Chapter 2419

In a place like Miaoli where the level of infrastructure is still relatively primitive, being able to live in a house with complete living facilities is a rare treat for travelers who come here to perform their duties. It doesn't hurt to pay a little rent for this. After all, this is

It is definitely much cheaper than building a house with your own money. Even if Liu Shanxia looks at this house with his professional eyes, he has to admit that the construction level is indeed good. It can be seen that Tian Yeyou did invest real money to build this place.

As for whether he planned to build his own residence at that time, or whether he had already thought about earning long-term income through renting out in the future, Liu Shanxia was also very curious and would definitely ask him for clarification when he had the opportunity to meet Tian Yeyou next time.

After his men moved the luggage and belongings into the house, Liu Shanxia could finally sit down and have a good rest. He had not been on such a far trip for a long time, and it was indeed tiring after days of traveling and traveling. After this stop, he felt a little tired, so he leaned in the house.

I took a nap on the lounge chair for a while.

Liu Shanxia didn't know how long he had been asleep. After being woken up by his subordinates, he realized that Director Wang of the management committee had returned and was waiting to meet him outside. After hearing this, Liu Shanxia stood up, tidied up his appearance, and quickly went out to meet him.

meet.

A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses who was waiting in the reception room outside saw Liu Shanxia coming out, so he stood up and extended his hand to say hello: "Mr. Liu, you've had a hard journey!"

Liu Shanxia stretched out his hand and shook it: "That's where the responsibility lies. How are you always doing well here, Lao Wang?"

The middle-aged man shaking hands with Liu Shanxia is Wang Hui, the current chief official of the Miaoli Management Committee. This man is a chemical engineering major. He is a relatively low-key technician in the Chuanchuan Group. He has no political ambitions and stays in Sanya all year round.

Do some technical research work. If he had followed his own wishes, he would definitely not have taken the initiative to apply to stay in a remote mountainous forest environment like Miaoli for a long time. The reason why he became the official in charge here was just to complete the tasks assigned by the Ministry of Industry.

Although the oil extraction project in the Miaoli area is an industrial project that the Executive Committee continues to pay attention to, because the construction of the petrochemical industry is still in its infancy and the level of oil processing and utilization is extremely low, Miaoli has also been controlling the scale of oil extraction.

Officials have not continued to invest here to complete various infrastructure projects.

Living conditions are poor, development is limited, and there is no sufficient construction funds, so being a local official here has become an unpopular job that no one cares about. In addition, working here requires a certain professional foundation in the petrochemical industry, so that you can handle the production process.

Some technical problems that arose have limited suitable candidates to a relatively small range. There are not many people engaged in chemical engineering in Chuanchuan Group, and the environment in Miaoli is not ideal, so we can only narrow down the limited number of candidates.

Candidates were assigned to Miaoli in turn to serve as local officials.

Therefore, Wang Hui not only had to manage local government affairs in Miaoli, but was also responsible for organizing and managing the production work of Chusangkeng Oilfield. However, Wang Hui came from an academic background and was not good at managing various government affairs and handling all aspects of interpersonal relationships, so he

My performance during my tenure can only be described as average. Although I didn't make any obvious mistakes, I really didn't achieve any impressive results.

Fortunately, his one-year term is about to end. Wang Hui can only wait for the next local official to come to Miaoli to complete the handover of work, and then he can resign and go back to his previous job. Before returning to Hainan Island, he still has a fifty

The long vacation is one of the benefits of working in Miaoli for one year. This long vacation is just the right time for you to take your family and have fun in various places along the coast of Ming Dynasty.

However, the successor Wang Hui hoped for had not yet arrived, but Liu Shanxia was waiting first. The message he received was that Liu Shanxia was going to Miaoli to preside over a series of infrastructure projects, and the executive committee asked him to fully cooperate and assist Liu Shanxia's work. This

The arrangement also made Wang Hui a little uneasy, wondering whether his term would be forced to be extended due to this impact.

Although the two of them are both time travellers, it is not really said that they have any friendship, they just know each other. They met occasionally in Sanya in the past, but they have never had such a private meeting. Wang Hui is also a person who is not good at words, so he and Liu Shanxia

After a few words of greeting, we stopped talking. Seeing that it was almost time, we invited Liu Shanxia to have lunch with us.

Although Wang Hui was not good at sociability, he also knew that he needed to show his kindness to the landlord. He calculated the approximate time of Liu Shanxia's arrival in Miaoli and asked the logistics department to prepare the fresh ingredients for the banquet a few days in advance. Gao Cong came to report that he had picked up Liu Shanxia.

As a group of people, Wang Hui sent people to prepare for the reception banquet.

Because the local environment is relatively closed, there are no commercial activities, and few high-level people usually come here, so there are no high-end restaurants and hotels here. The place where Wang Hui held a banquet for Liu Shanxia to wash away the dust was located in the third room of the house.

Enter the courtyard, exit from the apartment where Liu Shanxia lives, and walk along the corridor through a courtyard gate.

There are several tables in the courtyard of this courtyard, used to entertain the subordinates who came with Liu Shanxia from afar. Liu Shanxia was invited into the main hall. There were already several people waiting here. Wang Hui introduced them one by one, all of them were local grassroots officials.

Gao Cong, who went to the beach to pick up Liu Shanxia and his party in the morning, was also present. However, because of his low official position, he was not qualified to sit in the main hall, so he could only sit in the courtyard with Liu Shanxia's men.

The local military chief is a young captain named He. According to Wang Hui, he is Yan Chujie's disciple, and he is quite optimistic about this young officer. However, Liu Shanxia knows that Yan Chujie is a military commander in Sanya Land and Sea.

He is a lecturer at the Military Academy. He has taught at least hundreds of military students. There is nothing special about his status as a disciple. If this Second Lieutenant He can really win the favor of Yan Chujie, I am afraid he will be arranged to go to areas where he can get military merit.

After serving in the military, why would he be sent to work as a security guard for oil workers in a remote mountainous forest environment like Miaoli?

Although the living conditions in Miaoli do not look very good, the food ingredients are very rich, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Among the more than 20 dishes served on the table, none of the ingredients are the same, and the dishes taste good. Liu Shanxia also ate it with great pleasure, and praised Wang Hui for enjoying it.

Life.

Wang Hui responded with a smile: "The environment here is indeed a bit primitive, so we can only pay more attention to food and accommodation to prevent the quality of life from declining too much. My cook was hired from Zhangzhou by the previous local official

Yes, when I first came to take office, I ate the food he cooked and thought his cooking was good, so I simply let him stay. When my successor comes, I will have to recommend this chef to him."

Liu Shanxia asked casually: "Who are you planning to send to take over?"

Wang Hui shook his head and said: "I haven't been notified yet and I don't know the specific personnel arrangements. But according to the time, the work handover should be within this month."

Liu Shan Xia thought that the arrangement of the Ministry of Industry was really procrastinating. Wang Hui here was ready to resign, but Sanya had not yet decided who to send to take over. But then he thought about it, maybe Bai Kesi was suffering from no one to send.

, after all, Miaoli is not a good place. Not to mention the closed environment and the lack of benefits, who would be willing to stay here for a year and a half.

But those are all matters of the Ministry of Industry. As an outsider, Liu Shanxia will definitely not comment. The most important thing is to complete his own tasks. Liu Shanxia does not care about how Wang Hui will hand over the work. What he cares about is that he has to organize the construction here.

Whether various infrastructure projects can be implemented smoothly.

"Old Wang, you also know my mission to Miaoli this time. What is the transportation demand here? Can you tell me briefly?" After Liu Shanxia had a drink with Wang Hui, he took the initiative to mention business.

Wang Hui responded: "Based on the current production scale of the oil production area, the existing water transportation capacity can basically meet the transportation needs. The materials transported from here to the outside of the mountain may only be 20 to 30 tons per month.

The amount coming in is about the same, so the demand for land transportation is not that urgent. However, I heard that the higher-ups intend to expand the production capacity here and introduce immigrants to develop it. In the long run, it is indeed necessary to build a road, which can also promote

Development of areas along the way.”

The transportation boat Liu Shanxia took when he entered the mountain in the morning may only have a carrying capacity of two to three tons. However, if the monthly transportation demand here is only twenty or thirty tons, then the transportation boat is indeed enough to meet the demand here.

.

"Then do you think it is necessary to build a freight railway here?" Liu Shanxia continued to ask.

"You mean from the oil production area to the seaside?" Wang Hui shook his head repeatedly and said: "I don't think there is such a need in recent times. Even if we increase the mining intensity in the sulfur pit, the daily oil production will only be a few tons.

That’s all…it’s better to use the funds to build larger petroleum distillation towers and improve our petroleum refining process. Hasn’t Sanya always complained that the purity of various refined oils is not ideal? In fact, the advanced processes are all ready-made, and they are nothing more than

It depends on whether you are willing to spend money to upgrade the equipment. As long as there is qualified mass-produced fuel, the application of the engine is only a matter of time."

Whether it is the improvement of oil refining technology or the development of internal combustion engines, it will obviously not be as easy as Wang Hui said, but the direction he mentioned is indeed right. If Haihan wants to obtain more advanced fuel power, then

Technological upgrading in the petrochemical field is definitely a necessary measure.

However, Liu Shanxia knew far more information than Wang Hui, so he poured cold water on Wang Hui unceremoniously: "The financial budget is limited and can only be used in higher-priority areas. For example, recently we have to send goods from Shandong

In order to rush to transport refugees, funds must be allocated to resettlement projects first, while projects such as expanding production capacity in oil production areas can only be allocated later."

Wang Hui sighed and said: "Old Liu, I also understand what you are saying. In such a big country with so many affairs, it is difficult to keep everything balanced. But I am engaged in the chemical industry, so I can only hope.

The country should pay more attention to this field and allocate more funds to improve production technology."

Liu Shanxia knew that it would be difficult to stay on the same channel when discussing national affairs with technicians like Wang Hui, not to mention that there were so many naturalized officials who were accompanying guests, so some things should not be said too loudly in front of his subordinates.

Frankly, he immediately changed the topic and asked to arrange time in the afternoon to visit the production status of local oil wells.

This was Wang Hui's job, and it was also one of the few opportunities to demonstrate his professional abilities in front of Liu Shanxia. He agreed immediately and ordered one of his subordinates to clean up the production site immediately, leaving only the necessary technical operators.

After taking a short rest after the meal, the group left the house and visited the production area on the other side of Houlong River.

The situation in the production area is not as bustling as Tiandu Industrial Zone or Changhua Industrial Zone. Only two beam-type oil pumping units driven by steam engines are running continuously. This type of oil pumping unit is also called kowtow.

The machine drives the plunger of the oil pump to move up and down through the connecting rod mechanism and crank, thereby continuously pumping the crude oil in the oil well to the ground.

Limited by the current manufacturing and processing capabilities and mining scale, the size of these two pumping units is much smaller than similar products in the old time and space, only about one foot tall. Wang Hui gave Liu Shanxia a brief introduction.

The working principle of this oil pumping unit is that the pumped crude oil is directly input into the tank next to it through the oil pipe. The distillation tower for refining the crude oil stands not far away, and is taller than the oil pumping unit.

It's a few feet, maybe a little over two feet, but only about three feet in diameter. It's thin and long, with many pipes connected up and down.

Looking at these petrochemical equipment, Liu Shanxia, ​​even a layman, could tell that the scale of production here was indeed very limited. No wonder Wang Hui said that there was not much to be shipped out.

"Currently, the daily output of refined oil can only be measured in kilograms, which is really not much. We can produce dozens of tons of fuel oil in a year, and it has to be transported all the way back to Sanya for secondary refining. Otherwise,

It’s simply unusable.” Wang Hui said with regret: “If we can upgrade the equipment here and improve the level of distillation technology, we can produce qualified refined oil in one step. This way in the future

By developing Miaoli, we can even promote the use of new engines such as diesel engines nearby, such as using them to make diesel-powered transportation boats, tractors, and various other agricultural machinery we can think of, so that the local agricultural production level far exceeds that of other places!

"

When Wang Hui talked about his work, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and even began to look forward to the huge benefits that the petrochemical industry would bring to the local area. Liu Shanxia saw the way he was beaming when he spoke, and realized that this man was not as dull as he seemed, but he was actually still

There will be goals that he wants to achieve. Unfortunately, Wang Hui's term is coming to an end, and it may be difficult for him to realize the beautiful visions he has described.
