This pirate attack resulted in the deaths and injuries of 135 crew members and 23 passengers.
After repelling a wave of pirate attacks, Prince Steele immediately ordered a return trip and sailed the cruise ship back to Walvis Bay overnight.
As the host here, Chen Chen simply booked the remaining vacancies in all the hotels in Walvis Bay for this group of tourists who had narrowly escaped death.
This poor group of people will basically never dare to take a boat in this life.
The Namibian authorities also expressed great importance to this pirate attack case and stated that in the future, combating piracy will be one of the basic national policies.
On Chen Chen's side, the heirs of four financial families died in his hands, and a lot of trouble followed. Fortunately, there were so many eyes staring at him in the casino, so there was no unexplainable problem.
Besides, my stupid son wants to usurp the throne. I believe that as long as these fathers are not useless, they will not be unaware of it.
Chen Chen had no interest in paying attention to what happened next. He left the mess directly to Qian Wenhuan to deal with, and he took the company's negotiation team and flew directly to Germany, Europe.
As a country in the sub-federal system of the Earth Federation, although Germany suffered a disastrous defeat after World War II, in 1992, as the five permanent members of the United Nations simultaneously announced that the United Nations would officially transform into the Earth Federation, all forces in the world began to violently reshuffle, and Germany also successfully got rid of it. The hat of a defeated country has been given an opportunity to rise.
With Xiao
There are only four shipyards in the world that have the ability to build cruise ships of more than 200,000 tons, namely Aker Shipyard in Finland, Meyer Werft in Germany, Atlantique Shipyard in France, and Fincanter Shipyard in Italy.
Among them, although Germany's Meyer Werft is not the cheapest, its construction speed is the fastest among all shipyards.
Meyer Werft is known as the "German Master" and is the largest and most modern shipyard in Germany. However, as soon as he got off the plane, the manager of Meyer Werft came to greet Chen Chen.
After some pleasantries, everyone got in the car and drove towards the headquarters of Meyer Werft.
Next, Chen Chen visited the shipyard of Meyer Werft, which is also the largest indoor shipyard in the world so far.
This dock is 504 meters long, 125 meters wide, and 75 meters high. Being in it is like standing in a dragon's lair, and humans are like bugs in the nest.
The person responsible for leading Chen Chen around the dock this time was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mustache and a deep and steady temperament.
At this time, the man asked, "Mr. Chen Chen, that's it for the tour. I wonder what kind of cruise ship you want to customize?"
"Are there still many categories of cruise ships?" Chen Chen asked, staring at a cruise ship under construction in the dock.
"That's not true, but according to economic level, cruise ships can be divided into economic cruise ships and commercial cruise ships. In addition, there are luxury cruise ships."
The mustached man explained, "For example, the world's largest Ocean Series cruise ship. All of this series are luxury cruise ships."
"The main feature of luxury cruise ships is to highlight the travel experience of passengers. You must know that the size of the Ocean Series cruise ships is enough to carry tens of thousands of passengers."
"However, in order to provide passengers with a more superior experience, only more than 2,000 rooms are actually designed on the cruise ship, which can only carry 6,000 people. Most of the space has been turned into public facilities for service purposes."
"In addition, the facilities on the luxury cruise ship are also top-notch."
The mustached man pointed to a cruise ship under construction, "From every restaurant to the furniture in the guest rooms, it's just a cabin, but the decoration level inside is equivalent to a five-star hotel. These are all The hallmark of a luxury cruise ship.”
Chen Chen nodded as he listened, "What about the power system?"
"Cruise ships have high requirements for power system performance, noise and other conditions. According to our company's statistical analysis of global cruise ships, the largest number of luxury cruise ships use 'diesel-electric' propulsion power systems, accounting for more than 70%."
"There are only 10 cruise ships using 'diesel' hybrid power systems, while there are 33 cruise ships using diesel power systems; there is only one luxury cruise ship using nuclear propulsion."
This time, without waiting for Chen Chen to ask further, Mustache automatically explained, "The so-called 'diesel-electric' propulsion power is to use a diesel engine to generate electricity to provide electric energy for the electric motor to drive the propeller. It is extremely suitable for luxury cruise ships in terms of economy and performance. . ”
"What about nuclear power?"
Chen Chen asked directly.
Mustache looked a little weird when he heard this, but he still said, "Although we humans have realized nuclear power plants, we have to say that the power of cruise ships is very different from that of land-based devices. The reactors are expensive to build and complex to maintain. On cruise ships, nuclear power plants are The investment in power is ten times that of ordinary power, which is very uneconomical.”
"I see." Chen Chen nodded, "In that case, my cruise ship should follow the trend and use diesel-electric devices."
"It's the most sane thing."
Mustache agreed, "So are you planning to customize your cruise now? I don't know what your requirements are. We have a large number of ship designers who can help you solve them."
“I want my cruise ship to be as big as possible.”
Chen Chen thought for a while, "The length is about 500 meters, the width is about 100 meters, the higher the power system, the better. I heard that ships have more than one power system?"
"Generally speaking, cruise ships have one set of main power and one set of backup power." After hearing the dimensions reported by Chen Chen, Mustache's eyes widened and he answered subconsciously.
"In this case, I will have a double portion."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "I want to install two sets of main power and two sets of backup power on the cruise ship."
“…”
The mustache was startled for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings. A power system includes diesel generators, electric motors and other equipment. These equipments are very huge and weigh extremely high. Four sets of power equipment are enough There is no economic advantage in occupying the entire bottom of the hull..."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Chen shook his head, "I didn't build the cruise ship for profit, but to build a maritime experimental base."
"Sea experimental base?" Mustache was even more confused.
Chen Chen nodded, "I do need a lot of entertainment facilities on my ship, but I don't need guest rooms. At most, they are dormitories and laboratories, and laboratories require the support of a large amount of power systems."
"I see."
Mustache finally understood and forced a smile, "In other words, you are not planning to build a cruise ship, but to build a work ship?"
"Yes, it is a work ship that can be anchored in the 'high seas' for experiments." Chen Chen replied with a hint.
"OK… "
Mustache wiped the sweat from his forehead, "In that case, what power system are you going to use? If your boat needs such a large size, we recommend that you choose our company's largest Leroy Somer LSA62 generator. , each unit has a power of about 20,000 kilowatts."
"Of course, choose the one with the highest power." Chen Chen said matter-of-factly.
"It's definitely a smart choice."
Mustache felt relieved, "We have 12 Leroy-Somer LSA62 generators left here. If you want to install a few more spares, how many do you want to buy?"
When Chen Chen heard this, he simply stretched out his hand, put it in front of Mustache and held it tightly.
"I want them all!"
