Zhang Yujie's guess was indeed correct. What Zhou Yan told him on the phone was that it was through the hard work of hundreds of Clover designers that the process design of the Blue Whale had been successfully completed and was just waiting for the expert team from the command center to proceed.
Reviewed.
According to the time schedule, the process design of the four-leaf clover will be completed in three months. However, this is only a rough planning schedule and is also the deadline. According to Fuhai Group's past practice, it is estimated that it can be completed twenty days to about a month in advance.
Unexpectedly, this time it could be done three months in advance. This was definitely beyond Zhang Yujie's expectation.
He knew how complex the process design of the entire Blue Whale was, with various equipment, various pipelines, as well as the unprecedented dual drilling tower system and full hydraulic system, coupled with the cuttings processing system designed by Feng Chenyi,
This all requires a lot of careful and precise calculations.
After putting down the phone, Zhang Yujie breathed a long sigh of relief. The design was a great test for the Blue Whale. Clover had been in a state of tension during this period, and even Professor Qin came to give guidance at intervals.
Now, finally, some phased results have come out, which also means that the entire Blue Whale design work will enter the final stage, which also means that Fuhai Group has a broader design prospect.
This is the best news in recent times.
After Zhang Yujie put down the phone, he sat there and thought about it for a while, then picked up the phone again and dialed Hu Yufeng's number.
Hu Yufeng was inspecting work at the shipyard under the scorching sun. As soon as he got off a drilling platform that was about to be completed, the phone rang.
Hu Yufeng glanced at the number, and his head suddenly swelled. The chief engineer called, and something bad was definitely going to happen. "Chief Engineer Zhang, this is Hu Yufeng. What instructions do you have?"
Zhang Yujie could tell that the noisy sounds around him must be on the drilling platform. He immediately said in a short sentence, "Mr. Hu, let me make a short story short. Today, Director Lu asked when your low-temperature CTOD experiment will be completed?"
"I really can't guarantee you this. I contacted Zhao Jingfu yesterday. Now the welding materials are basically confirmed, but there is a little problem with the process!"
"What's the problem?" Zhang Yujie was a little surprised. According to Zhao Jingfu's welding ability, there shouldn't be much problem with the process, but since Hu Yufeng specifically pointed this out, it will definitely not be an easy problem to solve.
"During the welding process of the F690 ultra-thick plate, pores appeared in the middle part! And after several experiments, the pore phenomenon has not been eliminated!" Hu Yufeng said immediately.
After Zhang Yujie listened, as an old engineer who has been in the offshore engineering field for decades, this phenomenon can only be caused by problems with voltage, current or temperature. Changes in each item may cause pores to appear in the welding gap. Generally,
In this case, the appearance of such pores is caused by improper operation, and the problem is not too big, but there is only one situation with the worst consequences.
This is the current situation. When welding new materials on a large scale, it is necessary to formulate a corresponding process flow, so as to maximize the welding success rate. Once there is a problem with the process flow, the cause must be found, otherwise
Welding failure will increase significantly and cause serious consequences.
"I understand. I will go to Fengyang Shipyard tomorrow to study it together!" Zhang Yujie couldn't sit still for a moment. The appearance of pores is not a trivial matter. It will seriously affect the strength of the welded part and even cause structural damage.
After putting down the phone, Zhang Yujie calmed down his anxious mood. It was really raining all night, and Zhang Dadong's construction schedule problem had not been solved yet. There was another problem with the f690's welding experiment. Now he must concentrate on solving this problem first, otherwise Blue
The construction of key parts such as the Whale's columns and support platforms will be greatly delayed, which is also a huge hidden danger for the entire construction period.
Now the procurement tasks of various equipment need to be put on the agenda, especially the procurement of some important systems. It does not mean that after you place the order, it will be delivered to you a few months or even a year later. All construction periods are required
Rigorous calculations.
Zhang Yujie looked at the pile of various application documents in front of him, all of which required his signature as the commander-in-chief.
He sighed and finished the urgently needed things on hand first. "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" Zhang Yujie muttered to himself to cheer himself up.
He was busy until noon before Zhang Yujie finished signing the large pile of documents on hand. He also received two groups of guests and held a small conference call, all about various problems that had arisen in the Whale Dream Project.
These are all minor procedural matters, just reorganize them.
After having a hasty lunch, and just squinting on the camp bed for a while, the alarm clock rang loudly. Zhang Yujie took a closer look, and it was almost time for the afternoon meeting.
He quickly washed his face with cold water, cleared his mind, and then put all the major system schedules and some important information of the Whale Dream Project into a large bag, and then hurried towards the conference room holding his notebook.
go.
When he arrived at the conference room, there were already many people sitting inside. Everyone greeted him one after another. Zhang Yujie had no time to reply one by one, so he had to bow his hands in unison, and then sat next to Zhang Jue, the secretary to the board of directors.
"General Manager Zhang, I heard that Dadong is back today?" Zhang Jue's information is still very well-informed in the company.
"Yes, did Director Lu tell you? About the construction period!" Zhang Yujie asked in a low voice.
"Just mentioned, this afternoon's meeting is to discuss this. It won't be the news brought by Zhang Dadong, right?" Zhang Jue immediately realized that this meeting was so urgent, something big must have happened.
"Yes! Our superiors require us to complete the construction of the Blue Whale within a year and a half, and at least conduct a main engine load test!"
"Are you kidding?" Zhang Jue was stunned for a moment, "How is this possible? Zhang Dadong didn't agree, right?"
Zhang Yujie smiled bitterly, "It's not something he agrees to or not, but the deadline is directly required by the higher-ups, because the Blue Whale involves too many things in all aspects, including scientific research institutes, marine institutions, enterprises, etc.
I’m doing research based on the development data of flammable ice this time!”
"Then we can't put all the pressure on us. This is a 40,000-ton behemoth. It took one and a half years to build it. This is simply impossible!"
"Don't be so sure. The meeting that Director Lu held today should be regarded as a Zhuge Liang meeting. Everyone will show their talents and see if they can compress the time as much as possible!" Zhang Yujie lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the more difficult thing is still to come.
, there is a problem with the low-temperature CTOD experiment at Fengyang Shipyard, I have to go and take a look in person tomorrow!"
When Zhang Jue heard this, he patted his head and said, "Stop talking, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to bear it!"
"You have to endure it if you can't bear it! Who allowed us to open up this unprecedented process? Judging from the difficulties and setbacks we have experienced, this also shows from the side that this matter is not easy. The Blue Whale will be affected by
The center of world attention!"
"Yes!" Zhang Jue sighed, "It does cost a lot to be the center of attention!"
