The Golden State is rich in stone minerals.

At the junction of Jinzhouwei and Lushunkou, that is, in the area of Qingniwa, the limestone mine mined met the needs of eighty percent of Beiping.

It was also the largest limestone mining area in Asia in later generations, with limestone and silica as the main ores, both in terms of production and quality.

Seventeen thousand casters work day and night in the area, transporting a steady stream of ore by improvised rail to a washing plant not far away.

The quarries that passed through the washing plant were not produced locally due to the shortage of workers in the Golden State and the limitations of production technology.

Through the transaction of raw material trade, the ships from Lushun Wharf are transported to Tianjin Wharf.

The Golden State model is like a bottomless pit, no matter how many castrations are delivered to the Golden State, it cannot meet the labor gap of the geometric industrial development of the Golden State.

"The number of castrations in the Golden State has exceeded seventy thousand, and the Golden State has paid three hundred and twenty thousand yuan for the expenditure of the slave trade."

The forest farm is also making year-end statements.

Wang Zhen met with several chief stewards to sort out the reports of various departments.

"Today, the price of slaves has risen to six yuan, from one or two at the beginning, to a sixfold increase in a few years."

One of the stewards smiled and said, "Those pirate leaders are satisfied. ”

"There is no way to do it, the labor gap is so big, and the foundation of Jinzhou is weak, in order to reduce the burden of the people and improve production efficiency, it is inseparable from the use of castrations, so you can only go with the market."

"The results are still gratifying, and the population of Golden State has exceeded 120,000."

"If you want me to see, absorbing the population of the mainland so quickly, the biggest temptation for the people in the mainland is mainly to make a woman."

"Hahaha."

Several stewards couldn't help but laugh.

Two months ago, Jin Zhou had learned of the complaint of the Japanese envoy, but no one cared.

Five years.

Jinzhou has changed from more than 3,000 people to 120,000 and 70,000 eunuchs.

This is the Golden State model.

However, it is also inseparable from the fact that four years ago, because of Zhu Gaochi's changes in the Lanyu case, more than 10,000 people were exiled to Jinzhou, and 5,600 military households were dispatched by the imperial court to build a solid foundation for Jinzhou.

Around these 5,600 military households, as well as more than 10,000 exiles, a total of nearly 40,000 people, there is the current stability of Jinzhou.

In the early stage, it needed to be maintained by blood transfusion in Beiping, and two years ago it began to feed back to Beiping, and eventually became the "steam engine" of Beiping.

Of course, it is inseparable from the abundant population resources of the mainland.

Without the support of the rich population in the mainland, where did Jinzhou migrate so many people, and there is now a labor shortage in Beiping.

But the sky fell, and there was a tall man on top of it.

They trust the little prince and don't think that this problem is a problem, as long as the little prince doesn't care, the development of Jinzhou will not be affected.

After reading the report, Wang Zhen felt that there was no problem, it was a successful report, signed his name on it, stamped it, and pressed his handprint.

"Golden State is a great place."

Wang Zhen stood up and couldn't help but stretch.

He, a martial artist who came out of the battlefield, has been dealing with pens more and more since he came to Jinzhou, and his temperament has changed a lot.

But the forest farm has today's development, and Wang Zhen's tenacity can be said to be inseparable.

With him in charge, there have never been any accidents in the safety of eunuchs in Golden State.

This experienced fighter has thought of all the hidden dangers in advance, and any hidden dangers of eunuchs gathering crowds to make trouble have been eliminated by him in advance.

Jinzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the boundless Changbai Mountains are connected to the east, and only Fuzhou, which is two or three hundred miles to the northeast, has more than 2,000 military households.

The Luangu Pass, Pangu Fort and other fortress passes built south of Fuzhou have become unavoidable checkpoints.

Only through these fortresses can you enter the plain area of Liaodong, otherwise the boundless Changbai Mountains will be the biggest obstacle.

This is the unique geographical advantage of the Golden State, so that the eunuchs cannot escape.

Because a single person leaves the social environment and enters the Changbai Mountains unarmed, he can only end up becoming a beast in the belly.

Jinzhou City has become the bridgehead of Jinzhou in the east, making the hinterland of Jinzhou a closed area, connecting with the outside world through the Lushun port.

The geography and military fortifications of Golden State made the eunuchs desperate, and the heavy labor and vicious eunuch overseers made the eunuchs lose all hope, like numb puppets.

Coupled with the strong social atmosphere of Japanese clothing, eunuchs have become the most cost-effective production worker group in Golden State.

Wang Zhen no longer feels that he can afford the heroic stories in the new Peking play.

He has given a perfect answer in Jinzhou in the past few years, and his rich contributions have made him straighten his waist, and he is sure that he is worthy of the people, and he is even more worthy of the people's worship of him because of the new drama propaganda.

Golden State's success.

is the source of his confidence.

"Has the year-end report of the Harbour Master been sorted out?"

The steward shook his head.

"Let people urge, we need to leave for Beiping as soon as possible, and we can't delay it any longer." Although Wang Zhen is not in charge of the Harbour Master's Department, his prestige is sufficient.

Harbour Master's Department.

A warehouse dedicated to storing "big bones" was set up.

Twenty or thirty meters, thirty or forty meters, or even longer trees, neatly placed.

The branches and leaves of the trees have been pruned and supported by wooden supports underneath to keep them out of contact with the ground and avoid moisture.

The mountains of wood, which have been painted with various colors of grease and bathed in the sun, have been maintained for two years, and look shocking.

For those trees that are more than seventy or eighty meters old, one less is one less, and it takes decades or even nearly a hundred years to grow to such heights.

This kind of big trees are a scarce and valuable resource in the forest farm, there are no such big trees in the mainland, there may be, but in inaccessible places, and there will not be many, it is a resource that must not be wasted.

Several technicians led the apprentices to check the reserves of these timbers, and whether there were any accidents, which is their perennial work.

Castrations are not used here.

Eunuchs have special management rules and regulations, which are mainly used and managed in intensive raw material industries, and also avoid the spread of technology.

Castrations are used to get them to do the most tiring things, not to train them to become skilled workers.

One skilled worker is not precious, but 10,000 skilled workers are invaluable.

So 70,000 eunuchs, they don't understand anything, they are only engaged in the coolie trade, and they don't use gelding in any technology-related industry.

The manager of the warehouse, according to the list sent by the Harbour Master, handed over the qualified timber to the transport team for delivery.

The convoy brought the heavy and huge timber to the shipyard.

On the built improvised tracks, there are dozens of wheels under the long trailers, and the timber is loaded onto the railway trailer by means of pulley crane tools.

It is transported by railway trailer to the shipyard and becomes the "keel" of the dockyard production vessels.

Because of the abundant "keel" material resources, the most important limitation of the ship is solved, and the shipyard can go all out to produce all kinds of ships.

Dock No. 1.

A 100-metre-long and 50-metre-wide ship with one bow and one stern sail and a 13-metre mainmast in the front half of the hull.

Behind the main mast, in the middle of the hull, is a tall chimney, and on either side of the chimney are three rows of large wheels.

The rear of the ship is raised, and each has a row of eight gun windows.

The deck has not yet been laid, and there are quite a few shipwrights on the frame, engaged in the installation and manufacture of various components.

On the ground next to the dock, countless tools were placed, and two large wooden planks of more than ten meters were placed on the side of the ship from the ground.

There are also various pulley cranes to transport materials from the ground to the ship.

This huge battleship has taken shape.

More than a dozen technicians were on the ground, pointing in a circle to the drawings on the drawings, drawing countless lines and discussing the contents.

Vessels.

It represents the level of technological synthesis of a civilization.

Before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty was the most developed in the world.

Later, because officials burned the drawings of the Fu ship, coupled with the restrictions on the masts of ships in the Ming Dynasty, the development of the shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty came to a standstill.

However, the central government of the Ming Dynasty did not have a deep ruling power over the localities, and in the seventies of the sixteenth century, after the opening of Longqing, the shipping industry ushered in rapid development.

The Portuguese were most fond of using fortune ships for maritime trade.

In Fujian, the ships built by Zheng Zhilong and the local government surpassed the West in terms of comprehensive level and became one of the most advanced ships at that time, but in the Spanish raid, they were destroyed in the war before they left the port, and the Ming Dynasty died not long after, and it completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Numerous docks are in full production, and more than 20 large ships have been loaded outside the wharf at Lushunkou.

These wood, limestone, marble and other raw materials with a load of up to 20 million catties will be the largest and last transportation from Jinzhou to Beiping in the 29th year of Hongwu.

……

Tianjin Cement Plant.

"Keep getting worse."

A technician said.

Hearing the words of the technicians, several workers added stone piers on the frame structure.

The rectangular steel frame is firmly nailed to the concrete floor, and there are several square stone piers above the pallet.

At the bottom of the pallet is a steel drill with a large nail cover, and as the weight increases, the cement slab that presses against the ground finally cracks.

The technician hurriedly recorded it.

"Twenty-eight days of cement, tested with a pressure measuring device, under the pressure of 1,000 catties, the weight square is three square points."

With the market demand for cement, cement production plants need more new technologies to improve production efficiency.

With the different uses of cement, the construction of ground floor buildings, high-rise buildings, bridges, etc., also requires different pressure cement strength.

"Finally a breakthrough." Hearing the words of the technicians, the workers breathed a sigh of relief and their faces showed joy.

The technicians were also delighted.

The first 200 cement has long been eliminated, and more 600 cement is produced and put into use in two- or three-story buildings.

However, with the development of the project, the engineering department and the railway engineering department needed stronger cement, so the cement production plant also began to test stronger cement.

The year before last, the cement technology of No. 800 was broken through, and it didn't take long for the demand for higher-strength cement.

The largest Party A has requirements, and the cement plant can only go all out to research, and finally the cement with the strength of 1,000 is born.

In the opinion of the surveying technicians, the cement of No. 100 is only needed for special projects, and the cement of No. 600 is enough to meet most of the projects.

However, Party A's requirements are not even the factory director, let alone a small measurement technician.

Tianjin Cement Plant is located in Beitangkou.

The wharves in Tianjin mainly include Dagukou and Beitangkou, as well as several attached wharves.

The area around Beitangkou is also a production base for cement building materials.

The large chimney here is in the shape of a thick one.

The distance from the kiln grid to the bottom of the feeding door is five meters, the total height is thirteen meters, and the inner diameter of the kiln is ten inches.

The grate is made of two kinds of iron bars of different thicknesses, the coarse one is fixed to the kiln wall, and the thin one can be pulled off during discharge.

It is an extension of the technology of burning lime in the Song Dynasty, which was adopted in the process of making cement, and provided ideas for the technicians of the cement plant.

After grinding and calcining with limestone, sandstone, iron powder, fly ash, etc., slag and fly ash are added to mix, and after retarding to form gypsum, the product after grinding is cement.

The powder is packed into sacks, transported to the construction site, mixed with the right amount of water, and finally becomes the cement used on the construction site.

Sacks are reusable materials that need to be recycled.

Saibei Development Zone will become a new major market player in the use of cement.

Twelve small forts were to be built there.
