Section 10 Maritime Patrol

It stands to reason that Qi Feng is completely uninterested in places like coal mines - Qi likes traditional classicism and is not very interested in painting the beauty of working class labor or the grandeur of industrialization.

Yuanying, who wants to go to the coal mine, can't find suitable materials for a Mediterranean-style area currently being built. According to Qi Yuan's idea, this house should be a whole, and the walls should be whitewashed. This is easy to say, and it should have a gravel foundation.

As for the fence, this is easy to say, and the doors and windows have two clever combinations of blue and yellow, which is even better.

Only the rosy red tiles he dreamed of could not be found anywhere in Lingao. The red ones made by firing in Lingao were always not quite right, and they were completely different from the color in his memory. They always looked gray.

. He went to brick kilns and ceramic factories to find people to try firing several times, but he couldn't get the color he wanted. Without bright red tiles, how could it be so eye-catching under the blue sky and green trees on the edge of the blue sea?

However, it is impossible to import things like tiles.

After scratching his head for a long time, Qi Feng went to the Central Laboratory of Heavy Industry—this laboratory is a large laboratory designed to provide various chemical analyzes for the production of enterprises in the heavy industry system—and asked them to analyze various raw materials for firing bricks and tiles.

Composition. After laboratory analysis, it was concluded that the Lingao area is a marine sedimentary formation. There is no high-iron quartz clay he wanted. The rich calcium and magnesium ions in the clay layer will paint all the sintering products with a white layer.

The miserable gray color makes the red bricks less attractive. However, similar clay bricks can be found in Jiazi coal mine.

With the efforts of Tang Menglong of the Jiazi Mining Bureau, the original Jiazi mining area was deeply developed to find more lignite suitable for coking. Hainan's lignite is generally inferior coal: high ash content, high gangue, and low calorific value. Changchang

The theoretical reserves of coal mines are 67.21 million tons, but there are only more than 9 million tons of real lignite. The remaining 85% is called low calorific value fuel, that is, coal with a lot of gangue and gangue with a lot of coal.

In order to save transportation capacity, a coal washing plant was built in Jiazi Mine. A large amount of coal gangue left over from washing was accumulated in the mining area. Over a long period of time, several small hills have accumulated.

The accumulation of these things has become a big trouble, takes up space, is easy to spontaneously ignite, and pollutes water sources. Mr. Tang went to the Planning Institute several times to explain the pros and cons, and proposed comprehensive utilization. In the end, the Planning Institute approved him to build a brick factory locally.

The two mining areas of Changchang and Changpo where Jiazi Coal Mine is located contain a large amount of mining clay. It has the first, second and third grades. In addition, a large amount of coal gangue can be used as fuel and raw materials. When comprehensively utilized, it can be used from ordinary bricks to

Everything from pottery to high-performance refractory bricks and high-temperature crucibles can be fired.

Although there is a large demand for bricks and tiles in Lingao construction, it is limited by transportation capacity. The quantity of bricks and tiles transported from Jiazi Coal Mine to Lingao is not large. Except for some refractory bricks and special-shaped refractory ceramics required for industrial entrances,

It mainly supplies Qiongshan and Wenchang areas. Liu Xiang presided over the farmland water conservancy construction in Qiongshan and became a major consumer.

Mr. Tang also burned many large and small utensils and handicrafts and sent them to Lingao to sell them to the construction industry, industry and foreign trade departments. There are many Tang flower pots in the big library. Mr. Qi asked the indigenous staff to come over

, wash it with water and take a look... OK, that's it.

So I placed an order, got the drawings, made the goods, and waited for the ship. However, the ships returning from Jiazi Coal Mine were all loaded with coal, and there was also a small amount of tonnage loaded with grade gangue used to burn cement. There was little left.

It is necessary to install Class I refractory clay and refractory bricks, and if Qi Yuanlao's Class III clay products are to be installed as planned, it will have to wait until the second half of the year at least.

So Qi Feng shyly expressed his needs to the female pirate. In the end, he stared innocently at the female pirate's pupils with his big eyes. It doesn't matter if he is cute. The female pirate will use his hands and feet now.

As for the feet, the beauty man's words mean that he will rush forward even if it means a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. Qi Feng kept explaining that he didn't have much money and the budget was too high to pay for shipping blublublu. Li Huamei just kept expressing her loyalty: "Oh, I also want to visit Qiongshan Mansion.

...The little girl's subordinates still need training... They don't know how to sail in shallow seas, they need to practice... Thanks to Qi... Chief Qi thinks highly of..." She just had to sing "Shi Niang, I have a treasure chest". She was all

I never thought that her Hangzhou number couldn't sail into the Nandu River. But in fact, it was just to move some tiles. She had a bunch of yellow and white-haired ghost guys as strong as donkeys in her hands. At most, she would have to use a small boat to move it a few times. Of course, this

That's something for later.

But then Qi Feng mentioned the word "Navy", and she suddenly thought that she had a task tomorrow - she had to go to Kaohsiung to transport goods.

Now Li Huamei couldn't help but feel extremely reluctant. If she had had her past temper, she would have pushed the matter back a long time ago. However, thinking of her heavy undercover responsibility and her sister's whereabouts, she eagerly wanted to help Qi Feng.

It suddenly became cold.

"No, um, Sir... No, Chief, there is no problem in sending you there. But I will go to Kaohsiung later, or... Chief, you can wait for my ship to come back in Qiongshan..."

"Oh, you're going to Kaohsiung. That won't be a problem. I mainly want to bring back more bricks and tiles. It's a pity." Qi Feng rubbed his hands and said with a bit of regret.

"Ah, I will take you there as soon as I come back from Kaohsiung..."

I don’t know what I said after that. Due to the collision caused by the unexpected encounter, Li Huamei didn’t change the gold coins, so I had to come back and talk again. Along the way, I was still scolding myself for being worthless, and couldn’t even finish a sentence.

Can speak.

A single-masted patrol boat was sailing under full sail in the outer waters of Lingdingyang near Hong Kong.

Although this kind of brisk dhow is not large in tonnage, it is fast and has a flexible course. In addition, it has a cannon on the deck that can fire far and fiercely, and two typewriters. It can walk sideways along the coast of the South China Sea.

What's more, the ship is still flying the Morning Star flag - the flag of the current overlord of the South China Sea.

Zhao Zhulong - his official name is Zhulong - is standing behind the bridge, searching the sea with a telescope. His ship belongs to the Coast Guard stationed in Hong Kong, and is responsible for conducting round-the-clock patrols in the waters surrounding Hong Kong to suppress all piracy.

, protect the safety of shipping routes and fishery production.

This task is very boring. It basically involves patrolling along a certain route and investigating suspicious ships encountered - especially those ships that do not fly the Senate's sailing permission flag and fishing flag. But for Zhao Zhulong,

This kind of sailing is quite easy. He has some problems with his legs and feet and cannot withstand years of sailing. This kind of job where he can go to sea during the day and sleep peacefully at night is very suitable for him.

Zhao Zhulong likes people to call him Zhao Da, which can be followed by "Brother", "Master" is the best, "Bo" is okay, and "Uncle" is also reluctant. He especially doesn't like others to call him by his first name.

This bad name was given to him by his father. Zhao Zhuren's father said: "The water in the pig cage is full of gold. If we fishermen don't get water, where will we go?"

Zhao Zhurong's father was Zhao Jinhai. He died when Zhao Zhurong was fifteen years old. He was caught in an unexpected storm and neither the man nor the ship came back.

Zhao Zhulong's mother kept saying that his father's name was wrong, Jinhai Jinhai, that means entering the sea, and how could he come out after entering the sea.

Zhao Zhulong lost his father at the age of fifteen, went to sea with his second uncle at the age of sixteen, and joined Jin Daxiong's gang at the age of eighteen. A year later, Jin Daxiong was shot and killed on the spot while robbing a Fujian ship.

His gang also disbanded, and Zhao Zhurong joined Mr. Zhu Cai's gang together with several of his good brothers.

After more than ten years on the sea, going through life and death, he finally got his own small boat and had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cai Lao was defeated in a battle and the gang collapsed. Zhao Zhulong followed his leader Shi

On the 14th, he defected to the Australians in Lingao.

Like the bosses, Zhao Zhurong also cut his hair, changed his clothes, and entered a study class. After half a year of "political study", he actually passed the C diploma. The former boss teased him: "Zhao Zhurong, you can't see

Come on, you’re still a good reader!”

Zhao Zhulong just smiled and said nothing. He had been drifting at sea for many years, and one of his legs suffered from rheumatism, which made him a little lame. He was studying because he wanted to stay on the shore. Didn't Hu Jiumei and Hu Boss just wash their feet and go ashore?

But he still failed to get ashore. Seeing that his legs and feet were not good, the Australians did not let him join the navy, but let him board a cargo ship. Zhao Zhulong was also renamed Zhao Zhulong, and he was assigned to a small boat for cargo transportation, so he naturally became

Served as a second lieutenant in the Naval Reserve.

At first, I worked on the Linguang Line for two years, and then joined Dabo Company as a captain, and continued to run regular freight routes along the coast. Then Operation Engine began, and the escort and warning force needed to be expanded on a large scale. There were too few skilled sailors.

Even qualified captains could not be found. Zhao Zhulong had been a captain and had a fighting career, so he was recalled to active duty. Because he had problems with his legs and feet, he was not suitable for long-term military service, so he was recruited to take care of him.

The Coast Guard stationed in Hong Kong has a relatively easy task.

Zhao Zhulong was a little uncomfortable with this kind of sailing ship at first, but he could basically master it after a month of training. The principles of sailing by watching the wind are still the same.

Today was his patrol shift as usual. Hong Kong had just experienced a typhoon a few days ago. At this time, the sea was calm and the waves were no more than 1 meter high. The patrol boat sailed briskly and smoothly, and you could almost feel the bumps of the waves.

Zhao Zhulong looked at the sea for a while and then sat down. His rheumatism in his legs was getting heavier and heavier. Although the general hospital had prescribed plaster several times and it could relieve the pain, it would not be a problem if it continued like this.

Only when the idea comes to shore.

But what should I do when I get ashore? He has been making a living at sea since he was a child. Although retired personnel due to injuries and illnesses are assigned jobs as usual, his income is not as good as before, and he does not have a wife yet...

While thinking about it, the lookout whistle shouted: "There is a suspicious ship on the left front!" (To be continued...)
