Chapter Fifty-Nine: Entering Huwei Port at Night
On a moonlit night, the Xuanwu landing craft sailed rapidly on the sea.
In the small conference room of the landing craft, Shao Chen was lying on the sofa, dizzy and uncomfortable. Zhang Xianbo sat opposite him and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, you shouldn't make this trip, the repair speed of the vehicle here in Huwei is very fast, I will go back in two days at most, why are you in a hurry!" ”
Shao Chen is the general manager of the newly formed Fuxing Chemical Group, a native of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and received a double doctorate degree in chemistry and biochemistry in the United States. Shao Chen was a senior engineer at a chemical plant in TG, and after participating in the crossing team, he recruited more than 10 front-line technicians from this chemical plant to form a strong chemical team.
Lin Youde's planned Taiwan industry will focus on the development of Keelung Chemical, Taipei Steel Mill, and Miaoli Oilfield in the initial stage.
Keelung Chemical Industry Park is built on the north bank of the Tianliao River, with an area of more than 400 acres. Although the team customized a complete set of synthetic ammonia equipment and coal coking equipment in the original time and space, it only brought the ammonia synthesis tower, which is difficult to produce in this time and space, as well as some stainless steel closed containers, water jackets, furnace seals and other equipment. The mechanical parts that were not brought by the synthetic ammonia equipment and the coal coking equipment have been processed and produced by Xiao Bailang in Shanghai and Qin Yi in Dunan Island. The refractory materials in the coke oven, such as silica bricks, clay bricks, high-alumina bricks, cylinder bricks, and thermal insulation bricks, are all fired at the building materials base of Dunan Island.
The civil construction of the chemical park was carried out by Lin Dejia's infrastructure team, and the coal coking equipment and synthetic ammonia equipment were installed by Qin Yi's Keelung Machinery Factory. Qin Yi has now been transferred from Dunan Island to Keelung to be responsible for serving as the director of the Keelung Machinery Factory of Fuxing Machinery Group. In the chemical park, after land leveling, road construction, and earthwork excavation, coal coking equipment and synthetic ammonia equipment have all entered the site smoothly, and civil engineering, pipeline construction, and equipment installation are being carried out simultaneously.
The labor required for the construction of chemical parks includes carpenters, concrete workers, scaffolding workers, furnace builders, riveters, fitters, mechanics, welders and other skilled workers. When Lin Dejia and Qin Yi were in Dunan Island, they trained technical talents in this area in the school camp.
Carpentry, concrete, and scaffolding are relatively simple, and most of these honest students in the barracks are illiterate, and learning electric welding technology can only rely on a lot of practice. The academy selected 100 more clever young men, and these people followed their master, Zhang Xianbo, a senior welder, every day to draw gourds in the same way.
Zhang Xianbo, 35 years old, a native of Sichuan, Jingtong repairs and maintains various machinery and equipment, especially good at pipeline welding, has a first-class welder certificate, and is a senior engineer of Keelung Machinery Factory of Fuxing Machinery Group.
In order to be able to provide enough electrodes for these trainees to practice, Dunan Island has also specially assembled a simple electrode production line. These 100 people have been practicing on Dunan Island for more than three months, and they have done a lot of welding work, and their skills have been practiced, and they have all become qualified junior welders.
Coal coking equipment and ammonia synthesis equipment are heavy, have many parts, and have many pipelines, which are very complicated to install. Especially for pipeline installation, many places require senior welders to use manual arc welding for welding, and these 100 junior welders are naturally not useful. The senior welders of the crossing team are all in the Ningbo shipyard in the original time and space, and only Zhang Xianbo can do this work in this time and space.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xianbo was welding pipes at the construction site of the ammonia synthesis tower, when Lin Youde, a member of the Planning Commission, suddenly called and said that all the vehicles used for the construction of the Huwei Free Trade Zone were lying in a nest, and 100,000 people were urgently transferred to Huwei to help with the work, and the landing craft were already waiting at the wharf.
At this time, Shao Chen was taking his team to be busy with the commissioning and installation of instrumentation equipment at another construction site. When he learned the news, he chased all the way to the dock, Zhang Xianbo and his two apprentices had already boarded the Xuanwu, and the landing craft was about to leave the dock.
"What two days!" Shao Chen scolded hatefully, "Qin Yi has passed two days, and now I have brought you over again, and the construction of my chemical park has stopped." ”
"Mr. Shao, you are too anxious. The chemical park is going so well, what impact can I have if I go for two days! ”
Zhang Xianbo pursed his lips, very disapproving. The construction team of more than 1,000 people in this chemical park has been carried out step by step, except for some difficulties in pipeline equipment, the installation of other machinery and equipment is checked by Shao Chen and his team, and those junior welders and installers are enough to complete the task.
Shao Chen almost jumped up from the sofa, "Can I not be in a hurry!" Since your machinery factory has signed a contract, you should work for me seriously, you senior welder don't work for us, just walk casually, this is a violation of the contract, I want to deduct the fine~~"
Before Shao Chen could finish speaking, the boat began to shake violently again, and he retched for a while and spit a few mouthfuls of yellow water into the trash can.
Zhang Xianbo diligently patted him on the back, "Don't mind, this is a task assigned by the Executive Committee, and we can't help it!" ”
Shao Chen lay on the sofa and let out a wail, "Our chemical group is outside the system and enjoys the right to operate completely independently. The Executive Committee should consult with us first and obtain our consent. ”
The Xuanwu landing craft cleaved the waves and sailed into the mouth of the Tamsui River. In the moonlight, the outline of the estuary coast looms, and the newly built lighthouse on the Sharon headland shines brightly.
The light in the Xuanwu wheelhouse was a little dim, the navigation lights shone faintly, and a folded-arm table lamp stingily illuminated the charts laid out on the chart table.
In the dim light, Dai Liang was dressed in a training uniform and sat sideways on a high chair, with the rank of captain hanging on the collar of the training uniform. He lazily turned the small globe on the table with one hand, and his two eyes glanced at the lighthouse in the distance, and estimated the location of the lighthouse in his heart.
He glanced at the deputy captain Wu Kailu behind him, "The location of the Sharon Lighthouse!" ”
Wu Kailu tested it with an azimuth meter and loudly reported his measurements, "Report to the captain, the lighthouse is 65 degrees on the starboard side, and the distance is 4.3 chains." ”
Lieutenant Wu Kailu is a native of Mohe, Heilongjiang, and is only 20 years old this year. After joining the crossing team, Wu Kailu has been working on the Xuanwu. At first, he was an ordinary sailor, but after half a year of bruising and climbing, many of the old crew members of the Xuanwu were transferred, and he also grew into a trainee deputy captain. But in front of Dai Liang, Wu Kailu kept his figure down, treating himself as a junior apprentice.
Dai Liang smiled on his face and gave the command to slow down and turn.
As the Xuanwu approached the estuary, the lights on the Huwei Fort became faintly visible.
The Huwei signal station is located at the highest point of the Huwei Fort, and under the monitoring of the marine radar, the ships within a few tens of kilometers of the Tamsui estuary can see it clearly.
Seeing the signal station flashing and sending signals, Dai Liang issued an order, "Report to the signal station, the Xuanwu boat is ready to enter the port." ”
Under the guidance of Wu Kailu, the signal soldier Chen Erli got a signal light and sent a light signal to the signal station on the Huwei Fort.
The Xuanwu is a small boat, with few people, and the department on the boat is divided into a gun and sail detachment, a navigation detachment, and an electromechanical detachment. Deputy Captain Wu Kailu is also the captain of the Navigation Guantong Detachment.
Chen Erli was a recruit who had just boarded the boat two days ago, and because he had read the Four Books and the Five Classics for a few days and could write a few words, he was selected to join the sailor corps at the Dunan Island Cadet Barracks and received two months of sailor skills training.
Soon, a set of light signals came from the Huwei Fort, "Welcome to the port!" ”
On both sides of the estuary, there are two lightboats, red on the left and green on the right, guiding the channel. This lightship has also just been set up by the port construction team of the infrastructure construction group, in order to improve the night navigation capacity of Huwei Port.
The landing craft went upriver along the center line of the channel, and the lights of Huwei Port became faintly visible.
"It's the end of Shanghai!"
Zhang Xianbo and Shao Chen walked into the slipway one after the other and greeted Dai Liang with a smile. At this time, the Xuanwu sailed smoothly, and Shao Chen also came back to life.
"I'm going to enter the port, I don't have time to greet you!"
Seeing the two people walking into the slipway, Dai Liang nodded slightly, his eyes stared at Huwei Port in front of him, and he kept giving new instructions in his mouth.
Seeing that Dai Liang didn't want to pay attention to himself, Zhang Xianbo was very unhappy in his heart, you are a small captain from a non-commissioned officer, what a cow! If I were to be in the Navy, I would definitely be the captain of the ship.
Zhang Xianbo has always wanted to work in the navy, he thinks that he has a high level of technology, at least he can be a chief engineer, as long as the navy develops greatly, he can be promoted soon, put on a straight snow-white uniform, stand on the bridge to command Ruoding, and kill all sides. It's a pity, the young man in the organization department doesn't know what to think, he must have allowed himself to engage in his old profession and stifled the talent of a fleet commander.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry today." Zhang Xianbo's eyes rolled and he found Wu Kailu, "It's still good for you!" In the system, they are also soldiers, and their salaries are guaranteed in drought and flood. ”
The crossing team has been moving from a "supply system" to a "salary system" since December. The implementation of the salary system has brought about a problem: the salaries of the members of the executive committee in the center are very high, while the salaries of most of the cadres are low, especially in some soy sauce parties that are still at the level of section members, and the salaries and benefits are correspondingly lower.
In order to reduce unnecessary contradictions, the Executive Committee specifically stipulated in the wage distribution plan that before the national victory, all the people who crossed the country would enjoy the treatment of Ming cadres, and the basic salary (including post salary and grade salary) was all set at 50 yuan.
In addition to the basic salary, the salary income also includes various subsidies, such as post allowance, naval allowance, pilot's aviation allowance, medical and health allowance for health personnel, allowance for difficult and remote areas, additional allowance for dangerous operations, etc.
The personnel of the military elite department also include a military rank subsidy.
Zhang Xianbo got his salary for November yesterday, and his basic salary, post allowance, and bonus add up to almost 140 yuan. Feeling that his salary was much more than that of these people in the system, Zhang Xianbo couldn't help but take it out to show off and hit Dai Liang.
Wu Kailu held the steering wheel in his hand, his eyes stared at the direction indicator pin on the panel, and his mouth said haha, "How can you enjoy happiness outside the system, I heard that there are a lot of bonuses outside the system, and we only get a dead salary, not a dime bonus." ”
"That's right, our machinery factory had a good performance last month, and the bonus paid was more than the basic salary." Zhang Xianbo smiled, "Actually, you are not bad, I heard that your navy subsidy is very high." By the way, how much is your monthly subsidy for going to sea? ”
"We are in the system, and we get the salary in December, and this overseas subsidy can only be counted at the end of the month." Dai Liang drove them out very unceremoniously, "Okay, don't disturb us to dock, you guys are ready to get off the boat!" ”
Saying that, Dai Liang picked up the speaker and deployed, "Deploy by the dock!" ”
Then a series of bells rang, which was the bell for all the people to work, and all the crew of the Xuanwu boat began to run.
"Captain Dai, Xiao Wu, let's go down and get ready to go ashore, goodbye!"
Zhang Xianbo continued to lie in the cab, Shao Chen grabbed him, "Hurry up, your two apprentices are still waiting for you below!" ”
