Section 13 Xintian Duzhen

Ji Runzhi, director of the Planning and Construction Office of the Sanya Special Economic Zone, placed a folding table in the shed next to the cornerstone, which is also the site headquarters, and laid architectural planning drawings on it. A gas lamp illuminates the dimly lit shed.

Ji Yuan and Ji Shu were busy cleaning up in the shed, cleaning up the shed clean and tidy, which made Ji Runzhi feel very comfortable. It's good to have apprentices. In addition to not being able to meet his physical needs, these two apprentices served him meticulously, to the point where he immediately took the spitting paper as soon as he coughed.

Ji Runzhi is not the kind of person who likes to hide and tuck, the apprentice is so pleasing to him, he is quite attentive to teaching - although he is not interested in education......

Under his education, now the two apprentices have mastered simple topographic surveying and mapping, and learned simple cartography, and Ji Runzhi plans to focus on teaching them more professional content when the project developed in Sanya settles down a little. In the future, simple tasks will be directly handed over to them to do, and they don't have to do it themselves.

"Alright, you guys go out first." Ji Runzhi heard someone shouting and saluting in the distance outside, and knew that the main military and political leaders in Sanya were coming. This is where they are going to review Tian Du's architectural plans.

He walked out of the shed, and sure enough, from the station, the Meteor 2 was coming to a stop on the platform, and the laborers climbed onto the wagons to unload the goods on it. A group of patriarchs were coming down from the platform, and the sentries on the platform were saluting with their guns raised.

"You're good here." Xi Yaya was the first to get into his shed, and sat on the bench, "It's much better than my headquarters." ”

"It's all done by Ji Yuan and Ji Shu, and it's really good for the two children to work." Ji Runyi greeted the two apprentices who were waiting outside, "Go make a pot of tea." ”

"What kind of tea to make," Wang Luobin shook the tempered travel cup in his hand, "It's all your own, you can take care of them and get some boiling water." ”

Ji Shu brought two hot water bottles from the boiling water station, a high-end luxury that only the elders could enjoy, poured water for everyone, and turned on the switch of the gas lamp before withdrawing.

The shed was full of workers and vehicles on all sides, and it was very noisy. However, it does not affect the meetings in the shed. No one in the main military and political governors of Sanya cared about this, and they all gathered around Ji Runzhi, carefully looked at the family map he had just made Haode Tiandu, and listened to him talk about his planning ideas.

This once humid tropical valley will now house tens of thousands of miners and their families. Ji Runzhi not only had to make a layout plan for this emerging town, but also had to consider the future development.

The quality of the iron ore in Tiandu is very good, but the absolute reserves are limited. Judging from the huge demand for steel in the industry, the mining of Tiandoku will not continue for more than a generation, so it is necessary to plan from the beginning how to develop when the nearby minerals are exhausted.

From the perspective of urban development, the coast of Sanya Bay is a more suitable place to develop into a large-scale coastal city, which not only has enough coastline as a tourism resource, but also has enough sea salt production potential to support the development of a city. Moreover, the water of the Sanya River provides an abundant source of water for urban development.

In contrast, the development potential of Tiandu is limited, firstly, the area here is limited, and secondly, once the mineral products are exhausted, it will cause the decline of the town. Mining towns are generally seriously polluted, it is not easy to carry out industrial transformation, and a lot of environmental restoration work may be needed, so the sustainable development of Tiandu is not strong, as a necessary resource for the city - water reserves are not sufficient, and it is quite difficult to transform into other industrial towns.

Therefore, in the development plan of Sanya, Ji Runzhi only planned Tiandu as a highly functional mining town, without industrial zones and commercial zones. The town consists of only three parts: the administrative area of the mining company, the living area of the miners, and the industrial area of the mining industry. The latter is only a mechanical workshop that engages in mechanical repair for the mine, and also provides simple repair services for machinery and equipment in the entire Sanya area.

The water source of the city and the mining area will come from the small reservoir of the Tiandu River -- according to the exploration and inquiry of the hydrological data of the old time and space by Bai Guoshi and others, the water volume of the Tiandu River is the same as that of all the rivers in Hainan, and the difference between the dry and rainy seasons is very large, although the railway has now been built, there is no need to count on the river transportation of the Tiandu River, but the total amount of water used by the town itself for domestic use and the water used for mining industry is very large, and the traversal is also preparing to carry out some basic agricultural production in the vicinity of Tiandu. It is used to generate electricity, and the power generation of small hydropower is unbalanced, and the power generation is not enough, so it can only be used to enrich the lives of the elders.

The main source of energy for Tian Du is coal. The ships brought away the iron ore from Sanya and the coal on the return. Some were used directly to power steam engines, while others were used to make gas, which was used for lighting, cooking, and fueling small local industries.

"There are too few packages." Wang Luobin looked at his plan, "The scale of the business district is too small. He continued, "The miners will have wives and children in the future, where will these people be placed?" Excess labor should also be arranged...... Plan it the way you go, and it's a typical bachelor town. ”

"Exactly." Ji Runzhi explained his considerations, "...... There is no point in spending too much effort in this town, its development potential is limited, and the ore reserves of Tiandu are not too large. Therefore, it is enough for Tian Du to use it for twenty or thirty years. ”

"If this is the case, there will be no women and children in Tiandu Town in the future."

Ji Runzhi nodded: "In my opinion, it is best to be a labor camp type here, similar to Jiazi Coal Mine." Miners, administrative staff, and jishu personnel are all employed on a contract rotation system, and they are single. Work here for three or four years and then go home. The food is solved by the canteen, the individual does not open the unit, the logistics is socialized, the food, housing and transportation are all contracted by the Mining Bureau, the living service facilities are reduced to the minimum, and at most a few small restaurants, small hotels and other facilities are adjusted and adjusted, and then a stadium and a courtyard are built to let the miners vent when they are fine. ”

He went on to say; "There is also a Sanya city here, and miners can also go to Sanya City for recreation when they are resting. This can also promote the local tertiary industry. Anyway, if you have a train, it is very convenient to travel between the two places. ”

As for the role of Tian Du in the future, Ji Runzhi believes that after the ore is mined, it can be used as a military garrison and a land fortress to surround Yulin Port.

"Is it inhumane to force miners to be singles for a few years?" Zhuo Tianmin was worried.

"I said this is too militarized." Although the Qian Shui Association has set itself the goal of speaking as little as possible, it is disgusted by the social instinct of this militarized management.

"Doing so can maximize intensive management and reduce social costs." Ji Runzhi explained, "If they are asked to bring their families, we have to arrange for their families to be employed, and if they are not employed, it will be a waste of labor." With family members, they will definitely have to eat on their own. There is no minimum commercial circulation and supply of agricultural and sideline products here than Lingao. There is nothing here. ”

The greatest advantage of militarized management is that it is convenient to uniformize: food, clothing, tools...... Zuihou even women are uniformly rationed. The process is greatly simplified for the supply of goods.

"No, I don't think that's good. First, miners don't have a sense of belonging without a family. People come and go, and they can't stay. It's always just a labor camp -- we have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in developing a town, and we can't be as extravagant as the Americans and Russians. Second, women themselves are a labor resource, and it is not a burden for us to arrange for them to be employed. For example, the wood processing plant, the copra processing plant and the food factory in Sanya's development plan are ...... All of this requires a lot of manpower. There is no reason to force miners to use prostitutes to solve their physiological problems while bringing in labor from outside. Wang Luobin said, "Zuihou point: what we need most is the population, especially children. In this way, forced singleness wastes a large number of people of childbearing age. It is not good for the expansion of the population, especially the new generation. ”

Children born in the area controlled by the Crossing Group in recent years will be educated exactly as the Traveler wants, and in twenty years they will grow up to be the backbone of the indigenous people of the Crossing Nation.

"Well, I also think our top priority is to expand the population community in Sanya. Only in this way can a stable basis for rule be formed. He Fanghui agreed, "To put it mildly, there are no women and children here, and it may be difficult for the miners to fight to defend the mine." ”

Zuihou decided to expand the miners' living quarters appropriately, and the miners' houses were no longer just collective dormitories: a part of the dormitory buildings to accommodate family units was built. There has also been a corresponding increase in supporting facilities in the living quarters, with the addition of a primary school and a kindergarten. In addition to the commercial space of the cooperative, a part of the commercial space has also been reserved for the new merchants to open shops in the future.

As for the strict defense system originally planned and designed by Ji Runzhi, Xi Yaya felt that it was not necessary.

The defense system designed by Ji Runzhi is basically the same as the defense system in Sanya, with trenches and earth barriers. However, Xi Yaya believed that the defensive pressure of Tian Du was much less than that of Yulin Port, and that from Tian Du further inland was the Li District, and the level of force of the Li people was very average -- a nation that had to purchase all its iron weapons would suffer a great loss to fight. Moreover, judging from Hu Xun's confession, there were occasional sexual harassments by the Lebanese people, but there were very few large-scale armed assaults.

"If we want to fight, our thousands of military-trained miners' militia armed with standard spears and hard hats are enough to advance to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain."

"This is already the most simplified version of the defense, how else can it be simplified?" Ji Runzhi saw that his plans were denied one after another, and said very unhappily.

"Adopt the village model adopted by the German colonists when they marched eastward." Wang Luobin said, "Use the house itself as a fortification. ”

The specific method is to enclose the independent houses in a square or circular group, and the doors and windows of each house are opened to the central open space, and the walls facing the outside are not opened. The houses are connected to each other by walls made of wood or masonry. Only one fortified fortified gate is left for entry and exit.

"It's too basic." Ji Runzhi thought it was incredible, and he had seen this kind of practice - when he built a closed community, he directly closed the apartment buildings in the outermost ring of the community with brick walls.

This approach is almost the same to prevent thieves, to guard against armed enemies? Ji Runzhi felt completely unreliable.

This was the way in which German immigrants resisted the Slavs and extended the German lands from Swabia to the Oder River and into East Prussia. You have to know that their houses and walls are still made of wood. The Lebanese we were dealing with did not even have the level of armament of the Slavs, who at that time had iron weapons. ”

"In addition to the Li people, you should also consider the Ming army or pirates."

"If they have the ability to cross the mountains and cross the Li District, then they are not Ming troops or pirates." Xi Yaya was confident, "Even if they have the ability and perseverance, they can send reinforcements from Yulinbao to come by train for a maximum of thirty minutes." Twenty minutes of resistance from thousands of armed miners will always be possible, right? ”

"Actually, depending on your planning and architectural design," He Fang interjected, "most of the houses are brick buildings with more than two floors. The second floor is five or six meters high, right? The walls of Lingao are nothing more than that. In addition to the first floor does not open the window, the second floor and above can still be opened, at most add an iron shutter. ”

Zuihou decided to group all the houses and build a few more turrets in key locations as the core of the defense. A number of key militias were stationed in each turret. The office buildings of the administrative district are modeled after the public offices of Sanya. Zuihou dug a trench on the periphery of the entire town of Tianduku as a basic defense.

At the meeting, Xi Yaya put forward the concept of using armoured patrol vehicles on security issues. It is recommended to apply to Lingao for the construction of several flatbed rail cars equipped with single-cylinder diesel engines with nest steam engines or better ones, with simple protection installed on all sides of the car body, equipped with a typewriter, and the rail cars carry out regular patrols on the railroad tracks from Yulinbao to Tiandu, so that when the enemy attacks, they can rush to any place along the line as quickly as possible, and strike at the enemy with dense firepower.

"In terms of the level of the enemy in this time and space and the will to fight, I don't think there will be any enemy in South China who can still attack under the strafing of typewriters." Xi Ya is very confident.

In addition to being used as a mobile force to reinforce at any time, the ironclad patrol car is mainly used to carry out routine vigilance along the railway line. Xi Ya was not afraid that the enemy would want to do this, but he was worried that so many railroad tracks would not arouse the suspicion of the locals and lead to a large-scale wave of rail theft.
