After using 12,260 tons of steel, China created a sea monster, this sea monster is so unique that it is difficult for the world to find a second homogeneous product, which makes India call this impossible, so what kind of monster has China created?

What kind of sea monster is China making with 12,260 tons of steel? In fact, China is not making a sea monster this time, but with 12,260 tons of steel to make a high-end large cruise ship, and people call the construction of cruise ships, equivalent to the construction of monsters, the reason is that it is not so easy to build a cruise ship, because the cruise ship is in a sense a luxury, and luxury goods must necessarily need to be meticulously crafted, even at any cost, so only the most high-end designers and the most skilled shipbuilders work together. Only with this 12,260 tons of steel, high-efficiency power system and survival and maintenance support system, as well as various exquisite decorations customized from the hands of major luxury product processors at home and abroad, can we create China's first luxury cruise ship.

But the cruise ship is not just a luxury, it also needs to bring enough profits to its owners, which brings a very huge challenge to the designers and builders of the cruise ship: in order to control the cost, the cruise ship can not use its own high-yield steel plate as its main construction material, and in order to ensure the abundance of space inside the luxury cruise ship, the cruise ship designers will reduce the thickness of the main structure of the hull as much as possible when the structural strength allows. But while making the cruise ship more friendly to passengers, it has become a more difficult challenge for cruise ship builders.
Take China's first domestically produced large cruise ship as an example: this behemoth made of 12,260 tons of steel has a displacement of up to 130,000 tons, and the weight of this part of the extra part is basically added after the main structure was built, and was filled with more than 20,000 sets of equipment used to build 136 systems, in order to connect these devices, Chinese also deploy cables with a length of up to 4200 kilometers on this ship. 450 km of ventilation ducts and 350 km of liquid material pipes to ensure that the ship can be in normal operating condition, and the above series of equipment, a large part of which must be deployed in the narrow area below the water line of the hull, to ensure that the hull has more space to accommodate luxuries at the same time, with the help of this series of heavy equipment to stabilize the hull center, so as to ensure the stability of the cruise ship during the voyage.

With the help of China's superb shipbuilding technology, the installation of the core components of this luxury cruise ship has now been basically completed, and now it is the decoration of the cabin area of the hull and the installation of various luxury goods, including luxury furniture, and perhaps, it will not be long before the new luxury cruise ship can carry out experimental voyages, thus conducting the initial test of whether it can receive guests.
After China successfully built its first domestic luxury cruise ship, China will try to increase the localization ratio of its own cruise equipment as much as possible to ensure that its shipbuilding capacity is greater improved, coupled with the various technological breakthroughs that China has made when building this luxury cruise ship, it can be applied to future Chinese-produced warships, and it may not be long before the domestic new warships that use cruise ship precision welding technology will soon meet with Chinese.
