Although I don’t know why the boss doesn’t take nearly one billion dollars seriously, the project manager still asked the second problem.

"Gas turbine. Boss!" The project manager said helplessly: "Rolls-Royce's MT30 marine gas turbine is the latest production and is the most suitable in terms of power. But boss, you also know that this latest gas turbine is specially designed for military ships, and their blockade of China is expected to be very difficult to use this gas turbine."

"This is indeed a trouble." Guo Tailai nodded while touching his chin when he heard this.

The MT30, which will be officially established this year, will be the driving force of many warships in the future. It is not so easy for China to use the latest technology. Before, Guo Tailai only mentioned this, because the latest marine gas turbine collected by the intelligence collection team contained semi-public information of the MT30, so Guo Tailai also thought it was appropriate and proposed to use this model, which was too simple to think about the problem.

"We have an alternative, boss!" The project manager saw that the boss agreed with him and immediately stated a remedial plan. As a designer, of course, he must have the ability to help the boss solve problems. Not only do he have to find problems, but also solve problems.

"What plan?" Guo Tailai asked back.

"The general-powered lm2500+ gas turbine was finalized in 1998 and has a power of 40,500 horsepower, which is close to 30 megawatts. Although it is smaller than the MT30 power, it should be sufficient." The project manager said quickly: "The lm2500 series gas turbines are widely used and are used on civilian ships, so it should not be difficult to buy them."

It can be seen that the project team has put in a lot of hard work for this. They not only have the design plan for mt30, but also the design plan for lm2500, but also helped Guo Tailai consider the difficulty of obtaining, which was quite perfect.

Guo Tailai was very satisfied with the project team's approach and designed it according to the requirements, but he found that there were difficulties and took the initiative to find an alternative solution, giving full play to his subjective initiative, which was very good!

"Good job!" Guo Tailai gave a thumbs up to the project manager and praised it, and then asked a little joke: "Is there any solution to reduce costs? Well, the solution to the first problem just now."

"Yes!" What surprised Guo Tailai was that the project manager nodded with certainty: "Swap super aluminum and carbon fiber into ordinary marine steel, and the other materials remain unchanged. Although the overall tonnage will increase by several thousand tons, the size will not change, the luxury will not change, and the cost will decrease on a large scale. According to our calculations, removing these materials can effectively reduce the cost of 100 million to 150 million US dollars."

"Increasing the tonnage will also significantly reduce the maximum speed, right?" Guo Tailai asked immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, boss!" The project manager shrugged helplessly. There was no way, he was not a god, so he could only admit with regret: "There is no way, the power is smaller but the tonnage increases, which will definitely reduce the maximum speed, and the fuel consumption of daily cruise will be relatively large."

The maximum speed has been reduced, but the cost reduction of US$100 million to US$150 million is real. The savings alone are enough to build a few yachts of about 100 meters.

"So, what's your choice?" Guo Tailai asked at the project manager with a smile: "If it were you, which solution would you use?"

"From the perspective of me, as a designer, I certainly like the most perfect and expensive solution." The project manager heard the boss ask about his choice, but he was not polite and directly expressed his thoughts: "But my opinion is not important. The yacht belongs to the boss. Your opinion is the most important one."

"Hahaha!" Guo Tailai laughed out loud as he heard this: "Mr. Mi, I like him! A smart person!"

Mi Feifei nodded, the project manager was very clear, knew his identity, and was very smart.

"But, boss, which one are you planning to choose?" Mi Feifei was also curious about Guo Tailai's choice. She was not worried about money. Just on the engine, would Guo Tailai choose the next-speed engine?

"I have to ask!" Guo Tailai was not sure that he could get mt30, he had to ask in detail.

I picked up the phone and was about to call, but suddenly realized that it was probably still three o'clock in the middle of the night in London. Guo Tailai decided to wait. If you want to find someone to help, you can't harass others in the middle of the night.

But Guo Tailai still called another phone number first. The first thing was to confirm whether the order for super aluminum and carbon fiber could be completed. These materials were all domestic manufacturers, and they were all related to Guo Tailai. Just ask Zhao Xiangbei directly.

"Six thousand tons of super aluminum? And one thousand tons of t700 carbon fiber?" Zhao Xiangbei was surprised when he received the call: "When should I do it?"

After learning that it was half a year, Zhao Xiangbei made it clear that there was no problem. The carbon fiber was fine. Although the super aluminum material had excellent performance, the military commanded a small number of samples for experiments in a short period of time, and there would not be a large number of orders. Although Guo Tailai's order was not large, it was just open.

I had lunch in the middle. In the afternoon, Guo Tailai put forward a few more modification suggestions. The most important one is to change the theater into a giant screen. This requires changes to the theater room, and it will also affect the surrounding design, so it will take some time to modify it. This is impossible. When Guo Tailai placed an order, he had not refined it to the theater part. The designers designed it according to ordinary theaters. Now Guo Tailai requires support for the IMAX giant screen, so there must be some changes.

There are not many other modifications. The most important thing is the structural design, which can ensure sufficient safety and withstand the high speed of such a large ship, which is quite difficult.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Guo Tailai called London.

"Charles!" Guo Tailai's acquaintance in London must have looked for Charles. Although Rolls-Royce has acquaintances, the Rolls-Royce, which produces cars, and Rolls-Royce, which produces aircraft engines, seem to have been separated. Both sides can speak, but it is not as good as Charles's speaking.

"I designed the largest yacht in the world, you should know this." Guo Tailai didn't hesitate to Charles, and came up and said his thoughts directly: "My yacht wants to use the latest MT30 marine gas turbine from Rolls."

Guo Tailai didn't ask if it was OK, he just said that he wanted to use it. If it could be done, it would be up to Charles to choose.

"Are you kidding?" Charles couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard Guo Tailai's words: "That is Rolls-Royce's latest gas turbine, which is used on warships."

"Believe me, a super yacht of 15,000 tons, with high speed, the world's largest." Guo Tailai was very serious and bewitched: "Is there any better advertising effect than this? Consider that I am a civilian ship and has no military purpose."
