Chapter 2757

After everyone looked at the mountains for a long time and gave some pointers, they went down to the construction site by the river to check the construction status of the water diversion channel nearby.

When we arrived at the construction site, we could see that in addition to a large number of civilians working hard, there were also many large-scale construction machinery produced by Haihan put into use. The stone crushers, conveyor belts, winches and other equipment driven by steam engines were all in full swing.

Everything is available, and there is even a small crawler-type steam excavator. I don’t know how much effort it took to transport these big iron lumps into this remote mountain ravine.

Bai Letong sighed: "With so many construction machines, apart from improving construction efficiency, maintenance and repairs will also take a lot of time, right?"

Huang Zhichang responded from the side: "Sir Xiaobai, there are currently more than 20 mechanics, boilermakers, and operators here, including menial positions. They are divided into two shifts and work in rotation every day. Basically,

It can meet the needs of the project.”

The construction capacity of these mechanical equipment is far beyond that of human labor. The earth and stone excavated by a steam excavator with a bucket is enough for two strong men to dig with a hoe for most of the day. However, the cost of using these equipment is actually not low. In addition to

In addition to requiring a large amount of fuel and various wearing parts, there is also a cost that cannot be ignored in the professionals who use and maintain these equipment.

Before being sent to Jiande, these professionals had received training ranging from several months to several years. They possess professional knowledge that ordinary people do not have, and their value is far beyond that of civilians who can only export physical strength.

They are an extremely scarce human resource in the Donghai Region. Because of this, the treatment they enjoy is also extremely high, with wages that are dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary civilians.

As soon as Huang Zhichang finished speaking, the steam excavator suddenly went on strike, and then a worker came to ask Huang Zhichang to participate in the maintenance. Huang Zhichang did not dare to neglect, confessed to Bai Kesi, and trotted all the way to repair the machine.

Bai Kesi said: "In the future, more large-scale machinery and equipment will be shipped here to participate in project construction. The local government must try its best to cooperate with Huang Zhichang's work to ensure the normal use of these equipment."

Zhang He responded from the side: "These equipment are indeed very efficient, but they are extremely dependent on fuel supply. The coal shipped from Hangzhou is far from enough, so the locals have raised a lot of wood and charcoal as backup. Mr. Huang is here on weekdays.

Keep an eye on it, if the equipment breaks down, it can usually be repaired the same day."

Although Yanzhou does not have much cultivated land, it is rich in forest resources. Under the current unsatisfactory shipping conditions, wood and charcoal can be used as a supplement to the fuel required for steam engines. Of course, the task of repairing mechanical equipment is basically

I can't help at all, so I can only count on technical officials such as Huang Zhichang to solve the problem.

Fortunately, the failure did not last long, and Huang Zhichang didn't go there long before the excavator began to rumble again. Huang Zhichang came back and said that only one of the transmission gears on the machine was damaged, and the problem was solved by replacing spare parts.

In the blink of an eye, it was Xu time, and the sky had darkened. Three sirens sounded on the construction site, and it was finally time to get off work. However, Baikes and others did not return to the county town overnight. Instead, they set up a tent next to the construction site and wanted to stay here for the night.

Bai Kesi believes that only a half-day inspection is not enough. Tomorrow, we need to take another look at the local construction organization and management.

"Father, you haven't been camping in the wild for a long time, right?" Bai Letong handed the poured hot tea to Bai Kesi and asked with concern.

Bai Kesi smiled and said: "There have indeed been fewer in recent years. But this reminds me of when I first arrived in Victory Port. There was nothing there. We just lived in tents like now and slept in the open for several months."

Regarding the deeds of the time-traveling group in the early difficult years when they landed in Victory Port, the second-generation time-travelers will hear the stories from their parents when they were young. Bai Letong has long been accustomed to this kind of education about remembering the bitter and thinking about the sweet. Hearing the words is just

Just smile and give up.

Bai Kesi continued: "At that time, after a day's work, we returned to the tent so tired that we were about to fall apart, but we still liked to think about the future, thinking about taking over the world in a few decades. We must have good food and clothing every day and enjoy ourselves to the best of our ability.

Prosperity and wealth! But when this day comes, although physical labor is exempted, we are still extremely busy. We run around for government affairs every day and can't rest at all!"

Bai Letong said: "My father and other uncles and elders care about the world and are in their prime. How could they stop and rest so early?"

Bai Kesi waved his hand and said: "They are all half buried, and they are still so strong! I hope that people of your generation can grow up early and hand over the power to your hands. At least we old men can still enjoy a few years of happiness.

"

Bai Letong said hurriedly: "Father, you are serious! People of our generation are only in their early twenties, how can we take on such a big responsibility!"

Bai Kesi said: "Don't think you are still young. When we first arrived in Sanya, most people were only in their twenties and thirties. When Chen Yixin left Sanya to work hard, he was even younger than you are now.

How old are you? He was just a young boy at the time, but now he has become a feudal official. Therefore, whether you have the ability to hold power has nothing to do with your age."

Bai Letong secretly thought, people like Chen Yixin are not everywhere. There are so many talented people in his father's generation, how many people like Chen Yixin finally emerged? From an ordinary person to a feudal official, what is his path to success?

Ordinary people can imitate it. However, you can only criticize these ideas in your own mind. If you speak out, you will definitely be criticized.

At this time, Bai Letong still cannot fully understand the anxiety of his father's generation. Bai Kesi's generation came to this time and space with black technology that surpassed the times and the goal of conquering the world, but life is short. Even if they have extraordinary abilities, they still have to face it.

In view of the natural laws of birth, old age, illness and death, we must begin to prepare for the transfer of power.

All Bai Kesi can do is to educate his children with all his heart, pass on what he has learned, and let the next generation know how to rule and manage this huge empire. If the next generation fails to meet their own expectations,

, then how can he hand over the power in his hands with peace of mind.

So even though Bai Letong's major was not inherited from his father, but switched to literature and education, Bai Kesi still took him with him on this inspection trip. The purpose was not to let Bai Letong learn how to build hydropower stations, but to learn how to build hydropower stations.

We need to let him understand how many departments are required to coordinate and cooperate, how much resources are invested, and what benefits it will bring to the country once completed to realize such a large project.

It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only by seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it yourself can you keep this knowledge in your heart and put it into practical use.
