Chapter 1482: Second-hand weapon fair (3)

If Nikolaev is the "Uklan Shipbuilding Capital", then the Black Sea Shipyard is the king of this capital.
The Black Sea Shipyard, formerly the fifth largest shipyard in Soviet Russia and the largest shipyard in Nikolaev City, was founded in 1897 during the Tsarist era. It is a large-scale old factory with a long history.
The factory has 25,000 employees and covers an area of ​​302 hectares (including 42 hectares of water surface area). The outfitting wharf has a total length of 2,675 meters, a total length of 29 kilometers of roads, and a total length of 49 kilometers of railways. The factory is like an industrial town with various types of equipment. With a total of 2,100 cranes, it is the only factory capable of manufacturing aircraft carriers in the former Soviet Union.
During the pre-Soviet Russia period, the first generation of "Soviet Aircraft Carrier" "Moscow" began to be built in 1960, including "Moscow", "Leningrad", "Kiev", "Minsk", and "New "Rosiysk", "Gorshkov", "Kuznetsov", "Ulyanovsk" and all the "heavy carrier cruisers" were built here, and in their heyday , The factory averages 1 aircraft carrier on the berth every 3 years, and 1 aircraft carrier launches every 3 years. Under normal circumstances, the factory can deliver 1 aircraft carrier every 3 years.
These works, like medals, witness the growth and development of the former Soviet Union's maritime power. They were once known as "the busiest shipyard in Europe".
But that period of glory has passed away with the split of the former Soviet Union. The factory director Yuri Ivanovich Makarov who came to greet this team of visitors is 58 years old, but The head was covered with frost and snow, the eye sockets were sunken, and there was no longer the kind of spirited spirit that everyone was familiar with, but deep helplessness and exhaustion.
"Yuri, you don't look very good." Grumov shook the old factory director's hand gently, and said in a mixed mood.
Makarov sighed softly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Come with me, let's go see the boat."
His low mood also infected everyone, and the group of people lost the interest in talking, and silently followed him onto the famous "Makarov Avenue."
Obviously, "Makarov Avenue" was named after Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, which is the affirmation of the old captain's life's achievements.
Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, from the Raksha ethnic group, graduated from the Nikolayev Shipbuilding Institute in 1958. He was the chief engineer of the Black Sea Shipyard in early April 1976 and the director of the Black Sea Shipyard in 1979. .
As a person who dedicated his life to the shipbuilding industry of the former Soviet Union, his most outstanding contribution is to turn the construction of the former Soviet Russian aircraft carrier into an assembly line operation. He once said: "Served as the world-renowned Black Sea shipyard. Long is the luck of my life.
But in fact, this is also the luck of the Black Sea Shipyard, because it was during Makarov’s tenure as chief engineer and later as the plant manager that the Black Sea Shipyard boarded its grand expansion and reconstruction. Engineering peak.
Because he invented the "Huge General Shipbuilding Method" that later became popular in shipyards around the world, which was one of the greatest technological innovations in the history of world shipbuilding.
Before this craft was invented, the so-called "tower shipbuilding method" was widely popular in the world. In this method, the hull of the ship needs to be divided into many small pieces, like blocks of building blocks, starting from the center of the bottom of the ship and gradually moving towards Expand both ends and upwards until the final completion. The equipment and technology required to use this method are relatively simple, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, slow.
However, the "Huge General Shipbuilding Method" is not the case. It is a typical modular shipbuilding method. First, the segment manufacturing department builds each segment, and then uses large machinery to transport the segments to the field, and then use gantry cranes and other tools to transport Each section is transported to the dock or berth for assembly. This method can greatly improve the construction efficiency of the ship, but the disadvantage is that it requires the use of many large machinery and requires very high construction accuracy for each section.
It was under the auspices of Makarov that the Black Sea Shipyard carried out a comprehensive renovation of the dock production facilities. The focus of the renovation was No. 0 dock, the largest in the plant area. After the renovation was completed, the use efficiency of No. 0 dock was extremely high. A big improvement. After the first aircraft carrier is assembled and launched, the crane-centric lifting equipment can lift the assembled large components of the next aircraft carrier to the vacant position as a whole, saving a lot of construction Time has significantly improved the efficiency of the dock. It is precisely because of the implementation of this new construction technology that the No. 0 dock of the Black Sea Shipyard has become the busiest shipbuilding base in Russia and even in Europe.
Take the construction of the "Riga" aircraft carrier as an example. The joint line between the main section and the main section of the ship is more than 500 meters long. However, the shipbuilding masters of the "Black Sea Shipyard" headed by Makarov are extremely considerate. The net size of the joints processed with theodolite measurement data is accurate to 0.1 mm, so that after the total section is hoisted on the dock in turn, the welders can connect the installation joints one by one step by step!
Makarov is an extremely strict person who treats his work very strictly and will never allow any omissions. Because he knows all aspects of shipbuilding well, he will never allow some inexperienced leaders to be responsible for the design work, and those cadres who are accustomed to propagating according to the book and are not enterprising will be kicked out by him. Take the "Riga" as an example. This aircraft carrier has more than 3,500 cabins. All cabins are covered with various equipment, cables and other systems. If you stay in each cabin for 1 minute, it will take 60 hours. Mr. Makarov came to the office at 6 a.m. every morning, spent half an hour processing the documents, and then summoned the workshop directors and construction engineers in the hangar to board the "Riga", where they must always be under supervision. Go again. At around 8 o'clock, everyone held an on-site meeting for more than ten minutes in the aircraft carrier hangar to review the problems or omissions found on the spot. Whoever is responsible will be punished, including but not limited to deductions...
Over time, the leaders of the factory all called the route that followed the factory director's inspection "Makarov Avenue". This "avenue" was full of meticulous rigor and loyalty to national missions.
The silent group of people finally walked the "Makarov Avenue" and stood before dock 0 again. They looked up at the giant steel ship "Varyag", which was about 70% complete. In front of its magnificent body, The human body looks so small.
Chernomyrdin asked softly: "Can we still finish it?"
Makarov fell into silence again, and for a long time, he slowly replied: "It will never be finished."
Chernomyrdin said: "What do you need? Our Rakshasa can provide everything you want!"
"It needs the State Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission, nine ministries of defense industry, 600 related majors, 8,000 supporting manufacturers, and more than 200,000 technical personnel. In short, it takes a great country to complete it."
Makarov continued, his voice full of helplessness and sadness: "But this country no longer exists."
