The tributary of the Saine River, where the industrial park is located, is called the Diens River, which means reed swing in the Sassen language, which shows how large the reed swing is in this area.

Stepping onto the low hills, there are almost all the tall withered yellow reeds as far as the eye can see, except for the reeds near the industrial park, which have been cleared by the employees of the paper mill.

It's no wonder that in the small restaurants in the fish tooth district, the price of fried eggs will only be 5 copper bis, and the price of fried fish is similar to that near the North District Wharf.

"Sharp, Captain Simon, Captain Maika, where do you think we should put the employee community?"

After carefully observing the terrain, Xia Lin enjoyed the blowing of the river breeze, and asked the two young men from the literacy class behind him and the leader of the construction team who used to be a stonemason.

They are currently the highest level of education or technology in the industrial park, but they have received temporary training from Xia Lin for a period of time before, and they have accepted some engineering knowledge in a cramming way, and they are still very immature, Xia Lin must give them more opportunities to think and exercise and digest those knowledge.

"I think this open space under our feet is good, some distance from the reeds, enough to build a block!"

"Hmm...... I think what Manager Sharp said makes a lot of sense! ”

"It's not okay to build something on this vacant land, I think we should choose a place closer to our dock, so that it won't be so troublesome to build the road!"

All three of them offered their own opinions, but Captain Mika, who was the last to speak, was negative about Sharpe's idea.

"Captain Maika seems to have seen it, let's go to the clearing below!"

Xia Lin nodded appreciatively to Captain Maika, and led the three of them down the hill along the edge of the reeds to the clearing that Sharp had said.

It is said to be an open space, but it is only compared to those dense reeds.

In this clearing, there are also a few reeds and weeds growing sparsely, and it seems that the area is about seventy or eighty acres, and it is not a big problem to establish the employee community that Xia Lin envisioned.

Xia Lin quickly dug a pit about thirty centimeters deep in the ground with the hands of a mage, and then dug out a yellow-brown piece of soil from it with his hands, and showed the three of them:

"You're watching!"

As he spoke, he squeezed the lump of dirt hard, and after a while, drops of yellow water dripped from between Xia Lin's fingers. This scene is unknown to the three of them.

"I said in class before that the most important part of the project is the foundation and foundation, choose the foundation, lay a good foundation, only then can there be a stable and safe building, so that there will be no safety accidents.

You see, this is a bay where the sediment of the Seine River flows downstream, and because the river diverts its velocity to decrease, the sediment in it is deposited in this bay to form a shallow, which is why the nearby reeds grow so luxuriantly.

The soil of this shallow is basically yellow-brown soil, the soil moisture content is quite high, and even the topsoil is watered when you pinch it, and the house is built on top of it as if it were built on cotton, do you think this can still be used as a site for the employee community? ”

Xia Lin threw away the clump of dirt, clapped his hands, used a cleaning technique, pointed to the nearby river bay, explained the formation of the soil here, and asked the two ignorant subordinates.

"I can't!"

"I don't think so."

Although they only had a vague idea of what Xia Lin said about the origin of the soil, both of them understood what Xia Lin meant by asking them, and Sharp who proposed to build a community of employees here looked visibly frustrated.

Maika on the side was thoughtful about Xia Lin's words, and seemed to understand some of what Xia Lin said, and there was a bit of respect in his expression.

Although he had experience as a stonemason and had some knowledge of geology, it was almost impossible for Maika to describe the origin of the terrain and soil so clearly as Charlin did.

"No, I know you can't fully understand the process yet, but you have to remember that although we are in poor conditions now, we must also pay attention to field exploration, such as this kind of soil with high water content, you can't build houses on it!

Captain Maika and many of the deputy captains and technicians in the company who were born from stonemasons are all talents, although their literacy and arithmetic scores are much better than theirs, but they should ask more about these professional knowledge and ask for their opinions!

Their experience can help you a lot, which is why I have paired you captains from the management literacy class with those old stonemasons!

The purpose of our Xinye Chamber of Commerce is to create wealth with knowledge, although there are no very good learning conditions at present, but you must also learn to learn on the job, slowly enrich yourself, and I can hand over more important tasks to you in the future!

When this elementary school is completed, there will also be a workers' night school in it, and then you will go to the night school together for systematic learning! ”

Xia Lin knew that their foundation was too poor, and he probably listened to what he said, but Xia Lin was going to let them remember the most critical point, that is, to consult professionals when they encounter problems that they don't understand.

That is, it is work and learning, this slogan is placed on the construction site of the previous life, which will make Xia Lin feel disgusted, but it is very suitable for the present.

After all, there are not many professionals in the industrial park, so Xia Lin can only lay some foundation for these children with strong learning ability, and then let them learn in practice.

Although there is a lot of land around the industrial park, there is a lot of land with extremely high soil moisture content and difficult to develop.

After walking around the industrial park for two more days, Xia Lin chose the location of the employee community on the open space on the north side of the Deens River, about a kilometer away from the industrial park.

The soil structure here is good, it is very suitable for the local base, and the water used by residents will not be polluted by the industrial park located further downstream, that is, when the road has not been built, it will be a little inconvenient for the employees who live here.

After selecting the site and allocating the project money, soon 15 construction teams entered the site to start the work of excavating the foundation and leveling the land.

The building he designed for the employee community was the simplest of three-storey buildings, and no matter how high the pressure provided by the towers and pumps he designed could not supply water.

There are six suites on each floor, with a total area of 65 square meters and a three-bedroom living room and a kitchen, which are connected by an open corridor with suspended drying racks.

At each end of the corridor are separate communal bathhouses, toilets, and staircases, and only the bathhouses and toilets on each floor have a water supply, because if each house had an underwater pipe, the cast iron pipes would be extremely expensive and would make it more difficult for the novices to construct.

Although there is no steel bar, the strength of bamboo-reinforced concrete is enough for such a humble building.

Supporting facilities include a water tower, water pump and water wheel for each building, a closed septic tank, each building is scheduled to be built for 65 days, the cost is 15 gold lunt, the initial project will build four buildings, and the subsequent expansion will be carried out as needed.

The predetermined primary school in the slum was also arranged next to the staff community by Xia Lin.

For safety reasons, the primary school buildings are only two floors, with 10 classrooms and a large toilet on each floor.

There is no glass, and the large window frame designed for lighting is first covered with papier-mâché wood frame windows, which can be said to be a shortened and elongated version of the tube building.

Each grade is scheduled to last for 75 days at a cost of 7 gold lundes, and a one-story terrace room is scheduled to last for 30 days and cost 5 gold lund.

The R&D center was arranged by Xia Lin to be a little far away from both the slum and the industrial park, which was due to the requirement of confidentiality.

In addition, the future R&D center needs to build a large number of R&D facilities, and the demand for land is also very large.

One of the problems in the employee community is that there is only water, no electricity, and there is no space for a stove in a five-square-meter kitchen, unless the industrial park allows these employees and their children to go to the canteen, otherwise they have to consider their daily cooking needs.

For this, Xia Lin thought of the briquette stove, a silo artifact.

There are coal mines not far from the imperial capital, and with the convenience of hydraulic transportation, the price of coal in the imperial capital is very cheap, only 15 copper biss per weight.

The coal supply agreements signed by the industrial park with the members of the alliance even cost only 12 copper pes.

Xia Lin only needs to let the machine tool factory produce a batch of briquette stoves and briquette machines, and then set up a briquette workshop in the industrial park, and hire ten people to be responsible for making briquettes, which can perfectly solve this problem.

As the days passed, bamboo scaffolding was erected on the site, workers tied ropes to build walls on taller and taller buildings, and from time to time people from nearby came to see the strange and exclaim at the three-story building where the slum had never existed.

Xia Lin will also check the progress of the project from time to time, and solve some problems in the construction for these construction team leaders by the way.

One day, Xia Lin looked at the dress of these workers and always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he found that his group of construction workers did not even have the most basic hard hats.

As a civil dog, how can you not even have your own golden hoop? Although it is only a three-story low-rise building, although there is no engineering plastic with strong performance in the previous life, the most primitive version of the helmet, the bamboo hat is always OK.

found the bamboo craftsman he had worked with before, and soon a batch of brand-new bamboo hats were equipped for these construction workers, so that although it was simple, Xia Lin still found a lot of atmosphere at the construction site in his previous life.

By the way, this also made Xia Lin think of the labor insurance problem in the industrial park, at present, in addition to the supply of special gauze masks for workers in the cement factory, gloves, work clothes, and goggles of various materials have not yet been found.

Other labor protection supplies may not be produced, but cotton yarn gloves and workwear industrial parks can still be provided, and there are textile factories, and the cost of producing these products is quite low, so it can be considered to equip employees.
