Chapter 802: Salvage Submarine(2/2)
The new episode of Zhang Zhongshuo's program begins with a salvage scene shot by a helicopter. It includes two crane ships, a working mother ship, and a cargo ship. It looks very impressive.
"Dear viewers, the footage you just saw is the footage of the salvage site captured by our helicopter. We can see that the salvage work has begun, but we don't know what is happening inside. Now, we have invited domestic expert Xu
Lao, he has been responsible for salvaging many sunken ships on the seabed and has rich experience. Now, let him analyze it for us."
"Hello everyone, in the eyes of ordinary people, salvage means using a crane to lift things from the seabed. In fact, it is very complicated. After all, the things below are very big, weighing thousands of tons, and require many slings. These
When the sling is impacted by ocean currents in seawater, uneven stress may occur. Of course, the most critical thing is the specific condition of the sunken ship on the seabed." Mr. Xu easily entered the role and followed the content prepared in advance.
.
"It is said that the submarine Farncombe sank this time because the bow ballast tank failed, which caused the stern ballast tank to be emptied, the stern of the boat to rise, and the bow to sink. If it falls into the water like this, the situation is probably not optimistic." Zhang
Zhong said.
"Yes, it is said that images have been taken underwater. The submarine is almost perpendicular to the seabed and plunges vertically. The bow of the submarine is about one or two meters deep into the seabed. Therefore, this is the most difficult of all salvage tasks.
Of course, we don’t have to be afraid, there are ways to deal with this method.”
"any solution?"
"Undersea excavator." Mr. Xu said: "Develop a special wide-track excavator with all-electric propulsion. It can be connected to the mother ship at sea through cables, and it can also use the power of its own battery. With this kind of excavator,
First dig out the mud around the bow of the boat."
The best way to get the submarine out is to dig out the surrounding mud, and dredging is, of course, the job of an excavator.
Ordinary excavators generally work on the ground. Excavators that work in rivers are equipped with particularly wide tracks, which can move freely in the mud. However, when it comes to submersible excavators, most people still
I have never heard of it, let alone an excavator that can dive below three thousand meters.
"Mr. Xu, can there be such a thing?"
"Yes, we are currently developing it for submarine infrastructure. If we want to be a big country in infrastructure, we must have a variety of advanced machinery. We are already pre-researching this product. What we need now is funds. If
If someone invests a lot of money in us, we can do it within half a year."
Made it within half a year? The day lilies are already cold!
Therefore, even if they heard that Dongfang was researching this kind of equipment, people who were salvaging submarines would not be able to use it.
Sorlot was under a lot of pressure.
"We found some stress points based on the mechanical condition of the hull. Next, we need to install cables on these stress points to try to drag the submarine up at once." Sorlot said to Michael: "This
It should be the safest plan.”
"Are you sure? Will the submarine be towed into two pieces during towing?"
"If something like that really happens, then I can't help it." Sorlot said: "We have to try. If we don't try, how will we know."
"There is no way? You are the most professional salvage team, how come you have no way?" Michael shouted angrily.
"We don't have an underwater excavator, that thing is a joke!"
"You must ensure that nothing goes wrong, otherwise I will not sign a formal salvage order."
"Then we can only say goodbye." Sorlot said: "But don't try to waste our salvage fees. We will sue you in the International Court of Justice."
Cowell was there watching the conflict between the two people, and was a little anxious: "How about, Mr. Michael, we ask Boa Company to try to salvage it. If there is an accident in the middle, we stop quickly. As long as we are careful, we should be able to eliminate the danger."
Keep it to a minimum.”
"Okay." Michael could only nod: "You must be careful! We need to salvage the submarine completely, we don't want an accident!"
"We will. By the way, if the following situation analysis is correct, the remains of those unlucky sailors should be in the front cabin, right?"
"Why do you ask this? We don't just want the front cabin, we want the whole one. The rear cabin is also very important, because the propeller at the back is leaking. We have to fish it out and show the Swedes that the submarine they built is leaking. They
We need to compensate for our losses, and only if they compensate for our losses will we have money to pay you for the salvage costs, do you understand?"
Looking at the roaring Michael, Sorlot felt that he had been cheated. The other party had no money at all and actually hired his own company to salvage it. It seemed that even if the salvage was successful, it would be difficult to collect accounts in the future, and he might have to litigate.
We should have let them settle the accounts first and then go out on our own. At that time, we were a little too anxious to compete with Germany.
Sorlot felt a little helpless in his heart, but he was already here and had set up a battle formation. No matter what, he had to salvage it first.
A few days later, the salvage officially began.
The two floating cranes released long cables deep into the seabed. It took several hours just to lower the cables. Then, the underwater robots did a lot of work and hung the cables that fixed the submarine on the hooks.
While they were doing all this, there were always onlookers nearby. There was no way around it. In theory, this was really the territory of the Orientals. Now, the Oriental has dispatched another 054 and has been hanging around here. However, the other party is very
He restrained himself and did not get too close, for fear that they would fail in salvage and be unjustly watching the fun.
On Shuangsha Island, Qin Tao was also listening to the progress here.
"They used a longitudinal salvage plan and arranged three sets of steel cables on the submarine, namely the front, middle and rear. These steel cables are of different lengths, but they can be fixed on the hook just right."
"Are they planning to salvage the water vertically?" Qin Tao was also curious.
"Probably not. They only plan to pull the submarine out vertically, then lay it flat on the seabed, readjust the length of the steel cable, and fish it out of the water horizontally."
"It turns out they just planned to pull out the carrots." Qin Tao said, "I guess they must pull them off."
"This mainly depends on the strength. If you are careful..."
Seeing Zhao Ling making various inferences, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but said: "In recent days, our Jiaolong has been wandering outside for a long time, so the submarine will definitely break from the middle."
Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Tao: "Has everything been arranged?"
"Zhengyang, what are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will transfer you somewhere else, separate you from Xiaoqian, and work as a monk every day. By the way, have you sown the fields every night?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Ling blushed, what are you talking about?
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir." Qin Tao said: "We are discussing important matters, what's wrong? What are you thinking? Why are you blushing?"
"Nicholas has called several times recently and wants to ask you to visit him when you have time."
"Nicholas? It's not easy for this old friend to still remember me. When this matter is over, we will go...forget it, let's go now, maybe there will be fun."
As a spectator, Qin Tao can point out the country. The people salvaging there do not have the leisure time like him, and everyone is very nervous.
"When lifting, you must pay attention to the balance on both sides. We have the most experienced veterans who can control all this. Now, I hope God will bless you." Sollot said: "Salvage begins!"
The two floating cranes roared, and the thick cables rose slowly. It was visible to the naked eye that they were slowly tightening and tightening. The underwater robot was also monitoring all this vigilantly. It looked at every cable below.
A prompt will be given at any time to see if the cable has been tightened.
"It's all tight!"
"Start lifting!"
The cable creaked and began to exert force. The pulley supporting the cable on the floating crane also began to sink under the huge pulling force.
"Today's weather is quite good. If the sea is too rough, we will stop operations," Sollot said.
Crunch, crunch!
"The bow is already loosening!"
"The bow of the boat is slowly leaving the mud!"
A piece of good news came and everyone became excited.
marvelous!
They have seen the glimmer of hope!
Crunch!
There were still sounds under the water, which seemed normal. The images sent back by the underwater robot satisfied them: "The bow of the boat is being pulled out!"
"The bow is about to leave the mud!"
"Great, now get ready to put the submarine down!"
However, the Rambitz, which was hoisted on top, suddenly discovered something was wrong.
"The stress on the cable seems to be reducing!"
"Has the submarine been pulled out?"
"No, it seems that the cable has completely loosened!"
Chapter completed!
