Chapter 228 Trip to Vietnam (11)

After sending away the gloomy-looking Gu Kai, Tao Donglai didn't take this matter too seriously. There were indeed a few people in the time travel group who had a similar mentality to Gu Kai, thinking that since they came to this time and space, they should build a

A more ideal social system, such as equality for all, equal pay for equal work, etc. But Tao Donglai knew very well that this so-called absolute equality system was simply impossible to achieve. After all, most people abandoned their original lives and came to this time and space.

It is not for such a great purpose as liberating the working people. Like Gu Kai and Raisa, who talk about slogans such as "equality", "freedom" and "democracy" by later generations of Western politicians all day long, in fact, regardless of whether they are traveling through time

The influence within the group and among the naturalized people is quite limited. The vast majority of people still prefer the existing structure of the crossing group, with a very small number of elites as decision-makers, the crossing people as the leaders, and the naturalized people as the

Implementers, such a pyramid structure is more suitable for their own development needs.

Nothing happened all night. Early the next morning, Tao Donglai went to the canteen alone to check the operation status of the logistics department.

Compared with Victory Port, the residential area in Heitu Port is more concentrated and the population density is higher. Therefore, the canteen here is divided into the north and the south. The south canteen where Tao Donglai is located mainly deals with the staff of the management committee.

Military and police personnel, a small number of immigrants who moved from Victory Port in the early stage, and some local women and children. The breakfast content is very simple, rice porridge with pickles, but there are indeed a lot of ingredients added to the porridge. In addition to several common sea vegetables,

There is even a small amount of scallops. The special breakfast at Chuanzhong is slightly better, with each person having an egg and a half-foot-long sea fish.

Soon a group of people from the management committee also appeared in the canteen. After everyone had breakfast together, Tao Donglai ordered Gu Kai, Zhou Hengxing and Tian Yeyou to go with him to inspect the local residential areas and production.

District, and Wang Tom is responsible for checking the status of local ordnance and military facilities. Military chief Qian Tiandun is still on the Tushan Peninsula, and the entourage assigned to Wang Tom by the management committee is actually naturalized citizen Corporal Gao Qiaonan

.

Tao Dong came to see Gao Qiaonan and brought a group of militiamen who were standing straight outside the canteen, wearing camouflage training uniforms and carrying a musket almost as tall as him. He couldn't help joking: "What is the attitude of this guy Gao Qiaonan?"

He's very upright! Whenever I see him, he always looks like he's ready to go to the battlefield."

Zhou Hengxing coughed dryly and said: "Corporal Gao Qiaonan's performance in the local area is still very good. Since he took charge of the security inspection work in the residential area, the local security situation has improved significantly. I heard that Lieutenant Qian has given

The Military and Police Department made a report and requested that Gao Qiaonan be promoted to a military rank so that he could be given actual duties."

"That's true." Tao Donglai nodded and admitted the rumor: "The Military and Police Department only has so many people. In the future, a large number of grassroots officers will still have to be selected from naturalized civilians. More capable people like Gao Qiaonan

, can be properly cultivated. In addition, because a training camp will be set up on the Tushan Peninsula in the near future, some of the local militia may need to be stationed there to serve as military advisors, so a company of militia will be added to the Black Tu Port, and the soldiers will be in the local area.

The selection will be carried out among the naturalized civilians, and the specific matters can be implemented after Lieutenant Qian returns from Tushan Peninsula."

This news did not surprise everyone in the management committee. In fact, Qian Tiandun had been more or less angry with them before. In fact, everyone knew very well that the expansion of the army was only a matter of time. Crossing the Group

In order to rapidly expand territory in the future, we must rely on strong military power. But so far, except for the military industry, the construction of the army has not brought real visible direct benefits to the crossing group. This is also the impact of the civilian system on

One of the important reasons for opposition to military expansion.

However, in Heitu Port, even the pacifist Gu Kai no longer opposes the expansion of the army, because compared to the base camp, the military and police forces here are too small. There are about a hundred military and police personnel stationed in Heitu Port.

People have to be divided into several places and stationed in several places. There are usually less than twenty mobile personnel. Once a mass incident occurs, such a small number of people cannot suppress the scene. This is why Gu Kai is more worried about the labor treatment of miners.

One reason that can cause dissatisfaction among naturalized people.

The first place Tao Donglai inspected was the naturalized residential area of ​​Heitu Port. After suffering a flood, the residential area of ​​Heitu Port was moved to a fairly high ground on a mountainous plain in the south of the port area. According to the original construction

According to the planning of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the residential areas here have built public facilities such as bathhouses and toilets according to a certain residential density. The private houses are almost all built according to the model of Victory Port. Large areas of neat and uniform boat-shaped houses form small communities.

The residential area here is divided into four areas: A, B, C and D. Tao Donglai noticed that each boat-shaped house has a wooden house number nailed outside. This house number consists of the area number plus a numerical number, such as

A No. 13. Zhou Hengxing said that this is an ongoing attempt by the civil affairs department. In the future, based on this, household registration files will be gradually compiled for local naturalized residents.

The civil affairs management method of Heitu Port is different from that of the base camp. The social system of the base camp is based on communes or units, and the residences are relatively scattered. If the civil affairs department wants to establish files of naturalized citizens, it must rely on units to collect information.

Sorting out. Because the industries in Heitu Port are relatively single and the residential areas are relatively concentrated, there is no commune system for the base camp. It can be said that it is another attempt at a civil administration system. And the benefits gained from establishing this household registration system

The experience will also be used in civil affairs work in Sanya in the future to gradually form a standardized management system.

These boat-shaped house communities were basically built after the floods at the beginning of the port. Therefore, the drainage ditches around the communities were dug deep and wide, and all the boat-shaped houses had at least one foot of clearance from the ground. Even

If the flash floods that occurred at that time were repeated, the damage to residential areas would become extremely limited.

There are tall wooden watchtowers on the periphery of each residential area, and militiamen will stand guard on these watchtowers at night. In addition to fixed-point guards, there are also specialized night patrol teams that patrol around the community from time to time.

Speaking of which, the security measures taken by Heitu Port far exceed those of the base camp. For example, each commune does not arrange any sentries on duty at night. At most, there are two or three people on duty at night and patrol regularly to prevent fires at night.

Disaster occurs.

The northern end of the residential area is adjacent to the port area, and several fishing boats can be seen slowly leaving the port. The focus of Tao Donglai's inspection today is naturally the cargo terminal area further north.

The design of the wharf here is also based on the freight wharf currently under construction in Victory Port, but the overall size is only about one-third of that of Victory Port. At this time, there are several coal ships docked at the wharf, and workers are working nonstop

The coal piled on the dock was loaded onto the ship in baskets. Tao Dong looked at it for a moment and then shook his head slightly and said, "The efficiency is too low."

Gu Kai answered: "Regarding this matter, we have submitted an application for the development of a belt conveyor to the Ministry of Industry. It can be powered by human power, animal power or steam power. We just don't know when it will be used."

For bulk cargoes like coal that require long-term and large-scale transshipment, relevant departments must consider the efficiency of the transportation process. For this reason, all current coal ships have carried out small-scale modifications to the cargo holds to facilitate faster transportation.

Loading and unloading cargo. At present, the existing track from the mining area to the port area in Heitu Port, and the track from the planned port area to Tiandu Industrial Zone in Shengli Port. These major projects are also built to improve the efficiency of transshipment. However, they are only sparse and dense.

Everyone seems to have forgotten to consider the efficiency issue in the process of loading from the dock to the ship. Like now, the coal is first put into the frame on the dock, and two workers lift it onto the ship and then pour the coal into the basket.

In the cabin, this equipment will virtually reduce work efficiency.

Fortunately, they have quickly realized this problem in practice, and it is not too difficult to make up for it. Although the Ministry of Industry currently has a relatively limited production capacity for manufacturing steam engines, it has built two sets of animal-powered belt transmission devices to improve the bulk flow on the dock.

It is not difficult to increase the efficiency of cargo transfer. And as long as a suitable interface is left on the power transmission mechanism, it will be very simple to transform it into steam power when the conditions are suitable in the future.

At the west end of the pier, there is a track about one meter wide extending inland. This is the largest project since the opening of Black Earth Port - the coal transportation track. The actual length of this track is more than 1,500 meters, and it is still

It operates on a single line, with only a section of double-track track built in the middle to facilitate the intersection of rail cars starting from both sides. Gu Kai said that according to the management committee’s plan, the construction of double-track tracks will begin early next year. By then, the coal transportation capacity from the mining area to the port area will be able to

Double the current base.

The chassis of these coal trucks are built in the base camp, and the wheels are shipped by ship. After arriving here, four carriage walls are built with wooden boards on the chassis and they can be put into use directly. Each coal truck consists of four carriages.

, it can transport about ten tons of coal at a time and only needs two to four livestock to pull it. Although the transportation efficiency is not high, the cost of use is extremely low.

At the foot of the mountain to the north of the freight port, there are several workshops, mainly brick kilns, lime kilns and cement kilns. Their production is needed for local infrastructure projects. Because these industries are dusty, they are also

It was placed far away from residential areas - although it was only about one kilometer away, this was considered to be a humanitarian consideration by the management committee.

The Management Committee also wanted to apply to introduce the glass industry to Heitu Port, but the Executive Committee rejected this request after consideration. It is not that the Executive Committee is worried about the leakage of glass manufacturing process technology. After all, many key technical indicators need to be mastered.

In the hands of Chuanchuan's technicians, the main reason is that the base camp is currently trying hard to expand the production capacity of glass products, and it is impossible to spare technical personnel for dispatch. On the contrary, there are still a large number of technical job gaps that need to be filled.

These workshops are considered to be the northern end of the existing territory of Black Earth Port. Further north is a large uninhabited mountainous area. Except for hunting teams with loaded weapons, generally no one goes deep into these dense forests.

Tao Donglai and his party turned back to the south and followed the coal transport track. Gu Kai pointed to a mountain pass ahead and said, "Go through that mountain pass and you'll reach the mining area."

The current Heitugang mining area is divided into three mining sites, all of which are open-pit mining models. One of the mining sites produces coking coal, which is in great demand in the base camp. Before entering the mining area, Tao Donglai saw several coal mines emitting black smoke.

Charcoal kiln. This is also part of the coal supporting industry of Heitu Port. The mining area turns part of the coking coal into coke and transports it back to Victory Port, and extracts asphalt from the coal tar obtained in the process. However, the production environment and production equipment here are extremely

Originally, the naturalized people working here were all blackened by soot, and their original appearance could not be seen at all.

After arriving at the first mining site, Tian Yeyou, as the mining supervisor, began to introduce the production situation here to Tao Donglai: "This mining site was the first place we identified when we came to inspect, so we named it No. 1.

Mine. There are currently 400 workers working in this mine every day, and the daily output of raw coal is approximately 25 to 28 tons."

Tao Donglai noticed that the diameter of the mine here was about two hundred meters. As it continued to be dug, it took on a funnel shape, and the deepest point was at least about ten meters. The coal mined by the miners below was carried by small trucks one after another.

Carts are continuously brought to the ground and loaded onto larger flatbed trucks. Every time a cart is filled, it will be pulled by livestock to the designated coal washing field, where the coal will be washed and screened before being loaded onto the truck and transported to the dock, or

A charcoal kiln for burning coke.

Seeing Tao Donglai frowning, Tian Yeyou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said first: "We will set up a winch-type coal truck here soon to further improve transportation efficiency."

Later generations of open-pit coal mines had large trucks for loading, so there was no problem with transportation capacity. However, the current Heitugang mining area obviously does not have such conditions, and the method of manpower carts is too inefficient, so relevant departments are constantly trying to improve this.

transport efficiency in the process.

Tao Donglai's face softened slightly after hearing this, and then he asked about the work arrangements here. Tian Yeyou did not dare to neglect, and gave a detailed introduction, including the scheduling model of these workers, work remuneration, food supply, etc. Gu Kai was beside him

He had been counting on Tao Donglai to ask him the questions he mentioned the night before, but Tao Donglai obviously did not intend to fulfill his wish. After listening to Tian Yeyou's explanation, he quickly ended his inspection of the mining area.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tao Donglai convened a meeting with the Black Tu Port Management Committee and the heads of some production units. First, he conveyed the recent executive committee's plans to Black Tu Port, and second, he explained a series of agreements recently reached with North Vietnam.

Wang Tom also made a brief report to Tao Donglai on the military inspection situation.

Compared with the energy spent on the Tushan Peninsula, the inspection team's inspection work in the Black Tu Port area seemed to be a bit fleeting. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Tao Donglai's trip was originally scheduled to be

Eight days have passed since the ten-day schedule, and the main purpose of foreign trade has been achieved. It is time to consider the return trip. In addition, Tao Donglai believes that based on what he saw during the inspection, Heitu Port

The life and production order in the area are maintained relatively well, and the development is relatively stable. The leadership team of the management committee is also relatively united. There are no obvious flaws worthy of criticism by the inspection team. If I stay for a few more days, it will be a waste of time for the management.

The committee is causing trouble.

At the end of the meeting, Tao Donglai announced his decision to return the next day, and then followed the reception banquet the previous night, and this night he continued to practice it for Tao Donglai and others.

Early the next morning, the "Speed" sailed away from Black Earth Port as everyone waved goodbye, but before returning to Victory Port, they had one last inspection place to visit.

At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Fushuizhou Island appeared in the sight of the crew. This small island isolated in the Beibu Gulf was regarded by the Executive Committee as a safe haven on this route because of its location right in the middle of the two coasts.

and transfer relay stations for construction.

There are currently a total of twenty personnel stationed on Fushuizhou Island, but there are no Chuanzhong among them. This is something that can't be helped. Compared with the existing settlements, the living environment here on Fushuizhou Island is indeed worse.

Almost all supplies except fresh water must rely on cargo ships. When we first started building the island's living facilities, a few travelers came to live for a while, but they soon couldn't stand the boring and monotonous life here.

Application was made to be transferred back to Black Earth Port.

When the "Speed" docked and landed on the island, almost all the people stationed on the island rushed to the pier to greet them. Among these people stationed on the island were Vietnamese immigrants, and several of them were the first batch of refugees to immigrate to Black Earth Port.

, recognized the sailing ship "Speed" that took them out of the predicament, and when they saw Tom Wang again on the dock, they almost knelt down and kowtowed.

Compared with the people who can't bear the loneliness, these immigrants do have to endure more hardships. However, they have their own reasons for accepting this arrangement - the management committee has promised that they can immigrate as long as they live on the island for half a year.

Settled in Victory Port, where the living conditions are far better than those in Black Earth Port. With such treatment, the job of stationing on the island has become popular among the naturalized residents of Black Earth Port. It is said that the number of people who have signed up to be stationed on the island has been arranged.

By 1630.

The living facilities on the island are very simple, with a small pier and several boat-shaped houses. The only relatively large project is to use the terrain to build a large reservoir near the pier to store fresh water. The purpose of this facility is not only to replenish the ships passing by, but also practical

In addition to fresh water, there is also a preparatory function, which is to provide fresh water supply for future steam-powered ships - those things need to consume much more fresh water to travel on the sea than the crew.
