Li Cang laughed silently and said, "Our country has studied the technology of building ships directly on the site without using a dock.  . In my impression, the exploration of the No. 3 offshore drilling platform is to use the flat-ground shipbuilding technology. However, 10 years have passed, and our country has built more and more docks, and flat-ground shipbuilding seems to be a little unable to keep up. Moreover, what is the use of this to increase the speed?"

"Exploration No. 3 does not use real flat-ground shipbuilding technology." When Sucheng was studying the professional course on oil storage and transportation, he came into contact with some construction techniques of LNG ships and tankers, and said in a general way: "The flat-ground shipbuilding technology I mentioned should be combined with the section shipbuilding method, preferably the giant section shipbuilding method, adopt the large and modular method of hull components to complete the shipbuilding work on the flat ground. The ship will not be launched at all before the construction is completed, so that it can be free from the influence of the docks and the ship platform, and can also invest more manpower and material resources."

What he said was not very clear, but Li Cang understood it. Due to the restrictions of cranes and other equipment, Exploration No. 3 was actually installed on the water surface. It was not so much a flat land shipbuilding as a water surface shipbuilding.

He is a ship expert who can become an academician in the future. He first had some sensibility for this upcoming new technology and asked: "If there is no dock, large-scale construction is indeed an advantage, but the method you mentioned, first of all, how to solve the problem of ship launching?"

"Place rails on the flat ground, let the built ship lean on the unpowered tugboat on the shore, and then drag the tugboat off the shore. After the tugboat sinks into the water, the hull will surface." What Su Cheng said was almost all the information in his memory.

Li Cang fell into deep thought.

Just when Su Cheng thought there was something wrong with the phone call, Li Cang suddenly woke up and asked, "Dr. Su, are you in the local port? I'll talk about it in the past."

"I'll ask someone to buy you air tickets." Sioux City needs a ship expert, a real expert, than ever.

There are actually two types of experts in the world. One is a rigorous and scientific expert who essentially solves problems through mathematics. The other is a brick tycoon who is waiting to die, and essentially solves problems through imagination. The latter is like a mouse, not only ruining pots of soup after pot, but also having amazing fertility.

The reason why China's diplomas in the 1990s was because of the lack of real experts. The most young and strong group of people, but because of their experience in the 1970s, did not learn anything. Occasionally, two guys who got away with it can only dominate the country. In industries like ships or oil, which require global competitiveness, it is not enough to see.

Therefore, although Dahua Industrial has been so high-end that it can directly find academicians, Sucheng still chose a rare variety like Li Cang to cooperate with.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Cang and his two assistants arrived in the port successfully.

Su Cheng went to greet him in person.

Sitting in the car, Li Cang couldn't wait to ask: "Does Su Dong have all the designs for building ships on the flat ground?"

"I have it. However, this technology should not be difficult." Su Cheng said this because the teacher said this when he was in college.

At that time, the associate professor who taught oil storage and transportation said with regret: Flat-ground shipbuilding is essentially an exquisite design. If you break a layer of window paper, you can get huge benefits. As a result, you have registered a patent by foreigners. Even if we see the situation outside the window, we can't use it.

College boys are either tall, rich, handsome, or angry young men. Su Cheng heard it very seriously at the time, and until now, he still remembers that the layer of window paper was the problem of the ship launching the water.

When the boat is in the dock, it is very convenient to get in the water, but it is not that easy to get on and off the water on a flat site.

Domestic Exploration No. 3 is the final lifting completed through water operations. It is very difficult and has a low fault tolerance rate, and it cannot be used to produce larger ships.

Using unpowered tugboats and sleeper rails can solve the problem of drainage relatively easily.

It was because Li Cang was full of interest in this plan that he rushed over. Seeing that Su Cheng could not provide more information, he said regretfully: "The weight, volume, the gravity and buoyancy of the hull will affect the safety of ship launching. If Dahua Industrial has not conducted specific experiments, it may not be used directly in construction."

"How about using the No. 202 ship for experiments?" Su Cheng said and introduced.

Li Cang shook his head and said, "For the same ship, there is probably no difference in speed between flat land shipbuilding and dock manufacturing. The advantage of using flat land shipbuilding is that it can save the ship's time in the dock without having to build it and wait in sections to go to the dock. Therefore, by building multiple ships at the same time, the flat land shipbuilding method can be used."

"Then use the No. 201 ship for experiments." Su Cheng was talking about the ship ordered by Dahua Transportation Company. The two ships are of the same type. In order to speed up the No. 202 ship, No. 201 has slowed down the construction speed.

Li Cang naturally would not refuse. There was a 10,000-ton ship for experiments. This kind of thing was dreamt of every ship expert. Even if he focused on basic research, he would not give up this opportunity.

However, looking at Su Cheng's "melancholy" smile, Li Cang felt a little embarrassed and asked: "You said that the expected delivery time of Boat 202 has been delayed. Will it delay you too much if you use Boat 201 for experiments?"

"Our total number of workers is enough, but there are fewer backbone workers. The 201 ship can be done as fast as possible. Although the 202 ship cannot be delivered on schedule, we cannot stop. The flat-ground shipbuilding method is regarded as a technical reserve and will work next time."

After hearing what Su Cheng said, Li Cang couldn't sit still. He thought for a long time and said, "Actually, the No. 202 ship is not completely out of the opportunity. There are still two months left."

“68 days.”

"I can help you find some senior mechanics."

"The current situation... If I poach people from China Shipbuilding and waiting for shipyards, I am worried about the morale of Dahua Shipbuilding's own employees."

Li Cang knew about the trap of the China Shipbuilding and hurriedly said, "I have no direct relationship with China Shipbuilding. In fact, some senior ship workers do not belong to China Shipbuilding."

“Eastern-distance is not possible.”

"It's not ocean-going."

"Oh? Where are there senior ship workers?" Su Cheng became interested. What they lack now is senior technicians, especially professional ship workers. In some places, they could do it quickly, but in order to wait for a small number of senior technicians, the overall speed was delayed. According to the eight-level work system that Dahua continued, the 7th and 8th-level ship welders are the most lacking. With the end of segmented manufacturing, more vacancy will be needed for the overall manufacturing of ships.

Li Cang smiled and pointed at himself, saying, "In the school, our school has a small boat yard for students to practice and internship. Although they all make small boats, the workers' level is quite high, especially those high-tech workers, there is definitely no problem in working on ten thousand tons of freighters."

Su Cheng nodded and knocked his head with just one sentence after listening to his first sentence: "Why didn't I expect. Idiots from the Human Resources Department!"

The school is a public institution. Within the Chinese system, its status is significantly higher than that of a factory, and it is a nice and comfortable position. The professional title of senior engineer in the school is equivalent to a professor or associate professor, and his career growth is also quite good.

It is not that easy for Dahua to poach them, but it is easy to borrow them.

Because the school's experimental shipyard actually has no necessary work. It is a small but full-time product. Students' internships can be fully put into Dahua Shipping Industry. Although those free labor is annoying, college students in 1992 are somewhat obedient... On the other hand, the school in 1992 has just begun to bear the baptism of the market economy, and Dahua Industrial has to borrow people and does not have to pay too much price.

As long as you borrow a shorter time, Dahua's own workers will grow up.

Senior technicians all grow up at work. As long as a welder is not stupid, he can always weld a level of six or seven in welding for several kilometers. No school can provide them with so many materials for practice, but factories that keep taking orders have job opportunities.

Su Cheng sincerely thanked Li Cang and immediately started to move.

With Dahua's current resources, we can contact those schools normally, and there is no need for Sucheng to come forward.

Three days later, the first batch of senior technicians from the school appeared at Dahua Shipyard. The speed of the No. 202 ship also quietly accelerated.

After Li Cang was settled and he had sufficient power and resources to study the flat-ground shipbuilding method with Ship 201 as an experimental ship, Su Cheng finally freed up his hands to review the poaching incident of the Chinese ship.

At the monthly board meeting in mid-November, Su Cheng said without hesitation: "While Dahua Shipbuilding enters LNG Ship, it will inevitably erode the traditional field of China Shipbuilding. China Shipbuilding sets traps to poach us, rather than their counterattack against us, it is a inevitable thing. Although the incident suddenly caused us some trouble, it is also beneficial to wake up earlier. Now, the Strategic Department must make plans in the near future to deal with the challenges that China Shipbuilding may launch."

Huo Chang also said: "No matter when we master the technology of LNG ships, before and after this, we have to do a lot of ordinary ships to practice, and at the same time balance the costs. The current profit of China Shipbuilding is mainly concentrated on freighters of 20,000 to 150,000 tons. If we enter the ship industry, we will definitely oppose it if we don't say it in our mouths."

Su Cheng nodded and said, "We must give a firm counterattack. If they think we are easy to bully and all pounce on us, it will be troublesome."

"Strike back into the ship?"

"Break back at Zhan Zhifang!" Su Cheng waved his arm and said, "Whoever comes forward will hit him."

"Okay!" Dahua's board of directors is still mostly young, and when it comes to fighting, they are all so excited.

Only Zhong Zhigen asked: "How to fight back?"

"Zhan Zhifang's work includes fighting for orders in the country. We snatch his orders."

Zhang Chao asked in surprise: "We can't make even if we grab the order."

"It was not possible before, but Professor Li Cang's research has made progress. Judging from the situation of the No. 201 ship, this is indeed the case. However, our first batch of goals are still on small and medium-sized ships, focusing on accumulating experience." Sucheng still made a decision based on commercial considerations. Small and medium-sized ships have little impact on the medium-sized ships, but they have a good promotion effect on Dahua Industry, and it will also make Zhan Zhifang feel uncomfortable.
