Chapter 257 Shipyard List
Wang Bin nodded, feeling very satisfied with the situation of this shipyard, although in terms of military ships, the company can only build warships below 10,000 tons, or even offshore warships below 5,000 tons, or even about one or two thousand tons.
However, even with such capabilities, there are not many private shipyards that can be used in the entire China. After all, most of other private manufacturing plants can only manufacture small warships with tonnage of only a few dozen or even hundreds of tons, as well as some patrol boats. According to this tonnage, this shipyard can be regarded as frigate-level even in this era.
"Mr. Wang! Although I have not built a warship of more than 3,000 tons tonnage, according to my estimate, our shipyard wants to build a warship of about 3,000 tons. With our technology, if it is just a hull, it will be a problem of meter. However, we have no good idea in terms of engines.
After all, the engines used in our shipyards are basically civilian, not military. At the same time, our shipyards do not have the ability to manufacture ship engines. They are basically engines purchased from major engines at home and abroad. Military-grade engines are not bad at home and abroad, but domestic ones are not bad, such as engines below 3,000 tons, we can still buy them.
And more than 3,000 tons is difficult. As for importing foreign military ship engines, there is no need to think about it. It is impossible for them to sell it to us."
However, it is precisely because of this that as early as two years ago, our shipyard also invested a lot of money in the research and development of ship engines and achieved some results.
For example, the engines used by the 1,000-ton warships manufactured by our shipyard are not made by us, but the engine designs are all designed by our shipyard and commissioned by other engine production companies.
Although, the engine we designed ourselves, let alone the same type of engine abroad, even compared with the engines produced by the domestic official large engine groups, our engine's performance is far from comparable.
At the same time, we are also working hard on large-tonnage, high-power large-scale ship engines. Unfortunately, even though our shipyard has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this regard, it is still unable to develop its own engine.
After all, compared with domestic official marine engine manufacturers and international marine engine manufacturers, our shipyard started to start in this regard too late, and it was impossible to reach their level within a time period.
Fortunately, our shipyard is also developing the emerging engine technology internationally, that is, electric-driven engine technology. In this regard, we have also achieved some results and have begun to be used on some small-tonnage ships in our shipyard for testing.
According to the test data, the effect is still very good. It not only can greatly and effectively improve the ship's endurance, but also has much easier work in maintenance than before using diesel engines, turbines and other engines.
The most important thing is that in terms of navigation costs, a lot of savings are saved. After all, using electric power drive, the energy conversion rate is not comparable to that of previous diesel engines and steam turbines." Cui Long said proudly.
"Yes, the situation in your shipyard is much better than what I thought. However, in the future, our shipyard will focus on the engine-related directions. As for the research and development of marine diesel engines and steam turbines, although we can also carry out some research and development, I don't think it is too much.
After all, in this regard, our country still has a few engine manufacturers that are good in large ship engines. If necessary, we can purchase products from these engine manufacturers. In the future, I think even if our shipyard wants to purchase high-power military ship engines, there will not be too many problems." Wang Bin said.
......
For a whole day, Wang Bin had a meeting with the senior management of the shipyard, and for the next few days, Wang Bin had been staying in the shipyard to sort out the clues of the shipyard. In order to improve the shipyard's shipbuilding capabilities, Wang Bin also purchased another 100,000-ton super-large water press from Tony.
Of course, the arrival of this water press made many people in the shipyard very excited. After all, this is a 100,000-ton water press! This is no longer a measure of money. After all, equipment like this is an important equipment for building super-large ships.
Although Cui Long and his shipyard had a hydraulic press before, and it was a 10,000-ton water press, even so, many parts such as ships with a tonnage of more than 50,000 tons were still insufficient and they had to be sent to other official specialized institutions for processing.
Now that this super-large hydraulic press of 100,000 tons is available, their shipyards don’t have to ask others for help. No matter how large the ship parts are, even the important components of an aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons, can be easily forged with the capabilities of this hydraulic press.
At the same time, because Wang Bin purchased this hydraulic press for the shipyard, the staff and technicians of the shipyard have a deeper understanding of Wang Bin's ability and are more confident about the future of the shipyard.
Because as a person in ship manufacturing, whether it is Cui Long or others in the company, even ordinary workers in the shipyard, they know how difficult it is to get such a hydraulic press. After all, no matter which country, such a tonnage water press can definitely be called a magical existence in the country. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to sell an unofficial enterprise.
You know, Cui Long knew very well how much the shipyard paid to get the 10,000-ton hydraulic press that they used before.
Of course, although Wang Bin has been busy with the shipyard these days, he is also paying attention to the situation of Tiangong Technology headquarters and Tianyuan Optics and Special Materials Company, a subsidiary of Tiangong Technology, in real time, and is particularly interested in the matter of the large bypass ratio turbofan engine developed by them.
