Chapter 183: Almost fighting over a ship! (Subscribe)

Looking at the brown water column gushing onto the mudflat, everyone in the expedition team was excited.

This group of people traveled thousands of miles from several inland provinces to Rui County, a border town in southern Zhejiang, with the sole purpose of visiting the Jingwei engineering ship.

After seeing the video of the previous typhoon-resistant dam breach, these cities that have been severely affected by the backflow of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River can no longer sit still.

I wish I could drive the Jingwei 01 back immediately to fix the siltation problem of the water network passing through my city.

After all, in the eyes of Lu Shoucheng and others, the seabed silt and waste sucked out from Jingwei 01 are visually very similar to the siltation of the riverbeds of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

So before the Jingwei was launched, Lv Shoucheng asked, "Mr. Chen, the working principle of the Jingwei looks a bit similar to that of the 'Tianjing' that was sent to the south to build an island! Can you give us a detailed introduction to its operating efficiency?"

The so-called "Tianjing" he mentioned is the largest star-class self-propelled suction dredger of the previous generation built by China Merchants Heavy Industry.

Tianjing is 127.5 meters long, 22 meters wide, and has a draft of 6 meters. It has a reamer power of 4200kw, a maximum digging depth of -30 meters, and an excavation efficiency of 4500 cubic meters per hour.

The project was designed and built in 2008 and completed in 21 months. On the day of launching, the dredging capacity ranked first in Asia and third in the world.

They were sent to the south to blow sand and fill the sea to create islands and reefs.

It was not until 2017 that the more powerful "Tiankun" was launched, and the Tianjing, which had been in operation for nearly 10 years, was relegated to the second line and towed back to the shipyard for equipment platform modification. From the initial design of the marine operating environment, it was transferred to the task of building the Pinglu Canal.

However, as it is a star ship, the daily work of Tianjing can be said to be heavy.

Heads of flood control departments in waterlogged cities, such as Lu Shoucheng, have also considered using the Tianjing.

However, this star ship involved in a major domestic project is just like a hot new star, with a very full schedule.

Either on the way to work, or in the factory for maintenance.

Even if they want to spend money to bid for the operating time of Tianjing, they cannot compete with those old large state-owned enterprises in terms of financial resources and connections.

After all, there are less than 50 such super-large cutter suction dredgers in the world's waters, and China alone has 35 of them. The most advanced "Tianqi", "Tianjing" and "Tiankun" are under the unified management, command and dispatch of relevant departments.

To put it simply, this thing is a national treasure that cannot be bought with money!

This is not a level that ordinary local small department leaders like Lu Shoucheng can access.

Lu Shoucheng and his companions were naturally overjoyed when they suddenly saw a civilian engineering vessel that seemed to be able to replace the Tianjing.

Chen Jue saw that the members of the inspection team had done sufficient homework before coming, and immediately showed an expression of "you are quite capable" and began to talk nonsense on the spot: "Dear leaders, Jingwei is not a traditional suction dredger. The designed reamer has low power, and the single-arm excavation efficiency is only about 2000 cubic meters per hour, but its real strength is comprehensive versatility!"

The Jingwei 01, which was modified using MC materials, does have some overlapping functions with the Tiankun.

However, after being equipped with high-performance [iron blocks] and MC [lithium-electric pistons], the operating capabilities of Jingwei 01 are not just as simple as suction dredging!
"All-rounder?"

Lu Shoucheng murmured suspiciously, his eyes fixed on the Jingwei, which was moving. He thought to himself, "2000 cubic meters per hour is enough! As long as we spend a little more money to rent it back, we will definitely be able to clean up the clogged river channel and riverbed."

Chen Jue did not explain much when he saw this, but shouted into the intercom in front of the inspection team: "Sixth Brother, step up your efforts! Let the customers see the strength of our Jingwei!"

A voice came from the other end of the intercom: "Copy that, Boss!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw unusual movements again on the deck of the Jingwei where work was underway.

The robotic arms that were originally raised high suddenly retracted inwards, and in full view of everyone, a new extended arm body was replaced on the workbench in the cabin, and the supporting working components were switched to two unfamiliar 'roller' and 'rectangular' shaped modules.

From a distance, it looks like a row of enlarged mahjong tiles and curling irons.

"What kind of engineering equipment is this?" "It doesn't look like a drill, but more like the steel roller in front of a road roller!"

"It seems to have knife edges and saw teeth on it. It should not be a simple roller."

"Why does he look so familiar?" members of the inspection team were discussing it.

Everyone's attention was drawn to this high-tech move that was comparable to the Autobots' transformation.

With the humming sound of the motor, the 'drum' and 'rectangle' were pressed from high to low into the turbid sea water by the extended robotic arm.

Before long, the coastal sea surface, which had been made turbid by the auger and suction pump, began to stir strangely.

A large pile of gravel and silt piled up like a small mountain actually took on the posture of a coin-pushing machine, carrying mud and sea water and being pushed layer by layer from below the sea level to the mudflat.

This scene that broke common sense made Lu Shoucheng and others dumbfounded!

"What's the principle?"

"The mud and garbage on the seabed have come ashore on their own?"

"Incredible! It's incredible!"

Seeing the piles of seabed waste automatically come ashore, the expedition team was instantly shocked.

The hands of many people holding up their mobile phones to record the video began to tremble slightly.

Chen Jue, who was in charge of reception, explained: "These two working modules, one is a 'jaw crusher' and the other is a 'obstacle removal bulldozer'. They were previously installed on the Yugong No. 01 experimental vehicle."

"However, Yugong 01 uses the XCMG XDE440 mining truck as its chassis, which weighs less than 600 tons. After it reaches the 30-ton hull, it is specially modified into an enlarged version. In one trip, it can clear an area of ​​nearly meters in width, which is more than enough for seabed obstacle removal."

As soon as these words were spoken, leaders of all ranks who had watched the live broadcast of Gai Community on the spot for 15 days showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

After all, the scene of "God's plasticine" leveling the construction site brought an unparalleled shock of industrial technology to everyone.

Even these well-informed department leaders felt that such a shocking scene was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

So after seeing the dredging capabilities of this "upward and downward push" technology, everyone in the inspection team, including Lv Shoucheng, eagerly extended an olive branch: "Mr. Chen, can your group rent the Jingwei 01 to us?"

"Just tell me how much the rent is!"

The city where he lives had just suffered a flood disaster in the past two months, causing significant economic losses to the local area.

Leaders like Lu Shoucheng are in urgent need of an engineering tool that can be used freely for dredging and clearing to help local cities resolve future water conservancy risks.

In order to achieve cooperation, the heads of departments in the inspection team even had high bidding budgets in their pockets.

The purpose is to borrow the Jingwei 01 back as soon as possible.

So when the first person opened his mouth to place an order, the rest of the brothers in the expedition team began to make a noise, "Old Lu, you are not being honest! Your Wuhan is far away in Beihu Province. Even if you want to lend us the Jingwei, you have to go upstream to clear the silt in each city."

"That's right! Didn't we agree on this before we came? We'll come one by one! Mr. Chen, our Jiangjiu City will provide a 1 million yuan engineering budget, rent it to us first!"

"No! Gan City is the closest to Rui County, so we have to be the first in line. Mr. Chen, just give us the budget quotation for the project. We will cover the fuel consumption of Jingwei and the travel expenses of the boatmen and technicians!"
