Chapter 248 "Jiaolong" deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible
When the executives of the 704 Shipyard present heard the news, their hearts sank suddenly, as if a huge boulder suddenly hit their hearts.
The Yanguo Navy purchased such a small number of deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles.
This means that the 704 shipyard is likely to be unable to recover even the huge initial investment in design and research and development costs.
What is even more troublesome is that this kind of deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible is almost blank in both the domestic and international markets, and there is no other buyer to share the cost and risk.
Thinking of this, Lin Chenran couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up, put on a pitiful look, and said to Mr. Zhang who was sitting opposite: "Mr. Zhang, although our 704 Shipyard is very willing to help The country has taken on the important task of designing and developing this deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible, but the purchase quantity is really too small.”
"We, the 704 Shipyard, directly poured a large amount of funds into it."
"You also know that our factory has just started to improve."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other senior executives of 704 Shipyard present nodded in agreement, expressing their complete agreement with Lin Chenran's view.
Faced with everyone's complaints and complaints, the leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy instantly became a little at a loss.
At this time, Mr. Zhang frowned slightly and sighed softly.
After thinking silently for a while, he finally made up his mind and said decisively: "Okay! Our navy will pay for this!"
Lin Chenran is indeed right. There is almost no market share for deep-sea exploration and rescue submersibles.
Even if it is designed and developed, there is a high probability that it will not be sold.
Pan Xueming on the side looked anxious, stared at Mr. Huang in front of him, and asked: "Old Huang, when will the extreme deep-diving test of our navy's nuclear submarine be carried out?"
This requires giving an approximate time to arrive at the 704 Shipyard.
They must deliver the deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible to the Yan Kingdom Navy within the specified time.
Mr. Huang fell into a brief thought again. After about a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and replied decisively: "According to the current plan, if nothing unexpected happens, in the second half of next year , our nuclear submarines must begin extreme deep-diving tests.”
"Once the test is successful, nuclear submarines will be quickly deployed to the entire maritime waters of our country and assume important national defense tasks."
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Huang seemed to have remembered something, and added: "If your 704 shipyard can speed up and efficiently build a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible, the extreme deep-diving test will be advanced."
Today's international situation is rapidly changing and complicated, and there is really no room for the Yan Kingdom's navy to show any delay or delay.
"That means we will design, develop and manufacture a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible within one and a half years and deliver it to your navy."
Lin Chenran said calmly.
The senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran turned around and looked at Pan Xueming next to him, and the two looked at each other.
"No problem, our 704 Shipyard guarantees to complete the task."
Lin Chenran patted his chest and answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Huang then put forward his various requirements for this deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.
The senior executives of 704 Shipyard recorded the request put forward by Mr. Huang.
……
Watching the convoy of senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom's Navy drifting away and finally disappearing at the end of the horizon, Lin Chenran turned around and hurried into the conference room with the senior executives of the 704 Shipyard with a solemn expression. The theme of their meeting was to discuss how to create a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible that meets the requirements of the Navy.
After entering the conference room, Lin Chenran coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence in the room.
He glanced at everyone present, and then said slowly: "The Navy has given our 704 Shipyard a task - to build a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible with excellent performance, reliability and practicality."
"Next, I hope you can speak freely and express your opinions. Regarding the specific requirements put forward by Mr. Huang for this submersible, you can express your truest thoughts without reservation."
As soon as Lin Chenran finished speaking, there was a slight discussion in the conference room.
A moment later, a senior executive spoke first: "I think the most critical point of a deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible is that it must have strong enough pressure resistance to withstand the daunting and huge water pressure in the deep sea."< br>
"After all, the deep-sea environment is extremely harsh and the pressure is beyond imagination. If the submersible cannot withstand such water pressure, everything will be impossible."
Another participant then added: "Yes, in addition to the ability to withstand pressure, the internal floor area ratio is also one of the crucial factors."
"Because we need to consider how many soldiers trapped in the sunken submarine can be rescued at one time."
"Once a submarine unfortunately sinks to the bottom of the sea due to various unpredictable reasons, the amount of oxygen that its internal oxygen supply equipment can provide is very limited, and as time goes by, harmful gases will continue to accumulate."
"We need to race against time to launch rescue operations and rescue as many soldiers in danger as possible."
Hearing this, Lin Chenran nodded slightly in agreement and motioned for others to continue expressing their opinions.
As a result, more voices began to sound in the conference room. Some were concerned about the power system of the submersible, some emphasized the reliability of communication equipment, and some put forward higher requirements for navigation and positioning technology...< br>
The entire conference room was immersed in a lively and tense discussion atmosphere.
……
Lin Chenran motioned to the assistant on the side to record everyone's useful suggestions.
Later, they will be handed over to the chief designer of the "Jiaolong" deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.
Because the design and development of the Jiaolong deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible is not very difficult.
Lin Chenran and Pan Xueming both intend to let the top young naval engineers in the 704 Shipyard lead the team in design and development. This will not hold an internal deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible competition within the factory.
Let the young engineers in the factory form their own design and development teams to design the "Jiaolong" deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible.
Of course, this competition has time limits and personnel restrictions.
The best deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible design may become the last one.
After the announcement, a group of young engineers from the 704 Shipyard were gearing up. They all wanted to show off their talents, gain recognition from the top management, and pave the way for their future.
Who doesn’t want their future to be bright?
Who doesn’t want to be appreciated by superiors?
This deep-sea exploration and rescue submersible design competition is the best opportunity.
