Chapter 380: Made in Australia
Wang Ze looked at the design drawing in his hand with concentration, and discussed it with the designers who came specially from the research institute.
Their attention was focused on the intricate mechanical structure in the hull, especially the nuclear power plant at the bottom of the ship. This was Wang Ze's first attempt, so he was extra cautious.
After all, he will use this ship in the future, and there are also scientific researchers and government departments involved, so how could he dare to be careless?
Throughout the morning, Wang Ze did not rush to start manufacturing, but communicated with the designers to carefully understand the details of each structure.
It was not until noon, after everyone had a simple meal brought by the mountain base guards at the dock, that Wang Ze officially started the manufacturing process.
According to the design, the total length of this cruise ship reaches 365 meters and the designed tonnage is as high as tons.
And because light steel is used as the main material, its actual size appears to be almost 300,000 tons in the eyes of outsiders.
Such a huge volume is approaching the limit of what the dock can accommodate. If the cruise ship wants to be further expanded, even the dock itself will have to be replaced.
Wang Ze built it up layer by layer in an orderly manner according to the design drawings, including the waterproof cabin, power structure and the most core nuclear power body.
Wang Ze was very careful in every step of the construction, fearing that if something was not done well, there would be trouble in the future. This was not like other things. If there were problems with other things, they could just be repaired. But if the nuclear power structure had problems when taking people out to sea, it would not be as simple as repairing it.
The integrated pressurized water reactor was directly generated by Wang Ze using his superpowers. It has a tight structure and every detail has been carefully designed and polished to ensure that there will be no leakage problems.
After connecting to the direct current steam generator, the whole system is like a solid fortress, indestructible.
All the pipes are made of one-piece light steel without any welding points. These light steel pipes are two centimeters thick, which can ensure that they will not have any problems even if they encounter extremely harsh weather or are attacked by weapons, thus ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities.
Scientists at the scientific research base nearby participated in the whole process and provided professional guidance from time to time.
While Wang Ze was in the process of manufacturing, scientists from relevant scientific research bases were beside him guiding him step by step.
This is also the first time for them. Although they have already designed it, the fact that they can actually manufacture it according to their ideas is what makes these scientists excited. These things are like their children.
This time, they personally participated in the manufacturing, and they all had some ideas about future optimization.
It’s a pity that only the clan leader has this ability. They will definitely reduce the manufacturing difficulty when designing in the future.
After the bottom power was completed, the progress was accelerated, but after completing the two-layer structure, it slowed down again.
This is the weapons storage and launching level.
There is storage space for a large number of missiles, and various automatic robotic arms are densely distributed on this floor.
Especially the launching port, because of the need to be concealed, the mechanical structure is even more complicated. Fortunately, all the parts are made of light steel, otherwise it would be a hassle to maintain them in the future.
Anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-submarine bombs, rapid-fire machine guns, these weapons launch firing ports are completed one by one.
Wang Ze directly operated and turned on the power, and then made a detailed inspection of this layer to see if it could meet the design requirements during operation.
"Automation is not enough." Wang Ze looked at the missile launch port opening and closing, and then looked at the internal weapon filling system.
It still requires a lot of manpower to complete the work, which is far from the one-click completion he required.
"It's a precision issue. The current chip is still not good enough to meet your requirements. We have to wait until the chip performance reaches a certain level in the future." A designer nearby explained after seeing the on-site operation.
They understood what Wang Ze meant by fully automatic operation, but today's chip equipment could not do it. The semi-automatic design they had now was already a headache for them.
Wang Ze nodded and didn't say anything else. Although he was not satisfied, it was not easy to achieve this level in the 1960s.
Although this ship is luxurious, it requires hundreds of people to operate it. If you include the service staff, it will take more than a thousand people.
Wang Ze looked at the blueprint in silence for a long time and then said, "Let's modify the design and add more rest cabins, at least to a thousand rooms."
Wang Ze decided that in the future, in addition to serving Nanhua and his needs, this ship would also be used by the people of Nanhua.
After all, he felt it was a waste of resources if a company with more than a thousand people only served the government.
All large enterprises in Nanhua are state-owned enterprises, and this ship can be regarded as a gift back to the people of Nanhua.
Of course, the premise of all this is that it does not affect his use, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Although Wang Ze chose this ship for external operation at this moment, he did not cancel the weapon configuration.
You can do without it, but you can’t live without it.
However, this configuration must be kept secret, otherwise such a cruise ship fully loaded with weapons can easily destroy a city. If other countries knew about it, who would dare to let the ship dock?
Modifying a design drawing is not as simple as a sentence.
It has little impact on the lower structure, but the various designs on the upper floors will change as the number of guest rooms increases, which is no less than a redesign for the designers.
But this was just Wang Ze's request. If anyone else proposed to modify the drawings halfway, or make such a big change, they would just throw the drawings in the other person's face.
They had been busy in the dock for nearly ten days. Wang Zecai didn't want to wait here any longer for them to complete the drawings. After giving instructions, he took Wang Hua and left the shipyard.
After returning to the mountain base, Wang Jixin received a phone call.
"We have just received a meeting request from Australia. They want to join ASEAN," said Wang Jixin.
When Wang Ze heard this, his face was full of question marks. ASEAN is an organization participated by Southeast Asian countries. Why are you, Australia, getting involved?
