Hong'an Steel Building Conference Room.

A relaxed negotiation is underway. Both parties to the talks are Zhang Yujie, chief engineer of Fuhai Group, and Han Fangyun, director of Hong'an Steel Materials Research Institute. This is a technical talk. The main purpose is to determine the specifications, quantity and duration of Fuhai Group's F-class high-strength marine steel.

The executive vice president of Hong'an Steel and relevant personnel from relevant ministries and commissions also participated in the talks.

For Hongan Steel, although this is a contract that does not require a bidding, it is not so easy to win this contract.

Zhang Yujie made several requirements on behalf of Fuhai Group: "Director Han, the leaders of relevant ministries and commissions are here today, so I don't need to say anything more. The time given to us by superiors is very tight, so the time for research and development of raw materials can only be compressed. I hope to see results within three months!"

"Three months?" Han Fangyun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked puzzled. "General Engineer Zhang, you also know that F-level high-strength marine steel is currently the top material among marine steel. Needless to say, it is in China, just looking at the world, are there many companies that can be developed and produced? You can imagine how difficult it is. This time is really too urgent!"

Zhang Yujie also smiled bitterly, "It's not that we are anxious, but that the time given by the superiors is like this. This is not only our Fuhai Group's business. The Blue Whale is responsible for the mining, development and development of China's combustible ice. What we see is a drilling platform, and the country needs overall considerations. Various scientific research institutions, as well as relevant ministries and commissions even need considerations in the ocean, maritime and international public opinion!"

Han Fangyun shook her head slightly and frowned, "General Manager Zhang, you really have a big problem for us!"

"I know that our Hongan Steel has such strength and has the tradition of overcoming difficulties, so I am confident that Director Han can defeat this problem!"

After hearing this, Han Fangyun sighed, and then whispered to Mr. Wang behind her, saying that she was preparing to ask for policies. Although the materials possessed this strength, if time was so tight, the cooperation of various resources was indispensable.

The two whispered for a while, and Mr. Wang nodded in the end, as if he had agreed to Han Fangyun's request.

Han Fangyun finally said: "General Engineer Zhang, we can agree to your request and develop F-class high-strength marine steel within three months!"

"Okay!" Zhang Yujie immediately stood up, "Thanks to Hong'an Steel for his efforts. All the marine steel required for this Whale Dream Plan will be exclusively provided by Hong'an Steel. In addition, can we send staff in the factory to be fully responsible for this contract!"

Tens of thousands of tons of steel are nothing to a Hong'an Steel with an annual output of tens of millions of tons, but this batch of steel is not ordinary steel plates, but marine steel with high technical content.

Especially for drilling platforms like Blue Whale, the quality of steel plates is the lifeline. If problems arise, they will be devastating results.

Therefore, it is normal for the factory staff to be responsible for the quality of steel plates, and there are no special problems.

The only problem is that Zhang Yujie proposed that during the research and development of F-class offshore panels, Fuhai Group needed to send personnel to participate. The main reason was that the super-thick offshore panels needed to undergo crack tip opening and displacement tests at minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is a rigorous experiment called ctod.

Only the plates that have undergone this kind of experiment can effectively prevent the crack propagation of steel plates and slow down the crack propagation speed, adding double-layer protection to the safety of the platform.

Without good welding capabilities, offshore boards cannot resist the raging environment in the South China Sea and cannot achieve the ability to travel unlimitedly around the world. This is a huge hidden danger for the Blue Whale.

After thinking for a while, Han Fangyun finally agreed to the request made by Zhang Yujie. Of course, the confidentiality of the entire R&D data and process naturally requires strict implementation. After all, this is the first time that such a high-tech offshore board has been developed in China.

After three days of detailed talks, Fuhai Group and Hongan Steel signed a production contract for the construction steel plates of Blue Whale. Hongan Steel needs to provide Fuhai Group with various steel plates represented by F-class high-strength marine steel, with a total weight of more than 40,000 tons, of which nearly 5,000 tons of super-thick plates with a thickness of 100 mm. This is also the first time in the world to use this specification of super-thick plates on a semi-submersible drilling platform. Blue Whale is the first to be created.

Both parties are very satisfied with the signing of the contract, especially in Hong'an Steel. Although Fuhai Group has put a lot of pressure on the date, it also gives them the opportunity to develop higher-level steel varieties, and can also occupy a place in the market in the field of high-quality ultra-high-strength marine steel, and can even promote the localization process of high-quality marine steel. This is also the situation that relevant national departments want to see.

After the contract was signed, even if Zhang Hang and others were completed, they would follow Zhang Yujie back to Longbin and urgently need to purchase other materials.

Zhao Jingfu and Wei Yuhui also started packing their luggage and preparing to go back. For them, the business trip for more than half a month has been going on a business trip, except for taking a bus and reversing. There is basically nothing they have to do, and they don’t know what the group company asked them to come out for.

Just as he was packing up, Zhao Jingfu saw Zhang Hang walk in.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll get it done quickly, and it's going to be fine soon. Wei Yuhui's side should be almost the same!" Zhao Jingfu hurriedly said.

"Xiao Zhao, General Manager Zhang just sent an email asking you to stay as a resident staff member!"

"Ah?" Zhao Jingfu was stunned, "No kidding, I'm just a welder, how can I hold such an important position? Besides, I don't know material forging!"

"That's right, it's you, General Manager Zhang, who specifically proposed to let you stay. I guess the main reason is that ctod. If you directly participate in the development of marine steel, it may enhance the welding performance!"

Zhao Jingfu also knew that letting him come out this time was for the effect of material welding. The strength of the F-class offshore steel that Hong'an Steel is now developing is as high as 690mpa. Once there is a problem with welding, no matter how high the strength is, it is useless. The thousand-mile dike is destroyed by the ant hole. Only when all areas of the Blue Whale meet the design requirements can they ride the wind and waves and gallop across the sea.

Since that's the case, Zhao Jingfu nodded immediately: "I will definitely live up to the company's high expectations. Together with Hong'an Steel's partners, we will develop qualified materials to help build the Blue Whale!"

"Okay, if you have any needs, you can contact the company directly. In the afternoon, General Secretary Zhang's Trade Union will discuss detailed data with Director Han. If you participate, you can put forward your own ideas when necessary. After all, everyone is getting high in firewood!"
