Chapter 171 Sensation Nationwide
Qin Tao has been familiar with this simplest automated welding equipment in his previous life. To put it simply, it is just like when touch screen mobile phones first became popular, they needed to be calibrated after a few months of use. He took the pointing stick and poked corners and center of the screen. Now, it's just a matter of aligning the device with a few fiducial points.
Under Qin Tao's operation, the gantry moved back and forth, and the automatic welding handle was calibrated.
Xiaoquan admired Qin Tao even more, and was secretly glad that he regretted it in time, otherwise, they would not be able to use calibration to figure this out, and they would get a bad reputation.
“Speaking of it, this thing is not difficult. Your automatic welding equipment, that is, the welding seam tracking technology is more advanced.”
"Mr. Qin, you are right. Our equipment ranks first in the world in welding seam tracking technology!" Xiaoquan already knew that Qin Tao is definitely a professional in the field of automated welding. Otherwise, the secret is not will know.
During the welding process, there will be various glare, smoke, processing errors, etc. Even automatic welding equipment cannot avoid these problems. Originally, we were welding straight away. Who would have thought that the steel plate would be deviated during cutting? This welding The sewing is not accurate.
At this time, welding seam tracking technology is needed. The islanders were the first to use advanced sensors to collect various data during welding, monitor the welding deviation in real time based on the spatial parameters of the welding torch and the welding object, and then correct it.
Island countries still have a good track record in terms of high technology. You can take a look at the science and technology innovation competition for college students. For domestic ones, you can get a bicycle axle or something like that and then you can participate in the competition. What about foreign ones? Robot catches eggs…
Qin Tao glanced at Xiaoquan: "What does this mean? In the future, it can only be standard technology. If you can develop automatic programming technology, it will be called awesome."
Now, although the automated welding equipment is in place and debugged, it still needs to be programmed and the program input before automatic welding can be carried out. The advanced concept is to directly input the information about the ship's welding parts, or even directly input the shipbuilding CAD drawings, input the size of the steel to be used, and then automatically design the welding program, automatically cut, and automatically weld, which is very efficient. of.
Koizumi nodded: "We are currently conducting relevant research, and there will definitely be more in the future. Mr. Qin, I admire you very much. What equipment do you need for welding? We can help write the program."
“No need, these involve our secrets,” Qin Tao said.
Debugging equipment is the unshirkable responsibility of equipment manufacturers, but writing programs for the products they produce is not their job, and may also involve the confidentiality of the shipyard.
“Now, let’s enter a simple welding program and test the welding effect. If there is no problem, you can leave.”
Cong Ju did not speak during the whole process. When Qin Tao arrived, Cong Ju stood there silently with complicated eyes.
Automated welding has begun.
With everyone's attention, sparks are flying, and automatic welding can be carried out there without the need for human operation!
There is no need to smell the choking smoke, or worry about welding sparks being harmful to the eyes. This device is great!
After seeing off the islanders, Cong Ju walked to Qin Tao's side and spoke in a heavy tone.
“Mr. Qin, I didn’t handle this well. You can criticize me, punish me, or even deduct my salary!”
This matter was handled by Cong Ju alone without Qin Tao's intervention. After all, Qin Tao gave her the task of welding the natural gas MOSS tank. She must complete the task satisfactorily and cannot let Qin Tao do everything by himself. .
Who would have thought that such a big mistake would happen.
Using two million US dollars directly to buy equipment from the islanders, this was Qin Tao’s absolute trust in Cong Ju. As a result, the islanders almost cheated him out of the commissioning fee.
“Sister Cong Ju, I think it’s better for you to call me Tao Zi when there’s no one around. I’m not used to this kind of call, and it makes us feel alienated.”
“Mr. Qin, we are now a big group, and we must have certain rules. Even if we have a good personal relationship, you cannot tolerate me too much. This will be detrimental to your prestige.”
"Sister Cong Ju, if I have to take advantage of the people around me to establish my prestige, then I would rather not be the person in charge. My prestige does not depend on this. As long as I can lead everyone to make a lot of money and live a good life, everyone will naturally obey me. ." Qin Tao said: "Also, I can't blame you for this matter. It's my first time to deal with foreigners and I'm very satisfied with the introduction of equipment. It's just that there was a little problem in the end."
Cong Ju smiled bitterly, a million dollars of blackmail, is this a small problem? Even if it were to be replaced by Huating Shipyard, I'm afraid someone would have to take the blame.
“Sister Cong Ju, even if this matter is in the past, we still have to analyze the reasons. Do you know why?”
Cong Ju knew what Qin Tao wanted to say. She took a deep breath and then said: "Mr. Qin, after our equipment operates normally and we successfully weld a qualified MOSS tank, I will take the college entrance examination this year. , In fact, I have been studying by myself during this period of time.”
His own education is still shallow. Cong Ju must enrich himself and go to college!
Qin Tao nodded: "Sister Cong Ju, when you get to university, you don't have to worry about things in the factory. You can just stay in the factory during the winter and summer vacations."
Cong Ju’s heart was filled with emotion.
Be a literate person at any time. No matter when, you can never give up learning.
“I will definitely study hard and never be deceived by foreigners again when I deal with them.”
“Sister Cong Ju, your ideals are too small.”
"What?"
“It’s nothing if you can’t be deceived by foreigners. It’s your ability to fool foreigners.” Qin Tao said.
"By the way, Mr. Qin, our shipyard will have more business in the future, including ship repairs and shipbuilding. At present, the equipment in our factory still needs to be updated," Cong Ju said.
“gantry crane?”
Cong Ju nodded: "Our floating dock can repair tens of thousands of tons of ships, so we also need an advanced heavy-duty gantry crane with a lifting weight of about a thousand tons. However, a gantry crane of this level, The number is very small, currently only Bincheng Shipyard has it in China."
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, if we want our shipyard to develop, we must have a large gantry crane. This kind of hardware equipment is necessary, but it is very expensive if purchased from abroad. "
In future generations, a thousand-ton gantry crane will be nothing. Almost all gantry cranes in the world are produced in the motherland.
When that Oreo stood in front of the shipyard and made provocative remarks about the motherland, the cover on the gantry crane behind him was blown open by the wind, revealing the big characters "Made in China" and giving him a hard slap on the face. hand.
The third brother next door often compares with his motherland, so he would rather buy a second-hand gantry crane from the UK at a high price than from the motherland. As a result, after buying it back, he discovered that this gantry crane was also made in China.
The British are very cunning. They bought gantry cranes from their motherland to build their aircraft carriers, and then sold them to Ah San at a high price. This was equivalent to using the gantry cranes in vain. However, when their aircraft carriers needed repairs, they discovered to their sorrow that they did not have a thousand-ton crane. Grade gantry cranes are available.
These are all things that enhance the country's prestige, but this is the 21st century. Currently, the country can produce up to two hundred tons of gantry cranes. Don't even think about such thousand-ton cranes!
If outsourcing, where should I buy it from?
"We go to foreign shipyards and buy second-hand goods that the other party doesn't want at a low price." Qin Tao said: "We can let the news out first, so that people will come to us. We shop around and choose the cheapest one. Yes. Even if they sell it for only one or two million dollars, it’s still better than blowing it up.”
Qin Tao is really right. In the past few years, the world's freight industry has entered a period of depression. Many shipyards have imposed restrictions. There is a 900-ton gantry crane in Sweden. It has been idle for a long time and cannot be sold. Go out, so in the end they were so distraught that they were blown up.
I don’t understand why. Is it because I feel upset when I look at it every day?
“If you buy this kind of gantry crane second-hand, it will be very difficult to dismantle it.” Cong Ju said: “Sister Cong Ju, you seem to be very familiar with it. Do you want to take this task next? Deal with foreigners and practice again?”
Qin Tao was just joking at first, but unexpectedly, Cong Ju took it seriously.
“Wherever you fall, you have to get up. If you are deceived by contact with foreign countries, you should contact me a few more times and praise your experience. But this time, Mr. Qin, you have to check it for me.”
Qin Tao nodded: "Of course."
Qin Tao's technical power is getting stronger and stronger, but he is still very busy. The automated cutting and welding equipment needs to be programmed. In the early stage, Qin Tao can only do it by himself, and the design office also needs his ideas, and the shipyard He was very busy, and other factories in the group also reported to him from time to time.
One month later.
The automatic welding machine slowly stopped, and the last weld was finally completed. What appeared in front of everyone was a gleaming aluminum alloy spherical tank!
“Success, the welding is finally completed!” Everyone at the scene exclaimed excitedly.
Thanks to these automated equipment, otherwise, they would never have been able to weld such a behemoth in such a short time! Moreover, the entire welding process is very labor-saving. In most cases, they only need to watch.
“Hurry, report this news to Mr. Qin.” Cong Ju was also very excited.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tao's voice rang out: "I'm here! I also brought comrade journalists."
Behind Qin Tao, a large group of reporters followed. They held cameras in their hands and started taking pictures of the ball tank.
There were a few people with cameras. One of them, a beautiful female reporter who was often seen on TV, held a microphone with a CCTV logo and introduced it to the camera.
"Dear viewers, today we came to Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group. What appears behind me now is the most important MOSS tank of the liquefied gas ship, which is known as the crown of the civilian ship. As far as we know, this is the first domestically produced tank. A moss jar, it marks that we have taken off this crown!”
(A lot of information says that domestic construction of liquefied gas ships began in 1991, but there is no detailed information. I don’t know whether it is a liquefied natural gas ship or a liquefied petroleum gas ship, and I don’t know what form it is. It is definitely not Yinwa Steel. The real domestic It was only after entering the new millennium that we started building Yinwa steel membrane boats. So here the crown is given to the protagonist.)
"In order to achieve zero breakthrough, Mingzhou Shipyard has made a lot of arduous efforts, including these automated welding equipment, which were imported from abroad with self-raised funds. Now, let us interview the person in charge of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, Qin total."
Qin Tao smiled brightly and faced the camera. This kind of scene was nothing to him. He was not nervous at all: "Our Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, under the wise command of Central Committee D, and leaders at all levels, Under the kind care of the company, we finally achieved a new breakthrough. We are very happy to break the foreign monopoly. We know that natural gas is a clean energy. Our country has also become an importer of natural gas since last year. We need a large number of of natural gas ships, we firmly believe that the quality of our products has reached the same level abroad, and the price is only 80% of that of foreign ships of the same level..."
Of course we have to use this kind of free advertising. If it is cut off during post-production, there is nothing we can do about it. At least Qin Tao has to say it now.
Although they have created the first MOSS tank in China, users may not be able to rest assured! Therefore, this first liquefied gas ship can only be a price war. As long as the first ship is sold and operated well, there will definitely be a steady stream of orders from now on, even if the price is the same as abroad.
Of course, with a 20% discount on foreign prices, the profits are huge.
“Now, we have only mastered the production technology of this key MOSS tank. However, it is only a component of the liquefied gas ship. The overall design of this ship is also critical, right?” The beautiful female reporter continued to ask.
Qin Tao held up a model in his hand. Although it was made in a hurry, it was still realistic.
"Everyone, this is the liquefied gas ship we designed. It carries four spherical tanks with a total capacity of 150,000 cubic meters. For a big city like Huating, it can meet the needs of all residents for a month." Qin Tao said: "Although our Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group is not as famous as those big shipyards, we are also very good in professional fields. Catamarans, dredgers, and liquefied gas ships are all our flagship products. "
That night, XW broadcast used an unprecedented three minutes to broadcast the story of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group's development of liquefied gas ships. In an instant, related industries across the country were shocked.
