Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Hearing Fang Yu's confident assurance, the expression on Li Zifeng's face changed from doubt at the beginning to ecstasy.

After all, Fang Yu has made such a promise, so why should I not believe him?

Moreover, given his status and position, would he dare to lie to a small director of Dalian Shipyard like you?

Furthermore.

As long as you know what Fang Yu has done, you will know that he will never lie to you about this matter.

The 2000-ton gantry crane is high-tech.

But whether it is the JF-17 fighter jet or the Type 59 tank, which one can he surpass?

Even Fang Yu invented a computer!

That thing is something that even Big Brother Mao Bear doesn’t have!

Compared to these high-tech devices, a mere 2000-ton gantry crane is as simple as making a walking stick out of a branch picked up from the roadside in Fang Yu's hands...

But, although this thing is just a piece of cake in Fang Yu's view.

But for the employees of Dalian Shipyard, they have this 2000-ton gantry crane.

That's really like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric wire - he wins big.

after all.

The bottleneck that currently restricts our own factory manufacturing is not the dock area nor the various shipbuilding technologies.

What restrains them is the gantry crane!

With this crane, which has the largest lifting capacity in Asia and even in the entire Blue Planet.

Not only can it manufacture 10,000-ton warships.

Moreover, his own factory can even use it to directly manufacture oil tankers above 5 tons!

In other words, his Dalian Shipyard has achieved a qualitative leap and become the leading shipyard in the entire Blue Star!

We already have the capital to compete with the shipbuilding industry of Western countries!

It can be said that if Dalian Shipyard can really prosper in the future.

It is definitely related to the gantry crane in front of us!

Seeing that the pain points that had plagued Dalian Shipyard for a long time were easily solved by Fang Yu, its take-off was just around the corner.

How could this not make the factory director Li Zifeng excited?

So, after listening to Fang Yu's words.

Li Zifeng even forgot that Fang Yu was still by his side.

Immediately entered the working state.

He actively directed his workers to unload and assemble the parts of the gantry crane, and then guide them into the dock step by step.

Finally, after being busy for most of the day.

The gantry crane brought by Fang Yu was finally assembled and appeared in front of everyone in a complete form.

And after seeing this complete gantry crane.

The originally extremely noisy scene instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Almost every worker at Dalian Shipyard was so captivated by this machine that they couldn't even pull it off...

Handsome!

So handsome!

The huge structure of the gantry crane, which is as high as more than ten stories, and the thick winch arm exude a unique beauty that belongs to giant machinery.

And when this gantry crane, under the operation of Li Zifeng, easily lifted 70 tons of steel.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shaking cheer at the scene!

Even many workers present cried with joy and excitement.

After all, the workers present knew it very well.

The weight that a gantry crane can lift is directly proportional to the weight of the ship it can build!

With this gantry crane, Dalian Shipyard will be able to build more than just 10,000-ton oil tankers in the future...

The future is promising, the future is promising!

……

After the experiment was completed.

Only then did Li Zifeng remember Fang Yu, whom he had forgotten about.

He hurriedly found Fang Yu and began to thank him profusely.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to express your gratitude. The reason I brought you this gift is not only to improve the efficiency of our Dalian Shipyard, but also to build the arsenal ship."

"Besides, we are all working for the development of our motherland. As comrades, there is no question of whether we should thank you or not."

Fang Yu paused slightly when he said this.

"Now that Mr. Li has finished installing the gantry crane, I wonder if we can talk about the next steps?"

"Of course! Of course!"

Hearing this, Li Zifeng quickly cooperated.

As he spoke, he picked up the design draft on the table and began to look at it.

But the more he looked, the more solemn his expression became.

"Director Fang, are the data on this blueprint correct?"

"For such a large ship, you require a speed of 30 nautical miles per hour?"

"Isn't this a bit..."

After a moment, Li Zifeng looked up and said with some embarrassment.

No wonder Li Zifeng hesitated.

He was really scared by the various data on Fang Yu's drawings.

The displacement of this arsenal ship alone is 11900 tons, but the speed he requires must reach 30 nautical miles per hour!

This data is not even worth mentioning for their Dalian Shipyard.

Even the Eagle Sauce, known as the shipbuilding maniac, can't do it!

Take the famous USS Iowa battleship as an example.

The Iowa has a displacement of 4 tons and is powered by a set of 8 Babcock & Wilcox heavy oil boilers + 4 Westinghouse steam turbines.

The maximum power of this power configuration even reaches an astonishing 21 horsepower!

Its design speed is also 31 knots, or 31 nautical miles per hour.

But what is the reality?

When the range is greatly shortened to 9600 nautical miles, the speed of the fully loaded Iowa battleship is only 25 nautical miles per hour.

The arsenal ship that Fang Yu wants to build has a displacement of one-fourth of Iowa, so the power configuration must be reduced accordingly.

That is, only two heavy oil boilers and one steam turbine can be used as power sources.

However, even this 50000 horsepower power system cannot allow the arsenal ship to reach a speed of 30 nautical miles per hour.

Not to mention, the steam turbines at Dalian Shipyard are not as advanced as those in the US.

The power system designed by Dalian Shipyard also has two boilers and a steam turbine, but can only provide 38000 horsepower.

In this case, let alone allowing this arsenal ship to reach 30 knots per hour, even 20 knots per hour is probably a big question mark...
