The veterans and laborers who waited on the Sanya Amusement Wharf and watched the Big Whale slowly dock and wait for the equipment to be installed, of course, did not know that the cargo loaded on the deck of the Big Whale wrapped with reed mats and tarpaulins had such a complicated origin. The patriarchs were accustomed to the miracles of the industrial mouth, and as for the naturalized people, it was taken for granted that kind of thing - was there anything the patriarch could not do?

In addition to the veterans who were preparing to install the equipment, the Big Whale also brought back Wang Luobin and others who returned to Lingao to report on their work and celebrate the New Year. The veterans who ended the New Year's holiday were all red-faced, and the veterans who were originally stationed in Sanya also brought the maid they bought to Sanya, and even Zhuo Tianmin, who had always been sad, also brought back a maid - she looked pretty good. His son, who had been worried about him, had a complete solution. Fangcaodi set up a class dedicated to accommodating the children of the veterans, and accepted a few "little veterans" into it. The boarding system is also adopted, on the one hand, so as not to entangle the hands and feet of parents, and on the other hand, collectivist education is also carried out to ensure that the second generation will not become waste.

Li Haiping also returned. However, he was not on the Big Whale, but on six dhow patrol boats, which had been assigned to him by the Navy to reinforce the Sanya detachment. The fleet of six fishing spy boats is indeed a bit reassuring.

"Wang Gong, I heard that this annual meeting was very successful." He Fanghui said with a smile on the pier.

"Yes, Fang Fei is very capable of doing things, Zheng Shangjie is also very good at doing things" Wang Luobin's eyebrows fluttered, and he seemed to be still reminiscing about the grand occasion of the night, "Let's not talk about this first." Maid, no, the equipment is all in place now, and we are going to try to get the first shipload of iron ore out as soon as possible."

"The maid is in place, I see it." Xi Yaxiao got up, "At night, I will strive to fire a shot first." ”

Everyone laughed, and He Fang replied: "When it comes to women, it's a little bit unsavory. I'm going to have to open the meat when I find time. ”

"Let's find time, and rectify the Fa on the spot tonight," Xi Yaya slashed down with his hand.

The maids, dressed in ordinary labor training uniforms, wearing wide-brimmed straw hats, carrying rattan suitcases, and carrying canvas bags, looked at the group of patriarchs who spoke strange words in confusion. After a few days of turbulence at sea, they all languished.

Beside the maids, there were also many large and small packing boxes and bundles, on which there were black ink characters that read "Sanya Special Offering?" General Office".

"These are the daily necessities that the office has prepared for everyone."

"The office is really our caring person......"

He Fanghui coughed: "The iron ore is fine, it's all piled up in the stockyard." After installing the loading and unloading equipment, it can be shipped immediately. Do you use big whale transport? ”

"The big whale will carry a boat away first." Wang Luobin said, "But it will take several days to unload the cargo, and it will take at least a week to install the equipment...... "He calculated that the cargo hold of the big whale would be filled in early February at the earliest."

There are two sets of mining equipment transported: one is a bucket elevator, and the other is a mineral processing equipment - Tiandu Iron Ore is a rare rich ore in China, but it is also mixed with poor ore of low quality, symbiotic ore and worthless gangue brought out of mining. After beneficiation, transportation can greatly save the tonnage occupation of sea transportation.

The group took a small hair boat and crossed the Dadonghai Sea to Yulinbao. Wang Luobin took care of the maids and temporarily placed them in a labor camp outside Yulin Fort, where they lived with the female hygienists and clerks.

On the same day, at the "Iron Ore Export Work Conference" held in Yulinbao, the atmosphere was very warm: everyone had an in-depth discussion on the issue of ore export, equipment installation and maid placement, and the meeting unified their thinking, clarified their goals, and unanimously agreed to take these three tasks as the top priority in Sanya in the first quarter of 1631.

The installation of the equipment, of course, is responsible for the engineer Xiao Gui sent by the General Machinery Factory; Ji Runzhi is responsible for infrastructure assistance; The ore is still shipped to Zhuo Tianmin, who is currently temporarily acting as the director of the Tiandu Mining Bureau; As for the placement of the maid, Ji Runzhi is solely responsible.

"The Planning Institute also has a plan for immigration and industrial upgrading." Wang Luobin cleared his throat, "These two plans are long-term and not urgent, but from now on, we must gradually start operating and make basic preparations." ”

The Planning Institute decided to move 15,000 people from the mainland in batches, starting in the third quarter of 1631, the second phase of Operation Giant. A small number of them came from other prefectures and counties on Hainan Island, and most of them came from mainland refugees to enrich the Sanya region. Prepare the population base for the development of local industry and agriculture.

The influx of large numbers of people necessitates the preparation of a large amount of infrastructure: housing, water supply and sewerage, and roads. It also involves how to provide adequate food, fuel and health services to the sudden increase in population.

“…… Part of it depends on the supply of Lingao, and part of it is based on local production. In particular, the production of building materials and the training of construction workers ......," Wang Luobin said.

Zhuo Tianmin expressed concern: "As long as the bricks and tiles can be supplied with enough coal, even if Lingao can't supply chains and pulleys, you can also build a wheel kiln to make do, and you need professional equipment for cement and wood." ”

Cement supply must have cement kilns, wood must have special wood processing plants and drying kilns, these basic construction needs to be manufactured by Lingao professional equipment, dispatched Jishu personnel, Sanya's own small repair plant and a few elders can not get up.

Wang Luobin said: "These projects are included in the plan of the Planning Institute. And it was ready to be completed within the year of 1631 - in preparation for the industrial upgrading of Sanya in 1632. ”

He Fang replied: "What industrial upgrading?" ”

"Chemicals." Wang Luobin replied briefly, "To be exact, it is the salt chemical industry." ”

Yinggehai near Sanya is the most haode salt drying field in Asia. It is the largest salt farm in Hainan and the largest salt field in southern China, with a sea water concentration of 3.5, which is one of the most salty sea areas on Shijie after the Red Sea, and the salt production conditions are very good, and the salt field here can produce up to 270,000 tons of salt per year - and there is room to expand and increase production.

Large quantities of sea salt are the basic raw materials for the chemical industry. It is very convenient to develop and build a salinization enterprise in Sanya, and Sanya's geography makes it possible to develop petrochemicals here in the future - high-quality crude oil shipped from Southeast Asia can be processed nearby.

"It's too strong" several people were a little dumbfounded, originally everyone thought that they had developed Tiandu Iron Mine, and the current situation was great since the construction of the primeval jungle and barren beach from scratch, but they didn't expect that there would be a bigger cause to do later.

"Our career is really headless at a glance," Ji Runzhi exclaimed, his excitement overflowing. He is a builder who likes "big" and "giant", and has a natural fascination with big projects.

He Fanghui was a little worried: "I don't understand the chemical industry, but there are so many pipes, valves and large and small tanks in the chemical plant, can the machinery factory handle it?" ”

"It depends on how quickly your iron ore can be shipped out." Xiao Gui said, "To put it bluntly, industry is to have enough steel. With steel, you can make anything. ”

"Okay. We will do our best. ”

Now that the maid is in place, it is naturally inconvenient for the patriarch to continue to sleep on the shelf bed in the collective dormitory. Even if there are no luxury villas at the moment, at least you have to create a little "home" feeling for the single dormitory of the patriarchs.

Ji Runzhi had long wanted to move out of the barracks-style dormitory in Yulin Fort and build a beach house to live in—not only to enjoy, but also to practice his construction skills. Now that the woman has been sent, it is justified. He then put forward a motion at the working meeting of the Sanya Regional Military Committee to build a seaside house for the senators - unanimously approved.

The building materials on Ji Runzhi's hand are all ready-made, so how can he return to the guidance of this Sanya local. Soon, a small bay was selected near Yulinbao by the Dadong Sea. The scenery here is beautiful, and the terrain is convenient for vigilance, so Ji Runzhi immediately decided to build a "villa" here.

He spent three or four days building seven "seaside cabins" on the shallows. The cabins are connected by a covered bridge of timber. Such cabins were common in seaside resorts of the old time and space, with elevated suspended structures, wooden structures, straw roofs. The Lingao version of the "seaside cabin" does not even use wooden walls, but wooden strips nailed out of the wall frame, and then sealed with reed mats, which can also shelter from the wind and rain and block the view. It has been built, and it has the meaning of "original ecology and harmonious coexistence".

The "cabin" has a verandah eaves in front of it. Ji Runzhi made a few pots of tropical plants as decorations, and put a few rattan chairs on the eaves: the sea water flowed under his feet, looking at the seaside scenery and drinking wine with the maid in his arms...... After the visit, the elders were full of praise, and a few of them who came on a business trip temporarily couldn't help but be envious and jealous -- you must know that Lingao does not have such a beautiful seaside scenery.

"It's just not resistant to typhoons." Ji Runzhi said, "Before the typhoon season comes, you have to move things first. As for the electricity......"

Wang Luobin stopped him: "No power supply, lest someone say that it will cost the people and money." ”

He Fanghui also nodded again and again: "There is such a haode scenery, and what do you need electricity to do, just have a horse lantern lighting." By the way, you can also go fishing. ”

That night, the elders moved into the cabin. Except for Xi Yaya and Li Haiping. The two heads of the garrison were required to live in the barracks, and could only come to the cabin for recreation during the holidays.

The maids were all assigned to work--the patriarchs were not very relieved to let their women stay alone in the empty room--Xi Yaya used the power of the garrison commander to apply for military registration for himself and Li Haiping for the maids, which could be regarded as enlisting in the army as orderlies, and rightfully arranged for them to serve in their own barracks. Other maids have also become leading secretaries and clerks. Hippo didn't buy a maid from the office - he had already gotten his hands on Guo Fu.
