Technological Supremacy Chapter 285: Waigaoqiao, a Cape of Good Hope class bulk carrier full of black technology!

One day after the Lantern Festival, An Ran walked into Luo Jia's office and said to Luo Jia, "Our expert team has been dispatched, and while the weather in the three northeastern provinces is still very cold, it is just right to test the automatic driving system. Reliability under ice and snow conditions, in addition, the south and northwest have also assigned test groups, I hope this time it will be successful."

Luo Jia smiled and asked An Ran to sit on the sofa and wait a while, then he called the administration department and asked them to prepare the car.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Luo Jia said, "In the final analysis, autonomous driving is what we prepare for the future. The opponent wants to use automatic driving to overwhelm us. We cannot be passively beaten."

"But if automatic driving is really used, not everyone can afford the modification cost of up to 70,000 yuan per car. At most, it will be used on luxury models, such as Hongqi or Volvo."

An Ran was slightly taken aback, "Has the national team decided to restart the red flag?"

"Well." Luo Jia nodded, "They do have this plan, if there is nothing else, let's go."

So the two left the office, joined several other project leaders, boarded a commercial vehicle waiting downstairs, and headed to Waigaoqiao, a Huaxia shipbuilding giant in Pudong.

Compared to the well-known Jiangnan Heavy Industry, the reputation of Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding is slightly lower, and it is not even as famous as Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding, another giant also in Shanghai.

However, this large enterprise affiliated to CSSC produces the world's best bulk carrier, the 200,000-ton Cape of Good Hope class, and is also the world's major manufacturer of 300,000-ton supertankers.

With the launch of the new energy plan, oil and coal are about to become a thing of the past. Waigaoqiao's oil tanker construction has been suspended, and it is currently focusing on large bulk carriers.

In contrast, the construction time of bulk carriers is shorter than that of container ships, so their electric ocean-going cargo ships equipped with Karman vortex street power generation arrays are the first to be launched.

As for the well-known Jiangnan Heavy Industry and Dalian Heavy Industry in China, they were pulled by the military to build warships, and the manufacture of civilian electric ships was handed over to several other giants.

Sitting in the car, Luo Jia said thoughtfully, "The fields of shipbuilding and shipping are unfamiliar to most people, but they are very important."

"In this world, ninety-eight percent of international trade is done by sea, and the world's largest trading country happens to be our country, so sea freight is really our lifeblood, and the lifeblood, It must be mastered by ourselves."

"Just like electric vehicles, if we plan to sell tens of millions of electric vehicles and related parts to the world every year, then we must build at least several hundred car carriers with a class of more than 200,000 tons to Meeting a huge need.”

Ling Feng asked curiously: "Cars are expensive commodities, and they can't be hoisted, they can only be rolled and rolled. It sounds like a high technology content. Can our country build this kind of ship?"

"You look down on my country's shipbuilding industry too much, don't you?" Luo Jia pouted, "Xiamen Heavy Industry is building the 8500 model, which can hold 8,500 cars. It's six miles long and the largest in the world, but unfortunately it was designed by Det Norske Veritas."

"In addition to Xiamen Heavy Industry, Jiangnan, Nantong COSCO, Jinling Shipyard, Zhejiang Yangfan, Tianjin Xingang, they can also build large car carriers."

"In this world, there are a total of 82 shipyards that have built car carriers. Our country ranks third. There are ten shipyards with construction experience and design capabilities. The strongest are still Japan and South Korea. The four giants, Jinye Shipbuilding, Toyohashi Shipbuilding, Shinraishima Shipbuilding, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, South Korea's top three, Daewoo Shipbuilding, Hyundai Samho, and Hyundai Heavy Industries, these seven shipyards are quite formidable opponents."

Luo Jia patted the car seat under his buttocks, "A car carrier needs to be built first to meet demand. Japan and South Korea are strong because they export a large number of car products every year. In the past, our cars were not exported very much. Naturally, we don’t need too many professional ships.”

"But it will be different in the future. Including Xiamen Heavy Industry, all domestic shipyards that can build car carriers have long been filled with orders, and because the Karman vortex street power generation array needs to reach 200,000 tons, only It runs smoothly, so it's the big ones that start building."

As soon as Ling Feng heard this, he immediately regained his spirits, and hurriedly asked, "How big is the Big Mac?"

"A super jumbo that can hold 15,000 cars is a new record. In the past, the world's largest car carrier was only 8,500."

Everyone was excited. To be honest, shipping is a little far away from life. There are not many people who understand it, and there are very few people like Luo Jia who have devoted themselves to researching the entire shipping industry. Luo Jia has already been able to understand the opponent's situation and historical data.

Luo Jia and his party were warmly received by President Xu of the Waigaoqiao Group, and they were invited to the dock to check the new ships under construction. The progress of cargo ships, mass production.

An Ran excitedly asked everyone, "Do you know why this ship is called the Cape of Good Hope class?"

"I know this." Zhang Cheng, who is engaged in condensed matter physics, said: "Because the ship is too big, there is no way to pass through the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, so it is necessary to go around the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn and make a big circle."

Luo Jia added: "What you said is outdated. The Egyptian side has revised the rules for the passage of the Suez Canal, and now it can pass, but the Panama Canal cannot survive."

"According to the requirements, the Panama Canal can only pass ships with a length of no more than 274.32 meters and a width of no more than 32.3 meters, which is 70,000 tons and is called the Panama class."

After a pause, Luo Jia stood on the dock, let out two wry smiles, and asked everyone: "Do you know that these bulk carriers will be mainly used to transport after they are built?"

"Hey." An Ran sighed, "Of course it's soybeans. Last year, due to the trade war, the amount of soybeans imported by our country has decreased, but there are still 88 million tons. In addition, we It also imported more than 100 million tons of iron ore, all of which were shipped back by this kind of ship.”

When it comes to agriculture, everyone is full of emotion. In this field, China is really far behind, not just in one aspect, but from fertilizers to pesticides, to seeds, and soil conservation. There are all-round gaps in scale mechanization and so on.

Is agriculture a high-tech thing?

Typical high-tech capital-intensive industries not only burn money, but also extremely time-consuming.

Mr. Yuan Longping's achievements today are achieved in a lifetime, and the global monopoly of giants like Monsanto is also accumulated in hundreds of years.

According to statistics, due to the development of China in recent years, the per capita annual meat consumption has reached an astonishing 49.8 kg.

It seems that this figure is much less than the 90 kilograms in Australia and North America, and 86 kilograms in Argentina.

But don't forget, East Asia likes to eat green vegetables. The per capita meat consumption of Nihong is only 35.7 kg, while that of South Korea is slightly higher at 51.5 kg. The per capita consumption of China has already surpassed that of Nihong By a large margin, it is catching up with South Korea.

What do pigs and cattle rely on as feed?

Soybeans~IndoMTL.com~So our country's soybean imports have remained high.

Someone has calculated that the total area of ​​arable land in the country is 224 million mu. If you want to be self-sufficient without importing soybeans, you need to use another 360 million mu of arable land to grow soybeans. Unless Huaxia can invent climate weapons, it will The desert is transformed into farmland, otherwise there is no way to meet the demand.

In the face of the cruel reality, our only choice is to import, and import requires a large number of bulk carriers to transport.

"It's almost time, shall we go there now?" Mr. Xu said.

Thus, everyone followed him to the pier, boarded a high-speed yacht that had been waiting there, and sailed quickly to the East China Sea.

Luo Jia didn't come to see the launch of the new ship today, but something more important than launching, the sea trial.

In this 200,000-ton bulk carrier of the Cape of Good Hope class, a full set of black technology from Star Technology is installed, and the effect will be revealed soon. Remember the URL of this site, www. biquxu. Com, which is convenient for reading next time, or enter "" in Baidu to enter this site
