By the time Qin Tao walked to the dock, Williams was already searching for Qin Tao everywhere. He was so happy to see Qin Tao coming.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin! We have finally delivered the goods to your port. Can we pay us another two million US dollars?"

"Of course, but you have to wait until all these goods are unloaded, and there are quite a few." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at the person behind Williams: "Where is Jims?"

Jims is a hoisting company. He is not only responsible for disassembly, but also for installation. After all, whoever disassembles will install it, so that it will be easy.

"Jims' lifting company has gone bankrupt," said Williams. "Now the one who is responsible for lifting is the most famous PSC heavy lifting company in our country. Let me introduce to you, Mr. George, is the engineer in charge of this installation."

"Welcome, Mr. George, but I want to tell you in advance that the disassembly and assembly of the entire gantry crane is all under Mr. Williams. You signed a contract with him and asked for how much installation funds are required. We don't care. We just waited for the safety to finish and send the last final payment to Williams. Do you understand?"

George nodded: "Of course I understand that the installation will not be too big. We will complete the installation in three months."

What is the problem with this? The big problem during dismantling is because the gantry crane spans a river, which is the biggest problem. I didn’t know what the shipyard was thinking at the beginning, so I saved the dock and used the river directly. What was the result? It caused a terrible installation problem.

There will be no such trouble now, because the dock here has not been built yet, so the gantry crane is installed first. This installation method is too simple and it is not enough for them to use a million.

Anyway, food and accommodation are all here, so I will take a sailboat, which means I just need to spend personal labor and a ticket to go back.

"I understand that we will definitely complete the task on time, and we also brought special installation tools." When it comes to this, George talked endlessly.

They are the real professional heavy lifting company. That Jims is just a layman. He thought he could do it with some hydraulic jacks, but he didn't know how to use his brain at all.

Qin Tao praised the close friendship between the two sides and so on for more than half an hour before his stomach started to growl.

After all, it was early in the morning. Qin Tao wanted to eat something good and then get some rest. However, when he saw two trucks dragging two special gas tanks, he knew that the next game had begun.

So Qin Tao took a step and walked towards the location where the natural gas ship was parked.

Originally, the pre-cooling of natural gas ships should have been carried out at the LNG output station or receiving station, but there is no such thing in China.

Although there is also natural gas in China, it is produced and sold by itself and has not been imported from the outside world.

In 1961, the natural gas industry began to exist in China, but at that time it was just to extract the helium in it. As an industrial purpose, natural gas was a by-product and it was a waste to directly discharge it, so I started to study it.

At that time, I built a car that burned natural gas and thought it was pretty good. However, after operating for a few years, due to insufficient safety measures, the LNG tank of the car exploded. I stopped like this for several years. Although I was still using natural gas as fuel, they were all CNG and did not dare to try LNG again. It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that it began to develop gradually.

These two trucks were driven from the north, where there were specialized LNG storage tanks. If you don’t do this, the ship could only be driven to other countries to test. If you pass, it would be fine. If you fail, you have to drive back and rework.

At present, this method is the most suitable. You don’t need to fill it up. As long as you can fill it up, cool it to the corresponding temperature, and observe it.

This was a grand moment, so the owner also came, and François stood on the dock, accompanied by Cong Ju and others.

At this time, Francois was still watching the lively unloading scene of the gantry crane over there. He said with some emotion: "Your shipyard has developed too fast. With a 100,000-ton ship platform, it is about to have a gantry crane."

"Yes, our shipyard is constantly developing, so it is wisest for you to choose our shipyard. In the future, this ship will become your most profitable one." At this time, Qin Tao had already come over and spoke.

After seeing Qin Tao, François was very happy: "Mr. Qin, I finally saw you. When our ship was launched, we didn't see you."

"I'm sorry, I didn't attend the launch ceremony, but please rest assured that we attach great importance to natural gas ships and hope that your ship can make us famous and let more owners come to us to order."

"Yes, as long as there is no problem with pre-cooling of MOSS tanks, we will put it into operation. Now, the whole world is very optimistic about natural gas, such a clean energy, and there is a great demand for this energy, and the prospects for this kind of ship are very good."

Under the premise that humans have only one home, many people have begun to pay attention to environmental protection issues, which is even more trendy in Europe. Therefore, coal and oil, energy sources that can cause air pollution, have begun to be boycotted, and the demand for natural gas is getting higher and higher.

Of course, it will take several years for China. After all, let’s first develop the economy. People are too poor to starve and care about what the air is not fresh and the water flow is polluted.

While talking, the two cars drove to the port and everyone became nervous.

"Let's go up the bridge," François said.

The huge hull is in front of five big balls, and the bridge is at the end. From above, you can clearly see the front, which is much better than the view on the dock.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At the same time, you can also direct pre-cooling operations on the bridge.

"Be careful, prepare to inject nitrogen!"

If you can't come up, you will inject natural gas. The first step is to use nitrogen to empty the air in the pipeline and five spherical tanks. After all, nitrogen is an inert gas and is not prone to danger. If you inject natural gas directly into it, it will be mixed with the air. There is oxygen in the air. If there is a small Mars, it will be over.

The pipe valves were opened by solenoid valves installed in the explosion-proof box, and gurgling nitrogen began to pour into the pipe, and then followed the pipe to the gas tank.

In the 1990s, the operation of ships also became automated. All of these valves were imported goods and were not yet produced in China. Of course, there are also manual control valves that can be manually operated once they encounter a fault.

However, it is best not to happen in that case, and no one wants their ship to go down.

"Nitrogen injection is complete!"

"Note that the valve of tank No. 1 is kept open, and other tanks are closed, and prepare to inject liquefied natural gas!"

The tank behind a truck has been connected through the pipeline between the pipeline and the liquefied gas boat. Looking down from the bridge, you can see that when the staff opened the tank, it can be seen that the temperature of the surrounding air is rapidly decreasing, and the valve at the connection of the pipeline is quickly covered with a layer of frost, and the thickness of the frost is still increasing rapidly.

The liquefied natural gas at a temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero flowed into the pipeline of the natural gas ship and then entered the first liquefied gas tank.

Squeak, squeak! The sound of metal cooling and shrinking sounded. On the liquefied gas ship, the sound spreads rapidly through steel, and then enters the bridge and into everyone's ears.

Everyone's expressions became nervous, and only Qin Tao was still talking and laughing: "Mr. François, is this voice very beautiful?"

François did not answer Qin Tao's words, and he was also a little nervous at this moment.

After all, this is the first liquefied gas ship at the Mingzhou Shipyard. Even if he brought people in advance and inspected the welded MOSS tanks, there was no problem in theory, but he was still nervous.

If the experiment is successful, then everything will be happy. If the experiment fails, it means that the shipping company's subsequent profit plan will be greatly affected.

He didn't want any accidents.

Finally, the sound stopped.

"Note, temporarily close the valve and check the situation of tank No. 1!" François shouted.

Several experienced engineers who specialize in accepting natural gas boats walked towards the No. 1 tank covered by steel shells. They carefully checked it and then reported: "The No. 1 tank is in normal condition!"

This time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the second tank, the third tank, and five tanks were all filled with liquefied natural gas, and the jars transported by the two trucks were completely empty. Although these could not fill up the five jars at all, and even one jar could not fill up, each jar was just filled with a bottom, just like drinking, moistening your throat, and it had not officially begun.

However, there is no problem with the temperature. Aluminum alloy can easily conduct temperature (in fact, it should be called heat). As long as the cold liquefied natural gas is poured in, the entire aluminum alloy can body will quickly drop to more than 100 degrees. If the can body is not qualified, various problems may occur, such as tiny cracks. At that time, white fog will appear outside the can body, which can be easily checked by people.

(I have checked a lot of information, and it seems that this is the process. If I write it wrong, please give me some advice.)

"Mr. Francisva, all five MOSS tanks have been inspected. They are in good condition. The Mingzhou Shipyard's technology is very good!" The engineer in charge of the ship inspection said to Francis, and handed a survey report with his name in front of Francis.

"Very good, very good." François was very happy: "The shipbuilding technology in the East is the best, I trust it! We will settle the final payment of the ship quickly. As long as we go through a formal operation and no accidents occur, we will order two more natural gas ships of the same! I hope you will give priority to our orders!"

"Of course, Mr. Francois, in our words, you are the first to try it out. We thank you for your trust and support. We promise that as long as you order the same type of ship within three months, we will not increase the price."

It is impossible to reduce prices. Not increasing prices is enough to save face. As long as this natural gas ship operates normally, there will be many customers coming in the future. Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group will consider how to expand production capacity and there will definitely be no shortage of orders.

François nodded: "We will make a decision as soon as possible. Now, we hope we can start the engine and do other tests."

"Of course, but I have to go down. Today, we have a launch ceremony for a river and sea boat." Qin Tao said.

At this time, the Chunjianghai cargo ship was already full of colorful flags and fluttering in the wind. Next to the ship, Qin Baoshan and Zhao Changshui and others were smiling, looking at the leaders who came to attend the launch ceremony.

The leaders of the Mingzhou Municipal Government have come long ago, but there is no chance for them to show off because more leaders have come.

There were leaders of the Yangtze River Shipping Management Office, leaders of China Shipbuilding, and even reporters from the capital's TV station! Zhang Wei, the owner of this freighter, could only stand aside and chat with these people.

When Qin Tao came over, these people immediately surrounded him.

"Mr. Qin, you are really a busy person."

"That's right, I haven't eaten a bite from morning until now." Qin Tao touched his stomach: "Listen, my stomach has been roaring."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ling appeared beside him, holding a lunch box in her hand: "Mr. Qin, please eat something quickly, don't be hungry."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Mr. Qin, the feeling of getting married is different, right? How about having a wife who knows the cold and considerately knows the cold and the cold, what about it?" A leader began to joke.

"That's right, I heard that you were married on a trip. We wanted to join in the fun, but we didn't do it."

There were drops of sweat on Zhao Ling's forehead. Obviously, she had just woken up and came to deliver food to Qin Tao.

Qin Tao reached out and wiped the sweat from his wife's forehead. This scene made others envious.

"You guys are all full of beards and even teased us, a young couple who just got married." Qin Tao joked with the people around him: "Why, you see that we are so loving and want our wife?"

Qin Baoshan croaked there and drooped his face. Little bastard, how are you talking? All the leaders present!

Qin Tao is not afraid. Even if he talks to Wu Shengli, he would occasionally make jokes. What else can I be afraid of when talking to these people?

However, Qin Baoshan didn't speak up. After all, Qin Tao was the boss and his superior. In front of so many leaders, Qin Baoshan had to give his son some face.

Qin Tao said, while eating the fried buns quickly. When he put a lunch box of fried buns into his mouth, Zhao Ling magically took out a kettle, unscrewed the lid, and there was still heat inside.

Qin Tao had enough food and drank, looked at his watch: "Well, the time is just right, and the launch ceremony can begin. By the way, who will come to this ceremony?"

Of course, it is the biggest leader present!

Seeing everyone looking at him, the leader said with a smile: "We would just make a unique ceremony for this ceremony. We asked the builder of this ship, an ordinary welder on the production line, to smash the bottle. How about it? The working people are the most honorable!"

This is something that has to appear in front of the people of the whole country in front of the camera! In such a grand ceremony, should an ordinary welder smash the bottle?

Everyone was shocked, and Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you for your support to our working people, that, Zhang Yang, come here!"

So, Zhang Yang, who was watching the fun in the crowd outside, turned red: "Me? I can't do it."

"Come here, this is an order."

As other workers pushed, Zhang Yang walked out: "If the bottle cannot be broken, your salary will be deducted."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, if we can't even do this little work well, we will be laughed at?"

The champagne bottle flew towards the bow of the boat, and the foam splashed, and everyone applauded warmly.

"Now, please speak to us by the leader."
