Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 235: Powerful Commuter Ship

When Hu Jiangshan arrived at Jiangjun Island, he immediately went to the Special Tools R&D and Manufacturing Center.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan entered the facility, he looked towards the workshop, but he didn't see anything.

Where is the boat?

Where is the commuter ship?

Hu Jiangshan changed his mind and realized that it was impossible for a large ship to appear here.

Firstly, the commuter ship is too large. Although the workshop area is also large, it is difficult to accommodate such a large ship. There is no place to put dozens of industrial-grade 3D printers, and they will be squeezed out.

Where is that ship?

If it is possible to build a ship that big, there is no reason why there would be no place to put it.

Hu Jiangshan immediately went to the central control console and called up the manufacturing list.

【Medium-sized commuter ship: construction completed】

Sure enough, the commuter boat had been built.

The question is where is the ship?
Hu Jiangshan pulled out the structural diagram of the facility and finally figured it out.

As mentioned earlier, this facility is built in an underground cave near the sea, and one end of the cave leads to the sea.

So the dedicated shipbuilding part of the facility is not here.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the facility structure diagram again and came to the end of a corridor.

Sure enough, I saw a door.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan has been to this facility many times, but he still hasn't figured out its structure.

For example, this door, Hu Jiangshan had never opened it before, and he thought it was a safe passage.

Hu Jiangshan pressed his fingerprint and the door opened automatically.

There was another corridor, but it was very short, only about 20 to 30 meters. Then there was another door. I swiped my fingerprint again to open the door, and the view in front of me suddenly opened.

Just as Hu Jiangshan guessed, there is a dock here.

There are several large machines in the dock, which are oversized industrial-grade 3D printers.

It's really black technology. At this time, there are probably no more than three countries that can produce such 3D printers, or maybe only two. Moreover, their performance in all aspects is definitely not as good as the ones Hu Jiangshan saw.

Judging from the size of this shipyard, it is not very large, but it can easily build medium-sized ships.

There are two berths in total, which means that theoretically two ships can be built at the same time.

There was a ship docked in one of the berths, which was the commuter boat designed by Hu Jiangshan earlier.

Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally built. It was really not easy from design to construction.

Although this commuter boat is a medium-sized vessel, it looks large and has a wide hull. It is designed to withstand strong waves, storms, and even typhoons.

The commuter boat has two floors and two large lounges. If full, it can accommodate about fifty people and a maximum of seventy people.

Although the number of people is not large, it is enough at this stage.

Hu Jiangshan also designed a large cargo hold that can hold chip transport boxes.

Today, the shipment volume of Ascend 910 is just over units. If they are packed more compactly, they should be able to fit in.

If all else fails, you can also put the transport box in the lounge.

Anyway, there is enough space on the boat.

Hu Jiangshan came to the cockpit. Although it was the first time to start the engine, it was not difficult for Hu Jiangshan. He operated it smoothly. After all, this was his design and to a certain extent referred to the operating procedures of the Seahorse.

According to the design, this commuter boat uses hybrid power, that is, electric and diesel driving mode, mainly powered by electricity, and is equipped with large power batteries.

So when I pressed the start button, there was no sound of an engine, it was all powered by electricity.

In other words, this ship is essentially an all-electrically propelled ship, and the diesel engine is only used to generate electricity, not steam-driven.

The fixed arm was released, the anchor was raised, and the commuter boat slowly moved to the end of the dock.

Following a dull sound, the closed door at the end opened, and the sunlight shone in, which was quite dazzling for a moment.

The sea is outside.

The commuter boat slowly sailed out, then suddenly accelerated and soon left the waters of General Island.

Although this commuter ship is large in size, it is not slow at all, with a maximum speed that can even reach thirty knots.

This is a very fast speed for a civilian ship.

Of course, there are risks in sailing too fast. Normally, it is enough if the boat can sail steadily at 25 knots.

At this speed, it would only take a few minutes to reach Tenglong Island.

At the same time, Tenglong Island Pier.

Zhang Rui, Du Jiahui and several other team members stood on the shore, looking at the vast Tenglong Bay with anxious looks on their faces.

The captain of the boat was sitting not far away, and seemed helpless as well.

You can also see a man talking on the phone not far away.

The man's name is Guo Di, he is about thirty years old and looks very professional and capable.

Guo Di is from Huayao and was sent here to receive this batch of Ascend chips.

It was supposed to be an exciting thing, but Guo Di ran into big trouble.

The captain's boat broke down.

This is really terrible. Although the chips can be transported after the ship is repaired, the higher-ups are urging us to do so. And according to the plan, we must go to the Hong Kong Island cargo yard today to go through customs clearance procedures.

This has already been notified to the relevant departments. If it is one day late, the entire transportation process may be delayed for two more days.

"Yes, it's really unlucky. The boat is broken and needs major repairs. The captain said it might not be repaired until tomorrow."

"There is really nothing we can do as we cannot borrow a suitable boat right now."

"But the boss here, yes, Boss Hu, said there might be a way, but he hasn't come back yet, so I don't know if it will work."

"I see. I'll wait a little longer and report back as soon as I have any news."

Guo Di said a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Guo Di walked up to Zhang Rui and the others with a worried look on his face, then looked back at the captain's boat.

"This boat doesn't look old, how could it suddenly break down? The captain is really stupid, he didn't check it thoroughly before going out, it really delayed things."

Zhang Rui waved his hand: "The condition of the ship is really uncertain. Unless we do a deep inspection, we won't be able to find any problems at all."

Du Jiahui also nodded in agreement.

Both of them are locals from Hong Kong Island. Most of their relatives and friends work in the fishing industry. They know that it is normal for the boat to break down when going out to sea to fish.

It was such a coincidence that such a thing happened today.

Du Jiahui said: "Why don't we ask other shipping companies to see if they have any large ships?"

Zhang Rui shook his head. "I asked just now. Now is the fishing season. Most of the fishing grounds are at sea. The rest are small boats that can only fish near the coast. Professional shipping companies do have ships, but we dare not ask them... We don't trust them."

When Du Jiahui heard this, he suddenly understood.

Although chips are not something that can be seen in the light, at this stage, they do need to be kept strictly confidential.

You have to know that there are intelligence personnel from many countries hiding in Hong Kong Island. It is a place that seems calm on the surface, but actually has undercurrents.

If this matter is really spread by someone with ulterior motives, especially to the beacon country on the other side of the ocean, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, it is right not to look for those professional shipping companies. This is also Huayao’s consistent principle.

But now dozens of boxes of Shengteng chips are piled up on the dock, and it is quite embarrassing to be stuck here. Zhang Rui said: "Don't worry, wait for the boss to come, he should have a solution."

Du Jiahui nodded.

The boss Hu Jiangshan is really not an ordinary person. He can do what others cannot. If he says he can solve a problem, it can most likely be done.

But Zhang Rui and others were also very curious about how the boss could solve the problem.
Unless he can repair the boat, or just get a boat over here.

It seems that neither of these two methods can be accomplished in the short term!

Just then, a boatman shouted, "Look over there, in the distance, there's a boat coming in!"

Another boatman also said: "Ah, there really is one, it's a pretty big boat!"

Everyone looked into the distance and saw that a ship had entered Tenglong Bay and was coming at a fairly fast speed. It looked like a large ship.

The captain said, "Wow, that ship is very fast. It should be a wide-body ship, and it should be used for transportation."

A moment later, the ship was approaching the dock and everyone could see it more clearly.

"Wow! That boat is so beautiful!"

"What a big ship! It has plenty of power! It must be able to travel at least 20 knots."

"Isn't this the boat the boss found?"

"Is this true? Where did the boss get such a nice boat?"

At this time, some people were surprised to find that the engine sound of the ship was almost inaudible, and the chimney was very thin, so no smoke could be seen coming out.

Only high-end yachts can have such an effect.

As they were talking, the ship had already docked.

This ship actually has an automatic locking device for docking. A mechanical arm directly connects to the bolt on the dock and then drops anchor.

When Hu Jiangshan came down from the mountain, everyone realized that this was indeed the boat the boss had gotten.

Everyone went up to it, looked left and right, and felt that the ship was so beautiful.

Although it is not as luxurious as a yacht, it is much more spacious than a yacht.

In terms of shape, it looks more like a sightseeing boat, but it has a strong sense of design and is very exquisite.

What matters is that the boat looks brand new.

When the captain saw the ship, his eyes lit up and he was extremely envious.

The captain of the ship came forward and said to Hu Jiangshan, "Boss Hu, whose ship is this? It looks great! But the design seems to be something I have never seen before. It is very rare. Is it specially customized?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Captain, you really have a good eye. This boat is specially customized."

"Whose boat is this? Boss Hu, can you tell me?"

"My boat."

"……what?"

"The boat our company ordered is for employees to commute."

"Ah, that's amazing, it must have cost a small amount of money."

When Zhang Rui, Du Jiahui and others heard this, their eyes widened.

"Boss, is this ship used for commuting? Is it for our employees to commute?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded.

Everyone became excited all of a sudden.

In the past, they took ordinary transport ships to travel from Hong Kong Island to Jiangjun Island or Tenglong Island, or to commute between the two outlying islands.

The boat is very old and you can smell a musty smell when you sit in the cabin.

It would be great to have a new boat to use for commuting.

Zhang Rui and others couldn't stop laughing.

“This boat looks very comfortable.”

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "You can go in and take a look."

Zhang Rui quickly called Du Jiahui to board the boat. The two of them looked excited, like children with a new toy.

At this time, Guo Di came up and said, "Boss Hu, can this ship transport chips?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Of course, that's why we brought the boat back early."

"Oh, that's great, it really helps a lot."

Hu Jiangshan said: "It's getting late, let's move quickly."

The captain also breathed a sigh of relief.

His own boat suddenly broke down, it was bad luck, and he was just sulking to himself.

If I failed to complete the order, I would feel embarrassed to collect the full payment. Now that I have a boat, I can finally get to work.

"Okay, guys, let's get started."

The boatmen immediately got ready and started loading the chip transport boxes onto the ship.

There were dozens of boxes of chips in total, and it was actually very quick to move them.

The next day, Guangzhou-Shenzhen City, Wyndham Hotel.

This hotel is located in a relatively good area in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with good supporting facilities, but it is not too crowded and lively, making it a good place to find peace and quiet in a bustling city.

Although this Wyndham Hotel is a resort hotel, its price is relatively moderate, so many business people who come here on business trips will also stay in such hotels.

To be honest, it is much more comfortable than ordinary business hotels.

At this time, Jiang Jinlong was sitting in the cafe next to the lobby on the first floor, staring at the screen of his laptop and concentrating on the code.

There was a cup of coffee on the table. Jiang Jinlong hadn't touched it for a long time and it had become completely cold.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Jinlong is the chief technology officer of HKUST Feixun, and a technology guru.

Almost all of HKUST Feixun’s products are related to him. Especially in the development of artificial intelligence, Jiang Jinlong is very famous in the world.

Jiang Jinlong came to Guangzhou-Shenzhen the day before yesterday. He came here for no other reason than to purchase goods from Huayao.

What goods do you want?
In fact, it is the Ascend 910 chip.

The situation is very tense now. HKUST has received news that some congressmen from the beacon country across the ocean have compiled a proposal and submitted it to the Senate.

According to normal procedures, senators must vote first, and then the Speaker will decide whether the proposal is passed.

Although this was only submitted by members of the House of Representatives, such a proposal can easily be passed in the Senate, and even the Speaker's hurdle will not be a big problem.

Eventually, this proposal was submitted to the White House, and the President of the Lighthouse Country would most likely sign it in order to win the hearts of the people.

To put it bluntly, in the near future, it may be difficult for Chinese artificial intelligence companies to buy the latest products from EagleVision.

All other companies also went crazy and were asking about Huayao's Ascend chip.

Some companies with strong strength and high mobility have already sent people here.

At this time, HKUST Feixun cannot be negligent.

Although Keda Feixun has signed a supply contract with Huayao, the delivery time is not specified. If someone else takes the goods away first, it will be a big trouble.

This kind of thing has happened before. It is most likely to happen when purchasing from foreign suppliers, so there is no guarantee that Huayao will not do this.

There are several companies that are more willing to spend money than HKUST Feixun.
