Technological Supremacy Chapter 287: The blueprint for an ocean empire!
The Swallowtail Butterfly rides the wind and waves, going forward like a fast-moving isolated island. The bow of the ship is like a knife, splitting the huge waves, sending out a terrifying roar, leaving huge white ripples in the deep ocean.
Four giant permanent magnet vector motors for ships provide a driving force of up to 31,200 horsepower for this 200,000-ton giant ship, and the power of a single machine has reached a crazy 78,000 horsepower!
You know, the total thrust of the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only 280,000 horsepower, and the largest diesel engine manufactured in my country is the super long-stroke 7G80ME-C produced by Dalian Chuanchai, and the power of a single engine is only four Four thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine horsepower.
This power is quite astonishing. The permanent magnet vector motor of Star Technology only uses one-twelfth of the volume of Dalian Chuanchai to achieve its power of 1.77 times. The superiority of the motor, once again No doubt.
In order to achieve a faster speed, the Swallowtail Butterfly redesigned the hull structure and used higher-strength steel. Although this will inevitably increase the cost, the faster sailing speed will improve the overall transportation efficiency. Cost-effective.
In short, when the news spread that the Swallowtail Butterfly had officially set sail, the world went crazy.
The reason is obvious. A new era has arrived. Ninety-eight percent of the world's international trade relies on shipping, and Huaxia's all-electric propulsion shipping system will be the strongest on earth, bar none!
The Swallowtail Butterfly successfully completed its two-hour trial voyage. It circled a large circle in the ocean and then returned to the dock in Shanghai.
There, a celebration party has already been prepared, and Luo Jia and the researchers of Xingchen Technology will also be there in person.
......
Maersk Group Headquarters, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The plenary meeting of the Executive Committee is being held. As the largest shipping group in the world, Maersk of Denmark responded quickly.
After learning the accurate news of the successful sea trial of Huaxia's all-electric propulsion ship, they immediately sent their chief representative in China, Zhuang Mocheng, to negotiate with the Star Technology Group, which mastered this historic and great technology. Received a news that surprised them.
"Star Technology has made it clear that they have enough partners in China, so all-electric propulsion ships and related technologies will not be sold to the outside world, no matter how much we spend." Chief Operating Officer Tove Te said with a serious expression.
There was a long sigh in the conference room, some people frowned, and some people turned the barrel of the ballpoint pen in their hands.
"So, COSCO SHIPPING, which ranks third in the world, has joined forces with Star Technology?" asked an executive member.
Tofte nodded slightly, "It should be more than that. In addition to COSCO Shipping, Huaxia also has China Grain Logistics, which ranks 16th in the world, Ansheng Shipping, which ranks 17th, and SITC International, which ranks 18th, and 20th. Sinotrans, No. 2, Ningbo Ocean, No. 37, Dalian Tradewind No. 49, Shanghai Hua, Jinjiang, Taicang, Jifa, Datong, Hongxiang, Hede.”
"Currently, among the top 100 shipping companies in the world, they occupy 14 of them. Although their overall strength is mediocre, with the strong support of Star Technology, I believe that China's major shipping groups will achieve great development in the near future. "
Everyone was speechless again. In July 2018, COSCO SHIPPING, which ranked fourth, acquired OOCL, the world's seventh-ranked shipping group, surpassing CMA CGM and becoming the third largest player in the world.
In the field of shipping, Denmark’s Maersk is the largest company, accounting for 16.4% of the global market share, Switzerland’s Mediterranean Shipping Co., Ltd. accounts for 14.7%, and China COSCO Shipping Co., Ltd. accounts for 11.6%. CMA CGM accounted for 11.2 percent.
The four major shipping groups account for more than half of the global market. It can be seen that this is a world monopolized by giants.
With the exception of COSCO SHIPPING, the rest of Huaxia are small companies, accounting for only 16% of the world. create a threat.
As the world's largest trading nation, the weakening of China's shipping industry is really not worthy of its market position.
However, overnight, the situation was completely changed, and the all-electric propulsion ship of Star Technology was born, which was about to completely reverse the pattern of the shipping industry.
There is no takeaway plan for the new ships equipped with Karman vortex street power generation arrays, and they are only supplied to domestic partners. This is tantamount to a death sentence for the global shipping giants led by Maersk.
One-fifth of the cost, 2.33 times the speed, even a fool knows what this means.
The conference room was suffocating and I couldn't breathe. At this time, Brod, the major shareholder, asked: "I heard that although the all-electric ship of Star Technology is very powerful, it also has a fatal weakness. , can only be equipped with large ships, requiring a displacement of 200,000 tons.”
"In this world, not only super-large freighters are needed, but also small and medium-sized freighters are needed to supplement capacity. Even if we lose the dominance in the field of super-large freighters, it will be no problem to keep the transportation business of small and medium-sized ships, right?"
Tofte rubbed his temples, looked at the major shareholder of the company and said, "Port renovation."
Brode was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
"I'm talking about the port renovation project." Toft spread his arms helplessly, "Just as Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry began to invest in the construction of all-electric ships on a large scale, their national team also introduced another plan, the port Renovation project."
"Everyone knows that the freight rate of large freighters is the cheapest, and many ports are unable to dock ultra-large freighters due to their age, so the Huaxia authorities have introduced a port renovation plan, providing low-interest loans to help the world transform ports , to meet the docking needs of electric freighters.”
"Guess, which country is the most experienced in building ports in the world?"
"It's China!"
Brode said with dull eyes, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Which country has the fastest port construction?"
"It's Huaxia..."
"Which country is the largest port equipment manufacturer?"
"It's still Huaxia, and their Yangshan Port has achieved almost fully automatic operation..."
Brode, the major shareholder, slumped on his seat after saying this.
He has fully understood that the ambition of Xingchen Technology is not only in shipping and shipbuilding, they also want ports and port machinery!
Does the port make money?
Of course it makes money. Although ordinary people don't know it, operating a port is actually very profitable. Ships have to pay for docking, replenishment, loading and unloading. This is the main source of income for the port.
More importantly, assuming that Huaxia can control a country's ports, it is equivalent to taking over the lifeline of the foreign trade economy. After all, 98% of the world's international trade is done by sea.
In 2010, Huaxia COSCO Group took over the soon-to-be-bankrupt Greek Port of Piraeus. With its strong strength in port operations, it achieved profitability only three months after taking over!
In 2016, COSCO Group bought another 67% of the equity in this port. So far, one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean Sea, the Port of Piraeus in Greece, has been completely controlled by Huaxia.
In 2010, Piraeus Port ranked 93rd in the world, but with the hard work of Huaxia Capital, as of 2018, the port has ranked 36th in the world! Such a huge leap forward shocked the whole of Europe!
The Europeans finally understand why Huaxia operates seven of the top ten ports in the world, because Huaxia is really the world's number one in terms of operating ports and producing port machinery!
Tofte said sadly, "Now everyone should understand that it seems that Star Technology is building ships, but in fact their ambitions are far more than that. They also want to take away the global shipping market, port operation market, and Port Machinery Market!"
"To put it simply ~IndoMTL.com~ They want everything related to ocean transportation!"
"I was also surprised to find that through the channels of the global investigation company, Huaxia has controlled dozens of important ports around the world without knowing it."
"Kyaukpyu Port in Myanmar, Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka, Gwadar Port in Pakistan, Suez Port in Egypt, Piraeus Port in Greece, Djibouti Port, Lae Port in Papua New Guinea, Melbourne Port in Australia, Mombasa in Kenya Port, Paranagua, Brazil."
"Wait, wait, these ports are all controlled by Huaxia Capital, shipbuilding, shipping, ports, port machinery, marine engineering, port construction, coastal defense, their tentacles are everywhere, they are going to create a new ocean Empire!"
Boom~
After hearing these words, everyone present felt as if struck by lightning, and their hearts accelerated wildly.
No wonder Maersk wanted to pay a high price for the ship, but Xingchen Technology didn't sell it at all. It turned out that they wanted more. Remember the URL of this site, www. biquxu. Com, which is convenient for reading next time, or enter "" in Baidu to enter this site
