Chapter 14: A Long Day (4)
Tao Donglai dared to say this is not blindly optimistic about the revolutionary shape, according to historical records, Yazhou Water Village is also a battalion of sailors, more than ten boats, full of about 500 people, considering the Ming Dynasty army at this time in the general phenomenon of empty pay and reclamation of military cantonments, both the number of soldiers and combat effectiveness are very suspicious. Although he has not yet seen the true face of the Ming Dynasty army, Tao Donglai is almost certain that the four 100-ton iron-hulled fishing boats in the fleet can level the fleet of Yazhou Shuizhai. If the Yazhou garrison doesn't come, if it really comes, it will be the rhythm of delivering food to the door.
The labor force in Yacheng can't be counted on for a while, but it seems that the nearby fishermen can also take advantage of it, and there are dozens of people anyway, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. When the fisherman's father and son finished eating, Tao Donglai asked Zhou Hengxing to tell them that they could go back and inform the villagers to come to work at the construction site here, and the reward could be grain, salt or silver. When they were done, they were filled with ten pounds of rice and a small bag of salt, and told them that they could take their things and go home. The two fishermen couldn't believe it, and hesitated for a long time before they took their things and left.
This was only a minor episode in the landing operation, and the command soon got back into the hectic work. Now that the "New World" has docked at the dock, a steady stream of cargo has begun to move from the ship to the depot on the shore.
The Ministry of Industry's power team is pulling power lines from the ship to the temporary headquarters on the shore through a series of pontoons to ensure that Base 1 can be lit before dark. Although the power of the generators on the "New World" is also relatively limited, it is barely enough to supply the current domestic electricity under unified control. After a day or two of the prefabricated house of the No. 1 base is built, the photovoltaic power generation system can be installed on the roof, and there is no need to worry about the problem of living electricity at that time.
Under the leadership of Wu Zhuo, the communications team of the Ministry of Information Industry also began to debug the communication system that had just been transported off the ship. Wu Zhuo bought a set of PHS systems that were eliminated from telecommunications two years ago, and Wu Zhuo bought them from his comrades-in-arms who had transferred to a local telecommunications company, and purchased more than 900 PHS mobile phones that were pressed in the telecom warehouse and not shipped during the same period. As long as a few base station power amplifiers are installed on the nearby mountains, this communication system can basically cover the narrow river valley from Shengli Port to Tiandu Coal Mine. With the help of the logging team, the communications team had erected a 15-meter-high trunk at Base 1 to use as an antenna frame, and then notified the command to hurry up and accept the project, because they would also face heavy one-to-one semicolon registration work. More than 400 people, plus so many large and small units, all have to be equipped with phone numbers, which is enough for the four or five people in the communication group to be busy for most of the day.
The acceptance of this kind of thing must be done by the leader, so the call between Tao Donglai and the "New World" was also named "historical" by the telecommunications department of later generations, but the strange thing is that the content of this highly symbolic call was not recorded, so that future generations are very sorry when they study this history.
"This is the cooking class. â
"What's the menu for tonight?"
"Roast beef with potatoes!"
"How is it the same as noon? Can you change the dish in the evening?"
"Do you think it's easy to make something that hundreds of people eat? You can change it if you want, who the are you!"
"I'm Tao Dong, who are you?"
"You don't even know who I am?"
"I don't know!"
"Great, goodbye!"
â......â
In any case, the fact that the communication system can be put into operation in the shortest possible time is definitely a good thing to celebrate. On the whole, the landing operation and the construction of the base on the first day can be said to be smooth, and there are only a few work-related injuries, all of which are minor injuries such as scratching the skin on the foot during construction, and there is no major problem after timely treatment by the medical team. By the time of dinner, the foundation had been leveled and tents had been erected, drainage ditches had been dug inside and outside the base, a ring of wooden stakes had been made around the perimeter, barbed wire had been pulled, and two simple wooden watchtowers six meters high had been erected.
The barbed wire fence was not pulled for fear that someone would attack the base at night, but mainly to prevent some unknowable beast from breaking into the forest. A total of 10 large tents have been set up in accommodation, of which two are allocated to girls, six to boys, and two for families. In consideration of health and environmental problems, the livestock shacks under the Ministry of Agriculture were still some distance away from the base, so a few people headed by Yuan Qiuye insisted on camping in a place closer to the livestock shacks, and finally the executive committee had to agree to their application, but for the sake of safety, the military police team also went to four people and was on duty in two shifts at night.
More than 400 of the 450 men will stay at the base tonight, while the rest will be housed in separate boats. In addition, a group of North American gangsters have collectively chosen to continue to live on the boat, and it is no wonder that at least on those two sailing boats they have their own separate bedrooms, and they have a rare personal space in the context of collective living. Even Tao Donglai regretted it a little, he should have been a little selfish and left a little money to buy a sailing yacht like this.
After dinner, Command halted all construction work, and those who had worked hard all day were free to arrange the rest of the day. However, the command still reminded everyone not to leave the base too far, because if you go further inland, you may encounter the Li people, and if you don't understand the language, there may be some misunderstandings. Most people chose to rest at the base, after all, after moving bricks for a day, the consumption of the body lĂŹ has been extremely large, even if they want to toss something, they don't have the strength. Only a few children excitedly ran to the beach to play, seemingly unaware that they had arrived in another time and space.
The responsible persons of the various departments cannot rest at the moment, and they must meet in the tent of the headquarters to sum up the progress of today's work on the one hand, and at the same time coordinate and arrange tomorrow's work.
Tao Donglai first pointed out that the chaos caused by the mistakes of the headquarters in the morning directly delayed the process of building the floating wharf, and all the members of the headquarters were responsible for the leadership, but fortunately, there were no major forks in the follow-up work, and finally did not have much impact on the landing plan. An important reason for this confusion is that the command overestimated the role of walkie-talkies in advance, thinking that as long as each department was allocated walkie-talkies, it would be able to do it like an arm, but in actual operation, it was found that because there were too many people on the same channel, there would often be a situation of many people talking about one thing, and the noise of a large number of construction machinery also led to the fact that people on the construction site were very likely to ignore the call on the walkie-talkie.
However, with the establishment of the PHS system, this problem can be solved, and the command can achieve point-to-point accurate command with one number per person, and maximize the efficiency. But with that comes a new problem, and that is the distribution of phone numbers. According to the habits of Chinese people, they always like to choose some of their favorite numbers when picking numbers, and this habit has of course also been brought to a new time and space. But it was obviously impossible for the Telecom Group to send everyone a 6 or 8 number, so the unfair method of specifying the number was simply abandoned.
The number distribution scheme taken out by the communication group is very simple, private phones all start with "10", the last four digits are drawn by the number user, and the same is handled in the order of first come, first served, as for whether it can be shaken to a series of eight or six, it all depends on luck. For example, the telephone of the Ministry of Industry can start with "2x", the Ministry of Agriculture uses "3x", and so on, and it is also convenient to code the departments and groups under each department.
Of course, as a leader, there is still a little bit of privilege. For example, Tao Donglai was happy to receive the very symbolic number of 100001, although PHS was not a high-end thing for the former big tyrant, but this kind of treatment still satisfied his vanity a little. After playing PHS for a long time, Tao Donglai suddenly came back to his senses: "I said Wu Zhuo, 100001 doesn't seem to be the first number, right?"
Wu Zhuo was busy shaking the origami group for the people behind, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "That's no nonsense, we don't plan to release the 100,000 number, there are so many ** who like small numbers, and if you release it, you have to let these people break their heads...... I'm going to keep it for the telecom company's service number in the future. â
Tao Donglai wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the headquarters, and everyone registered the number in about ten minutes, and then the communication group went to the tent under the leadership of Wu Zhuo.
The meeting continued, and the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Yuan Ruoxiu, stood up: "Please give me some time to say a few words." â
The old man opened his mouth, and naturally no one would object. Food is the foundation of a safe life, and the Executive Committee still attaches great importance to the opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Old man Yuan mainly talked about two points: first, agricultural land should be reclaimed as much as possible, and only when there is grain at hand can we not panic; second, the arrangement of manpower and material resources must be tilted towards the Ministry of Agriculture, otherwise when these people from the Ministry of Agriculture open up the wasteland and farm the land themselves, it is estimated that the last few hundred people will have to starve to death in Sanya.
In fact, the proportion of grain in the list of materials prepared by the Executive Committee is quite large, and even if these hundreds of people do nothing, the nearly 500 tons of grain loaded on the "New World" will be enough for everyone to eat for a full year. But Old Man Yuan's words are right, if you want to take root in Sanya, it is obviously not enough to rely on these hundreds of people in front of you, and the expansion of the population will inevitably bring food problems. Now it seems like enough to feed a few hundred people for a year, but what if the population doubles or more?
The responsible persons of various departments have put forward their opinions and suggestions one after another, and the executive committee has also made some adjustments to the original plan according to the actual situation reflected. It was only when most of them had fallen asleep that the meeting in the command headquarters ended. After the meeting ended, Yan Chujie also personally went to the various duty posts under the Military Police Department to make sure that the pre-arranged arrangements were implemented step by step, and then used a tablet computer to log in to the forum that had just been restored. Yan Chujie knew that when he came back from pressing the two fishermen prisoners today, he was pointed at all the way because he was dressed too ostentatiously, presumably at this time, those self-employed five people had already angrily sprayed on the forum, "Yan Chujie is a big cent hidden in the executive committee", as the most loyal guardian of the executive committee, Yan Chujie will never let go of these unhealthy tendencies that take the ultra-left line!
Before I knew it, the first day after crossing was spent in a busy way.
