The first steel plate of the 054 ship was welded at the Dongjiang Shipyard. The first weld was very beautiful and the welding quality was first-class.

The warm applause rang for a long time.

Everyone is happy!

Almost everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, and Zhang Yi felt even more proud and kept saying in his heart that the first weld was welded by me and I personally welded it!

It took a long time before the applause gradually stopped.

Luo Jianguo looked at the weld with satisfaction again, and then reminded: "Comrade Wangdong, Comrade Baoguo, the Type 054 missile frigate will be welded, and you will have to work hard in the future construction work."

"It should."

"Not hard work, we must ensure quality and quantity, and complete the construction task on schedule."

The two of them answered this and were full of confidence in the future construction work.

The construction of the 054 ship entered the welding process, and Yang Fan was extremely happy and even imagined what the grand occasion would be for the first ship to be delivered in two years.

The previous stakes and materials can only be said to be the preliminary process, and it will be completely different when it enters welding, which means that the construction has completely entered a substantial stage.

Welding of components, welding of segments, closing welding of total segments, etc.

Everyone stayed at the welding site for about 30 minutes. After the first weld was completed, several other welding platforms were busy, and the welding workers began to weld each component.

What a lively scene!

What a pleasant scene!

Accompanied by Feng Wangdong, Sun Baoguo and other leaders of Dongjiang Shipyard, everyone happily left the welding site with a chat and laugh.

At noon, Dongjiang Shipyard prepared a sumptuous lunch.

This lunch has two meanings. One is to entertain Yang Fan and Luo Jianguo, and the other is to celebrate the first steel plate of the 054 ship to start welding today.

After lunch, everyone thought Luo Jianguo would return to the capital because he was busy with work and time was precious.

But he took the initiative to say, "Comrade Yang Fan, I'll go to your place to sit and let's talk about something."

"oh!"

Yang Fan was slightly surprised, but soon realized that Commander Luo should have something very important to chat with him in person.

Why didn’t we say specifically what happened? Maybe it’s not convenient for the leaders of Dongjiang Shipyard.

Yang Fan said enthusiastically: "Okay, I have some coffee there, let's sit down and have some coffee together."

The two made an appointment and walked out of the restaurant where they were dining together. The leaders of Dongjiang Shipyard watched them get on the bus.

After the car left, a leader couldn't help but say, "Commander Luo took the initiative to find Chief Yang. What will they talk about?"

Feng Wangdong said: "Don't be curious about other people's affairs. Our main job now is to build the 054 ship."

Yang Fan warmly invited Luo Jianguo into his office and made two cups of coffee by himself. The two sat down on the sofa in the reception area, drinking coffee while chatting.

First, we talked about the construction of the first ship at the Dongjiang Shipyard, and then we talked about the design of the Type 054 missile frigate.

Luo Jianguo said with a serious look: "Comrade Yang Fan, please tell me a briefing. Is the design of the Type 054 missile frigate temporarily stable? There will be no major changes in recent years, right?"

What a question you ask?

What is the purpose?

Yang Fan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he soon thought of a possibility.

It is estimated that the military is beginning to consider the construction plan of the second ship 054. If the design is basically stable and there will be no major changes, the construction of the second ship may be started in the near future.

"Well, it's probably like this." Yang Fan said in his heart.

After understanding what happened, Yang Fan said: "I can clearly say that the design of the Type 054 missile frigate is basically stable, there will be no major changes, and there will be no subversive problems, just some weapons and equipment upgrades."

The updates and changes of weapons and equipment will not be very big, because Yang Fan has fully considered this in the design. The entire design is very convenient for the replacement of weapons and equipment.

Added: "Of course, there must be some minor improvements. The design of the 054 ship is a process of continuous improvement and improvement."

After hearing Yang Fan's words, Luo Jianguo felt relieved.

The design of the Type 054 missile frigate is basically stable, and no major changes will be made within the next three or five years.

Noticed Luo Jianguo's reassured expression, Yang Fan asked tentatively.

"Commander Luo, have you already started to consider the construction of the second ship?"

Not to hide it, Luo Jianguodao: "I do have this consideration. Today, I came to Donghai City. In addition to seeing the welding of the first steel plate with my own eyes, more importantly, I want to talk to you about the construction of the second ship."

Yang Fan is familiar with history.

Historically, just a few months after the construction of the first ship, the second ship 054 started construction at the Xiangjiang Shipyard.

Yang Fan said: "I hope to hear the details."

First, I listen to Luo Jianguo’s speech and then speak.

Luo Jianguo admitted: "Since the design of the 054 ship has been basically stable and there will be no major improvements, I will bring this situation back."

"After considering this situation above, I estimate that the construction of the second 054 ship will be started soon..."

Yang Fan listened carefully.

After Luo Jianguo gave a speech, he solicited Yang Fan's opinion, "Comrade Yang Fan, if construction starts to build the second ship 054, which shipyard do you think is more appropriate to hand over the construction task to."

It is definitely no longer Dongjiang Shipyard.

This is a basic consensus.

Yang Fan knew that if history had not deviated from this point of view, the second ship should have been built at the Xiangjiang Shipyard.

But you can't predict it before you know it!

To be honest, Yang Fan has not been to this shipyard after his rebirth, and his understanding of it is limited to Hu Yong's introduction, and even the introduction materials he sent have not had time to read them.

Yang Fan did not directly suggest that the construction of the second ship be placed in the Xiangjiang Shipyard. Without investigation, there would be no right to speak.

Yang Fan did not answer positively, but said: "There are several shipyards in China that are good. You need to investigate and understand them and make a decision after repeated measurements."

The two were talking about the construction of the second ship 054, while Hu Yong once again walked into the East China Sea Ship Design Institute.

Now he was both happy and a little nervous.

What was happy was that Commander Luo was in the Donghai Institute, and it should be in Yang Fan's office. What was nervous was that he was not sure to convince Commander Luo.

What to do?

For the construction of the second ship 054, their Xiangjiang Shipyard is bound to win and cannot lose this construction task again.

While walking towards the office building of Donghai Institute, Hu Yong thought to himself, how should he speak, how to say something when he sees Chief Commander Yang and Commander Luo later.

"Dong, dun, dun!"

There was a knock outside the office door.

Yang Fan and Luo Jianguo were chatting about the second ship 054. When they heard the knock on the door outside, they thought it was Li Zhengjun or someone from the design room below.

Yang Fan said loudly: "Come in."

The office door was pushed open. Yang Fan was surprised to see the person coming. He didn't expect it to be Hu Yong.

Luo Jianguo was also surprised that he actually saw Hu Yong in Yang Fan. You should know that Xiangjiang Shipyard and Donghai City are thousands of miles apart.

"General Manager Hu?"

Luo Jianguo looked surprised and looked at Yang Fan with a little astonishment.

Hu Yong pushed the door and smiled, his face full of humility, "Chief Yang, Commander Luo, I'll disturb you."

You don't hit people with a smile.

The man smiled and had such a good attitude. Of course, he didn't feel angry at all. Yang Fan said enthusiastically: "Mr. Hu, please sit down and taste the coffee here."

Hu Yong hurriedly thanked, "Chief Yang, you are so polite, thank you, thank you."

He sat down on the sofa after saying two "thank you".

All three of them drank coffee.

Soon we talked about the construction of the 054 ship. Hu Yong said: "I really envy the Dongjiang Shipyard. The construction of the first ship has begun to enter the welding stage."

Luo Jianguo smiled and said with satisfaction: "Dongjiang Shipyard is really good, and it didn't disappoint me."

Hu Yong said: "Commander Luo, our Xiangjiang Shipyard is also good, I don't think it is inferior to Dongjiang Shipyard..."

He simply seized the opportunity and introduced the Xiangjiang Shipyard to Yang Fan and Luo Jianguo again.

Such as the history, development history, current scale, strength, hardware conditions, etc. of their shipyard.

The introduction is very detailed!

Although it is not stated that Xiangjiang Shipyard can undertake the construction of the Type 054 missile frigate, the meaning is almost the same.

It is very obvious that Hu Yong introduced in detail that the Xiangjiang Shipyard is obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Yang Fan and Luo Jianguo looked at each other and smiled!

The two of them understood very well.
