  Nie Shiyu rested her head on Qin Tao's chest, put her arms around Qin Tao, and closed her eyes happily.

   "Shi Yu, Shi Yu, you are already a grown child." Qin Tao said, "You can't do this anymore."

   "Brother, you promised me last year that when I was on vacation, you would continue to take me out to play, but you lied!"

  Nie Shiyu pouted.

   "Well, this summer vacation, I will continue to take you to play, but the environment where I go is not very good."

   "I'm not afraid, brother, I just want to be with you."

  Qin Tao spread his hands helplessly, looking at Zhao Ling who was looking suspiciously at the door.

   "You guys are really brothers and sisters." Zhao Ling said.

   "Yes, Sister Ling, I want to be with my brother forever."

   "Okay, okay, let go." Qin Tao said: "If you still don't let go, then I won't take you with me."

   "Okay." Nie Shiyu let go of his hand.

  Qin Tao let out a long breath, then looked at Zhao Ling: "Representative Zhao is here to discuss business with me, right? Let's go out and talk."

   Then, Qin Tao looked at Nie Shiyu again: "Shiyu, you are not allowed to follow, pay attention to the discipline of confidentiality."

"oh."

  Nie Shiyu nodded obediently.

  Qin Tao and Zhao Ling walked out.

"Team Leader Meng said that several shipyards have been focusing on the catamaran missile speedboat project recently." Zhao Ling said as she walked, "After all, due to funding problems, it is impossible for the Navy to build a large number of large warships. And this catamaran missile boat has very advanced performance, and the navy is very satisfied, so there are at least fifty expected orders, or even more."

   "Didn't the superiors call on them to go abroad to find business and build big ships? This little meat is not enough for them to squeeze between their teeth, so they still worry about it?" Qin Tao said.

   "Large shipyards may not look down on them, but those medium-sized or even small shipyards are still very jealous." Zhao Ling said.

   "Huh, these unworthy guys!" Qin Tao said: "If you want to compete with our factory, there is no way! They can't get the design drawings. Let's see how they get an order from the Navy."

   "Yeah, I heard that you sent the design drawings to the Ship Design Institute and asked them to help increase the weapon system, so..."

"Hmph, I've been prepared for a long time. If they get the blueprints from there, they can run up to forty knots." Qin Tao is full of confidence: "However, in order to have a better chance of winning, I still need to buy a water pump factory, Xiaoling, help me Let me inquire."

  Zhao Ling nodded. She doesn't have much information, but she can ask her father for help, and she will find out soon.

  Suddenly, Qin Tao turned around and came in front of Zhao Ling. Then, he embraced with both hands and moved his lips together.

   "Hey, be careful not to be seen."

   "Just one click, just one click."

  Zhao Ling blushed and let Qin Tao succeed, but her heart was very sweet.

"In the next period of time, I'm going to Chongming Island. While there is no heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, I will quickly fix the floating dock to avoid accidents." Qin Tao said: "You should have no reason to go there with me, right? "

   "Of course, I have to continue to be my military representative here and install the equipment for the second missile boat. You can go. Anyway, Shiyu will accompany you."

  Qin Tao's head got dizzy for a while, is she sincere in what she said? Is there still something to be said?

   Forget it, let's get down to business first!

  After separating from Zhao Ling, Qin Tao walked to the river beach. The submarines he got last time have been completely dismantled.

  Although Qin Tao has ordered to pay attention to environmental protection, there are still specks of oil stains on the river beach, which look like scars.

  The additional workers hired by the shipyard were sitting on the river beach, smoking cigarettes, and staring at the place where the ship had been dismantled.

   "Fourth, do you think we still have work to do?" Kong Lao Er said next to Zhao Lao Si.

Once, they came to the shipyard together to steal scrap iron, and were caught by Qin Tao, and then stayed. Now, they are all used to working here, no need to steal, no need to rob, as long as they rely on their own Work hard and you can make a lot of money.

It's just that none of them are formal workers, they are just hired by the shipyard, and they are considered to be part-time workers. Among them, only Ma Laoliu has mastered the skills of a first-hand welder, which can be regarded as the same treatment as regular employees. , I still don't have that identity. Now that the ship is dismantled, what do they do next?

   "Yes, there must be. Qin Gong will not abandon us." Zhao Laosi said.

   "We haven't seen Qin Gong for a long time, shouldn't we ignore us? Fourth, you have a tractor, even if you don't work here, you can still get a living, let's..."

   "Wang Mazi, what are you talking about? You can bury me, but you can't say something bad about Qin Gong! If you dare to speak ill of Qin Gong, I'll kill you!" Fourth Zhao's eyes widened.

   "What are you doing?" Just then, a voice came from behind.

   "Qin Gong?"

   "Qin Gong is back!"

   "Qin Gong, we are full of strength, find us some work to do!"

   All of a sudden, a group of people surrounded Qin Tao, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

   "Recently we have taken on a big project." Qin Tao said: "We are still waiting for the other party's reply. When the contract is negotiated, the big guys will have to do it, but..."

   "Qin Gong, you can give orders! We will follow you up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire!" Zhao Laosi said.

   "Yes, Qin Gong, we are not afraid of hard work!" Kong Laoer also expressed his determination.

   "The most important thing is that this job is not in our Mingzhou, but in Chongming Island in Huating." Qin Tao said: "The environment there is relatively poor..."

   "Qin Gong, don't worry, we are not afraid of leaving our hometown. What age is it? If you spend your whole life guarding your wife and children, you are useless!"

   "Yes, it is!"

   "Everyone follow me, and I will not treat you badly. At that time, not only will you be paid, but you will also be given an extra travel allowance." Qin Tao said this, and everyone cheered.

Mingzhou Shipyard has never been stingy in paying wages. The big guys have also heard of those who went out to work and met unscrupulous bosses. If they didn't come to pay, they worked with Mingzhou Shipyard. They felt at ease .

   "Long live!" Someone shouted this slogan.

  Qin Tao's face changed: "Hey, who is that, what are you yelling? Shut up!"

  The guy who was shouting slogans just now shut up instantly, his face flushed, and everyone laughed.

   "We will set off in about three days. In the past few days, you should take care of your family affairs, so don't be lingering on this river beach. Okay, let's leave!"

  Everyone obeyed Qin Tao's words, and immediately dispersed obediently.

  By the time Qin Tao came to the dock of the shipyard, everyone had already received the news, and they were all very happy.

   "Qin Gong, our dredger is almost finished." Zhao Changshui said: "At least one hundred people can be spared for you. If not enough, two hundred people will be enough."

Qin Tao nodded in satisfaction. The formal workers of these shipyards admire Qin Tao even more. They will never forget that when the shipyard was in a desperate situation, it was Qin Tao who traveled thousands of miles and even took risks to let the shipyard Rejuvenated.

  As long as Qin Tao says a word, everyone will have no hesitation.

"One hundred people is enough. You need to bring all kinds of equipment, cutting, welding, rolling and pressing equipment, and some spare steel plates. We need a ship." Qin Tao said Speak out these thoughts of your own.

  Zhao Changshui nodded: "Qin Gong, leave it to us, and take care of all these properly."

  Qin Tao wanted to say something, but the phone rang. He picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and put it on his ear.

   "Uncle Liu? Drinking, forget it, I'm still busy here. What? Is there something good in the scrap iron pile? Okay, I'll go and have a look."

   After explaining to Zhao Changshui again, Qin Tao drove the Santana in the factory and went straight to the Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

  When the steel scrap was loaded onto the ship, it was at night, so he couldn't see it very clearly. Perhaps there were treasures inside, thinking so, Qin Tao came to Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

  In the iron and steel factory, there is a lively scene. In addition to the original steel-making workers, some additional people are hired to do odd jobs. It is the job of these people to sort the scrap steel into categories.

   "Uncle Liu, you are really careful." Qin Tao looked at the scrap steel that had been divided into several piles, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  During the construction of warships, different steel materials are used in different parts. Here, a lot of experience has been summed up from the steel materials of submarines. Different steel materials can be easily identified and placed in different categories.

  Liu Minggang took Qin Tao to the front of a small pile of steel.

   From the surface, these steel materials are rusty, and they seem to be no different from ordinary steel materials. However, Liu Minggang took out a magnet and put it on it, and saw the magnet slide down from the surface of the steel plate.

"Did you see? These steels cannot be attracted by magnets." Liu Minggang said: "Our steel mill has purchased all kinds of scrap steel. Except for stainless steel, which cannot be attracted, we have never seen other steels like this. "

  Stainless steel can also rust, of course, any steel will rust, including non-ferrous metals, which is called corrosion in scientific name, which is a chemical reaction in which part or all of the metal surface peels off, dissolves or softens.

   However, the rusty color of stainless steel is not like this, they don't know what kind of steel it is.

  Qin Tao's eyes lit up, it's not magnetic, it's not stainless steel, if he guessed right...

   "This should be a precious metal material, probably a titanium alloy." Qin Tao said, "Let's do a material analysis. These scrap steel should be put in the warehouse, and it may be useful in the future."

   This pile of steel is about one or two tons in total, but if it is a waste of titanium alloy steel plate, it is still quite profitable. Just think about how expensive a titanium alloy spectacle frame is.

  About the steel used in warships, there are many rumors, among which the Varyag steel is the most amazing.

  For example, some "brickmakers" say that Varyag steel can naturally resist seawater corrosion. Even if it is rusty, the inside is still bright after removing the rust spots on the surface.

  In fact, as long as any piece of steel plate has not been embroidered, and the rust on the surface is polished off, the inside must be the original color of the metal.

   Then, this statement was spread even more miraculously. How good is the steel of Laowa? After several years, the steel of Laowa still has no magnetism, and there is no need for degaussing at all.

This is even more nonsense for laymen. Before any warship leaves the factory, it will be wound with a circle of cables for artificial degaussing operations. Laowa is no exception. Even after artificial degaussing, due to the magnetic field of nature itself , Warships must undergo reverse degaussing after sailing for several years.

  If you want to be naturally non-magnetic, then there is only a special alloy such as titanium alloy.

When it was first shipped, it was carried by electromagnets. However, there were not many scraps of these titanium alloys, which were mixed with ordinary steel plates, like the cream in the middle of Oreo, and they were still carried on board. .

Only Lao Maozi can luxuriously use titanium alloy to build ships. Generally speaking, they are used to build submarines. However, it is said that they have also used titanium alloy to build a batch of ships such as minesweepers. It is estimated that these titanium alloys are made of To build minesweepers.

"Well, Qin Gong, listen to you." Liu Minggang said: "It's getting late now, let's go after eating with us, Uncle Liu has to drink with you, thank you for your help to our Mingzhou Iron and Steel Plant .”

  Qin Tao glanced at Liu Minggang: "Uncle Liu, is this your real purpose?"

   "Drinking is just a process, not a goal. Uncle Liu also wants to ask you about the future development of our steel plant." Liu Minggang said.

  Qin Tao nodded: "It's fine to say these things, but I came here by car, so I can't drink."

   "Uncle Liu finds a driver to take you back."

  In the private room of the cafeteria of the iron and steel factory, Liu Minggang drank a glass of wine.

"Qin Gong, you have made great contributions to our steel plant. Without you, the steel plant would not have grown to its current scale." Liu Minggang said: "We are now using Lao Maozi's scrap steel to smelt advanced marine steel, which cannot last long. I have been thinking, can we use iron ore to smelt advanced steel?"

At the beginning, Liu Minggang brought the Mingzhou Shipyard out of the predicament by smelting scrap steel. Now, they have grown stronger, so Liu Minggang has also expanded again. He wants to smelt steel, and he also needs to smelt advanced steel !

Looking at Liu Minggang's fiery eyes, Qin Tao said seriously: "Uncle Liu, this requires a lot of investment. We need new equipment, new technology, and technical research. If it fails, it may even make people Steel mills are carrying a heavy burden."

   "Taozi, you are underestimating your Uncle Liu's courage. Uncle Liu still has some aggressiveness. You Uncle Liu has ideals. We want to build world-class marine steel!"

  Qin Tao is getting stronger and stronger, so Liu Minggang also started to call him Qin Gong in normal times. Only when he drank at the same table did he pretend to be an elder and call him Taozi.
