So everyone stopped a little, next to Lao Wang took advantage of the temporary silence of the venue, and hurriedly said, Sun Lao's proposal is good, taking advantage of the current farming, I really want to go to Timor Island, the latitude of Timor Island is much lower than ours here, because it is closer to the equator, so water, heat and other climatic conditions are better, if our sugarcane varieties are taken to Timor Island, although the unit sugar content may be a little less, but the yield is still estimated to be very large.

And there should be six months to mature harvest, in this way, plus the sugarcane we planted, both sides of the sugarcane planting, on average, the past two years of three seasons of sugarcane harvest will become two seasons a year, don't underestimate this change, therefore, we are likely to be able to balance the market peak and off-season!

In other words, the market supply of white sugar will be largely unaffected by the season, which will be a huge advantage for us!

"That's right! The seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite, isn't it just the right balance between the high and low seasons? ”

Everyone nodded yes.

At this time, Mr. Zhao also suddenly thought of something, and he immediately suggested, simply, how about we build a sugar factory in the new security tax area? In any case, the labor force there is also readily available, so that the sugar business can be quickly expanded and strengthened......

When everyone heard this, no one in the venue was finally discussing the ethereal religious issue, but was completely attracted by Teacher Zhao's suggestion.

"Nest! Is it really how to invest overseas early? ”

"That's an ambitious suggestion!"

"Generous!"

After everyone finished admiring, they calmed down and pondered, not to mention, Mr. Zhao's proposal is quite reliable, where the labor force is ready-made, and the sugarcane is also digested nearby......

"Yes, the distance is reduced by half, and the transportation cost to the north is much lower......"

Although everyone mainly liked this proposal, some people also raised a question:

"The problem is that we need to make another copy of the sugar factory equipment! Will this work? ”

So everyone turned their attention to the mechanical group again.

"Our mechanical team guarantees that we can replicate a set of sugar factory equipment within two months, of course, it is quite simple, of course, it is definitely more advanced than this era, of course, it is not as good as our current sugar factory, after all, it is the equipment of the old world. In short, please rest assured, if compared with the handicraft workshops of this era, the production efficiency is still dozens of floors higher. ”

Huang Hai, on behalf of the mechanical group, responded positively to everyone's concerns.

"However, the various chemical materials for sugar production still need to be done at home, Mr. Zhao, I suggest that some key chemical preparations related to product quality should be brought over at home, and Nicole should bring them over regularly......

At this time, Boss Luo also added slowly and methodically beside him.

"Is it a whole set of sugar factory equipment to be built?"

"With such a big chunk of sugar factory equipment, can you really make it quickly? Then I'll ask you to make me a few more mine rail cars and drag them like that, why? ”

Cao Limei's statement showed that she was somewhat dissatisfied with the work of the mechanical group.

"yes, are you guys really good?"

"Hey! Sister Cao is angry, haven't we been busy with the second-generation lathe recently, it's a big deal that we will start another generation of equipment immediately and build a few more for your old man. ”

Huang Hai hurriedly smiled and responded to Cao Limei.

"Don't forget, we haven't been idle for a while, tomorrow I'll take you to visit our machine shop outside the cave, two of which are already second-generation processing machines."

Boss Luo also sat on the chair and nodded, confirming Huang Hai's statement.

"Really? What about the chemical group? ”

"Teacher Zhao, we just heard that you have made a lot of progress recently, have you made a lot of progress recently?"

So Mr. Zhao stood up proudly and said that our coal coking plant has been fully completed, and at the same time, we have completed the installation of nitric acid and sulfuric acid production lines.

Therefore, we are sure that we can guarantee the demand for chemical materials in the sugar mill and glass factory, and we are now in the process of producing some lubricants and cutting fluids in small batches, although we do not dare to use them in the gold processing equipment brought by the old world in terms of quality, but there is no problem with the second belt general lathe of the mechanical group.

At this time, Boss Luo also followed Mr. Zhao's words and said, our side is really not a big problem, because there is no need to make all of them, most of them are to assemble some ready-made equipment in the cave in place, I have to say that some of the tooling of the sugar factory equipment has not yet entered the replication stage, but it will soon start, and the specific time should be the second half of the year.

So Zhao Xihe continued:

"In addition, there is another information to tell you, the quality of the saltpeter you just shipped back is very good, I heard that it came from the mainland? Well, although there are not many of them, but if they are used only for the development of ammunition for flintlock guns, then it will be enough, so the next step will be the construction of our micro triacid-dialkali complex. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao stood up and said solemnly:

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the chemical group, I hereby announce that the modern chemical industry of the new world will officially start in an all-round way this year, and our entire chemical system - the chemical production consortium with coal coking plant, acid-alkali complex and seawater chemical industry as the core, will strive to be officially put into joint trial production at the end of December this year or before the first half of next year, and then, the large-scale production of three acids and two alkalis, related organic chemical derivatives and coal coke chemical products as the main varieties will become a reality in the next three to five years!

Next, our task can be boiled down to two simple words: copy! In cooperation with other industrial sectors, we will carry out a continuous replication operation and aim to fully localize all the equipment for the chemical industry within five to ten years! ”

All the participants immediately gave Mr. Zhao a warm applause......

After Mr. Zhao's speech, Wang Xue also got up to speak, she said that she plans to start using our first slipway after the end of the dry season this year, which is a reinforced concrete slipway, as you can see, the current winch has been completed and put into use, the transmission line of the Blue Green Creek Hydropower Station Kangda They are also seizing the time to extend to the red wharf, and it is expected that this work can be completed in two months.

"All this means ......"

Wang Xue paused at this point, looked around the venue, and saw that everyone was quietly looking at her and waiting for the next step, so she said word by word:

"We'll soon be able to DIY Pride's sister ship out of the ship's steel in the cave! That said, it's reasonable to expect that we might be able to assemble a second Pride by the end of next year!

This will be our first Pride sister ship, and from then on, I will be able to assemble one every six months or even four months, as long as I have enough labor, which is a conservative estimate, and at this rate of assembly, we will have seven Pride class sailing boats in three years! ”

"Three years?"

"Three years!"

"Before the end of 1660?"

"Yes! Just give me fifty strong laborers who can work on the slipway all year round. ”

Wang Gong smiled and nodded in response.

"Great!"

"There will be seven captains among us!"

"I'm going to be the man of One Piece!"

"Dominate the ocean!"

"Let us fly our flag in every port of the South Seas!"

The crew members were immediately excited when they heard this, after all, this meant that at least seven captains, seven first mates, and an equal number of boatswain gunslingers and chief engineers were needed, and of course, except for the last one, which seemed to be quite attractive.

At this time, Wang Gong looked at the excited crew members, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then added with a smile:

"Everyone! In three years' time, when we have completed this major project, I hope that when the time comes, we will be able to carry out a new ship construction plan that I have been thinking about for a long time, and note that this time it will no longer be assembled, but a new generation of armed merchant ships built entirely on our own scientific and technological and industrial strength, and at that time, I hope that all the crew members here, each of you will be qualified and experienced to take up the position of captain of a ship......"

When Wang Xue said this, she was immediately overwhelmed by the warm applause in the audience, and the most energetic applause was the group of young crew members......

So, Captain Gu got up while the iron was hot and announced, officially informing the crew that the daily sailing training will resume from the day after tomorrow, considering that the Nicole has temporarily stopped sailing due to fuel supply problems, so all the crew will be divided into three shifts, each class of eighteen to twenty people, every day on the Pride for intensive training!

Well, the crew knew that it seemed that they could only rest for one more day, and then it would be time to be tired again, but despite this, the young crew still firmly stated that such tiredness was worth it, our suffering would not be in vain, and according to such a shipbuilding schedule, our ideals across the world finally began to enter the implementation stage!
