Prologue Chapter 3 Waiting for the Waves to Rise in the South China Sea (2)
The goods that Rockley said are the materials required for 3D printing, although there are a lot of construction machinery in the port area, and it is enough to be used, but once it crosses, it must be manufactured in large quantities of various equipment, and the self-processing capacity in the early stage is not enough to provide enough printing materials, not to mention that the surrounding oil is rich and rich, but there is no iron-rich ore, and it is not an overnight thing to open iron ore in the mainland, you must know that all the infrastructure after crossing has to rely on itself.
With materials, at least you can do whatever you want, whether it is automatic mining equipment or engineering vehicles, the design drawings are ready-made, simple and convenient to manufacture, and there are professional personnel responsible for assembly, a sense of security is the first thing that Rockley pursues, he learns logic, and practices his own rigorous style and standards in management. Of course, these thoughts Luo Keli did not tell the trustworthy Uncle Chen that the external statement is still the United Nations project of this archway.
The young woman didn't think that much, although she was old enough in this group, and she was with her among the thirteen people that Rockley had brought with him at the beginning. Shangguan Lu, one of Rocle's best students, but Roclery is not his mentor, Shangguan Lu, who is called a beautiful woman by everyone, majored in engineering chemistry in college, and was the flower of chemistry in the school when she was in school, but it was said that she was only 22 years old back then, and it was only three years since she skipped a grade to graduate.
Now the head of the petrochemical project on Labuan Island is Shangguan, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a beautiful woman, with a height of 1.62 meters, a pair of long legs, a sweet appearance, and a cute personality, if it were not for people who are familiar with her, it would be difficult to associate her with this refinery.
"Luo Lao, I just want to ask if the oil reserves are enough, a new piece of land has been opened in the north of the island, and some storage facilities can be expanded, and now transporting oil back to the mainland is also a formality, so it's better to cover it all, right?"
"Do we have three million tons in stockpiles now?"
"If I arrive early, I plan to tell you about this, and at this pace, there will be absolutely no problem with the reserves of five million tons by the end of the year."
"In fact, more or less is not a problem, to maintain normal operation at the beginning of the 100,000 tons of refined oil is enough to start, we just try to make the plan more lenient, leave more leeway. What I'm worried about is that if the violent reaction at that time causes a strong electrostatic current to detonate the oil tank, it will be troublesome, and the oil and gas storage facilities and all kinds of refining and chemical equipment under your control will have to be kept an eye on, and the protective materials I have already reported to the country, and they will all be shipped by the end of the month at the latest, and we will do another experiment after we arrive. ”
"Okay, I've made a note of it, nothing else, right?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to remind you that it's time for dinner."
"Really? What are you eating in the cafeteria today? ”
"I won't tell you, hehe." After reporting to work, Shangguan Lu returned to his usual playfulness.
The two of them came down from the upper floor one after the other, and walked towards the port in the last afterglow of the sunset, and when they arrived at the cafeteria, they could already meet a lot of people who came to eat, greeting each other, greeting each other, although they did not talk about the topic of crossing, but others could see that the inexplicable excitement was overflowing.
…………
Because of the National Day control, Li Yanling's spaceship was a little later than usual, but he finally went in the direction of Hainan.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the information I received before taking off said that the port had temporarily detained the ships of supplies, and the apparent reason was naturally because of the war in India.
But in private, the leaders also have the meaning of delaying, after all, the current case, if you want to say that it is urgent, it can't be said that it is urgent, all the evidence on the surface can only be regarded as chasing after the wind and shadows, and the Americans are not playing with the means of attacking the west, who can know if this time it will be the idea of hitting somewhere else? It's just that the only thing to worry about is that it's not easy to ask directly on Labuan.
The current person in charge of the island has some energy in the government, and has been in the country for many years, and has helped various ministries and commissions solve many problems, and has formed a lot of good karma. In comparison, the materials they are going to are really nothing, and the throughput of coastal ports in any few days is more than this number, not to mention that Labuan has really earned some face for the government over the years.
The destination of this trip, Sanya, is the port where the cargo ship was detained, and under the cover of a tourist city, it should be said that the other party is very hidden.
In the past few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, what Li Yanling has done the most is to analyze the past information, and the more he looks, the more he admires Roclery and others.
In addition to analysis, there have been several times, and Li Yanling himself has even been a little caught in it and can't extricate himself. Especially for the principle of travel and the time to be faced in the future, it is self-evident that it is attractive to people like him who are from a low background and have been struggling to survive. Compared with those peers who relied on the protection of their parents and grandparents to go all the way in their careers, he, a civil servant who is still struggling to seek promotion at the grassroots level at the age of twenty-five or six, is really discouraged.
Can I cross too? In the dead of night, Li Yanling asked himself such a question several times, but there was still no answer. He is a realist after all, and so far, none of the materials he has access to can confirm the world after crossing over, so it seems that it may really be a kind of suicide.
Looking at the gradually low red sun on the clouds outside the window, Li Yanling stretched his waist and continued to dream, there is still a lot of work to do, and it is better to be practical now......
…………
High platform, sunset——
Everything is poetic, but it's also a place of reality.
The canteen is built on a prominent high ground by the sea, it is an ellipsoidal building, divided into two floors, although it has been autumn for some time, the indoor air conditioning is still very full, the people of this era have long been accustomed to the life of closed doors, like Rockley from time to time to take some time to go outdoors to let the wind out, in addition to the routine meals, that is also because the food here is good, the rice and vegetables eaten are grown by themselves, pork and beef are also produced on the farm here.
Of course, not everyone will run out to eat, and there are still many people who stay in their own units or take turns in the dormitory to simply eat convenience food.
However, there are some exceptions everywhere, and Labuan is no different, and the canteen's delivery cart will load enough food and drive out along the island's paths every time a meal is served.
During this period of time, there is no special need for manpower on the whole Labuan Island, factories and farms are Internet of Things networks, and if there are no special circumstances on weekdays, dozens of people in the equipment and factories on the entire island are enough to deal with it.
The only thing that has invested a lot of manpower is the defense system of the entire island, the barbed wire fence around the entire island has long been pulled, and for the future core control area, the reinforced concrete parapet wall without a high standard still makes people feel insecure, and there are many people who like to find something to do, and at this time, outdoor work can be acceptable.
The busiest place is obviously the port area, the port is not far from the administrative area and the canteen, and even on the second floor of the canteen, you can completely overlook the harbor, several nearly 100,000 tons of old oil tankers and other ships are neatly lined up in the depths of the harbor, and there are many small boats moored outside, and you can see a lot of busy machinery on the dock from a distance.
Today's delivery menu is simple: one of the best teriyaki fish in the middle of each person, the bones have been cleaned, and the seasonal vegetables and shredded pork with the potatoes have been fried to a shiny finish. It can be seen that the people who have worked all day eat very quickly, and even the dessert after the meal - rock sugar tomatoes has been quickly eliminated, but the recent construction period is tight, everyone is also extra careful, and they dare not be careless, and the delicious wine is consciously controlled.
"It's cool to be born in Khan."
The man looked no more than twenty-four or five years old, but he had a thick mustache, and his eyes seemed to be firing at any time.
Huang Hu is not from a professional class, since graduating from high school, he has followed his cousin to take on projects all over the world, don't look at Huang Hu's white skin, it looks quite refreshing, but it is an out-and-out 'teaching stick' in this base. When the project was carried out in Africa and the Middle East, it was originally a bit of a sacrifice, and the local government required that the work give priority to the religious people, and they had a collective conversion of thousands of people when they built the floating rail station in Mecca, although they were all businesses, but after a few years, Huang Hu had some qualifications, and the religions of various sects were converted, and the theory can also be said to be seven, seven, eighty, eight.
"Xiao Huang, your progress is quite fast, I'm afraid you are the fastest in these groups."
In the crowd was an old man who looked to be close to forty, and now he looked at Huang Hu and squinted his eyes again, and the wrinkles on his dark face were even more furrowed. In fact, Kou Tiangong is only in his early thirties, according to the resume written, he is five years younger than Rockery, but the old face in front of him looks not much better than the skin of a kiwi, plus a pair of cargo pants and a jacket, no one believes that he is a steelworker in Hebei at the beginning of the last century.
"Kou Gong, the amount of work on the dock is small, I will look back and strengthen the ship again, do some necessary protection, anyway, it is estimated that there will be no more places in the next two months."
Huang Hu laughed, a mouthful of white Hao teeth and Kou Tiangong's face became a stark contrast, "By the way, today's fish is good, have you eaten?" ”
"No, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat, Shangguan and Lao Luo are over there, I want to talk about something."
Kou Tiangong was right, just now on the way to the cafeteria, Shangguan Lu sent a message to Kou Tiangong, asking him to go to the second floor of the restaurant to eat together and talk about things.
"Then we're welcome, we originally said that we would call you to sing together."
"No, no, listen to my voice."
At this time, Huang Hu noticed that Kou Tiangong's voice was slightly hoarse, which is not surprising, Kou Tiangong was originally from Shanxi, and he had such a sour and dumb taste when he spoke on weekdays, and others didn't pay much attention to it when he caught a cold.
"You guys have fun."
Kou Tiangong himself has never been much interested in these entertainment activities, he is an engineering family, originally engaged in forging, and later caught up with 3D printing technology cabbage, and became a professional in this area, but his unique skill is also in the technical development of the steel industry is well understood, which is a valuable experience for crossing.
The night had already darkened, and the street lights were already on on both sides of the path that stretched from the port area to the north, and a balance bike that happened to deliver food to the island came back to give Kou Gong a ride.
It was half past eight o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and looking from the window of the cafeteria, although the lights were still bright, a thin layer of starlight could still be seen in the night sky outside. The closest person to Rockley was also two or three tables away, and it was obvious that everyone knew that they had something to say, and they consciously avoided it. At present, in addition to Luo Keli, Shangguan Lu and Kou Tiangong, there are two young people, one man and one woman, sitting at this table.
