Chapter 178 Famous in the shipbuilding world
“Long life in England (
the next day.
Singapore Pier.
Crowded.
Hundreds of people have gathered on the pier in front of a large cargo ship.
Most were from Lee’s Shipbuilding Company.
In addition, some local celebrities in Singapore were also invited, and more than a dozen newspapers were also invited to take photos and report!
That’s right, just to create momentum and publicity for the Feiyu freighter!
“Reporters, did you all go up to the power compartment of the cargo ship to take pictures just now?” Li Lin asked about a dozen reporters.
“Mr. Li, we’ve already been there to take pictures. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a huge diesel engine block in my life!”
“It’s really too big!”
“I’ve taken seven or eight photos from various angles just now…”
“Okay, then I hope you will write the article well. It’s better to write it in detail. The benefits will be indispensable to you.” Li Lin said with a smile.
“Mr. Li, we understand!” A group of reporters all piled up smiling faces.
“Okay.”
After a while, Li Lin took hundreds of people from Qinglongmen to the boat. That’s right, he was going to visit Liverpool in person. Speaking of which, he hadn’t gone back for several years.
Of course, he also wants to participate in this ship exchange meeting in person!
The 7th Western Ship Exchange Conference this time is an exchange meeting for major ships such as cargo ships and passenger ships.
All major shipbuilding companies from all over the world have come to participate in the competition exhibition.
Of course, the main people who come are the major HNA transportation companies to watch.
After all, the customers of the major shipyards are these HNA shipping companies.
Once you can see the ship you have exhibited at the exchange meeting, maybe someone will place an order on the spot!
In general, this exchange meeting was mainly used by major shipbuilding companies to promote their reputations.
In the afternoon, after the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed, the Freighter Bird was also carrying a small batch of goods and started heading towards Liverpool.
The voyage is about 2 months.
That is, in the afternoon of the same day, all the major newspapers in Singapore reported this matter one after another. At the same time, they also sent the report back to the head office, and began to report and publicize it all over the world.
Western HNA News: Today, the first large-scale diesel-engine cargo ship in human history manufactured by Lee’s Shipbuilding Co., the No. 1 cargo ship, made its first voyage from Singapore Port at 2:05 pm, and its destination was Liverpool Port. , and will also participate in the seventh ship exchange meeting two months later!
Asuka: Displacement of 5,018 tons, length of 118.8 meters, width of 17.8 meters, and carrying capacity of 6,970 tons. It uses a super-large diesel engine (8-cylinder 4-stroke, cylinder bore 530 mm, stroke 750 mm, single engine power 9590 horsepower), single propeller propulsion, the speed can reach more than 21 knots…
Business Daily: Shocked! Lee’s Shipbuilding Company built the first large-scale diesel-engine cargo ship in human beings, with a speed of 21 knots. It’s terrifying. Is this true or false? Diesel engine can also be large-scale design?
American Airlines poster: Can diesel engines be comparable to steam engines? It can even burst out 9590 terrifying horsepower?
The first batch of media reports.
Suddenly shocked the shipbuilding industry!
Then the second batch of media followed suit, which immediately caused a sensation in the Western world!
Many senior executives of shipbuilding companies were shocked.
Many shipping companies are also stunned. They want to know very much, is this true or false?
if it is ture……
When the meeting comes, be sure to take a look!
“For a freighter with a displacement of 5,000 tons, the speed can reach 21 knots? This Fake and the speed of warships are comparable! Incredible!”
You must know that the battleship Dreadnought, the largest warship in tonnage at the end of the 19th century, had a displacement of 18,110 tons, and its maximum speed was 21 knots! Of course, this battleship will take a few years to come out.
“At present, the speed of most freighters is around 12-17 knots. In fact, most of the freighters are around 12-15 knots. They go directly to the speed of 21 knots? In this way, the transportation time will be shortened. Greatly shortened!”
“I just don’t know how many diesel engine failures are, after all, it is new.”
“We’ll have to take a look at it then.”
“I’m looking forward to it. I really want to see what it looks like when the time comes.”
“Is diesel power on the rise?”
Li Lin’s Flying Fish has not yet come to Liverpool, and it has already made it famous once in advance.
Many people are waiting for the arrival of this one in Liverpool, and they all want to see the true face of Mount Lu!
…
win the country.
When Rudolph, the inventor of the diesel engine, heard the news, he was stunned!
His lifelong wish is to hope that his diesel engine can flourish, keep pace with steam engines, or even surpass them.
I even want to use diesel engines in cars.
Even on ships!
But I never imagined that someone would actually use it on a ship~www.readmtl.com~ or a large ocean-going freighter with a displacement of several thousand tons!
“How did Li Shipbuilding Company do this? Even I couldn’t develop such a super-large diesel engine!” Rudolph was a little shocked.
He even said that he was shocked beyond recognition!
“The Li’s Shipbuilding Company is already ahead of me in terms of diesel engines!” Rudolph said bitterly.
Yes!
He was the inventor himself, and the latecomers only hanged him for a few years.
…
The Flying Fish sailed slowly on the vast sea.
Li Lin didn’t know that the outside world had already paid all kinds of attention to his Flying Fish, and everyone was waiting for its arrival.
Even, not only the shipbuilding world, but even the navies of the major forces are paying attention.
England.
“This Flying Fish can reach a speed of 21 knots… What if diesel engines are used on warships?”
“I didn’t expect that this kind of high-horsepower and large-scale diesel engine was developed by Li’s Shipbuilding Company. It seems that I still have to deal with Li Lin.”
If it was said that the most hated person in England and Li Lin, it must be the navy.
After all, the Straits Fleet was harmed by Li Lin at the beginning.
Of course, there is not much friction between Ying Lun and Li Lin at present.
I also purchased Li Lin’s submarine once before.
other forces.
“Send someone to participate in this ship exchange meeting. Be sure to learn more about the Flying Fish and the diesel engine!”
“Even ask Li Lin if he can customize the diesel engine and use it on our warship. We can try it on the destroyer now.”
“This diesel engine may usher in a huge pattern change in the future development prospects!”
