Chapter 929: Good boat


"Wh, what seat?"
"...Oh, hahahaha, nothing, just make a joke, Zhang translates, let's get on the boat and have a look."
Zhang Shaozhong, who did not wear military uniforms because of the particularity of the mission, did indeed serve as a translator for the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center at this time. The director of the future "Zhanhuju" who had studied Arabic at Yenching University and mastered English well appeared. The identity here is indeed a translation.
Zhang Shaozhong, who was a little confused by Tan Zhenhua’s "Board seat", followed Tan Zhenhua up the long gangway and boarded the deck of the "Melbourne", and he saw it at first sight to inform him of this. Incident and invited him to the one on this ship.
It is the fine uncle Zhu from the 6701 Institute, Zhu Yingfu.
Of course, Uncle Zhu told him about this matter, it must be "disclosed by order", but everyone pretended not to know.
"Mr. Tan, you are here!" Uncle Zhu maintained his usual warm welcome to his little fellow, and stretched out his hand to shake Tan Zhenhua vigorously.
"In fact, I was looking for you everywhere when I was below, but I didn't find it." Tan Zhenhua replied with a smile.
"Oh, I got on the ship a long time ago, and I will tow this ship into the berth today, so early in the morning, a barge came to install the towing mechanism. I came with them-Huh? Zhang translates how you and Did Xiao Tan always come together?"
Listening to the posture of the questioning, you know that Zhang Shaozhong and Zhu Yingfu are old acquaintances. Also, one works at the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center and the other works as a ship designer at the 6701. It is strange that these two are not familiar.
Zhang Shaozhong explained with a smile: "I just happened to ran into it below...Okay, Lao Zhu, let's not fight haha, let's talk about business."
"Then talk about business." Zhu Yingfu also reduced his smile and thought for a while: "This Melbourne aircraft carrier's service experience in Australia is really not glorious, oh, it is simply a cursed "good collision ship". According to the incomplete statistics we understand, it has collided with other ships more than 5 times since it was in service. Two of these have caused serious consequences. One was the sinking of the country’s "Voyager" frigate, and the other was The U.S. destroyer "Evans" was unlucky. The sinking of these two ships directly resulted in the deaths of 155 officers and soldiers. In addition, the Melbourne had several major accidents, one of which was a boiler explosion and the other The radome fell off during the voyage and fell into the sea."
Tan Zhenhua blurted out: "Fuck it? Is it so scary?"
"Yes, so the Australian Navy really can't stand this trouble-loving ship." Zhu Yingfu shrugged and said: "Plus their country, there is no real maritime threat in the surrounding area, and it's also a big ship. It's really wasteful, so I plan to dismantle it and sell scrap iron."
Zhang Shaozhong immediately interjected: "So our Huangpu Shipyard took over this business. However, according to the agreement reached between the Huangpu Shipyard and Austria and the scrap metal recyclers who bought the ship, the ship must be in 6 It was completely dismantled within months. Taking into account the actual construction period required for ship breaking, we can only study it for at most one week."
Tan Zhenhua thought for a while and asked: "Does it have to be demolished?"
Zhu Yingfu nodded helplessly: "Yes, it must be demolished. The Austrians are not stupid. They sent someone to follow up on this matter. I heard that the person will fly to Guangnan by tomorrow morning at the latest. Time is probably impossible."
"So, does this ship have any retained value?"
Zhu Yingfu and Zhang Shaozhong bit their ears for a long time before repliing: "If you want to use it, I am afraid it is of little value. The age of this ship is too long, and the basic structure has reached the end of fatigue and aging of the metal. There is a hull left, the equipment on it has been emptied, and even the main shaft has been cut off. It is very difficult to recover. The cost is not as cost-effective as building a new ship-well, China has no ability to build and Maintain an aircraft carrier. However, from the perspective of scientific research, if it can be retained, it will still have a very important reference for us to understand the basic structure of the aircraft carrier."
"That means we only have 6 months in total?"
"Only one week." Zhang Shaozhong corrected: "According to the contract, the Huangpu Shipyard must start construction and start cutting steel plates within a week. The Austrians will monitor all this. Under their noses, we cannot do anything blatantly. ."
"Can't you break the contract? The big deal is to pay them a sum of money." Tan Zhenhua said disapprovingly: "How much is the value of the scrapped ship? The big deal is I will buy it for you."
"It's not about money." Zhu Yingfu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Tan, we all know that you have money, but it's really not about money. Before I came, I told you there was something else. What is the impact? When we sold this ship to us, someone explained and guaranteed us on the American side, and the Americans nodded and let it go."
"It's really troublesome." Tan Zhenhua murmured depressedly, holding his head around two times, and then said to Zhu Yingfu: "It seems that this ship has to be dismantled. If you want to save it for future scientific research. This data is the only method that you have mobilized to do a large-scale survey and mapping for it, while keeping enough image data as much as possible."
Zhu Yingfu smiled bitterly again: "Mr. Tan, we have also thought of this method. It is easier to keep the image data. It is enough to find a few more camera crews. One week’s time is barely enough. It is troublesome to survey and map. A large ship has more than a dozen floors on the deck alone, and there are as many as thousands of cabins. Even if we mobilize all of our people who can draw drawings to do surveying and mapping together, we can't finish it in a few months..."
"Wait, wait, Uncle Zhu, you just said that if you mobilize all the people in the institute to come together, then you can finish the survey in a few months? How many months?"
Zhu Yingfu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand Tan Zhenhua's meaning for a moment. Tan Zhenhua hurriedly repeated again: "Uncle Zhu, I ask you, how long will it take to mobilize all the employees of your firm to survey and map this ship?"
"Uh..." Zhu Yingfu finally figured out what Tan Zhenhua meant, pinching his fingers for a long time before repliing: "I guess, it will take half a year..."
Halfway through the conversation, he saw Tan Zhenhua’s disappointed eyes and had to gritted his teeth again and said: "5, no, 4 months should be able to do it, no matter how short it is, the workload is too much, not so much. People!"
"Does it take at least 4 months?" Tan Zhenhua fell into thinking again, but after pondering for a long time, he didn't think of a good way. For a while, he felt a little boring in his chest, so he took a breath: "Uncle Zhu, Translator Zhang, My mind was a little confused for a while, so why don't we go around the ship first, maybe we can wake up a little bit by the sea breeze."
"Let's turn around first." Seeing that the second son of Tan, who has always been uploaded as a "Zhi Duo Xing" by the rivers and lakes, was temporarily poor, Zhang Shaozhong and Zhu Yingfu had to look at each other, and helplessly, they started to circle around the huge deck of the "Melbourne".
