Hazard didn’t object, he just watched all this calmly, looking forward to the next good show. Can the Kimchi people succeed?
Of course it’s impossible!
Since it was just a replacement, they moved very quickly. The replacement work was completed almost within a week. This shows that the shipbuilding industry in the South Kimchi Country is also very strong.
On the pier, two trucks carrying hazardous chemicals drove over again, preparing for the second pre-cooling test. Many people stood nearby, waiting for the next filling experiment.
"We have reinforced the liquid cargo fence system this time, and there will definitely be no cracks." Zheng Yishan said to Azar on the side: "We will ensure the quality. We have built many liquefied gas ships over the years and have rich experience. , Moreover, we built liquefied gas ships earlier than the East!"
Cui Taegen personally boarded the liquefied gas ship and commanded from the most conspicuous position. He knew that this time must not fail. If something went wrong this time, their shipbuilding industry in South Kimchi Country would be greatly destroyed. The blow!
“Attention, prepare to perform nitrogen blowing operation!” Cui Taigen shouted loudly.
Since this is a high-risk operation, the radio phone may cause sparks when working, so we can only rely on people to shout. His voice is very loud and can be heard clearly by the whole audience.
The pipe is opened, compressed nitrogen enters the pipe, and a sizzling sound is heard.
Half an hour later.
“The nitrogen purging operation has been completed! The data on each pressure gauge, temperature gauge, dew point measuring instrument, and sensor are completely normal!”
As long as it’s normal! Zheng Yishan slowly relaxed. The first step went well, and there will be no problems in the second and third steps. Everything will be normal!
“Attention, prepare to fill with low-temperature liquid nitrogen and perform pre-cooling operations! The temperature of the liquid cargo fence system must be reduced to minus 140 degrees, and the dew point temperature must be reduced to minus 40 degrees!”
White smoke emerged from the nozzle of the liquefied nitrogen truck, and the docking was completed instantly. The cold liquid nitrogen flowed into the liquid cargo fence system, quickly cooling everything along the way.
Each thermometer is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting lower and lower, and finally reaches a limit.
"everything is normal!"
normal!
In the pre-cooling process, introducing low-temperature nitrogen is the most important step! As long as this step is done safely, there will naturally be no problems with the subsequent filling of LNG.
The big stone in Zheng Yishan's heart finally fell to the ground, okay, it's over, the terrible nightmare is finally over!
“Each monitoring point is completely normal and no leakage has been observed!”
“Fill up with LNG!”
As long as this step is completed, the test of the liquid cargo fence system is over. Then you can wait until the entire construction is completed and drive to the LNG terminal for testing!
everything is normal! Zheng Yishan let out a long breath.
LNG filling begins. This tank of LNG looks like a lot on the car, but on the ship, it just covers the bottom of the liquid cargo fence system, which is a drop in the bucket.
The liquefied natural gas flowed along the pipeline and into the natural gas ship. Zheng Yishan was very satisfied there: "Mr. Azar, we specially designed a new liquefied natural gas pump. Whether it is filling or pumping out, the time required is very short. .”
Natural gas is a gas, but liquefied natural gas is a liquid. It also needs something like a water pump to pump it out. However, this water pump has to work at minus 80 to 90 degrees or even more than 100 degrees, which requires good low-temperature performance.
Of course, not only water pumps, pipelines, valves, etc. all need to work at this temperature. The South Kimchi Country has been exposed to LNG ships for a longer time. They have already realized the independent matching of these products and can also use them according to the needs improvement.
At this time, after hearing Zheng Yishan’s words, Alza nodded: “Well, shortening this time is of great significance to LNG ships.”
Whether it is transportation or transshipment, LNG is very dangerous, so the shorter the time required, the better.
Especially when loading and unloading cargo at the port, if something goes wrong, it would be similar to a hydrogen bomb explosion.
At this moment, suddenly, someone shouted in surprise: "The dew point temperature of No. 47 is decreasing rapidly!"
This shows what?
Everyone’s expressions changed.
“No, it’s absolutely impossible, the temperature sensor over there must be broken!” Cui Taigen said: “Everything should be genuine, don’t worry about it, just keep adding!”
He would never believe that his newly developed liquid cargo fence system would fail again. It must be a sensor failure!
“Forty-six, forty-eight, the dew point temperatures in several nearby areas are dropping rapidly!”
One is a fault, what about two or three? Is everything out of order?
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded.
For the safety of LNG ships, a large number of alarms are installed inside. Once a leak occurs, they will sound the alarm quickly and are very sensitive.
Now that the sirens are going off, can it still be a sensor failure?
The driver of the LNG truck immediately ended the filling. He didn't care how important the ship here was. He only cared about the safety of his own vehicle. While he was operating, a puff of white smoke appeared on the breathable mast of the LNG ship. superior!
The leak must be a leak of liquefied natural gas!
Looking at the white smoke that appeared there, Zheng Yishan looked a little dazed and seemed to have ignored the siren.
The siren has become louder!
The last time it was pre-cooled, it was just a leak of liquid nitrogen. This thing cannot burn. As long as it does not cause frostbite, there is no big problem. But now, liquefied natural gas has been poured into it, and half of the car has been filled. A leak of dozens of tons of liquefied natural gas will cause dire consequences!
Can the leak be stopped?
Of course not! If it is a pipeline leak, just turn off the pipeline valve, but this is a leak in the liquid cargo fence system, a leak in the container storing liquefied natural gas. Can we still go to the site to remedy it?
In fact, if you are at sea, it doesn't matter if there is a slight leak. After all, the ship is moving, and the leaked water can be discharged. But now, the liquefied gas ship is stationary at the dock. If it leaks, Will be gathering soon!
Fire truck sirens sounded, workers began to be dispersed, and the entire port seemed busy.
Azar took one last look at the liquefied gas ship and knew that the SCA ship in the South Kimchi Country was completely finished. There was no need to go to sea for operation. It was just testing at the dock and encountered such a huge problem. There will be no ships in the future. Don dare to use it.
No, if there is triple compensation, it is estimated that shipowners from all over the world will come here, right? He followed the flow of people evacuating and turned to look at Zheng Yishan, who was waiting stupidly.
Brother, you are finished!
"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zheng Yishan gritted his teeth: "Cui Taegen! Go in and take a look!"
Go in? What a joke!
If it is a liquefied gas ship produced by an island country, it uses a MOSS tank. The tank is spherical and the hull cross-section is trapezoidal, so that there is still space between the tank and the hull. Now this membrane-type liquefied gas ship has a liquid cargo fence. The system and the hull are closely connected. Where there is space for people to go in and take a look, it relies on a large number of sensors. Only when the temperature inside returns to normal temperature can people go in and take a look.
“Hurry, what are you waiting for?”
However, Zheng Yishan shouted to his men angrily: "Tear down the bridge plate. If he doesn't check the fault for me, don't come down!"
The ship is ready, and it is connected to the dock by a bridge plate. Now, Zheng Yishan is furious and wants Cui Taegen to check the fault immediately and remove the bridge plate to prevent him from running back.
"You are committing murder!" Cui Taegen watched as the bridge planks on one side were taken away and he could only run to the other side. His feet were running quickly on the deck. Suddenly, there was a strange feeling under his feet. When he lowered his head, As he read on, his expression suddenly changed.
The leakage point should be here, because the steel plate here has...His shoes and the steel plate were stuck together, and he could no longer move. He was running again, so his body leaned forward and he lay on the deck.
He let out a scream as a heart-wrenching cold swept over his body.
“Ah...help!”
The voice disappeared, and his whole body was frozen to the bone, like an ice sculpture. White frost began to appear on his eyebrows and mouth. He maintained the posture of calling for help, but could no longer speak. .
On the pier, Zheng Yishan was shocked when he saw this scene. After thinking for a moment, he twisted his body and ran outside quickly. It was terrible, so terrible.
There was no explosion, and the fire brigade successfully resolved the crisis. However, the accident caused one casualty, and the designer of the SCA liquid cargo fence system died!
This incident quickly spread around the world.
“Brother Tao, as you guessed, their liquid cargo fence system is unreliable and there was a problem during pre-cooling.” Zhao Ling said to Qin Tao in the warm office.
“Well, it’s different from what I guessed.” Qin Tao said: “I originally thought they were going to have an accident during the first transportation, but I didn’t expect that it would not work before it was the sea trial’s turn.”
Qin Tao guessed the ending, but not the process.
According to his memory, the people of South Korea were dissatisfied that the French had stolen their patent fees, so they decided to be self-reliant and developed their own liquid cargo fence system, but no one dared to use it, so their own transportation company used it, and then used it in their own transportation company. It leaked during the first transportation. When I returned home, I couldn't repair it, so I scrapped it.
The people of South Kimchi are definitely more anxious now, and their technology is less mature. They can't even pass the port test. This is not good. They should delay for a while, build more liquefied gas ships, invest more money, and wait until When failures occur, they lose more money.
However, three times the compensation is enough. What should the offline heavy industry do?
“Next, their government should take action.” Zhao Ling said.
"Yes, that's for sure." Qin Tao said: "Two of their shipbuilding companies have already collapsed. If this one also fails, then they will completely lose their shipbuilding industry, so what we face next is not A simple Line Generation Heavy Industry is not the Line Generation Group behind it, but the entire country behind it, but that’s what makes it interesting.”
Back then, Soros was able to shake the entire Southeast Asia on his own, which was based on huge capital. But now, Qin Tao also has this ability, and Mingzhou Group has become a behemoth, enough to shake some countries. economy.
It is so easy to **** a small line-generation heavy industry, but there is no other way. Who told them not to keep a low profile? They actually want to build an aircraft carrier and a 10,000-ton battleship. If not, who will you do?
“Brother Tao, if we do this, will it arouse hostility or even blockage from others?”
"If we don't do this, will there be no hostility?" Qin Tao smiled: "I don't know how many people have illusions about our Mingzhou Group and want to bring us down, but they have failed because we have already We are strong enough, and we have a great motherland behind us!"
“Yes, there is a strong motherland standing behind us.” Zhao Ling agreed. At this moment, she felt a flame burning in her chest.
At this time, Xiandai Heavy Industry was already devastated.
There was a deathly silence in the conference room. Zheng Yishan looked at his subordinates, who lowered their heads and didn't even look at each other.
"We have received a total of twelve orders for liquefied gas ships. The average price of a liquefied gas ship is 170 million. If all compensation is paid, it will be 6 billion. At present, our line generation heavy industry only has 300 million US dollars in its account. Who can tell What should I do next?"
You are the big boss. Now if something like this happens, what should we do?
No one answered, this was a dead end, and they seemed to have a premonition that this matter was not simple, and someone might be tricking them behind the scenes! Their orders were increasing. When they started construction, they had ten ships. Later, they received two more orders for a total of twelve ships. They thought it was because their liquefied gas ships were so popular. They would never have thought that those People actually came here for their compensation!
“Pu Taixian, tell me!” Zheng Yishan started to ask questions.
“The biggest problem in this matter is Choi Tae-geun. They rushed it to us before the research and development was mature. He must bear full responsibility!”
Yes, if we talk about the culprit, it must be the engineer Choi Tae-geun. However, Choi Tae-geun is already dead. The leaked liquefied gas sprayed onto the deck. The temperature of the deck at that time was estimated to be minus 50 or 60 degrees. Cui Tae-geun's body was pressed against the deck. He was immediately frozen to death.
However, the insurance company refused to compensate because Cui Taegen was frozen. They said that with the development of human technology, Cui Taegen will be thawed one day and will be alive by then. Since he is not dead, he cannot receive accident insurance benefits.
Is it useful to talk about Choi Tae-geun? It has no effect at all!
“Huang Youxian, tell me.” Zheng Yishan named him again.
"Currently, our best way is to explain to our customers that our ships have temporarily encountered problems and cannot start construction immediately, especially for customers who order follow-up orders. We have not started construction yet, and even if the contract has not taken effect, we have not If we cause any losses to them, we will refund their deposit and compensate them several hundred thousand as interest.”
Zheng Yishan nodded, this is the only thing we can do now, discuss with the customer first.
Although the contract has been signed, when encountering special circumstances, you can still discuss it with the customer.
"We can also transfer the order to the previous liquid cargo fence system, and the extra cost will be borne by us. The delivery date of the first few ships may be delayed, but the subsequent ones should be delivered according to the original plan. After all, we Have construction skills and experience.”
In short, all methods have one goal: to refuse triple compensation!
Their idea is good, can the customer agree to it?
The first customer set an example.
Zheng Yishan took Huang Youxian with him and flew to Belgium, Europe, to meet his first customer.
Flatt Company is located in a port city. The whole city is not big, but it looks clean and tidy. Many of the ships waiting to load and unload cargo at the port are spray-painted with Flatt Company's logo, telling the story of the company's huge scale.
In the large conference room, Kami Siglon warmly received the guests from the Southern Kimchi Country.
“Mr. Siglon, I’m very sorry, there is something wrong with our liquefied gas ship.”
"It doesn't matter. This is your first time trying new technology, and problems are inevitable." Sigron was very generous.
"We are now unable to deliver the ship on time. We hope you can give us some more time. We will build a liquefied gas ship using French patented technology to meet your needs. As for the losses caused by the delay in construction, we are willing to Pay compensation.”
"It doesn't matter. There is no need to continue building it. Just pay us three times the compensation. Our ship is under a contract signed for US$150 million. Just compensate us US$450 million."
The first ship was opened at a low price, so now the compensation will be less.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Siglon, our company doesn’t have that much money. We are here sincerely because we want to find a result that satisfies both of us.”
"No money? How can a company as big as yours have no money? Your shipyard has so many assets. Needless to say, compensation for us is enough, and even subsequent compensation is enough."
Zheng Yishan and Huang Youxian’s faces changed. This man only wanted money!
"Mr. Siglon, after signing the contract, you did not contribute any money. This first ship was built with commission from subsequent orders. We are willing to compensate you for a new one. This is the greatest sincerity." Yes." Zheng Yishan said.
The other party spent nothing, and in the end, earned 450 million! This is too much. Can't we resolve it amicably?
"It's all in accordance with the contract, and you give us the commission." Sigron said: "We will act in accordance with the contract. If you do not abide by the contract, then we will go to the London court to meet."
If it really happens like that, the credibility of the shipbuilding industry in South Korea will be completely lost, and they will not get any orders from Europe!
