At 10 p.m. on October 15, 1958, on Blue Star, all four meetings ended.
Ling Yue dragged her exhausted body onto the bed, recalling the problems and omissions in the meeting, and fell asleep unknowingly.
Except for a small number of people who were present at the first meeting, the rest have already left for the various shipyards in the first batch.
The construction of the destroyer is not undertaken by a single base. Shipyards in Liaoning, Guangdong, Shanghai and other places are responsible for the manufacture of materials and parts.
After these engineers have been assigned their tasks, they will immediately go to their posts to carry out production and arrangements.
Several waves of people have left in the past two days. Those who stayed are either those who just finished the meeting today or those who do not need to go to the shipyard.
The base also needs to be built, and it is impossible for everyone to rush to the production site at once.
The base needs to build, install and enter the water equipment.
On the second day, Ling Yue felt dizzy. In just four days, all of An Kexin's hard work had gone to waste.
"This body is too bad." Ling Yue muttered.
Then he got up, took a good shower, and walked out with wet hair.
Qian Zilin was standing in the huge workshop wearing a safety helmet, accompanied by Pan Fu and others.
"Uncle Qian."
Ling Yue shouted.
Qian Zilin turned around and saw Ling Yue coming over: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ling Yue shook her head. Today was a little later than usual.
“How well the workshop is built.”
Qian Zilin glanced at the old factory manager. This place had been taken over by them, but in terms of familiarity with the process, the factory manager who had been here for more than a month still had to be familiar with it.
"The traction machinery and the lifting machinery have been built, but the problem now is that we don't know how big the ship is, so we still don't know whether to use a slipway or an inclined gantry to launch it into the water."
Ling Yue looked at the workshop distribution map handed over by the factory director, where every point was marked.
She thought for a moment and said, "According to the design drawings, the ship is 102-104 meters long and about 10-11 meters wide."
The factory director, as someone who has been dealing with ships for many years, had an idea in his mind just by hearing this data.
After thinking for a moment, he said bluntly, "Our current slideway can't actually handle such a large ship. If we want to use the slideway to enter the water directly, we may need to add two more slide rails."
When Ling Yue heard this number, she looked at Qian Zilin.
Qian Zilin knew the source of the materials very well: "The two we have now were obtained by dismantling a section of railway track. It would be difficult to get two more in a short time, not to mention that we don't have the money. Even if we did have it, it would be difficult to get it in a short time."
Ling Yue thought for a moment and nodded: "Then we don't need a slide to enter the water directly. Instead, we can connect the slide with the inclined gantry and finally use the inclined gantry to enter the water."
The factory manager hesitated and said, "But this...there has never been such a precedent before."
Ling Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Then we will be the first one."
Qian Zilin smiled. This thing is important, but it is not important either. The 400 million compatriots in Longguo can't even push down a ship.
"Once it's built, we'll carry it down even if we have to lift it."
Ling Yue also smiled when she heard this. Although these words were bold words, with the indomitable spirit of the Dragon people, they were not afraid of these difficulties.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue continued walking forward. The floating dock was still under construction, and now the place in front of them was a mess.
The reason for choosing this place is, firstly, to fulfill Zhang Nan's wish, and secondly, this place is on the coast and has a very deep port, which is suitable for launching destroyers.
After a round of inspection and solving some minor problems, Ling Yue went back. After the task was assigned, she felt a lot more relaxed, and even her irregular work and rest schedule began to slowly get back on track.
October 21st, Double Ninth Festival.
Ling Yue was talking to Qian Zilin when she saw Yu Hongzhen, who was in charge of materials, running over.
“It’s coming out! It’s coming out!”
Qian Zilin was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he finally said, "Hurry up and tell me."
Yu Hongzhen pulled out the data and expanded on it, saying, "According to analysis, the hull of the Kgum is made of carbon-manganese steel, also known as C-Mn steel. By adjusting its composition and optimizing the hot-rolling process, it can achieve excellent formability and toughness. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to fully maintain its formability yet."
Ling Yue drew on the table with her fingers and asked, "Where's the engine?"
"The engine is made of titanium alloy, which is very suitable for our hull, but the disadvantage is that there are too few of them, just one engine."
Ling Yue pursed her lips. The first problem she encountered here was the things that were everywhere in this galaxy.
"Any news from Comrade Xiangzhong?"
Qian Zilin sighed upon hearing this: "We've tried our best in diplomacy, but it's really hard to do. Besides, we don't have a high status in the international arena right now. You know the people in those countries..."
Ling Yue naturally knew that asking was just a matter of trying her luck.
She rubbed her temples, then pulled out a pen from the other side of the table. Seeing this, Qian Zilin turned around and took out a stack of papers from behind him and placed them in front of Ling Yue.
Ling Yue bit the end of the pencil, but accidentally used too much force and ended up with a mouthful of charcoal dust.
Qian Zilin, who was originally feeling a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ling Yue staring blankly at the tip of the pen, so he poured her a glass of water and put it aside to cool.
Ling Yue was stunned. If the existing materials could not be used and could not be purchased internationally, then she would have to make it herself.
