After the enthusiasm of Long Qun's attention was gone, "when the big ship bought from Haijia set sail, it was already named "Qionghai Coal", pulled out cobalt, set sail, and moved to Haijia Wharf. The docks were already filled with building materials such as wood, masonry, and lime. This was all bought by Chen Tong according to Lin Qiaoguang's instructions. Intended for the construction of the pier.

Zhang Xingpei had secretly come to Qiongshan County a few days ago, and he brought a construction team with him. This team was taught by the traversers of Lingao Construction Company. In terms of its level, it is stronger than the rural construction contractor team that introduced the century. And they also took on skills that were not available in the construction contractor team to assemble wood-framed houses.

Zhang Xingpei studied architecture in the United States, and he has a great interest in the all-timber frame houses that are common in American homes. So a lot of effort has been put into this type of building. Most of these wooden houses are prefabricated parts, which are transported to the construction site and assembled on the foundation. An independent two-story wooden house building of more than 200 square meters can be completed in four or five days if the construction is fully implemented. Much faster than brick-laying beams. Once built, it can be put into use immediately without waiting for the cement mortar to dry.

Mei Wan, general manager of Lingao Construction Company, is very interested in this kind of building, and the executive committee has been asking the construction company to build houses as quickly as possible, if prefabricated houses are used. The speed of construction will become very fast. After several shiyans, Zhang Xingpei designed and finalized six types of houses. Lingao Construction Company has opened a prefabricated house processing plant to produce and reserve such prefabricated houses. You can set it up whenever you need it. It played a huge role in the construction of the refugee camp in the aftermath of the typhoon.

The man-powered crane on Qiong Haidie's board began to lift bundles of prefabricated wooden structures wrapped with straw ropes from the cargo hold, and then hoisted them onto the trestle, which was also prefabricated by the cargo ship of Gao Guang Shipping Co., Ltd. It took Zhang Xingpei less than five days to complete this neat and sturdy wooden plank road, and the planks of uniform width opened by the board opener were nailed tightly with wide-headed nails, and stepping on them was like walking on the ground. Two wrought iron rails were installed on the plank road to take into account the need to transport a large number of building materials in the present and the future transportation of coal. Housing prefabrications are unloaded onto flatbed trucks and pushed directly onto the yard on shore.

Cement and yellow sand were also lifted out of the cargo hold one by one. In order to speed up the construction and safety, Zhang Xingpei specially brought a type of cement mixer, which was driven by a small diesel engine. It was carefully placed in a well-built haode house and guarded by special people, so that the local indigenous workers hired would not make a fuss about it.

The indigenous workers employed by Chen Tong had earlier cleared and leveled the foundation at Zhang's request. The ground is mixed with lime and sand and tamped. Then the construction team of the construction company started to build the house. All prefabricated houses are elevated and have an overhanging bottom, eliminating the hassle of laying foundations.

With the help of a simple earth crane, the timber-framed houses were quickly erected one after another, and Zhang Xingpei was surprised by the speed. The houses all have an unsightly grayish-black color, which is the result of tar embalming.

The biggest problem with this type of house is that it is not resistant to typhoons, and a typhoon that sweeps over it will definitely collapse the house. However, Zhang Xingpei believes that this problem is not big, the typhoon season has passed, and according to Lingao's experience, the northwest of Hainan Island is not greatly affected by typhoons and will not suffer from wind disasters every year. When the situation stabilizes, it will be slowly replaced by masonry buildings.

A week later, Haijia Wharf had changed from a wasteland to a complete coal transportation wharf with a plank road, more than a dozen buildings of various kinds, an open-air pile of money of thousands of square meters, and three cranes. Indigenous workers hired locally then dug trenches around the entire wharf and built a wall of masonry. There are all kinds of fortifications such as the female wall and the enemy platform above. When it was completed, it became a fortress. This is not surprising in this plane, and it is completely natural for the Hai family to build a fort to protect their dock in such a remote place.

Zhang Xingpei also commanded people to build a three-story turret near the trestle. It is used to defend the pier. Defend against attacks from the sea.

After the wharf was completed, the four flat-bottomed traffic boats unloaded from Qionghai Butterfly were loaded with construction materials and began to sail up the Nandu River to the Jiazi Coal Mine.

The boat then set up a temporary wharf on the banks of the Nandu River. The first supplies were unloaded.

It turns out a little. Although Qiongshan County is a small prefecture, the law and order situation is also corrupt. As soon as the four flat-bottomed dinghys landed, they encountered a group of unclothed bandits, but fortunately there were plainclothes guards in the dinghy, and they shot down a few before they dispersed the crowd.

The flat-bottomed dinghy came and went again that day, bringing in more building materials, household supplies and guards.

The captain of the guard was Huang Xiong, the former Ming army invited Hua Shi Zhi Mini rifle, carrying a cowhide briefcase according to the content learned in the officer's speed, commanding his men to stand off the horse, dig a trench, and fortify the camp.

Such vigilance proved to be absolutely necessary, and suspicious figures continued to move around the camp that night and for several days and nights that followed. It was only because they were heavily guarded and feared by the power of firearms that no one was disturbed.

"The law and order situation in Qiongshan County is not good." Lin Qiaoguang also came to the temporary wharf, he sent Shan Daoqian and his road construction team to come. Qionghai Coal arrived in Haikou for the second time, bringing a large number of wooden rails, road spikes, gravel and road construction teams. Four more transport boats were added.

In order to facilitate mining and transportation, it is necessary to build a fort at each of the mining site and the Nandu River, and then connect the two places by rails.

Although laying about the same kilometre of track is a huge investment, if it is not laid, the efficiency of transportation will be miserable, whether it is human or animal power.

From the mining point to the riverside wharf, it is basically a flat river, the construction difficulty is very large, and there is a slope of more than ten degrees, and the heavy-duty mine truck can rely on gravity to slide to the riverside, which alone saves a lot of effort. Otherwise, the coal mine will have to spend effort to raise a large number of cattle.

"There won't be bandits here, will they?" Shan Daoqian was a little frightened. He had always organized construction in a peaceful place, and it was the first time he had to build a road in a place where someone was ready to cut and kill at any time.

"There must be, and there will be no less." Lin Qiaoguang warned him, "This place is a mountainous area, and the authority of the Ming government is useless. ”

"As soon as I came out of Lingao, I felt that the genius in the liberated area was bright." Shan Daoqian said.

"Actually, the bandits are okay to say, there is a protective gear team, I don't believe the bandits can still do the Minnie rifle. The key is to guard against the local mountain people. ”

"That's right." Shan Daoqian himself has participated in railway projects, and wherever every railway project goes, the wind of theft will be very prosperous, and theft, robbery, and extortion of project units are common things in road construction enterprises. The dictatorship of the proletariat in the century cannot be eradicated, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

"That's why this time I'm proposing to continue to use iron-clad wooden rails here, instead of wrought rails to lay this thing, and not to seduce a group of demolition teams. It's too late to build roads. ”

Lingao has already started to use wrought rails. Wooden rails are much inferior to rails in terms of bearing capacity and durability, but they can eliminate rail theft to the greatest extent. In Lingao, the punishment for theft of public property is severe, and six months in a labor camp is enough to be memorable for a lifetime.

"It's really troublesome. If you really kill someone, it will not be easy for us to clean up when the other party makes trouble to the government. Lin Qiaoguang said.

In Qiongshan County, there is no law enforcement power and no excessive use of force. Even if there is a Hai family as an umbrella, it is difficult to do this kind of thing that does not hold the public accountable. "I'm glad I don't have to be here." Shan Daoqian looked at Lin Yiguang with a little sympathy, "You have to work hard." ”

Lin Yiguang didn't make a sound, he was thinking about this problem.

The Executive Committee had to take a lot of effort to choose the head of the Jiazi Coal Mine, who had to know a little bit about mining, be able to make explosives, and have military skills enough to direct his subordinates to resist hostile acts that might be encountered at any time. This person's age should not be too young, lest he be impatient and impatient.

zuihou, Tang Menglong, who chose the service of the remote investigation team, is over thirty years old, and he can be called honest in age. He was born in a dry mine, his major is barely right, and he has been working in the field for a long time, so he can bear hardships and stand hard work, and his body is very healthy. He also knows a little martial arts, so he is a more suitable candidate.

However, this assignment was an unusually arduous one. Although the long-range reconnaissance team is hard, they can always come back to Gao to take a breath and enjoy modern life. This is not the same thing as being sent to the Orange Zone 1, which is defined by the Crossing Group, i.e., the more dangerous area in the enemy-occupied zone, second only to the Red Zone, where hostilities are at all times. Far from the base and partners, in a deserted mountainous area, directing hundreds of small indigenous coal mining, there is hardly any modern enjoyment, and this mental power alone must be very considerable.

Tang Menglong said that he was willing to accept the dispatch, but he asked that he must be given batteries and charging equipment, otherwise it would be too boring.

"No problem, that's as it should be." Xiao Zishan nodded again and again, "In addition, I will arrange a life secretary for you." ”

"Life Secretary?!" Tang Menglong has been talking about life secretary for more than half a year, except for a few people who have a secretary because of their work relationship, and then shamelessly accept it, no one has received this benefit. It seems that the executive committee is really sparing no expense in this coal mine. That's kind of interesting.
