Chapter 1077 Navigation Data
Laolonghu Group is not making good progress in the milk powder industry, but it has received good news in terms of solar freighters.

After sharing technology with many companies in China, the Hanyang Super Factory has achieved a technological breakthrough in the manufacture of solar freighters.The first solar-powered freighter, Spirit, officially rolled off the assembly line at Liancheng Shipyard.

Courage is a [-]-ton cargo ship, and among the many cargo ships of Laolonghu Shipping Company, it is a medium-sized cargo ship.

He Shuyuan personally attended the launching ceremony of the Spirit, and expressed his gratitude to Liancheng Shipyard and other brother companies for their contributions in the transformation of freighters.

The launching ceremony of Spirit has attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign media.This is the world's first cargo ship that uses solar energy as auxiliary power. For the shipping industry, it is likely to be a technological breakthrough that will subvert the entire industry.

In the eyes of everyone's attention, the freighter Valor set sail with a full load.Because it was the first shipment of cargo by a solar hybrid freighter, the Laolonghu Group could choose South Vietnam, which is relatively close.

The so-called mule is a horse, and it is taken out for a walk.Although everyone is full of expectations for solar hybrid freighters, the power and endurance of the freighters still need to be tested during the transportation of goods.

Freighters sailing at sea face extremely complicated situations.Whether solar-powered freighters can cope with this complex environment and how much cost can be saved can only be known by testing in practice.

The distance between Liancheng Port and Fraser's Harbor is not far, and the Courage arrived in Fraser's Port smoothly after sailing for two days and one night.

During the entire voyage, the solar power generation equipment encountered some minor troubles, which were resolved by the ship's engineers and did not affect the driving of Spirit.

After the workers unloaded the cargo on the Courage, engineers from the Hanyang Super Factory boarded the ship immediately to analyze the parameters of the Courage.

Liu Xiaoguang was not too surprised by the news that the Courage had successfully arrived at Port Fraser.The Spirit only added solar power generation equipment, which has little impact on the overall freighter and will not interfere with the normal navigation of the freighter.Even if there is a problem with the solar power generation equipment, the engine can still provide power for Spirit.What Liu Xiaoguang cares about is whether the Courage equipped with solar power generation equipment can effectively reduce the cost
Almost all shipping companies are paying attention to the driving data of Spirit.

A day later, a piece of driving data about Spirit appeared on Liu Xiaoguang's desk.

The report was sent by He Shuyuan himself.

"Mr. Liu, after the data came out, I sent it to you as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiaoguang read the report from beginning to end.

According to the engineer's calculation, compared with the usual data, Spirit can save 5.00% of the transportation cost at the same speed.

This data, in Liu Xiaoguang's view, is quite good.

"Mr. Liu, the driving data of the Courage is ideal. On the day when the Courage sailed to Fraser's Harbor, the weather was cloudless and the sea was calm. If it is cloudy and rainy, there is absolutely no way Get such good data." He Shuyuan explained to Liu Xiaoguang.

Liu Xiaoguang nodded, "A conservative estimate, how long will it take to recover the cost of installing solar energy equipment?"

"Counting the cost of installation and maintenance, the cost can be recovered in up to two years. However, we need long-distance transportation and accumulated data to get more accurate results."

"Don't release this data to the public. According to the data of this operation, improve the solar energy equipment. In addition, arrange a long-distance voyage for Spirit." Liu Xiaoguang quickly made a decision.

Hanyang Gigafactory is in a leading position in the research and development of solar freighters.This is the data he spent real money to get, and he will not publish his experimental data until the solar energy technology of the freighter is mature.

The old Longhu Group did not publish the operating data of the Spirit, which disappointed the shipping companies.

They only know that the Hanyang Gigafactory continues to develop and debug solar equipment.

Many people speculate that the test data of Spirit is not ideal, so Hanyang Gigafactory will continue research and development.

But soon, everyone noticed that Spirit set sail again.

This time, the Spirit's destination is Australia, and its itinerary is far longer than previous voyages.

Everyone has doubts about the previous conclusions. If the experimental data of the Spirit is not satisfactory, why does the old Longhu Group let the Spirit set sail again, and it is to go to a farther place.

Several shipping companies began to realize sensitively that the old Longhu Group should be quite satisfied with the various data of the Valor.

This made them feel the crisis. If the old Longhu Group can really reduce the cost of shipping, it will have a great impact on traditional shipping companies like them.You must know that the current Laolonghu Shipping Company has occupied nearly half of the shipping industry market.If the old Longhu Group continues to reduce costs, then they can only drink the northwest wind.

Several shipping companies immediately took action to follow in the footsteps of Laolonghu Group and promote the application of solar technology on freighters.

However, although these shipping companies were once leaders in the industry, they have obvious disadvantages compared with the old Longfor Group.

That is, they do not have the ability to independently develop solar technology.

This is the advantage of the old Longfor Group.Hanyang Gigafactory is a brother company of Laolongfor Group, and Laolonghu Group can directly put forward its own needs to Hanyang Gigafactory.Other shipping companies want to engage in solar technology, there are only two ways.

Either establish a shipyard by yourself and independently develop solar technology, or cooperate with other shipyards, funded by them, and entrust each other to produce.

The first way is obviously not feasible. To build a bed-making factory by yourself requires a large investment and high risks. It is very likely that the solar energy equipment will not be successfully developed, and it will drag itself down.

They can only choose the second path, but it is not easy to cooperate with other shipyards.

Although funded by these shipping companies, they have no control over the research and development process. The entire research and development process is completely decided by the shipyard, and they can only resign themselves to their fate.

Seeing that the first solar-powered freighter of the Laolonghu Group has been launched, they haven't written a word yet.

During lunch break, Cai Chongwen came to see Liu Xiaoguang.

"Mr. Liu, let's have dinner together?"

Liu Xiaoguang pushed the document away, "Let's go!"

The two came to the cafeteria together and found a seat to sit down.

"Mr. Liu, I came here to discuss something with you."

"You say it."

"It's like, you know, I grew up in New York, and I want to buy my hometown basketball team."
