A few days later.

An IBM RS6000 UNIX RISC workstation was placed in the shipyard office, with printers and other equipment connected next to it. The entire office has been renovated, with floors laid on the ground, and the windows have been replaced with steel windows with tighter seals. An air conditioner has been placed in a corner against the wall.

Qin Tao was very happy, Qin Baoshan was very painful.

"This thing is too expensive. With the cost of decoration and other expenses, we have invested 100,000 yuan." Qin Baoshan couldn't help but speak.

In his eyes, this is similar to the nature of Song Weize's money being taken away, and it's all wasted.

"Old man, look at your appearance that you have never seen the world." Qin Tao looked at his father with contempt: "Computer design is the direction of future development. Our Mingzhou Shipyard is at the forefront of the times. You should feel proud. It won't take long for the Ship Design Institute to come here to visit. Now I am the only one. When we recruit a group of college students and purchase more than a dozen computers, we can grab the business of their Ship Design Institute."

Qin Baoshan only felt that his son's bragging skills were getting stronger and stronger. His son could make money, but when it was spent, it was like flowing water.

Fortunately, Qin Baoshan has prestige in the Mingzhou Shipyard, so no one will say anything. If we change to another place, we will definitely discuss it.

Qin Tao ignored his father. No matter what computer era he told them, it was useless. It had to be proved by facts that he could probably design the catamaran passenger ship in this computer for a month.

Qin Tao's eyes looked at the computer that he had just purchased.

Specifically, it is not considered a microcomputer in later generations, but should belong to a workstation. It uses Power1 processor. However, this processor is not a separate chip, but several chips are installed on a board to form a complete processor.

Fortunately, it is not large in size. Compared with computers like those cabinets, it is more similar to microcomputers. Its main circuits are placed in a flat chassis. On top of the chassis, a 21-inch monitor for professional drawing is placed, and a light pen for input is also provided next to it.

In the field of professional CAD drawing, a light pen is a common input device. You can use it to draw pictures directly on the screen like a pen. This kind of thing has been found since the 1960s. With the special Pro/Engineer drawing software, designing a catamaran is nothing.

Drop, dop!

At this moment, the sound of motorcycle horns sounded outside, and Liu Minggang rode his Happiness 250 and came directly to the office.

"Ye, this is new equipment, so it's so high-end?" Liu Minggang shouted outside.

"Stop! There are shoe covers at the door. If you come in, put on shoe covers first!" Qin Tao shouted quickly. He looked at the cigarette in Liu Minggang's hand, and the ash fell to the ground, and his face was even more unhappy: "Pinch the cigarette! Throw it into the trash can outside!"

"Little bastard, why are you talking to your Uncle Liu?" Qin Baoshan was a little dissatisfied.

Liu Minggang didn't care at all: "Taozi is right, but I won't go in, I'm just outside."

Liu Minggang now dared not act like an elder. He admired Qin Tao very much. He had signed a contract with the islanders, and the equipment of the islanders was already halfway. When the equipment was transported here, his steel factory would also take a new level.

All of this is Qin Tao's credit. Liu Minggang was extremely grateful in his heart. How could he feel Qin Tao's offense? Besides, computers seem to be noble.

Standing in the corridor, Liu Minggang looked at the dock from afar and said, "Now, the dredger has been almost dismantled. Next, it's this submarine's turn? Taozi, I heard that this submarine is made of more steel!"

"Of course, you can use a piece of submarine steel to make a kitchen knife, and you don't need to grind it for ten years. You can chop the steel bars produced in your factory and break them as soon as they are chopped, and you won't be curled at all." Qin Tao said.

This is really not bragging. This kind of steel has very high strength, exceeding any steel produced by domestic steel mills.

"Is that true?" Qin Baoshan was a little disbelieved.

"Old man, you have a bad attitude. You are obviously not educated and you are not humbly studying." Qin Tao criticized the old man while making pictures on the computer: "Uncle Liu is better than you, and I know that this submarine uses good steel."

"Taozi, would you waste these steels be put into our steelmaking furnace?" Liu Minggang continued to say to Qin Tao: "If our steel factory opened a new production line and directly made these steels into kitchen knives, what do you think?"

"Not good." Qin Tao answered immediately.

“Why?”

"If we want to make kitchen knives, then our shipyard is fine. We also have various machining equipment. We built and sold ourselves. Why do we have to go through your hands?" Qin Tao said.

Liu Minggang was a little embarrassed.

"Since you are sold to you, it is to melt it into molten iron, and then resmel it into steel for us to use in the shipyard. Uncle Liu, if you don't do your job and always think about those evil ways, then our business..."

"Uncle Liu is wrong, isn't it okay if Uncle Liu is wrong? Uncle Liu is here to discuss it with you?" Liu Minggang smiled all over his face.

Qin Baoshan, who was beside him, wanted to slap his beard and stare. Are you a little bastard, so he is so arrogant?

Let me teach you a lesson first, and then Director Liu a lesson, so big or small!

"Uncle Liu, these steels are very important. After entering your steelmaking furnace and smelting, we will use them to make catamarans. In the future, our Mingzhou Shipyard plans to take this as the main business, so you have to be more careful." Qin Tao continued to criticize: "Hold a group of professional steelmaking masters to operate steel plate hot rolling equipment. This matter cannot be delayed."

"What?" Qin Baoshan was stunned: "Isn't the catamaran we are going to build for civilian purposes? Can we use such good steel?"

Qin Tao brought the submarine over. The pressure hull of the submarine is high-strength steel. Even if the performance of the steel decreases after the furnace is restored, it is far beyond that of ordinary civilian ship steel.

Now, it is a waste for Qin Tao to use this steel to build a catamaran!

Qin Tao shook his head: "Old man, I told you to study hard. I have said a lot about the benefits of catamarans. Do you know the shortcomings of catamarans?"

"Disadvantages, what are the disadvantages?"

"The strength of the catamaran is not high. Its ability to resist bad weather at sea is very poor. Therefore, by increasing the steel standards for building ships, we can greatly increase the strength of the catamaran. Our Mingzhou Shipyard must make our own brand. If there is no one shot, it will cause any bad effects, then our shipyard will be hard to save."

Qin Baoshan thought about it.

Over there, Liu Minggang was still frowning: "Yes, I have been thinking about this recently. I want to invite a few masters from Huating No. 1 Iron and Steel Factory, but no matter how high the salary is, people will not come!"

"What's the problem with this? I'll give you an idea!"
