376 Southern Region
In a machine shop south of Irlanhill, workers are working hard to build a temporary factory building with freshly transported color steel plates.
Because of the mild climate in the southern region, there is no need to build a very good factory, and you can install machinery to organize production immediately.
Many of the Ellan Hill factories are actually semi-finished factories built in the cheapest and most convenient way.
These factories had only simple courtyard walls, and sometimes they were even fenced with barbed wire by the army, even if they had an outer wall. Then inside is a variety of functional machinery and equipment, from other factories to transfer some technical backbone, with some knowledge balls, you can open a branch factory with good production capacity.
With these branches, all kinds of production capacity of Ailanhill are increasing, and at least part of the production capacity can be allocated to civilian factories to improve the living standards of ordinary people in Ailanhil.
Countless such factories supported the Irranhill Empire. Especially in the southern region, most of the roads are average because the occupation has not been long yet.
Therefore, the work of transporting all kinds of military materials by road is very difficult, and the dispatch organization is very difficult.
As a result, the top management of Iran Hill has opened a number of weapons production plants in the southern region, which are mainly for tank spare parts, auto spare parts and ammunition.
These production plants shortened the supply distance from the rear to the front line, and allowed the 6th Army Group and the 13th Army Group to continue their offensive southward.
In fact, the Jesno Empire had been completely occupied by Irlanhill, and using some of the roads of the Palak Empire and airlifts, Irlanhill began to gradually industrialize the southern Dorson region, and even the northern part of the Esnoe Empire.
"I heard that the factory in Iran Hill was hiring, and I wanted to try it. I saw a job advertisement in the town, and the commission was very high. "A young man is begging his parents at home to try his luck in the factory.
Nowadays, many young people have become factory workers, and a few of them have brains, and even after using the knowledge ball, they have become the technical backbone of the factory, and the salary they can get every month is very eye-catching.
A young man named Ryder apprenticed for a month in the town's bullet factory, then rose to become a technical engineer in the workshop, and now has a salary of 10 gold coins a month, which is considered a very good kind of income in the local area.
"Look at how talented Ryder is, how like you, you know how to go out and fool around every day!" This is a phrase that the elders often say to the younger generations in the families of unemployed young people.
"If you learn a skill and become a worker in the future, you can at least eat with your mouth, right? Like someone Ryder! It's a lot of money in a month! "There are also many people who give examples to their children.
For a time, Ryder became a commoner idol in the Southland, representing a commoner who had no future in the old days, and was able to be reborn under the rule of Ellan Hill.
Although the monthly salary of 10 gold coins is already very shabby in areas such as Seris, in most areas of Dosen, where the economic development is not enough, it is already a high salary that many people dare not dream of.
In fact, in addition to all kinds of weapons and equipment, some factories in the south have also begun to produce more advanced production equipment.
For example, there are three factories in the south that put into operation at the same time for the pressure vessels needed by the chemical industry, and these large pressure vessels are actually very difficult to design.
"The workers we transferred from the factory in the north are very comprehensive, and according to the evaluation of the work director of the workshop, several people are very familiar with the two types of work, lathe and miller, which are at least equivalent to the level of third-level workers and above." An engineer reports to his supervisor on the technical results of the plant.
Modern technology, chemistry is also a vital part, and many aspects of products rely on chemical technology to achieve.
For example, this pressure vessel is an important equipment for the large-scale manufacture of chemical materials such as ethylene. This thing requires a very high safety factor because the inside is full of dangerous toxic substances.
Pressure vessel refers to the closed equipment that contains gas or liquid and carries a certain pressure, including storage and transportation vessels, reaction vessels, heat exchange vessels and separation vessels. According to the working pressure of the pressure vessel, the medium hazard surname and its role in production, the pressure vessel can be divided into three categories, of which the third category is the most demanding, and the first category is the least demanding.
"The drawings they brought from the North Pressure Vessel Factory, which are the latest vessel technology, and the chief engineer of the North Plant has also seen it, and it is definitely world-class." This engineer is full of confidence in the drawings in his hands.
However, his words made several technical engineers around him disagree. After all, the North Pressure Vessel Factory is indeed a good pressure vessel design and manufacturing factory, but it is not so accurate to say that it is world-class.
In fact, the ranking recognized within Ellan Hill is that Mayne Chemical Equipment Group has the best pressure, followed by the pressure vessels designed and manufactured by Higgs First Chemical Equipment Factory, and the third is the products of North Pressure Vessel Factory.
Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the world's leading even if it is not the world's first, after all, there is no country in the world that can produce pressure vessels for large-scale chemical equipment except for Iran Hill.
The huge pressure vessels erected in the hinterland of Irlanhill and the large ethylene projects of more than 100,000 tons are all proof of the modernization of the country's chemical production.
"Don't be careless! These projects are all national key projects, and they are all strategic investments and projects, and you can't make a mess! A well-dressed government official reminded his men.
This is an important layout for the southward movement of the industrial base of Irlanhill, and it is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor, so it is naturally necessary to implement it as a priority.
I only heard him open his mouth and continue: "Regarding the above factory construction documents, I have been thinking about it for a long time. We have abundant oil resources here, and the oilfield equipment is also being updated, so it is very ideal to set up a chemical equipment company and a chemical plant on site. ”
"We have a geographical advantage, as long as we don't pollute the environment and affect the surrounding agricultural projects, we will gradually form the ability of equipment manufacturing, and we will get financial support from above."
"Since we have the production drawings of the Class II pressure vessel so far and have obtained the production license, then we can build the chemical plant and the chemical equipment plant together at the same time!"
"Your Excellency the City Councillor...... That's not a small amount...... Can the people above agree? Before, it was always an agricultural area, not an industrial area! ”
"Not now, but later!" The city magistrate clenched his fists, hammered it into the palm of his other hand, and said firmly: "We can't back down!" During my tenure, I must build the backward place into the largest chemical base in Irlanhill! ”
It is easy for him to say this, in fact, the more advanced Class II pressure vessels require a lot of professional safety experimental data and professional welding tools.
Welding this kind of equipment, under normal circumstances, uses submerged arc welding equipment, which can also only be found in the Irlanhill Empire......
This is the strength of the modern industrial system: it may not be difficult to produce a piece of equipment, but it is not easy to assemble the production machinery for this equipment.
The people present were all engineers, so none of them were completely amateurs in industry. Hearing that his municipal magistrate was ambitious and wanted to do something big, he immediately kindly reminded: "The finite element analysis has been completed, and the supporting data has been calculated, otherwise this alone will be enough for us to work for a year." ”
The genius mathematician Fat Sandy of the Iran Hill Empire used computers to lead the team to verify calculations such as finite element analysis and applied this technology to production. This is also one of the main reasons why the puppet empire and other countries that copied the industrial technology of the Iran Hill Empire, and the second monk was confused.
The shortcomings in mathematics have caused the puppet empire to have a technological disadvantage - this disadvantage is very fatal, and there is no way to catch up with it in a short period of time......
Another engineer also let out a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, the automatic submerged arc welding machine purchased by our city from the north is still on the way......."
It wasn't that they poured cold water, because the troops were moving south to prepare for the war, and the roads in the entire Jesno and Dothan regions were temporarily requisitioned.
There are few railways in the first place, and they are still intermittent, so the train capacity is actually very limited. Most of the troops now heading south rely on automobiles, mules and horses, as well as air transport to provide logistical support.
As a result, many devices for commercial use are transported very slowly with the ordered goods. Many regions are waiting to use these equipment and parts, and to sell these goods, which has also seriously affected the speed of industrialization in the southern region.
In the last year, Ellen Hill's road construction team has grown eightfold! From 200,000 people, it has expanded to 1.6 million people in one go!
Such a huge scale is beyond the imagination of many people. Five years ago, the regular army of a powerful empire was about this size.
And now, there are 1.6 million workers in Iran Hill alone! What's even more terrifying is that these road construction teams are not simple strong men, but workers with real road construction ability!
Most of these workers were prisoners of war, ranging from ordinary non-mage soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire to captives of surrender from the Jesno region. Half of Iran Hill used and half of them were placed to find a job for them, which can be regarded as giving them the opportunity to support their families. So these workers worked day and night to lay two important railway lines for Iran Hill, north and south and east and west.
