Chapter Seventy-Three: Wu Hualong's Entry into the City
Wu Hualong pressed the broken hat even lower, and also followed the path to the city of Relanza. Like Zhou Fu, he is also very familiar with this place, and he can walk there with his eyes closed.
To the west of the square in the city of Geranza, near the pier, was originally an open-air market.
Akito in Ming clothes, sailors in sailor suits, mercenaries in soldier uniforms, officers in uniforms, natives wrapped in sackcloth, and even Japanese people in kimonos, everyone lived in harmony and could go shopping at will and take what they wanted. Of course, this is mainly the information obtained from the oil paintings. Thanks again to the unknown painter.
The closer Wu Hualong got to the dock area, the more scared he became.
He could already hear a sound similar to that of the strange car walking, even louder. Weeds and trees more than a person tall on both sides of the path obstructed his vision.
His two hands unconsciously grasped the pole. This action made him more stable, and more than 20 years of hard training was not given in vain. He wasn't as panicked as he had been. He'd seen it, it was just a strange car, and there were people in the back of it, and it wasn't a big deal. Didn't the so-called person surnamed Zhou also go up? As for how it can walk, leave it alone.
Turning a corner, his eyes were no longer dense with weeds and small trees, but open up, and the whole dock appeared in front of him.
But he froze, and unconsciously took the broken hat off. He saw a landscape he could never have imagined!
He didn't care that there were dozens of people wearing red and white helmets on the docks, what they were busy with he didn't care. I didn't care about the strange cars walking on the dock, no matter how weird they were, they were just some kind of strange cars.
Oh my God, what could have such a big liliang?!
He saw a big boat like a mountain, a big plywood boat of the red-haired people, and in front of it should be a small paparazzi, right? Even more incredible was the fact that above it stood an iron gate higher than the flagpole of the city of Geranza, and a few ropes of unknown origin kept lifting a piece of iron the size of a table, and slamming it against an iron pillar erected in the middle of the sea. When the voice came, Wu Hualong felt that the earth was beating!
He really wanted to throw down his burden and run away, but fortunately, he found that no one paid attention to him, that huge thing, people were concentrating on smashing it, who cared about him. Wu Hualong looked at it like this for a long time.
Regarding the construction work of the Wharf in Geranza City, the Jishu staff of the port department compared several types and unsurprisingly agreed on their opinions.
The wharf structure forms are gravity type and high pile type. It is mainly determined according to the comprehensive consideration of the use requirements, natural conditions and construction conditions. The gravity dock is stable by the weight of the building and the weight of the filler in the structural range, the structure is integral, strong and durable, and easy to repair after damage, which is extremely haode.
However, it can only be applied to more haode foundations. But it's just this zuihou point, and the gravity type is kicked out.
The place where the city was built is really good, and it is bordered by the Taiwan Strait in the west, so it can trade with the Ming mainland and control the trade rights of the strait. Moreover, it is more than enough to guard the entrance to the inland sea of the Taijiang River. Of course, there is also a deer-ear-like passage in the northwest, and later the Luer Port was built, which was used by Zheng Chenggong, which is a later story.
Everything is indisputable. But the Dutch, your sister, when you build the dock, you won't do a plate load shiyan? Running to the silt-shaped soil layer to repair the dock?
Before repairing the wharf, Sun Shan, the manager of the port department, led a few jishu staff, with a 1 square meter round steel plate, which is used as a bearing plate, hydraulic jacks, stress rings and other loading devices.
The reaction system is simple, and after a while, the steam crane can be sent to the I-beam reaction frame and support column, reference beam, displacement measurement original, etc.
Measurements show that even if 200 tonnes of monomer cargo could be landed on the wooden trestle, the weight would crush the Dutch wharf!
Let's change places, there is no possibility of renovating the Dutchman's wharf, so let's do passenger transportation. Fortunately, it was not unexpected, it was thought of beforehand.
Among the traversers' landed cargo, the heaviest object was a steelmaking furnace body weighing 400 tons, followed by a high-temperature and high-pressure gasification reaction tower weighing 300 tons. Other chemical towers and furnaces are smaller, and they are all selected with complex structures and special requirements for applied materials. It stands to reason that there is no need to land in such a hurry, but the Ziyun can't even have a temporary home, and has been floating at the mouth of the river. So rebuilding a dock where the Purple Cloud could berth was a top priority. At the same time, the landing of two relatively large monomer goods is also a test.
How do these two come ashore?
Rebuild, we don't have the ability of other traversers, and thousands of tons of equipment will fall ashore at will.
The location was chosen, 800 meters south of the old pier, and according to tests, the ground could withstand more than 500 tons. And you can only choose high-pile docks.
High Pile Pier. It is composed of foundation pile and superstructure, the lower part of the pile is driven into the soil, and the upper part of the wharf is higher than the water surface, which is a permeable structure, and the waves and water flow can pass below the level of the wharf, and the waves are not reflected, and the flood discharge is not affected, and the siltation can be reduced, which is suitable for soft soil foundation.
The JISHU staff of the port department also made a detailed deduction in advance, and not only prepared the relevant building materials, but also modified the necessary equipment.
Diesel hammer piledrivers are one of them. As soon as they bought the equipment, they retrofitted it and did the supporting work to make it suitable for offshore and onshore operations. In fact, in that shijie, there is no equipment in the entire pile foundation industry that does not modify equipment, who cares? There is really a security department to take care of it, a meal, a red envelope to complete the work.
The diesel hammer pile driver uses 1.8 tons, 2.5 tons of diesel hammer, the steel rope can withstand the tensile force of 6 tons, 25 tons of shelves, the longest can drive 28 meters of piles, it is 27 meters high, 7 meters wide.
As for its lifespan, the jishu members hope that it will survive three years. Of course, after a complete breakdown, other equipment can also be modified.
In the eyes of the jishu members, there is no equipment that cannot be changed to other uses. I'll talk about that later.
The piles are made of steel pipes with a diameter of 600 mm coated with anti-seawater corrosion paint. When the pretreatment was done, the director of the steel pipe factory also recommended to them a composite anti-corrosion steel pipe containing fiberglass, claiming that it was definitely more anti-corrosion than the former. But he was resolutely refused, which made people stunned. Of course, the director of the factory didn't think that the Jishu staff were thinking about reusing it in the future, rather than actually using it as a pile. After the cement energy is produced, it has to be used for other purposes. A device must have at least two uses, and a red heart with multiple preparations is the right way.
What Wu Hualong saw was the piling machine that was first installed on the Zichuan, which was desperately laying the first pile.
He watched as the huge pillar of iron was thrown into the sea in one fell swoop. Wu Hualong suddenly felt powerless, his hundred-year-old elm stick, was it a little too ridiculous in front of it. As the ground shook, he went limp.
Wu Hualong under the city is looking at the scenery, and Director Sun Defa in the city is looking at him. Wu Hualong's arrival had already been discovered by the security personnel, and the information was quickly transmitted to Director Sun Defa.
Looking at the rare Mingren peddler with a sturdy body in the binoculars, staring at the pile driver in amazement, Director Sun Defa thought happily: "What a coincidence? Thinking about it, you are here. ”
He called Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang was called not because he was the manager of the chemical department, but because he was helping the people of the finance company to clean up several seized merchant ships of the East India Company, which were on the dock.
Originally, there were four merchant ships, one of which was sunk, and the rest were still in good condition. Before the cleanup, the same epidemic prevention team carried out disinfection first, not only spraying formalin, but also putting bleach solution. Although there is no record of military service in Taiwan during this period of history, it is always right to be careful.
All four merchant ships were from Japan.
In real history, from the mid-16th century to the early 17th century, there were trading relations between Japan and merchants from Spain, Portugal, and other countries. But the Japanese have different titles for them.
Needless to say, the Ming people are the people of the kingdom. They called the merchants of Portugal, Spain, and other countries who established colonies and trading bases in ports and islands from India to Southeast Asia, and tried to expand their trade to Northeast Asia.
"Nanban" was originally the name of the Chinese Central Plains civilization for the ethnic groups of different cultures in the south, which was discriminatory under Chinese thought. The word was borrowed by the Japanese. From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty is still quite influential in Japan.
For the Dutch, they are open to the net and directly called the red-haired people. This may have to do with the fact that the Dutch merchants were far more realistic than the Spanish and Portuguese merchants, and that they were mercantilistic and did not pay much attention to the ideological sphere, unlike the Portuguese, who always wanted to play a trick with religion.
Thinking about the later history, the British would rather die than kowtow to the Manchu emperor, while the Dutch, when called to kneel, kneel, as long as they agree to trade. Even in order to be able to trade, you can leave your senior staff to the Japanese.
This incident was the Hamada Ya Guard incident, and in a few words, the Dutch raised taxes on the Ming merchants like the Japanese merchants, and the Ming merchants endured it, and the Japanese reversed. Among them, Hamada Ya guards behaved violently, and in the enemy army, they captured the opponent's personnel alive and fled back to Japan as hostages. Then Japan wielded the stick of a five-year blockade of commerce and trade, subdued the Dutch, and handed over the perpetrators. That's when the re-trade began. Little Japan, your sister's true line...... It's a shame that it's all real history.
Chairman Wu Dapeng really likes the characteristics of the Dutch business, so he directly attacked them. Rest assured, the Dutch will endure it, as long as there will be trade and money to be made.
From June to November every year, the Dutch shipped raw silk and porcelain purchased from Ming merchants, as well as deerskin, sugar, and lead from Taiwan, to Japan. Silver and gold were then shipped back from Japan and purchased from Ming merchants. The difference is huge.
Of course, there are other goods, which are not listed one by one. Historical sources testify that in just two months in 1637, they brought back 2 million miles of silver!
weishenme we Ming businessmen don't do it? Because the Ming government thinks that its national conditions are different, it is banning the sea. Only those who dare to smuggle will get rich.
Therefore, the traversers are looking forward to these merchant ships, especially after checking their cargo lists. But the steps that need to be taken must be taken, and if there is no hurry, they will not run.
Today, it's time to start counting.
Compared with gold and silver, Wang Qiang expects that it is full of sulfur, and it is all 99% pure.
After the crossing, Wang Qiang has not found a sense of existence, their chemical department has been dismantled several times, the personnel are scattered, and the worst is still transporting timber at the mouth of the river. There is really no way, they can't use it now, they can only be basic laborers.
He was looking forward to it, but he received an order from Director Sun Defa to contact a picker to buy all the stones.
He looked in the direction he pointed out, and there was really a hawker watching the bustle. Director Sun, you are really good, you work the same, you really have a sense of the overall situation, and you can still see that there are hawkers coming.
Wang Qiang was afraid of scaring the other party, so he walked over slowly, thinking to himself, looking at the stupid appearance of that vendor, a few words are still not done?
Wang Qiang was unimpressed by Gao De's behavior of making friends with the Ming people, and the gap of more than 300 years could not be made up in any way. Besides, he hated the kind of lewdness that Mingren did. You see, when the peddler saw himself coming, he began to nod his head again.
Wu Hualong saw someone walking towards him, and judging from the way he walked, this person had never practiced martial arts. It was certainly not his opponent, and no one else followed.
He was relieved and hurriedly made a respectful appearance.
Thanks to the strange old friend Mei Lezhi, Speechless Reading, Drunk and Not Messy, and Qihuo, the four book friends, in today's extremely low time, when I can't find me on all the pages, the old friends are still silently supporting me.
Could this be a legend in the online literature world?
