469 To each his own help
Kang and Wang estimate that by early November, and perhaps mid-November at the latest, the finishing works on the inside and outside of the dam will be basically completed, and the diversion canal can be closed at that time, and the dam can enter the water storage stage.
The two predict that the Moon River Hydropower Station will be officially connected to the grid by the end of November.
At this point, most of the traversers have finally been liberated from all kinds of heavy physical labor, and most of them, except for going to various places to temporarily help to catch up with the work when they need to catch up with the schedule, most of the time they can usually do their own things.
It includes not only a variety of scientific research projects, but also a variety of training projects, in short, everyone can finally calm down and seriously consider their life plans, and plan to try to do what they are interested in.
Ten days after the fleet returned, Cao Limei and Xia Xiaoou gave birth to children one after another, I don't know why, the two of them seemed to have discussed, and the interval between deliveries was less than 12 hours, because the two pregnant women gave birth intensively, which could keep the doctors and several other ladies busy.
They each added a son to their small family.
Fortunately, this time everyone came prepared, and the preparations were also very thorough, and the celebration was very grand.
At this celebration party, Quan Yishan and Du Na and his wife officially announced that Du Na was pregnant, so the six people and the three couples then held a banquet together, the three families, including Quan Zhenhai, have contributed all the edible food, liquor and cigarettes in the supermarket materials under their respective names......
After this banquet, the whole island entered the stage of speed construction.
Although with the Han Chinese labor force, the travelers got rid of most of the heavy physical labor, but the people in the Red Mansion found that they have been getting busier and busier recently, and many people even felt that those who were transferred to hydropower stations and power transmission and transformation installation sites every day were more leisurely.
These people are just working for King Kang and the others, and the manual labor is not too tiring, and it doesn't take a lot of brains, and the work is relatively simple.
Of course, this is an illusion, and those people actually have times when they are tired, such as some earthworks of substation transmission lines, especially the need to erect dozens of power poles, which are by no means easy work.
Fortunately, considering that these works were critical to connecting the existing power grid, the Supreme Executive Council did not hesitate to use less and less fuel and sent various construction machinery to support them, so the fatigue of these people was much lighter than in the past.
The young crew of the traverser is another main force of labor in addition to the Han labor force.
Because there are still all kinds of daily and temporary production operations to be done, especially in the three factories of bricks, tiles, cement and glass, although the main force of the first two factories is already foreign labor, but the main force of the glass factory is still the crew of the sailing training shifts, in addition, there are a few hazy Han apprentices around them.
At present, the main producers of the glass factory are still traversers, for the simple reason that the production operations here are relatively high-tech, and the Han tenant slaves need a period of training before they can take up their posts.
In fact, even the rough work in the brick and tile factories and cement factories, those seemingly relatively simple equipment operations and various manual work also have technical content, and obviously they are not the kind that can be done without training, and the daily workload of these factories is already very large, and the production management work is also complicated, so it is obviously not possible to rely only on Hou Xianglin and the members of the chemical team to manage it.
Therefore, whenever Hou Xianglin and the people in the chemical industry group were a little too busy, they would always ask the Supreme Executive Committee to send them additional assistants, who of course did not do manual work, but were much more tiring than those who specialized in manual work - they were "training demonstrators".
So these people not only have to work, but also to teach those Han people to operate the equipment, although these Han people have been selected in advance, but these people are still difficult to get started quickly, plus language communication is also more difficult, such a job at the end of the day, everyone is tired enough, it is not as easy as the previous work by themselves.
Fortunately, the situation is slowly improving with the slow progress of the Han people.
In addition, mines need management personnel
The mines mainly refer to pyrite mining sites, limestone quarries and open-pit coal mines, because the construction machinery has been invested in other aspects, the specific mining operations have been undertaken by the Han labor, obviously the work here is much harder, but for the sake of giving a lot of silver plus the piece system, these original Han tenant slaves worked very hard.
There is no doubt that the mine is the hardest job, but fortunately, these veins on the island are shallow, especially limestone, which has a considerable degree of weathering and erosion, while the other veins are mainly excavated by plane stripping, so the mining operation is relatively easy.
In fact, the main workload of the Han labor force was crushing and transporting, large pieces of limestone and coal were broken into small pieces, loaded onto tricycles and transported to the railroad tracks, and then loaded onto an open wagon on a nearby railroad track, a branch line of less than two kilometers connected to the No. 9 railway line, which could directly reach the yards of the cement and brick factories.
Incidentally, with the exception of the crocodile crusher, which is basically powered by a Stirling engine, the rest of the work is done by manpower, including manpower pushing wagons on the tracks
Therefore, there are many management and commanders who need to be stationed on the site, and Hou Xianglin and they must not be able to take care of this, and at present, these jobs are all carried out by the crew members who have come down from the navigation training shift, at least for the time being.
So, what will the crew do when they go to sea in the future? The opinion of the Supreme Executive Committee is that we will talk about it when the time comes......
As long as the crew is at home, these jobs are basically followed up by them in shifts, unless they can't be arranged, and the men of science and engineering basically do not participate in this kind of "low value-added work".
After all, they have more important things to do, and at this moment, they are preparing for the development of their respective professional neighborhood industrial projects.
Therefore, at present, except for Hou Xianglin and the young people in the chemical engineering group, who have daily jobs, all the other science and engineering men have consciously devoted themselves to their professional neighborhoods.
With the arrival of the Han labor force, not only will we be liberated from the rough work of factories, mines, fields and pastures, but also we can see clearly, with the operation of the Moon River Hydropower Station and the opening of trade routes, in the foreseeable next one or two years, the supply bottleneck of the two major industrial energy sources - electricity and coal will be greatly eased, plus the supply of various primary industrial raw materials from the outside world will also continue to come. It means that everyone finally has the conditions to do their own business.
Each of them wants to be on their own professional projects as soon as possible, and they all want to develop their ambitions as soon as possible, and none of them wants to be bound by those "inefficient labor with low added value".
The Supreme Executive Council has also consciously responded to these consensus of the Polytechnic men in a timely manner through this arrangement of labor, and it is precisely because of this that the development of various research and industrial projects in the cave is currently progressing rapidly and fruitfully.
Of course, the development of industrial projects must also be carried out in an orderly manner, and just two days after the return of the fleet, the Supreme Executive Council announced in time that the various industrial sectors must submit a written feasibility report before developing their own professional neighborhood, which must be approved by the collective discussion of the relevant professionals and finally confirmed by a vote of the general assembly.
Because resources are still limited, the Supreme Executive Committee said that if these development reports are to be implemented, they must be prioritized for the projects that receive the most votes in favor at the plenary meeting.
In order to finalize the new industrial projects and scientifically arrange and rationally allocate labor, the Supreme Executive Committee held a plenary meeting on 6 October. The agenda was to discuss the work plan from now until the end of November.
