Chapter 400 Construction

The basic conditions of the Golden State (Australia) are relatively good, and the existing facilities can fully meet the needs of 500,000 to 1 million immigrants per year; Infrastructure construction is mainly concentrated in Vietnam. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After more than three months of hard work, the Imperial Railway Company and the Railway Planning, Exploration and Design Institute came up with a preliminary plan.

The existing railway was renovated, and the original railway from Truong Sin City (Bangkok) to Chiang Mai was the first to be renovated and named the Zhengqing Railway, which was to be extended north to Thanh Lai City in the future to facilitate communication with the railways of the Chinese Empire in the future;

Then the railway from Hanoi to Saigon also began to be renovated and named the coastal railway, in order to better integrate with the railways of the Chinese Empire in the future, and the carriages and locomotives were consistent with the specifications of the Empire.

At the same time, the Railway Planning, Exploration and Design Institute has also designed several railways, and is currently exploring the passing terrain, the first railway is a north-south direction, from Mong Sau in Cangbei Province to Vientiane in Lancang Province, all the way to the south, passing through Viet Central Province, Battambang Province in Vietnam Province, Phnom Penh in Ann North Province, and arriving at Saigon in Annam Province, which is connected with the coastal railway and named Anlan Railway;

The second railway designed was from Savannakhet in Cangdong Province, passing through Viet Central Province and Zhengbei Province to the west, passing through Kamphaeng Phet to the north, and from Laixing Province to Mawlamyine to the west, named Cangmian Railway;

The third planned railway runs south from Savannakhet in Cangdong Province to Pakse in Viet Dong Province and Battambang in Viet Nam Province, connecting with the Anlan Railway and then continuing west to Trung Tan City;

The fourth railway runs from Cheng Shun to Singapore via Kuala Lumpur in Malacca province;

The fifth railway is from Mawlamyine to Bamo via Bago, Naypyidaw, Mandalay, and there are many straight lines, such as to Yangon, Ringanqiang, Taunggyi, etc.

The principle of construction is to renovate first, because the transformation takes the shortest time and produces the fastest results; The newly planned railways will first build railways in the plain areas to connect the major cities and ports, and then concentrate a huge construction team to concentrate on the construction of mountain railways. When the mountain railway is built, the construction of each branch railway can be started, and the utilization rate of the railway can be brought into full play as much as possible.

If all these railways are completed, then the whole country of Vietnam can be linked into a unified organic whole, both for the military and for the development of the economy is of great significance, now there is no shortage of labor, what is lacking is materials and related engineers, designers.

To this end, Jiang Baoshan applied to Zhang Wei for 18 cement plants with an annual output of one million tons, Zhang Wei considered that many railways will be built in the future, in addition to building railways, building schools, hospitals, roads, houses, etc. need a lot of cement, so he approved his request, Zhang Wei this time is the international 80s technology, the technology is very advanced.

While renovating and expanding the existing power plants in Vietnam, power plants have been planned and designed in major ports and cities along the river, and the inland areas can only consider building power plants after there are railways; Due to the lack of energy in Vietnam, in order to provide the power generation efficiency of coal, Zhang Wei built the power plant for Vietnam is the technology of the world's 90s, with a single power generation capacity of 300 megawatts, which is the most mature technology and the best thermal efficiency unit in the 90s, and can take into account the future expansion; Originally, Jiang Baoshan wanted to apply for a few nuclear power plants, but Zhang Wei directly refused, and he was not very confident about the current technology, and was ready to wait until the technology of the 21st century was reached before building a large number of nuclear power plants.

Adopting Zhang Wei's suggestion, Vietnam set up a national power generation company and a state grid corporation respectively.

Vietnam is very rich in limestone resources, and the selection of a cement plant is mainly based on energy and transportation conditions.

The country's coal resources are mainly concentrated in Cochin Province, which is dominated by the development of agriculture, coal mining and cement, in which the coal industry can absorb a large number of local natives and convert them into industrial workers, freeing up land to settle the Chinese immigrants.

The cement produced can be transported south by coastal rail or exported by port shipping; Coal is mainly concentrated in Hanoi and Quang Ninh, which is very convenient to ship from Hai Phong to all parts of Vietnam; Vietnam can also ship coal from Sumatra and Kalimantan to ensure coal demand for power plants along the river and along the coast.

After building so many railways and lacking a large number of sleepers, Zhang Wei had no choice but to synthesize several railway experts and ask them to develop the technology of reinforced concrete sleepers and build a prefabricated plant in the railway hub city.

In order to ensure that the technology of power plants, cement plants and reinforced concrete sleeper prefabrication plants is not leaked, all factories must be manned by at least one company of the National Defense Force, and workers in non-critical positions are provided free labor for life.

In addition to state-led investment, private capital is encouraged to participate in investment and construction, and basically every township and county has opened brick and tile factories, quarries, wood processing factories, flour mills, garment factories, food factories, etc.; Each county organized numerous construction teams to absorb the local indigenous population and convert them into industrial workers to make room for the Chinese immigrants.

The popularization of pneumatic rubber tires has greatly increased the carrying capacity of four-wheeled ox carts and horse-drawn carts, and the prosperity of civilian transport teams has accelerated the flow of materials.

The main tasks of the construction team are to build roads between counties and towns, to build houses for migrant villages, to build hospitals, schools, banks, shops, and government offices for county seats.

Vietnam has also planned a number of large-scale reservoirs and is preparing to build hydroelectric power stations and make comprehensive use of irrigation and aquaculture.

Several coastal and riverside ports have been planned, and all the materials needed are transported from the Empire.

Now Kalimantan Island is in the center of the empire and is very safe, Zhang Wei has set up the Royal Petroleum Planning and Exploration and Design Institute and the Royal Petroleum Company, vigorously developed the Ringanqiang oilfield and Kalimantan oilfield, and planned large-scale petroleum refineries in Ringanqiang and Balikpapan, temporarily with these two oilfields and refineries, which can basically ensure the demand for gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil, kerosene and so on.

Zhang Wei prepares to bring synthetic chemical fiber and synthetic rubber to the market after the war in Europe; In the current era, Vietnam no longer develops other major industries, and the immigrants are still mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, with grain exports as the leading industry.

The vigorous development of the Yue Kingdom, the whole Yue Kingdom became a large construction site, full of construction teams and migrated people, which brought huge consumption, not only the factories in other parts of the empire were stepping up production, but also imported a large number of materials from the Chinese Empire, so that the industry and commerce of the Chinese Empire entered a prosperous period.

With the continuous arrival of merchants in the Chinese Empire, the life of Yue was publicized everywhere in the Chinese Empire, and the Yue Kingdom was described by the merchants as a paradise-like place, where crops were cultivated three times a year, rivers were dense, there were no droughts and floods, and the people there could work to earn money in their spare time, and the people there were like living in honey pots, which made the number of immigrants rise rapidly.

European countries are very covetous of the Xia Empire's market, and only Germany has gained a part of the market share, which has made German industry and commerce cheer, which is the condition of the original resumption of the leased land in Jiaoao; Zhang Wei also wanted to take advantage of this to strengthen Germany's strength, and it would be better to be on a par with Britain, France, and Russia at that time.
