The delegation set up camp in the Sunset Valley, and Li Fushou took a group of personal guards cavalry to gallop on horseback and ran forward for seven or eight kilometers until the edge of the forest at the foot of the mountain did not stop.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the layers of mountains, and the scenery looks even more majestic and magnificent.

Li Fushou stood on the hill and pointed forward with the whip in his hand with pride; "Old Fu, old Lei, we have traveled all the way to this vast hilly area, if it is on the mainland, it is thousands of hectares of fertile land, and it is vertical and horizontal, but we can't see such an undeveloped primitive ecology for thousands of years, it is really magnificent!"

"Yes, sir, our hometown Jiangxi has a lot of people and little land, the villages are planted with crops, beans, and terraces are opened up on the mountains to grow food, where is this large area of land barren, which can feed hundreds of thousands of people, so wasteful will make you feel sorry for the dead!" Lei Xiao said.

From Longmen Town to more than 80 kilometers of gentle hilly areas here, I don't know how much grain can be produced and how many people can be fed in a year?

The coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangxi are all small and populous, and there is a serious shortage of food, and the bad habit of drowning girls is prevalent in many ignorant rural areas, and the phenomenon of infant drowning and abandonment in Zhejiang is very serious, especially in Jinhua, followed by Wenzhou and Taizhou.

Guangdong's "style of spoiling women is the same everywhere", and Hunan's "customs have always had bad habits of drowning women...... unbreakable", Jiangxi "is suspected of giving birth to a daughter, and every one is drowning".

Baby towers can be seen everywhere in the countryside and fields, and the children born can only be thrown into the baby tower ruthlessly......

Looking back and looking at this fertile field, how can you not make Lei Xiao, Fu Peng, and others sigh.

"So...... We welcome immigrants with open hands, there is endless fertile land to be developed, which can help millions of immigrants live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, and can make a modest contribution to the Chinese people who have the same blood, I hope that it is enough! ”

"The old man's benevolent heart touches the heavens and the earth, and Bo can follow the left and right, which is really a blessing for three lives." Fu Peng said what was from his heart.

He looked at the high-spirited commander in front of him with reverence, shining in the golden light of the setting sun, looking even more extraordinary.

Over the past seven years, more than 2 million Chinese immigrants have benefited from Australia's immigration policy, and there will be more in the future, which is particularly admirable.

Save a life, win a seventh-level floating slaughter.

Over the years, the Eagle School has adopted more than 600,000 orphaned teenagers.

The noble virtue of benevolence and fraternity has an unimaginable charisma and cohesion, which is the fundamental reason why Fu Peng and Lin Leixiao are desperate to follow the earl.

"In the first half of my life, I followed Lord Futai (Gu Yanchuan) to the north and south, I have seen countless injustices, I have seen too many hardships and struggles, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to live. Lei Xiao, a strong man, had tears in his eyes, and he lowered his head in disguise and whispered; "The master is a living bodhisattva, and he must be sent by God to save us who are suffering from life, and I really hope that those who have no food or clothing will be brought to Australia to enjoy happiness."

"Old Lei, what you say is too big, and I can't take it!" Li Fushou sighed lightly, pinched the horse's belly between his legs and drove the horse to trot, and said with a hint of melancholy in his tone; "Australia is indeed vast and sparsely populated, fertile and fertile, but the carrying capacity of pastures for the population is limited, with today's ability to move seven or eight hundred thousand people a year is already the limit, plus Shangri-La and Borneo, there are millions of immigrants a year, and it is possible to increase some in the future, but this is just a drop in the bucket for the Manchu Empire."

"Why, sir?"

"I have more than enough heart, but I don't have enough strength! You must know that the population of the Manchu Empire today is as high as 40,000, and the number of people born every year is 10 million, which is more than three times the total population of Australia. ”

"Master, Lei has been taught."

The setting sun shone on a group of sturdy horsemen, who rode their horses over the wilderness hills, over the babbling streams, through the woods, and toward the camp in Sunset Valley.

After that, it was dangerous to climb over mountains and mountains for 4 consecutive days.

After entering the mountains, the speed slowed down suddenly, and the mule and horse team of the Observation Mission fell and killed 11 horses due to fright and accidental slipping, and 7 mules and 3 accompanying soldiers finally came to the Wolf Valley after a lot of hardship.

This is the valley where the expedition killed 14 wild wolves, hence the name "Wild Wolf Valley", this is a valley terrain between two tall mountain ranges, flanked by wide pebbled river beaches, rushing streams through it, because of the drop in the water is very fast, all the way to the downstream stretch downstream.

During the rainy season, the torrents that gather in the mountains pour down with an unstoppable momentum, covering all the pebble beaches on both sides, and the sound is extremely amazing.

It's mid-November, which coincides with the rainy season.

The rushing river is 100 meters wide, and the violent flood hits the boulders on the shore with a loud "boom" and rushes down.

According to the Longjin Highway Construction Plan;

A continuous bridge in the Wild Wolf Valley will be built here, with the main bridge deck up to 776 meters long and the approach bridge more than 2,300 meters, which is a large-scale control project and one of the difficult projects of three bridges and two tunnels.

The Wild Wolf Valley continuous bridge will be built with 21 large and small piers, which is the longest bridge designed in the entire Longjin Highway, of which the two main piers are 126 meters apart, and the steel arch structure is used in the design to cross the main river trough between the valleys.

When there are continuous torrential rains in the upper mountains, the torrents overflow the main channel and flood the entire valley.

Therefore, the bridge is a continuous steel arch structure bridge, consisting of a high main steel arch structure and many small steel arches on both sides of the bridge deck, like a rainbow across the entire Wolf Valley, so that Longjin Highway will no longer be threatened by flash floods.

High in the valley terrain

The construction team of the Wild Wolf Valley continuous bridge, which has more than 600 people, is building the approach bridge piers, which actually does not have much technical content.

Because the foundation rock is very strong, it is only necessary to clean up the floating soil and gravel during construction, blast out a pier foundation pothole more than two meters deep, enclose the bridge pier shape with wooden boards, add cement steel bars and large pieces of gravel, and layer by layer high.

The most important thing is the main pier, because of the large span, heavy load-bearing, the large steel components used are manufactured by the shipyard, and the minimum single steel components are more than 4 tons.

Ordinary tractors can't transport such large steel components, and high-horsepower tractors must be developed for this purpose, which is a later story.

Nowadays, there is no shadow of the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge.

A simple steel cable bridge was built on the river to connect the two banks, and a layer of wooden planks was laid at the bottom of the bridge, and the bridge was swaying non-stop, and there were only two bare steel cables on the bridge, not even a guardrail, which was really rudimentary.

Under the bridge is the raging torrent, which is a great test of people's psychological endurance.

In order to reduce the weight of the mules and horses, all the materials were carried across the steel bridge by manpower, and then the mules and horses were blindfolded and their ears were blocked, and they were carefully led across the bridge.

It took a day to pass more than 300 mules and horses, and six of them fell into the turbulent stream, and two unlucky soldiers were also buried here.

Li Fushou was greatly dissatisfied with this, and ordered to stop crossing the river immediately, and ordered the large bridge engineering team that built the continuous bridge in the Wild Wolf Valley here to send people to weave rope nets for this dangerous suspension bridge.

In addition, two more steel cables were added to pull the bridge body, so that it would not go to the middle of the river and sway non-stop, which was too scary, and the mules and horses were more likely to be frightened.

In the next year and a half

The mule and horse teams have to travel back and forth here all year round, and the construction team itself has to use this steel cable bridge, at least to ensure safe passage of the construction road.

"Chief Designer Mr. Feuerbach-Kant, have you found a serious problem in the design?" Li Fushou stood by the river, watching the workers weaving rope nets on the steel rope bridge, as if unintentionally asked.

Feuerbach Kant is the general director of the construction project, the head of the architecture department of the University of the Red River Valley, and now he is also a big man in the successful party, but he knows who all this comes from, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute, and said apologetically; "I'm really sorry Lord Earl, this construction of this temporary bridge is not well thought out, it is really too hasty."

"No...... I don't just mean this, the mule and horse team has been very difficult along the way, and in a long period of up to a year and a half, the mule and horse team has to transport supplies to tens of thousands of laborers along this rugged mountain road, and transport a large amount of cement and steel bars. ”

"I ......" Feuerbach-Kant couldn't answer such a sharp question, and the cold sweat on his forehead immediately fell, and he hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it before stammering; I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"Shut up! It's not something that can be solved by being sorry, Feuerbach Kant, you are disregarding human life, if you are going to be pulled out and shot on the battlefield, what the hell do you bastard think? Have you become an idiot, why make such a childish mistake? Li Fushou couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore and roared loudly.

Now Li Fushou's power is getting heavier and heavier, and his roar silences everyone.

In the face of the Earl's wrath, Feuerbach-Kant's face turned pale, and the designers and architecture students standing not far away were all terrified, and they were also responsible for this.

The task of developing the Koi copper-gold mine is too urgent, the time requirements are too tight, the entire design team of more than 40 people, almost everyone is a lot of tasks, 37 bridges, 6 culverts, as well as more than 180 kilometers of winding mountain roads, Crescent Lake Reservoir, hydropower plant, Koi copper-gold mine mining farm construction, concentrator construction and a large number of design drawings.

Longjin Highway is in the stage of survey and design and construction, and half of the 37 bridges have not been designed, including the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge, so no one cares more about the construction of the road, and really ignores this point.

Mining is the process of separating copper ore from waste rock, and Koi copper-gold ore is particularly complex, containing not only high-grade copper ore, but also gold and silver, all of which have to be separated one by one.

The separated ore is transported to the concentrator for beneficiation, and the copper ore obtained from mining is obtained through multiple processes to obtain high-grade copper concentrate, including crushing, flotation, separation, concentration, dehydration and other steps, which require a large amount of power supply to support the production of mining machinery and equipment day and night.

In today's world

Copper ore mining and screening has mature equipment, even after more than 100 years has not changed much, copper ore through the gyratory crusher, medium and fine cone crusher for tertiary crushing into fine granules, and then through the ball mill grinding into powder into the flotation pool.

After adding the agent to the flotation tank, the metal is adsorbed on the foam formed after stirring, and separated with the foam flowing into the side tank.

The separated slurry undergoes a dewatering process that combines concentration and filtration to form a copper concentrate. Through this series of processes, the copper content of the ore produced by the Koi copper-gold mine can be increased from 0.8% to 37% (in the dry state), all without the large supply of electricity to maintain the high intensity of production at the mine.

Now that the planned Crescent Lake Hydroelectric Power Station, the mining site of the Koi Copper-Gold Mine, and the concentrator plant have not yet been designed, who has the time to manage the construction of the road over the mountains and mountains?

Although Feuerbach-Kant had a full stomach of reasons in his heart, he would never dare to explain in the thunderous anger of the Count, so he could only silently bear the reprimand of his head and face.

As one of the old men who had been with the Count for the longest time, Feuerbach Kant basically understood the Count's temper, and clearly knew that he could not justify it at this time, and he had to show a heartbroken attitude of admitting his mistakes.

When the Earl's anger subsided, and when he was in a good mood one day, he asked a big man who could speak to help him turn slowly, and the board was raised high and fell gently......

“……

From Sunset Valley to the Koi Copper-Gold Fields, the mule and horse teams pass through no more than 20 life-threatening mountain roads, which are especially slippery when it rains, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the valley and die.

Is it difficult to arrange for the construction team to prioritize the repair of these places?

Is there a lot of work?

Now that you know, why not do it?

Just like whether there is anyone responsible for this Wild Wolf Valley steel cable bridge, whether there are potential safety hazards in the back project, and whether there are construction safety inspectors on the whole line of Longjin Highway, if there is, they must be immediately expelled from the team of architectural designers and blacklist these scum.

Those suspected of dereliction of duty will be sent to justice, and if you are numb, I think you can shoot a few, and you can really ...... all the waste snacks."

Feuerbach-Kant's face turned white and blue with an extremely harsh reprimand, a serious mistake that was simply unforgivable for the always rigorous German designer, and regarded as a lifelong disgrace.

Li Fushou angrily reprimanded, ordered all the designers to put down the work at hand, investigate all the safety hazards of Longjin Highway from beginning to end, and mobilize the construction team to immediately dig a safe mule and horse road, and if necessary, use blasting to blast up the steep rocks.

For this reason, even if the progress of some projects is delayed, it is not necessary to sharpen the knife and cut the wood.
