Section I

In the industrial area across the Wenlan River, smoke is rising from chimneys – and with the development of industry, there are more chimneys, which spew black smoke into the blue sky, announcing the progress of industrialization for the traversers. ()

But this industrialization is still very rudimentary. Ma Qianzhuo thought to himself.

After D-Day, they engaged in diplomacy while fighting and building, and finally gained a firm foothold. Although the idea of giving the travelers a better living environment was ridiculed as "tourism" before the crossing, in the past few months, they have been able to persevere in this sparse environment, without any large-scale mood swings, and completely at a high standard of living conditions - not to mention, Ma Qianzhu himself felt that if he had to live in a tent, drink smelly water, poop in the grass, and bathe in the river after a day of work in the executive committee, There was also a group of vicious natives outside, wielding knives and guns, ready to cut off their heads, and he had a nervous breakdown nine times out of ten.

The so-called primitive survival in the wild only caters to the cultural life requirements of the petty bourgeoisie who show off their professional equipment after dinner, and they express their appropriate indignation at industrial civilization to show their love for nature...... But if you ask them to live for three days without a flush toilet or hot water, they'll cry and pull in their crotch......

But the industrial civilization of the Crossing Group is too fragile, and all the objects that the Traveling Group enjoys modern life, the machinery and weapons that terrify the natives of this plane, and respect the ghosts and gods, are all based on the objects brought by the construction from another time and space, and they are gradually losing these reserves as time passes. At an Executive Committee meeting, Boon made it clear that the status quo of the thriving regime is false, because the reality is: "We are slowly losing blood."

What has been lost is the blood of modern industrial civilization. Those scrapped parts, burned gasoline, fleeting vehicle motorcycle hours, mechanical life, aging rubber, plastic parts...... Every time Ma Qianzhu saw the report of the Planning Commission, he would feel a sense of urgency.

If you can't live on these devices. By building a minimum of self-sufficiency before the life is exhausted, Jihua the Traveler will control East Asia within a generation, and the goal of colonizing Australia will be completely bankrupt.

The point is that even among them is the industry in the middle. The most researched people in the system cannot know: when the material is exhausted, it will make the industrial upgrading of the group fall into a bottleneck. Therefore, it is necessary to start the industrialization process when all kinds of materials and equipment are still abundant.

The modern industrial system, this crosses the most. How should you plan for a big killer?

He pondered for a long time the smoke from his "Holy Boat" brand white wooden desk. A leather-faced notebook was taken out of the drawer and opened. This is an essay by him on how to build an industrial system from Jihua.

What the traverser has to do is to rebuild an entire industrial system, which, in his view, must:

The footprint is as small as possible and the distribution is as concentrated as possible. Major industrial areas. The smaller the quantity, the better. However, there is no limit to the simple mining point and the beneficiation point.

Offered now in the 19th century. Everything that can be made in an industrial society, from machine guns to condoms to automobiles. Of course, it is not limited to one touch, as long as the performance and operating mechanism are similar.

Self-sufficient, without importing any parts or knowledge from the outside, they can support themselves, update their equipment, and maintain their operations. It can develop, and it can continue to improve the scale, processing accuracy, and even steering. For example, after a few generations, the switch from fossil energy to nuclear fusion energy.

There should be a large seaport or a large inland port relying on the big rivers as a logistics center. A Three Gorges-level water conservancy hub connecting mining sites across Shijie, taking into account the organization of irrigation, flood control, and clean energy. A processing and R&D center, a highly developed agricultural area with sufficient margins

Next to the logistics center is the petrochemical industrial zone, taking into account the location of the hydropower hub and the main iron ore mining area, to determine the artesian irrigation area and processing center, especially the metal smelting industry, and since the whole shijie is at your disposal, it should be transported by pipeline as much as possible. The railway transportation of coal should be minimized, and coal slurry pipelines or pithead power stations should be used to solve the problem.

If the terrain is not limited, it is best to place a number of ring-shaped areas in the rice-shaped set on the plain, and the different divisions of labor such as scientific research, life, production, entertainment and raw materials are divided into several small cross ring-shaped areas that are connected according to the demand for raw materials and products of the industrial category (environmental protection should also be considered). The living area, the entertainment area and the science and education area are in a three-legged shape in the center of the entire large loop. As far as possible, the raw materials are connected by underground pipelines and heavy railway lines (similar to the Daqin Railway), and the transportation of people is achieved through an elevated light rail system. It is best to connect the industrial and production areas with 10,000-ton deep-water ice-free ports and railway hubs in the open sea. At a sufficient distance from the city, there are several small wave bottom hydropower stations in a dotted pattern, part-time flood control, irrigation water for agricultural areas and urban domestic water (backup desalination plants must also be considered). Several small reactors of an experimental nature may be installed in the research area, as appropriate.

When he saw the word reactor, Ma Qianzhuo realized how distant and idealistic he was considering. Although there are senior technicians of the 405 company in Zhongli, this thing is still not expected in two or three generations - provided that they can pass on their knowledge, experience, and ideas to the next generation......

In the conference room of the Executive Committee building, a meeting on the next development plan is being held. This was an expanded meeting of the Executive Committee, which included not only the members of the Executive Committee, but also the key leaders of the various departments under it.

The theme of the conference was future development planning. Most of the leaders of these departments have been promoted in the recent restructuring of the organization, and they are all full of ambition and ready to show off their full strength. Each department came up with its own construction plan.

"Our top priority now is to complete the second phase of the Bairentan hydropower station," said Chang Kaishen, general manager and chief engineer of Lingao Electric Power.

"In the past, the reason why this project was delayed was largely due to our lack of labor, but now that there is so much labor, the supply of cement, masonry, bamboo and concrete is not scarce, and it should be completed as soon as possible."

"Can the safety of the bamboo concrete dam be guaranteed?"

"During World War II, the Japanese used bamboo and concrete to build water conservancy facilities. According to their experience, bamboo and concrete are more effective than those used to make prefabricated building parts. Mei Wan said, "If you really want to investigate the problem of kao, our current small vertical kiln cement itself is not standard enough." ”

"It's just that the structural strength is worse and the life is shorter, and the rolling dam of the Bairentan Hydropower Station in the 20th century is also stone-based, and we can emulate it. It really doesn't work, and the turf earth dam can make do. ”

Zhan Wuya nodded again and again: "I agree with the expansion of power facilities as soon as possible, with the current level of power supply, the operating rate of the machinery department is too low." "Many of the machine tools in the machine factory have not yet been opened - Hainan is humid, the maintenance work is heavy after opening, and the traverser lacks enough grease.

"The chemical industry agrees with that!" Ji Siwei said, "If it weren't for the lack of electricity, our soil electrolyzer would have started a long time ago, and caustic soda, bleaching powder, etc., would be mass-produced immediately -- these things are so useful." ”

"Can the problem of transmission and distribution be solved?" Ma Qianzhuo asked.

"It can be solved." Chang Kaishen is confident, "We have a full set of equipment, and we can erect the 110 thousand volt line of Bairen-Bopu -- so that the transmission loss is smaller." Since the Executive Committee has taken both sides of the Wenlan River as its main base, the equipment brought from the original time and space will be mainly used here. I believe that in the future we will be able to produce simple transmission and distribution equipment. ”

"If you decide to build the second phase of the Bairen Hydropower Station, it will not only be a hydropower station problem, but also a comprehensive treatment project in the Wenlan River Basin." Ma Qianzhu said.

He then unfolded his own plan, which was a rather complex project, in addition to expanding the Bairen Hydropower Station, it was necessary to build a sluice gate downstream of Bopu, renovate the revetment, and dredge the river to regulate the water level of the Wenlan River. Make sure you have enough water during dry seasons.

Ma Qianzhuo said: "Ensuring the water level of the Wenlan River has two major benefits. ”

One is conducive to inland navigation, although the Wenlan River is the largest river in Lingao, but the difference between the water level in the rain and drought is too large, so that the inland waterway shipping can only stay at the level of small rowboats, in the driest season, some sections of the river lou out of a large number of river bottom stones, although there is no broken flow, but the shipping has been impossible. With the Bopu sluices, the water level of the river can be maintained at a basic depth.

Ma Qianzhuo is a person who is very interested in canals, and he has built a large number of canals in his spare time in the past, and the most magnificent is naturally the inland shipping line of the Songliao Canal-Luanhai Canal-Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which he admires. Of course, before crossing the crowd and conquering all of China, this jihua could only stay in his notebook, but it was possible to canalize the Wenlan River.

Second, it is conducive to the adjustment of water storage and industrial and agricultural production. At present, the irrigation benefits of the Wenlan River are far from being realized. The major fields along the river basically do not repair canals, and the irrigation is kao manpower and waterwheels, which is extremely inefficient. The modern agriculture and industry that the traverser is about to promote will consume a lot of water, and with the sluices, water for industry and agriculture in the dry season can be guaranteed.

Everyone at the meeting was moved by the bright prospects outlined by Ma Qianzhu. What Wu Nanhai saw was a crisscrossing of irrigation channels; What he saw was a fleet of barges on the canal; What Zhan Wuya saw was countless water turbines and power stations; What Xiao Zishan saw was a family of traversers boating on the river on the weekend......
