When Cao Limei said this, there were already many people in the venue who were drowsy, so the girl had to speed up her speech and introduce it in more concise language.

“...... On the eastern slope of the White Cliff Coast, with laterite and kaolin on both sides of the road, you can build a brick and tile factory, and five kilometers further on, you will find the hinterland of the limestone veins, the middle and upper reaches of the Imi River, which is the ideal site for a cement plant.

The nearby Imi River can also provide a large amount of industrial water, and the downstream can also be used to generate electricity from the river......"

Well? Imi River?

Why the name?

What does it mean......

Probably because the name was a little strange, many people suddenly woke up at this time and immediately asked.

Cao Limei hurriedly explained that Yi Shanjing was in the exploration team with her a while ago, and she said that she would name the place, and now Xiaoyi is pregnant with a baby, which is a commemoration......

Well, although everyone is a little speechless about this, but for the sake of the children, so be it......

So Cao Limei continued to introduce that in addition to the resources and transportation conditions, because this area is far away from the upper reaches of the Moon River, there building materials and chemical industry will hardly pollute the water source of the Moon River, the climate of this archipelago throughout the year is the northwest wind and the southeast wind alternate, the location of the Red House is relative to the industrial base is the upwind position, so our living area will not be polluted.

The railway turns south at the cement plant and travels about 10 kilometers to the coal mine, from where it turns northeast and back to the pyrite mine.

Cao Limei explained that such a route arrangement can make the transportation of ore a coherent process, thereby reducing ineffective round-trips and improving transportation efficiency.

Everyone looked at the map for a long time, and felt that they couldn't say one, two, three, because except for a few industrial professionals, they heard all kinds of reasons for Cao Limei's words with a plausible look rather than a cloud and mountain fog, but everyone looked at the map from the map, this railway really drew an Arabic numeral "9" in the northwest of the island, and the girl called this railway the ninth railway is also quite vivid, well, that's it.

A few years later, a concrete highway was built parallel to the railway to connect the industrial city of the Red House to the Xiliu estuary area, which was also called Highway 9, and later, bustling towns appeared on both sides of Highway 9, and the most prosperous section of the highway became the name of Ninth Avenue, of course, this is a story for another time......

On August 9th, everyone once again devoted themselves to the busy and tiring work, as spring approached, the dry season of summer began to gradually go away, the construction period of the road construction team is getting tighter and tighter, and the demand for labor is becoming more and more urgent, in order to dispatch labor and engineering vehicles to the road construction team as soon as possible, Lao Wang considered that the field reclamation work has also been completed, and the main land consolidation and ditches have also been completed, so he reluctantly agreed to transfer out a road construction team of fifteen people ten days in advance, and then, Lao Wang announced a message that relieved everyone: this year's crop reclamation plan can basically only end here, including the bamboo land that has been planted in July, and now a total of 500 acres of land have been reclaimed, of which 200 acres are used to grow various crops.

Although the workload of land reclamation was saved, the crop planting of the 200 acres of land was put on the agenda, so the reclamation team still could not fully support the road construction team.

During these days, after carefully studying the elements of light, ground temperature and soil moisture content on the island, Lao Wang decided to start the sowing operation a month in advance.

After research, he believes that the climatic conditions here are quite good, and that experimental breeding of small quantities of seedlings has long been started in the vegetable garden, and apparently, most of them are not so "delicate" crop varieties.

From mid-March to now, Lao Wang has successfully cultivated many seedlings in the cave in the gradual vegetable garden, the most notable of which is sisal.

This is an important textile raw material, but also to make ropes and other daily necessities of the crop, before the crossing, Anna gave Lao Wang dozens of one-year sisal seedlings, after the crossing vegetable garden was just built, Lao Wang transplanted this cash crop to the experimental field.

In addition, soybeans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts and seeds of cassava that grows in the tropics were also transplanted.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lao Wang decided to expand the planting of the above crops on the newly reclaimed 200 acres of land, of which 80 acres of sissal, which has mature planting technology, easy growth and relatively large industrial production demand in the future.

And soybeans, potatoes, peanuts and sweet potatoes have a high economic value and are relatively easy to grow, so a variety of twenty acres.

In addition, it is also planned to plant 20 acres of sugarcane and sugar beet on a small scale.

Lao Wang also plans to start planting wheat and corn in the vegetable garden before the end of September, so that in the first year after the crossing, Lao Wang's side adds up to a total of nine crops officially put into the field, of course, there are some low-key small atmosphere trial crops are not counted, as for which ones, you know......

In short, according to the plan announced by Lao Wang, after the successful trial planting of the nine crops on the table in a small area, we should strive to achieve large-scale planting next year and produce economies of scale.

However, the starting point of all these plans is to catch up with the farming time, because all these planting plans must be completed before the rainy season arrives.

Obviously, the farming time waited for no one, and the remaining people of the reclamation team immediately began to go all out to grab the farming time, and the working hours were extended to fourteen hours a day, and in the following nearly a month, under the command and guidance of Lao Wang, everyone was very busy, and they were clearing the land and repairing the ditches and furrows, while making various preparations for planting seedlings.

At this time, the tractors and excavators of the reclamation team also operated in two shifts every day, from 6 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening, people and machines worked continuously endlessly, deep ploughing and meticulously cultivating ditches and digging ditches for nearly a month, and by the end of August, the 200 acres of land ready for sowing were finally all sorted.

Immediately afterwards, according to the needs of different crop planting, the land is maintained by water culvert, drainage, irrigation, flood irrigation, turning the land, treating seeds, and so on.

On the 10th of September, Lao Wang personally led a demonstration site to teach everyone to plant sisal, plant corn, teach everyone to cut sweet potato seedlings, sow potatoes and peanuts, and then sow soybean seeds on the ridges.

After nearly two months of hard work, after exhausting everyone and making the belly of most of the middle-aged uncles disappear, the reclamation team finally completed all the planting plans in late September.

At the end of September, a tropical cyclone from the north brought moisture, and then a thunderstorm formed over the distant islands with the dry air from the desert depths of the southern continent, and the southeast wind began to prevail in this area, and when the first spring rains fell on the drier and drier land of the island, the first spring after crossing to the New World finally arrived.

As far as the naked eye can see, all kinds of plants on the island begin to grow wildly, including a large area within a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers from the east of the Red House to the upper reaches of the Xiliu River.
