Volume 1: Monsters Rise!Chapter 104: Repairs Begin

Next chapter

Modern ships, especially large ocean-going vessels.

It has a very high level of automation, is also a variety of auxiliary systems, and is the most widely used means of transport.

An ocean-going giant ship can cost tens of millions of dollars, and it is more expensive to transport special items such as oil and gas, or high-pressure gas.

The various operating numbers of these ships are monitored by computer, and an alarm will be given immediately in case of abnormality.

If a fault like a stuck spindle is not the first officer in charge, it will not give the spindle a chance to be damaged at all.

Of course, the main bearing can not withstand the huge torque and cracks, which also shows that the forging technology of this spindle is not up to standard.

Large forgings have dark wounds, which is unavoidable.

The size of the forging is too large, and the temperature changes and distributes unevenly when the forging is heated and cooled. When forging is deformed, the plastic flow of the metal is different, or the foreign matter in the material is not cleanly separated, which will cause the overall structure of the forging to have defects.

Perfection exists only in the human imagination and in the monster factory.

The only difference is that there are some technologies and equipment that can control the defects within a tolerable range. Of course, there are occasional undetectable defects, and that's just an accident.

Probably because of the torrential rain that had just fallen, the weather on the sea today was exceptionally clear, and the calm and calm waves made people feel very comfortable.

The speedboat sailed at high speed on the surface for more than 40 minutes, and occasionally you could see a huge cargo ship that was so large that it was shocking, passing by in the distance.

In the end, when a Panamax container ship with the Heung-A logo on the side of the blue ship slowly zoomed in on it, Ye Qing knew that the destination of this trip had arrived.

Heung-A is a well-known shipping company in South Korea, with a number of container ships and oil carriers.

The speedboat drove to the 45,000-ton huge freighter, and then two steel cables hung down from its head, buckled the two ends of the speedboat, and lifted the speedboat up.

Seven or eight crew members in red nautical suits quickly gathered around, and their eyes were full of incredulity when they looked at the huge laborers, and the huge size of nearly two meters was the focus of everyone wherever they went.

What's more, this big man also has a mechanical device that looks quite heavy in one hand.

After exchanging a few words, one of them stepped forward and said in stiff Chinese: "Hello, welcome to our Yuefu number!"

"Hello!" Ye Qing nodded at him, this crew member had a lot of oil stains on his body, and the clothes he wore were different from others, Ye Qing estimated that he might be the chief engineer.

"Mr. Jin, do you think it's important to go to the power compartment first and check the damaged spindle?" Liu Yuanzheng was in a hurry.

His tens of thousands of tons of vegetables rested on this ship, and the vegetables rotted in the delay, and the loss could kill him.

Don't expect how much these people can compensate, the low compensation ratio of the domestic logistics industry is scared to death, these Koreans are not high, and the conscience of the capitalists is as black as the whole world.

"This gentleman, may I ask, what method are you going to use to repair the spindle?" Chief Engineer Jin Xunshan asked slowly: "The technicians of Huaxing Heavy Industry just now are not capable of repairing the spindle. ”

"Let's weld or melt alloy powder bonding. Ye Qing didn't care too much, whether it could be done not in words, but in actual action.

"Can you guarantee its structural strength, this spindle is manufactured by our modern heavy industry, its metallurgical technology is more advanced than you imagined, what if you repair it, what if it breaks when it starts up?"

"What's the big deal, I won't charge you money?" Ye Qing looked at him with some amusement, how could it crack if the technology was advanced?

"That's not going to work, we've got to sign an agreement. If it still cracks after repairing, you will have to compensate us for the loss of man-hours. Chief Engineer Jin Xunshan said with some displeasure: "If it weren't for Mr. Liu Yuanzheng's strong request to repair the main shaft, we would have contacted the tugboat of Zhongyun Port and asked them to tow the Yuefu into the port again." ”

"It has been delayed for four hours now, and it is for the sake of Mr. Liu Yuanzheng's face that we agreed to try to repair the spindle. Otherwise, at this time, we have entered the port and started to lift the goods to the dock for transshipment work. ”

Ye Qing didn't speak, and Liu Yuan almost jumped up and poked his mother in anger.

The transfer of container ships is not as simple as two cars leaning together and workers going up to move goods.

The container cranes at the terminal all have a fixed working range and can move a short distance and are very slow. A container ship is moving, which requires a crane to unload the container and lift it onto a truck. The truck is then transported to the crane in charge of the other vessel and hoisted to the other vessel.

Thousands of containers are not possible without two days, and this is based on the fact that there are at least six spare cranes working at the same time at the terminal.

Now the situation is that there is still hope for a try, and if you don't try him, Liu Yuanzheng will lose tens of millions.

"Mr. Jin, a considerable part of the vegetables I exported are purchased by the Xinyou Group for processing dehydrated vegetables. There was no way, Liu Yuanzheng had to move out of another large-scale company on their side to exert pressure: "I don't mind calling President Song and reporting your negative behavior to him." ”

"Then let you give it a try, explain in advance, if you are not sure, don't try to delay our time in order to make money. Chief Engineer Kim Hoon-san turned and walked towards the hatch.

Liu Yuanzheng's face was full of apologies, Ye Qing was introduced by Li Huaxing. Since Li Huaxing praised Ye Qing's company's ability, Liu Yuanzheng certainly believed that Ye Qing was sure.

Even if it can't be repaired in the end, Liu Yuanzheng doesn't have any complaints.

I didn't expect the chief engineer to believe in their technology so much that he didn't even want to give it a try.

"Mr. Liu, don't be angry. Ye Qing commanded the Juli Laborer Conveyor and persuaded: "The technology of repairing the spindle has never been seen by ordinary people, and it is normal for them to have suspicions. ”

"Mr. Ye, you are generous. Liu Yuanzheng sighed.

When walking along the aisle next to the building-like container, Ye Qing snorted coldly in his heart, if this situation didn't kill them, he was sorry for his conscience.

Anyway, it wasn't Liu Yuanzheng who paid for it, the equipment was damaged by the negligence of their crew, so naturally they had to pay for it.

The modern ship, which is very neat and scientifically arranged, follows the bright metal walkway, passes through watertight doors and escalators, and finally comes to the power compartment at the bottom of the stern, full of oil and asphalt smells.

A diesel engine sits horizontally in the center of the power compartment, to which various thick pipes are attached.

This is a nearly 300-ton 15,000 horsepower, two-stroke low-speed diesel engine produced by Hyundai Heavy Industries, which burns not diesel in the ordinary sense, but heavy oil with very high viscosity.

The large gearbox of the house separates the two power shafts, which are connected to the stern shafts of the two propellers.

The power shaft of a large ship is usually divided into two sections, the latter part is the stern shaft, because it needs to be sealed to prevent seawater from rushing into the cabin.

The fault was on the left front axle, and when Ye Qing got closer, he could clearly smell a strong smell of burning, which was the smell of marine lubricants when heated at high temperatures.

The protective shield of this power shaft has been opened, and on the smooth surface of the power shaft, which is about the thickness of Juli's hard worker's waist, a finger thick, and a crack on it more than twenty centimeters is inlaid on it.

Chief Engineer Jin Xunshan and several sailors stood aside with their arms in their arms.

There was an easily perceptible disdain on their faces, an expression of disdain that stemmed from their knowledge of machinery and their confidence in Hyundai Heavy Industries.

Hyundai Heavy Industries is a world-class integrated heavy industry company and the cradle of their heavy industry. Among them, the "Shipbuilding Division" and "Engine Division" are well-known in the world.

As soon as the spindle was damaged, they contacted the Hyundai Heavy Industries Engine Division and reported the damage.

The answer is that it cannot be repaired, so why can a small company in Huaxia repair the spindle?

"It's just a waste of time, the crack is so big, are they really going to burn the bond with alloy powder? I know, it's only suitable for repairing small wear spots?" said one of the sailors in his native dialect, slightly mockingly.

"Maybe electric welding, or the most common arc welding, is the kind of welding with a welding rod. ”

"Can you start?" said Chief Engineer Kim Hoon-san in stiff Chinese.

"It's very rude to chew your tongue behind your back. Ye Qing said a little unceremoniously.

Of course, I also understand that wisdom and technology are always divided into high and low, and there are always a few who master advanced technology. Ye Qingchong glanced at Master Ingenuity and signaled that he could start work.

Juli brought two pieces of equipment over, one is a solid laser welder of excellent quality, with its own welding strength +15%, welding accuracy +5% attributes.

The other is a high-power electric grinding machine, which is also of excellent quality.

The Juli Laborer stood beside Ye Qing coolly and did not speak, and the Exquisite Master walked to the crack of this power shaft with a look full of disdain.

In his eyes, the machines made by humans are all garbage, and all kinds of flaws are everywhere. Ye Qing estimated that if he moved an F22 engine in front of him, he would be able to find a lot of faults.

It's too easy to slaughter this kind of fat sheep, and if you pick something wrong with it, they will be willing to pay it with both hands.
