Chapter 377: Flat-Earth Shipbuilding Method

"Stand-building method?" Ming Yeyu looked at Zhou Shuo for no reason, not knowing what he was talking about. He shook his head like a rattle and said hesitantly: "How can this ship be built on flat ground? Isn't it possible not to enter the dock or board the boat platform..."

Before becoming the mayor of Xiuxi City, Ming Yeyu was the director of Bohai Heavy Industry. Half of the contribution of Xiuxi City to upgrade to a prefecture-level city is to be counted on him.

Bohai Heavy Industry is a China nuclear submarine assembly plant. It is also one of the largest shipyards in China and one of the most profitable companies in Xixi. It would not be too wrong to say that it supports half of Xixi's sky.

From the position of factory director of Bohai Heavy Industry to the mayor of Xiuxi, Ming Yeyu's professional level is nothing to say. He joined the factory in the 1970s and has been promoted from a grassroots quality inspector to a factory director for 20 years. It can be said that no department of Bohai Heavy Industry is unfamiliar with. The business process of shipbuilding is to let him carry it backwards, and he can change it to the Northeast Errenzhuan style for you.

If Zhou Shuo hadn't been the investor he had long been longing for, he would have told him that he would not need to repair the dock to build a ship, and he would have kicked someone out with one kick.

"I would like to ask Mayor Ming, why does this shipbuilding have to be in the dock or on the platform?" Zhou Shuo did not care about Ming Yeyu's attitude, but instead followed him and asked.

Ming Yeyu almost subconsciously replied: "This is because the ship itself has a complex construction process and requires sufficient carrying capacity and construction facilities. Without the support of equipment from docks or ship platforms, how can the large-scale equipment for building ships on flat ground operate?"

"So that means that as long as the specific construction of the ship is completed, there is no need for a dock or a ship platform." Zhou Shuo nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ming Yeyu and asked, "I don't know if my understanding is true or not."

"That's right. But where is the specific construction of the ship if it is not on the board?" Ming Yeyu felt that her brain was not enough for the first time today, and she was waiting for Zhou Shuo's answer.

"In the factory." Zhou Shuo took the mouse handed over by Si Guxin and operated the picture projected onto the wall of the private room and said: "Next, what I want to introduce to Mayor Ming is a shipbuilding technology developed by our Panhan Research Institute."

"Aren't you an electronics industry group? Can you still develop shipbuilding technology?" Ming Yeyu looked at Zhou Shuo curiously and asked in disbelief.

"This is an epoch-making method developed by combining information technology with traditional shipbuilding technology," Zhou Shuo nodded confidently, switched to the picture on the wall and said: "Mayor Ming knows that current shipbuilding technology cannot be separated from docks and ship platforms, because shipbuilding is a very sophisticated job. It is necessary to cooperate with the on-site situation and constantly adjust specific parameters."

Zhou Shuo himself did not know much about the application of computer technology in heavy industry. He mentioned this method of flat-ground shipbuilding in a novel he had read. Then he got a little understanding. In that novel, the protagonist claimed that this technology was just a layer of window paper, and after it was pierced, it had no technical content.

Of course, it is impossible to be so easy, because the protagonist in that novel is an information technology that is speculated by the shipbuilding industry. When compared with the technology in twenty years later, it certainly feels that there is no technological content. But don’t forget that even 3D modeling was still very advanced in 1996. The software is full of China, and in April 1996, 10 people could not find to use it.

In this context, it is conceivable how difficult it is to implement virtual construction technology.

Under Zhou Shuo's operation, the picture on the wall shows a picture of a traditional shipbuilding method. This method of introducing it in combination with PPT. He was very familiar with it in later generations. But for Xiuxi in 1996, it was very unique. Ming Yeyu looked at Zhou Shuo's introduction with great interest and nodded constantly.

Then he clicked the mouse in his hand, and the picture on the wall was replaced with a steamer with many slices cut. In Ming Yeyu's inexplicable eyes, Zhou Shuo began to introduce again.

"This is the basic principle of our flat-ground shipbuilding method. Unlike traditional shipbuilding methods, the most basic unit of our flat-ground shipbuilding method is 'segmentation'." Zhou Shuo enlarged the picture. A specific explanation was: "The shipyard assembly is not every small detail of the ship, but the passage of the ship. These passages are manufactured in other section factories and then transported to the assembly shipyard for installation. This not only greatly shortens the time for shipbuilding, but also no longer requires docks and complex ship platforms."

"This...but how do you ensure accuracy?" Ming Yeyu's expression gradually became serious. Because he already felt that this idea was not completely impossible. From the perspective of a shipbuilder, he fully understood what this technological innovation would mean for the shipbuilding industry if it was really successful.

The price of ships is high. In addition to pure material costs, the use time of ship platforms and docks is also a very important part. How much strength a ship company has, just count its docks and ship platforms in this era. The investment in the construction of docks and ship platforms itself is very huge, and shipbuilding companies cannot endlessly increase these basic costs.

However, on the other hand, the shipbuilding industry always fluctuates. Sometimes there are more orders, sometimes there are fewer orders, and it is fine if there are fewer ones. When there are more orders, there are many orders that have to queue up for the dock and the ship platform is empty. This alone greatly increases the time cost of ship construction and limits the profitability of shipbuilding companies.

If a ship company can build a ship on a flat ground, it will not only save a considerable amount of the time and infrastructure costs of the order, but more importantly, it will no longer have to see the order but give up because there is no construction period...

Zhou Shuo pressed the mouse and said confidently: "This depends on the virtual construction technology we developed!"

Seeing the picture on the wall converted into a very complex picture of equipment, Zhou Shuo continued: "This is the photoelectric 3D measurement assisted virtual construction system developed by our Panhan Research Institute. It combines the latest research results of today's information technology to scan the ship section into the computer through photoelectric 3D measurement. Then, through virtual construction technology..."

Zhou Shuo's mouth was like a scattered sky, jumping out constantly. Although Ming Yeyu's education is not low, she only knows little about computers. This time, she simply said, "I understand every word you say, but why do you connect it and don't know what you mean."

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, can you... say it simpler? This is me, haha--" Ming Yeyu seemed to be unable to understand this advanced technology, and she seemed a little ashamed.

In fact, there is no need to perform well. It is very profound. To put it bluntly, it is just a laser measurement scan, plus computer simulation modeling. The Sixty-Fourth Institute of Xiucheng was originally the Institute of Optoelectronics. After Zhou Shuo completely merged it into the Panhan Research Institute, there were no technical problems at all.

If Zhou Shuo hadn't had much understanding of industrial informatization, he could complete the design in one month. Even if he gave a direction and asked the researchers below to perform on their own, the entire system would have completed the development in just half a year.

Although the technology itself is ready-made, after all, it is not possible to complete the work of determining the plan and system integration with the system. Moreover, some industrial control work involves work, and it has to deal with the Institute of Heavy Industry, which has greatly delayed the progress of technological research and development.

The reason why Ming Yeyu was confused was just for the convenience of subsequent bargaining. Zhou Shuo is not a charity person in Zhou Da, so he would definitely not give this idea of ​​changing the technology of the entire industry for nothing. Even if he does not make a considerable profit, he must at least gain a considerable voice in this industry.

Yes, standing at Zhou Shuo's position today, money is really not a big concern. What is more important is the influence of individuals and groups, and the voice derived from it. It's like even if there are more than ten or billions of funds in China's financial industry, the influence is less than that of a manufacturing enterprise with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Zhou Shuo now says that his worth of billions of dollars seems to be intimidating, but if this money cannot be converted into tangible influence, it will be just a number in China.

"Simply put, this system can scan the segments manufactured in other ship section factories into the computer without any fault. Then, through virtual modeling, we can adjust the inaccurate parts of each segment construction with the help of Internet technology in real time."

Zhou Shuo switched a picture showing Internet technology and signaled: "In this way, we can control the construction errors of each section to an acceptable range. After these sections are completed, they will be transported to the assembly plant for welding and assembly. Because the complex work is completed in the section factory, the assembly plant only needs welding and hoisting. Therefore, docks and ship platforms are not necessary."

"When the ship welding is over, we only need to load the ship into a floating dock ship, and then transport it to the designated sea area to go into the sea. The construction of the entire ship's shipyard will be considered to be completed at this point."

Zhou Shuo finished the entire introduction process, turned off the slide projector and turned around to see Ming Yeyu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mayor Ming, use your professional knowledge to judge whether our technology has practical value?"

It would be fine if Zhou Shuo didn't look at it, but he was almost shocked when he saw it! Ming Yeyu's face turned red from the beginning, but her neck turned thick, and she looked like she was about to explode!
