According to Gu Jin's original plan, during the spare time from the installation of the hydropower station pipeline to the plugging of the diversion canal for power generation, the crew should follow Captain Gu to call the Nicole and the Pride for internship, but now there must be no way, the daily training of the crew has been interrupted repeatedly, they either go to the construction site of the Xiliu River Estuary to build a factory, or go to the Red Wharf to install equipment, or go to various mines to open construction machinery, after all, these are "relatively technical" jobs, and those Han people from Sulu are difficult to compete.

Moreover, there are a lot of cultural classes and navigation theory classes for the crew in the evening, in short, so far, the import of external labor has come, but everyone is getting busier and harder.

Especially in October, Mr. Zhao's coal dry distillation production line entered the installation and implementation stage, which is a big project compared to other work.

Originally, the manual work in these projects should be supported by the Han labor force, and the chemical industry group was indeed in urgent need of these laborers, but a large amount of field management work on Lao Wang's side, especially the newly opened river bay fields, has now entered the last busy agricultural season, and for a time occupied almost all the labor force, so these industrial tycoons can only hope for this group of young people trained in navigation.

In those days, in addition to helping those professionals in the cave or construction site, their daily training was repeatedly interrupted, although this group of young people did not have to go to the construction site at the mouth of the Xiliu River to move bricks, nor did they have to go to the Red Wharf to dig the foundation, but they either went to various mines to drive construction machinery, or went to the machinery factory to give Boss Luo a hand, and even had to get on the steam locomotive to Cheng Dong as a co-driver, because these "more technical" jobs, those Han people from Sulu are often difficult to compete. Although all sides are stepping up to train them, it is clear that it will take a long time.

In short, all the crew, including Zhu Beiguo and Xu Zhi, have been transferred around, they run around like a firefighting team, and they appear wherever they are needed, basically after a day or two of navigation training, they will be transferred to a certain construction site to assault a certain engineering project.

But there are few complaints about this now, and everyone knows that from now until the beginning of December, everything will revolve around the trade of the Nicole and the Pride.

At that time, the fleet will be loaded with the fruits of everyone's labor to trade north, which is an epoch-making event and is related to the future of the entire crossing team, so everyone is working hard.

Obviously, this was a very tiring period, and it also reminded many travelers of the days when they first started to build on the island. Of course, after all, the work is different now, especially a group of science and engineering men, they know that what they are doing now is of great significance and has a great future, so everyone's morale is still very high.

In order to relieve everyone's busyness, Xia Xiaoou announced their spouses to the female students of Sunflower, before that, although the women knew that they already belonged to one of the men, they had never been on the right number, except for that Liu Sanniang.

The purpose of the announcement is to "open up visits", so that the men caught by lot in the Red Mansion can visit their future wives and cultivate their feelings by the way.

Visiting hours usually run from 9:30 p.m. to an hour and a half before 11 p.m.

So at this time, Sunflower Girls' College suddenly came with a large number of visitors.

In fact, since the official opening of Sunflower Girls' School, the young people in the Red Mansion who bought girls have not stopped going to school to see their girls in private.

After discussing with the ladies in the Red Mansion, it was decided that they would hide it and simply let it go, which would also reassure the women, and also strengthen management without affecting the school's teaching.

So Principal Xia ordered: Visits can be made every Tuesday and Thursday nights, and visits are open all day on Sundays, and of course, visitors must make an appointment with the principal's office.

However, it seems that everyone has a lot of opinions on this, and some people continue to complain about this one-size-fits-all approach, and finally under the repeated requests of these young people, Principal Xia Xiaoou had to announce a "free visiting time" - every Monday to Saturday, from 9:30 to 11 o'clock in the evening, Sundays are still allowed to visit all day, in addition, minors are not allowed to be taken out of the school gate alone.

The school also packed up a few rooms for visits, note that this is not a separate meeting, but a group visit, two rows of tables, four rows of chairs, five pairs of people at a time, the two can only talk across the table, at most pull small hands, but certainly can't do anything else.

After all, there were two smiling supervising teachers standing next to them: Principal Xia Xiaoou and Minor Girl Teacher Gu Taotao, obviously in such a situation in full view, there would definitely be nothing indescribable to happen.

Although the men and girls were embarrassed by the meeting at the beginning, even so, the men and women seemed to be happy, and later, the prospective couples let go, especially after some progress in language communication.

Although this way of visiting has made many people complain, saying that where is this looking at the wife? It's like a prison visit! However, everyone has to admit that for boys who are tired after a day's work, this is indeed a spice and a good way to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

For the girls in the sunflowers, they finally confirmed and saw their "husband" with their own eyes, their shyness was only for a moment, and instead of a sense of happiness, no matter what, the husbands in front of them are not crooked melons and cracked dates, in the eyes of women, they are all handsome teenagers.

It turns out that these girls from a jungle tribe or a village in a remote kingdom are actually a little more "open" than these boys, and before long, they will ask each other all kinds of strange questions in half-baked Chinese, and later, they will generously ask the men in front of them to bring them all kinds of things, from food to use, really real and direct, not at all as reserved and "virtuous" as the three Han girls.

Therefore, the boys never went empty-handed, and the gifts became bigger and bigger, until one time Wei Dongli found Xia Xiaoou, signed and took out some of the supermarket supplies under his name from her, and brought them to Liu Sanniang.

Then Xia Xiaoou immediately felt that it was time to put a stop to this bad atmosphere, because the women were very distracted during this time, and many of them are not good at class and do not work hard now, and they also compare whose husband gave something all day long, and for this reason, they also created various contradictions between classmates.

So after the discussion and approval of the plenary meeting, Principal Xia announced on the spot that before the girl's graduation, boys are prohibited from giving gifts other than food during the visiting time, and all those sent before will be kept in a centralized manner, and they will not be returned to the individual until the sister graduates.

As a result, all kinds of gifts that once made Liu Sanniang proud, including a full set of women's cosmetics, a dressing box, a large dressing table with a dressing mirror, and various women's dresses and underwear in her dormitory, were temporarily confiscated by the school, and the girls' dormitory finally returned to its former peace and simplicity......

Back in October, on October 15, with the full support of everyone, the coal dry distillation plant of the chemical group finally completed the infrastructure part, and the coal dry distillation production line entered the equipment installation stage.

At eight o'clock in the morning, all the construction machinery was started, and several large container containers were dragged out of the cave by tractors and then hoisted onto the railway flatbed wagons waiting there.

Two hours later, the only steam locomotive in the new world, the Stephen 0-4-0C water tank locomotive, slowly started after a long whistle, spewing gray-white smoke and steam.

A few minutes later, the locomotive dragged four fully loaded wagons and galloped along the No. 9 railway line at an average speed of 25 kilometers per hour, a scene that made the Han people working along the railway line just look up and continue to work, completely different from the amazement of the steam locomotive running on the tracks two months ago, when people were used to it.

"Zenith Star" - is the name of this water tank steam locomotive, it is said that Cheng Dong and Huang Hai gave this locomotive two people, at that time the two thought of many names, and other people also participated in it, but because there were too many names, the two made a difficult choice, and finally had to use the method of drawing lots to determine......
