In the past few days, the military training of the security regiment has taken on a certain appearance, and Tian Zheng has written a part of the information on tactical movements and group coordination tactics and gestures, and asked Adjutant Wang Qi to continue to organize training.

This is a relatively standard three-three system group formation tactical training. Everyone is equipped with a pistol, a spear, and two grenades as standard when they train. Two of them were armed with rifles, the other with machine guns. This makes it possible to form a basic combat unit!

"Looks like it's time to develop a silencer! When the industrial base is relatively perfect, the development of 81 bars will begin. If conditions allow, then go straight to the Type 95 fully automatic assault rifle! Tian Zheng said secretly in his heart.

Seeing the days passing, his heart became more and more anxious! However, the development of the entire industrial system and the training of the troops must go through a long period of rigorous development, and this cannot be rushed.

In the past two days, there has been a series of good news. First of all, Yan Shisan, with prospecting experts Lu Feng and Wu Tianfu, reported that the reserves of the two iron ores had been determined, at least more than 10 million tons. That aluminum mine is relatively small, and it also has reserves of one million tons!

Hei Laoqi also asked someone to report it, saying that the location of the mine had been determined. Within the scope of the drawings that Tian Zheng delineated for him, he found a place with a thick coating, flat surroundings, and a rock arch not far away! This is Tian Zheng's ideal location in the mine! If the soil layer is thick, the rock layer is relatively thin, and the surrounding rock frame can ensure the safety of the mine.

Ma Wenqiang also came to report, saying that the steam turbine had been successfully made according to the drawings given by Tian Zheng! In fact, the steam turbine manufacturing process is not complicated, but it requires a deep theoretical foundation to design the steam turbine drawings. It took so long to do it, and most of the time was spent on making the mold!

Liu Tianxing brought a shocking good news! Some of his previous ideas for improving the lathe have now largely come true! Tian Zheng has seen it in the past, the machining accuracy of the lathe is higher, and after improvement, the cutting of complex processes can also be completed! This will significantly increase the efficiency of the production of weapons! Tian Zheng secretly thought that this Liu Tianxing had just given him some hints to achieve this point. I don't know how many times stronger than the so-called pride of heaven who have nothing to do and don't want to make progress in schools in later generations! Liu Tianxing has only read books for a few years! Even reading drawings was learned after being transferred to the lathe operator!

Everyone has their strengths, and it depends on whether the leader can spot these bright spots and guide them to use them!

After the installation of the steam turbine was completed, Tian Zheng participated in the test and acceptance work. It all went well. Just wait for the plant and supporting facilities to be perfected, and then it can start operation!

Tian Zheng counted the gold bars that had been spent, and in just a few days, there were already ten more gold bars that had been spent! We have to speed up the progress of various projects quickly!

The architectural drawings of the power plant have been determined, and Tian Zheng asked Ma Wenqiang to recruit workers to start construction, and also made some plans for the laying of the line. Tian Zheng also asked the government to send a lot of notices about the imminent electrification of Liaocheng. For a time, the citizens applauded and expressed their willingness to spend money on electricity.

Due to the previous design of the steam turbine frame in the power plant, only various supporting plants are to be built, so the progress is still very fast. And it's just a small thermal power plant, countless times smaller than the smallest thermal power plant in later generations! However, for the electricity consumption of the entire Liaocheng, it is enough! After all, there are only a few light bulbs in every household!

Tian Zheng designed the drawings of the excavation machinery and tested the finished electric motor. The drawings are not difficult, and many mature techniques in later generations can be taken directly, but considering the current industrial base and the strength of the economy and talents, Tian Zheng chose a relatively cumbersome method.

Dig the mine straight up, and then use a crane up and down the support frame inside. As a result, the requirements for excavation machinery are a little lower. Tian Zheng buried himself in the sky and night, and finally made a detailed planning and design drawing!

The upper layer of soil is made of a well-like device with a diameter of about five meters. The huge impeller coils around the shaft of the machine, and as the machine advances, the soil layer is brought out by the machine excavation. This machine is powered by a steam engine. Because the power of the motor he developed at this time was too low to complete such a large load output.

The rock layer below allowed Han Fuqu to bring in an engineer battalion, blast it with explosives, and then clean it up. When the coal seam is hit, it will be excavated horizontally. At that time, it is only necessary to design a simple and practical coal mining machinery. And it can be driven by an electric motor.

The entire circle of the mine is a steel plate support frame, with two air inlets and two air outlets. The circulation of air is driven by the fan blades driven by the electric motor. The elevator is powered by a steam engine, and has a fall arrest device, and will also be equipped with a set of backup power units to ensure the safety of mining.

After carefully looking at the drawings and the plan, Tian Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and asked Hei Laoqi to go directly to Ma Wenqiang, and assemble the excavation machinery for the excavation layer that was handed over to Ma Wenqiang to cast last time, and take it to Yangguan to start digging wells. and gave Hei Laoqi the right to recruit people by himself. When the time comes, he will bring the salary to the regiment headquarters and pay it according to his work records.

When Hei Laoqi saw this kind of tunneling machinery for the first time, his heart was deeply shocked! He never thought that coal mining could be like this! This strengthened his determination to do this job well!

After about a week, the work on the power plant was completed. And the wires are also laid in place. After all, this is just a very small power plant! Tian Zheng is also helpless in his heart! He knows some of the information about large hydroelectric and thermal power plants, but not all of them, because he didn't study this major in college. It seems that there will be more professional talents recruited in the future! The coal used in the power plant is from the small coal mines in the surrounding area. Tian Zheng's price to those coal bosses is not low, but it also ensures an endless supply of coal! In this way, the first power plant in Liaocheng was put into operation!

Ma Wenqiang reported to Tian Zheng, "Commander, according to the current electricity price, we can make a net profit of 500 oceans every month!" ”

Tian Zheng paused when he heard this, "What is the average family's monthly income?" ”

Ma Wenqiang didn't know why Tian Zheng asked this, and replied honestly, "Generally, there are people in the family who go out to work, and they can earn about one or two oceans a month!" If there is no young and strong labor, the monthly income should not exceed an ocean! The families of the refugees who fled are even worse, and some of them still have no settling down to eat and shelter. ”

"Then how do we charge the price of electricity?" Tian Zheng asked again.

"Electricity is collected on a per-household basis. Each household has to pay an initial installation fee of two oceans when wiring. This includes the cost of wires and wages. In words, it is half an ocean every month! ”

Tian Zheng shook his head, "It's too expensive." In this way, those who have a stable income will maintain the same fee standard for half the ocean. If the family is in financial difficulty, the electricity bill will be exempted, but each family is limited to one light bulb! If the income is not high, it will be charged according to the standard of 100 yuan per month! Don't charge the initial installation fee when installing! We pay for all material and labor costs. ”

"Captain! In this way, our capital turnover will be difficult! And will anyone be dissatisfied with our pricing? Ma Wenqiang said excitedly.

And so it was. We built the power plant to benefit the people, not to earn the people's hard-earned money! Let's not put the cart before the horse! Tian Zheng said solemnly.
