The ultra-low density of low-manganese steel foam is comparable to that of plastic foam, providing the possibility of direct offshore assembly on offshore mining platforms.

After the construction of the Shensi Zone, some large groups that participated in the construction project, such as Shensi Group, Huaguo Marine Construction Group, and Huaguo Shipbuilding Group, have accumulated rich experience in offshore construction of super-large platforms.

This kind of experience is unique on the planet today, and it can increase the construction rate of the current Haishenwei oil well platform by at least 30%.

The yacht deck is low, and all the ships around it are taller than it, and even some of the conditions on the platform are not visible.

After boarding a strangely shaped engineering ship, Alexander's vision instantly widened, and he couldn't help but look at the scene in front of him in amazement.

On the surrounding engineering ships and the 3.4-kilometer base of the offshore mining platform, countless industrial exoskeletons of different colors and sizes walk around, like robots, making people feel as if they have entered the future world.

Chief Engineer Mao introduced to everyone on the side, mainly to explain to Jiang Yuan:

"Now there are many types of exoskeletons, there are more than a dozen here, there are too many types of functions, it is easy to figure it out from a distance, it is inconvenient for construction and operation, even with DT2 is more troublesome. We found that color is the most intuitive way to distinguish, such as yellow is the macho series, blue is the welding series, and so on......"

Jiang Yuan nodded while watching, after he got the pons, he didn't pay much attention to the follow-up development of the exoskeleton.

He glanced casually, then turned his head, pointed to the engineering ship at his feet, and smiled at Alexander and Maria:

"This ship is a jet molding engineering ship, the latest research results of Shensi Group, Huahai Construction and Huachuan Group. ”

Alexander then focused his attention on the ship at his feet.

It's a bit like a crane ship, but it's a little different.

The deck of the ship is high and flat, like a large oil tanker. In the middle of the deck stood two tall steel brackets with pipes passing through them, and then divided into seven or eight spouts of different shapes at the ends.

Alexander stomped on the deck and asked curiously:

"This is a 100,000-ton oil tanker?"

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"Yes. Jet molding is a new technology of Shensi Group, and this ship is actually a prototype experimental ship, but the project here is too rushed, so it was brought over. ”

New technology again?

Alexander was silent.

Other people's new technologies can only be developed in five years or even five or ten years, but Jiang Yuan's side is like a wholesale.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, didn't explain much, and said to Chief Engineer Mao:

"Let's get started. ”

"Yes. Chief Engineer Mao immediately issued an order in DT2, and the jet shaping ship slowly moved.

With the in-depth research of low-manganese steel foam in the 405 research base, not only the peripheral tools have been improved, but also some key results have been slowly achieved.

During the construction of the Shensi Zone, the construction workers found that the biggest problem of low-manganese steel is that it is too large and inconvenient to transport.

Later, engineers invented the offshore low-manganese steel manufacturing plant, which is a medium-sized factory of about 5,000 square meters built at sea. It can use the low-manganese steel foaming agent and pure manganese steel grit shipped from outside and domestically to manufacture low-manganese steel on the offshore site, thereby greatly reducing the transportation cost and improving the construction speed.

This offshore low-manganese steel manufacturing plant played a huge role in the construction of the Shensi Zone, and now there is one on the No. 1 well platform.

However, Jiang Yuan felt that this speed was still not fast enough.

No way, the task is too tricky, 'conquering the ocean' requires the construction of a 1,000-square-kilometer offshore platform within two years!

It is estimated that it will not be completed in 10 years by manufacturing low-manganese steel foam and then placing it by engineering ships and workers.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan evolved the low-manganese steel foaming agent and obtained a new type of liquid catalyst-water-contact reactive low-manganese steel foaming agent.

This is also a new work of Qian Ouhuang, which can delay the reaction time of the foaming agent and low-manganese steel grit to form low-manganese steel foam, and it will not react until it comes into contact with seawater, so there is this jet shaping ship.

At this moment, the jet ship sailed near the empty sea surface surrounded by a floating chain of low-manganese steel foam, and in a short time a large amount of dark brown oily liquid was sprayed from a circular vent.

The dark brown liquid is lighter than seawater, and when it falls on the surface of the sea, it instantly expands, and then quickly generates a large amount of low-manganese steel foam, and then a large piece of low-manganese steel foam appears on the surface of the sea.

In Alexander's shocked eyes, in just 20 minutes, a platform about 100 centimeters thick appeared about one square kilometer, filling the blank sea.

The speed of building this platform is a hundred times faster than before!

"This!" Alexander's eyes were about to pop out, too fast!

1,000 square kilometers is finally hopeful!

Jiang Yuan looked at everything in front of him with great satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"Alexander, with this kind of ship, the speed at which we can build the platform will be guaranteed!"

When the low-manganese steel foam has stabilized, the circular spout begins to spray again.

The mixture falls on the surface of the freshly generated low-manganese steel foam and glistens in the sunlight like a dark brown oil.

At the same time, another stand moved in action, reorienting, and a giant shower-like spout at the end began to sprinkle seawater on the mixture.

The mixture expanded rapidly again, and soon another layer of 100 cm of low-manganese steel foam appeared.

Alexander swallowed dryly.

Chief Engineer Mao was next to him and introduced with great interest:

"By controlling the ratio of seawater to the low-manganese steel grit mixture, we can glue the newly generated upper layer of low-manganese steel foam to the next layer of low-manganese steel foam, just like welding. Don't look at the speed now, it's just the base. After the base reaches five meters, the column is shaped and ejected from it, and then a platform is built on it. Overall, about a 100,000-ton jet shaping ship can lay out one square kilometer per week. Now this ship is a conversion of a previous oil tanker, and about one can be converted every week. CSSC is developing a special jet shaping ship, with the goal of reaching more than 5 times the speed of the converted ship......"

Jiang Yuan watched the operation of the engineering ship with satisfaction.

Now we will mine the Maoxiong family's mine, and Huaguo's oil mines can be mined later, just like the Eagle Country did before.

It is just the right thing to pull the woolly bear by the way and add to the congestion of Western countries.

With this kind of artifact of offshore construction, there is no need to rush to exploit the territorial waters of China on a large scale, which just avoids the sensitive southeast coast and saves the eagle country.

Let those small Southeast Asian countries occupy it first, they don't have the ability to exploit anyway, at most they can only fish.

Of course, they can only fish, and if they want to exploit the oil deposits on the seabed, they don't even think about it.

In the context of the global contraction of the Eagle Country, Huaguo may not be able to build oil fields there, but it is still certain to stir up yellow.

Now, if you are poor, put aside the controversy.

In a few more years, the strength of the Chinese country will become stronger, and it will naturally become since ancient times.
