Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

"The most crucial component of a rolling mill is its support rolls. As the saying goes, 'To forge iron, one must be strong oneself.' If the support rolls are not strong enough, they will be flattened by the steel during rolling. And this kind of high-strength steel has always been something we lack."

Looking at the rusty steel, Zhu Lijun said, "Engineer Qin, are you sure you can achieve sufficient strength using this scrap iron?"

"This isn't scrap metal," Qin Chuan said. "This is the strongest aircraft carrier deck steel! This type of steel can withstand the impact of tens of tons of carrier-based aircraft landing! Our pen tip steel is made based on this type of steel. Now, we just need to adjust the formula a little more..."

Aircraft carrier deck steel!

Everyone was shocked when they saw the 38-millimeter-thick steel, the broken and dilapidated steel.

The workers at Laiyang Factory were already used to it. Whatever steel Engineer Qin dictated, they used it; whatever processing method he dictated, they processed it! As for adding rare ingredients, Li Jianshe handled that entirely…

"Brother Chuan, I've brought everything that needed to be added!"

"Alright, start the furnace! Each support roller weighs 250 tons, which is just right for our 300-ton electric furnace!"

"Um, Engineer Qin, why don't you start refining it first?" Zhu Lijun felt that this was a secret of Laiyang Factory, and it was not convenient for outsiders like them to see it.

"Engineer Zhu, just watch. Once the molten steel is produced, we'll need your guidance for the subsequent processing!" Qin Chuan didn't mind. The prerequisite for using these formulas was having Russian deck steel, and in the whole world, no one but Qin Chuan could get his hands on it!

So, seeing it wouldn't make a difference, Qin Chuan didn't care.

Zhu Lijun and the others were very moved; Engineer Qin was treating them like his own people!

"Boss, boss!" Just then, Antonina ran in from outside: "You have a phone call!"

"The construction process is the same as the smelting of pen nib steel, except for two differences..." After giving his instructions, Qin Chuan returned to his office: "Hey, what? Immediately? So soon? Why weren't you notified in advance?"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled wryly. This naval leader really didn't treat him like an outsider!

"Boss, are we going out again?" Antonina asked excitedly.

Qin Chuan has kept his promise and given her a check for one million dollars. Now she is a rich woman. But no one will ever think they have too little money!

Antonina's eyes lit up. She was going out again. Could she make another contribution and earn another sum of money?

"Correct."

"Boss, I'll go with you!"

"Tanya, it's my turn now!" Ivan, who had finished his mission at the coal mine and returned to the steel mill, was also anxious; he wanted to make money too!

"You all should stay here quietly."

"why?"

"Because they planned to send me alone."

Soon, a Pajero pulled up in front of the factory. Qin Chuan got in and was driven straight to the naval base, where he boarded a naval helicopter to go to the airport. That was incredibly fast!

Although Qin Chuan knew it was for the sake of secrecy, he was the last to find out. Did the Navy really not trust him enough?

"Engineer Qin, you've arrived!" Old Jin smiled when he saw Qin Chuan. "We've been waiting for you. Let's get on the plane now and head to St. Petersburg immediately!"

Qin Chuan asked curiously, "Why the rush?"

Even if the navy is in dire need of funds, and even if the higher authorities have allocated special funds, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?

“An Indian delegation went there and was also looking at these two unfinished warships. If we arrive late, the Indians might beat us to it!” Old Jin said.

That's it!

The Navy didn't intentionally hide it from him; everyone made the decision hastily at the last minute. As for Qin Chuan being alone, it was because they were rushing to St. Petersburg and didn't have enough plane tickets!

"Oh, it's alright. If they're Indians, I can take care of them with just a few words!"

A few words? Old Jin was immediately overjoyed: "Alright, this time it's up to you! Let's go, get on the plane!"

Mr. Jin was in charge of the technology, and the team leader was Wang Zhenhua, Wang Hui's father. He was looking at documents on the plane, so Qin Chuan didn't disturb him. He looked at his seat number on his boarding pass and walked to his seat.

The Boeing 707 is a narrow-body, single-aisle passenger plane with three rows of seats on the left and two rows on the right. The seat Qin Chuan was holding should be by the window, but when he went over, there was already someone sitting there.

She was looking out the window, leaving her back to Qin Chuan.

Her long, black hair was smooth and silky. She had taken off her coat and was only wearing a sweater. Her figure was graceful, but it was hard to tell what she looked like.

Qin Chuan sat down, closed his eyes, and intended to rest for a while. A few words involuntarily floated into his mind.

When Sister Furong turned around, she scared a cow to death on the roadside!

Sister Furong turns her head, and Halley's Comet crashes into Earth...

"Engineer Qin, you've arrived?"

A sudden voice rang out, and Qin Chuan immediately jumped: "Sister Furong?"

"Engineer Qin, you..."

Qin Chuan then got a good look at the handsome face in front of him and was instantly stunned: "Translator Yang? It's you!"

"You're not happy to see me? By the way, who is Sister Furong?"

"Um... like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without artifice, Translator Yang, your beauty is just like a lotus."

“I’m younger than you, so who is Sister Furong? I’ll only call her Translator Yang, or that woman…”

"No, Xiaoxue, I..."

On the plane, Qin Chuan was a bit flustered. Seeing his awkwardness, Yang Xue burst out laughing, her smile so beautiful.

……

St. Petersburg.

It was already late October, and the weather had turned cold, but the Neva River was still not frozen, and seabirds were flying overhead, overlooking this heroic city.

Back then, the Russians marched westward, conquering cities and territories. When they reached Rabbit Island in the Neva River Delta, they finally gained access to the sea. Gradually, the island developed into a city, and then Peter the Great moved the capital from Moscow to this location.

Over the centuries, this place has accumulated numerous royal courtyards, spired churches, the majestic Decembrists' Square, and numerous islands of varying sizes, all telling the story of the city's past glories.

Because of its proximity to the sea, the industry here has been inextricably linked with the ocean. The city is home to the famous Neva Design Bureau, and the renowned Northern Shipyard is located right on the coast.

The cold wind howled, blowing against the slipway of the northern shipyard. The two half-built Sovremenny-class destroyers made a whistling sound in the cold wind, as if they were telling a story.

They were like abandoned children, receiving no attention whatsoever, but on this day, a group of people appeared beside them.
