Chapter 342: Our unique patented Kun A natural gas carrier
The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day.
In the Mingzhou Shipyard, flags are fluttering and colorful flags are fluttering. Warning cordons have been pulled up long ago. There are crowds of people everywhere. You must not go to places you shouldn't go. Soldiers are guarding there and are always vigilant.
However, most people can't go wrong, as long as they go to the brand new outfitting wharf just built by Mingzhou Shipyard.
The crowd here is the densest, including representatives of shipowners, government officials, as well as reporters and spectators who came to join in the fun.
On the slipway, on a newly erected platform, there was a long table covered with red cloth, which looked so festive.
"Hello, hello, distinguished guests and friends, I am very happy today. We are holding a grand ship delivery ceremony here. This time, we can deliver nine ships at one time, which is enough to show the huge scale of our Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.
, there are many customers. Now, please let our group CEO speak!"
Qin Tao was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and looked energetic. Countless reporters' cameras were focused on him, taking pictures. Under the illumination of the flash, Qin Tao walked to the microphone.
"Fifteen years after we opened the door to the country, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the country. We no longer eat from the same big pot and live off orders from superiors. Everything has embarked on the road of market competition." Qin Tao's speech has great significance.
Depth and breadth.
"Reform has caused us pain. During the most difficult period, we were unable to pay wages for several months, and our only working capital was taken away by the previous factory director, and its whereabouts are still unknown. However, we Mingzhou shipbuilders are not discouraged.
, did not lose confidence, we gritted our teeth and continued to find a way out. We started from scrapping ships and developed step by step to today." Qin Tao said: "We are grateful to our superior leaders and this new policy. We have stepped out of our own way.
Road, we have grown from a third-tier shipyard in China to the largest shipyard in China! Today, we delivered nine ships at one time, which is very rare in China and even in the world! Needless to say, it is rare in China and even in the world! Here
, we are grateful to the motherland, our superior leaders, and countless ordinary workers! It is your hard-working hands that have supported the glory of Mingzhou Group!"
A burst of warm applause broke out.
"Now, the delivery ceremony officially begins, the first aircraft carrier, the Chakri-Narubet of Siam! This is our Mingzhou Shipyard and the first aircraft carrier built in our country!"
small book booth
Rakul stood up from behind the red cloth table and walked towards the microphone.
"On behalf of the Siamese Navy, I am here to receive this aircraft carrier. We are very satisfied with this aircraft carrier. It will be a symbol of the strength of our navy!"
"Excuse me, Lord LaCour, what aircraft do you plan to operate?"
"Excuse me, will you purchase Sea Harrier?"
"Excuse me, how does the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier compare with the Invincible class?"
A group of reporters had already begun to ask questions. If a large number of security personnel had not been present, they would have crowded in front of us.
"Our aircraft carrier will use a special carrier-based aircraft. The carrier-based aircraft is currently undergoing various tests and training. It will not be long before our aircraft carrier will be fully manned. We believe that its combat effectiveness
It is no weaker than the Invincible-class aircraft carrier, and it will play its role in various fields."
"Dear journalists, please don't worry. Later, we will set up a special session for reporters to ask questions. Please do not interfere with the normal progress of our delivery ceremony." Qin Tao reassured them.
"Now, we are proceeding with the delivery of two natural gas carriers." Qin Tao said: "At present, we have delivered eight MOSS tank natural gas carriers. This type of ship is known as the Mount Everest of the shipbuilding industry. However, we will definitely not
Therefore, we will just rest on our results and sleep. We have long discovered that MOSS tank natural gas carriers have many disadvantages and their operating efficiency is not as good as that of membrane-type ships. Therefore, we will produce membrane-type natural gas carriers next."
"Mr. Qin, will you always use GT's patented technology?"
That’s the question I’ve been waiting for!
Qin Tao smiled: "Of course not. Our first membrane ship uses GT's patented technology. However, our company is an innovative and developing company. If we can overcome the difficulties of MOSS tank natural gas ships by ourselves, we will
It can also overcome the difficulties of membrane-type ships. At present, our company has designed a brand-new membrane-type liquid cargo fence system and has also applied for relevant patents. Just like MOSS tank natural gas ships, we will have all the patent rights.
"
The pot exploded all of a sudden.
Originally, the delivery of nine ships at once was already explosive news, but now, when they heard that Mingzhou Group had a patent for a brand-new natural gas ship, they became even more excited. This news is even more valuable!
Currently, the world's natural gas tanker patents are controlled by two companies. They don't have to engage in production. As long as they get the patents, they can be full of oil. Other shipyards don't want to do it themselves, but they simply don't have this kind of technology.
Technology, I didn’t expect that Mingzhou Group actually conquered this technology.
How can this be?
"This is impossible!"
Someone shouted immediately.
"Impossible?" Qin Tao smiled: "In our shipyard, we invented a brand-new catamaran with a speed of up to fifty knots. We are the 150,000-ton Capesize bulk carrier that other shipyards around the world dare not build.
Two ships have been built and are currently operating well. The one that will be delivered later is an upgraded 200,000-ton bulk carrier. Who else in the world dares to build it except us? As for the field of military ships, we have built aircraft carriers and modified them.
We have built an aircraft carrier park, equipped a 40,000-ton supply ship, and are also responsible for the construction of our new generation of domestic destroyers and frigates. What is there that we cannot build? In your eyes, which one is possible?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have said it just now, please stop talking. If you continue to ask malicious questions and interfere with our ship delivery ceremony, you will be asked out."
.”
The reporters stopped asking questions. There will be a press conference later anyway. If you ask questions now, it will be bad if you are kicked out.
However, they were still shocked inside.
At this time, the shipowner representatives who received the ship were also very shocked. They did not expect that Mingzhou Group actually had its own patent. So, does that mean the price will be lowered? Do they want to order?
Forget it, this thing needs to be stable, and I can't be the first to try something new.
The delivery ceremony was still going on. A famous shipowner representative spoke and received the huge key representing the ship: a model made of foam. The whole ceremony was very lively.
Woo, woo!
On the pier, the whistle blew.
The huge aircraft carrier USS Chakri started first. The gas turbine engine drove the propeller, pushing the warship slowly away.
The reporters all turned to the dock and began to occupy various vantage points, taking pictures of the spectacular scene of the warship leaving. The huge deck and the towering island all represented its identity. Although it had a small displacement, it was still an aircraft carrier.
!
The two natural gas ships also slowly left the dock. They will embark on their maiden voyage and begin a long operating career.
Bulk carriers are the largest in size. Just like oil tankers, they have big bellies. This bloated body makes them move very slowly. However, in the eyes of shipowners, such big-bellied cargo ships will
It is a tool for making money.
Now, only Mingzhou Group in the world dares to produce bulk carriers of this level. In actual operations, there have been no accidents. Although the technical difficulty is not high, the requirements for strength are very high. It is said that Mingzhou Group has made many improvements to its ships.
The place uses high-strength steel plates, and the price does not increase when the quantity is increased. It is really affordable.
The catamarans moved very quickly. Although they were the last to set off, when they started, they immediately became a beautiful scenery on the sea. The water jet propeller at the tail pushed out water spray, and the wide hull moved at high speed on the water.
Moving forward, riding the wind and waves, we quickly reached the front.
These four ships are all built for guests of the Oriental Pearl Tower and Magang. Now, the orders for this kind of catamaran cruise ship are gradually increasing. Compared with other cruise ships, it has a large usable area, and because the hull is wide, it swings left and right.
The extent is also smaller than that of ordinary ships.
The four luxury cruise ships may not be large in size, but their profits are considerable.
All the ships were off duty. After filming the scene, the reporters thought of something and headed towards the office building of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group again. The conference room there was quickly filled to the brim.
However, Qin Tao did not appear.
"Our relevant patent applications have been completed. The patent number given by the United States is 0, the European one is 0, and the domestic one is..." Yang Dawei finished all this, and then said: "However, we have not given this kind of liquid cargo fence system
Come up with a name. Our current project number is 018. How about we call this liquid cargo fence system Z-1?"
Choosing names is the most troublesome thing. Qin Tao can't even think of a name for his own child, let alone a name for this kind of system.
Although he doesn't have the creativity to name it, he has the power to review it!
Designers rack their brains to make design drawings and send them to the leaders for review. The leaders will definitely find a lot of faults. I want a high-end atmosphere, not like this! What is a high-end atmosphere? Of course it is you
Think for yourself! Otherwise, what would I want you to do?
The leader can veto it again and again and remain silent in this pleasure.
Qin Tao doesn't have that kind of special hobby, but for him, the requirements remain unchanged.
"Since we Chinese invented it ourselves, I want to use our own code name." Qin Tao said: "To be in line with international standards, we need an English name, but we also need a domineering Chinese name. Now, first
Think of this Chinese name."
Qin Tao made a request.
Chinese name?
Everyone racked their brains.
"How about calling me Mingzhou No. 1?"
“Too tacky.”
"Your name is Qin?"
"My ancestors are not that good at face."
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun." At this moment, a voice sounded.
Qin Tao looked over: "Sure enough, college students are educated, and they are called Kun. This is our first model, and it is called the Kun Type A liquid cargo fence system."
"Mr. Qin, we haven't finished talking yet." Although Yang Zhaoxiang was praised, he did not give up his idea: "It turned into a bird, and its name is Peng. So, how about we combine it and call it Kunpeng?"
"Yes, I think this name sounds nice." Qin Baoshan also spoke. Although he didn't understand it, he definitely looked very powerful.
"Okay, okay, let's call it Kun. We swim in the water, not fly in the sky." Qin Tao said, "Okay, that's it. Those reporters are already waiting impatiently. Let's go over."
Qin Baoshan was not angry after being denied face: "Okay, I will listen to you. It's not bad to call him Kun Jia. In the future, he can also be called Kun Yi and Kun Bing."
Kunpeng's name comes from Yun-20. Qin Tao doesn't want to steal the name of this transport aircraft, that's all.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet! Our President Qin will be here soon. Anyone who makes any noise will be disqualified from staying here. When questions are asked later, everyone must also pay attention to discipline."
The conference room finally became quiet.
Qin Tao did not come in. A few people came in first and pulled up the banners. The ink on them had not yet dried.
"Kun A liquid cargo fence system, press conference?"
A reporter read it out.
"Kun, what is Kun? This word is really weird."
"You don't even know that Kun is a monster that lives in cold areas in the north."
Everyone started talking again.
"Quiet, quiet!"
After it became quiet again, Qin Tao's figure finally appeared at the door.
"Hello everyone, since everyone is so interested today, we will just hold this press conference. We have named our new patented film-type liquid cargo fence system Kun A type. This Kun, if you don't know
If so, go back and check, don’t ask, otherwise I will laugh at your low knowledge.”
The reporters burst into laughter.
"Mr. Qin, is this system a copycat of someone else's? Just like a MOSS tank natural gas ship?"
Many people's expressions changed. What is this guy doing? He asked so sharply when he came up?
"Very good, which newspaper company are you from?"
"The Times."
"Okay, the laws there are sound, and there are many relevant provisions regarding the right of reputation. This first time, I think you did it unintentionally. If you dare to ask a second time, I can guarantee that you will be brought to court.
Subpoena, we will spend millions on specialized lawyers, sue you for damaging our reputation, ask you to apologize and claim one pound."
The reporter immediately turned pale.
As a newspaper, they are not afraid of being accused, but they are afraid of entanglement.
Compensating for one pound shows that the person is not here for money. Spending millions shows that the person has money and can continue to pester. This is what they fear most.
Qin Tao was very particular about what he said. If he directly said that he wanted to sue the other party, it would inevitably not arouse the public outrage of these reporters. These people are all penmen who rely on this to make a living. If the wording is not accurate, then they may be punished on the spot.
These reporters were crusaded against.
He made it very clear that this was an unintentional act and he would not report it. He would only take it seriously if someone continues to mess around with this issue.
This saves face. Reporters are all smart people, so you have to save face for them.
"We must pay attention to evidence in everything. Our MOSS tank natural gas ship was independently developed by us. We have all the patent rights. Therefore, as you can see, no patent company has come to trouble us, which means we have no problem.
, as for a certain company being accused, it has nothing to do with us, so please don’t take advantage of it. If we are accused and lose, you can report it. If everything is normal but we are slandered, then our group’s legal department will not
Let it go. Now, everything depends on the evidence."
Qin Tao finally gave his explanation.
"As for our Kun A-type natural gas carriers, there is no patent infringement problem, because we have registered relevant patents in the United States and Europe. The structure of our natural gas carriers is completely different from those currently sailing.
"
The slide projector opened, and a structural diagram appeared in front of the reporter's eyes.
"Our natural gas carrier uses 304 stainless steel for the inner layer and Invar steel for the outer layer. In this way, compared with the current membrane type natural gas carrier, it saves half the amount of Invar steel, so the cost will be greatly reduced.
, we will be committed to providing users with lower-cost natural gas ships so that users can obtain the best profits."
A product that combines stainless steel and invar steel, this is definitely the first in the world! Even the patent office can't stop them.
"By adopting various measures, our leakage rate is the lowest in the world. At the same time, the leaked natural gas can be supplied to the multi-fuel engine on the ship after being recycled. We have also designed a special engine for this purpose, so that
Users save money.”
The reporters were all surprised. This is indeed a brand-new ship type that has never been seen in the world.
But, is it safe?
"Mr. Qin, as far as I know, natural gas ships are very difficult. Therefore, this kind of ship also requires decades of experience accumulation and continuous improvement. Can your Mingzhou Group guarantee the safety of this ship?"
This question is reasonable and Qin Tao cannot say that the other party is throwing dirty water.
"Yes, safety is the most important thing. In this regard, our Mingzhou Group can guarantee absolute safety and reliability." Qin Tao said: "Although we only have a few years, the natural gas ships we manufacture have never appeared before.
No accidents have occurred. After purchasing our ships, users are full of praise for the safety. This first natural gas ship using our patent can sign more demanding agreements, for example, during the entire life of its operation,
If any safety issues arise, you can receive high compensation from us."
Qin Tao is very confident.
"We can provide comprehensive protection to the first customer to try our best," Qin Tao said. "Now, we are also looking forward to the first customer coming to our door."
This press conference is the first time their patented natural gas ship has appeared. Qin Tao needs these reporters to promote him, otherwise, he will not bother with these things.
Various reporters asked various questions, and Qin Tao always told them everything he knew and explained them clearly.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think about environmental protection?"
This is a reporter from Europe.
"We attach great importance to environmental issues. We build natural gas ships not only to make money, but also to provide clean fuel to the world. Everyone knows that both coal and oil will cause air pollution. Only natural gas is very clean after burning.
, In the future, the demand for natural gas will be increasing." Qin Tao said: "We must work hard to produce more natural gas ships so that we can contribute to environmental protection. After all, we only have one home in the world."
In this era, environmental protection has begun to pay more and more attention, so it is necessary to shape your company into an environmentally friendly enterprise to avoid being criticized by some environmentally friendly girls in the future.
"However, we have also seen that this road still has a long way to go." Qin Tao said: "In particular, some countries, under the banner of scientific research, continue to do things that damage our ecological environment."
"Mr. Qin, what are you referring to?"
"Of course they are creatures in the ocean." Qin Tao was filled with indignation when he talked about this: "Our ocean is also suffering from the threat of pollution and excessive hunting by humans. In order to protect the fish in the ocean, in 1946
, a convention signed by 88 countries, the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, established the International Whaling Commission. In 1982, the International Whaling Commission proposed the Convention for the Prohibition of Commercial Whaling, with 25 votes in favor of 7
The Convention was adopted with a neutral vote of 5 against, with an effective date of 1986, after which commercial whaling was banned worldwide.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "However, some countries are just being cunning! They voted against it when they voted, and they did not stop after that. Through scientific research,
In the name of the United States, we continue to catch whales wantonly!" Qin Tao was very angry: "Internationally, many environmental protection organizations have been established, as well as organizations to protect whales. I support the actions of these organizations spiritually!"
In ancient times, catching whales was only occasional. After all, whales are too huge to be hunted by just any fishing boat. At the end of the 19th century, after the emergence of steam-powered whaling ships and professional harpoons, commercial whaling became official.
start.
A certain country likes to hunt whales. It was excusable in the past. After all, people have to eat, but now? They can already fill their stomachs, but they still hunt whales. This is too much.
This kind of non-environmental behavior must be condemned!
By the time all the fuss was over, it was already afternoon.
Xu Zhengyang brought lunch to Qin Tao, and Qin Tao ate it hungrily while listening to others reporting on their work.
"The construction of the dredger has begun. According to our current progress, the hull will be launched around May. The most critical thing at the moment is the main components of the dredging equipment. I don't know how the research progress is."
"That's no problem. The dredger is an important project for us. On the premise that other orders are not affected, we must try our best to ensure the construction progress of the dredger."
"The outfitting work of the supply ship is going very smoothly. It is expected that the outfitting will be completed and delivered to the Navy in a few months."
"Well, I'll invite the Siamese people to come and take a look at it then. They will definitely have needs."
"Taozi, let's eat first, don't be in a hurry." Qin Baoshan said.
"Why don't you worry? After all these things are taken care of, I will go back to Huating."
"So fast?"
"You are going to have your grandson, can I not go back to accompany Xiaoling?"
