readx;?“ I said this is a bad idea, what if they meet their own fleet at sea and suddenly the whole ship riots? Bu Zhongfu didn't mind splashing Yang Junbo's head with cold water. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Besides, none of us know how to operate this kind of large sail warship, if you go to sea, people secretly hide your ruler or something, and then lose your compass, even if you drive directly to their Medeno people's territory, you don't know, this ship must have power, at least there must be something they don't understand, otherwise we will easily become meat on people's chopping boards." ”

"What then? We don't have ships that can go to sea, and we don't have sailors, not to mention that the renovation of ships is just a plan on paper, so why just let those oil shales lie there and wait, and wait for us to get a steamship in three or four years? ”

Yang Junbo said and suddenly stood up, "By the way, hasn't that person seen this kind of stone?" also said that the island is full of mountains, which means that they must have been there, why don't you just let them go to it? Let's trade them with industrial products. Price highs. ”

"That's a good idea, I'm going to discuss it with the Executive Committee and the Energy Group." Du Yande nodded, "Then I'll go first," walked out two steps, and suddenly turned back to Yang Junbo and said: "Write the application for the dry dock again, last time it was estimated that it was sent back to the paper mill to make paper again, I will try to let the executive committee approve it as soon as possible this time, and we can put this kind of big ship to use as soon as possible." As he spoke, he ran away.

Yang Junbo sat back in his chair again, "I'll go, and I'm going to write a report again, it's too troublesome, right?" As he spoke, he leaned over and patted Bu Zhongfu's thigh, "Brother Bu, why don't you write it?" You've certainly written a lot before. ”

That night, in the conference room of the Executive Committee Building, several members of the Energy Group and the Executive Committee sat around the conference table for discussion.

"Isn't that okay?" Yang Minghuan rubbed his sour eyes, "We are indeed in urgent need of oil shale now, but can the natives distinguish the type of oil shale?" Can you figure out what's worth mining and what's not? At the end of the day, what are we going to do if we bring in a shipload of oil shale that is not suitable for oil shale or even ordinary stones that are not even oil shale? ”

"They're not going to be shoddy, right?" Yuan Fang couldn't help but twist his back, which had not moved for a long time and looked a little sour, and said, "I think the people in this time and space are quite good, and it doesn't seem that there is any feeling of shoddy things." ”

"That's what you think." Yang Minghuan said, "In the past, when the factory purchased a large amount of coal from the coal mines, which of those coal mines did not mix a large amount of gangue into it? There are one or two hundred catties of big gangue. If you want to say that the people of this time and space are honest, how much does it cost to buy cool oil? People can sell it as a luxury item when they come to Champa Port! It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, you must not think that these people look honest and honest Gu Qingqian complained to me all afternoon. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Gu Qingqian was a celebrity in the crowd, and she was known for her good temper in business negotiations, and she even complained to Yang Minghuan in order to negotiate business with Xu Wei, it seems that the Zheng family has to be so aggressive.

"In this case, I'm afraid there is only one way to choose, which is to go to Nanban Island through their ships, find ore and analyze reserves, and then mine there." Liu Yeqiang said, "In this case, there will be no problems with mining, but I am afraid that they will use some special means, such as turning one boat into two boats on the way, and transporting one more boat of rocks or something." ”

"It's not too much of a problem, we can pack it in container-type boxes, and with what we have, it's no problem to make containers." Zhang Yuan said on the side, "The use of containers to load and unload such bulk cargo is not only convenient for loading and unloading, but also convenient for transportation." Now that we've laid the track on the dock, we can quickly transport these containers to the loading dock using flatbed trucks and cranes. ”

"But you still have to think about one more problem, the size of the container!" Du Yande interjected on the side, "How big are we using containers?" 20 or 40's? ”

"Forget about 40, 40 containers have a length of 12 meters, a width of 2.5 meters, and a height of 2.5 meters, such a length has high requirements for the steel beams of the manufacturing containers, and we now have no welding rods, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on riveting, it is best to do 20gp first, compared to 6 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and high, it should be much easier to manufacture." Liu Yeqiang said and opened the notebook again. "But there's another problem. We have almost seen the cargo ships of this time and space, except for the large ocean-going cargo ships of the Medeno people, which can reach about sixty or seventy meters in length and twenty meters in width, the cargo ships of other forces coming to our Oriental Port are quite small, if they use 40GP containers, they can't be put down at all, and as far as the masts on the ship are concerned, there is no way to use a crane to lift the container to a suitable position. ”

Everyone was stunned, it is true, the ships of this time and space have at least two or three masts, if you use containers, there is no way to use a crane to lift containers onto the deck or in the cargo hold, if you want to promote containers, I am afraid there is only one way - use the Dongfeng.

But the Dongfeng is diesel engine-powered, the oil tank in the oil warehouse has long been bottomed out, and since the beginning of the past two months, all the motor vehicles running on the road are burning charcoal, coal and wood, ox carts, rickshaws and Rolls-Royces gradually increasing. In the words of the traversal, it is "back to basics". All fuel is given priority to the use of naval motor ships, and due to the shortage of fuel, the number of cruises to sea, whether destroyers or cruisers, is decreasing at this stage. If it is an offshore cruise, they all start to use the Chunxiao and several large and medium-sized ships purchased from the local natives, which can save fuel on the one hand and train skilled sailors for the large use of sail warships in the future.

"If that's the case, I have an idea, I don't know if it's going to work." A weak voice came out on the side, and the conference room was silent, and for a while everyone's eyes turned to the direction from which the voice came.

It was Xiao Jing who spoke, and immediately someone spoke, "I'll go, you're a member of the executive committee!" If you have an idea, just say it, and make the Senate look like a word hall. ”

Xiao Jing smiled embarrassedly, "This was originally a matter for the Navy or the Department of Commerce, but since everyone is stuck, I would like to make a small suggestion, I hope you can refer to it." ”

Seeing that there was no objection, he continued: "In fact, I think that it is better for us to build our own transport ships than to charter or rely on other people's means of shipping on such a large scale. ”

"Isn't it?" Zhang Yuan immediately spoke. "It's okay to build our ships, but now production isn't going anywhere, there's no dry dock, there's no oil, there's not enough wood. In addition, we have received information from merchants who come here that it basically takes nine months to more than a year to build a medium-sized ship locally, and it may take us at least six months to build the same ship. ”

"What you said is true, but you have to think about it, the local shipbuilding is built according to the ship book, and their 100 ships have a hundred different structures, there is no standardized industrial production, and the production is cumbersome and the pace is slow." Xiao Jing said and pointed at Yuan Zhenli, "I don't believe you asked Yuan Zhenli, our Jian-8 fighter was like this before, not only the production speed was very low, but also the parts on it could not be universal, whether it was large-scale production or usual maintenance, it was very cumbersome." ”

"Don't mention that suffocating thing." Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but pout, "We're talking about the ship." ”

"Yes, ships and airplanes are actually the same." Xiao Jing nodded and continued: "The production of ships is relatively simple, the technical difficulty is also lower, and we can also deepen the concept of standardization and modularization into the concepts of naturalized people and local natives in the process of our own shipbuilding." ”

"What does our own shipbuilding have to do with standardization?" Yuan Zhenli immediately felt that he couldn't keep up with this kind of leaping thinking, and hurriedly asked.

"Quite simply, we use the freewheel production method to produce our cargo ships." Xiao Jing raised his index finger and clicked a few times in the air, attracting everyone's attention.

"Freewheel?" A puzzled question was asked.

"yes, that's a good idea!" Zhang Yuan was the first to jump up, "Free wheel is indeed a good way to solve our current lack of capacity." ”

"What is a free wheel?" Immediately, someone asked the question that everyone was wondering about.

"The Liberty Ship was a large-scale and rapid cargo ship that could be built quickly in World War II when the United States leased a large number of merchant ships according to wartime needs or provided them to Britain to replenish war damage and support the merchant fleet." Xiao Jing immediately began to introduce it. "In order to speed up the construction, the freewheels were built in the early days of the shipyard with rivets instead of welding, which is very suitable for our current situation, with oil-fired boilers installed and steam power, and we can find ways to do this."

"Why is the Liberty Wheel built so fast? By rivets? ”

"No, in fact, in order to reduce labor in the later stage, the freewheel adopts welding instead of riveting, but we have no way to consider using welding at this stage."

"So you mean we're going to build freewheels of steel at least with steel hulls?" Someone clearly knows a little about the free wheel. "Will our steel mills be able to provide enough steel parts?"

"Definitely not," Li Jin answered the former's question categorically. "Our production is not on track yet, and our current annual production is estimated to be no more than 50 tonnes, which is not enough to provide such a large number of steel parts."

"It's okay," Xiao Jing said immediately, "The ships in this time and space are all made of wood, there is no problem with this, although the strength of wood is not as good as steel, but you can see that the huge transport ships of the Maidno people and the warships outside are all wooden structures. ”

Liu Yeqiang immediately said on the side: "That's right, I saw it on the Veropolis cargo ship in Medeno before the crossing, and it was indeed an all-wood structure, and they were only reinforced with iron nails or iron hoops at the place of connection. ”

"Even if wood can keep up, how can production keep up? How long will it take to get one? ”

"It's hard to say," Xiao Jing looked a little embarrassed, "The freewheel is made by ordering a large number of standardized steel parts from a large number of hardware factories and steel factories in the United States, and then being shipped to the shipyard for assembly. We don't have many lumber mills here, so we probably have to produce it through our own lumber mill. Another question is, how big should the ship be? ”

"I think 800 tons of displacement is basically about the same, right?" Someone said.

"The freewheel has a displacement of 7,000 tons, can carry 5,500 tons of supplies, is 135 meters long and 17.3 meters wide, and has a draft of 8.5 meters." Someone has already quickly turned to the information of the Liberty Wheel, "Isn't our dry dock going to build a 5,000-ton dry dock?" Anyway, it hasn't started yet, so it's better to repair the 10,000-ton level directly. ”

"Pull you down! Do you know how big a 10,000-ton dry dock is? It is at least 130 meters long, 38 meters wide, and at least 5 meters deep. ”

"That is, even if we build a 7,000-ton free wheel now, we don't have enough power to drive it, it's better to build a smaller one, just use an 800-horsepower steam engine to push it, anyway, our Puma No. 1 train is the 800-horsepower steam engine, anyway, we still have no problem building this star-shaped steam engine now, right?"

"There is a problem, lubricating oil is an important problem, and the other thing is that cooling water and boiler water must use fresh water, and it is not easy to get fresh water at sea." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't we have a RO desalination system? Isn't it enough to pretend to be one? ”

"We only brought a total of six RO systems, and there are only more than 100 RO membranes, which is simply not enough."

"Let's not talk about power, anyway, it takes time to build a ship, and there will definitely be a way to solve it when the time comes," Du Yande waved his hand, "The free wheel must be built, and the sooner it is built, the better." If you are building a smaller version of a freewheel, how long does it take to build a single ship? ”

"The earliest construction period was about 230 days, and the longest took only 244 days. And in the later stage, it only takes 42 days from laying the keel to launching the water. Someone compared the information searched out on the mobile phone and said, "The fastest record cow, from laying the keel to launching 4 days, 15 hours and 30 minutes, but the outfitting is completed after the launch." ”

"Our freewheels are miniaturized, and they are produced in an assembly line manner, using prefabricated parts to be transported to the dock for assembly, and theoretically in addition to the time it takes at the beginning, the rest of the time should be shorter and shorter as the production experience becomes more and more abundant." Xiao Jing pointed at the table with his index finger and said.

Yang Minghuan nodded and said: "Then the design department will chase this matter, go to the big library to find out if there is any relevant information on the free wheel, and then draw the structural drawing, and then decompose the drawing, let's create our own miracle." ”
