To this end, Hou Xianglin and Cheng Dong made a proposal to the General Affairs Coordination Committee: I hope that the reclamation team can complete the bamboo planting task as soon as possible, so that we can free up labor to support the construction of the sleeper rails, so that we can even be sure that the entire railway will be opened to traffic early before the end of the rainy season early next year.

In that case, it will be just in time for the second dry season that is conducive to the construction of field industry.

Hou Xianglin Chengdong said that once the railway is completed, the transportation of industrial equipment and raw materials will be basically solved, and then from March next year, we will be able to officially enter the construction period of various industrial projects that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time.

At this time, Kangda and Wang Zhanwu jointly wrote a report to the General Affairs Coordination Committee, proposing to build a branch railway to the west side of the Red House on the east bank of the Moon River, where the Moon River Hydropower Station was selected, and proposing that the construction of the Moon River Hydropower Station start in March after the end of the rainy season next year, so that all industrial construction projects in the second half of next year will have energy security.

Hou Xianglin Chengdong and others immediately agreed, believing that the drawings, technical data, and materials for the construction of the hydropower station were ready-made, the dam site had already been selected, and the branch railway for transportation was less than one kilometer, and the construction was also very fast, so judging from the current conditions, the Moon River Hydropower Station could be started after the rainy season next year.

However, there are also different voices, Mr. Zhao and Boss Luo believe that we should first build a brick and tile factory and a cement factory, because our existing reinforced concrete is dedicated to the construction of the Moon River Hydropower Station, so all kinds of industrial construction in our plan, including the cascade hydropower development of the river, the flood dam storage power station and other energy projects, must be built by our own cement plant and brick factory to provide building materials.

Therefore, even if the Moon River Hydropower Station is completed and put into power generation, it still needs to build a brick and tile factory and a cement plant to provide building materials, so the above two factories should be our priority projects in March, not the Moon River Hydropower Station.

As for the problem of energy shortage, we can temporarily rely on the development of micro-hydropower in the Xiliu River.

Moreover, this will also accumulate engineering experience for the Moon River Hydropower Station, which is a multi-pronged solution.

At the same time, Cao Limei also took out an industrial layout plan and submitted it to the General Affairs Coordination Committee according to the exploration data at hand, and after receiving the suggestions from all parties and Cao Limei's planning report, Sun Lao felt that the matter was very important and believed that a plenary meeting must be convened for full discussion before making a final decision.

After communicating with each other, we finally decided to use our day off to hold a meeting on the morning of Sunday, August 8, in the conference room on the fifth floor.

The main topic of the meeting was the construction project after the completion of the railway project, and the work plan submitted by many people to the General Affairs Coordination Committee, including the reports of the mechanical group, the chemical group, the metallurgical group, and of course, the most striking of which was the report on the industrial layout that Cao Limei had recently worked hard to produce.

Obviously, none of these matters are trivial, so the final decision must be made only after everyone has fully expressed their opinions.

However, as soon as the meeting began, many topics that were not very related to industrial construction came one after another.

Because the day of the meeting happened to be the seventh day of the seventh month of the Year of the Sheep, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, it is the day when the Cowherd and Vega star divide the Milky Way, and look at each other from afar, and it is also the Daughter's Festival in Han culture.

On this day, Wang Xue, on behalf of the ladies, put forward a suggestion to all the traversers: the Lunar Tangram Festival is determined as our "Women's Day", the main purpose is to advocate equality between men and women, respect and love, in fact, this day is the day when women take a holiday to rest, men work and men give gifts to women to show their affection.

It is clear from the serious proposals and written reports of the ladies that they have been on this topic for a long time......

At 9 o'clock in the morning of 8 August, the plenary meeting was held on time in the conference room on the fifth floor.

At the meeting, Wang Gong solemnly pointed out that in the future, we will gradually integrate into this new world, but it is by no means a fusion without principles and bottom lines, we must not only integrate into this world, but also strive to change this world, we may not be able to change the world far away, but we should strive to change the world around us.

At the meeting, Wang Xue solemnly proposed that in this new world, we must maintain our philosophy, and we must not follow the trend to engage in the inferiority of men and women!

As soon as Wang Gong's words came out, many people immediately shook their heads slightly below, muttering in a low voice that this was the seventeenth century! Even if we don't discriminate against women, but women themselves discriminate against themselves, what can you do?

But Wang Xue seemed to have expected this attitude towards some people, and she immediately changed her tone to say to everyone that the process of history has proved that only when a group has a relatively advanced concept can it attract people's hearts, be cohesive, and change from weak to strong.

Then Xia Xiaoou sneered and said to the side, I know yours, some of you naturally agree with the equality of men and women, but you also fantasize about the harem three thousand, right? Man, you know! But don't forget, you won't have a daughter or something in this life? At that time, will you still be able to approach the topic of equality between men and women half-heartedly? You'd better ask yourself what kind of society you want your daughter to live in!

In the face of the suddenly silent venue, Wang Xue hurriedly said to everyone sincerely, the equality of men and women is in line with the most common universal principle in human nature - all people are created equal, don't forget that we have all signed the "Red Chamber Convention", so in the future, we should be obliged to speak for the other half of the human race in the new world - women!

Fortunately, Wang Gong's speech ended with everyone's applause, and in the end, the Women's Day matter was unanimously approved.

Of course, as for how to practice equality between men and women in reality, everyone consciously or unconsciously avoided in-depth discussions on this topic, as if the ladies did not continue to chase after the men who wanted to express their positions.

Obviously, there are high-ranking people in the ladies' pile, who are very cautious about this politically correct but very sensitive topic that concerns the fundamental interests of both sexes, and who know how to take a proper position, and it turns out that the ladies are playing the routine of boiling frogs in warm water step by step.

In any case, after a round of applause, the topic of Women's Day and the promotion of equality between men and women was naturally adopted and turned over in a peaceful atmosphere......

Then the meeting began to discuss the practical issue, which is also the second topic: when will the reclamation team finish the work in the field and join the road construction team.

First of all, Cheng Dong spoke, he said that in view of the age of the people in the reclamation team, they would not let the old brothers do heavy physical work such as repairing roadbeds and digging drainage ditches, but hoped to get the support of at least 20 people, and the main work was to assist in laying sleepers and railroad tracks.

In addition, Boss Luo also said that although there are two stone crushers in the stone yard on his side, they are actually quite tiring, and he hopes that someone will come to replace him, and if he can take turns to work, everyone's fatigue will be reduced.

However, Hou Xianglin immediately stressed that the current road construction team has a serious overdraft of the young people who are building the roadbed, and the current road construction team is now working from 8 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, and lunch and dinner are eaten on the construction site.

Regarding the situation of supporting the road construction team, everyone has no opinion, and they all said that they feel that the road construction team is a little too hard and must be supported, after all, the construction of the railway is related to next year's industrial construction project, and it is naturally the most important work.
