A convoy of several high-end Hongqi cars drove into the steel plant in the Jincheng Development Zone and stopped in front of the tall factory.

"I really didn't expect that Dongfang could actually make an 80,000-ton die forging press, and this level of die forging press has great use!" Dr. Wright got out of the car and said to Guo Xiangyang, the officer who accompanied him.

"Yes, in terms of tonnage, the die forging press here is the largest in the world." Guo Xiangyang nodded: "When this die forging press is built, it will definitely be able to better serve our production." ”

"No, it can not only serve your production, but also serve the world's production, Airbus is looking for hydraulic presses all over the world to forge their parts, and when your die forging press is successfully put into operation, you can earn tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, just by outsourcing tasks every year!"

Guo Xiangyang was excited in his heart, these are all foreign exchange, and the factories in their development zone can earn foreign exchange, which shows that the investment promotion of the development zone is very successful.

"Of course, it can also serve the military industry. This die forging press is used to press the steel plate, which can also greatly increase the strength of the steel plate. After all, Dr. Wright is a tank builder, and he never leaves his profession in three sentences, and when he said this, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, what about Mr. Qin?" ”

After getting off the plane, Dr. Wright couldn't find Qin Feng, and he couldn't say anything, after all, Qin Feng had something he had to be busy with, but without Qin Feng by his side, he always felt a little lost, so when he heard that Qin Feng was busy with work in Jincheng, he decided to come here to inspect.

Qin is always a person who does big things! For this level of die forging press, only Mr. Qin dares to invest heavily in research and development.

"Mr. Qin is in other workshops, Dr. Wright, wait a minute, let's go find someone to call Mr. Qin." Wang Fang, who was in charge of reception, said.

"No need, I'll go over myself." After Dr. Wright finished speaking, he glanced at the workshop of the die forging press that was close at hand, and it was not too late to look at it when he came back, the matter that Mr. Qin was personally busy with must be very important.

"Okay, Dr. Wright, please come with me."

The group walked in the factory area, and Dr. Wright looked at it as he walked: "The production equipment here looks a little familiar, as if it is from an island country?" ”

"Yes, the steelmaking equipment of the island country Kobe Steel, our cooperation is very pleasant, and the island country consultant has also been ......guiding us here," Wang Fang said, pointing to a factory building in the distance: "Mr. Qin is over there, guiding the production of steel cables." ”

"Tightrope?"

"Yes, in the process of production of our die forging press, we need to lift large parts such as beams, but the relevant supporting machines can only be purchased from abroad, which costs too much, so Mr. Qin decided to develop it himself, and also undertook the development of the most critical steel cable."

"Really? How much tension can this wire rope withstand? ”

"It is expected to withstand more than 80 tons of tensile force."

Eighty tons?

Dr. Wright's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he strode forward.

"Dr. Wright, you wait, you wait!"

Dr. Wright ignored the call and ran into the workshop, and when he entered, he saw the stranding machine twisting the wire rope.

Thirty steel wires are stretched from the steel coil, first through the crimping machine, the steel wire is pressed into a flat section, and then into the stranding machine, along the twisting direction, begins to wind.

These thirty steel wires have different thicknesses, of which 12 main steel wires are the thickest, and there are 12 steel wires with intermediate diameters, and in the middle of these steel wires, there are six thin steel wires.

In the process of steel wire winding, there are also * hemp fibers soaked in oil that are wound together to increase strength.

The process of winding is simply the same as that of their American blocking cable!

Dr. Wright watched the stranding machine slowly hinge together, his heart filled with shock.

"Dr. Wright, why are you here?" At this time, someone was busy on the stranding machine, and when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, he raised his head and was immediately surprised.

Zhao Jiao smiled secretly in her heart on the side, Brother Feng, you already knew that you deliberately lured Dr. Wright here, and then, it must be another fool!

"Mr. Qin, I came to the East to investigate, I have been wandering around various units in the past few days, and I also went to the grassland, I saw your tank factory, and I heard that you are going to build an 80,000-ton die forging press here, so I came here to take a look, what are you doing?"

"Wire rope, for this die forging press, I can only make my own wire rope." Qin Feng said: "This is just one of them, wait until there are six such hinges, and then I will hinge six more thin ones, and then twist these twelve together, it will be almost enough." ”

This is clearly the production process of MK7 blocking cable!

"Mr. Qin, how long will it take for this steel cable to be produced?"

"About three days."

This kind of steel cable, a large roll, it is impossible to build only a few tens of meters, it is broken from the middle, the general standard is a roll (or called a plate) a thousand meters, when used, as needed to truncate. There is only one stranding machine, so the efficiency of production is bound not to be very high.

Three days? Dr. Wright calculated the time in his heart: "Okay, then I will stay in the factory for these three days and watch you produce!" ”

"That's not good, is it?" Qin Feng said: "Dr. Wright, you are a tank designer, time is precious, come to visit our East, you want to see more other factories, how can you waste time with me." ”

"No waste, what's the waste here, with you, I feel very fulfilling, by the way, what are you going to use as the core of the thin thread?"

"Polyester material."

Dr. Wright was happy again, and sure enough, the production process was the same as that of the MK7 blocking cable, if the performance could also meet the standard......

"Mr. Qin, how much does such a steel cable cost?"

"It's expensive." Qin Feng frowned: "We have made a lot of money, and the cost of one meter will have to ......."

Seeing Qin Feng start to mentally calculate, Dr. Wright was a little worried, the cost of Dongfang production wouldn't be very expensive, right?

If it's particularly expensive, it doesn't make sense.

"At least a thousand dollars!" Qin Feng said: "Where is this steel cable, this is simply a golden cable!" ”

Only a thousand dollars? Dr. Wright was immediately excited.

One meter is 1,000, ten meters is 10,000, 100 meters is only 100,000, 300 meters is only 300,000, cheap, it's so cheap!

According to the usual methods used by the Orientals, the renminbi is turned into US dollars as the export price, which is only 300,000 US dollars, and the price of a single barrage of the same type used by the US military is more than one million! If you buy from the East, you can reduce the maintenance cost a lot!

How long is the blocking cable? This is a very metaphysical question, if someone goes to see the section exposed on the deck, it is only twenty or thirty meters, and even if you look at the width of the landing area, it is only fourteen meters, so is the blocking cable so long?

Of course not! This is only exposed on the surface of the deck, and there is a long one underneath, and it can be seen that after the aircraft hooks the barrage, the original straight line of the barrage line becomes the shape of a bowstring, and the length of the barrage line also increases with a whizz.

How long exactly? After the fighter plane hooked the blocking cable, it had to slide forward for hundreds of meters before it could stop, and each blocking cable could be pulled out of the pulleys on both sides for more than 130 meters, plus the original length, the blocking cable must be at least 300 meters long to be enough!

When the old Maozi's aircraft carrier was recovering the MiG-29K, the blocking cable was hooked off, and as a result, the last MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft waited in the sky for forty-five minutes, burned out the fuel and did not wait for it to be replaced, why? Because it's not as simple as the section exposed on the deck.

Although Dr. Wright builds tanks, their company has a lot of business projects, and of course they are involved in these fields.

"Qin, after it's finished, can you give me a section and let me take it away for testing?"

"What do you want this kind of steel rope for?" Qin Feng was a little curious: "You Americans have the strongest technology in the world, can't you still make this kind of steel cable?" ”

Of course we can make it, but the cost of making it ourselves is high! Dr. Wright thought in his heart, and didn't know how to answer, so Qin Feng continued: "However, we are friends, since you have this request, then of course I have to try my best to meet it, I have a sample here that has been made, Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong!" ”

Zhang Jianli rolled over the two-meter steel cable that Qin Feng had prepared this morning.

"Dr. Wright, this is for you."

Dr. Wright was extremely excited: "Okay, Mr. Qin, then I'll take this tightrope and leave!" ”

I originally said that I would stay for three days, but I didn't expect to leave directly with the steel cable! Moreover, I went straight to the airport by car!

Guo Xiangyang and the others were a little at a loss, they only saw Dr. Wright running into the workshop, and when they chased after him, Dr. Wright had already rolled out with a steel cable, which was too fast, right?

What did Mr. Qin and Dr. Wright say?

What's so magical about that tightrope?

When everyone entered, Qin Feng was still there seriously rolling the steel cable, and after watching it for a while, they couldn't understand anything, so they could only say goodbye and leave.

"Mr. Qin, our cost per meter is two hundred, right?" When these people left, Zhou Minghui couldn't help but speak.

"Really? Two hundred is not cheap, it hurts. ”

"But you told them a thousand per meter?"

"That's right, the Yankees are rich, and a thousand dollars a meter will definitely not be expensive."

Dollar! Zhou Minghui was even more stunned, this is not only five times the profit, but more than ten times.

"Mr. Qin, have you calculated that the other party will come to us to purchase?"

"Absolutely." Qin Feng nodded: "A thousand dollars per meter can be bought from us, which is more than half cheaper than their own production, and in the future, they will not produce it themselves, just buy it all from us." ”

This is not a simple sale, there is also a deeper layout in it!

In the United States, there is a market economy system, if there is no order, then related companies will go out of business, such as the catapult manufacturer Babcock-Wilcox, this BW company was founded in 1867, it was also very famous at that time, it invented the world's first steam boiler, and later through this, began to produce catapults.

By the sixties, the C-13 catapult matured, 62 were produced before and after, forty were installed on the Nimitz class, twenty on the Kitty Hawk class and the Enterprise class, and two were exported to the Charles de Gaulle.

To sum it up simply, in this era, only the United States in the world can produce steam catapults, and the United States only BW can produce them, although the Soviets are also engaged in it, but they are not really equipped with aircraft carriers, so they are not in this ranks.

On average, it will take more than a year to build one, which can be said to be a year without opening, open for a year, a trick fresh, and eat all over the world, but such a bullish and coaxing enterprise will not go bankrupt in the future.

After the Ford-class aircraft carrier came out, the steam catapult was not needed, and the BW company had not received an order for catapults for more than 20 years, and wanted to repair and upgrade the existing catapults in the navy, but it was also rejected, so it could only be stripped out of this department specializing in the production of catapults and liquidated.

Blocking ropes, you can also go this way!

At present, only the United States and Lao Maozi in the world can produce blocking cables, and France's blocking cables have to be purchased from the United States, a set of 1.5 million US dollars, super sky-high, and this thing is still a consumable, and it has to be exchanged for a hundred times at most, even the wealthy Yankees are a little unbearable, so as long as the performance of this steel cable produced in the East is up to standard, the Yankees will definitely purchase it in large quantities, as for the enterprises that produce this kind of blocking cable in their own country?

Who made you sell it so expensive! Even if the navy does not change its appropriation, it will not purchase from its own country, and the money saved can go into the pockets of some people.

In this way, the country's enterprises will definitely go bankrupt, and in the future......

Now that the relationship between the East and the West is so good, take advantage of this rare good opportunity, you have to dig a hole!

Three days later, the first coil of steel cable was produced, wound around a huge wooden axle disc. Looking at this steel cable, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally completed the mission of a private enterprise! If you make it now, you can use it at any time if you want to use it in the future, so you can save the time to catch the blind.

"Mr. Qin, our 700-ton crane is also in the process of being produced." He Ming came to see the excitement, and he was also extremely emotional: "We thought this thing would be difficult, but I didn't expect that nothing would be difficult for you!" ”

"What's so difficult about this, if you need a 1,000-ton crane in the future, we can also help produce the corresponding steel cable, even if it's 10,000 tons, we can build it."

A 10,000-ton crane? The big guys were shocked, and only Mr. Qin dared to think about it.

"We only need five hundred meters to be enough, this volume is a bit much." He Ming continued.

"Throw more into the warehouse, take it out and ......use it when you need it in the future" Before Qin Feng's words were finished, Wang Fang ran over: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, Dr. Wright is back, and he has brought a few Americans who I haven't seen before!" ”

Okay, so fast, it seems that the other party is in a hurry! A smile appeared on Qin Feng's face: "Okay, please come over!" ”

Dr. Wright came and went in a hurry, but fortunately there were flights every day, otherwise it would have been a real delay, and several of them entered the factory in the car, and went straight to the factory where the ropes were produced.

"This roll is a thousand meters, enough to be used as three blocking cables. We bought this volume back and put it on the land simulation base of the air station to test it. Inside the car, Swift, a senior officer of the US Navy, said excitedly: "If there is no problem with the quality, we can purchase a large number of them in the future!" ”

Although their current aircraft carrier has four blocking cables, the last blocking cable is almost useless, and only the front three can be replaced. It is more dangerous to use it directly on an aircraft carrier, but it is safer to test it on land first.

The car stopped.

"Mr. Qin, I'm back again, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Swift, I heard that you have such an advanced blocking rope here...... Tightrope, I came here to investigate. Dr. Wright came up to say hello.

Swift? Qin Feng looked at the temperament of a soldier revealed between the other party's gestures, and connected a certain character in his memory with the person in front of him, this guy's status is not low, and he will have a lot of dealings in the future.

"Hello, hello." Qin Feng shook his hand enthusiastically.

"Mr. Qin, can your steel rope achieve the performance of the sample?"

"Of course you can, it's all the same furnace of steel." Qin Feng said.

"Well, can you sell it to us?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "I can't." ”

No?

Swift was stunned for a moment, what does this mean? I came all the way to buy a high-quality and inexpensive blocker, but the other party didn't sell it?

Swift looked at Dr. Wright with a puzzled gaze, and Dr. Wright hurriedly asked Qin Feng, "Why?" ”

"Because we want to use it ourselves, we use it for our cranes, what are you going to use it for?"

"We ...... We are also for crane use. Dr. Wright said: "There is a crane in Mr. Swift's company, the steel cable is broken, I heard that the steel cable is also produced here, so I came all the way over, Mr. Qin, you are hospitable in the East, can you sell us this volume first?" ”

"That's right, we're also using cranes!" Swift nodded his head.

"Okay, then I'll sell it to you." Qin Feng nodded: "This place is relatively close to the port, we can send it to the port for you for free." As for the price, this volume is a million dollars, can you accept it? ”

"Price is not an issue." Swift nodded: "But it's too slow to go by sea, so we'll send a transport plane......"

"Ahem." Dr. Wright coughed twice: "Mr. Swift, we asked a civil cargo plane to help transport it." ”

Everyone was shocked that such a volume was sold for a million dollars! It's too easy to make money, isn't it?

In the distance, several dwarfs were also quietly watching the progress here.

"The Americans came to buy this kind of steel cable, which should be used on aircraft carriers."

"That's right, these Orientals can actually produce such a strong steel cable, I heard that the Americans used that sample for experiments, and it broke under the tensile force of 95 tons, which is as good as their own use!"

"Hmph, in fact, we can also produce it, but if we make it, the price will not be cheaper than that of American manufacturers, and the price in the East is only one-third, which is too cheap!"
