Chapter 813 Busyness in the New Millennium
Fortunately, the reaction force of the impact brought the Nassimov back to the right position. At this time, its bottom also began to contact the seawater. The excellent design allowed it to sway left and right in the seawater for a few times, but it stabilized, but PD- Floating Dock No. 50 was completely hopeless. It sank quickly before everyone's eyes and disappeared on the water.
“No, no!” Ivan exclaimed, with a sense of powerlessness in his voice. This is the treasure of their 82 ship repair yard. If this thing sinks, how will the ship be repaired next? How can they make money if they don’t repair ships?
Nicholas was also frightened, but at this time he could only be thankful: "Fortunately, the cruiser is still there."
His focus is different from that of the ship repair yard. The first thing he values is the Navy's property. The Nassimov cruiser is one of the few large warships that can be used by the Navy. If something happens to this warship, then he will There was no place to cry, and he even had to take responsibility for this accident.
Now it is just a floating dock that has been sunk, and Nicholas can still accept it.
He apparently did not realize the importance at this time.
After a lot of trouble, the sun was already setting. The Nassimov cruiser, which had survived the disaster, temporarily parked on the side of the dock. Everyone began to study countermeasures in the dilapidated conference room of the ship repair yard.
“Our floating dock must be salvaged, but it will cost about two million rubles,” Ivan said.
“Spending so much money? Why bother? Why not replace it with a floating dock?” Nicholas asked.
“This PD-50 is our only floating dock that can repair 10,000-ton warships. The other floating docks are all several thousand-ton class.” Ivan said.
Nicholas frowned: "I remember that ten years ago, we had at least hundreds of floating docks, and there were more than 20 floating docks with a capacity of over 10,000 tons."
In the era of the Red Empire, everything was prosperous. They wanted to build and repair ships, so there were many floating docks.
"Yes, but that was ten years ago. Now, the only ones in our country that are above 10,000 tons are PD-50." Ivan said helplessly: "The past era is really nostalgic."
They miss the past era, but they can’t go back!
“In other words, this floating dock has sunk and we must salvage it. Otherwise, we will not be able to continue repairing the ship?”
Ivan nodded sadly.
"Zaitsev! What are you still doing? Arrest the people from the Power Supply Bureau, especially the director." Nikolai's words were full of murderous intent: "They must pay for the losses of our navy!"
This accident was caused by many factors. The PD-50's built-in power system was damaged, so we temporarily used external power. However, at a critical moment, the chain failed and the power supply bureau actually shut down the power supply! Although the lock will not cause damage to the floating dock, the cause still comes from the floating dock itself, but after all, it is directly caused by the Electricity Bureau.
So, this debt must be settled on the Power Supply Bureau, and the people there must pay for it!
Zaitsev took the order and called back ten minutes later.
“The person has run away and we are chasing him!”
The Power Supply Bureau never thought of provoking a big shot like Nikolai, nor did they think of just turning on the power and charging electricity bills. As a result, the floating dock actually sank!
Can you not run away after stabbing such a big trap?
“Humph, it’s useless to run away, seize all their property as compensation!”
“Your Excellency Nicholas, we don’t seem to have the authority to do this.”
"Why don't you have the power? This is a debt dispute. Of course we have the power to seize their real estate first. The court procedures are slow. By the time the court issues the relevant procedures, they will have already transferred the property. Something happened. I'm responsible!"
So, Zaitsev over there took action and quickly seized all the real estate. He originally thought he could recover some losses, but unexpectedly, the power supply bureau was also an empty shell, with very little real estate and a lot of debt. Even if they were The real estate has been seized and there is no way to make up for this loss.
Although Murmansk is a frost-free port, it is also very cold here. Seeing that the project could not proceed, Qin Tao did not stay here anymore. The Chinese New Year was about to come, so of course he had to go home.
Bazarov looked lonely. He originally wanted to follow Qin Tao to Dongfang to see what happened to Dongfang's comprehensive electric propulsion for the whole ship. But now that the maintenance work is far away, he can only go back to the ruby design. bureau.
The capital of the motherland was also freezing cold, the north wind was howling, and the whole earth was covered with snow. Qin Tao and others returned to Princess Tomb, Zhao Ling went home directly, and Qin Tao came to Huanglou. Unconsciously, another Years have passed!
Qin Tao said with emotion.
"Mr. Qin is back? It doesn't seem to be going too well this time. We are also looking forward to seeing the design drawings of the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser." A leader said with a smile: "But don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. This time Maozi's floating dock has sunk. If they want to continue repairing the Kirov-class cruiser, they can only send it to us in the East for repair, right? We want to see, there are many opportunities."
“That’s right, Mr. Qin is really good at this!”
Hearing the compliments from everyone, Qin Tao was speechless for a while: "Everyone, I have nothing to do with this kind of thing you are talking about. How could I sink their floating dock? This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yeah? There was still disbelief in everyone's eyes.
"I just went over to observe. The main reason for the sinking of the floating dock was the aging of the equipment. It is like this in the whole Da Mao. What does it have to do with me." Qin Tao said: "Besides, the big guy in Da Mao is very capable now. I If I do anything, he will definitely find out. If I want to continue working with Da Mao in the future, I have to be honest. If I do something, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
“This is a symbol of Mao’s decline. Mr. Qin, do you think that if Mao sells the Kirov-class, can we get one back?”
Qin Tao shook his head: "What age is this, and you are still staring at Lao Maozi's junk? If we need it, why don't we start building it ourselves? Lao Maozi's Kirov-class designs are primitive and backward, and they are modified The cost is no less than rebuilding it. Does the Navy want it? If so, we can design it at any time."
Ten years ago, the Navy looked at Lao Maozi’s Sovremenny-class destroyer Liushui. After all, it had a displacement of 8,000 tons, and the largest Luda-class destroyer in the country was only more than 3,000 tons. But what about now? The navy is already depleted and is still so hopeless. Why are you greedy after looking at Lao Maozi's second-hand broken ships?
"The displacement is too large and our navy doesn't need it." Wu Shengli said: "The current destroyers are enough. However, if the Kirov class can be sent to us for modification, it would be good to visit it. Back then, When this warship came over, our navy also confronted them."
In the 1980s, the No. 2 ship Frunze traveled thousands of miles to serve in the Pacific Fleet. When it passed the Eastern coastline, it was closely monitored by the Eastern Navy. In order to protect its own interests, a warship even bravely ran into it and forced The Frunze turned around and raised its gun barrels to indicate that it was passing harmlessly.
Although the navy was weak back then, it was not afraid of strong enemies. Now look, the situation has changed.
"I don't know about this either." Qin Tao said: "Lao Maozi values the Kirov class very much and may not be willing to send it to the East. However, Lao Maozi's floating dock has sunk. If they want to renovate it themselves, it is estimated that they can only We can use the method of building a boat on the beach, but if they don’t find a way to salvage it, there will still be big problems in the future.”
“What’s the big problem?”
"When the aircraft carrier is undergoing mid-term maintenance, there will be no floating dock available." Qin Tao said: "The PD-50 floating dock is the only floating dock that Lao Maozi has that can repair the aircraft carrier. With the way Lao Maozi uses it, it cannot be used. The Kuznetsov will be due for repairs in a few years."
“Okay, when that time comes, they will have to ask us for help.” The big guys were very excited.
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Qin Tao shook his head: “Don’t forget how the Chaori King was modified. Maybe Lao Maozi will use the original method by then, and save as much as possible.”
“President Qin, you need to provide Lao Maozi with comprehensive power for the entire ship. This is our most advanced technology.” Someone raised a critical question: “Will this cause leaks?”
The integrated power of the whole ship is the most important system for our own side, and it is also an important equipment for future warships. If it is used on the aircraft carrier of a big dog, the big dog will definitely not let the Americans see it. It is the same as the stealth aircraft, but it is not necessarily given to the big man. Who knows if someone will sell core secrets to Americans for money.
Furthermore, I heard that Mao had already sent people to work with him, maybe he was planning to get the secrets of this system.
Qin Tao smiled: "I provided this system to Lao Maozi mainly to meet the gas turbine transformation plan. It is called integrated electric propulsion for the entire ship. In fact, it is not very smart at all. In fact, the gas turbine drives the generator to generate electricity. The machine then provides power to the propulsion motor, and the excess power is transmitted to the entire ship. The whole process is very low-level of intelligence. The most complicated part of our system is power distribution, which is not available on them at all, so you don’t have to worry. "
The most core thing will not be provided to them. It is just a simple modification plan. The purpose is to sell 40-megawatt gas turbines and verify its own generators and electric motors. Lao Maozi is a test product.
Everyone was stunned.
Thinking about it, I was worrying too much. How could Mr. Qin show these key things to others? Those for personal use and those for export are definitely not on the same level.
“If Lao Maozi gives up this modification, will the project of cutting and transporting wood from Lao Maozi stop?” Some people are also worried.
“You guys still care about timber? Our navy wants to do business?” Qin Tao was curious.
"Of course not. We just think it is a good idea to import timber from Lao Maozi. In recent years, our country has paid more and more attention to environmental protection. We must maintain a certain forest coverage and cannot cut down casually, so we cut down Lao Maozi. Trees are the most suitable. They not only meet our environmental protection requirements, but also can obtain a large amount of wood. Mr. Qin, do you have any ideas about starting a furniture company or something?"
“Our Mingzhou Group is a high-tech military-industrial group that deals in high-end products. Furniture companies are too low-end and we only sell them,” Qin Tao said.
Qin Tao really doesn’t like these three melons and two dates.
However, he doesn’t like it, but someone can.
Zhao Ling came home and saw Qin Haiyang, who was already in the senior grade of elementary school. After not seeing him for a while, his son had grown taller again. He was the same height as Zhao Ling. It was estimated that he would surpass Qin Tao in two years.
"Best friends? How old are you? Do you have any best friends? Please pay attention, you can play, but don't play all the time, which will delay your studies."
"Yes, I know." Qin Haiyang ran out after saying this: "I'll pick up my classmate at the gate."
“Your classmate is not from our compound?”
“Of course, our school has also been reformed. It not only accepts college students and has extra degrees, but also recruits students from outside.”
Zhao Ling watched her son run out and turned to look at her mother: "Mom, how is Haiyang's studies going this semester?"
“This child is very interesting. He spends more time playing than studying, but he always comes first in every exam. It seems that he has inherited Taozi’s excellent genes and has a smart mind.”
“Mom, are my genes bad?”
“Yours is good too. But there is still a gap between it and Taozi’s.”
The two of them were chatting and laughing. Qin Haiyang had already returned with his classmates, and not only his classmates, but also their parents.
“Dad, go back, I can’t lose it here.”
"It's okay. Dad will send you to your classmate's house and then go back. When you're done playing, make a phone call and dad will come pick you up." The middle-aged man in a suit and tie, carrying large and small bags in his hand, looked like he was not just here to see his son off. For play.
"Welcome, welcome." Zhao Xiu'e greeted her. Even for the sake of her grandson, she couldn't neglect her classmates' parents.
"Hello, I heard from my son that he has the best relationship with Qin Haiyang in school. I didn't expect that Qin Haiyang's family conditions are so good. My son is so high up." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
“They are all children who go to school together. There is no difference between them. They study hard together, become talents, and build the motherland when they grow up.” Zhao Xiu'e said.
"Yes, the future of the motherland depends on them. By the way, I am the person in charge of the Lin Group, and this is my business card." The middle-aged man put down the large and small bags in his hands and handed them over respectfully. Business card: "Our group is incomparable with yours, but we recently heard that we have negotiated a ten-year timber logging contract with Damao. I wonder if our group can take advantage of this."
It turned out that the drunkard was not interested in drinking, and actually used his children to clear the way. However, seeing that Qin Haiyang and the Lin family's son were already playing happily, Zhao Ling could not say anything else.
“This project has encountered some surprises and has not officially started yet. However, I have accepted the business card. If we want to cooperate, we will give priority to you.”
“Thank you. I’ll take my leave then.”
The other party didn’t say much, just got the point across.
Zhao Xiu'e wanted to send her away, but the other party insisted on refusing and walked out on her own.
Children’s inner world is the purest and should not be mixed with these things. Zhao Ling looked at the two children, frowned and walked back. Just as she sat on the sofa, another call came.
"Mom?" Zhao Ling looked at the number and quickly picked it up. It was Qin Tao's mother calling: "I'm waiting for Brother Tao to come back and discuss when to go back to Mingzhou for the New Year."
"No, Mom is not asking you this. I heard that you and Da Mao have negotiated a ten-year tree logging agreement. We have some furniture factories in Mingzhou. They are very interested and came to me. I can't save my face, so I just I’ll give you a call and ask if I can share some of the harvested wood with them.”
“It depends on what Brother Tao wants. I’ll tell him when Brother Tao comes back.”
“Well, I’m sorry that I have to bother Taozi with such a trivial matter.”
“Mom, please don’t say such unreasonable things. The New Year is coming soon anyway, so it’s not a big deal.”
Originally, Qin Tao was just inadvertent, but he didn't expect so many people to care. It seems that the domestic control of wood is very strict. When these furniture manufacturers heard about imported wood, they were all tempted and used various connections to find out. State Group.
Those who can directly establish a relationship with Qin Tao will not miss it, and those who cannot establish a relationship will find other connections, and they are all asking how to distribute this batch of wood.
By the time Qin Tao finished the meeting in the Huanglou and went home with his father-in-law, Zhao Ling had summarized all the companies she had contacted and reported to Qin Tao.
Looking at this dense list, Qin Tao felt a little overwhelmed.
“These people are real, aren’t they just some wood, so in demand?” Qin Tao felt helpless.
"At present, our domestic furniture market has also developed. In the past, every household was using woodworking to make furniture, but now it has transitioned to the era of branded furniture." Zhao Ling said: "Domestic furniture is divided into two parts. The southern part is made of furniture. The Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Chengdu are composed of three major plates, forming the Southern Iron Triangle, which belongs to the first furniture camp. We also have a furniture base in Mingzhou. The north is composed of the three major plates of Northeast District, Beijing-Tianjin District, and Northwest District, forming the North Iron Triangle belongs to the second furniture camp. Due to domestic environmental protection and wood control, their production costs are getting higher and higher, so they urgently need new sources of wood. When we negotiated with Lao Maozi, we just casually proposed it, but we solved the domestic problem big problem."
"I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I can contribute to our country's economy." Qin Tao said: "Since so many companies have needs, our group has set up a department to be responsible for connecting with these companies. This can also be regarded as logistics. Let's leave it to the transportation company to save us a headache."
Qin Tao is most accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper. He will never do anything that can be done by others. Anyway, this timber business may seem like a big deal in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it's just a trivial matter.
"Okay." Zhao Ling nodded: "There is another thing I need to report to you. There is news from Ma Gong that the first Golden Sun electric car has been officially developed..."
"Really? This is really good news!" Qin Tao said: "When we return to Mingzhou for the New Year, we can go to Huating to take a look at this car."
“What Ma Gong wanted to do was to drive this first car all the way from Huating to the capital as a gift to the motherland,” Zhao Ling said.
"A gift? What kind of gift is he giving? It's almost embarrassing if he really drives to the north." Qin Tao said: "Let him stay quietly and wait for us to attend the new car launch ceremony. Then we can send someone to take the car from Huating Drive to Mingzhou and promote it along the way."
Qin Tao proposed an electric vehicle plan a few years ago, and he proposed many advanced ideas at that time, such as directly using 21700 batteries, which would be larger, use fewer cells, and redesign the vehicle as a whole. The battery pack is placed on the chassis to lower the center of gravity, etc. Due to the limited energy of Ma Gong, the research and development of this kind of electric vehicle is slow. The first thing to be matured is the three-electric device. Qin Tao also bought several HMC6470 station wagons and asked them to install them. After testing the three-electric system and slowly maturing, the first Golden Sun electric car was finally built.
The car was built a month ago, but Qin Tao has been busy, and it is only now that they have time. They hope to drive it over and show it to Qin Tao.
Of course this won't work. The cold weather now is a serious test for electric cars. Electric cars are not suitable for the severe cold in the north. This is determined by the basic principle: the battery is a chemical device. The lower the temperature, the slower the chemical reaction. !
If we really get to the north, we could only have a range of two to three hundred kilometers, but now we can only have a range of one hundred kilometers. We stop and go, either charging or on the way to charge, and we are not allowed to be told what to do?
You know, at this time, a group of people in the island country are working on hydrogen energy. They claim that hydrogen energy is the ultimate route every day. Once their electric cars make a fool of themselves, they will definitely seize the opportunity.
Qin Tao doesn’t want any accidents to happen.
It's like a company in later generations promoting that electric cars can also run on plateaus, and then being photographed with several extra-large power banks behind them. This kind of publicity is purely negative.
"Okay." Zhao Ling nodded: "Then I'll tell them."
“Well, is there anything else?”
There is no peace even when I get home, there are so many things to deal with.
“There is nothing else.”
Qin Tao nodded, okay, he can finally rest for a while.
“Dad, Dad, are you back? When are we going home?” At this moment, Qin Haiyang came in. He had already seen off his classmates, and there was only one person left.
“Do you miss grandpa?”
“No, I want to see big ships, Dad, I will also build ships in the future... Well, Dad, I miss my grandpa too.” Qin Haiyang’s IQ and EQ are obviously very high.
“You will also build ships in the future?”
“Yes, I want to build big ships and spaceships. You also said that our future is the stars and the sea.” Qin Haiyang said excitedly.
“Okay, I have great ambitions. If I want to realize my ideals, I have to study more. How about taking advantage of the winter vacation to study all the content for the next semester?”
"I have learned it a long time ago. I read it a few times in my spare time, and then I remembered it all. Those books are not interesting, but your shipbuilding book is interesting."
“Really? Then tell me the stress calculation formula.”
“I can’t understand those.”
Calculus, how do primary school students understand it?
Qin Tao smiled and took out a book: "This is a book on calculus. You should read this book first."
