Chapter 791: The Great Dragon Boat of the House Boat
"General manager, this is the big cruise ship you want, the final decoration has been completed, and it was officially launched yesterday for sea trials, and no problems were found."
In the No. 16 dock of the Qinglong Bay Shipyard, at the junction with a Grand Canal, Xie Limin pointed to two snow-white three-story cruise ships floating in the Grand Canal.
The docks No. 16 to No. 18 here are used for the construction of small and medium-sized boats and river vessels.
Dock 16 could build three river vessels at the same time, with a gate connected to a large canal next to the dock.
The dock here is highly automated, and when the ship is launched, the dock where the individual river vessel is located is filled with a large amount of river water using a high-power high-pressure pump.
Then, with the removal of the movable slipway support, the boat floats on the water, opens the locks, and sails with the current into the Grand Canal ahead.
Although these two large cruise ships are only three stories high, they are 33 meters long and 9 meters wide.
In addition to being a flat-bottomed boat, it is shaped like a large dragon boat in the Sui Dynasty.
The biggest difference is that they are not made of wood, but are made of special marine steel and special plastic steel.
They are a pair of sister ships, and the result is exactly the same.
When designing, considering that it was a large inland river cruise ship, Wang Qiang and Chang'e unanimously selected the kind of dragon boat that Yang Guang took when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River as the main shape, and then optimized it in many aspects.
Therefore, the appearance of these two completed river cruise ships is very similar to the dragon boat of Yang Guang in the south of the Yangtze River, but the interior is very modern.
Since the three-storey ship-style building is all on deck, it is well designed.
It is actually a three-storey luxury hotel floating on the water, and a star hotel has the functions that it basically has, and it is a luxury version.
Most of the decoration materials are still the company's unique new plastic steel and special glass, plus the company's unique snow-white magic paint, which looks extremely neat and beautiful.
Both yachts are powered by a new battery pack that is capable of navigating 3,000 kilometres on a single charge, making it easy to reach the next city along the way to recharge.
In the future, the company's inland river vessels will eliminate all fuel vessels and use all electric drives, so as not to cause environmental pollution and damage the ecological environment of the Grand Canal.
Nowadays, charging piles have been built on the side of the big piers along every Grand Canal, which can be charged around the clock.
All new river vessels have a fast-charging sub-device configuration, which only needs to be charged for three hours.
Moreover, the charging pile and the new boat have a charging protection function, and when the power is fully charged, the power will be automatically cut off, which is very safe and convenient.
The same is true in all coastal cities nowadays, where a large number of charging piles have been built in all directions, and almost all parking lots have them.
Whether it's a private car or a company's own car, you don't have to pay for it.
This is because the company's electricity is simply not used up, and it is regarded as everyone's welfare.
However, Chang'e has formulated strict regulations on safe electricity use, and if it is violated, it will immediately be punished according to the seriousness of the situation.
If the violation is serious, it is possible to cancel the qualification to drive, sail, or even expel or drive away.
"Well, Chen Yingchun, Liu Jie, Deng Mengying, let's go up and have a look."
He Lizhen said to the core managers of several companies around her.
"Okay, let's get on the boat and have a look." ……
The crowd agreed.
Later, they will have the two yachts sailed away to stock up on various supplies.
Today is April 2nd, 87, and three days later is the Qingming Festival.
All the people who traveled this time, together with Wang Qiang, together did not have twenty people, only sixteen people.
The average person doesn't sign up for it with a lot of fun.
One of the purposes of this trip was to see the Grand Canal and the various coastal cities, as well as to see the scenery of the African continent.
Except for He Lizhen, who will bring four secretaries, the rest of the people are managers and supervisors of a department, and there are no idle people.
These two river cruise ships are equipped with autopilot systems and do not need people to control them.
Because this trip is long enough, you need to prepare a lot of everything.
In particular, the large refrigerators and freezers installed on cruise ships are filled with all kinds of food.
Even the company's special automatic charging car has to bring one, so that there is no need to worry about the satellite communication watch and computer running out of power during this trip.
Otherwise, once there is no electricity outside, the consequences will be irretrievable.
After all, more than a dozen of them are the absolute core executives of the company, in charge of all aspects of the company's work, and they have to work remotely every day.
Even the company's luxury pickup trucks had to be brought on board to make the investigation along the prairie go smoothly without delaying time.
Since He Lizhen and the core managers of these companies want to experiment with mobile office management, of course, they will not stay on the cruise ship every day, and they will have to go around on land from time to time.
Therefore, they made a very thorough plan for this trip and to experience the new remote mobile office model.
"Everybody come with me."
Xie Limin said to He Lizhen and them.
Then, he led the group around the road by the dock to the outside of the locks, where two large cruise ships floated quietly in the middle of the Grand Canal, with movable retractable decks, on the pier on the bank of the river.
The group walked up to the big pier and walked along the sturdy and delicate movable deck to a large cruise ship.
First of all, everyone made a big circle on the side of the unobstructed ship with no dead angles at 360 degrees.
On the deck, in addition to the deck is made of special alloy steel, the ship's side and railings are made of special plastic steel, which is lightweight, beautiful and strong.
None of the company's vessels are lighter than boats of the same size, in large part because of the company's unique plastic steel materials, which are extremely strong and tough.
This allows the vessel to reduce a lot of dead weight and at the same time allows for interior decoration without affecting the speed of the vessel.
In the construction of a ship, the three aspects of materials, dead weight and marine engine are definitely the three most critical factors.
Once all three have reached the leading level, the obstacles to the construction of advanced ships are basically gone.
"This faucet shape is really beautiful!"
"Yes! I've never seen a dragon boat in the style of an ancient building, and now I find it to look like this. ”
"However, this large cruise ship is made of special alloy metals, special plastic steel, and special glass as the main building materials, which is much stronger than the ancient building boat-style dragon boats."
"But in terms of the layout of the appearance, it is too similar to the ancient building-style dragon boat, although it is not golden yellow but snow-white."
"I heard that at first, it was a completely antique golden hull design, and later the boss changed the two large cruise ships to snow white." ……
Everyone looked around on this big tanker and talked about it.
Without exception, it is all a compliment to such a luxurious and exquisite cruise ship.
The interior decoration of the building boat cruise ship made them even more amazed: where is this still an inland river boat? It's a luxury three-storey villa!
Indeed, because it is an inland river boat and is used by the company's high-level management, Wang Qiang himself is estimated to use it often in the future, of course, it must be designed and built comfortably.
Moreover, each floor has a layout of only 300 square meters, so even if it is designed luxuriously, there is no difficulty in building it.
It is mainly built using special plastic steel, which is too easy to shape and weld.
With the company's specially manufactured special plastic steel welding machine, it is possible to complete the construction of a building on a three-story deck in a single day.
With fully mechanized construction, coupled with sufficient materials and labor, although it has been improving, Xie Limin and his people only spent three days to complete the construction of the main body of the two large cruise ships.
However, it took a month to decorate the two luxury cruise ships by 100 experienced veteran shipwrights, and the decoration was completed in strict accordance with the drawings.
After all, this is a special ship for the core executives of the company, and everyone dare not be careless, so they naturally want to make it as good as possible.
He Lizhen took everyone to carefully look at the two large oil tankers, inside and out, and praised Xie Limin with satisfaction.
Xie Limin immediately activated the autopilot mode of the two large oil tankers, and drove along the Grand Canal to Qinglong City with everyone.
The large oil tanker stopped at a large wharf in the warehouse area of the logistics department, and Xie Limin immediately took his leave and left.
He also needs to return to the Qinglongwan Shipyard as soon as possible and continue to direct everyone to carry out the construction of fifteen large sea ships.
This means that the two river cruise ships have been officially delivered to the company's logistics department, and a task of the shipyard has also been completed.
