Chapter 29 The Shipyard (Part II)

Updated: 202-02-06

Qian Shuiting came to the shipyard to attend the signing ceremony as the president of Longteng Company. Longteng is an offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands, an island nation in the Caribbean.

At the International Ship Trade Fair held in Guangzhou in June, Longteng signed an intention with a shipyard under Huafu Group to purchase two simulated armored cruisers. Now Lao Qian happened to come to the shipyard as a funder to have a formal signing ceremony with Huafu Group.

This is done mainly for safety. Building a simulated warship, even if it is not armed, is easy to attract the attention of public security, national security and other departments.

There is no problem in letting foreign companies with old money customize unarmed simulated warships through formal channels, in the name of film and television props and military tourism.

After the signing ceremony, it was a banquet, a play, and so on to send away the local heads, which was already the 2nd of the month.

Back at the shipyard, Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting and the high-level people of the shipyard all gathered in the conference room, and as soon as Bai Baoxiang sat down, he said to Lin Youde and others: "I was busy for the past two days, so I didn't tell you a thing. Our plan to get the power system and HY0 steel production secrets from the Jews has been cancelled, and your industrial council is going to revise the plan. ”

"Why cancel?" Lin Youde was anxious, "The LM-2500 gas turbine and HY0 steel are very important to us. ”

"To be safe!" Bai Baoxiang said lightly, "The space-time box is our core secret, and if outsiders know about it, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Lin Youde and the others wanted to say something more, but Bai Baoxiang said that the matter would be discussed later. He told Lin Youde and others that Qian Shuiting would be the person in charge of Taiwan's government affairs in the future, and asked them to introduce the shipyard's shipbuilding plan.

Lan Hai first briefly explained the design of the Qin-class (Type 695A) armored cruiser to Bai Baoxiang and Qian Shuiting.

Lin Youde explained on the side: "According to the republican year, 54 years is the 2695th year of the republic. The shipbuilding group plans to design another 5,000-ton battleship, that is, the Han-class (Type 695B) battleship. ”

Bai Baoxiang smiled and said to Qian Shuiting: "Shipbuilding is playing with comprehensive industrial strength, although we plan to do a good job, but if we can't build it ourselves, it can only be said to be empty talk." ”

Qian Shuiting nodded and asked, "Armament system, how did you arrange it?" ”

Lin Youde said: "Miss 75 is used as the main gun, and this kind of cannon is absolutely enough to deal with European and American ships at that time." According to the plans of the industrial sector, after arriving in Taiwan, we will make 75 howitzers, and there will be no problem with shells. The M2 machine gun is used for the secondary gun, and the bullets can be reloaded. ”

"Let's go! Let's go to the front line of production first. Bai Baoxiang stood up, "Everyone should be very careful when they talk later, although this shipyard is ours, the site is TG's." ”

Walking into a large room on the second floor of the office building, I saw that there were many small cubicles separated by a meter-high fiberboard, each cubicle had a desk, and there was a computer on the desk, and people were nervously typing on the keyboard in front of the computer.

"This is the design department, and Mr. Lan is in charge." Li Yang introduced while guiding, "This is Yu Tianyuan, Fei Zeke, and Lin Bai, and they are now staking out the hull on the computer. ”

Yu Tianyuan, 25 years old this year, from Zhuzhou, Hunan, majored in fine arts, and worked as a clerk, designer, draftsman, constructor, data clerk, project budget estimator and so on in Guangzhou.

Lin Bai, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, nicknamed "Baron", is 29 years old. Design, trial, production and installation of non-standard equipment, familiar with food and feed machinery and wet copper smelting. Excellent mechanical drawing, first-class freehand drawing.

Fei Zeke, 2 years old, from Northeast China. Graduated from the Department of Physics, majoring in plasma. Specialty painting, mechanical drawing first-class.

Lan Hai said: "Hull lofting is the basic process of hull construction. What our design department provided was a hull outline diagram represented by a three-way projection line, which was what needed to be staked out. Hull lofting is to draw the design outline drawing on the floor of the lofting room according to the ratio of :, or through the electronic computer for mathematical lofting. We use mathematical lofting to unfold the individual parts of the hull structure and its outfitting on a computer to provide control information for subsequent processes such as cutting and forming. ”

In the open space in front of the hull processing workshop, piles of steel were stacked. When Li Yang led the team to walk by, he said, "This is our steel yard, and these steels just arrived two days ago, and they are low-alloy and high-strength marine steel specially purchased from Nippon Steel." ”

"Domestic steel is not powerful. Now the best steel in our country only has a yield strength of 690, but the hy0 of the old United States in the 50s has a yield strength of 900. Lan Hai explained to Qian Shuiting: "The materials used in the hull structure are mainly carbon steel and low-alloy high-strength steel, and the use of high-strength steel can reduce the weight of the hull, reduce the propulsion power, and achieve the purpose of increasing equipment or increasing speed." These Nippon Steel marine steels belong to the HY0 series of steels, and they bought a U.S. patent. ”

Lin Youde then added: "The high-strength low-alloy steels developed by the United States, such as HY0 steel, HY00 steel, HY0 steel, and HS00 steel, are used in the manufacture of ships, with a maximum strength of 900MPa. These are all regarded as strategic materials by the U.S. government and are not allowed to be exported without authorization. The yield strength of NS0 steel developed in Japan in the 90s has reached the 00MPa level, and the maximum strength of the АБ series steel developed in Russia has even reached the 75MPa level. ”

Qian Shuiting squatted down, touched the stacks of steel, and asked Lin Youde: "Are the two ships planned to be built all using this Nippon Steel steel?" ”

Lin Youde replied: "The hull shell and key parts are all made of small Japanese steel, and we still use domestic ordinary steel for non-critical parts." ”

Then Li Yang brought Bai Baoxiang and Qian Shuiting into the hull processing workshop, and Shen Yue, the person in charge of the workshop, greeted them at the door, "Our workshop is mainly responsible for the pretreatment of hull steel, the processing of hull materials and hull parts. ”

Shen Yue, 25 years old, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is a structural engineer with strong memory and good ability to regulate and organize.

The first workshop is a steel pretreatment workshop, in which several workers are operating a multi-roller steel plate leveler and a section steel straightener to correct the plates and profiles taken out of the steel stockpile.

While leading them to visit, Shen Yue said loudly: "Marine steel has various deformations due to the influence of production, storage, transportation and other reasons. This requires correction, polishing, and finally primer spraying and drying. ”

The second workshop is a hull parts processing workshop, and the workers are operating a CNC high-precision cutting machine to process and cut steel.

The noise of the cutting machine cutting steel in the workshop was very loud, and Qian Shuiting opened his mouth, but he still held back and didn't say anything.

In the hull equipment welding workshop, a group of people are carrying out welding operations under the leadership of two masters, and the arc light of electric welding is shining everywhere in the workshop. Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting and others stood at the door from a distance, and they did not go in to disturb the workers' work.

Li Yang said: "The two masters are all senior welding technicians, one is our Lin Mengchu's father Lin Dashan, he is a senior welding technician of Huangpu Shipyard; There is also a senior welding technician Zhao Yinneng recruited from Shanghai Technical School. With the words and deeds of these two masters, coupled with welder training materials and videos, as long as it takes two or three years, our team of welding talents will be very strong. You followed Shen Yuan, Lin Mengchu, Zhang Liping, Mo Yiqing and other twelve people who studied behind, they were all recruited by Mr. Bai, and the others were the original welder masters of the factory. ”

Shen Yuan is 2 years old, Nantong, Jiangsu, mechanical engineer. He is proficient in mechanical design; Familiar with the installation, operation, commissioning and maintenance of gas turbine generator sets. Strong hands-on ability, for machining (turning, milling, grinding, etc.), welding (non-special) is also quite proficient.

Lin Mengchu was born in a family of old Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard, 2 years old, retired first-class non-commissioned officer, and transferred to Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard as a welding technician after retiring.

Zhang Liping is a native of Sichuan, Chinese New Year's Eve, and an oil construction worker. He has a long experience in the field, is proficient in welding technology, and can drive cranes and bulldozers.

Mo Yiqing is 2 years old this year, a native of Guangzhou, and a welder in a shipyard.

…………

Hearing Li Yang's introduction, Qian Shuiting was a little puzzled, "Shen Yuan, he is a mechanical engineer engaged in power, if there is a shortage of welding people, should he go to the society to recruit a large number of people?" ”

Li Yang hurriedly explained: "Shen Yuan is in charge of the work of the hull equipment welding workshop and the installation workshop, responsible for the hull assembly, welding work and dock installation. ”

Lin Youde said: "Shen Yuan's welding technology is already very good, but low-alloy high-strength steel is difficult to weld, and the method of thermal insulation welding should be used to weld Hy0 steel." They train very hard, and we train them at any cost. ”

Qian Shuiting asked: "What is the current level of our comrades' electric welding technology?" ”

Lin Youde said: "Shen Yuan, Lin Mengchu, and Zhang Liping are already senior welders, Mo Yiqing is an intermediate welder, and the others are just junior welders. ”

Under the scorching heat of August, the temperature in the electric factory far exceeded the outdoor temperature. Bai Baoxiang touched the iron shelf where the fire extinguisher was placed at the door of the workshop, this guy is so hot! He asked with concern, "There are forty degrees in here, right?" ”

"The workshop space is too large, and the central air conditioning is not powerful." Li Yang said: "The workers in this workshop can rest for 10 minutes after working for one hour, and there is also a supply of refreshing drinks, and the factory's cold drink fee is also paid in full." ”

Bai Baoxiang nodded, "Welders work hard, the headquarters knows it, and they are the cornerstone of our industry." You must do a good job in the welfare of the shipyard and let the front-line personnel feel warm. ”

"That's the installation shop." Li Yang pointed to the factory building in front of him, "The installation workshop is responsible for the installation and commissioning of the ship's machinery and equipment and its accessories, and it will take at least a month before they get busy." ”

Lan Hai continued: "Many tasks of the installation workshop and the welding workshop are to cooperate with each other, and a large number of welders are required to carry out the work when the installation workshop is assembled in sections, sections and slipways. ”

"Let's go to the outfitting shop." Li Yang said, "In addition to the few workshops I just went to, the rest is the outfitting workshop and the lifting and transportation workshop." ”

Qian Shuiting was a little puzzled, "Suit workshop? ”

"Outfitting is a term for shipbuilding, simply put, it means that after the main body of the ship is built, pipes, valves and other large equipment and decoration materials are loaded on the ship." Lan Hai patiently explained to Qian Shuiting, "This process involves the most specialties, and it is the most chaotic and accident-prone process in the shipbuilding process.

The outfitting workshop includes shore outfitting and wharf outfitting, which is mainly responsible for the installation and commissioning of mechanical and electrical equipment and its accessories on board, pipe fitting processing, installation of piping system and accessories, installation of wood and insulation, and installation of other outfitting parts; Painting, sail rigging, etc. ”

Bei Wei, the director of the workshop, greeted them at the door of the workshop.

Bei Wei, a native of Zhejiang, 0 years old, mechanical and electrical engineering, major in system integration project management, amateur radio, unlicensed electrical welder, unlicensed turning and milling worker,

"This is Bei Wei, the director of the workshop, who was also recruited in July." Li Yang said: "Although outfitting has not yet begun, the production and processing of pipes and accessories, as well as sail rigging, are already underway. ”

Then Li Yang led the team to the lifting and transportation, slipway, outfitting dock, and various auxiliary workshops.
