"Our job is to build a frame that completely covers Slipway Zero?"

Gulick was stunned and got the content of their team's work today from the field engineer.

Although the Ulyanovsk has been mostly dismantled, the integrity of the entire weighing structure is not bad. But in order to restore the giant ship, it is still necessary to add strength to the structure that has been damaged during the dismantling process.

As a result, the internal structure of the Ulyanovsk will inevitably suffer. The load, structure, and design and function of the cabin will definitely be affected. In this way, the CIA must not disclose the specific internal information.

Since the repaired Ulyanovsk is just a tool for "blackmail", Yulia, of course, will not repair it as if it were a battleship. What should have been a place for excellence and uncompromise is now a matter of dealing with the past.

As long as the Ulyanovsk can hold out until the day of sea trials, it will be considered to have completed its mission. Therefore, what kind of internal structure and how much combat capability can be achieved must be kept strictly secret.

The resident engineer took the drawings and nodded: "The work of your team is to build a 30-meter-high frame on the north side of 100 meters to 200 meters. After the construction was completed, the entire façade was covered with plastic woven sheeting, understand?"

"A hundred-meter-long, thirty-meter-high frame?" Gulick shook his head vigorously and waved his hand again and again: "There are only ten people in our team, and we can't do it at all with such a large workload!

"You don't have to worry about this, the factory will allocate people for you. ”

The resident engineer looked at his watch, shook his head, and said, "Okay, I have other jobs." Comrade Gulick, you should get the work done first. The specific arrangement, the scheduling side will send the plan to you in a while. ”

"Alright then, let's get to work. Gulick nodded, and turned back to greet his workers.

Nowadays, the workers of the Nikolaev shipyard have become a problem even to eat, and it is like a dream to have a job to do. Ukraine's economy was at the top of the list within the USSR, but that was also within the USSR. How can the military industry, which accounts for the vast majority of the economy, lose all its market immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

The ruble's exchange rate can change two or three times a day, and now it has fallen to the level of almost 2,000 rubles to one dollar. Although Ukraine is the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, once the economy goes wrong, the workers will also go hungry.

The only people in the Nikolaev shipyard who could not go hungry were the workers who could go to work.

Gulick began to assign the work as required by the engineers. Moise was assigned to bundle the pipes, Storov was in charge of transporting the materials, and the others were in charge of measuring and managing the goods, all of which were familiar with the division of labor within the team.

What do you mean by industrial workers?

In the future, there will be hundreds of millions of migrant workers in Chinese factories who will move from the countryside to the cities to work.

The ordinary shipbuilders at the Nikolaev shipyard are in fact the same workers who have worked in state-owned enterprises in northeastern China for decades. On the surface, it seems that they do ordinary work, but it is these ordinary jobs that eventually come together and become the foundation of an industry.

However, it must be said that the migrant workers who go to the city to work are indeed different from those who have lived in factories since childhood.

These differences are not only reflected in the ability to work, but also in whether the concept meets the needs of industrial society.

For example, to put it simply, the old workers who grew up in state-owned enterprises generally have no problems in the implementation of safety discipline. For example, checking oil drums with open flames, smoking in the dust workshop, standing under heavy lifting objects, etc., at least mature workers know not to go back to die, and they are very conscious in the implementation of the safety system - without this awareness, they probably will not live to grow up in the factory.

However, some workers who have not undergone basic education not only do not take the safety system seriously, but even turn a deaf ear to the safety system to achieve the purpose of showing their "individuality". The more you don't let you do anything, the more you have to do it.

How else can we say that the contingent of workers cultivated in China in the first 30 years is the greatest capital for reform and opening up? The so-called industrial workers cannot be said to be counted by driving the peasants into the factories. Without these formed workers, why would the international capital of reform and opening up allow you to undertake so much international division of labor in China?

If you want to say that there are many people and abundant human resources, India is in better condition than China. However, if a factory has a safety production accident twice in three days, no matter how low the labor cost is, it will not be able to withstand the shutdown, compensation, and even the losses caused by the explosion.

This is where the value of these ordinary workers comes in. They have developed a system that works for the work to be done. As long as the tasks are assigned, everyone knows what they have to do and where they are.

Just like military exercises, in addition to confrontational exercises without a plan, those planned exercises that are jokingly called "acting" are also indispensable. The most important role of these "actings" is to ensure that when war really breaks out, everyone in the army knows where they should be and what they should do.

Workers like Gulick, who already have experience assembling aircraft carriers, are the most valuable asset.

They had just started their work, and when they were a little short of manpower, they heard a sound of brakes coming from the road next to the venue. A convoy of two cars and a truck suddenly stopped in the open space where Gulick and the others were working.

As soon as the convoy came to a stop, the people in the car began to dump dumplings. In the front two cars, two strange bodyguards came down from the front seat, and from the back seat were Makarov, the director of the Nikolaev shipyard, and Valery, the chief engineer. In the car behind, in addition to the driver's bodyguard, there was a beautiful woman and an Asian.

On the last truck of the convoy, a group of Asians shouting passwords jumped out of the truck. After jumping out of the car, they began to line up, and stood in two horizontal lines next to the car in a neat and silent manner.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing!"

"It's the director of the Makarov plant!"

There were sharp-eyed people in Gulik's team, who immediately recognized the people who got out of the car, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Factory Director Makarov! Comrade Factory Director! Father Makarov, our life really can't go on!"

"Yes, if the factory doesn't pay wages anymore, our family will starve to death!"

"My child and Lena are crying with hunger, please save us in the factory!"

"Comrades, be quiet, have something to say slowly!"

Makarov pressed it with his hand, and Gulik, as the team leader, began to sort out the discipline, and soon the garbled speech was quiet. In a few moments, the workers of the Gulik team quietly formed a semicircle around Makarov.

"It's been a hard time lately. Makarov was a little ashamed, sighed and said: "The shipyard's wages cannot be paid, and we who are leaders have not done a good job, and the responsibility is very great." ”

The situation at the Nikolaev shipyard to this day is indeed very problematic with decision-making. Had it not been for Norway's shipbuilding contract and scrap steel recycling contract, the company's funding chain would not have been broken, and if it persisted, the Ukrainian government might have tried to rescue it – of course, this is unlikely to happen.

But the current serious predicament of the shipyard really has a lot to do with the dismantling of the Ulyanovsk.

Speaking of this, Makarov cheered up and said with a smile: "But today I want to tell you the good news, we have finally passed the most difficult stage, the Nikolaev shipyard has been officially acquired by the NEMART Group! This means that the shipyard not only has a large amount of money to carry out its business, but the group has promised to pay back all the wages owed by the shipyard to the workers in the past four months!"

"Is this true?"

"Four months! four months' wages!"

The workers made a fussy inquiry, but they had no objection to the change of nature of the shipyard. As long as you can eat, who will you work for?

What's more, the new owners will not only pay the workers, but also admit the arrears of the previous four months, which is simply no more conscientious in the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Hearing such conditions, the workers' first reaction was simply unbelievable.

"Of course it's true!"

Yulia beckoned, and a strong black bear-like bodyguard assistant in a black suit came up and opened a suitcase.

"There is no problem with four months' salary, but how much did you get a month four months ago, and what can you buy now?

Yulia took out a stack of bundled pieces of paper from the suitcase, shook it and said, "I know that everyone is having a hard time, and everyone knows what the price of the ruble is now. Four months' salary may not be enough for a full meal now. The back salary we pay is not a worthless ruble, but a shopping credit in the NEMART mall! 4,000 shopping points per person can ensure that you can eat every meal for a month until your stomach can't be stuffed!"

Yulia's voice fell, and the workers looked at the shopping points in her hand and were silent for a moment—and then suddenly, there was a burst of cheers!

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"
