Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Lumber Mill

There were no sails on the Aror, and the captains of the future Senate sail fleet were running back and forth on the bare masted deck at this time, training for a simulated voyage according to Stone's orders, and although they couldn't get the veteran officers to climb the mast to make a fool of themselves, it was still nice to let them run around the deck like dogs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Ston had always been apprehensive about the fact that he had come to attack the port of the East with a fleet, the elders did not seem to have the slightest taste of settling accounts with him, but were training strictly according to his orders, which surprised him.

"Mr. Stone, do you think the ship can get out of the harbor?" During the break, Bu Zhongfu chatted with Ston a little curiously. He knew that this kind of simulation training was useless even if he trained too much, and the experience gained after running a lap at sea was far more than a few days of training in this harbor.

Ston raised his right hand and compared the masts at the exit of the port, shook his head and said: "I can't get out, the hull of the Fengrui class is relatively wide, although it looks like you can pass without touching the mast, but the beam of the underwater sail will hit the bottom of the ship and cause an accident, let's wait until the wreck is removed." ”

Generally speaking, a platform is built between two large ships, and then the winch is used to pull the wreck up, and then the ballast can be discarded to bring the wreck out of the water, and then let the carpenter repair it. In the chat with the senators in recent days, he also heard about the intention of the senate to salvage the sunken ship, and now there are two captured warships, seeing that these people have lowered the sails on the ship, they must also plan to use this method.

However, he had no idea what the captives were doing by the beach, and they were tying up large pieces of wood under the command of some of the patriarchs. Although Ston is not a ship carpenter, he still has a lot of experience in wood, the quality of these woods is obviously quite good, and at a glance you know that these must have been dried for more than a year, and they are perfect for shipbuilding. But these people seem to be making a large shelf of wood, if he is not mistaken, these wood should be used to build a platform for salvaging the sunken ship, isn't this a tyrannical thing?

It is best to know that the wood required for shipbuilding is quite high, and it is best to dry the wood for more than a year, and it is best to have no water at all, so that when the ship is launched, the wood will absorb water and expand, and it will automatically wedge the gap between the ship board and the ship board. This kind of wood is very difficult to obtain, especially since storage takes up space and takes time, so the price of such wood is quite expensive in the Yaning country of the Central Continent. This is the unproductive Eastern Continent, and the Senate uses such precious wood to build a platform, do their families know about it?

Cheng Jun of the Planning Commission was not worried about this, and at this time several wood drying rooms had been set up in the timber factory, and these wood drying rooms used a longitudinal circulation drying system of steam and hot air. Since the "development" of the steam engine in the heavy industry laboratory, the boiler is no longer a big problem, although there are still gas leaks from time to time, but there is no problem in providing steam.

At this time, boilers can be seen everywhere in Dongfang Port, not to mention the wood drying room, and now Pan Dai and Yuan Fang of the Ministry of Electric Power have directly transported the first set of steam engines to the power station at this time, and a 30 kilowatt generator that was removed from the diesel generator set has begun to generate electricity on a trial basis to provide electricity to several nearby veteran dormitories.

At this time, the lumber mill not only provided dry wood, but also charcoal, wood tar and pyrowood acid for the chemical sector, but could not meet the needs of the senate, which had not yet developed an industrial system, and every day the timber mill was full of naturalized people, pulling or pushing carts, waiting to transport various products. And their chiefs are almost all in Xiao Jing's lumber mill office, fighting each other for the raw materials they need.

Xiao Jing has a terrible headache for this matter, listening to the noise of all kinds of processed wood in the timber mill every day is uncomfortable enough, not to mention listening to these elders arguing in front of him, he doesn't want to increase production capacity, but at this time the population is still insufficient, and the production capacity of the heavy industry sector is not enough, not to mention the heavy wood processing equipment he wants now, even these original band saws are overstretched to use. The quality of steel provided by the metallurgical department has not yet been skillfully controlled, and the quality of the band saw blades processed by the hardware factory can be imagined.

Xiao Jing couldn't help grinning bitterly, and looked up at the hole in the window frame, which was broken and flew out of the saw blade of the band saw machine downstairs a few days ago. His office was pierced with a few holes on the third floor, but fortunately, with the blessing of Master Zu that day, there was not even a person who broke the skin, otherwise he would have to peel off his skin if he was hit by a flying saw blade. For this reason, he also called Li Jin from the metallurgical mouth, hoping that he could control the quality of the product, but Li Jin's reply also made him quite speechless. "Executive Committee Xiao, it's not that I don't want to control the quality, you must know that it is rare to be able to provide qualified steel, and there is no quality control of the raw materials sent to our smelting department, and I don't know what the problem will go when I enter the furnace, I have to return to the furnace at both ends in three days, do you want to call the hardware factory to see, at least the steel ingots I provide to them must be qualified."

Xiao Jing flipped through the more than ten lists of materials in the folder at hand, almost all of them were approved by Cheng Jun, and when he opened them, he saw that there was everything he wanted, such as wooden boards, logs, charcoal, and wood tar...... And the demand is scary. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the small pile of wood piled up in the open field, the products that had just been processed every day were pulled away as soon as they were piled up in the open field, and there was almost nothing left. At this time, if you open the inventory records of the lumber mill, it is almost as much as it is produced, and although the lumber mill has been expanded several times, there is already a considerable lumber warehouse by this time, but now it is empty except for a few barrels of gasoline with wood tar.

"Executive Committee Xiao, this is the approval of the Senate, and the Planning Commission has also stamped it, this batch of timber will be supplied to us first, right? We're waiting to build a house. ”

"Why give it to you, the last time we built the house of the prisoner camp, the wood was already supplied to you first, this time our shipyard has to get it first."

"Shipyards? Your dry dock hasn't been excavated yet, so what are you going to do with the wood? When the dry dock needs timber, at least after the cement plant is put into operation, right? ”

"That's it! Our cement factory is in urgent need of timber installation equipment, and we have also taken the approval slip from the Senate, ......" The speaker took the folder from Xiao Jing, who was rolling his eyes, and turned to his own timber transfer application, "Here is the seal of the Senate, and the seal of the Planning Commission." ”

Xiao Jing's heart at this time is 10,000 alpacas running over, at this time the production capacity of the timber mill has not gone up, the equipment has a considerable loss due to the continuous shaft operation, and now some equipment has begun to need to be overhauled and maintained, but the people who need wood are stuffed with their offices every day, and the noisy sound is mixed with the sharp sound of processing wood from time to time, which makes Xiao Jing uneasy.

At present, people in these departments are clamoring to give priority to meeting their own demand for timber, but there is no way to solve this situation of more monks and less porridge, so we can only say that everyone discussed with each other and reached a compromise with the existing inventory. As for whether this discussion was mixed with deep condolences to the immediate family members of the participants, or the senate pills thrown at every turn, or even the Quanwuxing Xiao Jing who could break out at any time, it was completely unpredictable, he left these people in his office, and walked out into the corridor alone to breathe.

He subconsciously dug into his pocket, only to realize that his cigarette had long been cut off, and his mood couldn't help but get worse, and he slapped his right hand on the railing twice.

Someone handed over a cigarette on the side, Xiao Jing took it in amazement, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Why do you still have cigarettes?" ”

The person who handed the cigarette was Du Yande, and the executive committee member in charge of logistics also came to him to pick up the wood at this time, "I don't smoke, my wife specially bought a few packs and brought them in the salute before the crossing." ”

Xiao Jing was suddenly overjoyed, and quickly put the cigarette on his nose and inhaled it deeply, and was immediately intoxicated by the fragrance of the cigarette. "I said, why don't you smoke?"

"Don't smoke?" Du Yande smiled, "I secretly smoked in junior high school and high school, and later when I was a soldier, I was at the border, and I mainly dealt with drug dealers, and you also know that drug dealers want to win over drug enforcement personnel, but they do everything they can, and it is not uncommon to add some drugs to cigarettes." In order to prevent this from happening, I quit directly. Later, when I was discharged from the army, I also wanted to smoke it, but I didn't need to smoke anymore to quit completely. ”

"Awesome......" Xiao Jing put the filter in his mouth and went to take out the lighter, but suddenly took out the cigarette and stuffed it into his pocket.

"What? Reluctant to smoke? "Du Yande is a little strange, these are guys who haven't smoked for a few days, how can they still bear it?

"No," Xiao Jing pointed to the pattern painted with wood tar on the wall next to him, "This is a special fireproof unit, go back and smoke again." Saying that, he was suddenly stunned, "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft, what are you doing here?" ”

"Hehe," Du Yande laughed, "You, dealing with these guys here every day has raised your vigilance, well, I'm also here to ask you for wood." ”

"Wood? Why use it? Xiao Jing was stunned, "You are in the logistics department, you don't need to build houses or equipment, why use wood?" ”

"No," Du Yande handed over the application form, "The canteen needs to be expanded, and the tables and chairs for eating must also be added, I have approached the construction team, and they said that they have no inventory of wood, and we have to prepare it ourselves, so I have to come to you." ”

Xiao Jing looked down, "So much?" I can top the output of the lumber mill for most of the day. Why don't you go in and talk to the guys inside?" ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden noisy noise in Xiao Jing's office, and a wooden teacup flew out of the door and fell downstairs. Du Yande shook his head and said, "It's still not good, you can help me keep this wood slowly, anyway, it's not these two days, and what are you going to do with your shavings waste or something?" Why don't you just drag us to cook in the cafeteria and make a fire? ”
