Chapter 761

"This is the ammunition depot!" Chief engineer Cui Yuzhou and shipyard director Mei Linhai accompanied Tang Xiaochuan to another huge cabin in the mothership and introduced.

Tang Xiaochuan saw many workers doing welding work in this huge cabin.

"What are they doing?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Chief engineer Cui Yuzhou explained: "Because the amphibious mothership not only sails on the sea, but also flies in the air, all the equipment inside the mothership must have high anti-vibration, anti-tilt, anti-collision performance, especially Fighter planes, helicopters, flying chariots, and ammunition must have fixing frames to fix them in the mothership, and these workers are welding the fixing frames!"

"Not bad!" Tang Xiaochuan nodded. He found that the body of the current mothership has been powered on, so he asked, "Is the current power supply an external power supply?"

Cui Yuzhou replied: "Yes, the reactor has not been installed yet, and the ship cannot provide electricity for lighting, so we can only use an external power supply temporarily!"

Tang Xiaochuan visited while walking, "How is the life and accommodation of the employees arranged?"

"Eating and living are all in the shipyard. During the construction of the amphibious carrier, all workers are not allowed to go out. Before the completion of the construction, everyone can only move around in the shipyard. In order to enrich everyone's spiritual and entertainment life, we will hold regular entertainment activities. , sports competitions, in order to compensate for the shortcomings of not being able to go home during the construction period and not being able to go home to accompany relatives during holidays, everyone has an extra allowance every month!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded, and asked again: "With the current progress, how long will it take for the mothership to be put on display?"

"My estimate is that it will take half a year to enter the stage of drying clothes!"

Tang Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Is the construction period too long?"

Cui Yuzhou smiled and said: "Boss, because this is the first amphibious carrier we built, we lack construction experience, and many construction technologies are still in the groping stage, and we need to go through trial and error to determine it. Wait for this amphibious carrier After the construction is completed, we will obtain more technical parameters based on the problems and performances that arise during its sea trials and subsequent service. It will be much easier to build the second and third ships in the future. And think about it, no matter which country’s aircraft carrier takes several years to build, our amphibious carrier can be completed within a year, which is already super fast!”

"That's the truth!" Tang Xiaochuan affirmed Cui Yuzhou's answer, "There are thousands of workers involved in the construction here, right?"

"Yes, a total of 3892 people!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "This is the first warship construction order we have received, we must not be careless, we must try our best to make it reach the combat performance at the time of design!"

"Yes, we understand!"

At this time, Cui Yuzhou remembered something and said to Tang Xiaochuan: "Boss, the cost of our hull construction has increased during this period, mainly because the price of the main material of the hull has increased by 20%. We have communicated with the aerospace material manufacturing company. , They said that they can't do anything about the rise of the main material, this is the market situation!"

Tang Xiaochuan was taken aback after hearing this, "Has the price of the main material increased so much?"

"Yes!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded, "Okay, I know about this!"

After coming out of the shipyard, Tang Xiaochuan took out his mobile phone and called Wan Quanzhong, the general manager of the Aeronautical Materials Manufacturing Company.

"Boss, hello!" Wan Quanzhong on the other end of the phone said in a very respectful tone.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Mr. Wan, it's 45:10, and you should arrive at Villa No. 30 of Tianqi Villa before [-]:[-]. I'll wait for you here!"

"Ah... ok, ok, I'll leave right away!"

After Tang Xiaochuan hung up the phone, he said to Brother Wu who was driving: "Brother Wu, go to Tianqi Villa!"

"Okay, boss!"

Villa No. [-] in Tianqi Villa has been used as Tang Xiaochuan's resident rest and leisure place here, but the place he used to receive guests is Villa No. [-]. Villa No. [-] only receives high-level VIPs, and other villas are used for external communication. commercial lease.

"Hello boss!" When Tang Xiaochuan got out of the car and walked into Villa No. [-], several waiters ran out and stood in a row and shouted in unison.

Tang Xiaochuan said as he walked, "Bring me a cup of coffee!"

"Yes, boss!"

One of the waiters came forward to take off his coat for Tang Xiaochuan who was walking.

Assistant Zou Dinghui walked forward with several documents and said, "Boss, here is a major decision of the group that needs to be reviewed and signed by you!"

"Well, bring it to the backyard!"

Tang Xiaochuan washed his face and wiped his hands in the bathroom on the first floor, then went into the cloakroom, put on a casual suit, and sat down on a wicker chair on the lawn in the backyard. Zou Dinghui followed and put some documents beside him. On the table.

Tang Xiaochuan took out a cigar from the cigar box on the table, lit it and smoked it, "Brother Zou, do you know that the main construction materials supplied by the Aviation Manufacturing Company to the Linbin Shipyard have increased by 20%?"

"The price of the main material has increased by 20%? I don't know about it. I'll call Wan Quanzhong and ask!" Zou Dinghui took out his mobile phone after speaking.

Tang Xiaochuan raised his hand and waved it: "No need, I have already called him to come over!"

The staff brought over a cup of coffee. The coffee was steaming, with a mellow aroma.

Tang Xiaochuan took a few sips from his coffee cup and began to read the documents. After processing two documents in succession, Wan Quanzhong rushed over.

"Sir, Mr. Wan is here!" Brother Zhan walked over to report with Wan Quanzhong in a suit.

Wan Quanzhong stepped forward and stood at attention: "Boss!"

Tang Xiaochuan raised his head, put down the pen and documents in his hand, pointed to the rattan chair opposite and said, "Sit!"

"Um, thank you boss!" Wan Quanzhong sat on half of his buttocks, very cautious and careful.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Don't be nervous, I didn't ask you to come here to trouble you. I heard that Chief Engineer Cui from Linbin Shipbuilding said that the price of the main materials supplied to him by your company has increased by 20%. What's going on? What's going on?"

When Wan Quanzhong heard about this, he let go of half of his heart and said, "Boss, this is the case, because the main material of the ship hull is a special titanium alloy, and the price of ilmenite in the international market has risen by more than 15%. !"

Tang Xiaochuan frowned and said, "The price of ilmenite has increased by more than 15% compared to before? my country's ilmenite reserves rank first in the world, right? Why did the price increase so much?"

Wan Quanzhong said: "Boss, you don't know that although my country's ilmenite reserves are the largest in the world, it is not only my country that owns ilmenite, but also Australia, South Africa, Canada, Tianzhu and other countries, but last week , Australia unilaterally restricted the export volume of ilmenite, and then South Africa, Canada and Tianzhu also announced to reduce the export volume of ilmenite, which caused the price of ilmenite to rise!"

At present, Feitian Technology Group's mining farm on the moon has been built and started mining. The mined ore is stored in the open-air warehouse of the mining farm and has not been transported back to the earth. Wan Quanzhong doesn't know about this. The price of mines has increased, and the cost of the company has increased, so the ex-factory price of titanium alloys will also increase accordingly.
