On April 19th, the oil tanker was not renovated immediately. Instead, we celebrated with all the experts for a whole day. At the same time, we used several large sheets of paper to record the work that everyone participated in. Maybe to others, this is a useless face-saving project.
But for the experts on site, this is an affirmation of their efforts and an honor. It is conceivable that n years later, everyone will need to respect them. Just like modern people look at Newton and Einstein.

On the morning of April 20, Wang Hai was preparing for a press conference. The press conference is a necessary process, which can make the world pay attention to himself and Haidong Industrial and attract more talents. Of course, because Haidong Industrial is determined not to
Going public will directly ignore the impact on financing.
On the afternoon of April 20, the location of the press conference was still the same, but this time it was really overcrowded. The entire first floor of the huge sports center was full of people, not to mention people outside who had not come in.
The press conference was a success, and Wang Hai and Haidong Industrial once again made a name for themselves in the world. The gap between the initial theory and the final practice is huge. Speaking of fighter aircraft, it usually takes 30 years from the beginning of design to final mass production.
However, this time Wang Hai still launched a large satellite - a metal plate that consumes more than 100 million in electricity costs alone, not counting the investment in various research and raw materials. Currently, space technology is still in the experimental stage and is preparing to be built.
The first space tanker, tested.
The successful research on space has attracted a lot of attention from the world, and even the United States has temporarily suspended its "judgment" against Iran. In an instant, Haidong Industrial was like the brightest pearl on the earth, attracting the attention of the world.
On April 21, the vigorous changes officially began. A space metal plate weighs 300 tons, and a full 100 metal plates can theoretically be placed on a 30,000-ton ship. However, theory and reality are different after all. With space metal plates, the ship can
A large amount of materials such as water, food, fuel, etc. can be put into the space, leaving only a little outside to prevent the space from accidentally collapsing. Although according to cultivation experience, as long as the space is not hit by a huge external force (such as a metal plate being hit by a missile)
There is no problem if you hit it directly), but it is still necessary to take precautions. In this way, you can save money.
According to general data, the dead weight of a 30,000-ton ship is close to 10,000 tons, and the fuel is calculated at 7kg per thousand tons nautical miles (Note: 1). There are nearly 7,000 nautical miles from Linhai City to the Persian Gulf. An empty ship requires 490 tons of fuel. If it is fully loaded,
The fuel consumption is 1960 tons. The purpose of this ship modification is to use the load as much as possible. In the future, the cabin will be replaced by space, which means that the ship is always fully loaded (things in the space do not account for the weight). In order to ensure safety
, the ship must have 5,000 tons of fuel reserves.
In addition to leaving 1,000 tons for backup, it can also save 4,000 tons of load capacity. Together with other materials, it can easily save 6,000 tons of load capacity, which theoretically allows the placement of metal plates with a width of 120 meters.
One space is needed to hold fuel, one space is to hold fresh water, and one space is to hold food. Of course, weapons are essential. There are four spaces, and there is also a space to hold various tools. In this way, the available space is 115. According to
Calculating 10w cubic meters per space, it is 1150w cubic meters. And space has a characteristic. The weight of the objects in it is completely borne by the space. On the ship, it is only the weight of the metal plate. In this way, if water is transported,
That is 1150w tons. If iron fine powder is transported, it is 5497w tons (density is calculated according to 4.78), which is many times stronger than those million-ton giant ships that are still on paper. You must know that only in terms of fuel consumption, it is different.
beyond the reach of ships.
The transformation of the ship is a complex project, but it is much simpler just to place as many metal plates and supporting facilities as possible on it. All the metal plates are placed upright and welded to the deck with thick steel pipes. At the same time, there are a large number of
The auxiliary equipment was removed and replaced with specially developed equipment matching the space metal plate.
It took two months and was not completely completed until mid-June. The production of space metal plates could not keep up with the progress of the project. Not only are the current space metal plates unable to be mass-produced, they also have a certain failure rate. When it is finally completed, a total of
There are 95 wide metal plates. The reason why there are so few is because fixing the metal plates consumes a lot of steel, and the equipment that is replaced is larger and takes up a lot of space.
Today's oil tankers look like a hedgehog from a distance. There are 95 huge metal plates erected on the deck. These metal plates are arranged in a disorderly and orderly manner on the deck, inadvertently looking like a maze. Every 4-6 metal plates
There is a huge mechanical arm around the board, with a huge electromagnet and a huge metal pipe. The electromagnet is used to "open the door", and the metal pipe is of course used to transport crude oil. These robotic arms can get close to the deck
Open a door again from the lower part of the space and release the crude oil inside. There is a huge funnel-shaped trough below, which leads directly to the crude oil tank under the ship. The crude oil tank is no longer storing crude oil, but when unloading crude oil, this is a temporary
A storage place where the crude oil in space will enter and then be transported out of the ship through machinery.
After transformation, the ship now has a dead weight of 27,000 tons, 90 available spaces, and a volume of 9 million cubic meters. The maximum speed is 28 knots, and the fuel consumption is 10kg per thousand tons of nautical miles. When the speed drops to 12 knots, the fuel consumption is 5kg.
On June 16, Haidong Industry held another press conference to officially announce the birth of the world's first space tanker, which means that the world will change from now on. The storage space of 900W cubic meters makes all countries feel chilling. This can completely change the future.
combat method. At the same time, the birth of the most expensive ship in the world was announced. Haidong Industrial reported that the electricity bill alone exceeded 50 billion, and the ship applied a large number of new technologies, and its actual value is immeasurable.
The ship was named: Haidong-Morning Star.
When the world was in turmoil, Wang Hai contacted the big shots in Iran——
Mahal Awas. Due to the long-term blockade in Iran, Iran has a large amount of crude oil reserves in the country, and more than 60% of its oil wells have now ceased production. Wang Hai has set his sights on these abundant crude oils.
According to international regulations, in order to restrict Iran from developing nuclear weapons, various countries have worked together to block Iran's economy. Even if India and China still support Iran, they can only support it secretly. However, there is no explicit international restriction that Iran cannot cooperate with private individuals.
Transaction, and Wang Hai is preparing to transport a large amount of crude oil to Iran in a private name, and it is cheap crude oil.
Mahal Awas said happily, as long as you dare to come, I can contact the country's crude oil, as much as you want, the price is lower than the OPEC crude oil export price, 300 US dollars per ton. The current OPEC crude oil price is 350 US dollars per ton.
tons (Note: 2), the international crude oil trading price is above 400 US dollars.
Wang Hai readily agreed. This was simply putting money into his pocket. Moreover, he also had the advantage of transportation costs. According to the international crude oil transportation cost, not counting anything else, just in terms of fuel, transporting 10,000 tons of crude oil cost 1,000 yuan.
At sea, a minimum of 50 tons of fuel oil is required, which is 25w yuan, 8.1 million tons (the density of crude oil is calculated as 0.9), which is 202.5 million! But even if Wang Hai sails at the highest speed, 8.1 million tons is the 30,000-ton ship itself
It’s just fuel consumption. Even if it is calculated based on 30,000 tons, it is only 300 tons of fuel and the cost is 1.5 million. Calculated in this way, the average cost per ton differs by 24.8 yuan, 4.13 US dollars. You must know that for large transactions, the difference is only a penny.
The price is sky-high, not to mention the difference of $4.13!
As for the cost price of shipbuilding, Wang Hai also has an advantage. To reach a load capacity of 8.1 million tons, the cost price of the ship required is even higher than Wang Hai's Venus, plus worker wages, ship maintenance, tariffs, etc.
, all added up, the price difference can reach more than 5 US dollars, 30 Chinese coins.
Note: 1. I checked a lot of information and found that ships’ fuel consumption varies. This book intercepts three fixed data: Generally, fuel consumption for normal navigation is 7kg per thousand tons nautical miles, low-speed navigation is 5kg per thousand tons nautical miles, and high-speed navigation is 10kg.
Per thousand tons of nautical miles, ultra-high speed is 12kg. Please forgive me for the unreasonable data. After all, it is convenient for me to calculate and easy for everyone to read. Also, the price of ship fuel is unified to 5,000 yuan per ton.
Note: 2. "Barrel" is generally used as the unit of crude oil in the world. However, for convenience, tons are used as the unit in this book. Of course, this is certainly unreasonable, but this book is about transportation monopoly, and the non-key parts are kept as concise as possible.
