Rebirth of South America as King

"Your Majesty, Songjiang Port has arrived."

The Xun warship approached the port, and Pioneer Xu Zhixuan walked into the cabin. Huihui reported: "The director of Xinghe Shipyard, the deputy director of Niu and other people have arrived and are preparing to meet His Majesty near the port."

"They are well prepared."

明 Li Mingyuan smiled slightly and said to others: "Let's get off the boat and go and see what the technical staff of Xinghe Shipyard has done for several years. What it looks like."

"A 5000-ton ocean-going ship is a big guy, and I don't know how many migrants can be carried by such a ship at one time?"

"It ’s almost 2,000 people. The ocean shipping company's 3,000-ton carrier can carry 1,400 migrants at one time. The new 5000-ton ocean carrier from Xinghe Shipyard has a drainage capacity nearly twice that of the former. The number of standard immigrants must be five or six hundred more than the 3,000-ton carrier. "

The group got off the warship and chatted as they walked: "The 5000-ton ocean-going ship uses a three-expansion reciprocating steam engine as the propulsion power. Each ship is equipped with two three-expansion steam engines, a single 8000 horsepower, and a high-pressure ventilation of 12,000 horsepower. The ship The total power is 16,000 horsepower, the standard speed is 16 knots, and the top speed is 20 knots.

The standard displacement is 5,200 tons, the full-load displacement is 6,000 tons, and the standard number of immigrants is 2,100. The crew of 180 people.

出发 Departing from Yishui Port (Port Monte) at 16 knots to the Far East, the total one-way voyage is about 19,000 kilometers and takes 42 to 45 days. "

Before leaving Changan, Xinghe Shipyard's various technical data about 5,000-ton ocean-going ships were distributed to the chiefs of several core departments of the central government, so as one of the superior management departments of civil shipping companies The General Manager of the Ministry of Industrial Development knows more about the technical performance of new-type ships than ordinary officials.

"A speed of 1.8 kilometers per hour. If a ship maintains an uninterrupted speed of 16 knots, does it mean that as long as 28 days, it can complete the South American-Far East route?"

As the director of the Ministry of Transportation Development, who is often in contact with maritime shipping management affairs, Mei Ruiying has always been sensitive to numbers. Therefore, after listening to the introduction of the director of the Ministry of Industry, he quickly calculated the theoretical data of the new ocean-going ship for long-term navigation.

"According to technical and theoretical data, you can run a full South Pacific route within 28, but because the fleet needs to be replenished and repaired during the voyage, the total time for a one-way voyage is more than 40 days."

Chen Shen, Director General of the Ministry of Industry, said: "The 5,000-ton ship has reduced the one-way sailing time by 15 to 18 days compared to the ordinary ocean carrier under the name of the ocean shipping company, but compared with the Western powers, the standard speed is 16 knots and the tonnage The 5,200-ton ocean-going transport ship is still not a first-class industry.

In May last year, under the name of British Inman International Steamship Company, a 10,000-ton ocean-going ship named "City of Paris" completed a one-way European-North American voyage in 6 days and 29 minutes. The average speed of the ship exceeded 20 knots.

In April this year, under the name of North German Lloyd, a marine ship with a displacement of 14,000 tons took 5 days and 13 hours to complete the trans-Atlantic route mission. The average speed of the ship reached 22 knots, making it the largest ocean-going ship with a capacity of 10,000 tons. Record of sailing speed.

The construction technology of civil ships in the UK and Germany belongs to the world-class level. If the domestic civil ship construction industry can reach the average level of the two countries, the one-way sailing time of the two main immigration transportation routes from the mainland to the Far East may be shortened. Within 35 days. The number of migrants per transportation may increase to 700,000 or even 800,000 on the basis of 450,000 people per year. "

"The gap between the construction of civilian ocean-going ships in Britain and Germany cannot be caught up in a year or two. To reach the current level of construction technology of ocean-going ships in Britain and Germany, the local side still needs to fully pursue at least 5 years. "

明 Li Mingyuan was able to face the gap between the local civilian shipbuilding industry and the countries of Britain, Germany, and France, so he did not have the illusion of catching up with the powers in a short period of time.

"The local civil shipbuilding industry currently does not have the technical reserves to build ocean-going ships of 10,000 tons, and the local government is currently unable to bear the huge construction and maintenance costs of building ocean-going ships.

Introducing the 10,000-ton ocean-going giant ship construction technology and reducing the construction and maintenance costs of self-built 10,000-ton giant ship are the problems that need to be solved in the next ten-year development plan. Now, before 1895, the task of the domestic civil shipbuilding industry is to use The annual construction cost of civil ships is allocated to control the construction costs of ships. Within the next five and a half years, the construction of 5,200-ton ocean-going ships will be completed, and old ocean-going ships with backward technological performance will be gradually phased out. Overall risk resistance and transport efficiency.

Although a number of ocean transport vessels with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons have been eliminated before, the number of ocean transport fleets has gradually increased to more than 170. However, due to restrictions on transportation expenses and the capacity of local civilian ships, the ocean transport fleet is still There are a lot of old ships. Among them, the number of ocean-going carriers that are not suitable for steam power conversion is close to 20.

These old ocean-going ocean carriers are more dangerous than newer ones and must be phased out.

The old ships that have been eliminated can be maintained and rebuilt. After the rebuild, they can be sold to local private enterprises at low prices for use as offshore, inland waterway transportation, fishing and hunting vessels. Those that do not have the value of remodeling, and do not have pity, dismantle them directly. . "

"Most of the locally-owned ocean carriers are old-fashioned ships sold to us at low prices by European countries. Although many of them have undergone steam power transformation, their speed has increased a lot, but there are more than 170 ocean-going carriers with a age of over 20 There are 120 ships a year and 20 ships with a age of 10 years.

The service life of ordinary wooden sailing boats is 30 years. The service life of wooden steam engine boats transformed by steam power is increased by three or four years, and the time from being eliminated is not more than ten years.

At the beginning, the local lacked ocean shipping vessels. In order to increase the number of immigrants, they could only choose to buy old-fashioned wooden sailboats eliminated by western countries. Now the local government is gradually abundant in finance and the development of civil shipbuilding industry can also basically meet the construction tasks of ocean shipping vessels. At this time, it is indeed necessary to carry out a thorough reorganization and reorganization of the ocean shipping fleet. ".........

He and his team chatted for seven or eight minutes on the road. They met Tong Longfu, Niu Shangzhou and others standing in the port to meet them. Then, with the welcoming and guarding of Tong Longfu and others, Li Mingyuan and his team came to the offshore dock of Xinghe Shipyard.

"The construction period of the 5,200-ton ocean-going ship is one year and three months, and the average construction cost per ship is 570,000 won (equivalent to about 300,000 Kuping silver.),

Shuxinghe Shipyard has one 5000-ton military dock and four 3000-ton military docks. There are 2 civil 8000-ton shipyards, 4 civilian 5,000-ton shipyards, and 9 civilian 3,000-ton shipyards.

Among them, there are two docks with the capability of constructing new ocean-going ships. After the completion of the first year of construction. It is estimated that the annual construction period of the 5,200-ton ocean-going ship will be shortened to one year. Xinghe Shipyard will be able to complete the construction of two 5,200-ton ocean-going ships from the second year. "

Facing the dock, Li Mingyuan admired the huge white steamer while listening to the introduction of Niu Shangniu, deputy director of Xinghe Shipyard.

"At the current level of technology, there are two civil shipyards in the country that are qualified for the construction of 5,200-ton ocean vessels. One is Xinghe Shipyard and the other is Han Guo Ocean Shipping Company (held by the royal family) ,

Ocean Shipping has a total of 4 shipbuilding bases in the country, 183 supporting related companies, 3100 industrial employees (excluding crews), and 2400 industrial workers. One 8,000-ton civil dock, three 5,000-ton civil docks, and eight 3,000-ton civil docks.

Ability to build a 5,200-ton ocean-going ship every year. "

"The construction capacity of Yixinghe Shipyard and Ocean Shipping Company. How long will it take to increase the number of migrants to more than 550,000 per year?"

"Based on the input of 450,000 immigrants last year, the two shipyards complete three 5,200-ton construction missions each year. Each ship carries 2100 immigrants. Each round trip takes three months, and each ship travels to and from South America for one year. Four times in the Far East, each ship transports 6,300 people per year, three ships transport 18,900 migrants per year, and then considers the weakening of capacity caused by the elimination of some old ocean-going shipping ships, and wants to increase the number of migrants to 550,000 per year People, it takes about 7 years. "

"No, it ’s been too long in 7 years. The situation in the Far East has been very volatile. It is very likely that the mainland will usher in a larger wave of immigration around 1894. In order to meet the surge of immigrants that will come in the next few years, 5200-ton ocean shipping The construction plan must be accelerated. "

Li Mingyuan thought of the war that changed the Far East International five years later and urged: "Xinghe Shipyard and Ocean Shipping Company have insufficient production capacity, then expand the shipyard and increase the shipbuilding capacity of the shipyard. In addition, private shipping companies have developed rapidly for more than ten years. In 2014, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also included some companies with basic technical talent reserves. You should not just look at the country's shipbuilding yards, you should also pay more attention to the development of local people's shipbuilding yards.

Xinghe Shipyard and Ocean Shipping Company are not only state-owned enterprises that are only responsible for the construction of ships, but also an important part of the national industrial development strategy. You must take more social responsibility of state-owned enterprises, cooperate with private enterprises, and help private enterprises improve construction technology. Level.

After all, private shipping companies are the main force to undertake the task of local inland navigation, and helping private enterprises develop is beneficial to the local shipping industry and the national economic development. "

"His Majesty taught that there are also many private shipbuilding companies operating in the country. Companies such as South Pacific Shipping Company and Shengchang Shipbuilding Company have independent shipyards. If Xinghe Shipyard comes forward to help them, It is believed that within two years of the expansion and renovation of the dock, at least three private shipping companies with the capacity to build 5,200-ton ocean-going vessels will be added locally. "

"The South Pacific Shipping Company is an industry run by the concubine ’s father. Although Mr. Zhang is the concubine ’s father, you must not be partial. When choosing a private company to undertake the construction of a 5,200-ton ocean-going ship, you must judge the company's comprehensive technical reserve On the basis, it is absolutely impossible to use power for personal gain. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport Development will cooperate with the two state-owned shipping companies to fully select the appropriate civilian shipbuilding enterprises in accordance with His Majesty's instructions and standards." …………
