Section 68 Steelmaking(1/2)
Festival 68
After each explosion, the easiest gravel to be collected must be the first to be stolen.
The reason why crushed ore is so popular is that the Qin Mansion’s work points system is calculated based on the work results.
It is also a car, and the weight of pulling large pieces of ore is not as heavy as pulling gravel. Not only is the loading and unloading easier, but the space occupies less space, so the efficiency of each car is also higher.
When there is less and less gravel in nature, miners will look at larger pieces of ore... Although the transportation efficiency is low during this period, the collection efficiency is increased, and it is not much different from the increase and decrease.
After the large ore was finally picked up, the remaining giant ore was the giant ore that could not be moved at all. These giant ore needed to be divided twice, so the workload was extremely large, and the efficiency was reduced a lot.
Fortunately, at this stage, the Qin Mansion will have a working hour subsidy, and this working hour subsidy can also be changed, so the income of miners remains relatively stable.
Just two hours after the last blast, the entire mine had entered the working hours compensation stage. Many groups were lying around their giant ore, and the sound of "ding ding dangdang" spread throughout the mine.
The hammer was swung high and then hit hard on the iron rod, and the fine ore powder floated out under the iron rod.
Sweat fell to the ground drop by drop, but the burly men who were swinging the hammer were completely unaware of it.
"Dangdangdangdang..."
The crisp bell rang, and it was dinner time unknowingly. The strong man who was swinging a sledgehammer slapped slightly, pulled and wiped his sweat and asked, "How much is it?"
"Squad leader, this piece is almost done if it is broken and put on it." The young man holding the iron rod replied.
"Then let's speed up..." As he said that, the man who swung the hammer spat in the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands hard, and then swung the hammer again.
The division of large ores is actually a stonemason's technique - punch a row of eyes and then punch a wedge. Due to the expansion force, the large stone will crack itself in the direction of the eyes.
In fact, the most physically exhausting process was the process of slashing the stone, which was the work done by the squad leader who swung the hammer.
With the joint cooperation of fifteen people in a team, the huge stones were slowly divided into two stones the size of blue bricks, and finally piled into the mine truck one by one.
The cage structure of this mine cart is sealed with wooden boards in the middle, and the load-bearing shaft below is also a specially designed heavy-duty load-bearing shaft that can carry a huge weight without adding too much friction.
The tracks under the mine car are wooden tracks wrapped in iron.
In places deep into the mining area, in order to facilitate the groups, temporary wooden tracks penetrate deep into the entire mining area, so that miners can load the truck without having to run too far.
On the main roads outside the mining area, these tracks become permanent rails.
Although iron-wrapped wood tracks are more likely to break and consume a lot, wood is not a scarce resource in this era, but iron is very expensive.
Moreover, the wooden rails are relatively lightweight and relatively simple to lay. Most of the materials can be reused when dismantled, which is relatively convenient and flexible.
After the group finally saved up a truck of ore, five or six people pushed the car behind, seven or eight people pulled it in front, and a young man with the lightest weight sat on the mine truck to grasp the direction - after all, the mine truck was covered with wooden rails inside the mine area, but no one helped to move the fork here, so he could only rely on the mine truck to control the direction.
After working all day, everyone's physical strength was approaching their limits, and the more the heavy mine truck moved forward, the more it felt, and the speed slowed down unknowingly.
Seeing the fatigue on the team members' faces, the team leader suddenly started to sing:
"One, two, three, huh hey!"
"Drag the mine cart, huhe!"
"You can only get the strength after having a good meal, huh hey!"
“…”
As the singing of similar slogans rang out, everyone was mobilized again and squeezed out the last bit of strength to push the mine cart to the settlement station.
The scale at the settlement station is set under the track. After the mine truck is parked, it will push the winch up, and the scale will rise from below and "lift" the mine truck.
The recorder hung up huge weights and calculated the bottom of the hair, and then asked the miners to continue to push the winch. One side of the mine truck would continue to rise while the other side would lock the mine truck, so that the mine truck would turn the ore into the large mine truck next to it according to the designed direction.
Finally, the recorder will pass the weight of the mine truck again, so that the gross weight will be reduced to the net weight of the ore.
The recorder recorded the ore weight below the group's page, and was surprised to see their workload today.
"Wow! Twelve cars! If you continue to do this this month, your team will be your team!" The recorder smiled and said, "Congratulations..."
"Hehe." The squad leader smiled honestly, and after letting the smallest look at the number, he pressed his handprint after today's measurement.
It’s not that he is taciturn, but because his Chinese is not very good, he doesn’t even understand the words of the recorder. However, he still understands the “model” and “congratulations”. Combined with the smiling expression of the recorder’s face, he naturally knows the current situation of their group.
"Xiao Mu Ren, what did the commander just now mean?" the man who was the squad leader asked in a low voice.
"He just said that we may get the model of this month!" The young man named Mu Ren was also very happy.
"Model, I heard that there are many benefits?"
"Yes, if you get the model, you will get the lowest food in the next month and you will get a medium-sized meal. Then you will send new clothes, new shoes, toiletries, and thick and soft towels... There are 3 bath tickets per week!"
With the introduction of the young man, everyone smiled.
They had heard that there were many benefits to being a model. After working hard for so long this month, they were more for these special preferential treatments.
Under the current system of refugee camps, the harder they work, the better they will be. When they were dissatisfied, they were passive and lazy in their work, and sometimes they couldn’t even fill their stomachs.
Now, after changing their mindset, their lives are getting better and better, and they can even reach the top treatment in the refugee camp immediately. Such a real improvement is the most exciting thing.
Today's main dish is chicken, mushroom stewed yam, soup is seaweed and egg flower soup, and the main dish is fragrant white rice... and it is unlimited!
As the top performers last week, their table can be said to be the focus of the difficult canteen.
When I eat my mouth full of oil, many people can't even eat mixed grain cakes... Under such a strong contrast, a sense of superiority arises naturally.
In the foreseeable future, this class will inevitably work harder and harder for the Qin Mansion.
If the prisoners have any dissatisfaction, it is probably shackles.
But they complained that shackles were not because of anything else, but because they would slow down their work efficiency.
As for whether these complaints are really for work efficiency, they probably only know them themselves.
However, no matter how they complain, the shackles must not be removed, which is a matter of principle.
...
On the other hand, the mine settlement station.
After the last car of ore was handed over, a large car carrying a huge amount of ore was connected together, and then it was pulled from the front of a car with high power and high torque towards the factory area next to it.
Not far from the mine, is the mine dressing factory.
Here, large pieces of ore will be crushed by the machine into finger-sized fragments, and then the highest-grade ore will be picked out through the ore dressing process.
At present, Qinfu adopts a relatively simple reselection method. The basic principle is to use the different specific gravity of mineral raw materials in the water flow to select particles with more iron-enriched particles.
Although the reselection method requires a large amount of water flow, it does not pollute the water itself, mainly because some mineral powders will be discharged with the wastewater... However, most of the powders will precipitate and will not dissolve in the water body, so naturally there will be no excessive pollution.
The main source of power for the mine treatment plant is a large gas machine. After all, the water flow near the mine is relatively smooth and the flat ground is relatively small, so inefficient hydraulic power cannot be used.
The degree of automation of mine dressing factories is nothing in later generations, but it has been very high in this era, so much less operators are needed.
But no matter how few people are, it requires many workers. For safety reasons, the mine dressing factory is completely separated from the mining area, and the dormitory area is also located on the other side of the river, which basically does not intersect with the prisoners of war.
The defenders of the mine also lived with the workers in the community across the river. Of course, there were soldiers left behind in the prisoner camp at night.
Moreover, in order to deal with special circumstances, two armored vehicles were stationed in the prisoner camp, a total of six armored vehicles equipped with rotary machine guns.
With these six armored vehicles, even if everyone rebels at the same time, it will only cost some ammunition.
These armored vehicles can be said to be the Dinghai Shenjian placed by the Qin Mansion in Panzhihua. As long as they are in Panzhihua, they will definitely not be messed up.
