Alien Industrial Tyrannosaurus-Rex
Chapter 197: Can you do whatever you want with technology?
The Pluto is just a fully loaded refrigerated ship with a displacement of 4,900 tons.
This type of ship is almost the smallest in Lu's shipping fleet. Other ship types are 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 50,000 or even 80,000 tons.
The largest refrigerated ship owned by the Lu family, with a full load displacement of 83,200 tons, can be said to be a veritable giant.
Since refrigerated ships require a lot of electricity, they often over-install engines.
For example, this refrigerated ship with a displacement of 4,900 tons has four diesel engines installed. The total power output reaches 30,000 horsepower.
Simply speaking, there is no problem in terms of power. enough.
What Lu Lingqi wants is to reduce costs.
She plans to replace four Panshi 500 diesel engines.
According to the data given by Cao Zhiyuan, each diesel engine consumes 50 liters of fuel per hour, and four diesel engines consume only 200 liters per hour. The cost can be greatly reduced.
The cost of 200 liters of diesel is more than one thousand yuan. This already includes all fuel consumption.
If it is pure electricity consumption, the maximum is 700 yuan per hour.
"Now, our diesel engine fuel consumption has been reduced. Only 20 liters per hour." Wang Bu said slowly.
"That would be better." Lu Lingqi said cheerfully, "our shipping costs can be reduced again."
"Miss Lu." Wang Buan said deliberately, "Do you often go to the ocean?"
"Almost once a month," Lu Lingqi answered casually.
"Then you must have rich experience in sailing at sea?"
"you could put it that way."
"Okay. I introduce a friend to you. She is my friend. She also wants to go to sea. It's just ocean fishing."
"That might be more dangerous."
Lu Lingqi shook her head. She is not interested in marine fishing. It always feels too dirty and too dangerous.
There are no fishery resources in the calm waters. A large number of fishing boats gathered together, even if they were there, they would have been cleaned long ago.
Only those sea areas that are more dangerous and have relatively harsh environments have abundant seafood.
The problem is that not everyone can enter those places.
The Lu's shipping fleet will try to avoid dangerous seas every time it sails.
She would not do risky things.
However, if Han Xuewei wants to develop, she has to take risks.
The Bering Sea, Antarctica, South Indian Ocean, South Pacific and other places are relatively rich in fishery resources. The problem is that the climate in these places is also very bad.
There are rough seas 24 hours a day, and the icy Bering Sea won't talk about it. The South Pacific alone seems to be peaceful. However, when the storm appeared, if the fishing boat couldn't dodge, it would go directly to see the Sea Dragon King. The number of fishing boats swallowed in the South Pacific every year is still very impressive.
And some sea areas called restricted areas, until now, no fishing boat dared to approach it.
For example, the Barrney Islands near Antarctica is a restricted area for fishing boats.
All the fishing boats trying to enter this area have disappeared without a trace.
Even expedition ships, scientific research ships, exploration ships, etc., are easily afraid to approach the Barrney Islands for fear of accidents.
The waters around Heard Island in the South Indian Ocean are also very dangerous. Not only are there inexplicable winds and waves from time to time, but also a lot of ice floes suddenly appear from time to time. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed. Over time, there is no need, and there are no ships near these places.
"If she must go, what advice do you have?" Wang Bu'an said.
"I have three suggestions." Lu Lingqi said bluntly.
"Please speak."
"First, at least a huge ship of more than 10,000 tons. A ship that is too small can't withstand the storm. A ship of more than 20,000 tons is better. A helicopter is better."
"and then?"
"Secondly, at least three ships operate. It is best to have an auxiliary medical ship. The displacement of each ship is required to be more than 10,000 tons."
"and then?"
"Third, build the hull according to the level of the icebreaker and equip it with sufficient power."
"it is good."
Wang Bu'an nodded in satisfaction.
Very simple suggestion. But it is very practical. Especially the last point is very important.
Many people actually ignore the last one.
The biggest feature of icebreakers is that they are very capable of escape.
Working in harsh sea conditions, the most basic requirement is self-protection capability. The self-protection capability of the icebreaker is the strongest.
Discuss and sign the contract.
The total cost of this renovation is 20 million yuan.
Xinhongyang Shipyard is responsible for supplying four Panshi 500 diesel engines, as well as gearboxes, drive shafts, propellers and propellers.
Miss Lu unexpectedly heard about the tuna on the road and decided to replace the propeller.
The original refrigerated ship had an economic speed of only about 15 knots. The maximum speed is about 20 knots.
At such a speed, the most afraid of encountering pirates.
The speed of the pirate ship is extremely fast. It is often above 25 knots. Some even exceed 30 knots.
In the Gulf of Aden, the speedboats of Somali pirates can even exceed 40 knots. Merchant ships encountered them and had no chance to escape.
Lu Lingqi hopes to increase the speed of the Pluto frozen ship to more than 40 knots.
This speed can basically get rid of pirates.
Even if it is impossible to escape, such a high speed is enough to prevent the pirates from boarding the ship.
Generally speaking, as long as the speed of the ship exceeds 30 knots, there is no way for outsiders to forcibly board the ship. Helicopters are not useful.
It was seen in TV movies that the helicopters forcibly landing on the bridge section of the merchant ship were all based on the slow speed of the merchant ship. The speed of those merchant ships usually does not exceed 15 knots. If it exceeds 30 knots, the helicopter has no chance to find a landing point. Once it gets close, there will be a crash and the plane will be destroyed.
"Master Wang, how many days will it take?" Lu Lingqi said.
"If you don't replace the refrigeration equipment, it will only take five days." Wang Bu'an replied.
"Chief worker Wang means, can I still replace the refrigeration equipment for free?"
"If Miss Lu needs it, you can."
"Really?"
"Really."
Wang Buyan said affirmatively.
Why is it so generous?
Mainly Wang Bu'an discovered that the freezing equipment of the Pluto is actually a bit old.
It adopts a central refrigeration method, relying on five large-scale cold shrinking machines for air cold and heat exchange.
He wants to replace all five compressors.
It's OCD again!
Seeing the uncomfortable place, I can't help but change.
Does the compressor have technical content?
of course not.
You only need to copy roughly and modify the details.
The fundamental measure is to use new materials. In this way, the cooling effect is better and energy consumption is reduced.
The key is that its life span will be greatly increased.
It just so happened that these five compressors have already exceeded their shelf life.
"Chief Engineer Wang, how long is your compressor warranty?" Lu Lingqi asked with interest.
"Ten years." Wang Buan answered without thinking.
Is there a problem?
Of course there is no problem.
The compressor he manufactured has a life span of more than ten years.
If there is no horrible external impact, normal use will not be a problem for 30 years. This is basically the life of a refrigerated ship.
"Need to extend the renovation time?"
"No need."
"it is good."
Wang Bu'an instructed Mihara Wu to start work.
The first thing to do is to disassemble all the original power system.
New power system, remote production.
Compressors are also produced at the same time.
In order to avoid changing the line, Wang Buyan copied five compressors that were basically identical.
Lu Lingqi did not leave.
She actually wanted to witness the entire transformation process.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
For such an important matter, she must be present in person.
If the Panshi 500 is really that magical, the Lu family's fleet will come in line for transformation in the future.
However, the Xinhongyang Shipyard seems too small?
A 10,000-ton ship can't get in at all.
"Master Wang, do you have other large docks?" Lu Lingqi asked worriedly.
"Not yet." Wang Bu'an shook his head, "However, there will be some in the future."
"But there is no room for expansion around!"
"Yes!"
This is what Wang Buyan needs to consider.
Around the Xinhongyang Shipyard, there is indeed no suitable place to expand the dock.
If you want to receive more modified ships, you must find a way to buy them, or build a larger dock.
Based on the current situation, it is best to build a 500,000-ton dock in one step.
What if there is really a huge ship of 100,000 tons that needs to be rebuilt?
That may be something.
Of course, this issue is not anxious for the time being.
I can't be anxious.
It is best to let Cheng Kailong help solve it.
Cheng Kailong has the most information. He must know which large shipyard needs to be sold.
Wang Bu'an was focusing on supervision work when he suddenly heard someone calling himself.
It was Han Xuewei who came.
At the same time, Pang Xihua and a few others arrived.
One of them was a young man in his twenties with a straight body, and he knew at first glance that he was not an ordinary citizen. He is carrying a large suitcase.
There is also an old man. It looks a bit like Einstein. The beard is also thick and white.
Wang Bu'an waved to them, saying to wait a moment.
"Pang Xihua?" Lu Lingqi recognized.
"Other people? Do you know?" Wang Buan said casually.
"The old man is called Sheng Huainan."
"anything else?"
"Sorry~www.wuxiaspot.com~I don't know anyone else."
"Thank you."
Wang Buyan confessed a few words before getting off the boat.
The faces of Pang Xihua, Sheng Huainan and others are very strange. It feels like a monster. They feel that everything around them is familiar and unfamiliar.
The ship types are very familiar. But many aspects have been modified beyond recognition.
Especially the propeller. Did not follow the standard at all.
Such a rough transformation can only be done by this kind of private shipyard.
Don't know how they passed the quality inspection?
Can you do whatever you want with technology?
Fourth today.
