Chapter 146 Surveying the Road

From the moment Qian Tiandun announced the execution, there was no sound in the crowd. The moment the wooden board under the prisoner's feet collapsed, many people even stopped breathing. All immigrants were pregnant

I witnessed the entire hanging process with trepidation. I watched several prisoners die quickly on the gallows. Even those who had previously shouted "Hang them" were also attracted by the scene in front of them.

I was so shocked that I couldn't make a sound. Judging from the reactions at the scene, this public execution undoubtedly achieved very good results.

After the last prisoner hung his head feebly, Qian Tiandun held his watch and waited for another full minute before he signaled two doctors, Johnson and Morgan, to come forward to check on the prisoner's condition.

The two doctors carefully examined the conditions of the four prisoners, took off the sacks on their heads and checked their pupils, and finally confirmed that all four prisoners were dead. After receiving the doctor's examination conclusion, Qian Tiandun picked up the microphone again.

Looking at the immigrants in the audience, he said: "In the future, any behavior that harms human life in Black Earth Port will be punished by hanging like these people. Please take this as a warning! In addition, I also ask everyone to rest assured.

Our Haihan Executive Committee is determined and capable of protecting everyone’s safety!”

Many immigrants don't know what the "Haihan Executive Committee" mentioned by Qian Tiandun is, but from the repeated policy propaganda of the Haihan people, they can vaguely feel the power of the "Executive Committee"

Powerful, all people under the management of the "Executive Committee" must have enough respect for the "Executive Committee". And this is exactly what the Executive Committee hopes to achieve through policy propaganda. In this era,

The people's knowledge, vision, and ideological level are very limited. The Executive Committee intends to use the simplest and most effective brainwashing method to establish its authority among the naturalized people as quickly as possible.

This method has achieved good results in the base area of ​​Hainan Island. The colonization team will naturally transplant this simple and effective method to Heitu Port and continue to use it. At present, it seems that in addition to the usual policy propaganda, appropriate violent punishment methods will be combined

It seems to have a better effect. After all, the time these new immigrants have spent with the colonization team is too short, and words alone may not make these people change their original ideologies and living habits.

The victim's brother suddenly ran to the stage, knelt down straight in front of Qian Tiandun, and then started kowtowing loudly. Upon seeing this, Qian Tiandun quickly pulled him up, but as soon as he pulled his knees off the ground, he

He knelt down towards Zhou Hengxing and continued to kowtow.

Zhou Hengxing stepped forward to support the young man, sighed and said to Qian Tiandun: "This child is also pitiful. I learned about the situation at home with him last night. All his family members died in the war. I finally escaped here with my sister.

Come on, I didn’t expect my sister to encounter this kind of thing again... she is a war orphan!"

Qian Tiandun comforted the young man with kind words: "Live well, so that your dead family will feel at ease. After a while, we will send you to a place with better conditions than here. When you get there, you can read, read, and learn."

Knowledge."

The young man raised his head and looked at the two people and said: "The villain is not going anywhere. The villain is willing to be a servant for the adults. I beg the adults to take him in!"

Qian Tiandun and Zhou Hengxing looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces. Of course they could understand the child's thoughts. He probably thought that he was too young and couldn't do any heavy physical work, so he was afraid that he would be beaten by them.

Sold to other places. Rather than working as a servant somewhere else, it would be better to just work under the disciples of these big men who avenge their families. Even if they become the lowest servant, at least they won't be too conflicted psychologically.

At this time, Gao Qiaonan had already brought the militiamen to the stage to collect the body. Qian Tiandun and Zhou Hengxing took the young man to the tent of the headquarters, intending to handle the matter properly. After all, this was handled by the colonization team in Heitu Port.

In the first murder case, the execution of the prisoner was naturally a focus of attention, but the treatment of the victim's family cannot be ignored either. This represents, to a certain extent, the command's attitude towards the local people.

The immigrants gathered in the audience gradually dispersed under the command of the militia. They had finished watching the fun, and what awaited them was a full day of labor tasks. What would happen to those who are unwilling to work and want to cheat and cheat?

They had all seen the outcome just now. If they didn't want to become a corpse floating in the wind on the gallows, it would be better to work hard according to the arrangements of the foremen.

After increasing the personnel investment in logging work, the construction speed of the entire camp has also been accelerated a lot. The forest density here is even worse than that of Tian Duiyi, and a large number of logs have been processed after simple processing.

, it was directly used to build wooden houses. The headquarters has issued a fatal order to the engineering team to complete at least one wooden house warehouse within today so that the food, gunpowder, cement and other materials on the ship can be unloaded to the shore for storage as soon as possible.

In addition, the engineering team has to complete the foundation treatment work for more than ten prefabricated houses that the Chuan people live within today. This time the executive committee allocated all the quick-drying cement to the colonization team. This good intention cannot be wasted.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather in the past two days, the engineering team has to quickly build the prefabricated houses. It is now the rainy season, and the weather changes at any time. It may not even rain for half a month in Heitu Port.

The Ministry of Shipping also hopes to unload the cargo on the ship as soon as possible, and then seize the time to rush to the east coast of Vietnam to transport refugees. If they are quick enough, they can at least get from the east coast during the construction period of the Black Tu Port area.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 people were brought to the shore. This immigration speed has greatly exceeded that of the Sanya base camp. You must know that it took a full three months to bring the population under control to only 2,000.

The person in charge of coal mining in the colonization team is Tian Yeyou, who took the initiative to apply to be stationed in Heitu Port. Today, the four departments of mining, military police, engineering and civil affairs formed a joint team to survey the route from the port area to the mining area. The engineering team must

Based on the survey data and the transportation requirements proposed by the mining team, a road construction plan here is formulated. The civil affairs department then allocates and arranges the labor force, and the military and police department is responsible for maintaining order and security during the construction process.

Both Liu Shanxia and Gu Kai came to this place for the first time. Fortunately, Arita Yeyou and a few people from the North American Gang led the way, which saved a lot of time on the way. The last time the expedition team came here, they had already done preliminary inspections.

Topographic survey, and this time the engineering team brought more professional tools and equipment to conduct more detailed calculations of the planned route.

"This valley is only about 400 meters long. What's more troublesome is that there is a small river at the bottom of the valley. We are worried that the river water may surge and wash away the road during the rainy season, so your engineering team should think more carefully about the construction plan here." Tian Yeyou said.

Moving forward, he introduced the situation to Liu Shanxia and others.

"If it were in Sanya, this matter would be more troublesome, but it is not difficult to solve it here. It just requires more manpower." Liu Shanxia pointed to the front and said: "Qiao Zhiya also said last time that the road construction here needs to be higher.

, relatively speaking, the amount of work will be relatively large. But fortunately, we have sufficient manpower now. If two hundred is not enough, we will come with four hundred, and if four hundred is not enough, we will come with eight hundred. It is not difficult to dig these hundreds of meters of road.

"

"Can the soil here be used to lay tracks?" Compared with whether the road can be opened in the shortest time, Gu Kai is more concerned about the transportation problem after the coal mine is put into operation.

"The vegetation here is in very good condition. We basically don't have to worry about landslides or mudslides. It's enough to build stone retaining walls on both sides of the road in some of the more important sections. Open the road in front and lay sleepers all the way behind.

And the track." Liu Shanxia pointed to the other end of the valley and said: "If everything goes well, we can advance more than fifty meters every day. The laying of the track may be slower, but it will definitely be completed before next month. Unfortunately, the conditions here are not ideal.

, if both ends can be constructed together, the construction period can be shortened by half."

While everyone was talking, everyone had already walked out of the valley, and Tian Yeyou began to introduce to everyone the several mining sites identified by the expedition team last time: "If we have enough manpower, I suggest that five mining sites be excavated here at once, and one of them is mined

The point is that the quality of coking coal is very good, which is very useful for steelmaking and ironmaking in the base camp.”

Gu Kai asked: "Five mining sites? How many miners are needed?"

"The coal mines here are very shallow, so you can just use open-pit mining, so the manpower is not as limited as tunnel operations. The more manpower you invest, the faster the mining speed. If a thousand miners can invest, I think

The monthly mining volume can reach at least two thousand tons, which is enough for the base camp to last for several months." Tian Yeyou was very confident in the coal mine's production capacity and continued to wave his arms and said excitedly: "This is just a manual mining condition.

If we invest more mining machinery here in the future, this output can easily increase a lot."

"It would be great if we could all transport them back. In the final analysis, our maritime transport capacity is not enough!" Gu Kai did not show the same excitement when he heard the prospects described by Tian Yeyou, because he knew more about the current situation of the crossing group: "

Now these few ships are working hard to pull back, and if they can pull back just over a thousand tons a month, it will be considered very good."

"Take your time. With coal in the future, our product lines will be enriched, and we will be able to sell more and more things. Are we afraid that we won't be able to find a shipyard to build big ships for us?" Tian Yeyou's vision for the future is clear.

He is much more optimistic. From the perspective of a geologist like him, having energy means having everything.
