Chapter 683 LNG Carriers, the Dispute between China and South Korea

After some struggle, Chang Haonan still decided not to change the original schedule.

After all, going to the Commission of Science and Technology is almost like going home for him now-

When you go home, you can go back whenever you want.

And judging from the current posture, it is estimated that the start date of the Allied operation will not change much compared with March 24 of the previous life, and it is still half a month away.

He is in Huaxia, and there is actually nothing he can do except wait.

Therefore, it is not so important to notify Ding Gaoheng half a day early and half a day late.

As for AWACS, there is no hurry......

No matter how fast the turbofan 10 is, it will be after the new century after completing the finalization process.

The die forging press is about to enter the final stage, but this giant equipment is not ready to go after it is built and delivered, at least in the initial trial production stage, they still need technical support from the project team......

Originally, Chang Haonan was still looking forward to this meeting.

Chang Haonan briefly recalled, and remembered that there was indeed such a person just now, but he was sitting at the end of the opposite side, and he didn't open his mouth the whole time.

And that's thanks in large part to last year's assist.

There seemed to be no reason at all to make such a big deal and send a large delegation of more than 20 people to come and talk to him for half a day.

In short, you still have to get busy with the things in front of you......

Even if you are worried about figuring out something, send a few people to hand it over and it's over.

They came together as members of the GTT team.

But the problem is that these two things are already very mature businesses for the Torch Group, just make a phone call or place an order on the official website.

Basically, we are ready to purchase TORCH Multiphysics software, and hope that Torch Group can provide some technical support in the structural strength verification of LNG ships under ultra-low temperature.

It's a very real project.

The reason why he can remember it is because this person has a big guy's hairstyle.

Since his rebirth, Chang Haonan has dealt with the foreigners who have dealt with the most seem to be French and Italians.

This is also normal, in the cooperative relationship of building LNG ships, shipyards are basically in a relatively weak position.

After all, although there are certain technical barriers to the "ship" part of the LNG ship, in general, it is more difficult to "LNG" related parts.

The team sent by GTT is also very similar to the previous European companies.

"Mr. Chang, there is a comrade named Cai Honggui, who took a letter of introduction from Hudong Shipyard and said that he was one of the members of the delegation who had just participated in the talks and wanted to have a separate interview with you."

In particular, Hudong Shipyard is still not well-known in the world, and it is actually quite lucky to be included in the candidacy of GTT.

As for the Hudong Shipyard on the Huaxia side, in fact, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a separate party.

The two team leaders, although not explicitly introduced, are obviously one in charge of management and the other in charge of technology, named Eric Mikhalsky and Karim Shapo.

But after I really started, I found that the content proposed on the other side was a little bland.

Originally, Chang Haonan also planned to sell the Dawning 2000T supercomputer and the special edition of TORCH Multiphysics by the way, but in the end he gave up because of concerns.

However, after ending the meeting with some doubts, he soon received a call from Song Jingming.

The reflective kind.

"Okay, let him come to my office."

He had already planned to change his clothes and go directly to the Science and Technology Commission, but now he had to put on his suit jacket again.

……

A few minutes later, the bald man appeared outside the office and knocked on the door with a slight restraint.

"It's Comrade Cai Honggui, right? Come in. ”

Hearing Chang Haonan's greeting, the person who came quickly walked into the house.

"Hello, Mr. Chang."

The two shook hands.

"Sit down."

Chang Haonan stretched out his hand and gestured to the chair in front of the desk, motioned for the other party to sit down, and then took a glass of mineral water for the two of them:

"Did you come to me alone because of something that was inconvenient to say at the meeting?"

In fact, at the beginning, he was a little unable to let go when facing those subordinates who were older than him or even a generation higher, but after two years of training, he had adapted very naturally.

Cai Honggui took the cup with both hands, and saw that Chang Haonan had already guessed, so he didn't go around in circles, but nodded directly:

"That's right, it's about LNG carriers."

"As you may have noticed during the meeting, GTT's side was not very enthusiastic, at least compared to the size of the delegation they sent, the agenda was a little too bland."

Of course, Chang Haonan noticed it, but the other party has not yet explained his intentions, and he definitely can't show too obvious attitudes in advance, so he just made a noncommittal appearance and motioned for the other party to continue.

"Actually, when they first arrived in Huaxia at the end of last month, the situation was not like this......

Cai Honggui couldn't see Chang Haonan's thoughts, so he had to continue at the moment:

"The thin-film liquid cargo tank developed by GTT Group is currently mainly used in the first generation of products, mainly built by Japan and South Korea, and our factory has also introduced relevant patents to produce two small and medium-sized thin-film LNG carriers, but basically unable to occupy market share."

"Now because of last year's incident, GTT feels that Japanese shipyards may not be reliable in the long run, so they want to include our Huaxia in the sequence of certified shipping companies, but in the first generation of products, they have been too deeply bound to Japan and South Korea, and it is difficult to cut the business, so the main consideration is the next-generation technology that is about to be updated."

"In the second generation of membrane-type liquid cargo tanks, GTT is currently developing two routes in parallel, namely the Gas-Transport system and the Technigaz system, the difference between which is indescribable, mainly because the technical route of the insulation and anti-leakage layer on the inner wall of the cargo compartment is different."

"South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries has manufactured a large number of first-generation products, so it is natural to bet on the Technigaz system, the inner wall of the cargo compartment of this system is corrugated composite panels, the cost, volume and weight are very advantageous, that is, the construction difficulty is very high, and we are subject to technical limitations, or choose to work the relatively traditional Gas-Transport system, although more Yin tile steel plates will be used, but fortunately, the inner and outer layers have a complete load-bearing and shielding structure......"

This Cai Honggui is obviously also from a technical background, and after talking about topics related to shipbuilding technology, the initial nervousness quickly disappeared.

"Originally, because there were some problems with the adaptability of the Technigaz system in the cargo hold and the ship itself, GTT has recently been more optimistic about the Gas-Transport system, and is ready to hand over two orders to our factory to test the water, and if there are no problems, we will start mass production of LNG ships loaded with the Gas-Transport system."

"But just the other day, Samsung Heavy Industries suddenly announced that they had solved the problem of cabin fitting, so GTT's attention returned to the Technigaz system......"

Chang Haonan did not have an in-depth understanding of the situation of the shipbuilding industry before, so after the other party finished speaking, he still had a little aftertaste.

But the overall plot is still very clear.

Since the Technigaz system is superior in terms of cost, volume and weight, it is only natural that GTT will continue to invest too many resources in the Gas-Transport system.

This is also in line with what they have just behaved in the talks.

It is only the purchase of development tools and numerical calculation business from the Torch Group, rather than the joint development of the three parties.

You must know that although GTT has the core technology of LNG cargo tank, it will definitely not be able to build a ship with only one cargo tank.

If you really want to implement it on LNG ships, you still have to cooperate with the shipyard.

Of course, considering that the shipyard's own R&D strength may not be enough, sometimes a third party such as the Torch Group is also needed.

Now GTT has directly given up the way of joint development with Huaxia, which is basically the idea of "using the Gas-Transport system as a backup" on its face.

"So, what does Manager Cai mean ......"

"Our factory has purchased most of the core patents of the Gas-Transport system, and now since GTT is not enthusiastic, I think, can we directly cooperate with our plant and your company to develop LNG carriers using this technical route?"
