However, at present, the reclamation team is not able to support other places.

At this time, it was Lao Wang who poured cold water on everyone, and at the meeting, Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said on the spot that the biggest and most tiring work at present is to sort out the bamboo forest and the newly opened 200 acres of watered land, dig ditches, tidy up the ground, etc., and the vegetable garden also needs labor, in short, there is still a lot of work to be done by the reclamation team, and it is expected that it will take at least half a month.

Moreover, when the dry season is coming to an end, the main work is to try to grow some cash crops, especially sugarcane and sugar beet, on the 200 acres of newly cultivated land.

Therefore, the reclamation team will definitely need labor on this side, but during this period, especially when the bamboo forest part is completed, about a dozen people can be drawn to support you, and the rest will have to help me work in the fields. After the busy farming, most of the people can be mobilized to support the road construction team.

Then Lao Wang also emphasized that if there is an important agricultural season and the field management is too busy, it is still necessary to temporarily assign additional manpower to the field.

So please hold on to the road construction team a little longer, there is no way, now even Captain Gu Lao Ba, who is five years old, is digging a diversion ditch with iron on the ground, so, at least for now, you road construction team is also a young man, bear with it first.

Lao Wang also said that in general, the busiest thing on the side of reclamation and planting is before the rainy season, at least it does not conflict with your rainy season railway construction, and then you will be much more relaxed......

In short, the matter of asking the reclamation team to immediately support the road construction team was ultimately over.

In fact, everyone knows this point, so when Lao Wang said that he couldn't support it, everyone could only reluctantly admit it, and it didn't cause any complaints and arguments.

The only thing that sparked debate at the discussion was the question of whether the Moon River hydropower station should be built first or a brick and cement factory after the rainy season ends in February next year.

Many people think that the Moon River Hydropower Station should be built first, because the follow-up industrial construction needs electricity, while others agree with Mr. Zhao's opinion, that they should go to the brick and tile factory and cement factory first, and then build some small and micro hydropower and flood dam storage power generation nearby, and then build the Moon River Hydropower Station after accumulating some experience.

Although everyone knows that Kangda Wang Zhanwu Hou Xianglin and others are professionals, but after all, the Moon River Hydropower Station is a big project, just the dam is nearly 200 meters long, as well as the excavation of the diversion canal, the interception of river water, etc., such a large amount of work, for this group of traversers, they are still a group of beginners with theoretical and no practical experience, so although Hou Kangwang and others seem to be full of confidence, most of the people attending the meeting still feel that if they do not accumulate some experience and start rashly, they still have no bottom in their hearts after all.

In the end, conservative opinions prevailed, and the final resolution of the meeting was: the building materials project should be carried out quickly. Instead of the Moon River Hydropower Station, which seems to be a tall project.

Everyone generally believes that building materials are the industrial projects we need to start the most, and they are also the bottlenecks in various consumables, because no matter what industrial projects you want to do, you have to repair wharves, roads, three links and one level in the factory area, and there must be facilities such as factory buildings, right? Now we have neither excess cement, nor bricks and tiles, so only by establishing a self-sufficient building materials industrial system can we support subsequent industrial construction.

Therefore, there is no doubt that we should first go to the building materials industry, and then try to engage in the development of micro river and river hydropower after we have our own bricks and cement, and only after accumulating a certain amount of experience will we build the Moon River Hydropower Station.

In short, everyone finally decided to adopt this conservative strategy, and of course, the consequence of this was that other industrial projects had to be postponed.

Well, many industrialists have complained that they were still white-collar workers in the office before they crossed over, and now they can't predict how long they will be blue-collar workers on construction sites.

At this time, Sun Lao stretched out three fingers and said, It will take at least three years until we find a labor force that can replace you......

A sigh suddenly rang out in the venue.

But sigh to sigh, everyone also knows that this is something that must be experienced, the so-called endure all the hardships, in order to become a master, we are not born with a golden key in the mouth of a certain second and third generations, how to see the sun without experiencing wind and rain?

So the topic of the meeting moved on to the next one, and everyone began to discuss an industrial layout map shown by Cao Limei.

A four-page drawing paper hung on the whiteboard in the conference room, first explained by Cao Limei, and the first thing to discuss was the most conspicuous part of the map - a thick red line marked on the girl's map, which was the railway that everyone was currently building.

The railway starts from the Red Wharf, the starting point of the Red Hole Line, makes a gentle bend to the mouth of the Xiliu River, then extends west along the coastline to the northwest of the island, and then turns in a large arc again, and the railway returns to a tributary of the Xiliu River, where the pyrite mines are located.

Therefore, if the whole railway route is added to the Red Hole Line, it looks like an Arabic numeral 9 as a whole, so Cao Limei casually said that this railway is called No. 9 Railway, referred to as Line 9, with a total mileage of 60.1 kilometers.

For the name of Line 9, everyone doesn't mind, after all, Cao Limei gets up early and runs greedily to explore, every time she goes to a new place, she sees a hill and a river, she has to give a name, this is a wild place, there was no place name, everyone is very tired now, and there is no energy to complain, as for the place name or something, as long as it is not too out of line, then let her take it.

So many of the place names and river names taken by Cao Limei later became historical terms and were passed down, of course, this is a later story.

The Nine Lines depart from the cave to the southeast, roughly along the southern coast to the Red Wharf, and then extend northeast to the iron ore mines in the upper reaches of the Xiliu River, and then along the west bank of the main stream of the Xiliu River to the estuary area, Cao Limei pointed to the ore sites in the upper reaches of the river, saying that because the pyrite ore is not of high grade and the output is limited, it can only temporarily support the production of our chemical plants and steel plants in the early stage.

Obviously, our chemical and steel industries will have to rely on foreign raw material imports in the future, so we should choose another site to build an industrial city centered on the combined chemical industry and steel smelting, which I believe should be in the estuary area of the Xiliu River.

Cao Limei knocked on the whiteboard with a small wooden stick, and the sound woke up many drowsy people.

Then Cao Limei went on to say that there are several places where ports can be built, and they are far away from our living area, and the wind direction of this island is southeast and southwest all year round, and it is common sense to build a polluting industrial city in a place where it is downwind and downstream.

As for the building materials industry, considering the economy of large-scale raw material imports, we can only unconditionally choose the region close to the raw materials, that is, near the northern coastline west of the Xiliu River, which is why the railway will be extended all the way here.

Line 9 follows the coastline to the west to reach the White Cliff Coast---- which is the name of Cao Limei, because the topography of this coastline gradually rises, and the gray-white limestone cliffs rise less than a kilometer from the beach.

Cao Limei told Ms. Zhao that the distance from the mouth of the Xiliu River to the Baiya Coast is about five kilometers, and it is all sandy land of Pingchuan, which is a good place to establish a chemical base, and the railway will turn westward here, extending less than three kilometers along the coast, where the limestone veins begin.
