Chapter 31 Computer Use
A few days later.
An IBM RS6000 UNIXRISC workstation is placed in the shipyard's office, with printers and other equipment connected next to it. The entire office has been renovated, the floor has been laid, and the windows have been replaced with more tightly sealed steel windows. In a corner, there is also an air conditioner placed.
Qin Tao is very happy, but Qin Baoshan is very sad.
"This thing is too expensive. Including decoration and other expenses, we have already invested one hundred thousand yuan." Qin Baoshan couldn't help but speak.
In his eyes, this was similar to Song Weize's taking away the money, and it was all wasted.
"Old man, look at how you have never seen the world." Qin Tao looked at his father with contempt: "Computer design is the direction of future development. Our Mingzhou Shipyard is at the forefront of the times. You should feel I'm so proud that it won't be long before the ship design institute will also come to visit us. Now it's not enough for me alone. In the future, we will recruit a group of college students and buy a dozen computers, and we will be able to steal their ships. The design institute’s business is gone.”
Qin Baoshan only felt that his son's bragging ability was getting stronger and stronger. His son could make money, but when he spent the money, it was like running water.
Fortunately, Qin Baoshan has prestige in Mingzhou Shipyard, so no one will say anything. If it were in another place, there would definitely be a lot of discussion.
Qin Tao ignored his father. It was useless to talk to them about the computer age now. He had to use facts to prove that he could probably design a catamaran passenger liner by operating this computer for a month. .
Qin Tao looked at the computer he had just purchased.
Specifically, it is not considered a later microcomputer, but should belong to a workstation. It uses a Power1 processor, but this processor is not a separate chip, but several chips installed on a board to form a complete processor.
Fortunately, its size is not large. Compared with those cabinet-like computers, it is more similar to a microcomputer. Its main circuits are placed in a flat chassis, and a professional computer is placed on top of the chassis. The 21-inch monitor used for drawing is also equipped with a light pen for input.
In the field of professional CAD drawing, the light pen is a common input device. You can use it to draw directly on the screen like a pen. This kind of thing has been around since the 1960s. Coupled with the specialized Pro/Engineer drawing software, designing a catamaran is nothing.
Dip, drip!
At this moment, the sound of a motorcycle horn rang outside, and Liu Minggang rode his Happiness 250 directly to the office.
“Hey, this is new equipment, how fancy is it?” Liu Minggang shouted outside.
"Stop! There are shoe covers at the door. If you come in, put on the shoe covers first!" Qin Tao shouted quickly. He looked at the cigarette in Liu Minggang's hand, and the ashes fell to the ground. His face was even more unhappy: "Put it on!" Suffocated the cigarette! Throw it in the trash can outside!"
“Little bastard, why are you talking to your Uncle Liu?” Qin Baoshan was a little dissatisfied.
Liu Minggang, however, didn't care at all: "Taozi is right, you're right, I won't go in, I'll stay outside."
Liu Minggang now dares to act like an elder. He has great admiration for Qin Tao. He has signed a contract with the islanders, and the equipment of the islanders is already on the way. When the equipment arrives, Coming here, his steel plant will reach a new level.
All of this is Qin Tao's contribution. Liu Minggang is extremely grateful in his heart. How can he feel Qin Tao's offense? Besides, computers seem to be high-end.
Standing in the corridor, Liu Minggang looked at the dock from a distance and said, "Now, the dredger has been almost dismantled. Next, it's the submarine's turn, right? Taozi, I heard that this submarine The steel used is even better!”
This is really no bragging, this kind of steel is very strong, surpassing any steel produced by domestic steel plants.
"Really?" Qin Baoshan didn't believe it.
"Old man, your attitude is not very good. You are clearly uneducated, but you are still not open to learning." Qin Tao criticized the old man while drawing on the computer: "Uncle Liu is better than you. He knows that this submarine is made of good steel. .”
"Taozi, do you think these steels will be wasted if they go into our steel-making furnace?" Liu Minggang continued to ask Qin Tao: "If our steel plant opens a new production line and directly makes these steels into kitchen knives, you What do you think?"
“Not good.” Qin Tao answered immediately.
“Why?”
“If you want to make kitchen knives, then our shipyard can do it. We also have various machining equipment. We make it ourselves and sell it ourselves. Why should it go through your hands?” Qin Tao said.
Liu Minggang was a little embarrassed.
“Since I sold it to you, I want you to melt it into molten iron and then re-smelt it into steel for use in our shipyard. Uncle Liu, if you don’t do your job properly and always think about crooked things, then our business..."
"Uncle Liu is wrong. Isn't it okay that Uncle Liu is wrong? Didn't Uncle Liu come here to discuss with you?" Liu Minggang was smiling all over his face.
Qin Baoshan on the side wanted to blow his beard and glare, you little bastard, are you trying to slap your nose on your face?
Teach me a lesson first, and then teach Director Liu a lesson, you are so insignificant!
"Uncle Liu, this steel is very important. After it enters your steel-making furnace and is smelted, we will use it to make catamarans. In the future, our Mingzhou Shipyard plans to make this our main business. You have to be more careful. Qin Tao continued to hammer on: "Hiring a group of professional steelmaking masters to operate the steel plate hot rolling equipment cannot be delayed any longer."
"What?" Qin Baoshan was a little dazed at the side: "Isn't the catamaran we want to build for civilian use? Does it need such good steel?"
Qin Tao brought the submarine over. The pressure hull of the submarine is made of high-strength steel. Even if the performance of the steel has declined after being remelted, it is far superior to ordinary civilian ship steel.
Now, Qin Tao wants to use this steel to make a catamaran, which is a bit wasteful!
Qin Tao shook his head: "Old man, I told you to study hard. I've talked about a lot of advantages of catamarans. Do you know the disadvantages of catamarans?"
“Shortcomings, what shortcomings?”
"The strength of catamarans is not high. Their ability to withstand severe weather at sea is very poor. Therefore, if we improve the steel standards for building ships, we can greatly improve the strength of catamarans. Our Mingzhou shipyard must create its own The brand is here, but if it doesn't become a hit and has some bad effects, then our shipyard will be in trouble."
Qin Baoshan started to think.
Over there, Liu Minggang was still frowning: "Yes, I have been thinking about this matter recently. I want to invite some masters from Huating No. 1 Steel Plant, but no matter how high the salary is, they can't do it." come!"
“What’s the problem? I’ll give you an idea!”
