A few days ago, Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group officially released the world's first and the world's largest 24,000 containers of nuclear-powered container ships. The ship type has high safety, the reactor operates at high temperature and low pressure, avoids core melting in principle, and has anti-proliferation and inherent safety features.
The amount of information brought by this industry news is unusually huge. It means that our country becomes the fifth country to propose a technical programme for nuclear-powered freighters. And compared with the less successful nuclear-powered cargo ship designs in other countries, the overall design of this nuclear-powered container ship scheme is advanced, especially in the key reactor parts, with high reliability and safety, and the overall has reached the international advanced level. It also means that it has become possible for China to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
The name of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group, which released this news, was "Jiangnan Shipyard" before the establishment of the group, do students feel that this name is somewhat familiar?Yes, that's right, it has the same name as the Jiangnan shipyard that was first established during the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, and in fact, the predecessor of the current Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group was the Jiangnan shipyard back then.
Like high-speed rail, China's shipbuilding industry is now at the forefront of the world from technology to capacity, becoming another business card of China. However, in 150 years, China's shipbuilding industry from nothing to the current world forefront is not easy, it can be said that it is a reflection of China's social development and progress, industry from small to large, economic from weak to strong typical.
At that time, the shipyard was built under the pressure of the strong ships and cannons of the great powers, and the modern new shipyard in China was built in order to imitate the Western ship cannons.
In 1865, he was one of the representatives of the Westernization Movement.
1. Li Hongzhang, the governor of Liangjiang, took the lead in establishing the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. This general bureau later set up more than a dozen factories, including the Jiangnan Shipyard, at that time, the steamship was the initiator of the Westernization Movement first wanted to build the modern **, because it was the steel ships with cannons that the great powers opened the door of China. Building a steel ship and dominating the sea was the dream of the reformists of the Westernization Movement.
At the beginning, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau built China's first wooden mobile troop ship "Huiji" and the first ironclad ** "Jinou", although it was a sensation but the dream was not realized as scheduled, and the reason behind it was the decadent and backward system of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Because of backward management and corruption, Jiangnan Shipyard began to gradually fall silent and abandoned. It was not until 30 years later, when Jiangnan Shipbuilding was separated from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and introduced commercial enterprise management, that it was revitalized, and by 1918, four 10,000-ton ships were built for the United States, the largest ship ever built by the Chinese. However, with the subsequent outbreak of Japan's war of aggression against China, Jiangnan Shipyard never recovered until the founding of New China.
Jiangnan Shipyard was a microcosm of China's shipbuilding industry at that time, and the same fate was the Fujian Mawei Shipyard established by Zuo Zongtang, another big man in the Westernization Movement, which was also completely shut down in 1907 due to management corruption after a period of glory. Later, although it was saved, it was still difficult to hide the defeat.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these shipyards began a brilliant rebirth, and continued to create one "first" after another: China's first submarine, the first frigate, the first 10,000-ton hydraulic press, the first self-developed domestic 10,000-ton ship "Dongfeng", the first-generation space survey ship "Yuanwang 1", and the first large ocean-going survey ship "Xiang Yanghong 10" ......
Every "first" marks the overall rebirth and development of China's shipbuilding industry and the rapid development of China's shipbuilding technology.
On December 10, China's first domestically produced large cruise ship "Aida Modu" completed the installation of all marine products and will start its first commercial voyage on January 1, 2024. This cruise ship is currently the world's most complex single mechanical and electrical products, testing not only shipbuilding technology and technology, but also management mode and related industry support, directly reflecting a country's equipment construction capacity and comprehensive scientific and technological level.
On November 24, China independently designed and built 17The 40,000 cubic meter large LNG carrier "Geneva" was named and delivered at the Changxing Island shipbuilding base. It is extremely difficult to manufacture large LNG carriers, and the technical performance indicators are the best in the world, surpassing foreign competitors for the first time.
This indicates that China has the ability to build aircraft carriers, large LNG carriers, and large cruise ships at the same time, and has gathered the "three jewels in the crown" of the global shipbuilding industry.
Not only that, China's shipbuilding industry has ranked first in the world for 13 consecutive years, and it is the only country in the world that has achieved comprehensive growth in the three major indicators this year. Among them, the number of new orders received by China's shipbuilding accounts for 67% of the world's market share, which means that China's shipbuilding industry is gradually grasping the initiative in the global market and is moving from an influential shipbuilding power to a world shipbuilding power.
A few days ago, there was a ** viral rumor: the grand scene of workers in a domestic shipyard getting off work attracted the attention of foreign netizens, who were amazed that this is the reason for the fast speed of China's shipbuilding.
Indeed, if there is an order, you must also be able to do so. The biggest advantage of China's shipbuilding industry is the ability advantage, more and more independent design, more and more independent support, and the skill level of workers is getting higher and higher, it can be seen that China's shipbuilding industry is the center of the world's shipbuilding in the future.
