Stavanger, Norway, a small city built between many islands! This is the intuitive feeling that Hong Tao saw from the plane, where the land and the water echo each other, and you can't tell where the island, which is the land, and where is the water.

Levin didn't give Hong Tao time to tell the difference, he actually came to the airport to pick up the plane in person, and then directly took Hong Tao to a building not far from the port, which is the headquarters of the Kvarner Group in Norway. Not far ahead is its drilling equipment maintenance shipyard, and a huge sea drilling platform is standing honestly on the shore, which should look taller than this building. Hong Tao has been wondering how it was pulled ashore and how it should be brought down in the future, it weighs tens of thousands of tons! Human beings are so great that they can not only build such a majestic building, but also manipulate it at will.

"Dr. Iger, our progress should be fast, you see, that platform has been fully reinforced to withstand the forces of rocket launch, and now it is being replaced with a larger underwater hull, one on the left and one on the right, each more than 130 meters long, a behemoth, longer than a nuclear-powered submarine. When it is finished, the original support legs can be increased from 8 to 10, and at the same time, it can be thickened. If the current pace continues, I guarantee that all the renovation work will be completed this autumn, and it will be sent to the Russians to install the necessary equipment. The person who came forward this time was still the big man named Amundsen, who was a little more able to speak than other taciturn Nordics, and since he met Hong Tao in the conference room, he accompanied Hong Tao to stand in front of the window, chattering about this masterpiece of their company.

You can see it. He's a more tech-oriented guy and should have been an engineer in the first place. He is well aware of the shipbuilding industry, and many details are in terms rather than vernacular. This is a perennial work habit. As for why he is so enthusiastic about Hong Tao, it is very simple, he is not willing to re-design and build another imaginary big ship, he is more supportive of Hong Tao's plan, maybe this plan will be more beneficial to their company. According to Hong Tao's memory, this sea drill platform should not cost a penny except for the freight. Because the platform was burned in a fire a few years ago, it became waste and has been thrown away on the Scottish coast. Now it's time for waste utilization, and the price of a second-hand sea diamond platform can be sold, so a fool doesn't insist on it.

"Mr. Amundsen, I would like to ask you a more professional question, if I want two ships of more than 10,000 tons to get very close to each other on the sea, such as a distance of 30 meters to 50 meters, when the sea conditions are not very good, can I rely on the technology available now to ensure safety?" Hong Tao understood his little Jiujiu. This kind of Nordic talent is the best expression of loyalty and darkness in the heart, but he is in the same camp as himself, at least for now. So Hong Tao had to listen to his nagging patiently, and by the way, with the help of his professional talent to solve the big trouble he caused by bragging.

"Hmm...... It's hard to ...... in theory If you just want to make this platform stable, there is still a way, but if you want the command ship to live steadily. There is a problem. The design of the hull and the sea drill platform are different, and the sea drill platform is originally intended to be stable on the sea. So it's not very difficult to change, but the ship is designed with seaworthiness. It is very difficult to make it stand as firmly as a sea drill platform. Amundsen understood what Hong Tao wanted to do, and he had thought about this method, but it didn't work, the command ship had already begun to be built, and if it was overturned and restarted, the loss would be too great.

"I want to ask, how did you get the sea drilling platform to achieve the stability required to launch a rocket, can you tell me about this?" Hong Tao kind of understood that the problem was there, it was Amundsen's problem. He knows too much about the shipbuilding industry, so he has a kind of inertial thinking, always thinking that this kind of ship should be like this, that kind of sea drilling platform should be like that, and he lacks an inspiration for empathy.

"We have a very special approach called the omnidirectional thruster and the dynamic stabilization system, which is very similar to the little thrusters you depicted on the picture. Through these thrusters, sensors, GPS systems and computer systems, we can keep the platform at a fixed latitude and longitude under the action of certain surges and ocean currents, and the swing amplitude up and down and left and right is enough to meet the needs of launching rockets. Amundsen probably introduced Hong Tao's stable system to the launch platform, and finally praised Hong Tao's idea from the bottom of his heart.

"If this system is also used on the command ship, can the same effect be achieved?" Hong Tao followed his words, further enlightening him.

"That's impossible, as I said earlier, the design concept of a sea rig is different from that of a normal boat. The effect of using this system on ordinary ships does not reach the stability required for rocket launches, at best...... Oh God, God, God, Amundsen, what have you done!" Amundsen was quite patient, and he was not at all annoyed by chatting with Hong Tao, a layman, and he did not hate Hong Tao asking a question over and over again. But when he talked about the relationship between this steady dìng system and ordinary ships for the second time, he was suddenly stunned, and then patted his own head with his huge palm, as if remembering something. However, he could no longer communicate with Hong Tao about this issue, because the door to the conference room opened, Levin came in with a large crowd of people, and the meeting officially began.

"Well, gentlemen, on the question of whether to use one ship or two, we have been arguing for two weeks in this place where there is only 2 hours of sunshine a day, but to no avail. But there must be a result to this question, and there must be a result as much as possible, so I had to call Dr. Aite from faraway China. Some of you know him, and some of you may not know him, so let me give you a brief introduction. He is the hidden shareholder of our Poseidon Company, and he is also the actual owner of Crystal Orchid Capital. The quick agreement between the four shareholders of our company on the issue of capital investment was due to his tireless efforts and generosity. "Levin's mental state is not very good, and it is no wonder that in this cold and damp city, no one is in a better state after arguing every day for half a month.

......There was sparse applause from below, not that these scientists were not polite, and they were not in good shape.

"But that's not the point, the point is that the overall design of this launch system was originally proposed by Dr. Aite, so I think listening to his opinion might help us get out of this torturous predicament. Alright, Dr. Ait, please begin!" Levin explained Hong Tao's origin in the briefest language, and then gave up the right to speak to Hong Tao.

"I can also see that everyone's feelings are not very good, so before I say it, I have a small request! I am not a professional, at best an amateur, what I said is all an idea, without any scientific calculations and professional knowledge to endorse, please don't ask questions from a too professional point of view, this will save time." Hong Tao felt that it was a bit impolite to sit in front of a large group of high-IQ old men and talk eloquently, so in line with the principle of respecting knowledge, he still stood up and made an opening statement for himself first, and at the same time set a tone.

"Okay, so I'll start talking about my first and most important question, which is how to evacuate the personnel on the launch platform. I have just briefly discussed this issue with Mr. Amundsen, and I have received some professional help, which makes me feel that my original idea is more feasible. Here are my sketches, a total of 10 copies, you will pass them on first, and then I will explain them in detail. Hong Tao took out a stack of white paper from Singh's bag and began to distribute it, Singh is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, can only wait outside, Yulia is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, she can only get a simplified version of the meeting minutes, basically just to see a conclusion, the process is not known.

"Dr. Ait, are you planning to let the two boats come within 50 meters, and then evacuate through a telescopic passage in Guò? If that's the case, I don't think there is any need for this meeting to go on, my grandson can draw better than you just for this picture!" Before Hong Tao could explain, an old man with white hair became angry and belittled Hong Tao's drawing to worthless.

"If your grandson could stand here and speak, I am afraid there would be no place for you! Again, I have consulted Mr. Amundsen on this subject, and he has given me a correct line of thought if I can increase it...... Mr. Amundsen! Mr. Amundsen! What are the propulsion and systems you are talking about, and how much does it cost?" Hong Tao hadn't finished asking Amundsen just now, so now he had to ask directly in front of everyone, and there was no shame in that.

"Oh, probably...... About 20 million US dollars, I have already asked people to calculate this possibility, I personally think this is a brilliant idea! It's so interesting, I didn't think of it before!" Amundsen had been lying on the table flipping through several thick books, Hong Tao shouted twice, and he woke up like a dream, and immediately became an excited child again.

"Well, if we can increase the budget by 20 million dollars, this problem can basically be solved, and the solution is this picture I have drawn! The specific details will be explained to you in detail by Mr. Amundsen. Hong Tao looked at Amundsen's virtue, just let him be a substitute for the dead, anyway, he is professional, and he must know better than himself. (To be continued......)
