The pirate attack killed and wounded 135 crew members and 23 passengers.

After repelling a wave of pirates, Prince Steele immediately ordered the ship to return to Walvis Bay Harbor overnight.

As the host here, Chen Chen simply chartered the remaining vacant rooms in all the hotels in Walvis Bay Harbor for this group of tourists who escaped death.

This group of poor people basically didn't dare to take a boat in their lives.

The Namibian authorities have also attached great importance to this pirate attack case, stating that they will take cracking down on piracy as one of their basic national policies for a period of time in the future.

On Chen Chen's side, the heirs of the four financial families died in his hands, and the next thing was naturally a mess, but fortunately, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at the casino, and there was no problem of being unclear.

Besides, his stupid son wants to usurp the throne, and I believe that as long as these fathers are not waste, they will not be unaware.

Chen Chen was not interested in paying attention to the next thing, he directly handed over the mess to Qian Wenhuan to deal with, and he took the company's negotiation team and flew directly to Europe and Germany.

As one of the countries of the sub-federation system of the Earth Federation, although Germany suffered a crushing defeat after World War II, with the five permanent members of the United Nations announced the official transformation of the United Nations into the Earth Federation in 1992, all the forces in the world began to reshuffle violently, and Germany also successfully got rid of the hat of a defeated country and gained the opportunity to rise.

Under Xiao X's appointment, Chen Chen went directly to the Meyer shipyard in Pabenburg, Germany, to discuss the order of the cruise ship with the owner of the shipyard.

There are only four shipyards in the world that have the capacity to build cruise ships of more than 200,000 tons: Aker Shipyard in Finland, Meyer Shipyard in Germany, Atlantique Shipyard in France, and Fenfencant Shipyard in Italy.

Among them, the Meyer shipyard in Germany, although not the cheapest, is the fastest of all shipyards.

Meyer Shipyard is known as the "German Giant", it is the largest and most modern shipyard in Germany, but as soon as he got off the plane, the manager of Meyer Shipyard came to greet Chen Chen.

After some pleasantries, everyone got into the car and drove towards the headquarters of the Meyer shipyard.

Next, Chen Chen visited the dock of the Meyer Shipyard, which is also the largest indoor dock in the world to date.

The dock is 504 meters long, 125 meters wide and 75 meters high, and it is like standing in the lair of a dragon, while humans are a nest of bed bugs.

The person in charge of leading Chen Chen to visit the dock this time was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big back and a deep and steady temperament.

At this time, the man asked, "Mr. Chen Chen, that's all for the visit, I don't know what kind of cruise ship you want to order?" ”

"Are there many categories of cruises?" Chen Chen asked, staring at a cruise ship under construction in the dock.

"That's not true, but according to the degree of economy, cruise ships can be divided into economy cruises and commercial cruises, in addition to luxury cruises."

The man with the big back continued to explain, "For example, the world's largest ocean series of cruise ships, this series is all luxury cruise ships. ”

"The main feature of luxury cruise ships is to highlight the travel experience of passengers, knowing that the size of the Ocean series cruise ships is enough to carry tens of thousands of passengers."

"However, in order to provide passengers with a better experience, the cruise ship is actually designed with more than 2,000 rooms, which can only carry 6,000 people, and most of the space has been turned into public facilities for services."

"On top of that, the facilities of the luxury cruise ship are top-notch."

The man with the big back pointed to a cruise ship under construction, "Every restaurant is big, the furniture in the guest rooms is the same, it's just a cabin, but the decoration inside is equivalent to a five-star hotel, these are the hallmarks of a luxury cruise ship." ”

Chen Chen listened and nodded, "What about the power system?" ”

"Cruise ships have higher requirements for the performance of the power system, noise and other conditions, according to our company's statistical analysis of global cruise ships, the use of 'diesel-electric' propulsion power system luxury cruise ships are the most, accounting for more than 70 percent."

"There are only 10 cruise ships with a diesel-fueled hybrid system, compared with 33 with a diesel engine power system, and one luxury cruise ship with nuclear propulsion."

This time, without waiting for Chen Chen to continue to ask, the mustache automatically explained, "The so-called 'diesel-electric' propulsion power is to use diesel engines to generate electricity for electric motors, so as to drive the propellers to work, which is extremely suitable for luxury cruise ships in terms of economy and performance." ”

"What about nuclear power?"

Chen Chen asked directly.

The mustache looked a little strange when he heard this, but he still said, "Although we humans have realized a nuclear power plant, we have to say that the power of the cruise ship is very different from that of the land installation, the reactor is expensive and complex to maintain, and on the cruise ship, the investment in nuclear power is ten times that of ordinary power, which is very cost-effective." ”

"I see." Chen Chen nodded, "In that case, then my cruise ship should still use diesel-electric devices with the crowd." ”

"It's the most sane."

The mustache agreed, "So are you ready to customize a cruise now?" I don't know what your requirements are, we have a large number of ship designers who can help you solve them. ”

"I want my cruise ship to be as big as possible."

Chen Chen thought for a while, "The length is about 500 meters, the width is about 100 meters, the higher the power system, the better, I heard that ships have more than one power system?" ”

"Generally speaking, cruise ships have one main power and one backup power." Hearing the size reported by Chen Chen, the mustache widened his eyes and replied subconsciously.

"In that case, I'm going to have a double portion."

Chen Chen nodded and said, "I want to install two sets of main power and two sets of backup power on the cruise ship." ”

“……”

The mustache was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings, a set of power systems includes diesel generators and electric motors and other equipment, these equipment are very huge, and the weight is extremely high, four sets of power equipment is enough to occupy the bottom of the entire hull, there is no economic advantage......"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Chen shook his head, "I didn't build a cruise ship to make a profit, but to build a sea experiment base. ”

"Offshore experimental base?" The mustache is even more incomprehensible.

Chen Chen nodded, "So, my ship can have entertainment facilities, but I don't need such things as guest rooms, at most some dormitories and laboratories, and laboratories need a lot of power systems." ”

"I see."

The mustache finally understood, and forced a smile, "In other words, you are not planning to build a cruise ship, but a work ship?" ”

"Yes, a work vessel that can anchor in the 'high seas' for experiments." Chen Chen stared at the middle-aged man in front of him and said word by word.

"Okay......

The mustache wiped the sweat from his forehead, "In that case, what kind of power power system are you going to use?" If your boat needs to be that big, we recommend this Leroy Somer LSA62 generator, each with 20,000 kilowatts. ”

"Of course, I chose the most powerful." Chen Chen deserved.

"It's definitely a smart choice." The mustache nodded, "We have 12 units left, if you want to install a few more spare units, how many would you like to buy?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Chen stretched out his hand, put it in front of the mustache, and then held it tightly.

"I want them all!"
