"CCTV, CCTV, this is CCTV. The long-awaited cruise ship finally appeared before our eyes, and it was almost bigger than we could have imagined, a cruise ship that surpassed any aircraft carrier today. According to reports, the ship is converted from a 300,000-ton tanker, with a length of about 306.55 meters, a width of about 58 meters, a line depth (from the bottom of the ship to the main deck) of about 28.8 meters, a displacement of about 158,000 tons, and a main deck area equivalent to 2.5 standard football fields......"

Not only were the spectators stunned, but even the CCTV reporters were dumbfounded.

"Big, it's too big. ”

"I didn't expect that we would have such a big cruise ship in China. ”

"No, he's not a cruise ship anymore, he's a supercrane now. ”

Even if the supercrane stopped for a while, the crowd of spectators was still shocked.

"So, this time we should be able to get the job done. ”

"Well, with such a big crane ship, maybe we can really complete this world-class mission. ”

"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it. ”

Everyone changed from waiting impatiently to incomparable expectations.

If this is indeed done, then they are witnessing a world-class miracle today.

"Cut, isn't it just a little bigger, so you need to be so excited?"

Although the displacement of this crane ship is large enough, it may not be large, and he can lift 10,000 tons of immersed tubes. ”

"Wait and see, although lifting is a force work, it is also a precision work. ”

The Japanese media on one side have a bad face.

Just now, they reported to China that Huaguo's joint mission today was about to be completed, but they didn't expect a giant cruise ship to come in just a few minutes.

However, knowing the difficulty of this joint, they are still extremely contemptuous.

"Audience friends, the super crane ship has stopped steadily at 50 meters of the bridge. ”

"The whole joint task has officially begun. ”

"We can see that the supercrane has begun to spread its arms, and under those arms are 80 slings. Each rope is more than 40 cm wide, each rope is composed of more than 100,000 high-strength fiber filaments, and 40 workers hang 80 ropes on the final joint......"

CCTV media reporters were extremely excited to continue to introduce the performance of this super crane ship.

"Whether or not you can lift 10,000 tons of immersed pipes is a matter of one move. ”

Staring at the screen, countless spectators did not blink their eyes, and they were afraid of missing even a second of footage.

"Here we go. ”

"The sling has been hung on the immersed tube, and it depends on whether this big guy can lift the 10,000-ton immersed tube. ”

The shore spectator raises his heart to his throat.

"One. ”

"II. ”

"Three. ”

However, the reality is not so difficult.

Although this does seem to be a world-class difficulty.

In anticipation of countless people, the supercrane ship twisted 80 slings into a straight line with a flick of its arms.

Immediately under the impetus of the boom, the boom ......

This immersed tube, which weighs 10,000 tons, was lifted by the super crane ship.

"Ahhh......h

"Hung up. ”

"Look, it's hanging. ”

Crazy applause, screams, like a tidal wave.

"It's incredible. ”

"I didn't expect us Chinese to really do it. ”

"A certain country has seen it, without you, we Chinese can do the same." ”

Hold one's head high.

At this moment, countless Chinese people can really be regarded as raising their eyebrows.

"It's amazing. ”

"I thought it would be very difficult to lift a 10,000-ton immersed tube, but I didn't expect that the big guy to hang it up with just a light lift. ”

"Hehe, do you think it's so simple to talk about it, and to be able to hang it so easily, the more it proves that our technology is awesome. ”

"Yes, yes, this time you're right. ”

The audience was all boiling.

Even if they waited four hours hungry, they felt worth it.

"So, is it done now?"

"I'm so hungry, I'm ready to eat. ”

"What to eat, this is just the beginning, it's not finished yet. ”

"Ah, didn't you say that lifting 10,000 tons of immersed tube would be completed?"

"Lifting is only the first step, and if it were that simple, then the Japanese company would not have withdrawn. If you see it, the 10,000-ton immersed pipe still has to be connected 30 meters underwater. In other words, after we hoist the immersed tube, we must also accurately insert 10,000 tons of immersed tube into the foundation tank under 30 meters of water. ”

"Good professional look. ”

"That's what I learned. ”

"So, is this difficult?"

"If I tell you that this is more than three times more difficult than lifting 10,000 tons of immersed tubes, would you believe it?"

"I ...... Grass"

At this time, some hungry spectators did not want to leave.

Nima, at such a critical moment, you must watch it before leaving.

"It's great that the supercrane has successfully lifted the 10,000-ton immersed tube into the air. However, this is only the first step. The second step is to install the 10,000-ton immersed pipe into a foundation tank 30 meters underwater. However, it is different from the previous installation. The previous installation was a single-sided joint, but this time, because it was the last joint, it was a double-sided joint. ”

"The super crane ship not only needs to accurately insert this 10,000-ton immersed tube into the 30-meter underwater foundation tank, but at the same time, more strictly, the underwater installation margin of the foundation tank is only a dozen centimeters. In other words, such a large man of more than 10,000 tons, he only has a dozen centimeters of space to move underwater......"

CCTV media reporters continued to introduce the situation of the entire "joint closure".

However, the more he introduced, the more frightened he became.

If you just plug it into the sink in the usual way, you can do it, but the accuracy will never go up, and it will cause the final fitting to fail. The perfect way is to rotate the 10,000-ton immersed tube 180 degrees in the air to find the best angle to insert it......

But, before that.

Not to mention that a 10,000-ton immersed tube is rotated in the air, even if it is 6,000 tons, no other country has dared to do so.

You know, it's not on land.

This is in the ocean.

Once the operation is not good, even if you have a displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons, even a super giant ship with a displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons may also make you roll on your side.

Japan is most aware of this.

At the same time, some technical experts in the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands are also aware of its difficulties.

Because when the bridge was built, there was a desire for them to participate in this area. However, after learning about the difficulty of the whole design, the countries gave up on cooperation. It's not that they don't want to cooperate, it's that it's too difficult for them to accomplish.

And now, this big man, who surpasses any other normal air carrier today, is about to accomplish this earth-shattering feat.

"The arms of the supercrane began to spin. ”

"The 10,000-ton immersed tube began to turn in mid-air. ”

"My God......"

Although the amplitude of rotation is very slow, in front of the camera, he is indeed spinning.

10 degrees.

20 degrees.

45 degrees.

Crane ships are looking for the most suitable angle.

60 degrees.

80 degrees.

167 degrees.

After the supercrane rotated 167 degrees, finally, the optimal "joint" angle appeared.
