Born In England

"Long Live in England ()"

In a flash, 2 months passed quickly.

On this day, Liverpool Dock is still very busy.

A cargo ship without a huge chimney approached slowly, which attracted the attention of many people!

"What kind of ship is that? Why doesn't it have a huge chimney?" A sailor exclaimed, pointing to the Flying Fish sailing over the sea in the distance.

These days, whether it is a cargo ship or a warship, it is basically a steam engine, and the steam engine must have a huge chimney.

"Let me see!"

"Hey, I saw it, the flag says Flying Fish?"

"It's the Flying Fish! My God, the Flying Fish is here!"

The pier, these days, people are waiting for the Flying Fish to arrive here every day. Many shipping companies who have already come here to participate in the ship exchange meeting have sent people to wait here, in order to witness the Flying Fish as soon as possible. Really!

"Quick, hurry up and report this news to the boss."

"Go!"

"The Flying Fish is here!"

"Is it the first ocean-going cargo ship powered by a large diesel engine?"

After all, many people know about the various propaganda in newspapers these days!

Soon, Li Lin's Flying Fish docked at the pier.

At the same time, many people were notified and rushed over one after another, and surrounded them one after another!

"Boss, there are a lot of people watching!" Li Zhi looked around, and before they got off the boat, hundreds of people gathered around the shore.

Many people are in suits and leather shoes, so they look like bosses?

"They received the news in advance? How did they know we were here today?" Li Biao was also dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's get off the boat first and see what they mean by coming." Li Lin said.

As soon as they disembarked, a group of people surrounded them, and Li Lin saw several reporters!

"May I ask who is your captain?" A middle-aged man with a big belly stepped forward and asked.

Li Lin looked at the other party's custom-made suit, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"I'm the owner of this shipping company. What do you want from the captain?" Li Lin said flatly.

"Are you Mr. Li, the boss of Li's Shipbuilding Company?" Davis asked with a hint of uncertainty.

"yes."

"Oh, hello, I'm from France, and I'm Davis, the general manager of Mel Shipping Company!" Davis extended his hand to Li Lin very enthusiastically.

Li Lin smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"So you are Mr. Li Lin Li, hello, I'm Brown, from America. I'm the boss of Brown Shipping Company..."

"Hi Mr. Li, I am..."

Immediately, more than a dozen people introduced themselves to Li Lin.

Li Lin also shook hands with each other one by one.

Obviously, the bosses and high-level executives of this group of shipping companies are very interested in Li Lin's Flying Fish!

"Mr. Li, can we go up and visit your Flying Fish?" Davis asked.

"Of course! You are all here to participate in this ship exchange meeting. We should communicate more. I also welcome you to visit my Flying Fish." Li Lin smiled.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

"Walk!"

A group of people followed Li Lin and others to visit.

"Mr. Li, I heard that the displacement is about 5,000 tons?"

"right."

"Hey, wait a minute, I look at this hull, oh no, even the joints on these decks are unique, doesn't it seem like riveting technology?" Brown came up to take a closer look, and then he made a big discovery!

The so-called riveting technology generally speaking riveting refers to two boards with small thickness, by punching holes in their parts, then putting the rivets in, riveting the rivets with a rivet gun, and connecting the two boards or objects together Methods.

Compared with arc welding technology, this method is really not a level!

"Yes, my Flying Fish does not use riveting technology,

But arc welding technology! This is a new type of technology, which can make shipbuilding faster, more compact, stronger, and more practical! "Li Lin explained.

"New welding technology?"

"Arc welding technology?"

"It seems to be invented by Bernardos, right? Isn't it said that it is very unstable? This kind of welding technology is immature." A boss named Rodriguez said in surprise.

"Yes, I was immature before, but I invested a lot of money in in-depth research a few years ago, and I have completely solved this problem. Look, isn't my Flying Fish's first long-distance voyage very good?" Li Lin He continued with a smile: "Oh, by the way, Bernardos is currently working for me."

"so!"

"It seems that this new technology is really good."

"At least it looks really good for now." Many people nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to continue in and have a look."

"In addition to carrying cargo, my Flying Fish has 20 first-class single guest rooms on board, and every two rooms share showers and sanitary facilities..."

After a visit, everyone found that this new welding technology is indeed good, and it looks more pleasing to the eye.

After all, that kind of riveting technology looks like screws, which affects the appearance.

In fact, what they most want to visit is the engine room!

That's right, just look at the diesel engine!

Soon, as they wished, Li Lin took them to visit a wave of diesel engine cabins.

When they saw this huge diesel engine, they were all shocked.

"Oh melon! It's the first time I've seen such a huge diesel engine!"

"It's great!"

"Mr. Li Lin, your shipbuilding company has changed the development history of diesel engines!"

After everyone visited, Davis asked, "Mr. Li, can the Flying Fish really reach a speed of 21 knots?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Lin.

"Of course, we will conduct an on-site test performance at sea in three days' time, and welcome everyone to take a boat experience together!" Li Lin said.

"Oh, that's great!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"Actually, our diesel engine still has great advantages as a power source! First, we only need to consume about 1.5 tons of diesel fuel a day! Traditional steam engine ships need to consume at least 15 tons of coal! In this way, our flying fish The fuel tank of the ship can be greatly reduced, more cargo can be loaded in more space, and our supplies can also be extended..." Li Lin did not forget to talk about its advantages.

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.

"In addition, I would like to tell you a piece of news, that is, my shipbuilding company can not only build cargo ships with a displacement of several thousand tons, we can do tens of thousands of tons, twenty to thirty thousand tons, and we have the ability to build even more Big diesel engine power pack!" Li Lin vowed.
