Jensen smiled and said, "...... What Mr. Simon meant was that they would be able to assist Dahua in developing better technologies. ”

Simon realized something and said, "Our technology is very strong, and with Mr. Sioux City's engineering staff, we can get very high-end products at a relatively low price." ”

In the eyes of the Germans, the Chinese are just good construction workers. Of course, almost all Westerners think highly of themselves.

Sioux City has more international contacts, and he is not busy getting angry, so he first asked: "How much can the $6 million oil rig be improved compared to our current oil rig?"

"This ...... The recovery factor is definitely a little higher, but it is mainly due to the composite indicators. We are at the leading level in design safety, drilling efficiency, and automation. Simon gradually became excited when it came to the technical aspect, saying: "For example, drilling efficiency, through precise calculations and accurate construction, in the case of a 3-meter wave, the drilling platform can still be stable, and the drilling can continue to be drilled, and the 4-meter high wave can also be used in standby operation at wind speed...... In the case of typhoons, there is no problem in ensuring the safety of the platform. ”

Sioux City was slightly surprised, but only surprised.

Such an indicator, in the drilling technology of the century, is almost weak and irreparable. Some of the textbooks he studied were better introduced. Even by the standards of 1989, the indicators mentioned by Simon were only slightly higher, but, as Simon said, the Germans paid the price of precise calculations and accurate construction to obtain such indicators.

In other words, in order to increase the target by about 10%, it is possible for Fenor Shipbuilding to increase the cost by 20% and the price by 40%.

Su Cheng said secretly: No wonder it is so expensive.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng smiled and asked, "In the shallow sea area of Abu Dhabi, is the wave of more than 3 meters frequent?"

"Naturally, there are quite a few of them, and we expect that there will be more than 6 days of waves of more than 3 meters per year, and the wind and wave resistance indicators will be able to make our drilling work longer than the interval. Simon looked serious.

"So in the waves that are more than 3 meters high, there are some waves that are more than 4 meters, so how many?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, his voice deepened, and he said, "We haven't calculated this. ”

"More than 30 days. In addition, there are about 10 days left, and it is a wave of more than 5 meters. Sioux City looked at Jensen and said, "If it's just this level, it doesn't seem like much of an increase in rig efficiency." ”

Simon's face was ugly and he defended: "Even so, our rig is still at the leading level. ”

"There is no doubt about it. However, let's take a look at our sea trials today. Su Cheng smiled and stepped off the rig first.

After the tour, the rig will be started up independently by 12 workers. Soon, Su Cheng, Lin Yonggui, Jensen and others all returned to the commuter boat.

Simon knew that the business was yellow, and he was very unhappy, and he no longer cared about the sea trials in front of him.

The Chinese on the ship, speaking in a language he was not familiar with, he was not in the mood to listen to the translation.

Lin Yonggui and others were very serious.

Sha Mingyin wore a bright yellow uniform and carefully carried out the final inspection: "The Dahua Industrial Cable Bottom-type Offshore Drilling Platform has been accurately put in place. The operation plan is complete, the equipment is in good condition, the team is fully prepared, and the drilling conditions have been met, please instruct. ”

Lin Yonggui said solemnly: "After receiving my announcement, Dahua Industrial No. 005 bottom-type offshore drilling platform has started drilling. ”

Sha Mingyin pressed the button with his thumb, and after a brief silence, the sea water was stirred slowly but firmly.

With a telescope, Simon was able to see the rotating drill pipe and the protective layer on the outside.

The sea in front of you, like a bowl of eggs being broken apart by chopsticks, alternates between green and gray, accompanied by the deafening sound of a drilling rig.

After Sha Mingyin confirmed it again and again, he said on the walkie-talkie: "The drilling rig is running normally, the platform is operating stably, and the drilling rig continues to stretch in." ”

Simon and Jensen are both very familiar with this and don't feel anything in particular.

However, the masters of the Yushima oil field have their hands firmly grasped the railing. For them, the creation of an offshore drilling platform is a pioneering initiative, with which they no longer need to engage in any tricks of offshore oil and land production, but really march into the ocean.

Su Cheng watched quietly, without revealing the agitation in his heart, he had already developed an expression of honor and disgrace, but in fact, his heart was also excited.

Step by step, the rig went down.

Due to the shallow sea, the sediment soon turned up, and the total amount was not very large, and the drilling rig maintained the same sound.

It's a long process for people who are nervous...... When the sea stopped spilling mud, the sound of drilling changed abruptly.

This time, even Lin Yonggui held on to the railing.

Soon the voice of Sha Mingyin came from the intercom: "Entering the rock formation, the drilling rig is running smoothly. ”

A few people who pinched their fingers turned white couldn't help laughing.

People from the head office have already begun to celebrate with their palms.

In the case of testing the drill floor, whether the oil is drilled is not the point, and the drilling rig can run stably, which means that the drill floor is normal.

Lin Yonggui waited for a minute, turned around, and said to Su Cheng: "Congratulations to Dahua Laboratory for completing the localization development and production of the bottom-type offshore drilling platform. ”

"Thank you to the Shengli Oilfield Authority for your support. Su Cheng's words were all filmed and recorded by the accompanying reporters.

The drilling rig is still drilling steadily.

The communication ship turned and met on the shore.

There, the crowd that received the news had long since boiled over with dancing red flags and crazy running, which was a good way to vent their energy, and there were people rushing into the sea and fluttering desperately in the icy waters.

Simon looked at it incomprehensibly, these shy and introverted yellow-skinned middle-aged people were the same as young people, fanatically celebrating, and said unconsciously: "It's just a shallow sea drilling platform, and it's a small platform for trial operation, if we use our equipment, the effect will only be better......"

Su Cheng was separated by two positions, heard his words, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Simon, when I was studying, I never dared to forget what the teacher said. ”

"What?"

Su Cheng stood up straight, raised his voice slightly, and said in Chinese: "The offshore drilling platform is the 'mobile land', Mr. Simon, we will not hand over our land to foreigners." ”

This sentence was said loudly and soundly, and immediately resonated with the Chinese.

Simon waited 10 seconds before hearing the translation and immediately put away his smile.

Land is always a serious proposition.

Lin Yonggui put his arm around Su Cheng's shoulder, waited for the boat to stop, and walked down with him.

Simon and Jensen were left behind, listening to the cheers of hundreds of people, and their hearts were ready to move.
