"——The above is my financial report." Xiao Zishan finished the report in front of a group of serious-looking people in the conference room. Finally, he added a superfluous sentence: "I promise not to be greedy for a penny!"
"Whether there is any problem with the finances will be known after the financial department audits it, so don't guarantee it." Ma Qianzhu doesn't trust such free evidence as swearing to guarantee. If no one is embezzling now, it's because there is no need at the moment.
Just corruption.
"Now let me talk about the current progress of each department, their requirements and the problems they face." Ma Qianzhu took out his notebook.
As of today: November 10, 1628, the progress of the time travellers’ work since D+71 is:
Communications: The wireless call network centered on Bairencheng has been basically completed, covering a range of 35km to 40km. A remote radio station has been set up in Guangzhou and a 15w radio station has been set up in Yanchang Village.
The next step is to complete the wired telephone installation in Bopu Port-Baicheng City, Damei Village-Baicheng City, Yanchang Village-Baicheng City, and set up a main telephone office in Bairen City.
Problem: Lack of adequate wires and insulation equipment.
After joint consultations, the industrial sector and the communications sector believe that telephone lines can be produced on their own, provided that raw materials: iron wire or copper wire can be obtained. As for insulating equipment, glass can be used instead.
Energy: Completed the total installed power generation capacity of 630kw, including 200kw hydropower and 420kw thermal power (Bopu and Bairencheng each have a 213kw pot camel generator to generate electricity). Other energy sources are 10kw. Completed the transmission of Bopu-Bailencheng
Distribution network. A wind power generation system is installed in Yanchang Village.
The next plan is to add a 200kw unit to the second phase of the Bairentan Hydropower Station.
Existing problems: Insufficient building materials and labor.
Construction: 1 16-hole wheel kiln, 1 lime kiln, 2 combined brick and tile machines, 1 indigenous electric grinder. The maximum annual production capacity of bricks and tiles is 30 million pieces. In addition, it can produce 1 ton of pozzolanic cement per day.
1 cement kiln, the project progress is 85%, and it will be able to produce 55 tons of Portland cement per day after completion.
Problems: lack of coal and iron ore necessary for making cement. Lack of cement and steel, making it impossible to use concrete construction.
Transportation: The construction of the Bopu-Bairencheng-Lingao County simple highway has been completed.
The next step is to build the Bairentan Bridge, open a simple road from Yanchang Village to Bairencheng, and renovate the Bopu Port-Bailintan section of the Wenlan River to make it suitable for shipping.
Currently owned vehicles: 12 four-wheel drive agricultural vehicles, 2 Beijing 212 jeeps, 4 750 motorcycles with buckets, 10 125 motorcycles, and 200 bicycles. The industrial department also renovated and renovated 17 vehicles seized during the battle.
Handcarts, 10 two-wheeled carriages were built by ourselves. In addition, two small boats were unloaded from the Fengcheng Wheel and used for water transportation on the Wenlan River. However, the runoff depth of this river is limited (only 1 meter in dry season), and there is a lack of suitable equipment for crossers.
The scale of water transportation is actually very small due to the shallow draft ships.
The wear and tear of large-scale construction engineering machinery is relatively serious, especially the consumption of hydraulic parts. These parts are limited to industrial levels and cannot be repaired. According to current engineering intensity estimates, various vulnerable parts will be consumed within 18 months. Cars, motorcycles
The car is in good condition. However, the fuel supply prospect is worrying. There are still plenty of diesel reserves. Gasoline is volatile and deteriorates easily, so there is not much in stock. It will be used up soon. Alternative energy sources need to be developed as soon as possible. There is a lot of lubricating oil in stock, and the development of ready-to-use products has been completed.
The agricultural sector was launched, with the target being castor. The manufacture of four-wheel carriages was stranded because of the lack of metal materials, steering gears, and leaf springs for shock absorbers.
Manufacturing and processing industry: The infrastructure construction and equipment installation of the machinery plant have been completed. The machinery plant is based on the Zhan Wuya machinery plant and added some machinery and equipment. However, so far, the start-up is seriously insufficient and is at a low level.
The state of the pot.
The processing and manufacturing of woodware, bamboo and rattanware is relatively prosperous. In particular, the manufacturing of safety helmets has formed batch capabilities. Bopu's wood processing and woodware manufacturing have formed a stable scale, with a drying kiln and a retorting kiln. Not only can it produce various
Boards, furniture, and wooden components of various sizes can also be used to produce wood tar, tannins, and charcoal. Although jute is lacking, quite strong ropes have been successfully made using local flax and hemp.
Chemical Industry: Controls the main salt field in Lingao: Ma Niao Salt Field. It adopts traditional manufacturing methods and can produce 1 ton of table salt per day. The short-term goal is to improve and expand the scale and strive to produce an average of 5 tons of unrefined coarse salt per day.
1 ton of table salt.
An 800-ton synthetic ammonia and combined alkali production system and a coal coking chemical system are being installed. These complete sets of equipment are heavy, have many parts, and have many pipelines. The installation is very complicated and the progress is slow. Fortunately, it can travel through many places at once.
There is also no ability to supply coal on a large scale. The chemical industry department plans to build another local electrolytic salt factory in Bopu to manufacture salt, caustic soda and bleaching powder. For this reason, it has applied to expand the capacity of the generator in Bopu.
Since the synthetic ammonia industry has not been put into production, the chemical industry team can only focus on the utilization of existing materials. They have successfully made ammonia wood gunpowder from the ammonium nitrate in stock. They are currently concentrating on the gunpowder seized from Gou's house.
Granulation treatment. Use the nitric acid brought in to trial-produce nitrocellulose and mercury fulminate. Because of the greater risk, we applied to find a safer location as a gunpowder factory.
Mining and Metallurgy Department: Controlled 1 quarry for construction. Mineral resources that can be fully supplied include: clay, limestone, quartz sand, and lignite.
Four small converters and supporting forging machines, rolling mills, cold drawing machines and other steel processing equipment are installed. If pig iron can be fully supplied, 10-15 tons of crude steel can be produced every day. However, the operation is only intermittently started.
The raw materials for a 1-ton converter are iron cannons, weapons and iron captured in previous battles, as well as partially damaged steel tools. The fuel used is charcoal, which consumes a lot of money and can only produce urgently needed hardware and tools.
The construction of a blast furnace requires a large amount of iron ore, coke, and lime, and it is not appropriate to shut down the furnace once it is ignited. Construction will not be performed temporarily if the supply of raw materials cannot be guaranteed.
Civil sector: One indigenous papermaking workshop has been put into operation, using rags, waste cotton and straw to make daily coarse paper. It is planned to recruit some papermaking masters in the mainland to improve the paper. In addition, after the acid and alkali products are put into mass production, it will
The construction of a modern paper mill has begun, which will not only fully supply the public's own needs for office and household paper, but also enable large-scale export to the mainland and overseas.
Those that have been put into operation or are about to be put into operation include: textile factories, clothing factories, food factories, and ceramic factories.
Glass factories, sugar refineries, and cigarette factories are temporarily unable to put into production due to raw material problems. The raw material problems are being resolved.
"In general, our industrialization is mainly stuck on three important issues: electricity, coal, and iron." Ma Qianzhu concluded his speech and built an industrial system - even if they are targeting the industrial system of the 19th century.
, it is still difficult to implement it.
Regarding pig iron, if the channels for obtaining pig iron from Guangdong can be opened, a stable supply of pig iron will be obtained in a longer period of time. Coal, the executive committee decided to send people to Vietnam to buy coal as soon as possible. He suggested that to buy coal, we might as well dispatch a barge.
Just buy 1,000 tons of it at once. As coal is the main chemical raw material, it is not an exaggeration to consume some diesel.
"With sufficient coal and steel, the industrial sector can imitate steam engines. With sufficient prime movers, industrial capabilities can immediately reach a higher level." Ma Qianzhu explained. The efficiency of steam engines is not high, but it has a simple structure and is easy to use.
Manufacturing is very suitable for traveling through the current situation. In addition to being used to drive generators, it can also directly drive the operation of some machinery. The executive committee is also preparing to use it as a power source for ships in the future.
In addition to steam engines, the industrial sector also manufactures various hardware parts and tools in large quantities. These products are in great demand during the current infrastructure construction boom, and the supply is almost in short supply.
Next, Wu De, as the supervisor of the labor department, reported, "The labor force is still relatively tight. As of 0:00 this morning, the human resources under direct control are as follows-"
Traveling crowd: 478 people
Bairen production team: 141 people
Bairen Production Team 2: 605 people (moved from the original Goujiazhuang)
Prisoners: 153 people (servants, servants, members of the Gou family, etc.)
Servants: 176 (bought in Guangzhou, 98 have been shipped back)
The human resources indirectly controlled by Chuanzhong are:
Yanchang Village: 200 households, about 800 people
Damei Village: 50 households, about 250 people
From the perspective of population structure, there are many young and middle-aged people in the indigenous labor force, but the ratio of men to women is imbalanced. Especially in the two production teams, the male-to-female ratio in the first team is as high as 9:1; in the second team, it is also 5:1. In the two villages,
Except that the ratio of men to women in Yanchang Village is relatively normal, the same problem exists in Damei Village.
The reason is that there is a large migrant population in Laggao, which has always been the main immigration location for mainland immigrants. There are many single farmers from other places who come to reclaim wasteland and work part-time and part-time jobs, mainly from Guangdong and Fujian. However, after an inventory, it was found that there are
As far away as Jiangxi, Lianghu and even Beizhili and Shandong.
Such a population structure is very beneficial in the short term. After all, young and middle-aged men are the main force in construction. However, in the long term, where there is a lack of women, men will not start families and start businesses there. Therefore, when introducing immigrants in the future, we need to focus on controlling the ratio of men to women.
