What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 178 Touching Steel Captain (2600 monthly tickets plus more)

Thursday night.

Tomorrow is the day when the scheduled phone call is activated, and Tang Wen can't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, the high ticket prices are completely targeted at the rich group, and the current middle class may have to bleed a lot to afford it.

He also borrowed the channels of Giant Group and used their marketing channels to post posters and flyers.

However, the local response was much better than expected. Before the reservation hotline was opened, many people came to inquire through their network.

Rich people in Guangdong are generally open to new things. Considering that the number of people willing to call in advance is definitely less than 10%, the tourist area has at least received the attention of hundreds of potential wealthy people.

Even Shi Juzhu warned him to pay attention to television advertising, and not to feel bad if he was willing to spend hundreds of millions or even tens of millions, otherwise it would be impossible to create popularity in the pre-Internet era.

What he meant was to buy CCTV advertisements, but CCTV's prime time is not something that can be easily purchased if one has money, and the duration is also very fragmented and pitifully short. It is definitely impossible to show a micro-film, as there is only thirty seconds at most.

A new ultra-short version of the promotional video is currently being edited. Li Baoming said that the BGM is particularly powerful and the most exciting part will be included.

The metal-style electronic music from the mecha blockbuster has conquered countless audiences, and even many musicians are asking about the author of the BGM, believing that it has opened up a new genre in the country.

Is the current domestic technology capable of filming Pacific Rim?

Tang Wen's thoughts were scattered, and then he was awakened by Tang Yi:

"Ahem, Commander, are you listening?"

"Ah, I'm here."

Tang Wen blinked, and in front of him was a suspicious Tang Yi.

Tang Yi flew back from the capital during the day, bringing with him two orders for Algeria-class hulls.

Chief Designer Pan's "055" hull plan is basically to resurface the upper layer of the 052B and then put it on the hull of the Algeria heavy cruiser. Overall, there is no difficulty.

However, he additionally requested a 7000-horsepower diesel auxiliary unit to enhance power generation capacity. The weight could not exceed 18 tons, which was not a problem for Tang Yi.

The hull design is expected to be provided before December 12 and handed over to other shipyards in January for installation of armaments and electronic equipment.

According to Tang Yi's account, the first one will be delivered to Huangpu Shipyard and the second one to Jiangnan Shipyard.

The first ship of Huangpu Shipyard will speed up its construction and most of the equipment installation is expected to be completed before June 97, 6. The second ship will proceed normally and will not be completed until August.

When Tang Wen heard the date, he immediately understood that they wanted to catch up with the return date.

In fact, the ship delivered by Gaijin has a power system and can already sail under its own power, and it is only equipped with weapons and equipment.

But even so, the first 6 ship launched on June 15 does not have any combat capability. It probably came to Hong Kong for a show, and then had to return to the shipyard for a few months to continue outfitting. It had to continue sea trials for a period of time in 055 before it could become combat-ready.

However, in addition to a 011-ton cruiser to keep the situation under control, Tang Wen guessed that the aircraft carrier would probably also be deployed.

Compared with the 001 battleship, the upgrade part of the aircraft carrier is not too much. If we rush to complete it in June, it will definitely be completed. The only complaint is that there are no carrier-based aircraft.

By the end of 1998, China had a small aircraft carrier, a battleship, and two -ton destroyers... Well, that was already a pretty good scale.

These ships are enough for the navy to absorb, and the shipyards have other things to do:

dredger.

There is not much land in the entire Nansha Islands that can remain above sea level for a long time, so land reclamation and island building are inevitable. In addition to directly exploiting the port bug, Tang Wen still needs to get a few dredgers to continue land reclamation.

The shipyard's technical reserves are sufficient to manufacture dredgers, as this doesn't involve crucial electronic technology. Even if the technology, efficiency, or reliability are a little inferior, it doesn't matter. If a broken ship is returned to port, it can be fully restored and rebuilt. Even worse, it can be simply rebuilt.

There are roughly three technical routes for dredgers:
The bucket suction hopper, cutter suction hopper and grab bucket use three different methods to extract sand, each with its own advantages and disadvantages and different technical difficulties.

Tang Yi reviewed previous examples of inland dredgers and proposed two dredger solutions:
[Tianjing No. 4500: Lightweight displacement 30 tons, cutter suction dredger, can dig 1900 meters underwater, excavate 2200 cubic meters per hour, cutter power 12 kilowatts, maximum speed knots;
Research and Development: 19500 Experience

【Directly produce 134 million silver coins/14 days

Processing of supplied materials: 4650 tons of steel, 450 tons of aluminum alloy, 29 tons of oil, 47 silver coins/14 days]

[Tianjing No. 9700: Lightweight displacement: 40 tons, cutter suction dredger, can dredge to 5000 meters underwater, excavate 5000 cubic meters per hour, cutter power 12 kilowatts, maximum speed knots;
Research and Development: 35000 Experience

【Directly produce 272 million silver coins/22 days

Processing of supplied materials: 9850 tons of steel, 900 tons of aluminum alloy, 64 tons of oil, 95 silver coins/22 days]

Tianjing No. 24 can build an island of 1000 square meters every 2500 hours, while Tianjing No. can build an island of square meters.

So if operating at full speed, every day's work of Tianjing No. 500 means an additional 27.5 tons of oil, worth 6000, equivalent to silver coins.

The operation added 0.6 silver coins on the first day, 1.2 on the second day, and the value of the oil produced on the 24th day was 50 silver coins, which was enough to build another Tianjing No. .

If you don't want to consume your stockpiled steel, you can collect 40 million silver coins worth of oil on the 130th day alone, and get a Sky Whale No. .

Moreover, the island’s area is constantly increasing, and oil production is expanding at an exponential rate, which will bring in revenue at an astonishing rate.

Tang Wen took a deep breath and recalculated several times before he believed this fact.

This is not a dredger, it's a mobile oil well, a blowout kind!

Produce, produce now!
Arrange battleships and aircraft carriers immediately, form a fleet immediately, and build ports immediately!
However, reality immediately poured cold water on him. His stock experience would be used up after the research and development of the Algeria, and only more than 10,000 points would be left, which was not enough to cover the research and development costs of Tianjing No. 1.

Steel stocks are also in a critical state, with less than 5,000 tons left.

Tang Wen closed his eyes and looked for the Sperm Whale.

The scene changes to the surface of the Sibuyan Sea.

The Sperm Whale used a combination of surface and underwater navigation, sailing with its trachea exposed most of the time, ensuring an average speed of about 20 knots. It has traveled 1600 kilometers to reach the target sea area and is preparing to search for wreckage at the site of the great naval battle.

Because this submarine tried to navigate on the water as much as possible and avoid sensitive waters, it was never discovered or attracted any attention.

The Battle of Leyte Gulf was basically surrounded by the Luzon Islands, and many famous warships were sunk.

联合舰队仅莱特湾海战就损失了4艘航母、3艘战列舰、6艘重巡洋舰、4艘轻巡洋舰和11艘驱逐舰。

Halsey's first target was the Sibuyan Sea, where the Combined Fleet battleship Musashi was sunk.

Strictly speaking, it was the Third Task Force commanded by "him" that contributed to this victory.

The three battleships of Yamashiro, Musashi and Fuso sunk by the Combined Fleet alone weighed 13 tons, and the four aircraft carriers weighed 20 tons, which means at least 15 tons of steel can be salvaged.

In addition to the previous merchant ships, submarines, destroyers and cruisers, Tang Wen launched this voyage with the goal of transporting 40 tons of steel.
