The weapon Huaizhen was not in the temporary camp, and Huang Xiong was full of praise for the net force measurement and removal of the wooden box, "It's much stronger than the first generation." ”

The box, manufactured according to uniform standards, contained a "second-generation standard spear", which was specially designed to arm local irregular armed groups across the group. The triangular steel spearhead treated with a modern heat treatment process is coated with a protective layer of "hell oil", which is a grease made from the black residue left over from refining coconut oil, zuihou, and used for industrial lubrication and rust prevention.

The spear shaft is made of a car, has been treated with anti-corrosion, is tough, and can be immortalized for years without the need for smoke. This standard spear was specially made for the militia, and it was too much of a luxury to equip them all with mini rifles.

300 standard spears and 300 machetes. Each person has two rattan helmets, one is used when working, and one is a new product with steel reinforcing beams on the top and sides, which can be used during war. This is also the only protective gear for the miner--militia. Of course, with the current processing capacity of the machine factory, it is easy to manufacture high-grade armor such as chain mail and plate early in batches, but it is just a bit wasteful. Someone proposed to make cotton armor, but the militia who distributed it on Hainan Island would rather go into battle shirtless. Some people also proposed a European-style simple protective gear: use a cross-shaped belt to fix the front and rear heart guards, shoulder armor, etc.

Zuihou: All of these plans were rejected. Since the regular army does not need protective armor at the moment, the militia is even less necessary.

Before the miners came, they had already passed through Wei Aiwen's basic army in the inspection camp, and they had basic organization and discipline.

They were organized according to the establishment of the army, and they were also divided into squads and platoon companies. The operation is carried out in squads. One of the main tasks of the Yellow Bear is to train it so that it can master basic white-knuckle combat skills and simple tactical coordination. A self-defense system with infantry platoon as the core and militia as the auxiliary should be formed.

Long-range weapons, the crossing group did not bother to deploy, for the enemy that may be encountered in Qiongshan, there are thirty mini rifles enough to block at a long distance. Huang Xiong didn't even think he needed a rifle.

"There are these 400 men, so it is good to practice a soldier, and it is not a problem to take the Qiongzhou Mansion with a rifle and a machete." Huang Xiong bragged, "A few small thieves in the vicinity came to sacrifice their knives." "He's kind of eager to take the plunge.

"Take Qiongzhou Mansion?" Tang Menglong was deeply skeptical. There are more than 2,000 soldiers in Baisha in Qiongzhou Prefecture, no more than a few hundred guards in various counties.

"Of course." The yellow bear face does not change color. After he voted for the Australians. Accepted the officer training, deeply fell into the poison of "discipline and organizational omnipotence", and was full of contempt for the Ming army, and even the Jianyu, who was afraid of it back then, felt that it was no problem.

"Chief, look at it, you will become an elite soldier within three months!" The yellow bear patted his chest. "I still have to point to them to open a mine for me, and you can only find spare time for military training." Tang Menglong hurriedly declared.

Coal mining is a hard work, and after a day's work, you have to practice, and I am afraid that the miners will rebel. If you don't practice, these 400 people will be a rabble, no matter how big the yellow bear bull blows, if you really want to come to seven or eight hundred bandits, thirty rifles may not be enough.

Zuihou agreed to take one day off every six days for each miner shift. Half of the day is devoted to drills and half a day of rest.

Four hundred, the coal miners now play the role of construction workers, under the command of Zhang Xingpei and Shan Daoqian, building camps and roads, although there are no construction machinery, but they have an endless supply of black powder and durable tools, and the most time-consuming and labor-intensive earthwork excavation work is much less work.

In fact, Xu Yingjie of the Ministry of Chemical Industry almost killed him several times, blew up the shiyan room three or four times, and jumped into the explosion-proof ditch several times, and then completed the trial production of nitroglycerin, all thanks to the dried coconut transported back from Yulinbao. The different grades of coconut oil, first cold-pressed and then hot-pressed, now meet the supply of edible oils and fats and part of the industrial needs of the group. Glycerin, a basic chemical raw material with a wide range of uses, was used as Shiyan explosives as soon as it was mass-produced, nitroglycerin was too dangerous as a military explosive, and civilian explosives for mining were still quite easy to use.

Xu Yingjie used diatomaceous earth to adsorb nitroglycerin. A relatively safe block of glycerin explosives was made. However, the Navy refused to transport it on board, and the safety of this thing was relative.

Large timber-framed houses could not fit on prefabricated transport boats, they were loaded on rafts towed by transport boats. Zhang Xingpei's construction team completed the construction of the wharf of the Jiazi Media Mine in less than three days, but the fortification project had not yet begun, and they simply dug a trench and planted it with standard defensive bamboo sticks made by Lingao. They are not cut by hand, but are manufactured in batches on machines in woodworking factories, and are also machine-fried and embalmed.

The executive committee will build Jiazi Coal right right in the mining field and Hongmu sub-pre-organizational form, equipment training, housing order management. Therefore, although the scale of Jiazi Coal Mine is small and its importance is average, the treatment it enjoys is the same as that of Tian Du and Hongji in the future.

The new products used by the Industrial Energy Commission in the project are: modular prefabricated trestle, ship-mounted pile driver, shallow draft inland river transport boat, mobile complete kitchen equipment, movable Lancashire boiler, large-scale water purification equipment, the second generation of "grass series" ready-to-eat rations, "martial arts, work" dual-purpose helmets, the second generation of militia spears, and standardized defensive bamboo sticks. Originally, it was planned to use steam engine power to drive the new prototype shearer, but after a little calculation, the Industrial Energy Commission found that mechanical mining was too wasteful. In the case of today's manpower mining, the so-called 400 miners are actually a general term, of which about 200 auxiliary personnel are to be removed, including sailors who maintain the tracks, load and unload coal concubines, guard the docks, and operate traffic boats. Even if there are only 200 people mining, each miner class has a catty. The quota of the service is couple tons. The daily output is ugly tons. If a shearer is used, the daily output can easily be exceeded. Ton. There is simply no way to transport so much coal by transport boat.

Without the use of mechanical mining, the boilers transported mainly provide living services. This includes pumping, draining, steaming rice and providing hot water for bathing. The Ministry of Health reminded Tang Menglong to do a good job of personal hygiene for miners. The Ministry of Health has also assigned a health worker to the Jiazidie mine to undertake health care tasks.

The construction project was completed quickly, and it took a long time to install the rails, not because the construction was slow, but because it had to wait for the necessary materials to be transported from Qionghai coal. Huang Xiong has long been familiar with the extravagance of Australians, but when he saw that even the tracks and sleepers for repairing the "iron ladder", and even the gravel for laying the roadbed were brought from Lingao, he was really amazed. But for Shan Daoqian and others, this is much more efficient and can ensure the quality of the material. If the stone is quarried near the construction site, there is no crusher, and the stone blasted with gunpowder has to be broken by manpower, and the size of the crushed stone may not be appropriate; As for collecting wood on the spot as sleepers, it cannot be treated with anti-corrosion, which affects the service life. Now, it is nothing more than Qionghai Coal to run a few more times and spend more manpower to turn around for loading and unloading.

The construction of the Jiazi Coal Mine took less than a month, and with the help of the power of gunpowder, even the mining face was opened, and the coal seam here is very shallow.

According to Tang Menglong's guidance, Panda directly used the blast to break away from part of the surface.

He surveyed the local media resources on the spot. It is generally believed that this is the continuation zone of the Haikou Changchang Butterfly Mine in modern time and space, and the coal seam has five to six layers, of which the first layer is relatively shallow and close, and most of the reserves can be mined in the open pit. However, the reserves are not large, and the reserves that can be mined in the open pit are about 2 million tons.

Tang Menglong ordered the transfer of some famous miners to carry out a shiyan sharp ground mining. The same as in the data: the type of coal here is lignite, which is urgently needed by the steel industry.

However, the proportion of coal coagulant is quite high, and Tang Menglong sampled and analyzed the proportion of coal coccal and other inferior coal from a batch of mined coal, and the proportion of coal coccal and other inferior coal was as high as above. Coal and stone can also be used as fuel boilers, and the rest is brown butterflies, but this lignite is much better than the brown butterflies mined in Nanbao by the crossing group, most of the lignite in Nanbao is earthy brown butterflies, not to mention coking, and even when it is fuel, the calorific value is too low. It is mainly used as fertilizer for the Committee of Agriculture. The place is dominated by dark brown media, which can barely be used for coking, which is better than nothing.

This is not surprising to him, and Hainan's coal mines themselves are characterized by this feature. Changchang Coal Mine claims to have proven reserves of 10,000 tons, but the actual lignite is only 10,000 tons, and most of it is coal with low calorific value such as coal stone.

Anyway, Lingao already has a coal preparation plant, and it can be used after screening. However, in this case, the Jiazi Coal Mine must provide sufficient raw coal to meet the needs of the steel industry, after all, only four tons of ten tons can be used.

"It's a pity that there are no haode-like coal mines in Hainan and Guangdong." Tang Menglong was a little regretful.

Thankfully, there's a bit of a consolation prize here, and there is a symbiosis of kaolin, clay and peat near the lignite mine. They are all useful minerals. It's a pity that the capacity is too poor. Digest it in situ and have nowhere to go.

It is very ineffective to transport coal by transport boat, and this thing is only five or six tons when fully loaded. Even if the shuttle does not stop for a day, 200 tons of coal cannot be transported, and the coal has to wait slowly for the goods at the Haijia wharf to be found, and it will take several days for Qionghai Coal to gather a shipload of coal. Not to mention transporting these symbiotic minerals.

In terms of the natural navigation conditions of the southern river crossing, this kind of flat-bottomed traffic boat has reached the limit of the ability of Bopu Shipyard to design and manufacture shallow draft heavy-duty ships. Now that's the only way to deal with it. If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support work
