Chapter 1576

Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li soon arrived at Jiangling Zhongjiang shipyard, which is on the Bank of the Zhongjiang River in the suburb of Jiangling. The shipyard dug a 50 meter River from the Zhongjiang River to bring water in, so that the finished ships could sail along the river into the Zhongjiang River, and then join the sea.

When the car arrived outside the shipyard, he took a close look at it in the middle of the week. The scale of the shipyard is still not small, with tall walls, giant gantry cranes and two 10000 ton ships that have not yet been completed.

It's just that the dilapidated walls and the rust all over the place show that the shipyard is facing a low ebb.

Zhou Zhong and Han Li had just arrived, and a bald middle-aged man in his forties came to the gate and asked them with a smile: "are you Mr. Han and Mr. Zhou?"

Han Li nodded and said, "I'm Han Li. Are you boss Zhang?"? We talked on the phone before

Boss Zhang confirmed the identity of the two people, and immediately became more happy. His face was full of enthusiasm and said to them: "Mr. Han and Mr. Zhou, I'm so happy that you can come. The ship of our shipyard will certainly satisfy you. So the two presidents will sit in my office and have a cup of tea first? I have a good dragon well before the rain. "

Zhou Zhong said with a smile, "boss Zhang, don't be so polite. Why don't you take us to see the boat?"

Mr. Zhang nodded his head and said, "as soon as I look at Mr. Zhou, I'll take two managers to see the boat. Please come here."

Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li followed boss Zhang into the shipyard. The shipyard of Nuo Da was deserted. Except for an old guard at the door, he did not see any workers. Boss Zhang took the two men to the dock behind. From a distance, he saw two huge sea going ships back in the dock. It can be seen that the two ships were just completed.

"Lao Wu, come out quickly. The boss is coming to see the boat." Boss Zhang took Zhou Zhong and the two men to the dock and called out in a loud voice.

Not long after, an old man in his fifties came out of the dock. The old man was dressed in blue overalls and looked old-fashioned. At first glance, he was the old skilled worker in the factory of the last century.

"Lao Wu, these two owners want to buy ships for offshore exploration. Please introduce them to the two owners." Boss Zhang was afraid that Lao Wu's character would offend Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li, so he quickly came up and winked at Lao Wu and told him that these two were big buyers.

Lao Wu nodded and said to Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li, "two bosses, come with me."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble old Wu." Zhou Zhong said respectfully.

Lao Wu didn't expect that Zhou Zhong would be so polite to him. Generally, the owners who come here to buy boats are all arrogant. They wish they were God, let alone the boss. Even the purchasing directors of some big companies are like emperors. Zhou Zhong, who can buy two big ships at once, is still so young, but he has such respect.

"Two bosses, this way, please." In his tone, Lao Wu took Zhou Zhong's three men on board, and then said, "these two ships are specially built for offshore exploration, one is called Shenlong, the other is called ice bear. Shenlong is 190m long, 28m wide, 11m draught, 24000 tons of displacement, capable of carrying 170 people, with a maximum speed of 17.9 knots and a endurance of 19000 nautical miles. When the Shenlong was first built, it was built according to the standards of deep-sea geological exploration. A gantry crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 150 tons was installed on the ship. "

"The ice bear and the Shenlong are sister ships. There is no big difference between them. Only some targeted adjustments have been made. The captain is 152 meters, the width is 20 meters, the draft is 8 meters, the displacement is 20000 tons, and the maximum number of lines is 18.5 knots. Unlike the Shenlong, the ice bear is an ice breaker, which can operate in extreme cold and harsh conditions."

Wu introduced the two ships to Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li. Zhou Zhonghe and Han Li were very satisfied after listening.

Zhou Zhong thought about it and asked Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, what I want to do is also deep-sea geological investigation, but my requirements are higher than general deep-sea site investigation. The general address survey is to obtain the soil at the bottom of the deep sea, and what we want to explore is the vein resources at the bottom of the deep sea, so can we install some platforms at the bottom of the deep sea inside the ship? "

"If it's a simple platform within 30 meters, it can be installed on the ship, but if it's a professional deep-sea operation platform of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, it needs to be purchased separately. We can't make this kind of professional level things in our shipyard," he explained

Zhou zhongran nodded clearly and said to Han Li, "Sister Li, if you look for a company in this field, you'd better have a way to send people to a machine that can mine mineral resources thousands of meters below the deep sea."

Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, boss Zhang and Wu's faces were a little strange, and they couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zhong.

Han Li also explained to Zhou Zhong with a smile: "Zhou Zhong, at present, no country in the world seems to be able to do what you said. Deep sea exploration is no problem. China's Jiaolong can dive to the deepest 7020 meters for exploration, but it is almost impossible to say that it can mine in the deep sea."
