have a great impact on the export of our domestic high-end equipment to Europe. ”

Song Xinyang said.

"The hand of the Europeans is called the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker, and we are also very difficult. An official from the Ministry of Commerce said.

"Wind power is a renewable energy source, while offshore oil is a non-renewable energy source. It makes sense for us to subsidize wind power, and it is also in line with international practice, and there is no reason for the EU to subsidize offshore oil exploitation. ”

"As long as you find a reason, you can still find a way. ”

Song Xinyang frowned and said, "Their thoughts are the same as ours, they all want to delay time. If we want to question their reasoning, we have to negotiate with them. This kind of thing may be possible for dozens of rounds of cousins, and this will drag on for a few years, and with these times, European companies themselves have also made the sixth-generation platform come out. ”

"Chief Song, I can assure you that if you talk about the sixth-generation drilling platform technology, given five or six years to the Europeans, they will not be able to figure it out. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

"But even if European companies can't do it, it will be bad for us if the time drags on like this. ”

Zeng Jiabao said.

Yang Jie nodded and said: "Indeed, South Korea and Neon Country are not weaker than us in this regard, if we really want to use the products and equipment of these European enterprises, then our cost will rise a lot, and the advantage with them will not be great." ”

"So we're going to get this out as soon as possible. ”

Song Xinyang opened his mouth and said.
