"What happened? Why did you react so violently?" Qin Tao asked curiously when he saw Pu Douxuan regaining his composure.

"President Qin, after the Minsk arrived at our port, we discovered that five of the eight boilers were broken." Pu Douxuan said, "This warship is useless!"

"What? The boilers are all broken?" Qin Tao said: "How is this possible? Isn't that warship just decommissioned? Wait!"

Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "Ah San fell in love with the Minsk at first, and then changed to the Kiev. Could it be that they knew that the boiler was broken? It's too much. The boiler was broken, and they didn't tell the news.

Let it out, it’s too much, it’s too much!”

Who to scold?

Lao Maozi?

It's useless to scold Lao Maozi! After all, Lao Maozi made it clear at the time that he was going to dismantle the scrap metal and sell it. They bid a high price, which was voluntary and not forced.

I had to find someone to vent to, so Ah San was dragged out like this.

Ah San must have known, otherwise why would they have changed warships midway?

"Mr. Qin, you don't know?"

"How did I know? If I knew, why would I bid? Our base price is just over 40 million. Who would have thought that you quoted a price of 80 million. We have no choice but to leave empty-handed.

"Qin Tao was still frightened: "Fortunately, we didn't win the bid at the beginning. If it reaches 40 million and you stop shouting, then this thing will fall into our hands."

Although it is claimed to be scrap metal, everyone knows what it is actually used for!

Qin Tao said this, which dispelled Pu Douxuan's concerns. Yes, if he knew that the boiler was broken, then there was no need for Mr. Qin to bid. If their Dazhou Company stopped bidding, it would fall into Qin Tao's hands.

.

After all, even if Qin Tao has a relationship with people from the Pacific Fleet, it is impossible for him to be too close. How could Qin Tao know such a level of secret?

Thinking of this, Pu Douxuan was speechless. Their company spent a high price of 80 million to buy such a product, and this time it suffered a big loss.

"However, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Qin Tao continued: "Although the boiler is broken, it will definitely hurt your muscles and bones, but there is still no problem in repairing it. Just cut the steel plate and remove the broken boiler.

Just change it."

Change? You put it simply! Pu Douxuan felt extremely aggrieved: "Mr. Qin, although our shipbuilding industry in Kimchi Country is developed, the main marine main engines are diesel engines and gas turbines. We rarely use boilers, and we cannot produce the same domestically.

model of boiler.”

Both oil tankers and cargo ships have begun to use diesel engines as the mainstay. Even if there are boilers, they use low-power boilers. They are not at the same level as the boilers needed on aircraft carriers.

Lao Maozi's heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers, whether they are Kiev-class or Ku-class ships, all use the same type of KBG-4 boiler. This is the pinnacle of marine steam power in the Soviet era. If it burns at full power, it can boil for an hour.

Can generate 115 tons of high-pressure steam.

In this way, the eight boilers produce more than 900 tons per hour, which is similar to the steam burned in the Nimitz nuclear reactor boiler.

It is simply impossible for Kimchi Country to build a boiler of this level.

"Well, then we can only order from Lao Maozi." Qin Tao said: "It is estimated that only Lao Maozi in the world can produce this kind of boiler. Now their domestic companies are not doing well. If they have orders, then

It’s something you can only dream of.”

"Order with Lao Maozi?" Pu Douxuan thought about Qin Tao's words seriously. He had to say that this was really a solution to the problem. Since the boiler exploded, it would be better to reorder the boiler, but...

"If we order five boilers at once, will it make Lao Maozi suspicious?" Pu Douxuan became alert again.

When the warships were sold, Lao Maozi made it clear that they were required to be dismantled and sold for scrap metal. Five boilers were blown up inside. Lao Maozi must have known about it. When they went to order the boilers, Lao Maozi would soon think of the use of the boilers.

ah.

How can Lao Maozi's Pacific Fleet bear to see the Minsk they just sold become the flagship of the Kimchi Nation? Just thinking about it is disgusting enough, so Lao Maozi must object.

"This is easy, you can entrust me with the ordering task." Qin Tao said: "I have connections, so go directly to Lao Maozi's boiler factory to place an order. Even if the Pacific Fleet protests, it will be useless. The boiler factory has to survive.

"

Entrust it to Qin Tao?

A trace of hesitation flashed in Pu Douxuan's eyes.

"Of course, for me, this is just a help. If you have any concerns, forget it. I also see it because of our close cooperation in the output of natural gas ship technology, and because you bid for the Minsk and helped our group

Recover the loss, otherwise, I won’t have to wade into muddy waters.”

Pu Douxuan swallowed and said: "Okay, I will report to the company immediately. If purchased, how much will these boilers cost?"

"I'm not sure. Two million should be fine."

"okay."

Pu Dou

In this way, we can still make a deal, and the two parties are still on good terms. How did they get into a quarrel at that time?

Thinking of this, Cong Ju smiled bitterly: "Mr. Qin, it seems that I still have a lot to learn! I didn't even find out about the two million business."

"You're a technical person, so it's normal for you not to think of this. However, you seem to have misunderstood. What I just said is two million for a boiler. If they buy five, that's ten million."

Cong Ju opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Tao. Did you understand wrong? You just deliberately misled me. You are too cruel. You want to defraud others of 10 million!

When Pu Douxuan went to report, it would take time for the other party to respond. After all, the other party had to hold a meeting to discuss whether they should have the heart to tear down the scrap metal or spend money to repair it. If they were wrangling, it could take ten days and a half.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, this matter is over now, let's consider the next development of our shipyard." Qin Tao said: "Have you contacted the French GTT company?"

"We have already been contacted. The other party welcomes us and can go over to negotiate at any time. However, Mr. Qin, their conditions are too harsh. Do we need to introduce their system? After all, the Moss tanks we manufacture now can work normally.

The operational efficiency is pretty good.”

"Of course, technology is constantly developing, and the MOSS tank system will be eliminated. If we cannot build membrane-type natural gas ships, we will suffer in this aspect in the future. By the way, what about the steel plant?

, has Yinwa Steel been manufactured?”

If you want to build a membrane-type natural gas ship, you must use Yinwa steel. If all this special steel is imported, it will be a huge investment. Therefore, Qin Tao has already started to make plans for Mingzhou Steel.

The factory has developed Yinwa steel.

I just don't know what the situation is now.

"I'm not too sure about this. You'd better go and investigate in person." Cong Ju said: "Mr. Qin, I still think that if we introduce technology from the French, we will become working for the French, and we will make a lot of profits.

They were all taken away by the French. Even if we use the Invar steel produced by ourselves, we can only make hard money."

Cong Ju still thinks it’s not a good deal.

Qin Tao smiled: "Sister Cong Ju, to be honest with you, we introduced technology and built a ship. Then, we invented a new fence system and threw away the French patent. We just let them in.

This tuition fee still has to be paid.”

With such huge profits from natural gas ships, how could Qin Tao allow the French to make a big profit? His plan is huge, introducing French technology, establishing his own technical team, gaining recognition from users, and then leaving the French behind and going it alone!

Cong Ju suddenly realized that she was right. When had Mr. Qin ever done anything that caused him to suffer a loss? It doesn’t matter if he took advantage of it or not!

"You stay here and work hard, arrange the work for the recent period, and then take a group of old welders to go to the French this time. If the agreement is reached, we will directly train a group of our outstanding welders with them and get

Get the G pass and come back.”

Most natural gas ships are welded automatically, but a few parts still require manual welding, which requires a group of excellent welders.

Cong Ju nodded, and then thought of something: "Mr. Qin, there are many skilled welders among those old men. Do you want to choose from them?"

Lao Maozi?

Too many things have happened recently. Qin Tao has been busy, but there are still many things that he has not taken care of. For example, the thousands of skilled workers who were tricked from Lao Maozi. The joining of those workers has greatly eased the situation in Mingzhou.

The shipyard's labor shortage allowed them to build various ships in an orderly manner without having to transfer manpower back and forth.

The skills of some of the workers are still very good, and Cong Ju is also very satisfied. Now she is going to train welders, and maybe she can choose a few from them.

Qin Tao thought about it for a moment, then shook his head: "No need. It's not long enough, and their loyalty is not enough."

It has only been a few months, and Lao Maozi has just adapted to the life here. Just let them work step by step. The opportunity for further study cannot be left to them.

Let’s wait for a few years before they are fully integrated into Mingzhou.

The Mercedes-Benz Big G left the shipyard and went straight to the Mingzhou Steel Plant.

The tall chimneys are constantly emitting green smoke. In the open space of the steel plant, iron ore imported from Australia is piled up. The scrap iron in the past has been almost consumed. However, by the time the Black Sea Shipyard arrives,

When the scrap steel from the dismantled nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is shipped over, the scrap steel will pile up again. (It seems that the shipping time was underestimated earlier, so this time we will let these things drift on the sea for a while longer.)

On one side of the steel plant, a new three-story building was built. This is the research institute specially established by the steel plant.

"Mr. Qin, you are a busy man, you are back." After seeing Qin Tao, Zhang Jinxi immediately ran over to say hello excitedly.

"Yeah, I've been a little busy lately. A few months ago, I bought 30,000 tons of scrap steel from the Black Sea Shipyard. Most of the steel is high-strength. After you get it, you still smelt it separately. There may be some

Excellent steel with a yield strength of 700 to 800 MPa.”

"Is it the steel from the Ulyanovsk? We are all looking forward to it." Mr. Zhou also came over.

Although Qin Tao hasn't told them the news yet, they can guess some things from watching the news.

This is the first time they have come into contact with aircraft carrier steel!

"Yes, especially the deck steel above, we need to study the ingredients inside and develop steel with the same performance." Qin Tao said, "This is the sacred mission given to us by history."

We will definitely build aircraft carriers in the future. Do we have to be like Third Brother and buy steel from Lao Maozi?

Of course not, domestically produced aircraft carriers must be able to produce steel themselves! Qin Tao helped Makarov dispose of the scraps and get the scrap steel back for his own research and then imitate steel plates with the same performance.
