Chapter 21: Meeting (1)

After dinner, the time is a daily routine meeting, and the heads of various departments and construction projects must attend this meeting, make a brief summary of today's work in all aspects, and then communicate the work arrangements for the next day. As part of the project acceptance process, today's meeting will be fortunate to move into the prefabricated house that has just been completed in the afternoon. Of course, this meeting room looks relatively simple, with three folding tables made of long strip-shaped tables, a circle of folding stools, and the drinks provided at the meeting are also very limited, only boiled water and eagle tea. Of course, there are no restrictions on the participants bringing their own drinks, so there are also literary and artistic young people who come to the meeting with Starbucks mugs.

As a special treatment of the Executive Committee, the conference room has been prioritized with photovoltaic panels on the roof and indoor lighting, and the soft light from the LED ceiling lamps on the ceiling gives everyone the illusion of returning to the old time and space. According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Energy, photovoltaic power generation systems will be laid on the roofs of all prefabricated houses to meet the basic needs of the people in the No. 1 base for electricity. In the future, when crossing the public to go to other places to open mines, these prefabricated houses with convenient loading and unloading plus photovoltaic power generation systems will also be fully utilized.

At present, the construction of the No. 1 base is still the most important infrastructure project, so first of all, it is a summary of the work from the Ministry of Construction, as the boss of the Ministry of Construction, this report should have been done by Tao Donglai, but because he wears many hats, and this day has been almost busy with the affairs of the Ming Army for half a day, so the command work on the construction site today is completed by Liu Shanxia, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Construction.

Liu Shanxia is now Chinese New Year's Eve years old, a native of Jiangxi, single, and worked as a project manager in a real estate development company under the name of Tao Donglai before the crossing, which is commonly known as the contractor. Liu Shanxia joined at the end of last year, and at the beginning of this year, he also went to the manufacturer of the prefabricated house to receive half a month of technical training, so the construction of the prefabricated house of the No. 1 base is basically in charge of on-site command and dispatch.

The dark-skinned Liu Shanxia began the summary report in a Jianghuai official dialect: "...... At present, the piling and reinforcement work of the temporary wharf of Shengli Port has been completed, and the construction progress of the prefabricated house of the No. 1 base is about 90% completed, and the installation of doors and windows, the rooftop photovoltaic power generation system and the laying of indoor electrified lighting lines will be completed tomorrow...... By the way, in fact, there is no problem in arranging some people to move in tonight. The water treatment system of the No. 1 base has been installed in place before dinner, and it is expected that the trial operation will start tomorrow morning at the latest, so that Mr. Bai will no longer have to face the wrath of the Women's Federation. ”

Someone in the crowd let out a low laugh, and many people saw the scene of Ruisha angrily scolding Bai Kesi this morning, and the scene of Bai Kesi and Gu Kai being trained speechless by foreign girls has been spread as a joke in the camp. If nothing else, there should be a significant number of machismo defenders on the forums and feminists starting to spray each other at this point.

Tao Donglai coughed dryly and said, "Don't talk too far about the topic, let's get down to business, what about the other work arrangements tomorrow?"

Liu Shanxia flipped through the pages of his notebook: "Tomorrow, in addition to completing the installation of the prefabricated house, we will also start preparing to build a charcoal kiln for burning charcoal, a wood drying room, a small lime kiln and a salt drying field near the sea. The construction site has been determined, but our existing building materials reserves are very limited, according to the plan, most of them have to be reserved for the construction of small hydropower in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River, I have built a lot of limestone, gypsum and clay mines, the cement production line first, and the equipment for unfired bricks has to be debugged as much as possible before we can talk about the follow-up construction plan. As for the information and location of these mines, the Ministry of Information Industry has already prepared, but our Ministry of Construction is now limited in the number of people that can be mobilized, and it is unlikely that we will start the projects I just mentioned at the same time, let alone spare more manpower to open mines, so I hope that the Executive Committee can tilt towards us in terms of policy, at least to ensure our needs in terms of manpower. ”

"It takes a lot of people to open a mine. Ning Qi, who is currently in charge of human resources deployment, responded in a low voice.

"Didn't we capture dozens of Ming prisoners today? These are all good laborers, and I apply that these people be assigned to the Ministry of Construction first. Liu Shanxia unabashedly exposed his true purpose.

"There are so many people in total, you want them all with one mouth, isn't it a bit of a suspicion of eating alone?"

Liu Shanxia was obviously fully prepared for the possible situation, shook his head and retorted: "I'm not eating alone, to put it mildly, now all the projects under construction are in the responsibility of our Ministry of Construction, if I don't have enough manpower here to stop work, then all follow-up projects have to stop and wait." Comrades, time is money! Isn't it good to give me the labor force one day earlier, so that everyone can move into an apartment and take a hot shower one day earlier?"

When it comes to topics that matter to everyone, this deprives the participants of the motivation to refute. The most difficult thing to adapt to after traveling to this time and space is not the hot and humid climate or the heavy physical labor, but the poor living conditions. In the eyes of most people, it seems that they can't find enough security and belonging without a cottage of their own. If you want to get welfare housing as soon as possible, you must not bypass the Ministry of Construction, so supporting the work of the Ministry of Construction seems to be the only option. But only most, but not all, people think so, for example, the Ministry of Shipping does not agree with this manpower allocation plan.

"I don't agree to hand over all the Ming troops captured today to the Ministry of Construction!" Sun Changmi raised his hand to show his attitude. Although Yue Zhiyun, who was sitting next to him, did not speak, his calm expression showed that his views were consistent with Sun Changmi's, which also represented the attitude of the Ministry of Shipping.

"Yue Zhiyun and I went to see the ship just now, according to the captive, it is called the Haicang Ship, simply put, we can think of it as a small fortune ship, the displacement is about 80 tons, the ship board is made of fir wood, the mast is camphor wood, the hull is waterproof with a mixture of tung oil, oyster shell ash and hemp silk, and the connection between the hull of the ship board uses a lot of iron nails, all kinds of iron nails, square nails, shovel nails, flat nails, curium nails, ......"

"Is it okay to get to the point?" Some people are a little impatient with the list of these details, after all, not everyone will have an interest in studying the sea ships of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's to the point. Sun Changmi was not unhappy because he was interrupted, and continued: "With our current conditions, it will take six to eight months to replicate such a ship, and this must be under the premise of preparing the ship's materials. Considering that we have to build a new shipyard, this will be extended by at least a month. ”

There was a round of head-to-ear exchange from the crowd. Everyone knows very well that Sanya is not the end of the great cause, but the www.biquge.info of Biquge, but to carry out the plan of expanding the territory, shipping is undoubtedly an indispensable and important link. As a professional, Sun Changmi, obviously not optimistic about the foreseeable shipbuilding plan, which made everyone a little uneasy It took half a year to build a lucky ship with a displacement of less than 100 tons, so how many years will it take to see the appearance of a fleet galloping across the ocean?

Tao Donglai and Ning Qi discussed in a whisper before asking, "Then the Ministry of Shipping thinks that among the Ming troops captured today, there are people who can come in handy?"

"That's right. Sun Changmi was very satisfied that Tao Donglai could hear his own voice, nodded and said: "I have read the interrogation records, among the ten sailors, three of them have worked in the shipyard and have a certain amount of experience in shipbuilding, and this kind of proficiency can greatly shorten the time required for shipbuilding." In addition, the ship will need these sailors for the time being, until we train our own sailors, because none of us can handle the Chinese hard sails on the ship at the moment. ”

"Chinese-style sailing ships are inconvenient to operate and slow to operate, so why don't we just build Western-style sailing boats? The speed of schooners should be much faster than that of Fuchuan, right?"

"Schooners have a lot of advantages, but we can't build them yet...... To be precise, it won't be used for the time being. Yue Zhiyun took over: "Because we can't make sails and rigging on our own for the time being, as for when schooners can be used, it depends on when the Ministry of Agriculture will grow cotton, or when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can make the first transaction of imported canvas." ”

The members of the Executive Committee are well aware that in the development plan of the Ministry of Agriculture, grain and livestock are the first priority, followed by cash crops. The climatic conditions in Hainan are not ideal for planting cotton, not that it cannot be planted, but to plant cotton in a large area in the mountainous Tianduhe Valley, which is not very scientific in the view of the Ministry of Agriculture, so in the future period, I am afraid that a considerable part of the cloth, including canvas, will have to be imported from other places. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is in charge of foreign affairs and commerce, must rely on a fleet of ships of a certain size to do import and export trade, so the topic returns to the www.biquge.info When will the Ministry of Shipping be able to build a working ship?"

"I think so, the next job of the shipping department is to select a site for the shipyard, and Lao Bai is responsible for the preparation of wood drying room and ship materials. The ten sailors captured today can be allocated to the Ministry of Shipping first. Xiao Sun, I know that you have prepared a lot of shipbuilding materials for a long time, and your shipping department will try its best to improve the construction plan according to the entity, and strive to start construction as soon as the ship materials are in place. In the end, it was Tao Donglai who patted the board, and forcibly pulled out ten people from the hands of the people who were originally assigned to the Ministry of Construction.

Then the Ministry of Agriculture made a report by Yuan Qiuye, his old man Yuan Ruoxiu was frightened in the afternoon in a small fishing village, and his spirit was not very good, so he rested after dinner. According to the survey of the Ministry of Agriculture, the location of the fishing village west of Shengli Port is not suitable for large-scale development of cultivated land, and after repeated investigation and comprehensive consideration of the development situation of later generations, the Ministry of Agriculture believes that the area along the east bank of the Tiandu River is the most suitable area for agricultural cultivation within the current controllable range. The terrain is flat, the density of trees is small, and it is very convenient to divert water for irrigation. According to the Ministry of Agriculture's estimates, even half of the area would be enough to feed three to four thousand people.

Then there is the work report of the Ministry of Energy, according to the joint team to the upper reaches of the Tiandu River today's field survey, the Ministry of Energy gave a two-level hydropower construction plan. That is, a small hydropower station was erected in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River, and a small dam was also built in the later generations at the site of the site, because the terrain was flat, so the construction difficulty was small, but at the same time, there was also a situation that the water storage capacity was small, and the generator set may not be able to fully function. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy believes that this hydropower station on the river can only install two small power 150kw oblique turbine generators, and later build a dam to install generators at the location of the Songhe Reservoir next to the Tiandu Iron Mine, this place is located on the mountain, the water source mainly comes from many springs in the nearby mountains instead of the Tiandu River, the water storage and terrain difference are relatively large, will be used as the main power plant for industrial production and power generation in the future, and it is planned to install four 320kw Francis turbine generators. At the same time, the two hydropower stations, one high and one low, are only a few hundred meters apart, and it will be much less difficult to implement grid-connected power generation in the future.

Of course, the construction of the dam of the reservoir is still a medium- and long-term plan, the current plan is to build a small hydropower station on the Tiandu River first, and the dam body of the reservoir on the mountain will have to wait until the local cement plant is put into operation, and the building materials brought by the crossing are barely enough to build a dam on the Tiandu River, let alone repair the reservoir. Later, Sanya was rich in hydropower resources, and the first hydropower station on the Tiandu River was also seen as a good opportunity to accumulate experience by the joint development office of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy. However, in the future, large-scale hydropower development will have to wait until the industrial sector produces qualified bearing steel, after all, there are only a few hydroelectric generators in the materials, and sooner or later they will have to build their own generators.

Another problem that must be solved is that the location of the hydropower station planned by the Ministry of Energy is nearly 20 miles away from the No. 1 base on the shore of Shengli Port, and there is no land transportation at present. Although the corresponding plans and programs have been made in advance, it is still difficult to get to the end. The heads of various departments frowned and stared at the map hanging on the wall, and among the place names marked on it, the four names of the first hydropower station, the second hydropower station, the Tiandu iron ore mine and the industrial base were almost connected, and a large circle was drawn with a red pen on the periphery, clearly marked with the words No. 2 base.
