The arc sparks flew, and pieces of scrap iron were welded together.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Qin Tao took a small hammer and smashed open the welded bulge, revealing a big hole inside.
"No, next one."
Although he told his father that he wanted to select a group of people to train, these people were so enthusiastic that Qin Tao had to select a group of outstanding ones. If he could pass the welding skills, it would save a lot of time.
.
Of course, it is very simple to judge whether it has passed the test. After most people come up, they cannot start a fire at all. Those who can start a fire will be eliminated directly. Let's look at the results of welding.
When the next workpiece was handed over, Qin Tao threw it aside: "Next one!"
Hey, this is not bad. Qin Tao looked at the welding seam of the entire workpiece. Although it was not a beautiful fish scale pattern, it was welded after all and was very even. It seemed that he had a lot of work on his hands.
Qin Tao raised his head and saw Ma Laoliu's face.
"Qin Gong, how are you?"
"Well, not bad, go over there, find Master Zhao, and study hard."
Zhao Changshui has already started to be a master. After all, he welded the catamaran. Once he is familiar with it, he will be familiar with it. Zhao Changshui can lead his apprentices to complete this task. Only Zhao Changshui, a skilled worker, is assigned to the construction of the dredger.
It has no impact either.
At the end of the day, Qin Tao selected eight people to form a catamaran construction team. He didn't plan to build a high quality boat anyway, so he just let them practice.
Others had no choice but to return to their original work stations and continue to dismantle the ship.
That evening, the Ship Design Institute also sent dredging equipment, and the dredger could complete all the construction work.
Qin Tao looked at the busy construction site, feeling a little concerned. Why didn't Cong Ju come back as promised? Did she encounter some trouble?
However, Qin Tao just thought about it and didn't call. He knew Cong Ju's character. Since he didn't come, there must be something wrong. Why should he bother others?
Nie Shiyu hasn't started school yet, so she comes over every day to have a look. Even if she just walks behind Qin Tao without talking, she is very happy.
day after day.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, after the sound of firecrackers, the steel plates of the second catamaran officially began to be cut. The construction of the second catamaran, which cost 20 million but the actual cost was less than 500,000, officially began.
"Qin Gong, our ship's engine and propeller must be repaired quickly." Zhao Changshui was responsible for the construction of this ship. What he was most worried about was the problem of the power system.
"Yes." Qin Tao said: "Those people are really slow in doing things. Why haven't they been delivered to me yet? Wait, I'll make a call to urge you."
After saying that, Qin Tao pressed his big brother button, "We have money now, so we don't have to go to the office to make phone calls."
"Uncle Wu, your efficiency is too low. Hasn't the missile boat been dismantled yet? I'm anxious to use the engine, transmission system and propeller inside." Qin Tao came up and complained: "If you still don't give it to me,
If you send it here, you will be fully responsible for delaying our shipyard contract!"
Selling scrap metal is the next best thing. I am anxious to get the contents!
Laughter came from the other side: "Taozi, are you calling me just for business? The New Year has passed, why don't you just come over to pay New Year greetings and not even make a phone call?"
"Uncle Wu, happy New Year." Qin Tao said casually, and then continued: "Send a car to deliver it to me immediately!"
A Type 6621 missile boat has a power system composed of three engines. Therefore, it is possible to disassemble and inspect it and get two sets that can start. There is no way to fit a third set into a catamaran.
"The car already set off the day before yesterday, and it will probably arrive at your shipyard by now."
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's not too late!" Wu Shengli smiled happily on the opposite side: "If you have time, come to my house..."
"Hey, hey, hey, the signal here is not very good, I can't hear clearly, what did you say? Hello, hello?"
Wu Shengli put down the phone. This brat has gone too far. He didn’t even have a phone call during the Chinese New Year, and now he is pretending that the signal is not good enough to hang up on his own phone! As a son-in-law who has never been in the family, is this too unethical?
Qin Tao had already seen the Steyr semi-trailer with a navy license plate passing through the gate of the shipyard and driving all the way there. If he had known it earlier, he would not have called. Wouldn't this be a waste of his phone bill?
"Sneeze!" Qin Tao sneezed. Needless to say, someone must have scolded him behind his back.
I have no time. I'm so busy during the Chinese New Year. It's so easy for someone to give me money. I have to look at the factory during the day and work overtime at night to modify the design drawings. Is it easy for me?
Qin Tao felt aggrieved.
Steyr drove over with a rumble, and Qin Tao climbed onto the crane himself, hoisted all three systems down, and placed them on the brackets aside. Next, he had to repair the two engines.
In this era, ordinary marine engines are V-shaped structures and four-strokes. However, this engine is different. Its cylinders are arranged horizontally, as if they are arranged like building blocks, and it uses a two-stroke engine.
The power generation method, coupled with the help of 48 cylinders and turbocharging, allows it to achieve a power output of 5,000 horsepower.
It can be said that only the power has reached a good indicator, but other reliability, lifespan, fuel consumption, etc. are far from being comparable to the world's leading marine diesel engines.
However, as for waste recycling, those dismantled submarine engines will definitely be put to use in the future.
Qin Tao looked at the cylinder block and cylinder head made of aluminum alloy castings, both shining in the sun. He was full of expectations and could not let himself down!
Amidst the rumbling sound, streams of black smoke came out. That night, the first engine was successfully started. The second and third engines were not easy. Qin Tao was busy and worked hard.
After three days, by demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, the second diesel engine was finally started.
Here, the hull has been welded, and the two engines, matching transmission systems, and propellers have been installed, and the hull is almost complete.
This efficiency is really too high!
Especially the newly joined workers, who are working hard with a lot of energy. For them, this is related to whether they can continue to stay in the shipyard, have a stable job, and earn more money.
"Everyone has done a good job." Qin Tao encouraged everyone at the right time: "It's time to spray paint. Before spraying, the welds must be polished. This work is very difficult. You have to..."
"We are not afraid of hardship!" Ma Laoliu said, picked up the grinder and continued working.
In front of his eyes, his mother's expectant eyes seemed to appear again. When he gets a long-term job in the shipyard and saves enough money, he will be able to marry a wife, so there is no need to worry about hard work!
Qin Tao didn't need to do ideological mobilization at all.
Just then, Big Brother made a loud noise.
"Hey, Lao Zhu, don't worry, we will definitely deliver the work with quality and quantity. Now the hull has been completed."
"What? Just the hull is enough? How can this be done? The top still needs to be welded, and the interior needs to be decorated. Don't worry, it will be done in a month."
"What? The boss is anxious? Okay, let's do that. However, the balance must be settled and the price cannot be changed."
"Okay, okay."
The original one-month construction period has now only been half a month, and the other party is asking impatiently. The other party wants the ship as soon as the hull is up. It seems that they can't wait!
