Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 61: 200-ton fast transport ship construction

After arriving at the dock, Wang Jiankun did not drive the boat immediately, but went to the management office to learn about the dock usage standards.

There are three types of dock usage: long-term lease, short-term lease and temporary docking. Long-term leases are generally leased by state-owned shipping companies, which have regular passenger ships docking to pick up and drop off passengers every day.

Short-term leases are generally for half a month to three months when a collective fleet has business needs, but the price is much more favorable than temporary docking, and the dock will be kept and not occupied during the short-term lease.

Before the temporary docking, there were many boats that did not plan to dock at this pier but had to do so sometimes due to something else. In the past six months, there have been more boats that have been rented or bought by individuals. Some places have been liberalized to allow individuals to rent or buy, so the number of such boats that have come to dock has gradually increased.

Wang Jiankun learned that there are now private individuals renting or buying ships for transportation, and he is more confident about setting up a fleet in the future.

So we chose a short-term lease for three months, and rented two docks, one for docking the current Experimental No. 3, and the other for docking the K1 model that will be manufactured soon.

After paying the fee and getting the receipt and boat ticket, Wang Jiankun went to the dock and sailed to Wuyuan County.

Wang Jiankun drove at a speed of 30 knots on the road from Hukou Town to Poyang County, trying to stay away from slow-moving cargo tugboats and passenger ships.

What Wang Jiankun didn't know was that his fast speed had stunned the passengers and the captain along the way. Some people who rented boats themselves shouted to Wang Jiankun, wanting to ask him where he bought such a fast boat.

Wang Jiankun ignored it. He had no plans to mass-produce this type of ship for the time being because it was difficult to tell where the ship came from. After establishing good contact with his uncle's company, he could use the name of an overseas company as a cover and then consider how to sell this fast transport ship.

After arriving in Poyang County, Wang Jiankun reduced the speed to 25 knots, and then tested the newly manufactured equipment on the road while manufacturing the autopilot system.

The system's processor and DSP are still manufactured using the most advanced 10-micron process. However, because there is no need to pay special attention to volume and heat dissipation on the ship, the size is relatively large. Of course, the performance has also increased several times.

It was already dark when they arrived at Sizhou Town. Wang Jiankun quickly made dinner and continued on his journey after eating.

Wang Jiankun decided to test the automatic driving system on the waterway from Sizhou Town to the temporary wharf, and set the speed at 5 knots for safety reasons.

At the beginning, the ship swayed from side to side. This was caused by the poor coordination of feedback processing between the computer control and the mechanical system. Wang Jiankun changed the parameters after testing a section. Even when they arrived at the temporary dock, the ship was still not able to operate smoothly under the control of the automatic driving system.

It was already late, so Wang Jiankun decided to continue testing next time. The autonomous driving system must be successfully developed. Only when the autonomous driving is successful can he drive the boat out to sea alone to collect materials for the nuclear reactor.

Wang Jiankun got off the boat at the temporary dock, rode his motorcycle to the underground base, and prepared to have a good sleep.

After arriving at the base, Wang Jiankun checked the message from the local machine. His father told him that the things that his uncle asked Cheng Yong to bring back had been sent to the scrap recycling station and received by Ye Wei. He asked him to get them from Ye Wei after receiving the message, and also asked Wang Jiankun why he couldn't find anyone on Sunday.

Wang Jiankun replied to his father that he had been to Hukou Town and was preparing to form a team to develop in Jiangsu Province and the north. He asked his father and grandfather to help select people from the team to be sent to Hukou Town and Jiangsu Province. He also needed to find some people who were not prone to motion sickness and learn how to drive a boat from Wang Jiankun so that a fleet could be formed.

His father did not reply to the message he sent. Wang Jiankun looked at the time and it was already 11 o'clock, so he must have gone to bed.

Although I want to get the technical information sent by my uncle and Peter as soon as possible, it is not a good idea to go to the scrap recycling station to find Ye Wei now. It is better to go early tomorrow morning.

------

On November 1981, 11, the weather after the beginning of winter was getting colder day by day. Wang Jiankun got up early with strong willpower and went to the waste recycling station first.

At this time, Ye Wei was already doing morning exercises. He did not slack off because of the inconvenience of one foot. Except for some particularly difficult movements that he could not do, he performed a set of military boxing quite well.

Wang Jiankun had learned from him before. With his extraordinary memory and the ability to lock onto the opponent's movements in advance, his military boxing was twice as powerful. However, he felt that it was safest to win by intelligence. It would be very dangerous to have to win by hand-to-hand combat.

Only after Ye Wei finished his training did Wang Jiankun go into the yard to find Ye Wei.

"Brother Ye, my dad brought some packages from Guangshi. Can you please give them to me? He was not in the county yesterday and didn't come to pick them up."

"Good morning, Jiankun. I'll go get it from the house."

After saying that, he went into the house, and after a while he came out leaning on a crutch, carrying a big package.

Seeing that the package was not small, Wang Jiankun hurried over to take the package, picked it up with both hands, moved it to the back seat of the motorcycle and tied it up.

After saying goodbye to Ye Wei, he hurried to the base.

On the way, Wang Jiankun projected everything in the package into his mind. When he arrived at the base, he opened the package, looked at the cover, put down the information, got on his motorcycle and rushed to school.

"Wang Jiankun, where did you go on Sunday? I couldn't find you even if I tried."

"I went to a far place and only came back last night. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to learn English from you. You've helped my English teacher improve his speaking skills so much. Can you help me too?"

"I help the English teacher? Where did you hear that?"

"Haha, you confessed as soon as I tricked you. I just guessed. I didn't expect you to really help the English teacher improve his speaking skills."

"How did you guess?"

"Your accent in morning reading is very similar to that of your English teacher. Before, the English teacher rarely spoke English sentences in class, but later she started speaking more and more, even asking questions in English, and she often asked you for cooperation, so I guessed that you helped her."

"Great, my detective squad leader. Since you have already guessed it, let me tell you about the English teaching plan. Didn't I promise to let you join the training club? Then I will try my best to teach you the methods of each subject as the first batch of formal members. So don't worry, just follow the study materials I give you."

"Okay, but you have to teach me pronunciation first. Before, I was so busy asking you to read to me that I didn't learn how to read from you. What a mistake!" said squad leader Yu Zirun in annoyance.

"Okay, I'll teach you according to the ABC radio, and when you're proficient I'll teach you the BBC radio spelling method."

So in the morning, Wang Jiankun taught the ABC radio spelling method several times. In fact, the class monitor Yu Zirun had listened to so many of his morning reading lessons and knew most of them, but he had not studied them systematically and his reading was not fluent.

After finishing his math class in the morning, Wang Jiankun went to the class teacher, Mr. He, to ask for three days off from Tuesday to Thursday.

When the head teacher saw him asking for leave, it was difficult to refuse, because if he refused, Wang Jiankun might go to the leaders to ask for leave. Now the principal, grade director and others all cherish him very much, because if nothing unexpected happens, this school will have a top scorer in the college entrance examination, and that is Wang Jiankun.

The request for leave went smoothly. Teacher He signed the note, reminded him to be careful and let him go.

After returning to the classroom, Wang Jiankun gave the note to his deskmate Yu Zirun, asking her to keep it and show it to the teacher if any of the teachers asked about it.

Yu Zirun did ask him why he wanted leave, and Wang Jiankun said that he had something at home that he had to go back to deal with. Although his desk mate didn't believe it, he had no choice but to accept the note since he knew that Wang Jiankun was not telling the truth.

After the afternoon class, Wang Jiankun ran back to the base, made some dry food at the base, and then used a motorcycle to transport several trips of metal from the base and the scrap recycling station to the temporary dock.

At the temporary dock, Wang Jiankun remodeled Experiment No. 1 according to Sohn's design drawings.

The hull shape has been optimized again according to the navigation data. The speed will remain unchanged, but it will be more fuel-efficient.

A more comfortable seat is made in the cab, where one can rest when the boat is operating automatically.

In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, a crane was also built that can lift goods weighing 1 ton and move them a distance of 8 meters.

After the manufacturing was completed, Wang Jiankun shook the control lever to lift the metal and gasoline from the temporary dock into the cargo hold one by one.

After the lifting is completed, the crane boom is folded up and the ship is started to set sail.

Continuing the unfinished autonomous driving system experiment yesterday, the ship will stop after driving a few kilometers to adjust the software system or mechanical system.

In fact, according to the information and simulation tests that Zhizi consulted, the best control method is to use motors and sensors.

But Wang Jiankun had concerns. Such a system was too advanced and it would be hard to explain if it was discovered. However, with existing hardware, even if it was discovered, it could be explained.

They walked and stopped like this until they arrived at Sizhou Town, where Wang Jiankun found a fishing boat pier to dock.

Because Wang Jiankun's boat was much taller than ordinary fishing boats, he couldn't even build a gangway. He had no other choice but to use his superpowers to build a three-section gangway under the cover of night. He also made it into a foldable and retractable structure so that he could dock at different docks in the future.

Wang Jiankun took a nap on the boat that night. The heating was on in the captain's lounge, so Wang Jiankun slept very comfortably.

The next morning, Wang Jiankun used his superpowers to make a bicycle and rode it to the warehouse he rented at Dexing Copper Mine.

I checked the surveillance system and defense system outside the warehouse and found nothing unusual. The administrator had already gotten up and was cooking porridge and steaming corn on a small kerosene stove.

Wang Jiankun went in and greeted the administrator, asking him to pay attention to fire safety and not to use open flames in the warehouse, then rode his bike to find Du Weiqiao.

"Boss Du, good morning!"

"Good morning, Jiankun. You're here so early. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go eat something together." "No, it's a good opportunity for me to have breakfast with you."

"Then let's go to the newly opened breakfast shop. The fried noodles taste delicious and are hygienic."

At Cuihua Breakfast Shop, the two chatted while eating.

"Boss Du, please help me find a car to take some lighters from the warehouse I rented to the dock in Sizhou Town. I want to ship them to Su Province."

"Okay, I'll just make a phone call when I get back. I use the truck quite often now, so I'm quite familiar with the management of the freight station."

"Thank you very much. When I open up the water transport channel, you can also ask me to transport your goods when they arrive!"

"Brother Jiankun, your ability is unfathomable. Ships are hard to come by now. How did you get your ship?"

"Let me keep you in suspense for a while, and I'll tell you in detail later."

"Okay, it's okay if it's later. Your fleet will give priority to transporting my goods then."

The two separated after dinner, and Wang Jiankun went to the warehouse to wait for the vehicle that Du Weiqiao had helped to find for transportation.

After a while, a truck came. Wang Jiankun called the driver, gave him a pack of cigarettes with filters, and asked him to help move the lighter onto the truck.

Then Wang Jiankun asked the warehouse manager to take care of the remaining goods and followed the truck to the Sizhou Town Pier.

Once we arrive at the dock, there is no need for manpower to unload the car and then load it onto the ship. Just have the driver drive the car in reverse to the dock near Experiment 1.

Wang Jiankun went on board and controlled the crane to lift boxes of lighters onto the ship. The driver was amazed and said he had never seen such a high-end ship with its own crane.

After paying the driver, Wang Jiankun drove the boat to Poyang County. Because the 3 lighters were very light and did not affect the speed of the boat, under the control of the automatic driving system, the boat successfully reached Huiwan where it had temporarily anchored last time.

It was almost 11 o'clock at this time. Wang Jiankun first heated up the dry food in the kitchen. After eating, he began to manufacture the K200 fast transport ship.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. Under the influence of superpowers, the iron elements under the river surface and some chromium, molybdenum, manganese and other elements brought by Experiment No. 1 gathered on the river surface in a certain order.

Starting from the water surface, the nearly transparent bottom hull was formed first, then gradually widened and lengthened and tilted upward. After it grew to 25 meters in length and 6.6 meters in width, it stopped expanding outward.

Wang Jiankun stopped using his superpowers to check the size, curvature, etc. This was the first time he had made such a large object, so the construction process was also a rare experience.

After the size was confirmed, he continued to use his superpowers to mobilize elements. The hull, which originally had a draft of only 20 centimeters, gradually became thicker and the color was not as shiny.

When the thickness reached the design in the drawing, Wang Jiankun stopped to check it, and then continued to manufacture the various equipment and structural parts of the bottom cabin according to the drawing in his mind.

The two gasoline engines, gearboxes, main shafts and propellers took more time.

After these main components are manufactured, the corresponding accessories such as fuel tanks, generators, transformers, various pipelines, etc. will be produced.

After the bottom cabin was completed, iron and silicon elements from the riverbed were mobilized as ballast, and then further tests were carried out.

1 kilograms of gasoline were hoisted from Experiment No. 100 onto the K200 semi-finished product, and the oil was added to the fuel tank through an oil pipe. Then, carbon, hydrogen, silicon and other elements under the river surface were mobilized to make lubricating oil and added to the rotating parts.

After refueling, the gasoline engine was started successfully at once, and then the transmission system was loaded and the propeller began to turn slowly.

The semi-finished K200 moved slowly. Because the anchor had been built and sunk to the bottom of the river, the semi-finished K200 was slowly turning in the bay.

After testing the power system and electrical appliances to make sure they are all OK, stop the engine and let the boat slowly come to a stop.

Next the lower deck was built, followed by the cargo hold and lower passenger cabin.

Then lay the upper deck, build the cabin above the deck, the cockpit, and the external measuring instruments for automatic driving such as radar, compass, sextant, etc.

The whole process lasted more than 3 hours.

After the manufacturing was completed, Wang Jiankun climbed onto the K200 fast transport ship that had undergone many optimization and adjustments.

Looking out from the cockpit, Experiment No. 1 next to it looked like a small fishing boat.

First turn on the power system, let the battery charge, and let the gasoline engine and gearbox lubricate and preheat.

Then control the crane to lift the lighter, gasoline, and some unused metals on Experiment No. 1 to the cargo hold in front.

Because the ship is larger and longer, the crane's lifting capacity is also stronger. It can lift 3 tons of cargo and the maximum lifting distance is 10 meters, which will make it very convenient to load and unload cargo.

After the lifting was completed, Wang Jiankun first dug a cave on the mountain wall in Huiwanli, docked Experiment No. 1 in the cave, and then created some fake vines to cover it.

After completing the hiding of Experiment No. 1, Wang Jiankun drove the K200 towards Hukou Town.

Because the electronic map and navigation data had been transplanted from Experiment 1, Wang Jiankun drove the boat at 20 knots.

When they entered the deep waters of Poyang Lake and there were fewer ships, Wang Jiankun gradually accelerated the boat to 30 knots, which is the maximum design speed of the ship.

Wang Jiankun has been using his super powers to project the ship's sailing conditions, asking Zhizi to analyze and optimize it, on the one hand to eliminate design risks, and on the other hand to see if it is possible to continue to reduce resistance and reduce fuel consumption.

The afterglow of winter shines on the lake, and the waves rolled up by the bow of K200 fly up from time to time, reflecting dots of yellow light.

Wang Jiankun walked out of the cockpit and came to the observation deck above. The speeding K200 was galloping like a horse on the endless grassland.

There is the sound of whistling wind in my ears and the hum of the boat under my feet. The sound is low but steady, without any sluggishness or strange noise. This is all thanks to Wang Jiankun's nano-level precision manufacturing capabilities.

And there is potential for further improvement in this capability.

Because Peter and his uncle sent some scientific research papers and reports on elementary particles and high-energy physics.

While sailing, Wang Jiankun studied and researched with Zhizi, which deepened his understanding of microscopic particles.

At present, there are many ideas and improvement ideas for electronics, electromagnetic transformation, etc. After experiments, the performance of radar and mobile base stations will be better and more energy-efficient.

After staying in the lookout for a while, my head felt tight from the wind, so I quickly returned to the warm cockpit.

The heating comes from the air used for cooling the gasoline engine at the bottom. This design not only cools the gasoline engine, but also provides heating for the cockpit and passenger compartment in winter and spring.

The sun gradually set in the west and finally sank below the lake. In the night, Wang Jiankun put his hands on the rudder, ready to take over control of the boat at any time to avoid danger.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Wang Jiankun drove the K200 to the Hukou Town Pier.

You can also dock your boat here at night, and there is also a lighthouse.

This time, Wang Jiankun docked at the cargo terminal. After handing his ticket to the port staff who came to direct the docking for inspection, he asked how to refuel and if there was a place to eat.

The staff looked at the ticket, looked at Wang Jiankun's novel and unique gray ship for a while, and asked about the origin of the ship.

Wang Jiankun told him that this was a test model and they would leave after refueling.

The staff then took Wang Jiankun to the port's own canteen. After eating a big pot meal that was not too bad, they went to a distant gas station to inquire about the price and method of filling up 2 tons of gasoline.

The staff found it strange that so much gasoline was being added here. Most ships use diesel, but this was a business that came to them, and it was obviously a private refueling business that accepted cash, so they enthusiastically introduced it to Wang Jiankun.

The staff wrote out the bill and asked Wang Jiankun to pay first. After he paid the money, they sent someone to the dock with Wang Jiankun to direct Wang Jiankun to drive the boat to the refueling location, and then removed the refueling pipe and connected it to the refueling port on Wang Jiankun's boat.

When designing the refueling port, Wang Jiankun designed it in accordance with domestic ship refueling port design specifications, so the docking was very smooth.

After the docking was completed, the staff opened the valve, and gasoline was pumped up from the underground oil tank into the cabin of K200 under the action of the oil pump.

After the staff added 2 tons of gasoline, Wang Jiankun checked the volume of oil in the tank, then converted the weight and found that it was about 10 kilograms short. Wang Jiankun couldn't say anything more and could only suffer the loss.

After refueling, Wang Jiankun drove the boat out of Hukou Town and prepared to go down the river to Yangzhou.

In ancient times, there was a man with a fortune of 200 taels of gold riding a crane to Yangzhou. Now, Wang Jiankun is driving a -ton fast transport ship to Yangzhou.
