Chapter 287 The blueprint of the ocean empire!

The Swallowtail Butterfly rides the wind and waves, moving forward like a fast-moving island. The bow of the ship is like a knife, splitting the huge waves and making a terrifying roar, leaving huge white ripples in the deep ocean.

Four giant permanent magnet vector motors for marine use provide a driving force of up to 31.20,000 horsepower to this 200,000-ton giant ship, and the single-machine power reached a crazy 7.80,000 horsepower!

You should know that the total thrust of the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only 280,000 horsepower, and the largest diesel engine manufactured in my country is the ultra-long stroke 7g80me-c produced by Dalian Chuanchai, and the single-machine power is only 44,839 horsepower.

This power is quite amazing. Xingchen Technology's permanent magnet vector motor uses only one-twelveth of the volume of Dalian Chuanchai, and it reaches 1:77 times its power. The superiority of the motor is undoubtedly revealed again.

In order to achieve faster speeds, Swallowtail Butterfly redesigned its hull structure and used higher strength steel. Although this will inevitably increase costs, faster navigation speeds will improve overall transportation efficiency, which is still very cost-effective.

In short, when the news of the Swallowtail Butterfly officially set sail spread throughout the world, the world went crazy.

The reason is obvious. A new era has arrived. Ninety-eight percent of the world's international trade relies on maritime transportation, and China's all-electric propulsion maritime transportation system will be the strongest on this earth, no doubt about it!

The Swallowtail Butterfly successfully completed a two-hour trial voyage. It circled a large circle in the ocean and then returned to the dock in Hudu.

There, a celebration party was ready, and Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology researchers would also visit the scene in person.

Denmark, Copenhagen, Maersk Group Headquarters.

The plenary meeting of the Executive Committee is being held. As the world's largest shipping group, Denmark's Maersk's reaction was rapid.

After learning the accurate news that the China All-electric Propulsion Ship was successfully trialed, they immediately sent the chief representative to China Zhuang Mocheng to negotiate with Xingchen Technology Group, which mastered this historic great technology. However, they received a piece of news that surprised them.

"Xingchen Technology has made it clear that they have enough partners in China, so all-electric propulsion ships and related technologies will not be sold to the outside world, and no matter how much we spend, we can't buy them." Chief Operating Officer Toft said with a heavy expression.

There was a sigh in the conference room, some people frowned, and some people turned the ballpoint pen in their hands.

"So, COSCO Shipping, which ranks third in the world, has joined forces with Star Technology?" asked an executive committee member.

Toft nodded slightly, "It should be more than that. In addition to COSCO Shipping, China also has Zhonggu Logistics, which is ranked 16th in the world, Ansheng Shipping, which is ranked 17th in the world, Haifeng International, which is ranked 18th in the world, China Foreign Transportation Co., Ltd., which is ranked 22th in the 37th in Ningbo Ocean, Dalian Shifeng, which is ranked 49th in the 49th in Shanghai, and Shanghai Hua, Jinjiang, Taicang, Jifa, Datong, Hongxiang, and Hede."

"At present, they occupy 14 of the top 100 shipping ships in the world. Although their overall strength is average, with the strong support of Star Technology, I believe that the major shipping groups in China will achieve great development in the near future."

Everyone was speechless again. In July 2018, COSCO Shipping, ranked fourth, acquired Oriental Overseas, the world's seventh-ranked shipping group, thus surpassing Dafeisteel and becoming the third largest player in the world.

In the field of shipping, Denmark Maersk is the only one, accounting for 16.4% of the global market share, Switzerland's Mediterranean Shipping accounts for 14.7%, China COSCO Shipping accounts for 11.6%, and France's casino ships account for 11.2%.

The four major shipping groups account for more than half of the global market, which shows that this is a world monopolized by giants.

Except for COSCO Shipping, the rest of China Xia are small companies, accounting for only 16% of the global share. In other words, all China Xia Shipping Groups are not as large as the Denmark Maersk and cannot pose a threat to the giants at all.

As the world's largest trading country, the decline of China's shipping industry is really not worthy of its market position.

However, overnight, the situation was completely changed. Xingchen Technology's all-electric propulsion ship emerged and was about to completely reverse the pattern of the shipping industry.

The new ship equipped with the Carmen vortex power generation array has no takeaway plan and is only supplied to domestic partners. This is tantamount to being sentenced to death for the global shipping giant led by Maersk.

One-fifth of the cost, two-three-fold speed, fools also know what this means.

The depressing in the conference room was so suffocating that it was breathless. At this time, the major shareholder Broad asked: "I heard that although Xingchen Technology's all-electric ship is very powerful, it also has a fatal weakness. It can only be equipped with large ships, and requires a displacement of 200,000 tons."

"In this world, we need not only super-large freighters, but also small and medium-sized freighters as a supplement to our capacity. Even if we lose our dominance in the field of super-large freighters, we can maintain the transportation business of small and medium-sized ships, there is no problem?"

Toft rubbed his temples and looked at the company's major shareholder and said, "Port Renovation."

Brod was stunned and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about the port renovation project." Toft spread his arms helplessly, "While China's shipbuilding industry began to invest in large-scale fully electric ships, their national team also introduced another plan, the port renovation project."

"Everyone knows that the freight costs of large freighters are the cheapest, and many ports cannot dock super-large freighters due to their age. Therefore, the Chinese authorities have introduced a port renovation plan to provide low-interest loans to help transform ports around the world to meet the docking needs of electric-push freighters."

"Guess, which country is the most experienced country in the world that has the most experience in building ports?"

"It's China!"

Brod said with his eyes dull, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“Which country is the fastest to build ports?”

"It's China"

“Which country is the largest port equipment manufacturer?”

"It's still Huaxia, their Yangshan Port has been almost fully automatic."

After saying this, the major shareholder Brod collapsed in his seat.

He had fully understood that Xingchen Technology's ambitions are not only about shipping and shipbuilding, but also about ports and port aircraft!

Is this port profitable?

Of course, it is profitable. Although ordinary people do not understand it, operating a port is actually very profitable. Ships docking, replenishing, loading and unloading all have to pay for fees. This is the main source of economic resources for the port.

More importantly, assuming that China can control a country's ports is equivalent to taking over the lifeblood of the foreign trade economy. After all, 98% of the world's international trade is completed through maritime transportation.

In 2010, China COSCO Group took over the soon-to-be-bank port of Piraeus, Greece. With its strong strength in port operations, it made a profit after taking over just three months!

In 2016, COSCO Group bought another 67% of the equity in this port. So far, the Port of Piraeus, Greece, was completely controlled by China.

In 2010, Piraeus Port ranked 93rd in the world, but with the efforts of China Capital, as of 2018, this port has ranked 36th in the world! Such a huge leap-up shocked the entire Europe!

Europeans finally understood why seven of the top ten ports in the world are operated by China, because China is really the world's best in operating ports and producing port machinery!

Toft said with a heartache, "Now everyone should understand. It seems that Xingchen Technology is building ships, but in fact their ambitions are far more than that. They also have to take away the global shipping market, port operation market, and port machinery market!"

"Simply put, they want everything related to marine transportation!"

"It was also through the channels of global survey companies that I was surprised to find that before I knew it, China had controlled dozens of important ports around the world."

"Myanmar's Kyaukpyu Port, Sri Lanka's Hambantote Port, Pakistan's Guadal Port, Egypt's Port, Piraeus Port, Djibouti Port, Papua New Guinea's Port, Melbourne Port, Kenya's Port, and Baranagua Port, Brazil."

"Wait, these ports have all been controlled by China Capital, shipbuilding, shipping, ports, port machinery, offshore engineering, port construction, and coastal defense. Their tentacles are already everywhere. They are trying to build a new marine empire!"

Boom ~

After hearing these words, everyone present felt as if they were struck by lightning and their hearts accelerated wildly.
