Chapter 1021 - A Monster Designed by Yourself (1320 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"The budget of $20 million allows the two ships to be safely, safely, and safely close enough to get close, or even closer! Do you have any questions about me, or do you have questions about Mr. Amundsen's expertise?" When Amundsen briefly described the idea of a dynamic stabilization system for commanding ships, Hong Tao took over the right to speak again and began to fight back. He didn't give the white-bearded old man a good face, and there was no need for it, he was young and had low professional knowledge, there was no doubt about it. But if you tie up all the people in this room, you are not afraid.
"Well, even if these two ships can get close to each other safely, they can't use this kind of passage, approaching and steadyness are two different things, how can you ensure that this passage won't fall apart due to the swing of the front, back, left, right, and up? If you can't solve this problem, I don't dare to step on it!" The white-bearded old man made Hong Tao pout, and his temper became smaller, but he still didn't quite believe that Hong Tao's seemingly simple and simple method could completely solve this problem that had plagued their room experts for more than ten days.
"Saul...... Still listening to Aite's words, I suddenly felt that this idea was not so bad. It seems that we have fallen into a misunderstanding and thought about the problem too complicated. Please continue, Dr. Ait, Thor is a weird old man, and he has no ill will. At this time, a big fat man sitting opposite the white-bearded old man suddenly spoke, and he held Hong Tao's hand-drawn pencil drawings as if he could see something.
"My plan is very simple, the problem of the stability of the ship is left to Mr. Amundsen, and if the normal swing can be controlled within the range of 3 meters, there is no safety problem. You see, this telescopic channel is installed on the launch platform. Its fixed end is not welded, but can be turned left and right, up and down. The other end is not on the command ship. Rather, with a special hitch on one of the platforms of the command ship, the same. This leg can also move freely from side to side, up and down, so I think it can solve the displacement problem of the two ships. The following is the problem of the unstable distance between the two ships, this problem is actually simpler, the telescopic channel, since it is telescopic, then why not make it a telescopic with more margin? For example, two or three sections, each section has a telescopic margin of 1 meter to 2 meters, so that even if the two ships have both displacement and distance movement, they can still make the passage unimpeded. If it's not safe. Then add a boom to it, and by the way, make the fixed foot at one end of the command ship a structure that can be detached at any time. Once the pulling force is too large, the foot is directly separated from the command ship, and with the strength of the boom, at least it can ensure that the telescopic channel will not be pulled off, and the personnel inside are still safe. In fact, I just listened to Mr. Amundsen's words and felt that my design was superfluous. If the two ships are so unstable that they both become swings, then what kind of rockets are they launching? What do you say, Monsieur Amundsen?" Hong Tao had never actually designed such a thing at all, he had deduced it from what he remembered. Later, the National Geographic Channel once filmed an episode of this Sea Launch platform, and the evacuation method in it was to use a telescopic channel. It's a very simple thing, I don't know why these highly intelligent people are stumped by this question.
"Wait a minute, and I'll give you a precise answer!" Amundsen was talking to the intercom in the corner of the room. Hearing Hong Tao's call, he didn't look back. Just held out a finger and continued to mumble something in Norwegian and on the other end of the phone.
"Gentlemen...... We can all jump out of this window. At least I should have jumped out! We only considered the stability of the launch platform before, but we ignored one point, that is, the command ship can also be equipped with a full set of dynamic stability systems, and if one set is not enough, a second set can be added! This system can ensure that the displacement of the launch platform does not exceed 34 centimeters in the case of a level 5 wind and wave. Even if the maximum value is taken, if both ships are equipped with this system, its relative displacement will not exceed two meters, which is not much different from taking a suspension bridge. And we can also make this telescopic tunnel closed, even if we push a wheelchair, it can be unimpeded! Dr. Aite is not wrong at all, if the displacement is too large, it is not a question of whether to evacuate or not, but whether the platform can launch rockets! We have reversed the problem. God, half a month's work!" Amundsen quickly put down the phone, and then, like a madman, stood there with the number of jù in his hand, and stood there in pain, not forgetting the delay in the construction because of this. If this Kvarna Group is not his father's, he should be the most loyal employee in the group, and Jinnyima is the company's home.
"Buzzing ......" With Amundsen's explanation, the room immediately became the United Nations, Norwegian, English from the east and west of the United States, and all kinds of Russian came out, and more than twenty big men exchanged ears and began to understand the solution of Hong Tao and Amundsen just now in their own way.
"I think you'd better stay here...... If you don't go back to your country to play with your damn rat suit, we can all go to Ukraine now and enjoy caviar and beautiful women, why bother here all day because of all kinds of jù quarrels! Don't you waste your time playing, do you want to go on a real attack submarine? Do you want to shoot a target ship with real naval guns? Do you want to take a gunship and launch rockets? I can let you play all of this! And do you want to board a real aircraft carrier? Do you want to fly a real fighter jet? If you can stay with the team for more than 10 days, I guarantee you'll play it all. Of course, you'll have to pay for the costs yourself, but I'm very, very, very sure to tell you that these fees are very, very, very cheap!" Levin grabbed Hong Tao's wrist, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and then tried to make the smile on his face more sincere, and began to tempt Hong Tao in his own way.
"Mr. Levin, the way you seduce me is very similar to the way I seduce women, they all say that I am the devil, so what do you think I should call you?" Hong Tao was convinced, these things Levin said, each of these things was deeply attracted to him, and now he finally felt the feeling they had when he first seduced the women around him, how to describe it? It was probably the urge to bite the other party to death, and was forced to agree to something he was unwilling to do.
"No, no, no...... I'm different, I'm trying to secure your investment, and you should be glad to have a manager like me! Okay, gentlemen! Now that this problem is solved, I think you must have other questions. Dr. Aite himself is too busy with his work to be with us all the time, so from now on, you can ask him a question. In addition, we would like to inform everyone to get ready, next week we will go to Ukraine to prepare for the assembly of the rocket and the installation of control equipment. According to the previous plan, the Odyssey and the Commander will enter the Nikolaev Black Sea Shipyard by mid-May at the latest, and now it has been delayed for two weeks, and we are very short on time!" Levin began to touch his goatee again, and then announced a decision that made Hong Tao grit his teeth, he was going to treat himself as a donkey, and he couldn't do it yet, because there was a carrot hanging in front of him, and he was stretching his neck to make it hard.
For the remaining two days, Hong Tao felt as if he hadn't seen Radha and Singh much, and when he went to bed at night, he had already fallen asleep before the two of them had finished taking a shower. It's just too tired, not physically, but brain. Compared to a large group of real doctors, my fake doctors are simply too low-end in terms of mental work, and two or three questions can make you dizzy for a day, and they are all alive and kicking on to discuss other issues.
However, the past two days were not without harvest, Hong Tao liked to follow Amundsen to the slipway the most, while watching the workers weld the special steel plates more than a finger thick like patches on the sea diamond platform, while listening to Amundsen tell him some details about the Odessa and the Commander, so that he could have a general understanding of the two ships and the entire shipbuilding industry, and by the way, Hong Tao's strong curiosity was satisfied.
This is also the first time that Hong Tao has figured out what the two big guys that were built and modified according to his ideas as the chief designer are. The Odyssey, the semi-submersible sea drill platform, will be lengthened by about 15 meters after the overall modification and reinforcement, so that the original 8 column supports will be replaced by 10 column supports. From the outside, it looked like a multi-legged, thick-legged monster lying squarely on the slipway.
According to Amundsen's design, the final platform will be more than 60 meters wide, more than 50,000 tons, more than 50 meters high, and ten thick support legs are divided into two rows, standing on a large pontoon in the shape of a submarine, like a stilt house built on a giant sled, a bit top-heavy. But in fact, this is not the case, the ten stout supporting feet have a diameter of 5 meters at the thinnest and a diameter of more than 8 meters at the thickest, and they are divided into many cabins like the pontoons below, and all of them are connected by computer-controlled valves.
When it is necessary to drive on the sea surface, the seawater in these support legs and pontoons will be pressed out by high-pressure air, and then rely on the buoyancy of the pontoons and support legs to make the entire platform mostly float on the sea surface. This makes it possible to sail with the 4 main thrusters on the pontoons, and the fastest speed is only 10 knots, but for a monster of more than 50,000 tons, this speed is not slow at all. If the sea conditions allow, you can hire a tugboat to tow it forward, and it can be even faster. (To be continued......)
