Chapter 792 Return to Ordinariness (ask for monthly votes at the beginning of the month)
After developing Invar steel, Liu Tao did not intend to stop there.
Because Invar steel has obvious disadvantages.
For example, the welding of Invar steel is difficult, requiring superb welding technology, and cracks are prone to occur during the welding process; it is also difficult to process, and it is necessary to maintain high precision and stability during the processing to avoid deformation and surface defects.
In addition, Invar steel is a special steel with high production costs and high prices, so its cost-effectiveness needs to be fully considered during use.
The last big disadvantage is that Invar steel has high toughness and brittleness, and is easily affected by shock and vibration, so it is necessary to pay attention to avoid overload and overstress when using it.
He wanted to try to adjust the material formula ratio and add rare earth elements to see if he could improve its disadvantages while retaining the advantages of Invar steel.
It's true that after a series of experiments, after a month, after adding three rare earth elements, Liu Tao obtained a new nickel-iron alloy with greatly improved performance.
After solving the key materials, Liu Tao began to build LNG ship models.
Before this, China had never built an LNG ship, and now it is equivalent to starting from scratch.
Solving the material problem is one aspect. We have to come up with the design of the LNG ship before we can start construction.
If there is a problem with the design, the ship may capsize as soon as it enters the water, or there may be various problems during operation.
It took Liu Tao a month to complete the design of the LNG ship.
He designed two LNG ships in total, 125,000 cubic meters and 200,000 cubic meters respectively.
Afterwards, Liu Tao arranged for Yangcheng Shipyard to prepare to build LNG ships.
Whether it is sold or used by its own shipping company to transport liquefied natural gas, LNG ships have great prospects.
In addition, Panshan Group has a lot of natural gas to develop in the Middle East.
These are all benefits.
In the next 20 years, Yangcheng Shipyard will not build too many 40 or 50 LNG ships.
There is no need to consider transporting liquefied natural gas to Europe. Just transporting liquefied natural gas to China is enough.
1991 turned over the last page and ushered in the first day of 1992.
It was also on this day that the first batch of firefighting teams set foot on the land of the motherland and they were received like heroes.
In less than five months, the firefighting team from China put out all the oil field fires in Iraq, creating a miracle in the history of oil field firefighting.
Behind this, there are both the use of fuel-air bombs and the calculation of supercomputers to provide accurate data, and of course, the hard work of the firefighting team.
Even the European and American media always praise it when reporting.
You must know that at the beginning, when Iraq approached China to sign an oil field firefighting contract agreement, they were all sarcastic.
There are even European and American media predicting that Iraq will eventually beg Europe and the United States to save Iraq's oil fields.
At that time, it was generally believed that it would take at least five or six years to put out all the oil field fires in Iraq, and it would not be surprising to take seven or eight years.
But now, the Chinese oil field firefighting team has put out all the oil field fires in Iraq in less than five months.
This efficiency is absolutely shocking to the whole world.
Although Iraq can only pay part of the money, and most of the money will have to be paid back slowly in the next ten years, but this money is still enough to pay all workers' wages and bonuses.
Now that the fire in the oil field in Iraq has been extinguished, Liu Tao has also begun to arrange for Huaxia Petroleum Group to go to the Iraqi oil field to extract oil.
The oil fields owned by Huaxia Petroleum Group are all large oil fields with rich production, and they are close to Kuwait.
As long as the facilities are built and the oil pipelines are laid, they can be directly transported to the port of Kuwait and then loaded.
In addition, Huaxia Petroleum Group will also provide equipment and inspection and maintenance services to Iraq, which is also a major business.
As for Huaxia Construction Group, it went to Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia early to build roads, houses and other buildings in Iraq and Kuwait.
For the people of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, construction workers are hard and dirty work, but for the workers of Huaxia Construction Group, this is a good job, because working abroad can earn the same as working in China for four or five months in a month.
As long as you can make money, it doesn’t matter if you are tired.
In recent years, with the expansion of Panshan Group’s overseas business, more and more workers have been arranged abroad, and their figures have appeared in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
In addition to the workers, there are also supporting medical staff.
The number of Panshan Group's overseas workers exceeds 100,000!
It is conceivable how amazing Panshan Group's overseas business is at present.
Pang Hu also returned to China, and Liu Tao personally met with Pang Hu.
Liu Tao had an impression of Pang Hu. When Pang Hu entered the Panshan system, his position was not low.
In recent years, Pang Hu only stayed in China for one month a year, and the rest was overseas.
"Really quit?" Liu Tao asked.
Pang Hu shook his head and said, "I quit. I'm tired of wandering overseas for so many years. Now that my children have grown up, they are not close to me. I just want to spend more time with my wife and children in the future to make up for them!"
Pang Hu's family lives a good life because Pang Hu has a high income, but this cannot make up for the lack of family affection caused by Pang Hu's absence.
After so many years, Pang Hu has come to his senses. He is old and it is time for him to live a comfortable life.
"Do you want to bring your family overseas or stay in China? Will the company arrange a job for you, or do it yourself?" Liu Tao asked.
People like Pang Hu are very popular in Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Liu Tao has no opinion on poaching from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries, after all, they really offer generous conditions.
Some mercenaries choose to immigrate to these countries with their families and change their nationality.
And staying in China, either the company arranges a job or you do it yourself.
Pang Hu has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. After leaving the group, there will be a considerable resettlement fee.
"I want to do it myself, buy a house in the city, and then buy a shop and do some small business." Pang Hu smiled, "It's also for a relaxed and comfortable life!"
Liu Tao nodded. Everyone has their own ambitions and everyone has their own choices.
Some people choose to immigrate to the Middle East, some choose to immigrate to Europe and the United States, some choose to immigrate to South America, Australia, and some choose to immigrate to Southeast Asia.
There are people like Pang Hu who want to live a peaceful life without constraints.
On the contrary, there are still many such people.
They are tired of the life of mercenaries and military life, and they want to return to ordinary life.
Some people pursue a passionate life when they are young, but after experiencing more and reaching a certain level, they will realize the preciousness of ordinary life.
Pang Hu belongs to this kind of people.
