Chapter 169: Confrontation
The reason why he said that he wanted to build an island was not actually an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.
There is only one reason for him: technology overlap!
According to his memory, the core technology of the previous large-scale excavation and dredging ship of the Sky Whale was the ship's comprehensive electrical technology.
This behemoth uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, and then drives the motor through DC bus technology and active front-end frequency conversion technology, so that its total installed power reaches more than 25,000 kilowatts, and the rated power of the winch alone reaches 9,000kw.
It stands to reason that every technology used in this ship requires additional research and development, and it is difficult to make progress in a short period of time.
But the problem is that the current Spark team already has a Deep Blue 16 project.
In the Deep Blue 16 project, the ship's comprehensive electrical technology is one of the difficulties to be broken through!
Not to mention, the AGT110 gas turbine is already in the process of being manufactured, and once it comes out, it will be able to provide more powerful power to the "Sky Whale" that has not yet appeared, and may even surpass the level of the previous Sky Whale.
So, in this case, the project of a large dredger, it should be said that it came into being.
Not to mention, there were no difficulties with the launch of this project.
In the previous life, although the main designer of the Sky Whale was the German company VOSTALMG, the ship and offshore engineering design and research of Shanghai Jiaotong University also undertook important work at the same time.
Moreover, at this point in time, the research institute of Jiaotong University should be cooperating with the Tianjin Waterway Bureau to develop the "Tieens" dredger.
On the basis of this project, it should not be much of a problem to directly let them take a step forward and go to the design of the Sky Whale.
We don't have to wait until 2013, but at most a year, for us to start the island-building operation that will have a huge impact on the future.
It doesn't matter if the aircraft carrier hasn't been launched yet.
As long as the island is built, there will be our fixed aircraft carrier!
Thinking of this, Chen Nian took a deep breath, and then said to Chen Guo in front of him:
"Professor Chen, we have to build an island, and this work can't wait any longer."
"The longer we wait, the more we lose, and it won't be easy to get it back later."
"Today they dare to hit our people, tomorrow they dare to hit our ship, wait a few more years, I'm afraid they will even dare to dismantle our base!"
"There are only two ways to solve this problem."
"Either ignore it and fight them again."
"Or, just take it step by step, build the island, and expand the scope of actual control!"
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo nodded solemnly.
Although he is a technician, and he does not have the experience from his previous life like Chen Nian, he is still not incomprehensible to such an obvious situation.
Those Vietnamese monkeys didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, but at this point in time, when everyone was considering avoiding the edge for the time being, they wanted to try their luck instead.
In that case, don't blame us for doing it.
Yes, if you don't use thermal weapons, then we don't either.
Aren't you going to reclaim the sea and create an island?
Then it's up to who's filling in fast!
Looking at Chen Nian's anger mixed with regret, Chen Guo took a deep breath, and then said:
"Then build an island!"
"I knew that there was a large dredger project at Shanghai Jiaotong University, so I went to communicate with them and included this project in the management of Xinghuo."
"The budget for this type of project is not too much, and it just so happens that the J-20B project has a budget balance, and it is directly allocated to them, so that they can build things in advance, and then immediately pull them to the sea!"
"No, not the current project."
Chen Nian shook his head and said:
"The project they are working on is Tieens, which is too small in terms of tonnage and cutter suction power to meet our requirements."
"If you want to do it, make it big."
"The core technology of this kind of large-scale dredger is actually nothing more than a few, power, reamer shafting and transmission, mud pump, and at most a three-cable positioning technology."
"It is not difficult to reamer shafting and transmission system, so let Jiaotong University figure it out by itself."
"Not to mention the mud pump, it is a mature technology, and at most the water sealing pump and transmission ratio can be adjusted."
"So, in fact, the only real difficulty is motivation."
"But the direction of power is clear, that is, the gas turbine + integrated power system, so as to save the load of the diesel engine, with a knife reamer and a mud pump."
"AGT110 is already being engaged, and what we need to overcome now is the ship's integrated electric."
"Leave it to Mr. Ma Weiming, he must be fine, but he really can't. And me. ”
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo couldn't help but laugh.
He can't, and me.
In this way, it can be regarded as arrogance wherever it is placed, especially when the object is Ma Weiming.
However, now that it came out of Chen Nian's mouth, he only felt relieved.
Young people, you just have to have such vitality!
Especially when you are obviously carrying a heavy treasure, why should you be as depressed as those old people?
It is to be crazy, that is, to have the heroic spirit of "popping up the sea and turning the river, and turning the tide and falling down"!
If he didn't have such a bit of pride, how could he be worthy of the responsibility he took on himself, and how could he be worthy of the ambition he once promised to be "full of redness"?
So, Chen Guo was no longer verbose, but said bluntly:
"Okay, then it's decided!"
"When our ship is built, we will build an island a year, and in the future, our soldiers will have to let them live in upstairs!"
Looking at Chen Guo's expectant expression, Chen Nian couldn't help but smile.
An island a year? Living in a building?
What is this?
It's too daring.
He coughed and spoke:
"Professor Chen, think bigger."
"Our goal is not that small."
"What an island a year, at least 10 a year."
"And on every island, an airport has to be built."
"In the future, these islands, which are the real 'unsinkable aircraft carriers', will also truly become our territory."
"We're going to build cities there, we're going to build factories there."
"We're going to extract the oil there, we're going to exploit the resources there."
"All in all, the sea there will be ours."
Chen Guo opened his mouth slightly and did not speak.
From Chen Nian's eyes, he saw an indescribable "determination".
This is completely different from himself.
When talking about the so-called goals, if what he shows is expectation, then Chen Nian is bound to win.
He truly believed that everything that came out would come true, as if he had ever seen it
On the other side, in a military base in Hanoi.
Nguyen Hoa Khai sat at his desk, opposite his immediate boss, Nguyen Dung Luong.
He smoked unscrupulously, without the respect that his subordinates had for his superiors, for the simple reason that the man across from him was not only his boss, but also his father.
"Your actions are too radical this time, and you know that our strategy has always been to avoid direct conflict."
"But now, you're not only beating their men, but you've also seriously wounded one of them, and you know how much trouble that caused us?"
Ruan Yongliang looked at his son opposite sternly and said earnestly.
But Ruan Huakai didn't take it seriously at all, and just replied indifferently:
"What about the trouble? In the end, it was not solved. ”
"I said it a long time ago, these people are all paper tigers, and they don't dare to really do anything to us."
"Don't you dare to take us? It's only been a few years? ”
"Do you think they really don't dare to fight? They just don't want to fight! ”
Ruan Yongliang said in a fierce voice.
He really can't do anything about this son.
If you want to talk about ability, in fact, Ruan Huakai's ability is extremely strong, and after only a few years in the army, he has already established his own group of descendants and mastered some of the forces in the army.
Moreover, he is not the kind of old-fashioned leader who only drills camps, on the contrary, he has received advanced education from the West and has an extremely solid theoretical foundation.
Whether it is in military strategy or logistics technology, he can be called an expert.
In the past, when I participated in the cocktail party, whenever someone mentioned his son, it was full of praise.
This is definitely not the light of Lao Tzu, because several times, he has heard someone refer to himself with words like "Ruan Huakai's father".
He didn't feel any offense, but was proud.
But what made him helpless was that his son was a radical through and through, especially when dealing with maritime issues, and the strategy he proposed was not only his own, but also that of other officers of the younger generation.
On one occasion, he even proposed to wage another local war at sea to completely expand the Line of Actual Control.
As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was opposed by everyone, but Ruan Huakai did not flinch at all, fighting in front of several great generals.
Ruan Yongliang even suspected that if he hadn't stopped him in time at that time, he might have been able to convince a few people
Thinking of this, he sighed again, lowered his voice and said:
"I'm not kidding you, I know your ambitions, but the problem is, some things aren't rushed."
"Just like this time, you think we've taken advantage of them, but in fact, we've paid the price in other ways in order to deal with the consequences you've caused."
"In the future, you must not be impulsive again."
"Give us old guys some more time, and in another 10 years, it's time for you to show your talents."
Hearing his father's earnest words, Ruan Huakai's tone also softened.
"Well, this time it's true that I didn't think it through."
"Actually, I really don't plan to clash with them head-on, I just want to pull down their flag and teach them a lesson."
"But I didn't expect them to come so quickly, to be honest, our counterattack was also a last resort."
"If we don't do it, it's our own brother who will be hurt."
Ruan Yongliang nodded and said approvingly:
"It's good that you have this kind of thinking, in the army, you just have to protect your comrades at any cost."
"But it's still the same sentence, use your brain more in the future, and there is not only one way to solve the problem."
Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly, and then said:
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you, I have a new strategy."
"What strategy?"
Ruan Yong asked curiously.
According to his experience, every time his son proposes a "strategy", although most of them are more radical, they often have strong practical value, even if they cannot be used directly, they can be flexibly adapted.
Overall, he is a qualified decision-maker.
So, he was eager to hear what his son would say this time.
"Don't you think our reclamation is too inefficient?"
Ruan Yongliang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked:
"Is it low?"
"It's ridiculously low."
"According to my estimates, we are now building less than 5,000 square meters of islands every year, you probably think that is a large number, right? But in reality, a standard football field is 7140 square meters. ”
"In other words, we used thousands of people and hundreds of ships of various types in a year, and we couldn't even build a football field."
"What's more, these 5,000 square meters are not really concentrated in one place, it is scattered across the incomparably vast ocean."
"The area that can really be used will not actually exceed 2,000 square meters."
"It's too slow. Even so slow that I don't know what the point of its existence is. ”
"Maybe when we come back the next year, the islands that were built the previous year have been eroded by the waves."
Ruan Yongliang's eyes widened in surprise, he had never expected that the situation on the sea would be so bad.
"What is the reason? Corrupt? ”
"It's not."
Ruan Huakai shook his head and continued to answer:
"It's purely because our equipment is too backward."
"Most of those boats are ordinary fishing boats, and there are only a few small sand dredging boats and transport boats."
"The role these vessels can play at sea is extremely limited, and it is normal for them to be inefficient."
"And what do you suggest?"
Nguyen Dung Liang had already guessed what his son was going to say, but he still intended to let him say it himself.
"It's easy, update your gear."
"We need new dredging vessels, and they are large cutter suction dredging vessels that can be used at sea."
Ruan Huakai replied immediately.
"Where to import? How much does it cost? ”
This was Ruan Yongliang's first reaction, in his opinion, all equipment did not have the option of "making".
"No, we can't buy it this time."
"We had to build it ourselves, because we couldn't find a suitable exporter in the world, and even if we did, it would be expensive."
"We have to master the technology ourselves, because of the economy."
Hearing this, Ruan Yongliang frowned.
Mastering the technology yourself?
It's easy to say, but looking at the whole country, which research institute can have such technology?
If the project is forcibly launched for research and development, the final result is estimated to fatten a large number of civil officials in the field of scientific research, and then it will be completely unfinished.
As if seeing Ruan Yongliang's worries, Ruan Huakai smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, Father."
"I'm ready."
"This time, although we have to build it ourselves, we don't need to develop it independently."
"There's a company in Germany called VOSTALMG, and we can bring them in and put them in charge of the overall design."
"And we, we just need to sit back and enjoy the accomplishments"
