Mingzhou Shipyard.

Regardless of whether Mr. Qin is here or not, the place can operate step by step and operate normally. Although the old factory director Qin Baoshan still comes here to inspect every day, he just walks around and has a look. He is not responsible for specific projects. Each ship has a dedicated person.

Responsible, no matter whether the customer sends a representative or not, we can absolutely guarantee the quality.

The 075 aircraft carrier was built in a shipyard. Compared with the huge shipyard, this giant ship looks a bit small and exquisite.

The first section is built in the dock, and the second section is built on the slipway beside it, and then it can be closed and welded by lifting it. This method greatly speeds up the construction of the ship, but it places high demands on the shipyard.

.

The overhead gantry crane has a lifting capacity of more than 10,000 tons, which is necessary for segmented construction. At the same time, it also tests the skills of the welders. If there is a deviation between the front and rear sections, it will not be possible to close them.

Originally, the Guinean customers planned to leave a few people to supervise the construction, but when they heard that several people fell to death every year, they immediately gave up and completely handed over the construction work to the Easterners.

Although the construction started less than half a year ago, the first and second sections have been almost completed, and it looks like they will be closed soon, and the front part of 075 will take shape.

Looking at the busy construction scene, a group of French people were filled with emotion.

"Your dock is too big," Cadina said.

"Didn't I suggest it? Your Brest Shipyard also needs to expand or build a new dock. The displacement of your next aircraft carrier may increase. The existing dock is not enough. If you don't have a suitable dock, it is estimated that

The construction work will have to be left to others.”

Cadina's expression changed slightly. Yes, the trend of aircraft carriers becoming larger is becoming more and more obvious. Their next aircraft carrier will definitely need a larger displacement. The existing dock is not enough anyway.

"Of course, you can also leave it to us to build it. We guarantee the quality and quantity and it's cheap," Qin Tao said.

Of course not. If you build it, what do we earn?

Cadena rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Qin, your 075 has just built the first half. Where is your gas turbine? Has it not been shipped yet?"

Everyone came here to see the 075 under construction, but looking at the progress of this construction, it seems that the installation of gas turbines has not been done at all.

"Of course there is. It's in our warehouse. After you guys finish seeing this place, you can go to the warehouse and take a look at our gas turbines."

Warehouse?

We asked you to see the Charles de Gaulle, and what you saw were warships that had already been built, and warships that were about to be retired. We came all the way here, and what we saw were the warships still under construction in your dockyard, and the gas turbines in the warehouse?

"Mr. Qin, we all heard that the East is very hospitable. Now that we are here, we find that we haven't seen anything." Kaidina shook his head: "I went to the warehouse to look at the gas turbine. I'm afraid it hasn't been unpacked yet. What's the point?

?”

"Yes, Mr. Qin, out of the principle of reciprocity, can you let us board the 002 aircraft carrier to have a look?" Philip looked towards the outfitting dock in the distance, where a huge aircraft carrier was being outfitted.

During the installation stage, if they could go to that aircraft carrier and have a look, their trip would be perfect.

"You can unbox it now and experience it." Qin Tao said.

Demolition now?

"What's the use of taking it apart? It can't be installed."

"Why not? Since it has to be installed after it has been dismantled, is it okay for us to let you experience the entire installation process?"

"But... your aircraft carrier has clearly not yet reached the stage of installing engines."

"We have other boats to install."

Other ships?

Everyone's eyes turned to the slipway. What other ships over there are worthy of installing a 40-megawatt gas turbine?

Civilian ships are impossible, they can only be warships, or warships above 10,000 tons! However, it seems that the Orientals don’t have 10,000-ton warships anymore, right? Is it the aircraft carrier built for the big dog owners?

The Fahd aircraft carrier built for the big dog owners started construction in 1999. It has been a year and a half since then. The efficiency of the Easterners is quite high. The hull of this aircraft carrier has been roughly completed, and only the hull is left.

The island is still being built nearby and it looks like it will be launched into the water in a few months.

The 002 aircraft carrier in the East is absolutely not allowed to be seen, but as for the Fahd, it doesn't matter if the French can see it. At least it is no problem to stand on the slipway. This aircraft carrier is just in time to install the engine and dismantle it.

The engine packaging box can also be handed over to them.

"Is it the Fahd?" Philip asked.

"Yes, that's the aircraft carrier."

"You actually installed the engine during the hull construction stage?" Cadina was a little curious: "Shouldn't that be installed during the outfitting stage?"

"It would be a waste of time to install it during outfitting, so we usually complete the installation before launching into the water, so as not to cut the steel plates for installation and then weld the steel plates together." Qin Tao said: "Everyone, let's go to the warehouse now?"

"Okay." The Frenchman swallowed.

The progress of the Easterners makes them envious. They are also 30,000 to 40,000-ton aircraft carriers. The Charles de Gaulle has been working on it for more than ten years and is not yet in service. The Fahd has been working on it for a year or two and will soon be launched. This efficiency is...

It's definitely different.

Philip was very interested in the Fahd: "Can the Fahd use two gas turbines to meet the power demand?"

"Of course there is no problem. After all, it only has a displacement of 30,000 to 40,000 tons, and its power output of 80 megawatts is enough. Moreover, it uses a ski jump to take off and does not need the aircraft carrier to provide ejection energy." Qin Tao introduced.

At the beginning, Qin Tao deceived Gou Dahu's aircraft carrier design plan. Ski jump takeoff and vertical landing became the safest plan in Qin Tao's opinion. At the same time, the design of the aircraft carrier was also different from the conventional one. There was no angled deck.

, but takes off and lands on the left side and releases the aircraft on the right side, very similar to the Queen class.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I don’t know if the British will be embarrassed. Their queen class is not original, but a copy of the design plan of the Mingzhou Group!

After the Fahd project was established, Dongfang's 40-megawatt gas turbine was successfully developed. Therefore, Qin Tao went to Gou Dahu again to promote the gas turbine. Everyone was happy with the result. It was not only used on aircraft carriers, but also on land.

The oil pipeline will also be used!

Now, this gas turbine has been used for a lot of time, but it has not been used on ships yet. The Fahd is the first ship equipped with this kind of gas turbine!

Just like Guinea, the big dog owners trust Dongfang very much, so they don't send anyone to supervise them. They just wait for Dongfang to train them, and then go find them when they get into the water.

The two gas turbines were transported a week ago and placed in the warehouse. Now, it is time to install them!

Just like you need to tear off the film by yourself when picking up a new car, generally speaking, customers should do it when disassembling the packaging of marine engines. Now the French are doing it, which seems to be a bit overstepping their authority.

However, the French did not have this awareness. They came to the warehouse excitedly and looked at the huge rectangular wooden box.

On its outside, the words UGT-40000 are spray-painted with black paint, representing its identity: a 40-megawatt gas turbine.

Damao's previous gas turbines were specially developed and followed a different path from the West, but this gas turbine was improved with an aero engine. However, its appearance is not the cylinder of an aero engine, but a cube.

This is of course because it is covered with a shell.

"Mr. Philip, Mr. Duquesne, give each of you a crowbar." Qin Tao said, passing the crowbar: "Experience the pleasure of unpacking."

The two picked up the crowbar and pried up the outer wooden packaging. With a crunching sound, the wooden packaging was pried open, and then the metal shell inside was revealed.

"Okay, next, transfer it to the car, send it to the dock, and hoist it into the ship!"

Marine engines are big, and the same goes for this UGT40000 gas turbine. After removing the outer packaging, its length is six to seven meters, its height is nearly three meters, and its weight is more than seven or eight tons.

The outer packaging box has been removed, but the bottom is still retained. The overhead crane hoisted the engine to the chassis of an incoming trailer and slowly drove to the slipway.

Duquesne held the crowbar and looked in the direction of the vehicle.

Wait, is that all? When we came to the East, this is all we saw?

"Everyone has seen it, right? If it is guaranteed to be replaced, this is our 40-megawatt gas turbine!" Qin Tao said with a smile: "Being able to unpack the engine with your own hands is already a worthwhile trip, right?"

"Mr. Qin, we came all the way to the East just to unpack a package?"

"of course not."

"Then what other projects do we have?"

"You can also disassemble the second one, which uses two engines."

The French were completely speechless.

"Mr. Qin, we have to go up and take a look. Now that we are here, we must take a look at your aircraft carrier!"

"This..." Qin Tao thought for a moment with some embarrassment, and then said: "Everyone, if you must see it, then let's go to the Fahd to see it. However, in order to avoid being discovered and protested by the big dog owners, you need to

Put on our shipyard work clothes."

"Okay." Cadena nodded.

Half an hour later, everyone appeared on the deck of the Fahd. Looking at the jump deck in front and the parking area on the right, they had a feeling of déjà vu: "I heard that the British do not plan to use catapults."

I have already installed the machine, and I plan to use this deck layout plan.”

"Then you have to work hard. You can promote our Fahd when you go back. If the British do that, they will plagiarize our aircraft carrier design plan." Qin Tao said.

"Yes, they must use catapults so that they can take into account our Rafale." Philip nodded: "The British are too uncreative and always copy Eastern ones."

As long as the British use catapults, their aircraft carrier will not be built as soon as possible. Qin Tao cannot directly fool the British and can only use this indirect method.

In fact, if we talk about plagiarism, this deck can also be regarded as an enlarged invincible deck. I wonder what the British will think.

However, due to the amplification, the operation of this kind of deck is indeed much easier, and these are all innovations of Mingzhou Group.

Just standing on the deck and watching for a while became boring. At this time, watching the crane start to lift the first engine, Cadina couldn't help but ask: "Can we go to the engine room and have a look?"

Take a look at the engine room?

Qin Tao thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, but only two people can go in. If there are too many people, it may affect the installation of the gas turbine."
