239 Brick and tile factory
Obviously, this controversy has finally risen to the level of the fundamental line and world outlook and attitude towards life, and no one can convince anyone in this state.
However, Zhu Beiguo was obviously not from the Sun and Moon faction, and after he pondered for a while, he said in a serious tone:
"Everyone, we should still be active, so that we will not go through a game in vain, right?"
Someone immediately nodded in agreement and said:
"That's right, anyway, I feel more and more now that Wei Hong's suggestion is a bit interesting, why don't we go to the bamboo forest in the evening to discuss a plan?"
"Why did you go to the bamboo forest?"
"Don't bother people."
"Humid ...... outside at night"
"Light a campfire and it's dry."
"By the way, bring some more food and drink!"
"Hey! Are you discussing military affairs or a picnic! ”
"Both! What's the matter! ”
"Okay, okay, don't fight, well, in short, Wei Hong's suggestion is good, as long as we hold Emperor Yongli in our hands, and then recruit forces from all sides and recruit immigrants from all directions......"
"Isn't it beautiful......
Probably because of the reason why everyone's thinking became clearer after the debate, after dinner that day, Li Junming synthesized the contents of the afternoon's chat and conversation, and then found Zhu Beiguo and Xu Zhi, and then pulled Wei Hong, Ren Ke and others to jointly write an official document, which was called "Thoughts on Making the Yongli Imperial Court My Use and How to Make Full Use of the Report on Overseas Chinese Immigrants in the Early Qing Dynasty Historical Stage (Draft)".
Because the origin of this report was a whimsical suggestion of Wei Hong, this document was later named "Wei Hong's Report".
Therefore, this manuscript, which was written by lawyer Li Junming at that time, with the participation of Zhu Beiguo, Xu Zhiren, Ke Wei Hong, and revised and copied by Xia Xiaoou, was very complicated, including some specific plans for how to collect Han immigrants, such as organizing a transport team and sending ships to the coasts of southeast and Guangxi to meet the fleeing migrants.
At first, only Sun Lao, Gu Jin and a few of them had read this report, and then it was shelved.
It was only later, with the development of the situation, that everyone realized that this document was very strategic and predictable, and it was of great milestone significance, that it was crowned the "Wei Hong Report" by later generations.
This manuscript has been stored in the data room on the fifth floor of the Red Mansion by Xia Xiaoou, who is in charge of the data room, and later, many precious historical materials of the traversers have been preserved there, which is a later story.
Aside from the lively discussions before the meeting, there was nothing new in the afternoon meeting, which was all about the consensus that had been reached before, and now it was just a matter of deciding on some concrete action steps.
The only change was that the Kangda dam project would be carried out ahead of schedule, and although Hou Xianglin said that the final decision would be made after carefully calculating the amount of steel and cement in the cave, it was clear that even if it had to be appropriated, it would be necessary to develop the water elevator on the Yimi River in advance.
The reason is very straightforward, people are really reluctant to dig coal.
The logic here is simple: if you want to build a brick and cement plant and put it into production, you need fuel, then you need to dig coal, but if there is hydropower instead, you can dig less coal or even no coal.
So everyone did not hesitate to choose to go to hydropower, even if they want to embezzle the cement to the Moon River Hydropower Station, obviously a while ago everyone was tired, digging coal This kind of work is no one wants to do more.
The meeting finally decided that after the completion of the railway finishing work, the first thing to do is to repair the brick kiln, Hou Xianglin said, the track kiln provided by Anna, the production efficiency is quite high, and the installation is not troublesome, the key is semi-mechanized equipment and technology, and everyone is not too tired to work.
The site of the brick kiln was finally determined at the end of the southeast remnant of the Baiya Coast, the southwest section of the No. 9 Railway Line, five kilometers west of the Xiliu River, which was the first specific industrial project site determined by everyone after listening carefully to Cao Limei's suggestion.
According to the specimens collected by Xiao Cao Meizi, there is not only clay laterite for burning bricks and tiles, but also a small amount of lignite seams, as well as coal gangue and stone coal from the Imi River Valley, which are all high-quality raw materials for brick and tile making.
In addition, there is a good quality kaolin nearby, which is a non-metallic mineral associated with the coal mines on the island.
Kaolin is a raw material for refractories, ceramics and various coatings, as a building materials graduate of Hou Xianglin, of course, knows the great significance of these mineral resources for the building materials industry, and immediately expressed his full agreement with Cao Limei's location.
Everyone saw that since the two experts had the same opinion, they naturally had nothing to say, and the matter was quickly settled.
Two days later, the brigade of construction machinery was transported by train to the area around the mouth of the Xiliu River, and everyone soon began to get busy on both sides of the railway on the southeast side of the White Cliff Coast.
First, a bulldozer carved an improvised road from the north side of the railway to the bottom of an unnamed dirt slope where the brick and tile factory site was located.
According to Xiaohou's plan, the first thing to be installed and built is a steel structure annular power brick kiln.
On the third day, a large number of containers loaded with various steel structures, refractory lining materials and refractory bricks were transported by tractors to the gate of the cave, where they were lifted into train wagons by trucks, and two Stephenson tank-type steam locomotives worked in turns, spraying thick black smoke, dragging four fully loaded carriages with a speed of nearly 35 kilometers per hour, running for nearly two hours, and finally transporting the equipment to the construction site 50 kilometers away.
At this time, bulldozers and rollers had already carved out a flat land with a radius of less than 100 meters under the soil slope, and not far from the soil slope, six excavators under the command of Cao Limei were digging there more than once.
There, red clay, kaolin, lignite, stone coal and gangue can be dug up in many places simply by peeling off the turf, and the stone crusher that the mechanical group had assembled earlier also came in handy at this time, and many of the coal blocks were crushed to be used as fuel for the power engine.
Between the factory and the mine, a road construction team, mainly young people, is sweating hard to build a simple feeder railway.
Three days later, another team began to build a simple flat-roofed greenhouse, a simple factory designed by Hou Xianglin, with steel scaffolding and fiberglass tiles in the cave as the main materials.
A while ago, some of the building materials brought from the old world were used in the construction of semi-underground warehouses, and there are still a lot left, but Hou Xianglin considered that there are many industrial projects to be built in the future, and the materials should be used as sparingly as possible, so this greenhouse is very simple.
The greenhouse, which is ventilated on all sides, will be used as a temporary building for the brick and tile factory's mud production line.
The subsequent project was carried out in an orderly manner step by step, it took three days to level the land of the main plant, and the equipment installation work took another week.
It turns out that these miniature devices that Anna selected for everyone, whether it is installation or commissioning, are indeed not too difficult.
However, the brick and tile factory cannot start construction at the moment, because there are still a lot of supporting facilities to be built.
In the following month, the construction of the micro hydropower station project and the aqueduct project began, which are necessary for the normal production of the brick and tile factory and the future cement plant.
The brick kiln mud production line and the burning of pulverized coal require a large amount of water, and it is not far from a southwest-northeast tributary of the Xiliu River, which is the Yimi River, which Cao Limei named after the two young couples with their respective surnames.
When the exploration team was exploring along the river, others walked on the shore, and the little couple was not afraid of the crocodile going into the water, and they played crazy all the way, and then forced Cao Limei to name the name of this small river Yimi River, saying that they wanted to live in seclusion here when they were old......
Well, this little couple is thinking quite far......
