Chapter 635 Heart attack?
When meeting these people, Pozharsky understood in his heart that Bazanov's resignation was meaningless at all. Bazanov did not want the secrets of nuclear submarines to fall into the hands of Easterners, but Now, the Easterners have a large number of their former companions. Even if they only rely on the knowledge in their heads, they can build nuclear submarines that are as good as those in the Red Empire era, or even better.
So, what else is there to resist? It would be better to enjoy the beauty of business trips with a subsidy comfortably like now.
Since it was necessary to improve the 095 submarine and design a larger ballistic missile nuclear submarine, Kvasa's work was very busy. This time, Krasnopolski was responsible for the work, which happened to be his professional counterpart.
“Come, let’s go to the conference room and negotiate first.” Krasnopolski led everyone to the conference room. After entering, he immediately ordered the staff to serve wine.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the wine bottle on the conference table.
"Krasnopolsky, are you going to invite us to drink? Drinking seems inappropriate on this occasion, right?" Pozharsky resisted the temptation of wine and said to his old friend.
"Is this appropriate or inappropriate? I know your situation. You rarely get to drink. You have just arrived today. You can't go straight to work anyway. You have to get off the jet lag first and take a rest."
“But time is very tight!” Pozharsky said: “We have to race against time.”
"Have you brought the design drawings? Input them into our computer, and then our computer will automatically run the program to calculate the best cutting position." Krasnopolski said: "Come with you. Intelligence officer, if you are worried, you can follow us together."
That's right, it's not as convenient as it used to be. When these technicians go on business trips, they will inevitably be accompanied by an officer in charge of intelligence. The KGB is very concerned about these. The person who followed this time was named Leonid, and he was also an experienced veteran.
Now, the choice was left to the officer. This man was very hesitant, while Pozharsky and others were surprised.
“Krasnopolsky, what are you talking about? Can your computer automatically calculate the cutting site?”
“Yes, our design department has the most advanced computer system, which is the latest server from Loongson Company. It contains hundreds of Loongson processors, and its computing power can rank among the top fifty in the world.”
The top fifty supercomputers in the world are actually found here?
Intelligence officer Leonid finally spoke: "Okay, I can go to your computer room with the structural diagram."
He was tempted. This time he came here not only to protect the structural diagram information and take it back after use, but also to see the technological development in the East. Now, he can see the top fifty computers in the world. He can also collect more information.
Of course, he would not know that these old-fashioned structural diagrams are not the most important at all. What is important is people like Pozharsky. If these people stay, it will further strengthen the submarine design capabilities of the Mingzhou Group, which will be important to the current situation. The submarine design work will also be of great help. They have the design plan of the Type 949 nuclear submarine in their minds, and they can complete the structural diagram when needed!
After Leonid left, several people became excited.
“Krasnopolsky, thank you for your hospitality!” Pozharsky raised the bottle.
“You’re welcome, we were all friends once, this is what I should do, come on, let’s have a good drink today!”
Everyone raised the wine bottle and drank it down. When the burning feeling rose from their stomachs, everyone felt extremely satisfied.
The familiar feeling is back.
How great it would be if it could always be like this!
“Pozharsky, what projects are you working on now?” Krasnopolsky asked.
What project? We don’t have any projects right now, okay? Pozharski felt a little depressed, took a few more sips, and then said: "Our most important project now is the Type 636 submarine, which is currently very popular in the market."
The Kilo class in the West's mouth is the Type 877 nuclear submarine in Damao. Later, after some improvements, Damao launched the Type 636. In terms of submarines, Damao's technology is still very good. After the Kilo class obtained export permission, Sales are pretty good.
“Oh, the Type 636 is indeed good. What about the nuclear submarine? Are there any new projects?”
"Krasnopolsky, you also know that these are secrets, and we cannot reveal secrets." Pozharsky said.
What about leaking secrets? It was clear that there were no secrets. Krasnopolsky did not point it out. He nodded and said: "Yes, you can't leak secrets. I can't leak secrets. We are... very busy at work now."
What does it mean to be very busy at work?
Are you also developing nuclear submarines?
Pozharski rolled his eyes: "The technology of Eastern nuclear submarines is very weak. They are simply tractors in the sea. They will be discovered by others from a distance. Have these technologies been improved now?"
Krasnopolski shook his head: "I don't know."
"The Mingzhou Shipyard has acquired some outdated machinery and equipment, such as plate bending machines that specialize in manufacturing submarines. Is Mingzhou Group going to get involved in the manufacturing of nuclear submarines? The performance of their plate bending machines is not good enough, and they should not be able to build a plate bending machine with a displacement of more than 5,000 A ton of nuclear submarines, right?”
"That was before. You should have heard that Mingzhou Group has invented the CNC bending machine, which has greatly improved the efficiency of manufacturing ships. Now the global shipbuilding industry is watching and wants to buy their equipment, but Mingzhou Group does not Sell."
Krasnopolski had disdain on his face: "You should also know that plate bending machines and plate rolling machines have many technologies in common. Now, let me explain that Zhouzhou Group has a plate rolling machine with a diameter of more than 13 meters. It’s completely possible.”
Diameter more than 13 meters? Everyone's eyes widened: "How is it possible? This kind of machine doesn't even exist in our country!"
"Everyone, since the collapse of the Red Empire, has our domestic technology made any progress?" Krasnopolski said: "We only know archeology, and even archeology is not good at archeology. Many things have been lost! For example, , if we still want to start building titanium alloy submarines, does our factory have the production capacity?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"In these years, the technology in the East has continued to improve! Since I came here, I have felt the rapid development of technology here. Almost every once in a while, there will be a new breakthrough. We now use the world's most advanced technology. The computer was developed by Mingzhou Group itself! Everyone, do we have this capability in our country?"
Everyone was silent.
Krasnopolski is right. The technology here has been improving and developing, so it is possible to say that there are advanced plate bending machines here.
etc!
In other words, construction of a large nuclear submarine is going to start here?
There is a lack of a large number of nuclear submarine experts here?
Thinking of this, they looked at the wine glasses in their hands again. If they came here, would they be able to drink good wine every day? No, can you happily enjoy work every day? As ideal engineers, they don’t want to waste their time!
Their moods became complicated.
Intelligence officer Leonid also had a very complicated mood at this time. He had worked in Eastern Europe and had seen the advanced technology in Western Europe. However, the technology in front of him convinced him that it was definitely no worse than the West, or even better!
After the data is input into the computer, modeling and calculation begin. All of this is actually automatic! The computer programmer is definitely a genius! The computer calculates the stress points at different locations and determines the best location.
The terminal has three large screens, all of which are the most luxurious LCD displays.
The structure diagram is displayed on the left, and the jumping cursor on it indicates the calculation position. In the middle is a black screen, and the code on it is constantly jumping. On the right is the programmer's operation interface, which can be taken over by the programmer when needed.
“The amount of data being calculated is huge, and this computer runs too fast!” Leonid couldn’t help but say.
"Of course, this is the most powerful server developed by our domestic Loongson company. However, it will soon be replaced by Godson 2. The new processor will be built using more advanced technology and will have faster calculations. , the heat generation is smaller." said the operator on the side.
“Your technology is so advanced that it’s unbelievable. There are not many countries that can produce general-purpose processors!”
"These are the results of the hard work of our scientific researchers. We must establish advanced industries so as to avoid potential risks. If you need it, we can also provide you with these advanced equipment."
need? Of course it is needed, but these equipment are expensive and we simply don’t have the funds to purchase them!
Leonid shook his head: "No need."
During the calculation process here, the Zhenhua No. 3 crane ship has already moved north. In this way, when the preliminary preparations are completed and the lifting is needed, they will arrive just in time.
Qin Tao and Nicholas, as well as Popov, the leader of the Northern Fleet salvage team, and others also embarked on the road back to the Far East. The East is only responsible for salvaging the tail section, and they still have to salvage the front part themselves, so now They need to observe the salvage process, which is also a form of supervision.
“The crane ship with a lifting capacity of 12,000 tons is really the best in the world.” Popov said with emotion: “It would be great if we had such a crane ship!”
"Mr. Popov, you have many large warships and many large barges. You only need to modify one barge. Although you do not have a crane with a lifting capacity of over 10,000 tons, you can use multiple cranes. Cooperate with the homework." Qin Tao began to give advice to the other party.
"However, if multiple cranes are used, these cranes will involve coordination issues." Qin Tao continued: "Due to various factors, the crane's cable must be compensated to calculate the stress. You must prepare alright."
Popov was stunned.
What kind of tension compensation should be calculated?
According to their calculations, they plan to install 26 hydraulic cranes on the barge, each crane weighing 500 tons, so that they can reach a lifting capacity of 13,000 tons. They can produce such cranes themselves. There is no need to spend money on purchasing, and it can also allow domestic crane manufacturers to make a lot of money. After the collapse of the Red Empire, life is not easy for everyone.
They only calculated the lifting capacity, but never considered the coordination between the cranes. This is really too difficult.
“Mr. Qin, according to our plan, can’t we just tighten all the hanging ropes and then use all our strength together?”
"Of course not enough." Qin Tao said: "What is being salvaged now is the submarine! After the submarine is damaged and sank, its performance will change in all aspects, such as the tendency of expansion and structural strength changes after damage, the bending moment of each cross section of the submarine , the dynamic process of shear force. When lifting, more factors must be carefully considered. During the process of floating, the gravity, buoyancy, center of gravity, and center of buoyancy of the submarine will change in real time, as well as the impact of surging seawater. . If these factors are not taken into account, how can we salvage? When the time comes, only half of the slings will be tightened and the remaining half will be loosened. Think about what will happen?"
If only one crane is used, then of course there is no need to consider these things and just lift slowly. However, if multiple cranes are used to cooperate, the process will be complicated. All the slings must be tightened at the same time. If one of them is loose, it will not be able to use force.
In the mobile phone processor, one core is in trouble and eight cores are watching. Of course, this situation will also occur when multiple cranes are lifting together.
The cooperation between cranes is very complicated!
Once a part of the sling fails to work and the remaining sling is not enough to complete the task, the sling may break and the salvaged items will fall again, or the barge may be overturned!
An accident occurred while the crane was lifting, and the crane overturned. It is not unheard of.
At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's introduction, Popov's face became more and more gloomy. As a professional salvage team, they should know these principles. But after the old men of the salvage team retired, they had nothing to do. Experience, you actually ignored such an important thing!
However, how to calculate this? They simply don't have this ability.
Xu Zhengyang on the side understood that it was impossible for his side to only get half of the salvage cost in this salvage, and the salvage task subcontracted to Popov and the others might not be able to be completed!
At the end of the day, you have to ask for help from your own side.
Heavy-lift cranes are an equipment that does not operate for half a year, but operates for half a year. Now that we have such a rare salvage task, of course we have to get more benefits.
Furthermore, this can also demonstrate one's own professional capabilities in submarine rescue and salvage. In the future, when Southeast Asian countries encounter this kind of thing again, the first thing they will think of is their own side!
Popov was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning. For the rest of the journey, he almost always had a straight face and his mind was very confused.
what to do? How to solve this problem?
The weather in the Far East has been very cold. When everyone arrived on the supply ship No. 908, Mingzhou Group had already sent a professional cutting plan.
“Everyone, let’s start next. The first step is to cut the submarine apart.” Qin Tao said: “I hope the weather will be better in the past few days, so that we can ensure the construction progress.”
One thousand meters underwater will not be affected by sea waves. However, No. 908 is the mother ship of Jiaolong. It is responsible for providing power, oxygen, etc. to Jiaolong, and lifting and releasing it at the same time. If the sea is too rough, this will This kind of work cannot be carried out.
“Yes, we need to do it as soon as possible!” Nicholas nodded.
There were so many onlookers, including ships on the sea and helicopters in the air, that the Pacific Fleet had to dispatch two warships to patrol near the operating area to prevent those guys from approaching.
It is impossible to drive them away, because these people are all under the banner of supervising nuclear leaks, which is what they should be.
The weather was quite favorable, and the Jiaolong carried the underwater cutting device and started a new job.
Huating, the work is over and it’s time for Pozharski and others to leave.
"Krasnopolski, we are leaving." Pozharski said with some reluctance: "We are very happy working and living here these days."
Abundant life, advanced equipment, and new projects represented by large plate bending machines... Do we really want to say goodbye to all of this?
"If you like, you can stay here for a while." Krasnopolski said: "Anyway, there will be nothing wrong with you when you go back."
Stay longer? Pozharsky's eyes widened: "Is this appropriate? What reason do we need to stay here longer?"
Leonid also frowned. When he came, he was tasked with protecting the security of the data. However, it would be inappropriate for these people to stay in the east!
"Reason? You have the right to choose your own job. What other reason do you need?" Krasnopolski said: "Since the collapse of the Red Empire, how many people have gone to Western Europe and the United States. If you want If you stay in the East, of course you can stay, this is your freedom."
"Mr. Krasnopolsky, you can't do this. It will harm our interests." Leonid said, he had to stop it. If he was the only one left when he went back, then he You will definitely be punished.
"What harm is done to your interests? Ruby Design Bureau has not had any projects at all recently, and wages cannot be paid normally. Since the country cannot guarantee them a basic life, why can't they choose the life they want?"
“Can’t mean they can’t. In short, they must go back.” Leonid said: “If it’s serious, they may even commit treason!”
Hearing this, several people trembled.
Pozharski's face turned pale. He had figured out a lot of things. He was in big trouble!
This time they go back, they will definitely be investigated!
If you don’t go back, what reason should you use to stay?
“Ouch, my, my chest hurts so much!” Pozharsky said, covering his chest.
“Mr. Pozharsky, what’s wrong with you?”
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts!”
"Quick, quick-acting Jiuxin Pill, quick, call an ambulance immediately!" Krasnopolski couldn't help but applaud Pozharski's acting skills, great!
If you are sick, you can’t go back now, right? Let’s stay in the country first.
As for Leonid? He had to protect the information safely and go back, so he could only go back alone.
Amidst the sirens of the ambulance, Leonid stood there quietly, and then shook his head helplessly.
In the salvage area, the work is extremely busy and efficient. The Jiaolong is very flexible underwater and cuts accurately according to the plan. The picture is directly transmitted back through the camera, so that everyone can clearly see the entire cutting process.
“Report, Mr. Qin, Your Excellency Nicholas, our Zhenhua No. 3 is scheduled to arrive tonight.” After Xu Zhengyang received the news, he came over to report.
"So fast?" Nicholas was also very happy: "In this way, when the cutting is completed, we can lift it immediately. The meteorological department reported that a cold wave will pass through in three days. If we can complete the salvage before then ,It would be great!"
"Yes, we will definitely be able to successfully complete the salvage!" Qin Tao said: "There are so many spectators around us, but we can't let them really see the joke, Popov, what do you think?"
Popov forced a smile and nodded. It was obvious that Qin Tao's words made Popov depressed.
Just as he said this, Nikolai's adjutant also walked in: "Report, we just received the latest news that Pozharsky, an engineer from the Ruby Design Bureau who went to Minzhou to coordinate cutting, suffered a heart attack and has now entered the hospital. The best hospital in Huating for treatment. He brought several entourages to look after him together."
"Sudden heart attack?" Qin Tao was stunned: "Then we must cure him, and we must not let him have any accidents! If he suddenly disappears in our Huating, how can we explain it to the Ruby Design Bureau!"
Nicholas looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes, do you really not know what is going on?
“Oh, what a blessing among misfortunes. I’ll ask the Mingzhou Group to be more careful next time.”
"That's natural. All the treatment expenses will be reimbursed by our Mingzhou Group." Qin Tao said: "Let him live in peace of mind. He will go back when he is completely recovered." Qin Tao said very solemnly: "We Don’t be afraid of spending money, as long as the person can be cured.”
“Report, the middle section of the underwater cutting has been completed!” At this moment, good news came from underwater.
"Great!" Nikolai looked at the display screen: "The cutting is completed, and then it can be lifted! Let Zhenhua 3 be ready when it comes, and start lifting tomorrow. Once the lifting is successful, it will be sent to Moscow immediately Report the good news!”
Mingzhou Group has poached several submarine designers, which should make Moscow dissatisfied. However, since Mingzhou Group is here to help rescue, Moscow can’t say anything, right? Nicholas looked at Qin Tao, this friend had planned everything!
