Chapter 189 Cutter Suction Dredger
Today's 704 shipyard is in a stage of rapid development, but it faces an urgent problem: there is not enough time to cultivate a large number of professional talents.
Annexing other domestic shipyards has become a very good option, so that experienced workers and technicians can be directly obtained, avoiding the long cycle of cultivating talents from scratch.
This proposal required Lin Chenran to discuss it in person with the Yan Kingdom military.
However, personnel arrangements need to be made by the senior management of 704 Shipyard.
Then Lin Chenran said to Pan Xueming, director of the 704 Shipyard: "Mr. Pan, a large number of skilled workers will be coming in the future. Please lead the senior management of the 704 Shipyard to help make proper arrangements."
Hearing this, Pan Xueming couldn't help but wonder: "A large number of skilled workers?"
He soon understood the meaning.
Pan Xueming sighed secretly: Mr. Lin, his boss, has a great background. If he wants skilled workers, he can easily get them!
Now that the problem of skilled workers is solved.
Next, it was the turn of the senior executives of 704 Shipyard to speak.
Lin Chenran asked the senior executives of 704 Shipyard present to elaborate on their respective work responsibilities, future plans and suggestions for the development of the factory.
The first person to speak was naturally Pan Xueming, the factory director and chief designer of the Aegis guided missile destroyer.
Pan Xueming gave a comprehensive and detailed introduction to Lin Chenran and several senior executives of the 077 Machinery Arsenal about the 704 Shipyard.
Lin Chenran and several senior executives of 077 Machinery Arsenal recorded the useful content.
Especially after the 077 Machinery Military Factory injected a large amount of capital into the 704 Shipyard and "snatched" the Yanguo Navy's guided missile destroyer order, the entire shipyard instantly came to life.
Not long ago, the oil tanker developed by 704 Shipyard was favored by customers, and a relatively large order was placed.
There was also the construction of other civilian ships.
The current 704 shipyard has continuous orders.
…
"Mr. Lin, we want to develop a cutter suction dredger."
Pan Xueming looked at Lin Chenran nervously, clenching his hands and his palms were slightly sweaty.
He didn't know if Lin Chenran would support this idea, and he was full of expectations and uneasiness.
After Lin Chenran heard this proposal, his eyes lit up and he immediately showed strong interest.
Although his main research and development direction is not ships, he has long heard of large engineering equipment such as cutter suction dredgers.
"Cutter suction dredger? This is an interesting project." Lin Chenran said enthusiastically.
When Pan Xueming saw Lin Chenran was so interested in the cutter suction dredger, his heart finally fell and a bright smile appeared on his face.
As long as Lin Chenran is interested, they will likely get enough resources and support to carry out the project.
"Mr. Pan, I am very interested in the cutter suction dredger you mentioned. Can you give us a detailed introduction to its working principle and application fields?" Lin Chenran asked with a smile.
Pan Xueming readily agreed: "Of course! I am happy to introduce the cutter suction dredger to everyone."
Then, Pan Xueming began to explain the structure and working principle of the cutter suction dredger in detail: "The cutter suction dredger crushes the soil at the bottom of the river or seabed through the rotating cutter, and then sucks in the sand through the suction pipe. Pump body and transport it to the designated mud discharge area through the mud discharge pipe.”
He continued to explain: “This kind of dredger has the advantages of high efficiency and flexibility, and can operate in various water environments.”
"It is widely used in fields such as channel dredging, port construction, water conservancy projects and ocean engineering."
"In addition, cutter suction dredgers can also be used in land reclamation, land reclamation and other engineering projects, which are of great significance for improving land use and economic development in coastal areas."
Pan Xueming continued
"With the cutter suction dredger, we can quickly absorb the required river sand from the river to meet the needs of national development."
After Pan Xueming’s explanation, everyone present had a clearer understanding of the cutter suction dredger.
"Mr. Pan, after your introduction, we realized the importance of cutter suction dredgers." "Do you have a design and development plan here?" Lin Chenran asked vigorously.
Ask the other party if they have a design and development plan for a cutter suction dredger.
"some!"
After hearing this question, Pan Xueming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.
He seemed confident in his plan.
The joy in my heart is even harder to suppress than AK.
Then, Pan Xueming showed everyone the simple missile design and development plan of the cutter suction dredger through the projector.
"Mr. Lin, we plan to design three cutter suction dredgers." Pan Xueming made another surprising news, which surprised everyone present.
Before Lin Chenran expressed his agreement, Pan Xueming directly announced that they would design and develop three different types of cutter suction dredgers.
These three cutter suction dredgers are small, medium and large respectively. They have different sizes and functions, but they all have the ability to excavate sediment efficiently.
Medium and small cutter suction dredgers are mainly used for inland river operations. These vessels are flexible and compact and can adapt to the complex environment of inland rivers and complete various dredging tasks.
Large cutter suction dredgers are suitable for marine operations. They have more powerful power systems and greater excavation capabilities, and can cope with the challenges in harsh deep-sea environments.
Although large cutter suction dredgers are powerful, their market demand may be limited.
Large cutter suction dredgers are expensive to build and have relatively high maintenance costs.
Leasing business will become an important way to make profits.
Small and medium-sized cutter suction dredgers have broader market prospects.
With moderate prices and stable performance, private companies will be willing to purchase small and medium-sized cutter suction dredgers.
"Mr. Pan, I have good market prospects for small and medium-sized cutter suction dredgers, but I think it will be difficult to sell large cutter suction dredgers."
A senior executive of 077 Machinery Arsenal expressed his views on large cutter suction dredgers.
Anyway, I am not optimistic about large cutter suction dredgers.
There is no way. According to Pan Xueming's design, the large cutter suction dredger has a total length of 140 meters and a width of 27.8 meters.
This data is quite explosive.
The senior executive of the 077 Machinery Arsenal felt that no company would be willing to purchase this large cutter suction dredger.
The size is too large and the price must be very expensive.
This is not something that ordinary companies can have the funds to purchase.
"Mr. Shen, we can't sell it, we may rent it!"
Pan Xueming expressed his thoughts.
704 Shipyard opens new business directly.
"this……"
"It's not a loss in leasing. You have to know that the cost of maintaining such a large ship is very high."
"Can the rental fee cover the maintenance cost?"
