292: How is the progress of the repair?
Alright, stop messing around. Let's go see how the great bear submarine is being repaired!
Liu Xiaolin was constantly thinking about the progress of the great bear's repair, so he quickly interrupted their teasing.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it now," Niu De said with a smile.
"Today is the weekend, don't the repair personnel rest?" Hong Tongtong asked.
"The repair personnel work in shifts, because submarine repair is a continuous job and cannot be interrupted just because it's the weekend," Niu De said.
"Oh, I see," Hong Tongtong said with a smile. "I haven't seen the great bear yet, I need to hurry and see what it looks like."
"Haha, it's similar to our Explorer II, but not as technologically advanced as ours," Niu De said proudly.
After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the large submarine repair workshop by the sea.
After several months, Liu Xiaolin returned here again, looking at the various high-horsepower gantry cranes and hoisting vehicles standing tall, his heart filled with emotion.
"Wow, this repair workshop is so big, half in the sea and half on the shore, this workshop is built so cleverly!" Hong Tongtong exclaimed as she looked around.
"Yes, General Manager Liu's ideas are always amazing. This layout greatly facilitates the work of the various repair teams. The coordination is very smooth and convenient," Niu De, being a beneficiary of this idea, naturally praised it endlessly.
As the group walked into the workshop, they saw many people busy working.
"So many people! Are there this many people busy every day?" Hong Tongtong asked in surprise.
"There are usually more people than today," Niu De replied with a smile. "Didn't I just say that the repair personnel work in shifts? When the management arranges shifts, they try to arrange everyone's rest time on the weekend, so today's repair personnel are only about one-third of the usual number."
"Goodness, there are so many people with just one-third. If all the staff were working, wouldn't it be packed? How could they work?" Hong Tongtong asked.
"What you see are the repair personnel on the shore part. There are also many repair positions on the offshore platform and inside the submarine," Niu De continued to answer. "This workshop is very large, even with over two thousand repair personnel inside, it doesn't look crowded."
"Oh, I see, it seems this submarine repair is really a big project!" Hong Tongtong was constantly dazzled and overwhelmed.
Just as the few of them were talking animatedly, a person walked quickly from a distance: "General Manager Liu, Tongtong, what brings you here?"
Liu Xiaolin looked up and saw it was Zhang Weichen: "Oh, it's you, you didn't rest today?"
"Ever since you took on this big submarine repair project, I've rarely rested," Zhang Weichen rolled his eyes at Liu Xiaolin. "I was a perfectly good R&D personnel, and now I've become a repairman, all thanks to you."
"Haha, this job is very challenging. You can come into contact with various levels of technology research, which is much more difficult and interesting than single-focus R&D, right?" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"You're right about that. Before, I specialized in remote control system research, but now, since you pulled me into the Submarine Repair Management Team, I've become an all-rounder," Zhang Weichen said with a pout. "Whether it's quantum sonar, communication systems, or power systems, I have to read a lot of data, otherwise, there's no way to communicate the repair plan with other team members and assign repair tasks."
"You've worked hard, you've worked hard. Isn't this like a blessing in disguise? You can participate in the R&D of any project in the future," Liu Xiaolin listened to Zhang Weichen's complaints and couldn't stop laughing.
"Alright, let's just consider it your encouragement to me," Zhang Weichen said with a sigh.
"What's the current progress?" Liu Xiaolin asked with concern.
"Didn't we do a comprehensive inspection before we started the repair? We planned to modify and repair the great bear's quantum sonar detection system, dedicated channel communication system, negative pressure power system, battery remote control system, anti-corrosion valve switch series, and hull restoration and coating series, totaling 1200 sub-categories within six major categories. Since everyone was exploring in the initial stage, the speed of the early repair was not very fast."
"Does that mean the repair work is not going smoothly?" Liu Xiaolin asked with a frown.
"I said the initial speed was not fast, but as everyone's cooperation became more tacit and they got used to it, the speed is much faster now," Zhang Weichen quickly added.
"Then can you tell me the specific situation?" Liu Xiaolin was still worried.
"Our required construction period is one and a half years. Three months have passed, and we have currently completed 200 out of the 1200 categories of repair and modification plans," Zhang Weichen said seriously.
"One-sixth of the time has passed, and one-sixth of the tasks have been completed. It seems the tasks are being completed on time," Liu Xiaolin calculated silently and then spoke.
"Look at you, the head of this Submarine Repair Management Team, you are too unqualified," Niu De started to express his dissatisfaction again from the side.
"I'm just a nominal head, you, the deputy head, are the one doing the actual work, okay?" Liu Xiaolin didn't mind everyone's complaints, he just defended himself with a smile.
At this moment, a thick, rough voice came over: "Exactly, you, the head, haven't done as much as us two invited members, haha."
Liu Xiaolin knew it was Kayaski as soon as he heard the voice.
"Don't tease me anymore! Engineer Niu and Zhang Weichen have been teasing me all morning, and my psychological endurance has reached its limit," Liu Xiaolin warned Kayaski.
"I didn't say anything, Liu team leader, please don't get angry with me," Ivanov, who walked over with Kayaski, said with a smile.
"Kayaski, Ivanov, hello," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, greeting the two of them.
"Yes, we are very well, not only well, but we've also heard about your recent great achievements," Kayaski said.
"What great achievements?" Liu Xiaolin was a bit confused.
"Are you still planning to hide it from us? You led Jiantuan Electronics to successfully develop the Dragon Country's first lithography machine. What is that if not a great achievement?" Kayaski said with a smile.
"What kind of great achievement is this, please stop mocking me, okay?" Liu Xiaolin was a little embarrassed by what was said.
"Of course it is, after all, it's the first of its kind, and it's a 2-nanometer Lithography Machine, which is quite extraordinary," Niu De also joined the praise group and started praising.
"Exactly, I'm proud of you," Zhang Weichen also said with admiration.
"What we are doing at Wanderer Aerospace is no less than the lithography machine, and the technology here is much more advanced than the lithography machine," Liu Xiaolin said seriously; "The lithography machine just has a large number of parts and is relatively troublesome to develop, but the technical content is not as advanced as our wanderer one and Explorer II."
