Chapter 346: Cement Road Railway

The Dinghai Naval Port has been basically completed in a few months, and the first port to be developed is the simplest and easiest to develop.

Unlike the port layout of this era, the port of this era is a port, but it is more than a simple anchorage, in some suitable places by the sea, there are some places where ships can dock, and there is a place to store goods and load and unload goods.

The largest places like Hangzhou and Quanzhou are just a little more of these stops.

However, the port of the Dinghai Navy is completely different, this is a port with a preliminary modern character, a wide coast, a place that cannot be affected by typhoons and waves, a huge anti-wave and numerous arrangements, blocking the stormy waves of the open sea.

And inside, there are special anchorages, which can dock a large number of sea ships in a short period of time.

At present, the development degree is only about 2%, and now there is only one minimum docking area, and under the special arrangement, more than 200 ships can be docked at the same time.

In other places, a large number of areas have been reserved, and even superships of 200 meters or even more than 500 meters can be docked, Zhao Xin can say that the future development is the first priority.

There is no electricity and steam, and under the premise of these energy sources, but simple manpower, under the premise of sufficient lifting equipment, can reduce many things and improve efficiency.

Overhead cranes and various tower cranes are located in various locations of the port, and after conduction, they can flexibly transport the goods to any place.

In terms of efficiency, compared with the previous port, it is at least 100 times higher, and a ship of about 4,000 materials can be unloaded in 2 hours at most.

Behind the wide harbor was a huge open field, all of which had been hardened with cement, neat and flat, and the navy had complained about such a large open field, because it was wasteful and meaningless.

Zhao Xin construction here, is a reserved container terminal, containers compared with ordinary shipping, has a huge advantage, a fast turnover, is enough to change everything.

Now, not to mention container ro-ro ships, even if it is a more advanced new sailing ship, it is difficult to get out, and this huge empty space is more wasteful.

The port is the foundation of the navy, not only the railway runs through the port, but also the road, on the east side of the port, there are at least four huge main roads, through the port.

Through these main roads, you can enter every corner of the Dinghai Navy.

At present, the construction of the Dinghai Navy is far from over, but the vertical and horizontal main roads have been built, and these roads are not the common asphalt roads in later generations, but cement roads.

The main material of the oil road is asphalt, the later generations built the oil road, on the one hand, because of the material, on the other hand, because of the convenience, an asphalt road, from the shovel to the final construction of the completion, may be fast only take half a month, and even after the completion of the excavation of the foundation, laying may only take one or two days.

There is no need to wait for the cement road to condense for a long time, after the paving is completed, it can be opened in a day or two, and the efficiency is quite high, which is the best choice for urban construction.

But now, in the absence of large-scale paving equipment, and raw material asphalt, these are fundamental problems.

At present, the main body of the Dinghai Navy is a cement road, and it can only be a cement road.

Cement road, there is no technical content, as long as the formula of reinforced concrete, even if there is not enough road construction machinery, it can also be built by trolleys and iron plates, and it takes only a lot of effort.

In the early days of China's development, there were not enough machinery and equipment, and all problems could be solved by relying only on manpower.

The Northern Song Dynasty was looking for the city with the largest labor force, so although the Dinghai Navy could not be compared with Bianliang in terms of population, it looked like it was hundreds of thousands less, but the labor force of young and middle-aged people was completely exploded.

Dingjun is a new city, it can't be said that there are no old people at all, but there are very few old people, it's not that Dingjun doesn't want old people, it's because of the general law of a new city, resulting in very few old people and children.

The source of the population of the Dinghai Navy was originally the affected population from Huainan East Road.

Nature is the power of the great shore, the choice of nature is a terrible choice, it is cruel and almost cold-blooded, in the face of nature, any benevolence, morality and even family affection no longer exists, only cold choice.

There are two choices, through and not passing, passing means living, and not passing represents death.

As early as last year, it was a disaster, even after the government's relief, those who barely survived were the prime of life and children, the elderly and the infirm, almost eliminated in advance, and starved to death, the most terrible result.

The victims are like this, the van army and the craftsmen, they have parents and the elderly, but to a certain extent, the first to come are all in the prime of life, at least they can work.

In the city of 1 million people, there are 500,000 men in the young prime of life who can do heavy physical labor, these are the main force of the labor force of the Dinghai Navy, and there are 200,000 healthy women, and there are many teenagers and half-grown children.

In the past few months, there was no rapid development, just because, Sun Ji and others still used the experience of the Northern Song Dynasty to develop the Dinghai Navy, there were no omissions, but the efficiency was not high, everyone only needed to do a little bit of work assigned from above, it was fine, there was no need to do anything else.

This kind of efficiency, in front of the huge manpower of hundreds of thousands of people, each person does a little bit, gathers sand into a tower and comes down, the result is also very impressive, when Zhao Xin arrived, the entire Dinghai Navy already had the appearance of a city.

thought that such a result would make Zhao Xin very satisfied, but Zhao Xin was very dissatisfied when he arrived.

Inefficiency is the key, on the other hand, some useless work, will duplicate labor, under such a premise, at the beginning, Zhao Xin more work, are put on coordination, coordination of the entire manpower allocation, coordination of the production of the steel plant, coordination of the entire layout of the navy.

The obvious difference between industrialization and feudal society is that efficiency requires less manpower and is more convenient and faster to complete work.

Feudal society pays attention to Tao Yuanming, picking chrysanthemums in the southeast, leisurely appearing in Nanshan, even the hardest farmers, in addition to the busy farming season will be a little busy, in ordinary times, are quite idle, and even have the life of wives and babies hot kang head, as long as there is enough food, that is, the biggest expectation of farmers.

But what is the industrialized society like, efficiency, a person's power is limited, but when this person's labor is embedded in the labor of countless people, in the end, even if a person has a little improvement, the final improvement is a geometric number.

Industry, cooperation and production, these produce chemical effects that are enough to increase the efficiency of the navy.

In the stunned eyes of Sun Ji and others, the development of the Dinghai Navy began to accelerate rapidly.

To put it bluntly, the current production efficiency of the Dinghai Navy is at least more than 100 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it may not be as efficient as the Daimyo's blacksmith workshop, but it is not much different.

The Daimyo Blacksmith Workshop can use tens of thousands of manpower to produce iron materials in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of blacksmiths, or even millions of people, cannot produce iron materials, and efficiency improvement is the key.

In front of the hard hands of millions of people, the Dinghai Navy has obtained subtle changes, one day at a time, the highway is the end, and the main lines are connected, so that the city has a bloodline, and now there are not many things passing on this bloodline, but it makes the Dinghai Navy better.

In the case of walking with feet and walking on wheels, of course, it is the efficiency of the wheels, which is more efficient than measuring with both legs.

The wheel has changed the world, and it can be said unceremoniously that among the simple inventions, the wheel is the most efficient one, increasing the efficiency, increasing the speed, allowing the speed of human beings to change nature to begin to accelerate, and finally form a brilliant future civilization.

Now, the Dinghai Navy also takes this as a starting point, the wheels on the dirt road are the slow moving ox carts, the wheels are on the flat land, that is, the faster moving carriages, when the wheels act on the railway, this is the invention that changed the times.

Railway, in the development of the Dinghai Navy, is a very important link, but also a project to demonstrate efficiency, from the beginning no one is optimistic, has become an important blood channel, any of his influence, will make the entire Dinghai paralyzed to the extent.

If it is replaced by a modern railway, even in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the rudimentary state of the railway, it is very difficult to build, and each railway, all of which consumed huge manpower and material resources, was finally built.

In the 11th century, the same was true, but the railroad was in its embryonic state, and the steel produced by the navy had reached the level of the early stage of the First World War, and the quality of this steel was much higher than that of the time when the railroad was born.

The most important thing about the railway is the quality of the steel, and after the quality of the steel goes up, the rest can be ignored.

Especially now, it is a horse-drawn train, the weight of the train, the requirements for the land base, and even other parts are relatively low, and there is no need for a steam locomotive, in this case, the speed of construction begins to increase.

In the beginning, the 3-kilometer-long railway used to test only took half a month, more than 30 kilometers, and it didn't take 4 months at all, and a series of attempts took a lot of time, but for some rivers that are not more than 300 meters long, the construction of bridges, and some low small mountains and hills, there are certain attempts, so under the premise, the railway itself has been quite mature.

Now, it took more than three months to complete the railway, which has become the most important scenery of the Dinghai Navy, he has been running between the steel mill and the port for a long time, and has undertaken a huge task, he has connected the steel mill and the port as a whole, and the steel produced from the steel mill can be sent to the port in less than a day at most, and then transported to various places by sea ship.
