A Dredger Worth 4 Tons of Gold (Subscribe)
This is a dredger with a length of 140 meters and a width of 27.8 meters. Except that it is a little larger than the average dredger, there seems to be nothing unusual about it.
Zhou Jianyu’s expression was different. If he hadn’t read the data, he would have missed it.
“The digging depth range is 6.535 meters, the total installed power is 25,843 kilowatts, and the designed dredging capacity is 6,000 cubic meters per hour.” This is its data.
Dredging 6,000 cubic meters per hour, this power… The third naval brigade also has several dredgers. The most powerful dredger dredges 1,200 cubic meters per hour, with a digging depth of 520 meters and a water depth of more than 20 Mi can’t work.
It can be said that the combined 12 dredgers of the Third Fleet are not as effective as the Giant Kun.
“This is an artifact for land reclamation.” This was Zhou Jianyu’s first reaction when he got the data of the Jukun.
It’s an artifact, Zhou Jianyu is very sure of this.
At the scene, he may be the only one who knows best.
In the eyes of the 14 members of the Marine Corps who were guarding all around, the Giant Kun was just an inconspicuous dredger, far less important than a warship.
They don’t understand. It’s normal to think so, but Zhou Jianyu knows it well. He knows that the Jukun is much more important than a warship.
About the dredger, or use a professionalThe term is “dredging equipment manufacturing”, which plays a very important role in the construction and maintenance of coastal and inland waterways, the construction of coastal industrial zones, the development of coastal cities, sand extraction, mining, and land reclamation.
Dredging equipment is an important industry in the national economic construction, and the large cutter suction dredger is one of the most important ships in the dredging industry.
However, for a long time, my country’s large dredgers were imported from abroad. In order to obtain high profits from the dredging industry, the relevant foreign dredging ship design and manufacturing companies carried out technical blockades and only provided the whole ship to my country.
Speaking of a historical fact, in 1966, my country introduced a self-propelled raking suction vessel “Jinhang Jun 102” from abroad, which is a dredger that has been eliminated by foreign countries.
Note that the “Jinhangjun 102” is a obsolete, second-hand dredger. Guess how much it cost us?
At that time, we spent nearly 4 tons of gold reserves to buy this obsolete ship.
That’s right, it’s 4 tons of gold.
At such a high price, we still had to buy it. At that time, our industrial foundation was weak and we couldn’t manufacture it. We had no choice but to spend a lot of money. First, we bought an outdated ship, and then slowly imitated it by ourselves, from imitation to independent design. We have been on this road for over thirty years.
Lin Yang is not clear about this history, but Zhou Jianyu is very clear.
He is also a witness. A few years ago, Zhou Jianyu also participated in a dredger designed by a foreign company with a design of 1,000 cubic meters per hour. As a result, after a year of negotiation, the negotiation collapsed.
A foreign company called Lion Big Opening, a dredger with a design of 1,000 cubic meters per hour, offered a price of 3 billion.
Later, we only had to organize our own team of public relations. At present, the dredger we designed and manufactured by ourselves has reached the efficiency of 1,200 cubic meters per hour.
This is no worse than the products of foreign companies.
In comparison, the Jukun ship’s 6,000 cubic meters per hour is really worthy of the word “Jukun”.
“DiDi!”
At this moment, the bell of the dock rang, the Jukun moved, and a tugboat slowly left the dock.
It’s not over yet, there is a second Jukun.
Lin Yang originally wanted to build three ships, but considering that it was too expensive, one would cost 15,000 gold coins, so let’s build two ships first.
Two Jukun ships are enough.
The third ship, the fourth ship… In the future, he did not plan to build it himself, but handed it over to Lao Zhou to arrange for a domestic shipyard to manufacture it.
Half an hour later, the second Jukun was also built and slowly left the dock.
The two Jukun dredgers were towed by tugboats and left the military port.
Sure enough, the dredger was inconspicuous, and it did not attract the attention of the agents of various countries lurking around the military port.
Of course, they are not paying attention right now. An island-building artifact like the Jukun will attract attention sooner or later.
After leaving the military port 10 kilometers, two frigates, plus two fishery ships, escorted the Jukun to Pumpkin Reef, which is more than 500 kilometers away.
The tugboat towed the Jukun and sailed at a speed of only 20 knots, which was not very fast. It didn’t reach Pumpkin Reef until four o’clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Jianyu appeared in the control room of one of the Jukun ships.
He was still holding ribbons and scissors in his hands, and behind him were five or six engineers in overalls.
To reclaim land from the sea, do a simple ceremony before starting the construction.
“Lao Lin, can you say a few words?” Zhou Jianyu pressed the headset and spoke into the headset.
“Old Zhou, I won’t talk about it, it’s up to you.” Lin Yang’s voice came from Er 237 Mile.
Lin Yang kept a low profile.
“Everyone.” Zhou Jianyu spoke, and his voice passed through the topic, and the officers and soldiers on the two Jukun ships and the four escorting ships could hear the voice.
Everyone is listening.
“Many comrades were woken up early in the morning. I know you still don’t know what’s going on. Because of confidentiality reasons, I can’t say more.” Zhou Jianyu explained.
Indeed, the task came suddenly. The engineers and operators on the Jukun were still confused. They had just boarded the ship and were very unfamiliar with the equipment on board.
Even during the voyage, I began to familiarize myself with the equipment on the ship.
There must be a lot of questions in my mind.
“I can only tell you, what are we going to do now?”
Several engineers behind Zhou Jianyu were shocked.
Yes, at least you have to know what to do.
“What we need to do now is to reclaim land from the sea.” Zhou Jianyu paused and raised his voice, “Our task is to connect Pumpkin Reef No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 together within six to eight months. , to build an island with an area of ​​about 9 square kilometers.”
