Chapter 169: Preparation
The winter in the Northeast is exceptionally cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info【Latest chapter reading】
This is just the rhythm of winter, and Zhu Changyuan is already frozen when he walks on the street outside.
All the soldiers and civilians in the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou have entered the winter break season, and with a large amount of food and clothing in Zhu Changyuan's hands, they are destined not to be too sad this winter.
At that time, nearly one-third of the grain came from Shaanxi, and the population under his rule is not too much now, so even if the entire Ningjin does not farm for three years, the grain that cannot be eaten is not worrying.
Although the weather was cold, there was a team of men and horses who were never idle, and that was Zhu Changyuan's two hundred ironclad cavalry troops.
Now that there is no need to fight, they have become experts in road surveying, walking around the field with instruments and surveying the terrain.
To be exact, it should be the terrain of the journey from Jinzhou to Fuxin in later generations.
Later generations began to set up Fuxin County in the place where Fuxin City is located, and now, that place is just a slightly larger village and town, a gathering place for residents, far from a city.
Zhu Changyuan is now the governor of Jiliao and the king of Yanming of the Ming Dynasty, ruling Liaodong and having the right to make full decisions, so, for convenience, he gave a new name to the place where Fuxin is located in later generations: Fuxincheng.
Let Bian Heng around him take 5,000 men and horses to build a city there, and dig a big pool at the foot of the open-pit coal mine for Zhu Changyuan's giant ship to park.
The two hundred iron horsemen are all enemies, needless to say, they are strong, and they are wearing a super thickened down jacket that Zhu Changyuan transported from modern society, so it is okay to deal with this cold winter.
After all, it is about the same latitude as Beijing, and although it is in the northeast, it is not far away from Harbin, and it is not as cold as imagined.
Now with Zhu Changyuan's global positioning subsystem, he can not only use mobile phones, but also use GPRS for positioning measurements. There was no need to use a total station, so the efficiency of the survey team was much higher.
In half a month, all the topographic map surveys from Fuxincheng to Jinzhou were completed. And the topographic map has been published, which can be described as first-hand exploration and design information.
Once these raw data were collected, Zhu Changyuan immediately organized the road designers on Riyue Island to design the best route from Fuxin City to Jinzhou City according to the topographic map, and extended this route to the seaside.
Of course. Given the conditions of construction in the parallel world, instead of designing a road, a railway, a single line, was designed. Because in road construction, whether it is technical standards or construction requirements, railways are much lower than highways.
Zhu Changyuan graduated from the School of Civil Engineering, although he dare not say that he is proficient in engineering matters, he still has this common sense, and he has spent a lot of time on the construction site. I have my father's ears and eyes all day long, and I know that there is still a little bit of it.
After estimating, the whole line is estimated to be almost a hundred kilometers, not too long, not too short.
Three days later, the personnel of the design institute completed the selection of the line and handed the selected drawings to Zhu Changyuan.
After Zhu Changyuan read it carefully, he shook his head: These designers are completely designed in accordance with the design concept of modern society, even if there is nothing wrong. However, the actual situation was not taken into account.
"Our current bridge construction technology can't keep up, and the route selection should be better to cross less rivers, and then build bridges when it is really unavoidable, and we must adhere to this principle."
A 100-kilometer line. Back and forth across the Daling River eight times, Nima, do you think Lao Tzu is very capable of building bridges?
Fortunately, after Zhu Changyuan clearly informed the people below of his thinking, in a few days, the official road route selection drawings were released, and the route was finally decided.
But. Although the route has been set, the specific detailed drawings have not yet been designed.
Zhu Changyuan is not in a hurry, anyway, even if the design is out, it will not be able to be constructed now, give them a winter to design slowly, start construction in the spring of next year, and make all kinds of preparations in advance this year, at least the personnel will be mobilized successfully.
People are just one aspect of this.
In fact, to do this well, the key points are two points: one is the railroad track, and the other is the train.
Earthwork and subgrade filling are easy to say, and ballast is not high-tech.
The key is the rails, and with the equipment in his hands now, it is almost impossible to produce them.
This requires Dennis and their steelmaking furnace to take shape as soon as possible.
Although things like rails can be obtained with a little effort in modern society, Zhu Changyuan does not plan to transport them from modern society, what he wants is to produce them himself.
According to his plan, through this orbital production, it will be able to lead to the creation of at least a number of production plants, and it will also provide new employment opportunities for many people on the island, and at the same time improve the scientific and technological level of the whole world.
Now he understands a little bit that in order to develop science and technology, it is not enough to transport things from modern society, and at the same time of transportation, it is also necessary to maximize the use of manpower and material resources, and cannot always keep a bunch of idlers.
The good news is that the team led by Dennis Lao Maozi is very enthusiastic about work, and they are divided into ten small teams for the two projects, and each of the five teams is responsible for one piece, respectively, to make the steam engine invented by Dennis, as well as the steelmaking furnace proposed by Zhu Changyuan.
As for the raw materials, they were provided by Zhu Changyuan.
With the cooperation of the workers, according to the specifications designed by Lao Maozi, some people cut steel plates, some people welded, and some people were responsible for the circuit, and a small steelmaking equipment was being installed little by little.
Zhu Changyuan was also very happy when he saw it, and it seems that these two projects will be able to have production conditions after the year, although the efficiency of production is not guaranteed.
In order to ensure production, before the equipment has production conditions, Zhu Changyuan also needs to do another thing: prepare raw materials.
For example, if you need coal for steelmaking or steam engines, you need to mine coal.
Fortunately, there is a large open-pit coal mine in Fuxincheng, and now there are excavators mining day and night.
After the coal mine is mined from the coal mountain, it is transported to the foot of the mountain by a large car that does not consume energy and is exchanged from the system, and there are special people driving a loader to load the coal on the big ship little by little.
The steamer stopped in the widened waterway of the Daling River.
Once the 30,000-ton ship was filled, Zhu Changyuan could receive it into the system and then take it to Riyue Island, where the ship's coal mines would be piled up in a special coal storage yard for later steelmaking and steam engines.
The problem of coal is solved, and there is another problem: iron ore.
I have to say that Liaodong is really a good place, not only has open-pit coal mines, but also has open-pit iron mines in Nima.
Where is the iron mine?
Anshan!
Where is Anshan?
Just on the back side of Gaizhou, on the south side of Liaoyang, there is a super large iron mine, the reserves are amazing, enough for Zhu Changyuan to use in his life, not to mention, the key Nima is still open-pit.
It's just that there is one point, the location of the iron mine now belongs to Huang Taiji's territory, which is a little difficult to get.
Although the two parties have now negotiated peace, Nima can't swagger to other people's places to mine, this is too unserious about others.
Zhu Changyuan did some research in modern society.
The largest open-pit iron mine in Anshan should be the Dagushan Iron Mine, which has not been mined in the parallel society, and it should be a small hill with an altitude of about 300 meters, with a radius of ten miles.
In ancient times, it was known as the "Ten Mile Iron Mountain", which is at the foot of a thousand mountains, 100 kilometers away from Shenyang, and almost 100 kilometers away from Gaizhou City.
In other words, this so-called Shili Iron Mountain is between Shenyang and Gaizhou City, and it is the outermost hill of the mountains, which is convenient for transportation and more convenient for mining.
This iron ore mine is not a secret even if it is in a parallel world.
The so-called ten-mile iron mountain refers to this ten-mile small mountain bag that is almost a piece of loose iron lumps, not only Zhu Changyuan knows, but Huang Taiji also knows.
Moreover, many of Huang Taiji's weapons use iron, and the source is here.
If you want to take this mountain bag as your own and invest in mechanical mining, it is undoubtedly very difficult, not only because of the technical difficulty, but because of Huang Taiji's side, people will not want to do it at all.
What to do?
Beat!
Zhu Changyuan has nothing to do to develop the economy, and it is impossible to fight with soldiers every day, so it is best to think of other methods, such as mutual benefit.
So, with a tentative idea, Zhu Changyuan sent an envoy group of twenty or thirty people to visit Shenyang, and put forward a request to Huang Taiji to develop iron mines.
In order to show solemnity and attention, this time Zhu Changyuan sent Yan Hong, the backbone of Riyue Island, as the head of the envoy group, to negotiate with Huang Taiji on all matters related to the development of iron ore.
"Foreign minister, Yan Hong, head of the Ming Envoy Group, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, may Your Majesty be blessed and healthy!"
Yan Hong bowed without kneeling, called the foreign minister, and called His Majesty Emperor Taiji.
There is no way, in general, the people have already established the country, which is no worse than the Chongzhen Emperor of Jingshi in terms of political status.
"Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, please be seated!"
On the main hall of Huang Taiji, someone specially moved a stool for Yan Hong, and Yan Hong was not polite, so he sat down and faced Huang Taiji on the imperial steps, but it was just a step up.
"In order to show his sincerity in enjoying eternal peace with the Qing Dynasty, King Yanming asked me to bring a gift and send it to Your Majesty!" Yan Hong waved his hand, and the two people below came up with a motorcycle and put it on the main hall of Huang Taiji.
"What is this?"
Although there are many goods from Sun Moon Island to Liaodong, even to the imperial palace of Huang Taiji. For example, what kind of watch, now there is a piece in Huang Taiji's arms.
However, for this motorcycle that is not sold to the public, Huang Taiji has not seen it, and the ministers of the Qing Dynasty have not seen it, so everyone felt quite amazed at first sight.
"Motorcycle!" Yan Hong stood up, bowed his hand to Huang Taiji, and said, "Please allow the foreign minister to demonstrate it to His Majesty." ”
"Good!" Huang Taiji was quite interested, and took a group of civil and military ministers to a long bluestone slab royal road in the palace to watch Yan Hong's motorcycle.
Yan Hong was not polite, after lighting the fire, he "buzzed" on the royal road and galloped, the speed was simply so fast that it exploded, and then he made a circle, ran back on the road, and stopped in front of the ministers. (To be continued.) )
