Boss Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this, but his tone changed and he asked with some concern:

"Is the naturalization camp really coming? I've heard that there is a lot of opposition, mainly because we are worried that we will not be able to control such a large population. ”

"We know that we have different opinions, so this time only two types of people are transferred: young and middle-aged women in the naturalization camp - single, and the other is the couples who have children in the naturalization village, this part of the people is actually not much, that is, hundreds of people, these couples were originally engaged in the naturalization camp to make a match, this young year, basically have children, because these people have families and small children, plus we give a very good treatment, so this part of the people are easier to manage, very obedient, and work hard.

When these people come over, I plan to give you as many men as possible here and Xiaoquan Huali, and the women are mainly used by Huasheng Textile and Baisha Group, and they will be raised at the regular meeting of the Senate tomorrow night, and you can express your opinions......"

Lao Ba's words made Boss Luo very happy, he couldn't help patting the armrest of the chair, stood up and took steps, scratched his hair and said, if this is the case, I still have the opportunity to develop new products, Ba Lao, you are always an economic professional, what do you think of the flint oil lighter and glass cover gas lamp market in the new world?

"Of course, the prospects are great, but cost is key, if you can produce it on a large scale......"

Boss Luo said with a smile: Everything is ready only to the east wind - the process is very simple, the process is very standardized, and there are dozens of laborers......

Lao Ba and Luo Zhengyi left in a hurry after finishing business, he knew that Boss Luo's production task was heavy and time was tight, especially the machinery factory was about to start manufacturing steam locomotives and wagons, there was no problem in technology, but it would definitely take a lot of time and take up a lot of labor hours, not only that, but the machinery factory also had to undertake the manufacture of various equipment and process equipment proposed from time to time by the major places, as for the production of rails and vehicles for Zixia Island, it was even more of a task to line up to the back......

So Lao Ba didn't want to bother them more, drank a few sips of tea and left the factory gate, along the south bank of the Xiliu River all the way to ride, an hour later, a huge factory appeared in Lao Ba's field of vision - in the entire south bank of the Xiliu estuary one kilometer east and west, north and south two kilometers of the area, row upon row of more than 20 towers.

Lao Ba was well acquainted with these metal tower-like installations, and he participated in the construction of the combined chemical plant almost the entire time, where he used to sweat as a basic laborer.

Of course, although it is said to be a tall tower, in fact, if you don't count the base, its height is about the same as the cupola furnace of Holley's smelter, and the average height is no more than two floors, but there are so many metal towers standing here, the scene is a bit shocking.

Each tower and the greenhouse-style building next to it are a small center, around which various pipes – mostly metal and quite a bit of cement – extend from all directions to connect another small center to form a larger settlement.

It was obvious that there were at least seven or eight such settlements in this area, and Lao Bazhan looked around them in turn—near the Xiliu River bank was the Lian Soda Plant, adjacent to the downstream estuary area, there were sulfuric acid reactors and pyrite calciners, followed by the Coal Coking Plant, where there were several coal and coke retort furnaces and condensing units, followed by the hydrochloric acid reaction tower, and not far from the sea, the newly installed desalination plant.

A little further inland, there is a blast furnace and a large double-mountain greenhouse, which houses some large cabinets---- which are the arc nitric acid reactors, next to which three Stirling engines are running non-stop for power, and further south, next to the railway line 9, is the glass factory that has been built and operated for a long time.

It is the site of Zhao Xihe's White Sand Beach United Chemical Plant, which is bordered by the Xiliu River to the north and the Gulf of Carpentaria to the west, and the nearby beach is home to the famous high-quality quartz placer mines, and the rising smoke and vapour make this otherwise very deserted and quiet beach very noisy - the sound of pipe jets, air whistles and people's shouts come and go.

This is the largest and longest-lasting industrial project invested by the traversers in recent years, with only one purpose - to produce the basis of the entire industrial system, namely triacids and dialkalis and various basic organic chemical products.

In order to achieve this goal, all the traversers, whether as professionals or as basic labor, are fully committed to this major construction, and in the process of construction, both human resources and materials, they did not hesitate to lean here, and until now, this inclination has not stopped.

Most of the island's industrial resources are concentrated here, including electricity, and other industrial sectors such as metallurgy and mechanical processing are also in a cooperative posture, as long as it is needed by the joint chemical industry, the other departments will list it as a primary task to complete - because all the travelers know that the chemical industry is the basis of industrialization, the basis of development, and the basis of strength.

Therefore, there are currently a total of 260 apprentices in this factory, which is the factory with the most apprentices.

You must know that at present, all the apprentices on the island add up to more than 600 people, but there are some technical positions in the chemical industry that do not require heavy physical strength, and these positions are filled by the girls of Sunflower, so there are only a small half of the male apprentices in the Baisha Group.

Lao Ba rode his bicycle around the tower and the pipe, and from time to time he greeted some teenagers, he asked the teenagers the specific location of Mr. Zhao while greeting, and under the guidance of the teenagers, after turning a few corners, he finally saw Mr. Zhao.

At this time, he was directing a group of teenagers to install a row of pipes on the beach by the sea, Lao Ba knew that this was the finishing project of the seawater desalination plant, speaking of the golden thigh of seawater chemical industry, Zhao Xihe, Gui Xianning, and Qiao Xiaomu took them to build on this beach for nearly two years, and later there was a school, and many young people have been learning from them.

Mr. Zhao saw Ba Lao coming, immediately stopped what he was doing and walked up quickly, he told Ba Lao, this afternoon to try to run a new set of seawater desalination equipment, once successful, it is of great significance, in the future we can not only obtain refined edible salt on a large scale - its quality is enough to surpass the whole world, but also can obtain bromoiodine magnesium and other basic chemical raw materials......

At present, the three members of the original chemical group have a clear division of labor, Mr. Zhao is in charge and leads everyone to tackle scientific research and product development, while Qiao Xiaomu is taking the apprentices to preside over production in all the factories that have been officially put into production, busy with various production tasks.

It's just that today's situation is special and important, and Qiao Xiaomu is also here with a group of apprentices to help Teacher Zhao.

Mr. Zhao said to Lao Ba that when the finishing project of this stall is completed, Qiao Xiaomu will come over to take over, and then he will finish the renovation project of the pyrite calciner over there, so that the sulfuric acid problem will be completely solved - all our ammunition and explosives @ are inseparable from this chemical.
