Chapter 21 Meeting (1)

The time after dinner is a daily meeting. The heads of each department and each construction project must attend this meeting to make a brief summary of today's work in all aspects, and then communicate about the work arrangements for the next day.

As part of the project acceptance process, today's meeting was fortunate enough to move into the prefabricated room that was just completed in the afternoon. Of course, this conference room looks relatively simple, with three folding tables made of a long bar table, surrounded by a circle.

Folding stools, and the drinks provided at the conference are also very limited, only boiled water and Eagle tea. Of course, there are no restrictions on participants bringing their own drinks, so there are many artistic young people who come to the conference with Starbucks mugs.

Pretending to be cool.

As a special treat from the Executive Committee, this conference room has been given priority to install photovoltaic panels and indoor lighting circuits on the roof. The soft light emitted by the LED ceiling lights on the ceiling gives everyone the illusion of returning to the old time and space.

According to the arrangements of the Ministry of Energy, photovoltaic power generation systems will be installed on the roofs of all prefabricated houses to meet the basic needs for electricity in the lives of the people in Base No. 1. In the future, when the people in Chuanchuang go to other places to open mines, these

The prefabricated house with easy loading and unloading and photovoltaic power generation system will also be fully utilized.

At present, the construction of Base No. 1 is still the most important infrastructure project, so first is the work summary from the Ministry of Construction. As the boss of the Ministry of Construction, this report was originally supposed to be done by Tao Donglai, but because he wears multiple hats

, and almost half of the day was busy dealing with Ming army affairs, so the command work on the construction site today was completed by Liu Shanxia, ​​the second-in-command of the Ministry of Construction.

Liu Shanxia is 30 years old, a native of Jiangxi, and single. Before time travel, he worked as a project manager in a real estate development company under the name of Tao Donglai, also known as a contractor. Liu Shanxia joined the team at the end of last year, and at the beginning of this year he went to prefabricated houses specifically

The manufacturer received half a month of technical training, so he was basically responsible for the on-site command and dispatch of the construction of prefabricated houses at Base No. 1.

The dark-skinned Liu Shanxia began his summary report in Jianghuai Mandarin: "...At present, the piling and reinforcement work of the temporary dock in Victory Port has been completed, and the construction progress of the prefab house at Base No. 1 is about 90% complete. The installation of doors and windows will be completed tomorrow.

The roof photovoltaic power generation system and the laying of indoor electrified lighting lines... By the way, it is actually no problem to arrange for some people to move in tonight. The water treatment system of the other base No. 1 has been installed before dinner, and it is expected to be no later than tomorrow morning.

We can start the trial run, and then Mr. Bai will no longer have to face the wrath of the Women’s Federation.”

Someone in the crowd let out a low laugh. This morning, many people saw the scene of Raisa scolding Bai Kesi. The scene of two executive committee members, Bai Kesi and Gu Kai, being scolded by a foreign girl until they were speechless has been widely circulated in the camp.

Just a joke. If nothing else, a considerable number of male chauvinist defenders should have started to quarrel with feminists on the forum at this moment.

Tao Donglai coughed dryly and said, "Don't let the topic go too far. Let's get down to business. What about other work arrangements tomorrow?"

Liu Shanxia turned over a page in the notebook under his hand: "In addition to completing the installation of the prefab house tomorrow, we will also start preparing to build a charcoal kiln for burning charcoal, a wood drying room, a small lime kiln and a salt drying field near the sea. Construction site

It has been confirmed, but our existing building material reserves are very limited. According to the plan, most of them have to be reserved for the construction of small hydropower stations in the upper reaches of Tiandu River. I suggest that local limestone, gypsum and clay minerals be mined as soon as possible, and the cement production line should be built first.

In addition, the equipment for making bricks without firing must be debugged as soon as possible before the follow-up construction plan can be discussed. Regarding the information and locations of these mines, the Ministry of Information Industry has already prepared them, but our Ministry of Construction can now

The manpower mobilized is limited, and it is impossible to start the projects I just mentioned at the same time, let alone free more manpower to open mines. Therefore, I hope that the Executive Committee can favor us in terms of policy, at least in terms of manpower.

Ensure our needs.”

"Opening a mine requires a lot of manpower." Ning Qi, who is currently in charge of human resources deployment, responded in a low voice.

"Didn't we capture dozens of prisoners of the Ming army today? These are all excellent labor forces. I apply to transfer these people to the Ministry of Construction first." Liu Shanxia revealed his true purpose without any concealment.

"There are only so many people in total, and you want them all with just one mouth. Doesn't it seem a bit like being a solitary eater?" Others raised questions about this.

Liu Shanxia was obviously fully prepared for the possible situation. He shook his head and retorted: "I am not living alone. To put it bluntly, our Ministry of Construction is responsible for all the projects under construction now. If I

If there is not enough manpower to stop work, then all subsequent projects will have to stop and wait. Comrades, time is money! If you give me the labor force one day earlier, everyone can live in the apartment and take a hot bath one day earlier. Isn't this right?

Okay?"

When it comes to a topic that is of vital interest to everyone, the participants have lost the motivation to refute. After traveling through time and space, the most difficult thing to adapt to is not the hot and humid climate or the heavy physical labor, but the simple and crude conditions.

Living conditions. In the eyes of most people, without a hut of their own, they seem to be unable to find enough security and belonging. And if you want to be allocated a welfare house as soon as possible, you must not bypass the Ministry of Construction, so support

A job in the Ministry of Construction seems to be the only option. But most, not all, people think so. For example, the Ministry of Shipping does not agree with this manpower allocation plan.

"I don't agree to hand over all the Ming troops captured today to the Ministry of Construction!" Sun Changmi raised his hand to express his attitude. Although Yue Zhiyun sitting next to him did not speak, his calm expression showed that his views were consistent with Sun Changmi's.

Mi is consistent - this also represents the attitude of the Ministry of Shipping.

"Yue Zhiyun and I just went to see the ship. According to the prisoners, it is called Haicang Ship. Simply put, we can think of it as a small fortune ship, with a displacement of about 80 tons. The ship's planks are made of

It is made of fir, the mast is made of camphor wood, the hull is waterproofed with a mixture of tung oil, oyster shell ash and hemp silk. In addition, a large number of iron nails are used to connect the ship planks and the hull.

Nails, square nails, shovel nails, flat head nails, curium nails..."

"Can you tell me the key points?" Some people were a little impatient with the listing of these details. After all, not everyone is interested in studying the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

"This brings us to the point." Sun Changmi was not unhappy because he was interrupted, and continued: "With our current conditions, it will take six to eight months to replicate such a ship.

This has to be done under the premise of preparing all the ship materials. Considering that we have to build a new shipyard, this time will be delayed by at least one month."

There was a whisper among the crowd. Everyone knew that Sanya was not the end of the great journey, but the starting point. However, if the plan to expand the territory is to be carried forward, shipping is undoubtedly an indispensable and important link. And as a

Sun Changmi, a professional, was obviously not optimistic about the foreseeable shipbuilding plan, which made everyone a little uneasy - it took half a year to build a lucky ship with a displacement of less than 100 tons, how many years would it take to wait?

See the fleet galloping across the ocean?

Tao Donglai and Ning Qi discussed in a low voice for a few words before asking: "So the Ministry of Shipping thinks that among the Ming troops captured today, there are people who can be useful?"

"That's right." Sun Changmi was very satisfied that Tao Donglai could hear what he was saying. He nodded and said, "I have read the interrogation records. Among the ten sailors, three of them worked in the boat house and have certain qualifications."

Shipbuilding experience, this kind of familiarity can greatly shorten the time required for shipbuilding. In addition, this ship will still need this group of sailors to operate it until we train our own sailors, because currently none of us can control the Chinese style on the ship.

Hard sail."

"Chinese-style sailboats are inconvenient to operate and slow, so why don't we just build Western-style sailboats? The schooners should be much faster than the fuchuan, right?" Some semi-understanding civilian experts in the crowd made suggestions.

"The schooner has many advantages, but we can't build it yet... to be precise, we won't be able to use it for the time being." Yue Zhiyun took over: "Because we can't make the sails and ropes ourselves for the time being.

Tools, as for when schooners will be available, it depends on when the Ministry of Agriculture will grow cotton, or when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will complete the first transaction of imported canvas."

Everyone on the executive committee knows very well that in the development plan of the Ministry of Agriculture, grain and livestock are given priority, followed by cash crops. However, the climate conditions in Hainan are not ideal for growing cotton. This does not mean that

It cannot be grown, but it is unscientific to plant cotton on a large scale in the mountainous Tiandu Valley area. This is not very scientific in the eyes of the Ministry of Agriculture. Therefore, in the future, a considerable part of the fabrics including canvas will have to be counted on.

Import from other places. However, if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for diplomacy and commerce, wants to do import and export trade, it must rely on a fleet of a certain size. So the topic returns to the starting point - when will the Ministry of Shipping be able to build a ship worthy of the trade?

Ship used?

"I see it this way. The next task of the Shipping Department is to select a location for the shipyard. Lao Bai is responsible for the preparation of the wood drying room and ship materials. The ten sailors captured today can be used by the Shipping Department first. Xiao

Sun, I know that you have prepared a lot of shipbuilding information for a long time. Your shipping department will complete the construction plan as soon as possible according to the actual situation, and strive to start construction as soon as the ship materials are available." In the end, it was Tao Donglai who made the decision and changed the original plan.

The person assigned to the Ministry of Construction plucked out ten more people.

Then Yuan Qiuye of the Ministry of Agriculture made a report - his old man Yuan Ruoxiu was frightened in the small fishing village in the afternoon and was not in good spirits. He went to rest after dinner. According to the investigation of the Ministry of Agriculture, the location of the fishing village west of Victory Port is not suitable for use.

After repeated inspections and comprehensive consideration of later development situations, the Ministry of Agriculture believes that the area along the east bank of the Tiandu River is the most suitable area for agricultural land within the current controllable range.

The terrain is flat, the forest density is low, and it is very convenient to divert water for irrigation. According to estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture, even if only half of this area is used to grow food, it is enough to feed three to four thousand people.

Then there is the work report of the Ministry of Energy. According to today’s joint team’s on-site investigation to the upper reaches of the Tiandu River, the Ministry of Energy has given a two-level hydropower construction plan. That is, a small hydropower station will be set up in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River first, and the site will be located at

A small dam was also built in later generations. Because the terrain is flat, construction is less difficult, but at the same time, the water storage capacity is small, and the generator set may not be able to fully function. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy believes that this hydropower station on the river can only install two units.

A smaller power 150KW slope-type hydroelectric generator was built. Later, a dam was built to install the generator set at the Songhe Reservoir next to the Seta Iron Mine. Because this place is located on a mountain, the water source mainly comes from many nearby mountains.

It is located in a mountain spring rather than a Tiandu River. The water storage capacity and terrain difference are relatively large. It will be used as the main power plant for industrial production and power generation in the future. It is planned to install four 320kw Francis turbine generators. At the same time, the two hydropower stations are one high and one low.

The distance is only a few hundred meters, and it will be much easier to implement grid-connected power generation in the future.

Of course, building a dam for the reservoir is still a mid- to long-term plan. The current plan is to build a small hydropower station on the Tiandu River first, and the reservoir dam on the mountain will have to wait until the local cement factory is put into operation at the earliest - Crossing

The few building materials brought by the public could barely build a dam on the Tiandu River, let alone a reservoir. Later, Sanya City was quite rich in water resources, and the first hydropower station on the Tiandu River was also acquired by the Ministry of Industry.

The Joint Development Office formed by the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy regards it as a good opportunity to accumulate experience. However, in order to carry out large-scale hydraulic development in the future, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the industrial sector produces qualified bearing steel. After all, hydroelectric generators are among the materials.

With so many units, sooner or later you will have to build your own generator.

Another problem that must be solved is that the location of the hydropower station planned by the Ministry of Energy is nearly 20 miles away from the No. 1 base on the shore of Victory Port. However, there is currently no land transportation at this distance. How to make full use of the field?

Duhe's transportation capacity is quite difficult to transport relevant materials and personnel there. Although corresponding plans and programs have been formulated in advance, it still feels difficult when the matter comes. The heads of various departments are frowning and staring at

On the map hanging on the wall, among the place names marked on it, the four names of the First Hydropower Station, the Second Hydropower Station, Tiandu Iron Mine and Industrial Base are almost connected together, and a large circle is drawn with a red pen on the outside.

It's clearly marked - Base No. 2.
Chapter completed!
