The matter about the selection of the military chief officer of Xingang was like dropping a pebble in a pond, although it caused a little splash, but there was no follow-up report from the relevant departments, and the situation quickly calmed down. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) and Meng He, who had been clamoring to overturn the military and police department to dig out the truth, suddenly became dumbfounded, not only took down the press release at the top of the forum, but also vetoed Luo Wudan's request to dig into the inside story of the matter, so that she turned her attention to the preparations for the overseas base that are currently in full swing to report.

Although Luo Wudan also questioned Meng He, Meng He kept silent and did not want to mention Qian Tiandun's matter again. When Luo Wudan went to the carpentry shop to visit Qian Tiandun again, he found that he had been transferred out of here, and it was said that he had gone to the recruit camp to pick people, so he had no choice but to stop. The new barracks is a military restricted area to the outside world, and even if you cross the crowd, you need to get permission from the military police department to enter, and Luo Wudan is obviously unlikely to obtain such a qualification now.

Soon another real event occupied the front page of the forum, and all the gossip news had to give way in front of this matter, and even Luo Wudan had to obey the arrangement and obediently bring a voice recorder and DV to the scene to do an interview.

On July 7, 1627, the twenty-fifth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Tianduhe Hydropower Station project, which took a total of 82 days, was finally completed.

Although Liu Shanxia of the Ministry of Construction kept saying that the package would be completed before the flood season, in fact, the flood season had quietly come at the end of June. Fortunately, the main body of the dam had been completed by that time, and only the hoisting of the generators had not yet been completed, and the slightly rising river water did not cause much trouble to the project builders. Because the entire project process was quite smooth, and the final completion time was within the planned construction period, no one would pursue the military order made by Liu Shanxia before the start of construction.

The designed installed capacity of the Tianduhe Hydropower Station is two 150kW diagonal turbine generators, with a total maximum power of 300kW. The reason why two generators with less power are equipped instead of using one 320kw francis turbine generator in the warehouse is also due to the convenience of the two generators in maintenance and repair. Otherwise, if there is a problem in the operation of the generator, the entire power supply system will fall into complete paralysis.

This installed capacity is naturally pitifully small from the perspective of future generations, but considering that this is the first hydropower station to be actually put into use in this time and space, and the appearance of hydropower stations in the original history has been advanced by more than 200 years, the time-travelers can proudly regard this small hydropower station as a cross-era Zenith technology. With the power provided by this hydropower station, the technical level of metallurgy, machining, chemical and other projects will be qualitatively improved in the short term, and this improvement cannot be achieved by manpower.

The Tianduhe Hydropower Station does not end here in the energy planning of the crossing group, and this is only the first experimental field for hydropower development by the traversers. When the conditions are ripe, the Ministry of Construction will start the construction of the second hydropower station on the hillside just a few hundred meters away from the hydropower station, which is built on the original site of the Songhe Reservoir in the later generations, and the scale of the hydropower station is much larger than that of the small hydropower station in Tianduhe, with a designed installed capacity of more than 1,200kw, which is enough to supply the power demand of the upper reaches of the Tianduhe River industrial zone in the future. In the long-term plan, the relevant departments have even included the two water systems of the Sanya River and the Linchun River in the original urban area of Sanya, as well as the two large reservoirs of the Banling Reservoir and the Water Source Reservoir on the edge of the urban area.

When the foundation stone of the hydropower station was laid, the Executive Committee did not hold any decent celebration ceremony, but the completion of the hydropower station is of great significance to the future development of the Group. For this reason, most of the construction sites and units have announced a day off, which also gives the local workers a chance to see the leadership of the group.

The holiday was so well arranged that the crowd of onlookers from all over the neighborhood exceeded 1,000 people, so much so that the Military Police Department had to transfer all the first cadets of the boot camp to the venue to maintain order. In order to avoid chaos, the Executive Committee had to temporarily cancel the plan to broadcast recordings of firecrackers through loudspeakers, which would have caused a serious accident of mass deaths and injuries, and there was no need to take this risk for the sake of the celebration.

The local workers who were watching naturally didn't quite understand why the leaders of the Haihan people stood in a row and cut a red cloth belt, but when they heard the news that all the meat was served for free at dinner today, the workers also shouted excitedly, and many of them learned the Haihan people's way of celebration and applauded vigorously to express their joy.

And the good news waiting for them is not only this, Tao Donglai also announced at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that the third commune carpentry commune and the fourth commune construction commune will start to sign up for recruitment from now on. The Carpentry Commune mainly recruits local workers who have previously worked in carpentry shops, charcoal kilns, wood drying rooms, shipyards, and logging teams, while the Construction Commune mainly recruits local workers who have been working on construction sites such as hydropower stations, factories, and iron mines, as well as participating in the construction of the improvised road from Shengli Port to Base No. 2.

This good news caused a round of applause from the audience. Since the implementation of the labor hierarchy policy of the Crossing Group, local workers have begun to be divided into internal and external workers, the "inside" refers to those who have obtained the commune membership and moved into the commune's collective living quarters, and the "outside" refers to those local workers who have not yet obtained the commune membership qualification.

Internally, the crossing group gives high welfare treatment to the members, not only free accommodation, three meals a day, even medical care, education and other expenses will be reduced or exempted according to the labor level of the members, and a small amount of negotiable coupons are issued as wages every month.

Externally, ordinary local workers naturally do not have access to these benefits, and no matter which unit they work in, they will only provide food during working hours, and can only eat themselves in the morning and evening. Medical care and education are no longer completely free as they were when the Haihan people first arrived. And recently, the prices of ironware, salt, and grain sold by the Haihan people have begun to rise slightly, which is undoubtedly bad news for the already poor locals. But these changes have no effect on the members of the commune, according to those who have relatives into the commune, the iron farming tools in the commune are uniformly distributed without spending money to buy, the same is true for grain, as for salt, it is said that each member can receive two taels of refined salt every month as a reward for full attendance, and this year can save at least one tael of silver!

What makes the local workers most angry is that their wages have not changed even after working under the Haihan for several months. As long as you join the commune and become a member, your salary will immediately increase, and you can also accumulate labor points to upgrade your rank. It is said that some of the first fishermen to enter the commune have been promoted to the rank of third-class laborers, who can serve as foremen on the construction site, and their corresponding remuneration is three times that of ordinary laborers, which makes many people red-eyed for valuable membership qualifications.

All kinds of differential treatment made the local workers always look forward to joining the commune as soon as possible and becoming a glorious Haihan member, but after the Haihan people were recruited twice, they stopped recruiting members and maintained only two communes. In order to obtain better living conditions, many young people had to choose another path and sign up for the militia organized by the Haihan people. Although joining the militia is also a good way out, there is food, shelter and salary, family members can enter the commune, and I will directly obtain the membership qualification after retiring, but for the people who have families and rooms, many people are still unwilling to take the risk of becoming a soldier to fight in exchange for this qualification.

Now that the crossing group has opened the door to the commune again, the local workers with normal thinking ability are unwilling to miss this opportunity to join the commune, if they can't enter this time, who knows when the Haihan people will recruit members next time. Moreover, those who are a little smarter will realize that there are as many as a thousand local laborers who are currently working on various construction sites and have not yet obtained membership qualifications, and according to the establishment of Haihan people, it is certainly impossible for the two communes to recruit so many people, and a considerable number of people will definitely lose in this competition. The only way to increase your chances of success is to sign up as soon as possible, so as soon as the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over, the commune registration office on the other side was already crowded, and the military police department even had to urgently transfer a platoon of security guards to maintain order at the registration point.

With the completion of the construction of the Tianduhe Hydropower Station, the Group's manpower struggle, which had been in a difficult situation for several months, was finally alleviated, and a large amount of labor freed up from the hydropower station site will be invested in the construction of nearby factories. The large machine-processing equipment that had been stored on the New World began to be unloaded piece by piece, and the large iron lumps were transported from Shengli Port to the inland industrial area in specially reinforced flatbed ox carts. In the next two or three months, the large-scale factory construction project in the industrial zone will be the main theme of the group.

During this period, however, the labor force is first transferred to another place for large-scale collective work, which is the farm in the Tiandohe Valley. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Agriculture, the local grain crops will be planted mainly in two crops, supplemented by a small amount of miscellaneous grains. Now that it is July, the rice that has been rushed after the crossing has reached the harvest season, after which the land must be ploughed and the second crop of rice will be sown in the second half of the year.
