What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 61 Compromise
Ship 108, Xining, is a modified version of the 051 missile destroyer.

At that time, the country was thinking about building its own destroyers, and happened to get some information about the Type 56 destroyer from the big brother, and used it on the Type 051.

The power system of the entire 051 series destroyers is a 56 horsepower steam turbine similar to the Type 72000, which naturally requires turbine unit maintenance.

The subsequent 052 series has been changed to a more advanced diesel engine-gas turbine combined power. After the 051 was retired, there were basically no more steam-powered ships.

For warships, steam-powered units are large in size, difficult to start, and have low power generation capacity, so they are only used as a temporary measure.

Moreover, unlike diesel and gas turbines, steam turbines are prone to problems without effective human intervention. Whether it is loss of pressure or overpressure and burst of pipelines, it is not a good thing, and the quality requirements for personnel are also higher.

When Huang Dongshun heard that there was a way, his eyes lit up.

"I need it, I really need it."

……

"Boss Chen, I'm sorry, we really don't have time."

In the Echeng Hotel, Chen Ming hung up the phone with a sad face.

"Master, four teams have already rejected us."

On the bed opposite him, Song Haoxiang was holding a picture book he bought on the street. He closed it and started complaining and sighing.

I thought that the mission would be accomplished if we could capture those boats, but who knew that this was just the beginning.

We had just returned to the city that day, and within ten minutes the wheels were almost removed from our car. Fortunately, we both got off to buy some midnight snacks, otherwise the car would have been wrecked.

Chen Ming immediately parked the car in the guesthouse, thus protecting the four wheels.

They immediately contacted the fleet to go and pull the boat, but the truck that had been contacted said it was too busy and dropped the job.

Soon after, all the local fleets they could find became busy. Some would hang up the phone when they heard the Hong Kong accent, while others would ask for an exaggerated price.

But even if you offer a high price, the team owner will call to cancel it soon.

The two men knew who had tripped Wang Hu up, but they had no way to deal with him.

Not to mention the mainland where there is no foundation, even the gangs in Hong Kong that are secretly doing evil are difficult to punish.

However, driving an off-road vehicle from Hong Kong is already the limit, and the Anti-Smuggling Bureau can only mobilize one truck and cannot send a fleet to transport the ship.

If the goods cannot be shipped out, the 300,000 yuan will be wasted.

I spent money but didn’t get anything done, and it’s even a question whether I can go back.

Chen Ming sat on the chair and sighed heavily:
"Let's go and find Boss Tang and see if he can help. Even if it costs more, it's fine."

Song Haoxiang was a little surprised and said:

"But he was very impatient last time. Can you help us?"

"We have to try even if we can't. There's nothing we can do on our own."

Chen Ming smiled bitterly. If all else fails, he might as well try using the identity of the Hong Kong Anti-Smuggling Bureau. What if it works?
Neither of them dared to waste time, so they went down to drive the car while it was still early, and then they were immediately dumbfounded.

This time the wheels were not stolen, but all four tires lay limply on the ground.

There was a palm-sized crack on each tire, and the dark black inner wall was turned out from the inside.

Guest houses do provide a certain level of security, but something like a casual tire scratch cannot be prevented unless someone is watching at all times.

Chen Ming and Song Haoxiang immediately checked the car door to see if it had been pried open. Luckily, nothing was stolen. Changing the tire at a repair shop would take at least several hours, so they couldn't go to Dawan Village today.

Chen Ming covered his face and said in despair:
"Let's call Long Sir. We can't do anything just by ourselves."

Sir Long is the boss who facilitated this matter. Although he knows that he will be scolded if he calls, waiting any longer will only cause more trouble.

Today they scratched the tires, tomorrow they might scratch the kidneys.

……

"Boss, great news!"

Wu Lao Er... No, Manager Wu Long was sitting on the train, happily reporting the results of his trip to Guangxi Province to Tang Wenhui.

He followed Chen Xiaojie and took the diesel engine prototype, and they rode on a truck for a whole day before arriving at the Sanwang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

It was there that he discovered that the Sanwang Agricultural Machinery Factory was indeed a large factory. Although the environment was not very good, it had a large staff and a large facility, and accounted for about 14% of the heavy-duty tractor sales in Guangxi Province.

It is called a heavy-duty tractor, but it is actually a variant of a truck.

In fact, for many logging sites in the mountains, they prefer special off-road trucks.

The "strange" shape of the tractor head looks like a truck, but its horsepower is not strong enough, and it is not as convenient to use as a special heavy-duty truck for mountain areas.

But good trucks are too expensive, and if you can't afford them, you can only make do with a weird tractor.

The frames of these "weird" trucks are actually not much different from those of regular trucks, and many of them are simply modified from scrapped trucks.

The reason for doing this is that manufacturing cars requires qualifications. If you don’t have the qualifications and cannot apply for them, you can only rent the qualifications from a car factory, and the price is not affordable for the agricultural machinery factory.

The high-capacity "four-in-one" vehicle has the same reinforced chassis, gearbox, axle, and cab as a truck, and some even have four-wheel drive versions.

But after all, it is not a professional truck manufacturer. First of all, the "Si Bu Xiang" lacks a high-horsepower engine and can only rely on a large-ratio gearbox to enhance the torque of the diesel engine.

The second is the assembly quality. The entire vehicle is assembled from various parts without any special optimization, which means it is just "usable".

After all, Sanwang Agricultural Machinery Factory is a large-scale factory, and its overall quality is much better than other small factories, except for its high-horsepower engines.

The diesel engines used in local Yuchai tractors are of poor quality, and the high-horsepower engines used in trucks are too expensive.

The 25-horsepower diesel engine provided by Gaijin was installed on a tractor and underwent simple testing. Its reliability was basically satisfactory. After internal discussion at the Sanno Factory, it was decided to purchase 50 units as a trial.

After bargaining, it was 8700 yuan per unit. In addition, a batch of spare parts such as cylinder gaskets were needed. The total order amount was 47 yuan, and a 30% advance payment would be received soon.

But Sanwang Factory would like to ask whether there are any high-horsepower diesel engines with a power of about 100 to 150 horsepower, and the price should be controlled below 1.6 yuan.

This is unusual. Diesel engines are different from gasoline engines. Over 100 horsepower is a terrifying number. The torque and displacement are very different.

A 100-horsepower gasoline engine usually has a displacement of about 1.3 liters, while a diesel engine with the same horsepower has a displacement of at least 3.5 liters.

A 100-horsepower gasoline truck would have difficulty going uphill with an empty truck, but if it is replaced with a diesel engine, it can roar uphill even with a load of wet wood.

The reason why the price limit is set at 1.6 is that it is the upper limit of cost that Sanno Factory can accept, otherwise the cost of the truck will exceed the limit.

The 103-horsepower four-cylinder diesel engine provided by Yuchai was eliminated because it was too expensive and had too many problems.

Sanwang Agricultural Machinery is looking for ways to expand the market and continue to break through the bottleneck of high-horsepower transport vehicles.

Wu Long wasn't sure if Tang Wen could get it, but he agreed to "ask" first.

　I'm quite busy with work... I will resume normal updates tomorrow and make up for the missing chapters.
