Chapter 149 A basin of cold water

Stimulated by the bright prospects, everyone's enthusiasm for work was fully aroused, and the chief officers of each department came to the front line to give command. This also greatly increased the construction speed of the entire port area. The immigrants now have three meals a day.

With security and a stable place to live, I didn’t show much resistance to the request to work overtime.

Chuanchuanzhong has already accumulated a lot of successful experience in Shengli Port. At this time, it is also using the same old tricks, such as creating competition among workers through grouping. The groups that can complete the scheduled tasks with high quality and quantity can receive rewards, such as

A piece of fish or a piece of venison for dinner. This kind of reward may not seem rich, but when you really see other people's bowls with meat and you can only eat vegetables, the psychological imbalance is enough.

Stimulate workers to work harder.

Encouraged by Qian Tiandun, Gao Qiaonan took strict measures to supervise the logging team. In just forty-eight hours, the logging team opened a three-meter-wide passage in the valley. The subsequent engineering team only needed

After further trimming and filling this channel, the laying of sleepers and tracks in the valley can begin.

Liu Shanxia, ​​the commander of the engineering team, made an optimistic estimate at the regular meeting of the Management Committee that as long as the current construction speed can be maintained, the entire coal rail laying project can be completed five to seven days earlier than expected.

In view of the outstanding performance of the logging team, the management committee specially approved hundreds of kilograms of seafood to supplement the meat nutrition of the logging team, and gave verbal praise to the supervisor of the logging team, naturalized citizen Corporal Gao Qiaonan, at a regular meeting. However, the management committee

The committee's good intentions turned out to be the wrong thing. More than a dozen people, including Gao Qiaonan, suffered from severe diarrhea after eating seafood, and many people developed symptoms of seafood allergies. The management committee had to

They quickly stopped their seafood supply plan and instead increased the staffing of the hunting team to ensure that there would be enough meat for these heavy manual workers.

The logging team transported all the trees cut down on the road to the camp, and began to erect a two-meter-high log wall around the camp. Public facilities such as reservoirs, canteens, bathhouses, and public toilets were constructed one by one in the camp.

was completed, and at the same time, the management committee also began to implement more standardized management of the immigrant camp. Bad habits such as open urination and defecation are strictly prohibited in the camp, and those found will be punished with the lightest penalty of fasting for a day.

Sleeping, dining, and gatherings must also be carried out in accordance with the rules set by the management committee. This standardized management was first adopted by the executive committee in the commune. Facts have proved that such a system is very effective and is implemented in the daily life of the people.

The standardized management in the city can allow these ordinary people with little education to establish the awareness of obeying the rules and disciplines in a short period of time. This is very important management and governance for the Chuanchuan people who only account for about 3% of the local population.

means.

The construction level of the crossing camps is obviously higher. In addition to erecting a solid wall around the camp, a one-meter-deep and two-meter-wide trench was dug outside the wall, and defenses were built near the entrance passage.

Facing the immigration camp and the port, watchtowers have been erected respectively, and militiamen are on duty 24 hours a day. Without permission, no local immigrants or even immigrants from Victory Port are allowed to enter the crossing.

In the camp.

This is not only done by the Management Committee to guard against these local immigrants, but more importantly, if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, the Management Committee must at least have a stronger stronghold to protect itself. Of course, it only relies on the match ropes of the militia.

Guns cannot give the Management Committee a sufficient sense of security. The two 6-pound army cannons hidden in the camp are the Management Committee’s ultimate killer weapons. This is the first night after arriving at Black Earth Port. Qian Tiandun

With a few militiamen, they quietly unloaded it from the ship while it was dark. In the current situation where artillery, gunpowder and gunners are in short supply, this can be regarded as one of the special care given by the Executive Committee and the Military and Police Department to the colonial stronghold of Black Earth Port.

One.

The construction speed of the port terminal is also quite astonishing. With sufficient manpower and raw material support, the trestle on the terminal was extended almost at a speed visible to the naked eye in a few days. If it were not for the local cement supply, it would not be possible for the time being.

To solve the problem, Liu Shanxia even wanted to start building the Yonggu Wharf directly.

Just when everyone was enthusiastically hoping to complete the infrastructure as soon as possible and put the coal mine into operation as soon as possible, a basin of cold water falling from the sky poured cold water on the management committee - in the meeting to determine the future development route of Black Earth Port

Just three days after the meeting, a heavy rain fell here.

Although it has entered the rainy season and everyone has already been mentally prepared for the coming of heavy rain, when it actually arrived, everyone in the management committee was still so angry that they collectively cursed.

The rainstorm was very violent. Within the first three hours, the precipitation exceeded 20 millimeters. Although the rain decreased slightly after that, the precipitation still exceeded 100 millimeters within 24 hours.

, the management committee had no choice but to upgrade the level of this rain from heavy rain to heavy rain.

The harm caused by this heavy rain is very direct. The simple shacks built in the early stage of the resettlement camp all began to leak, and some low-lying areas have already experienced water accumulation and backflow. The management committee had to organize a group of people who could not

People who continued to live in shacks were moved to military tents originally used to store supplies.

Starting from the second day of rain, the entire camp and port area became muddy, and many areas that had not had time to dig drainage ditches directly turned into swamps. Although the management committee anticipated the arrival of the rainy season, it did not

Be fully prepared for this. The relevant departments do not have enough rain gear to allow the immigrants to continue working in the rain, and almost all construction sites have to temporarily stop work and wait for the rain to stop.

The management committee did not dare to take risks and let the immigrants continue working in such heavy rain. It would be a trivial matter if people were tired and sick, but if influenza appeared in Black Earth Port, it would be a disaster for the medical level of this period.

Although the colonization team is also equipped with medical staff, it is obviously impossible to deal with a large-scale outbreak of influenza. This risk is much greater than the delay in the construction period. Even Gu Kai, who wants to achieve some outstanding achievements here, has to consider this possibility.

It will threaten the future public health and safety of Black Earth Port.

But God obviously did not intend to let the management committee and its immigrants pass this test easily. Soon the militiamen on duty near the valley sent a warning, saying that the river water level in the valley began to rise rapidly. Liu Shanxia and Qiao Zhiya took the risk

Yu went to check the situation, and when he came back, both of them had dark faces.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Qiao Zhiya asked.

"Let's tell you the bad news first." Gu Kai immediately made a decision: "This way at least we won't despair after hearing the last news."

"The river is about to overflow the river bed. If we don't take measures, I think at least half of our immigration camp will be submerged tonight at the latest." Qiao Zhiya said in a serious tone.

There was silence in the tent, and it was obvious that the news was shocking to everyone. Gu Kaiqiang asked with a smile: "It seems that we are only half a day away from the end of the world, so what is the good news quickly? You should already be upstream.

Found Noah’s Ark, right?”

"The good news is that the amount of water in this river is not large. Even if it floods the camp, it will not wash away everything we have. There is even a small possibility of drowning people." Liu Shanxia wiped the wetness with a towel.

hair, muttered in reply.

"What kind of good news is this..." Xie Chun was very dissatisfied that they still had the intention to joke at this moment.

"Okay, the really good news." Liu Shanxia put down his towel, sat down and lit a cigarette: "If we organize people now to raise the river bank near the camp, we should be able to avoid this flood. Of course,

The premise is that the rain should stop as soon as possible, otherwise if it rains for another three or four days... I think it would be safer for us to get on the boat directly at that time."

"In this case, everyone should stop sitting in the tent." Gu Kai stood up and began to issue orders: "Zhou Hengxing immediately organized the immigration, and all the young and strong laborers were mobilized to follow Lao Liu's command to raise the height.

Qian Tiandun went to check our important supplies on the river bank. Just in case, it would be best to command the militia to build a circle of waterproof embankments around the warehouse first, and other things should come second. If our food is washed away by the water, then

This is a serious matter. Others who do not have specific tasks should first follow Lao Liu's command! Please remember that what we are doing now is not only for these immigrants, but more importantly for ourselves!"

So a vigorous anti-flood rescue campaign was launched in the small coastal port of Beibu Gulf in the 17th century. Although these time travelers may have played the role of unknown little people or even losers in the previous time and space, in this crisis

No one flinched at any time, and everyone responded to Gu Kai's call and rushed into the pouring rain.

Under the leadership of the Chuanchuang people who took the lead, hundreds of immigrants also worked in the rain, and finally raised the river bank by a large amount before the river overflowed, avoiding the danger of the newly built camp being washed away by flash floods. Each

Everyone who comes down from the front line of the rescue will be given a bowl of steaming ginger soup, which is cooked in the canteen using freshwater fish caught from the river two days ago, which can dispel part of the cold in these wet people's bodies.

At the same time, the logistics department also prepared hot water and dry clothes so that these exhausted people could recover as soon as possible. However, despite a lot of preparation work, many people still suffered from various degrees of illness that night.

Cold symptoms keep medical staff busy all night.
