In the second half of 1656, in addition to the construction of the two new micro hydropower stations, many other small and small projects were carried out in a timely manner. For example, the construction of factories and the leveling of plots in industrial zones.

The site of the joint chemical base and the steel base near the mouth of the Xiliu River was later determined, so the leveling work began one after another, as well as the planned construction of the sugar factory and the glass factory, although at the initial general meeting, the buildings of the two factories were not included in the work plan, but a group of science and engineering men finally asked to do it in advance, of course, considering the current physical load of the young people, the science and engineering men said that they would do it themselves and not need to trouble others.

However, as soon as this gesture came out, the young people who participated in the sailing training felt embarrassed.

In fact, later, everyone participated in the construction work, in short, the cooperation process was very united, very loving, very positive and even a little warm, and by the end of the year, most of the buildings of the two factories had been built.

Of course, one of the reasons is that these tasks are much easier than the production of brick and tile factories, the construction of flood dams, and the work of farming, and there is no construction period, and it can be done slowly in three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

Because of the self-produced cement, bricks and bamboo, the guarantee of building materials also made the construction of the two factories relatively smooth, and the grade of the whole building was also higher than the original brick and tile factory and cement factory.

Speaking at a plenary meeting at the end of August, Mr. Zhao said that if the construction of the plants can be completed in time, the equipment installation and trial operation of the two factories can be completed before the end of the summer, and then you can catch up with the sugarcane and sugar beet harvest in the first half of next year.

Mr. Zhao said on the spot that only in this way will it not affect everyone's overseas trade plan.

Probably the last sentence touched everyone more, a group of young people said that they wanted to participate in the construction of the plant, no matter how tired they were, they would participate, so Gu Jin and Li Sanduo also announced on the spot that according to the current training progress and everyone's learning situation, the first batch of trainees to go to sea for trial voyages may be advanced, so that our training should not drag the hindrance of overseas trade.

The trainees applauded when they heard this, and they all said, please Captain Gu to give us more training, as long as we can go to sea earlier, we are willing to pay for it.

So Gu Jin announced: In this way, the time for everyone to go to sea will be advanced to about March next year, and April at the latest, and the specific plan is after the harvest of sugarcane and sugar beets, before the sugar is produced.

Later, Gu Jin also announced that in view of the tight time, the trainees also actively asked to go to sea as soon as possible, so it was necessary to increase the training intensity for everyone, so he decided to take a little risk and try the navigation training program of "training while practicing" for everyone.

Captain Gu's specific training plan is: in about one to two months, strive to engage in three to four practical training voyages, the ship that goes to sea is the Pride, and the time to go to sea is about one month to one and a half months, so that each trainee can take turns to go to sea two to three times, and the cumulative sailing practice time is at least about two weeks.

According to Gu Jin's plan, after returning from the trial, the best of these trainees will go to the Pride as crew members, and the rest of the trainees will go to the Nicole to continue exercising, and it is estimated that the production of white sugar and glass mirrors should be almost completed during this time period, and then the official sea trade of the two ships will be completed, and then the training will continue during the voyage of the sea trade.

This is Captain Gu's plan of "training while practicing". That plenary meeting finally adopted Gu Jin's plan.

In the second half of 1656, in addition to the industrial construction projects, starting from May, the roads and sheds of the vegetable gardens and breeding farms were also comprehensively repaired, and the places where bricks and tiles should be used were basically used, and the roads that should be paved with cement were also hardened.

Although according to the standards of the old world, Hou Xianglin's so-called cement pavement quality has some problems, because the ratio of cement and sediment he engaged in does not meet the road standards of the old world.

However, no one complains about such concrete pavement, because these roads do not run heavy vehicles.

Everyone expects that for a long time in the future, these roads will run at most a four-wheeled carriage or something, so when Hou Xianglin proudly announced that this set of mud and water mixed standards will become the first set of "cement highway standards" in the new world, everyone also gave praise and encouragement.

It is a very cool thing to have the opportunity to formulate industrial standards for the new world, especially in the eyes of this group of industrial professionals, they all believe that they should have the opportunity to become the formulators of the "world standards" of the industry, so as to be recorded in the history of the development of science and technology in the new world.

In addition to the shed roads in the farm and vegetable garden, another project is to add two large biogas digesters, which are experimental and are intended to accumulate practical experience for future large-scale use.

Lao Zhu believes that in the future, it is imperative for us to build large-scale ranches, especially on the nearby islands of Sydney and Saifu.

Therefore, in order to make the island's daily life as self-sufficient as possible, the production of biogas from animal manure and various organic matter in pastures is a viable option, and now with homemade cement, these prospects are gradually being realized.

Another minor project worth mentioning is the renovation of a small concrete-floored square with a radius of 60 meters outside the gate of the Red Mansion, where rows of rudimentary bamboo chairs and tables made of cement and bricks have been built.

Obviously, this is a place for everyone to relax and enjoy the shade, but everyone has made it clear that the party of the fire pond club will continue to be held in the bamboo forest, because your party is too noisy, if you hold a discussion meeting in the small square, it will definitely be noisy so that the people in the building can't sleep, now it is not more than before, there are babies in the building, and the child's crying at night is also quite loud, which has had some impact on everyone's sleep, so please leave as far as you can if you can leave, don't quarrel anymore.

Fortunately, from the small square in front of the building, there are several red brick paths through the bamboo forest to the farmland in the distance, and at the junction of the bamboo forest and the farmland, there is still a plot of semi-saline land that has been made by the soil herbicide a while ago, where the gang of the fire pond club can make noise casually......

During this period in the second half of the year, the traversers increased the population again, and after the Xiaomi couple licked a son, the Gu Jin couple gave birth to a younger sister to Taotao, with a single name and a Luo character, and the nickname Yingying, which corresponds to the name Taotao.

And Mi Anfei and Yi Shanjing's son is called Xinsheng, although the name is rustic, but this is the first descendant of the traversers in the new world, the result of enthusiastic onlookers after the discussion, it is of great significance, and the name is not up to the Xiaomi couple.

Tao Tao has a younger sister, and everyone is happy for Captain Gu and his wife.

October 6th is the day of the full moon of the child, according to the practice of everyone in the early stage, this night Gu Jin and his wife set up a full moon wine in the restaurant to entertain guests.

Usually, the couple doesn't consume much supermarket supplies, and there are a lot of various cigarettes, alcohol, and candies under the couple's name, and this time they also took them out to entertain everyone, which naturally includes Taotao's share.

However, this made Tao Tao publicly complain at the banquet in the tone of a little adult, saying that this sister of mine will share her own family property in the future, originally I was an only daughter, and my parents' were mine, but now that the game is over, at least half of it will be divided!
