Super Craftsman

Although I don't know why the boss didn't put close to one billion dollars in his eyes, the project manager said the second question.

"Gas turbine. Boss!" The project director said a little helplessly: "Rolls-Royce's mt30 marine gas turbine is the latest product and is the most suitable in power, but you also know that this latest Gas turbines are designed specifically for military ships, and their blockade of Huaxia, it is estimated that it is very difficult to use this gas turbine. "

"This is indeed a trouble." Guo Tailai heard the words and nodded, touching his chin.

The mt30, which will be officially finalized this year, is the driving force for many warships. The latest technology, it is really not easy for Huaxia to use it. Guo Tailai only mentioned this before, because the latest marine gas turbine collected by the intelligence gathering team has mt30 semi-public information, so Guo Tailai also felt appropriate, and only proposed to use this, but the problem was too simple.

"We have an alternative, boss!" The project manager saw that the boss also agreed with him and immediately said a remedial plan. As a designer, of course, you must have the ability to help the boss solve the problem, not only to find the problem, but also to solve the problem.

"What plan?" Guo Tailai asked back.

"General Power's lm2500 + gas turbine was finalized in 1998. It has a power of 40,500 horsepower, which is close to thirty megawatts. Although it has less power than mt30, it should be sufficient." The project director said quickly: "The lm2500 series of gas turbines are widely used. It is also used on civilian ships, and it should not be difficult to buy it. "

It can be seen that the project team has paid a lot of hard work for this. They not only have the design plan of mt30, but also the design plan of lm2500, and even helped Guo Tai to consider the difficulty of the acquisition, which is quite perfect.

Guo Tailai is very satisfied with this approach of the project team, designed according to requirements, but finds a place where it is difficult to take the initiative to find an alternative solution, giving full play to subjective initiative, very good!

"Good job!" Guo Tailai gave the project manager a thumbs up and exaggerated, then asked a little jokingly: "Is there a solution to reduce costs? Well, the solution to the first problem just now."

"Yes!" To Guo Tailai's surprise, the project manager actually nodded with certainty: "The super aluminum and carbon fiber were replaced with ordinary marine steel, the other materials remained unchanged, although the overall tonnage would increase by several thousand tons. , But the size will not change, the level of luxury will not change, but the cost can be reduced on a large scale. According to our calculations, removing these materials can effectively reduce the cost of 100 million to 150 million US dollars. "

"Increasing tonnage will also obviously reduce the maximum speed, right?" Guo Tailai asked immediately after hearing the statement.

"Yes, boss!" The project manager shrugged helplessly. There was no way. He was not a fairy. He could only admit it with a little regret: "No way. The power will decrease but the tonnage will increase. And the daily cruise fuel consumption will be relatively large. "

Top speed has been reduced, but the cost reductions of $ 100 million to $ 150 million are substantial. So much money saved is enough to build a few hundred meters of yacht.

"So, what's your choice?" Guo Tailai asked with a smile at the project director: "If it were you, what kind of solution would you use?"

"From the perspective of my designer, of course I like the most perfect and most expensive solution." The project manager heard the boss asking about his choice, but he was not polite and directly said his thoughts: "But my Opinion is not important, the yacht is the owner, and your opinion is the most important. "

"Ha ha ha!" Guo Tai came and laughed, "Mr. Mi, I like him! Smart man!"

Mi Feifei also nodded. The project manager was very clear, knew his identity, and kept his own duties, very smart.

"However, boss, which one do you plan to choose?" Mi Feifei is also curious about Guo Tailai's choice. She doesn't worry about the money. Is it the engine, will Guo Tailai choose the next gear?

"I have to ask!" Guo Tailai wasn't sure he could get mt30, so he had to ask specifically.

I picked up the phone and was about to make a call. I suddenly realized that it was still three o'clock in the middle of London. Guo Tai decided to wait. Ask someone for help, and never harass others in the middle of the night.

But Guo Tailai made another call first. The first is to confirm whether the orders for super aluminum and carbon fiber can be completed. These materials are domestic manufacturers, and they are all related to Guo Tailai. Just ask Zhao Xiangbei directly.

"Six thousand tons of super aluminum? One thousand tons of t700 carbon fiber?" Zhao Xiangbei received a phone call and was surprised: "When?"

After learning that it was half a year, Zhao Xiangbei made it clear that there was no problem. The carbon fiber is okay. Although the super aluminum material has excellent performance, the military ordered a small number of samples for experiments in a short period of time, and there will not be a large number of orders.

I had lunch in the middle, and Guo Tailai made several amendments in the afternoon. The most important one was to change the theater to a giant screen. This requires changes in the theater room, and the associated design will also affect the surrounding design, so it will take some time to modify. This is no way. Before Guo Tai came to place an order, it was not detailed in the theater. The designers designed it according to ordinary theaters. Now Guo Tai comes to support the imax screen, and it must change.

There are not many other changes. The most important thing is the structural design, which can ensure sufficient safety and can withstand the high-speed driving of such a large ship, and the difficulty is quite high.

It wasn't until five in the afternoon that Guo Tailai made a call in London.

"Charles!" Guo Tailai's acquaintances in London must have found Charles. Although Rolls-Royce also has acquaintances, it seems that Rolls-Royce, which makes cars, and Rolls-Royce, which produces aero engines, have separated. Makes sense, but not as good as Charles's side.

"I designed one of the world's largest yachts, and you should know this." Guo Tailai was not polite to Charles, and came up to express his thoughts directly: "My yacht wants to use Rollo ’s latest mt30 marine gas turbine. "

Guo Tailai didn't ask if he could, but only said he wanted to use it. If not, it's up to Charles.

"Are you kidding me?" Charles couldn't help speaking for a while when he heard Guo Tailai's words: "That's Roro's latest gas turbine, which is used on warships."

"Trust me, a 15,000-ton superyacht with high speed and the largest in the world." Guo Tailai was seriously puzzled: "Is there any better advertising effect than this? Consider this, I am It is a civilian ship and has no military use. "

"I'll ask Luo Luo's thoughts." Charles did not directly refuse, it seems to be moved by that advertising effect.
