In Taiwan, the earliest place to feel the arrival of autumn is actually the northern part of Taiwan.

Perhaps after the first gust of autumn wind blows, the vast flowers on the hillside by the stream first pull out the purple red flower spikes, and then slowly turn white - as the autumn wind rises, the autumn mood gradually thickens, the endless miscanthus blooms, the white waves are churning, and the long sea of flowers with its soft posture, stretching the vast charm, kicks off the autumn dance - this season is their season, at this time the heaven and earth enter a hazy animation-like artistic conception, full of beautiful mood.

"Ahh

A sneeze with a metallic echo instantly shattered the animation to pieces.

Captain Wu Jianqiang led Captain Wu Hualong, who came later, as well as more than a dozen technicians and security team members, as well as two local Ming peasant guides, gradually appeared in this dreamy hazy picture, and the figure became clearer and clearer.

They now go all the way up the banks of the Shuangxi River in northeastern Taiwan. They wanted to find the Sungai Coal Mine in the world according to the latitude and longitude of the future.

From time to time, the frightened waterfowl, complaining that they had broken the beauty of the place, let out a wailing sound - but they did not pay any attention to it, just gasping for breath - yes, people who have been walking for two days are still in the mood to see the scenery.

Taiwan's coal mines were mainly formed in the Miocene era of the Tertiary Period, and the generation is relatively new, and the coal deposits containing the Mushan layer, the stone bottom layer and the Nanzhuang layer have high economic value, and the others can be used as soil fertilizer.

In the sixties and seventies, Taiwan's coal exports were mainly stone-bottom coal, which is often called firewood coal. It is very versatile as a usable coal for coking, power, gasification, and so on.

The coal mine with the best quality of firewood coal produced in Taiwan is the Shidi Coal Mine near Jingtong Station in Pingxi Township, Taipei County. Therefore, the bottom coal of the stone has become another name for firewood coal.

But now, they can only look at the Shidi coal mine on the map - like the Miaoli sulfur pit oil mine, the people of the Hantang Group have no way to transport the mineral products.

Pingxi Township is full of mountains.

So the people of the Hantang Group set their sights on the Shuangxi Coal Mine, which is not far from the banks of the Shuangxi River.

A few months ago, Guo Huaiyi built an advance base near Keelung Badouzi, and originally only prepared 100 bamboo houses, but he didn't expect to be able to capture so many people, so he added another 100, which can now be used to contain the United Nations prisoners.

The UN captives quickly learned to follow the rules after being executed by a few escapees and mischief, and of course, Dr. Rodman's communication with them also helped. The dedication of their own people works quite well, and there is no trouble with misunderstanding communication.

The UN prisoners were transported to Badouzi in the Keelung area in batches.

There is a reason for this, because China's modern coal mines were first born here.

In 1876, Shen Baozhen, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing court, who presided over the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, set up the Taiwan Mining Bureau in Keelung, purchased foreign machinery, hired British miners and craftsmen, and founded the first coal mine mined by machinery in modern China, Keelung Coal Mine. It was not until 1878 that it was officially completed and put into operation, with a daily production capacity of 300 tons of firewood and coal.

After the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Taiwan was occupied by Japan with the fall of Taiwan.

After 1905, with the completion of the railway running through the province, the coal mining industry developed, and the raw coal was continuously sold to Shanghai, Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

In the process of deduction of the Hantang Group, a technician smiled and said: "Didn't Chairman Li originally want to hand over the construction of Kaohsiung Port to Little Japan?" Let's just contract the construction of the railway to them, and just listen to our command! ”

The crowd laughed and agreed. Now there is no hurry, little Japan, you are all waiting slowly.

Judging from the materials of later generations, this Badouzi coal mine is not deep, and the deepest is only 90 meters of vertical shaft. The diameter of the vertical well is four meters in diameter.

After research, Hantang Group decided to directly go to one of the commonly used methods in the world, the single-face inclined longwall coal mining method - each working face is two mining roadways, one is the transportation roadway for coal transportation and air intake, and the other is the return air inclined roadway for transporting materials and return air, this method is simple, safe, and more importantly, saves the power expenditure of transporting coal.

Such a good coal mine can only produce 300 tons per day? It's a bit too clumsy – we have small cantilever TBMs, rock drills – and new explosives.

Of course, if you bring a crawler rock loader and a slag rake, the efficiency will be faster, but they are all vetoed, and the people of Hantang Group think that don't waste valuable tonnage, and organize manpower to do it when the time comes.

When the Hantang group recovered Taipei and Keelung, it promised the local people that they would go around digging for coal, and that they could exchange grain with them at that time.

Most of the Ming immigrants in these two places were Min people—not to mention exchanging grain for grain, even if they let them dig for nothing, they would do it honestly—and they could see that these people were more powerful than Hongmao.

When Guo Huaiyi was ordered to build the advance base, he exchanged grain with the people in these two places, loaded it with coal and took it away, and the local Ming farmers were immediately overjoyed.

Originally, the Ming peasants in this place were not in harmony with the natives in the mountains, the reason was very simple, the Dutch colonists in Geranza City thought that the Ming peasants were better at planting than the natives, so they preferred to the Ming peasants in the distribution of rented fields; At the same time, when they have disputes, they are biased towards the natives, and give them a little favor - this kind of duplicity can only make the two gangs of people continue to quarrel, but neither side dares to make a big deal - these red hairy people really dare to fire guns to suppress it, and both sides have died for it.

The people of the Hantang Group thought that this might be a case of Europeans being good at balancing power?

At that time, the local natives were really frightened, and the red-haired babies, who were like gods in their eyes, surrendered at that time, and obediently boarded the terrible iron ship like little boars—and what was even more terrible was that there were still those who could talk to the natives—it was too obvious that they were all in the same group!

However, the natives did not come in what they thought they would do, but they were told that they could mine the coal, and that the time would come and exchange rice and other food for the natives – most of the natives did not dare not do it, but there were also tribes who took the initiative to move deep into the mountains. They have always disbelieved the words of the Ming peasants.

The new type of explosive used by the people of the Hantang Group this time was potassium chlorate explosive.

100% potassium chlorate is produced by Bubao Chemical Zone. But its ingredients were brought from the world. After repeated trial production by Director Sun Defa, two more suitable proportions were found.

The first ratio is to use 85 percent potassium chlorate plus 10 percent vegetable oil – preferably coconut oil, plus 5 percent aluminum powder.

After the lead column compression test, the intensity of the explosion is equivalent to that of No. 2 rock explosive, and the intensity of the explosion is equivalent to 67% of it when calculated by TNT.

What is the concept of Rock 2 explosives? As long as the location is right, there is no rock in the world that it can't blast - Hantang Group has another weapon to transform nature. Aluminum powder was brought from the world, but fortunately it was needed less and could be dealt with. If Hantang Group can't produce aluminum after it is used up, zinc powder can also be used.

The second ratio is to use 75% potassium chlorate plus 10% pure sulfur, and then 15% carbon powder.

These three ingredients need to be ground to more than 150 mesh, and the explosion intensity is equivalent to 35% of TNT after testing, which can be used in general geological conditions and is suitable for large-scale use. As for detonators and fuses, the average chemical worker would be inappropriate.

When the experiment report was posted on the Internet, some of the people of the Hantang Group were happy and some worried-the biggest feature of potassium chlorate explosives is that they are unsafe--ordinary explosives, we seem to be able to solve them, right?

At that time, Director Sun Defa made a special trip to the city of Geranza for this matter, and he explained at the time that the first point was that we would transport it separately and prepare it on site; The second point, high-purity potassium chlorate, as long as it is not mixed with combustibles, its physical sensitivity is not very strong, my attached documents have a drop hammer test report, you can take a look; The third point is that high-purity potassium chlorate only needs to be escorted by professionals, and I can be specially escorted, and we have to believe in chemical common sense.

Another technician questioned that ammonium nitrate explosives are the right way, why do we want to make high-cost potassium chlorate explosives-

Director Sun Defa explained at the time that it was the most applicable for our current chemical production.

The technician immediately said, understood, understood, applicability is greater than cost, greater than everything!

Later, the technician took the initiative to visit Director Sun Defa.

His name is Kim Myeong-chi.

Jin Mingchi Technique Technique Dafang said, "I'm the one who questioned you-"

Director Sun Defa said sincerely: "Okay, you are welcome to continue to question——"

"No, no, I'm here to sign up for the demolition team with you—"

Director Sun Defa immediately took out the IPD and wanted to check his information, this technician is usually relatively low-key.

Jin Chi Mingji smiled and said, "You don't have to check, I applied in the name of an excavator driver, and I didn't talk about a lot of experience——"

"Oh, you can tell that our Hantang Group knows everything, and it seems that no one is hurt by what they say. Would you rather have some tea, or a hundred years of solitude? Director Sun Defa asked enthusiastically.

Jin Mingchi Technique Technician thought about it seriously and said, "A hundred years of loneliness, I want the Zhang family's - add ice cubes." ”

The two chatted while drinking a little wine.

Jin Mingchi Technique Magician completely told his own experience, in a strict sense, he was actually a fugitive from the world.
