215 Exploration, reclamation, and construction of railways
Subsequently, Zhao Xihe, Gui Xianning and Qiao Xiaomu also said that if the resources of limestone, coal and pyrite and halide on the island are clarified, we can rest assured that we can carry out the three-acid and two-alkali project.
At this time, Luo boss Huali and others also joined the ranks of the speakers, they believe that taking into account the actual needs of the present, must be revised to the specific exploration plan proposed by the sister, for the time being, always feel that we do not have to pave too big in the early stage, an important task in front of us is transportation construction, and the focus of transportation is railway construction, so the scope of exploration and exploration should be narrowed as much as possible, and exploration and mapping actions should be combined with railway construction.
According to the distribution map of the island's mineral resources obtained in advance, those minerals that were relatively important in the early stage of the business, such as coal, pyrite, lime and quartz sand, are mainly concentrated along the railway line in the northwest of the island, so the scope of exploration should be temporarily limited to the area south of the Xiliu River to the upper reaches of the Moon River.
"Agree with this suggestion."
"The focus is on the railway line, and other places will be postponed for the time being."
"Agreed!"
"Yes!"
"That's OK!"
"In that case, how about going to a vote?"
Elder Sun nodded in time and proposed.
"Let's vote!"
"That's it."
"Elder Sun, can you let us go back to sleep after the vote is over?"
"I'm so tired, I want to get some sleep......"
"yes......"
So in the approval of everyone and all kinds of drumming, Boss Luo's revised proposal was quickly voted and passed by the plenary meeting.
After the resolution was decided, Cao Limei, who was obviously well aware of this, came up with a rough exploration route plan on the spot:
It is planned to take a train from the cave, and after arriving at the Red Pier, first head north along a nearby small river and survey the river. Although the river is less than three kilometers long, it has a large drop and a rapid current, and it is one of the rivers recorded in Cao Limei's notebook that can build a flood dam to store energy and generate electricity.
The main reason is that this place is very close to the Red Wharf, and after the completion of the storage power station, it is easy to supply power to the wharf facilities.
After hearing this, Wang Xue immediately interjected and talked to Xiao Cao, because she planned to build the future shipyard near the Red Pier, and it would be a good thing if the power supply was convenient.
Cao Limei continued to say that after the completion of the river exploration, it will return to the Red Wharf and re-advance to the northeast for more than 40 kilometers to reach the mouth of the Xiliu River, along the way to complete the railway route, pyrite mining area, hydrological survey of the middle and upper reaches of the Xiliu River, determine the dam site for cascade hydropower development, and survey of quartz placer ore in the delicious area.
Once this work is done, it turns southwest and explores limestone areas along the coastline to a commanding point on the east bank of the Moon River.
According to the map, this place is a limestone rich production area, and then turn its head southeast to the hinterland of the east bank of the Moon River for more than ten kilometers, marking the lignite ore veins and a small number of coal mines that can be mined in a point shape---- which is commonly known as the mining point of the chicken nest mine.
So we should at least complete the exploration of these sites, and then the exploration team will return to the Red House along the upper Moon River, and the whole exploration activity is expected to take about half a month.
After listening to Cao Limei's introduction, everyone immediately began to vote on the plan, and in the end, it was unanimously approved.
Immediately afterwards, according to the voting results of the plenary meeting, the General Affairs Coordination Committee authorized Cao Limei to immediately select personnel to organize an exploration team, and appointed Cao Limei as the leader of the field exploration team.
The specific task is to survey the topography, hydrological and mining conditions along the railway to be built, and draw an accurate construction map of the railway direction.
Obviously, as a sister captain, there must be a deputy captain to carry the measuring equipment to the sister, this candidate is very important, after a serious discussion by everyone, in the end, everyone was very kind to recommend Mao Sui to recommend Zhu Beiguo to serve, after all, field exploration activities are hard, men and women are not tired of working together.
Since you Zhu Beiguo still call yourself a senior travel friend, then you can give full play to your strengths and give Xiao Cao sister a hand, this is everyone's kindness!
Zhu Beiguo accepted the appointment with great pleasure.
As for the members of the exploration team, they will be used as light bulbs throughout the whole process, no, of course, they will also be assistants, and they are currently scheduled to be four people, and their main task is to carry survey equipment and ensure the safety of the exploration team.
To this end, each person will be equipped with a Colt Python **** and fifty rounds of ammunition, the specific candidates are to be determined.
The General Committee decided to let everyone sign up voluntarily first, and then conduct live-fire training for the applicants, and select the top four from among the outstanding ones to participate.
Obviously, for military fans like Ren Kewei Hong, who are bent on leading troops to fight in the future, it doesn't matter whether the work of the exploration team members is hard or not, the allure of live-fire training is the real source of internal motivation, and as for physical fatigue or something, it suddenly becomes worthless in the face of this temptation.
At the meeting, it was also decided to send relevant professionals to participate in the exploration and mapping team in stages, for example, when surveying the river, one of Kangda or Wang Zhanwujiu will follow, when exploring the mouth of the Xiliu River, the chemical team will send people to participate, and Hou Xianglin will participate in the exploration of the limestone area, so as to determine the site of the cement plant and the brick and tile factory.
This was the end of the discussion on Cao Limei's exploration team, followed by speeches by Hou Xianglin, Lao Wang, and Cheng Dong, on the contents of burning wasteland, reclamation, and railway construction plans.
Hou Xianglin said that the current is the golden season for all kinds of field construction operations, and the agricultural season is the same as not to be missed, and the three suggested that the work of the entire dry season should be carried out in three parts at the same time:
First, the burning of the wasteland should continue, second, the railroad should be repaired as soon as possible, and the third is to seize the time to reclaim the land and level the land, so that according to Wang Lao's requirements, this year we can sow a crop before the rainy season arrives.
Hou Xianglin also added that at present, the burning of wasteland in many places is not thorough, especially along the surveying and mapping lines of the exploration team, so it is necessary to organize an engineering team to burn the wasteland and build roads to cooperate with and support the surveying and mapping operations of the exploration team, and one of the tasks of this team is to burn the wasteland along the route determined by the exploration team, and the burning team will burn wherever the exploration team goes.
At this time, Cheng Dong also stood up to express his support, and his suggestion was to continue to seize the time to build the railway, and strive to build the planned ring railway in this dry season, so that the next rainy season can strongly support everyone to carry out various industrial development work.
Therefore, in order to open the way for the subsequent construction of the railway and the industrial construction along the way, in addition to the wasteland burning team, a special road construction engineering team should be immediately formed to follow the railway construction.
Cheng Dong stressed that now we have a certain amount of experience in building railways, and if we are willing to invest a large number of construction machinery, the road construction project should be relatively smooth. Of course, the heaviest physical work is to build the roadbed, and both machinery and manpower must be used, so the road construction team needs at least 20 strong laborers in addition to construction machinery.
At this time, Lao Wang interjected to emphasize the urgency of reclamation, saying that at present, a large area of savanna east of the Red Mansion has been burned once, and it is estimated that there are about 3,000 acres, that is, an area of a little more than two square kilometers, which has been burned relatively thoroughly.
Therefore, this area is now very suitable for reclamation, of course, although it has been burned once, but it is the area that we have determined to reclaim, and it is also one of our main areas of activity in the future, so it needs to be cleaned up again by burning waste, which should not only ensure the cultivation of various crops, but also open up a relatively safe area for us, just like farms and vegetable gardens.
To this end, Lao Wang suggested that all tractors and key laborers should be immediately deployed to carry out reclamation operations.
