107 From exploration to metallurgy

As soon as Xiao Quange's proposal came out, it was immediately approved by everyone, and Hua Li said next to him:

"Yes, Brother Xiao Quan is right, the location of coal mines and iron mines found by geological exploration has a great impact on our industrial layout, this is a comprehensive system, and all industrial projects must be coordinated and laid out......"

"Everyone, listen to me, although I am a layman in industrial construction, I still feel that I must give you an important suggestion, that is: I think that the planning of industrial parks cannot be determined simply by the convenient transportation and resource location of the island, we should take a long-term view!

Is our industry confined to the barren mineral resources of this island? Apparently not! Our industry is ultimately oriented to the new world, so I believe that the layout of the industrial park can only consider two conditions: one is the first access condition, which is best built near the deep-water wharf. The second is not to pollute our rivers and land.

Therefore, a thorough survey of the island's hydrology and climate throughout the year should be carried out, and in any case the industrial park must be established downwind and sewerage away from our residential areas......"

"What Elder Sun said makes sense, this suggestion is far-sighted! Also, don't forget about agriculture and animal husbandry, which also needs to be planned. ”

"Wang Lao is right, I think the nearby islands should also be explored, if the fresh water resources allow, I would like to engage in grazing and breeding on those small islands, in this way, I can save a lot of effort to build wooden fences......

Zhu Cunxiang also nodded to Wang Dashi beside him in response.

"Yes, our chemical park should also be far away from the Red Mansion, I feel that the northeast coastline of this island is more suitable near the estuary of the rivers, which also seems to be downwind and watery, well, it seems that we should really go to the field for a field trip."

Zhao Xihe turned back to Sun Lao and said to the others.

"Hear Anna say there are coal mines and pyrite on the island?"

At this time, several young men from science and engineering at the next table also joined the discussion.

"Yes, but I heard Cao Limei say that taste is not good......"

"And the coal mine seems to be dominated by lignite."

"It's okay, it should be okay to engage in triacid and dialkali in the early stage, right?"

"Who knows......"

"I am a novice in this area, and I only did experiments on three acids and two bases in the school's chemistry laboratory."

"The problem is that the three acids and two bases made in the laboratory are completely different from industrial-scale manufacturing......

"Actually, I'm still quite worried, where do the raw materials come from? You can't rely on glass test tubes......"

"Uh, I suddenly remembered, what do we need refractory and acid-resistant materials and equipment?!"

"yes, that's a lot of stuff again!"

"There's more going on my side! When you visited the cave, you saw that we had a steel mill, right? ”

"Yes, the iron smelting furnace and the three-meter blast furnace are pretty good, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong!? And coking, big brother! ”

"Isn't it just coal, yes!"

"You all said lightly, can you go down the coal pit and carry coal?"

Everyone: "......"

Ay! This is engaged in industrial construction...... That's a lot of of all kinds......

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard Anna tell me that if these complete sets of equipment want to be really put into production, they have to be tossed for a while!"

"In the past, when I read a time travel novel, I thought that a big iron ship could be built with some tatters, but now that I think about it, it's not the same thing at all......

Many people in the crowd talked about it.

"We're well prepared for this crossing!"

"Even then, it takes a process ......"

"Everyone! Our industrial construction goals, in the end, depends on what kind of development level we want to achieve, if only to surpass the level of the era three hundred years ago, it should be easy to achieve, but if we want to cross over, let our development level reach the goal in your hearts, we need to coordinate action, it is not possible to fight separately. And, given the limited resources, we must adhere to the principle of sustainable development of our undertakings based on the conditions of socio-economic development after the time come.

To sum it up in one sentence: we must have self-sustaining power, we must develop sustainably and rely on our own conditions, and in the later stage of development, we cannot rely on the materials brought from the original time and space. ”

Engineer Wang Xue's words obviously resonated with everyone. This is the only consensus that everyone has reached after discussing it for so long.

"I'll report to you that I have tricky things on my side as well......"

A young man stood up and spoke.

"Xiao Fei, you are engaged in radio, and the resource consumption is not large, what is the trick?"

"First of all, the metallurgical industry has a lot of restrictions on my career, such as various types of magnets......"

Xiao Fei responded.

"This is indeed a problem, let's put it this way, we are engaged in metallurgy, and for a long time after the crossing, I am afraid that it will be the basic labor force."

Holley nodded in response at this time.

"Iron smelting blast furnace or something, even if it's miniature, without labor, everything is not to be discussed...... Alas......"

Quan Zhenhaihai sighed after speaking.

"So we support Ren Ke's idea, find a place where there are people and occupy it, and then ......"

The speaker was An Hengtong, a metallurgical technician of a former lead-zinc mine.

"Then we, the dozens of men, women, and children, will be caught up in endless wars, facing hostile locals all around us at every turn, and we will be in constant fear ......"

Then someone in the crowd coldly caught Xiao An's words.

"There is also the question of where to occupy, I suggest going to Dayuan Island, I heard that three hundred years ago, there were already a lot of Han people who were clearing the wasteland there, we can recruit them to work for us."

There were also specific suggestions from the crowd for this.

"If you can recruit them, why don't you recruit those Han people to work here?"

"Hey! Uprooted, thousands of miles away, do you recruit a try? Do you think you're here for America? Do other people have to smuggle them here? ”

"Anyway, it's a pair of contradictions, although I think it's worth trying......"

So everyone's topic was tilted to the side again, and at this time, several older people couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly, obviously this is a situation that often occurs when there is no topic to discuss freely, so Sun Lao stood up and said to everyone:

"Hey! Everyone, everyone, don't talk too far yet, what, Xiao Fei, you don't seem to have something to say just now, right? ”

"Huh? Uh, yes! That's right, so I think radio communication is of course the point, but now that I think about it, I have to take a break.

I plan to build a wired telephone first, even if it is a small cable broadcast, to connect the major industrial parks, docks, power stations and the Red House where we live, which is technically very simple.

As for radio communications, we will first use aid supplies and then go up when the conditions are ripe, what do you think of my development steps? ”

"Well, Xiao Fei's idea is really good, wired communication is indeed slightly easier to do than wireless, but this also needs metallurgical assistance, right? Otherwise, who will provide you with wires and stuff like that? ”

An Hengtong asked everyone.

"Yes, how did you get copper and aluminum wires? Don't talk about that, even if it's wire......"

"You ask Holley when they will make it?"

"It seems that metallurgy is the key ......"

"The problem is that metallurgy can't do anything without labor support......"

"These metal wires ...... Why don't we ask Anna to prepare one hundred and eighty tons for us? ”

"You know what you want, I ask you, what should you do when these things are consumed? What we need is industrial capacity! ”

“......”

"According to you, mold tools are still a big problem! There is no such thing as a woolly machinery industry! ”

"By the way, there are lubricants, coolants, etc., all of which you need!"

"Well, what, and the filter....."

"We are engaged in metallurgy, in addition to rolling steel, casting is also a must!"

"Hmm, it seems like casting should be easier, right?"

"It's not easy to cast, do you need a sand core? Sand moulding equipment is needed, right? How to solve the adhesive problem? I wish I hadn't seen anything like that in the cave......"

"It seems that it is really difficult to build a complete industrial system......

"Of course, even if it's miniature."

"Oh my god, my head is too big to think about!"

"I'm already dizzy!"
