Chapter 108 Ship Finalization

(Thank you for jerking off all over the world, Shepherd 818, I came by moonlight, love to fight to win the reward of zy, thank you for your support.) )

Coming to the Huangpu Shipyard again, Zhou You did not hide behind Lin Wei this time, and let her deal with the leaders of the shipyard. In the business sector, Zhou You thinks that he is far worse than Lin Wei, and he has no patience to deal with people in all aspects.

He spent most of his energy discussing the ship with the people in the design department.

This ship will be the main salvage ship after the trip, and any design will involve the convenience and practicality of future use, and it will not be in line with the existing ship type, so it will take most of the designer's energy.

However, they don't feel troublesome at all, because the function of the tour design is the development direction of the comprehensive salvage ship in the next ten years, not to mention in the country, even in the world, there is no salvage ship as advanced as this ship.

For a country, the performance of salvage vessels will generally highlight professionalism rather than comprehensiveness, such as semi-submersible crane vessels, tugboats, salvage vessels, etc., generally each type of ship will have a special advantage.

And the salvage ship designed by Zhou You can be said to be not outstanding in all aspects. For example, the front lift is only 180 tons, and the rear lift is only 30 tons.

Such a lifting capacity is not to mention ordinary sea vessels, even for some small boats. However, although such a design is not useful for the salvage of the hull, it is enough for the salvage of the cargo.

Moreover, Zhou You has piled up a variety of functions on this ship, not only has a variety of mature salvage equipment today, but also specially designed an advanced decompression chamber to serve the future frogman launching.

Such a comprehensive salvage ship is not only much more advanced than the American Guard-class in terms of design, but also more convenient in application.

Therefore, if Huangpu Shipyard has the experience of shipbuilding for Zhouyou, and then produces this kind of salvage ship in the future, there will be no technical problems.

The key question now is how the designers can stack all the requirements of the trip on this ship and make the functions work as they should.

There are many technologies that are mature and can be applied directly, but there are also many technologies that are imaginary, which requires designers to realize.

In this way, after a month of design by the designers, and after several days of traveling and discussing with them, the salvage ship finally took shape in the designers' computers.

The shape of the whole ship is a bit like the future destroyer Kunming, but it is smaller, the length of the Kunming ship is 157 meters, but the circumambulatory ship is 99 meters, and the length of the ship is reduced by a small half.

The Kunming could accommodate nearly three hundred people, but the traveling ship was designed with a cabin for thirty-six people, with two ordinary crew members in one room, and he himself certainly occupied one of the best and largest cabins by himself.

In his captain's room, not only did he design a fully enclosed cabin with AH36 high-strength steel plates up to 80mm thick as a safe, but it would take a long time to close it from the inside, even if it was cut by oxygen welding.

In addition, there is also an escape passage and an escape pod designed inside, the escape pod is not large, close to the waterline, and can accommodate a jet ski for traveling around.

Due to the large size of the ship, the length is 99 meters, the width is also 19 meters, the draft is six meters, and the displacement reaches more than 5,000 tons. Due to the high level of automation, the need for navigation can be completed by only 16 people.

With so many locations, there was plenty of room for the designers to design the freshwater tanks, fuel tanks, and cargo holds, which were larger than ordinary salvage ships and could sail farther distances.

At the stern of the ship, Zhou You also designed a helicopter landing point and installed an aircraft fixing system, but Zhou You has not yet determined what kind of helicopter to buy in the future.

To put it mildly, the domestic carrier-based helicopter is a relatively embarrassing project, since the founding of the People's Republic of China several decades, the country has introduced several models, but until now, there is still no domestic model to be applied on a large scale, a little better Zhijiu, in the international community, is also a backward model.

As a last resort, most of the Navy's carrier-based helicopters still use the Russian Ka-28.

Moreover, in terms of civilian models, there is very little room for domestic carrier-based helicopters to choose from, and at present, only the French Dolphin model is a localized Zhijiu to choose from.

Zhouyou's company was registered in Singapore, and the ship was also Singaporean, so although he asked the designer to design a helicopter parking position, he did not want to buy a carrier-based helicopter in China.

When you have money in the future, you can go directly to France or Ukraine to buy an original model. What's more, if an agreement can be reached with Singapore, it may be possible to directly use their name to purchase military aircraft.

The thought of being able to follow the military model with missiles and torpedoes on the ship made Zhou You feel all over the body. However, to achieve this goal, I am afraid it is not so simple.

Even in the future, it will not be easy to get permission from Singapore!

However, this matter is also easy to solve, and it is a big deal to find a small island in Indonesia as a warehouse in the future, and when you need it, you can go to the island and get weapons.

If you want to find a life at sea, you can't do it without weapons, and you must know that piracy in Southeast Asia is the most rampant in the world.

The design of the aft helicopter landing pad, coupled with the low center of gravity requirements of the salvage vessel, also made it impossible for the stern side of the ship to be designed too high, which was very detrimental to preventing pirate broadside warfare.

Therefore, Zhou You simply designed the tail section very simplely, and designed a closed inward opening fortress in the middle, which can go straight to the belly of the ship.

In this case, even if there are pirates on board, it will be difficult for them to cross the center line, because only two people are needed to cross fire, and no one will cross the center line.

The entire design concept was communicated with the designers, and the structure of the entire ship was finalized, and it was already mid-April.

The whole ship, excluding some purchased equipment, just the basic equipment on board, the price of the whole ship reached 12 million, of course, a dollar will be added later.

The current exchange rate is still above 1:8, and the black market price is even higher, that is, the price of the ship that traveled around has exceeded 100 million yuan.

However, although this price is more than the budget of the tour, he is quite satisfied, because if the ship is really built according to the design, it will definitely be the most practical salvage ship in the world today.

And not only that, but this ship will also be the fastest salvage ship. Two gas turbines plus two diesel engines with more than 10,000 horsepower can make this ship reach a speed of more than 32 knots, which is the real speed of a warship, and in civilian ships, there are almost no big ships that run faster than this ship.

And since it can be used in turns, or in common, the speed can be increased, and if sailing at an economic speed of twenty-two knots, the ship can reach a range of 10,000 nautical miles, that is, no matter where in the world you want to go, you hardly need to refuel halfway.

Radar and sonar systems also want to use military ones, but unfortunately this point is certainly not agreed, and the most advanced civilian radar systems and sonar systems can only be selected.

The most satisfying thing for Zhou You was that at his request, the shipyard finally agreed to install four powerful water cannons on his ship. The two secondary guns in the bow of the ship have a range of 150 meters, and the main guns near the tail can reach a range of 200 meters.

It is precisely because of this variety of advanced equipment, coupled with the hull of a warship, that a salvage ship that can be done for about 40 million yuan has risen to 100 million yuan.

Zhou You is satisfied, and the shipyard and other departments are even more satisfied, because Zhou You is also equivalent to being a test subject, allowing them to test this new ship type, and if it is practical, they may also equip such ships in the future.

But of course Zhou You didn't care, he didn't think of rebelling, the motherland was stronger, and his waist abroad could be straighter.

According to the contract, Zhou You needs to pay 30% of the cost of the $12 million, or $3.6 million.

Therefore, as soon as the contract was signed, Zhou You recovered the promissory note issued by the individual, and transferred $3.6 million directly to the Huangpu Shipyard through the Guò company account.

According to the construction schedule given by the Huangpu shipyard, it will take eighteen months for the ship to be launched. However, this speed is already considered fast, if you are abroad, it is impossible to enter the water without two years.

What's more, at the domestic speed, as long as there is no problem with the technology, the general construction period is only advanced, and rarely postponed.

At this time, Zhou You finally completed the biggest problem in the early stage of his plan.

Now, all he needs to think about is to make money quickly.

No matter how good the efficiency of the pharmaceutical factory is, it is impossible to make 500 million this year. If you can't earn 500 million, it is impossible for Zhou You to share more than 70 million funds, which is not enough to pay the mantissa of the ship's payment, so Zhou You must raise this fund from other channels.

According to Zhou You's estimates, if the pharmaceutical factory goes along this year, it should be possible to make a profit of 100 million, and it is not a big problem to settle 10 million or 20 million by yourself, and it will be very difficult to do more.

So, his deficit is almost around 50 million.

But that's just the boat. According to his budget, he still needs to buy two deep-sea machines, and the cheapest machine also needs two million dollars, and those who can really dive more than 5,000 meters will not be able to get their hands on it without five million dollars.

So, no matter how you calculate it, you still need that Spanish treasure in exchange for funds.

It's already mid-April, and Ibiza's tourist season is not long in coming. Happily, since he now holds a Singapore passport, he no longer needs to go to the embassy or consulate to apply for a tourist visa, and now he can go to Spain without visa procedures.
