"Yes, according to our survey, among the Japanese merchant ships that were sunk and damaged, 12 are of repair value, and the other 31 have no repair value. However, if the ship is scrapped, according to the current

With the iron price, considerable profits can also be made, but these will have to wait until the salvage of the sunken ship and shells is completed!"

Fang Zicheng's words stunned Li Zicheng.

"Salvage shells?"

"After careful analysis, the value of a 12-inch artillery shell exceeds 1,000 yuan, and the value of a 14-inch artillery shell is closer to 2,000 yuan, so it is of great salvage value."

Fang Zicheng answered truthfully, but Li Zicheng just listened to his explanation quietly, and only asked with a smile after he finished speaking.

"How many warships are worth salvaging?"

"Well, according to the preliminary diving survey of the Hanoi, the Settsu should have salvage value. However, if it needs to be salvaged, further diving surveys are needed to determine the salvage plan."

Because the Salvage Department is subordinate to the Port Administration Department, and the Port Administration Department is more concerned with salvaging those merchant ships, so as to use salvaged merchant ships to replenish the merchant fleet, it is not very concerned about the salvage of warships, except for a few turrets that belong to the company.

In addition to instructions, the salvage office will naturally devote all its energy to salvaging the merchant ship.

"Oh, that's right..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Zicheng looked at Fang Zicheng seriously and asked.

"If I remember correctly, the tonnage of the two warships is more than 20,000 tons! With the equipment we have now, if the two sunken ships are really valuable for salvage, can they be salvaged from the water?"

Listening to the manager's question, Fang Zicheng repeatedly thought about the equipment and salvage capabilities of the salvage office. Although the salvage office has salvaged more than ten sunken ships since its establishment, the tonnage of the small ones was only a few hundred tons, and the large ones were only a few hundred tons.

The merchant ship just salvaged is less than 4,000 tons, 20,000 tons...

"The manager, although the salvage department has no experience in salvaging large battleships, there should be no problem with the equipment. Most of our salvage equipment now is the most advanced salvage equipment from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. According to the design salvage capacity of the equipment, if the turret is removed

If so, there should be no problem.”

He said there was no problem, but Fang Zicheng was muttering in his heart from time to time. As someone who is familiar with salvage operations, he clearly knew that salvaging two 20,000-ton warships was an unprecedented challenge for the salvage office. The workers

Without experience, he himself also has no experience.

"Moreover, this time we got a large dock with a floating dock in Qingdao. The floating dock is well-equipped and has advanced facilities. It can lift a ship of 30,000 tons. If the floating dock is used in conjunction with other salvage equipment, we can completely lift this ship.

Two sunken ships were salvaged!”

When Fang Zicheng was making an introduction, Li Zicheng nodded from time to time. There was no problem with the equipment, but there was only one problem, that is, experience. It was fine. Anyway, this was just a windfall. Even if the salvage failed, it should be accumulated.

Experience! I think so in my heart, but I can’t say it with my mouth.

"Well, you should stop everything now and concentrate all your efforts to salvage these two warships for me,"

Looking at Fang Zicheng sitting there, Li Zicheng then said.

"Cheng Mu, pick up these two warships and complete their repair work. The days when China had no sea defense are almost over. The two battleships cost tens of millions. If you can pick them up, you can

It has made the first contribution to China’s reconstruction of coastal defense!”

Rebuild the Navy!

Jing Luushi's words only made Fang Zicheng's breath tighten, and his whole body suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility on his shoulders. He quickly answered.

"Yes, Commander, please rest assured that we will definitely salvage these two warships!"
