"What if we could fix it?"

Li Fanyu turned around, as if he was afraid that everyone would not hear clearly, and asked loudly again.

Lu Ming snorted coldly, "Anyone can say big things." If you can really use the Rausch mechanical arm to get the progress of this project down, I'll carry your bag before and after the saddle!"

"Ha!" Li Fanyu looked at him, "Don't say it, I really lack a bag." “

Seeing that the atmosphere that had just eased up was tense again, Xu Shenghe hurriedly waved his hand, "Go in, go in, you two don't be angry, let's talk about these specific issues later, okay?"

Xing Dongliang on the side also wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, go first, go first." ”

As he spoke, the two of them each hugged Li Fanyu and Lu Ming into a cabin that served as a command room.

"The original intention of our use of the rope tower platform is to fancy the characteristics of the simple structure of the platform, the size of the components, and the ability to resist the forces generated by the surrounding environment, in terms of working depth, in the deep water area, the total cost of the construction of this platform is lower than the pile foundation jacket platform, reflecting the cost of steel, construction and installation time, the advantage of this platform is considerable. But now we are faced with the problem of the dilemma of the installation of underwater bases. At a depth of 1,850 meters, it is impossible for us to fully assemble on the surface of the sea and then go down to the bottom of the sea by inclination, and now the only way we can do this is to dive the base part of the sea floor and then connect the upper part of the assembled part of the sea surface by rope traction. ”

Looking at the simple schematic diagram, Li Fanyu already fully understood how this platform was built.

The rope platform is actually like a big octopus floating on the surface of the sea. The platform composed of steel frame structure and large buoyancy body is placed on the sea surface, and then 54 steel ropes with a diameter of 227 mm are used as stretch ropes to tension the seabed in all directions, so that the buoyancy of the whole platform is balanced and fixed.

This platform allows for slight swaying, and since it is not rigidly connected to the foundation piles on the seabed, it can effectively resist the wind and waves caused by seabed earthquakes and seabed movements. It is also suitable for use in areas with unstable seabeds such as the eastern Pacific Ocean.

At present, the water section and platform have been assembled and parked in the nearby sea area with barges. It's just that the base of the main support column of this underwater part, as well as the 9 bases that connect the ropes to play a fixed role on the seabed, have not yet been completed.

Actually, let's be honest. Li Fanyu admits that such a project is quite difficult. For every 100 meters of depth, the cost and difficulty of underwater operations increase exponentially.

And even for a rope-type platform suitable for deep-sea operations, its ideal working depth range is only 550-800 meters. In other words, the current assembly depth of this platform has exceeded twice the normal range!

CNOOC's previous experience in underwater operations is completely useless here.

But seeing this, Li Fanyu's heart has a bottom.

"All you want to do now is fix these piles and connect the platform to them, right?"

Hearing Li Fanyu's question, some CNOOC engineers present showed disdain on their faces.

"Dong Li, this is the case, but in practice, there are more issues that need to be considered. For example, the location of the submarine foundation pile, the uniformity of the collapse distribution ......."

"You just say that you just need to fix the foundation pile according to the position, and then connect it to the platform!" Li Fanyu said impatiently.

"Well, that's right. ”

Li Fanyu nodded, "That's okay." I know about what to do. You guys prepare the piles, I see that the piles you went into the water before are all assembled, and you don't need them this time. It can be transported into the sea in the form of parts, directly assembled underwater by using the Jiaolong, and then riveted with the fixed point. ”

Hearing his command, several CNOOC engineers immediately raised objections.

"Li Dong, don't talk nonsense to the layman! Do you know that even if the pedestal parts are assembled on water, it will take nearly 120 minutes to make them all. The Jiaolong's operation time under 2,000 meters of water is only half an hour! Moreover, the riveting between these parts is carried out in a low-temperature and high-pressure environment underwater, do you know how difficult it is?

Later, when the project progress stalled, we also tried yarn, and Jiaolong went into the water 12 times, but we did not complete the installation of even a single base. The thirteenth time I went down again, the operators crashed!"

Li Fan smiled foolishly, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Qing and Xing Dongliang beside him, and then said to the two who interrupted him: "We are different." The tools you use are a generation away from the ones we use. ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about the distrust or disdain on the faces of Lu Ming and the others, he got up directly and explained to Liu Qing: "Qingzi, start the training of underwater operators. ”

"Gotcha!" Liu Qing demonstrated, and agreed loudly.

Looking at Lu Ming and the others, Li Fanyu yawned, "I have already come up with a plan, and it is up to you whether to adopt it or not." It's a long journey, so I won't worry about you here. “

Under the complicated expressions of a group of CNOOC people, they all walked out of the cabin, and he turned back again: "Oh, yes. Don't forget to call me when you eat later. ”

......

After Li Fanyu left, Zhengxin's engineers and technicians had already begun training the underwater operators of the Marine Exploration Bureau.

In the cabin where the conference room was located, Lu Ming, Xu Shenghe and other project commanders were still discussing the hastily and casually planned plan given by Li Fanyu, which seemed so casual that it didn't look like it could be completed at all.

"Mr. Lu, what should I do with Li Fanyu's plan? Now I don't have time, if he can't do this, we have no hope of completing the project at all." An engineer said.

Lu Ming looked at Xu Shenghe beside him and thought for a while. He slowly lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said, "I think, you can let them try." ”

"Mr. Lu, you have to think about this!" Someone immediately became anxious.

"If they don't get it right, delay the time, and delay the opportunity, then the project and the project are not entirely our responsibility. To put it mildly, if this underwater operation fails, it is a roof leak that happened to rain overnight. But if you go online a little, it is to miss the opportunity at a critical moment. Party B's ability is not enough, which delays the overall progress. Huh?"

Lu Ming looked at everyone and said slowly.

At this moment, the eyes of this commander-in-chief flashed with deep political wisdom.
