The genius had just been shining for a while, and there were already many pedestrians and trucks carrying goods on the road. Dai Dehou still remembered the bustling scene of traffic when he first came to this road. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes.
Even the streets in the famous ancient cities mentioned by the storyteller are probably not as good as Baibo Road in Lingao.
Unexpectedly, the head of such a road was not satisfied, and later built this railway. This was really a road paved with iron! Iron bars thicker than arms were laid on the wood. This feeling of extravagance made Dadehou
Every time I look at it I feel distressed - how much does it cost?
The main road and the railway were built next to each other, away from the Baojia River. The leaders gave it the elegant name of Wenlan River, but he was still used to the old name. Dai Dehou looked across the rows of camphor wood piles and saw that the rice fields opposite were divided into large squares.
Further away, on the slopes of Oxiang Ridge—now called Gaoshan Ridge—larger aqueducts divert the extra water from the reservoir, and a row of bungalows are built next to them, which are the residences of the chiefs' farm laborers.
The place.
A few days ago, when the autumn harvest was busy, Dai Dehou worked as a seasonal laborer and went to the rice fields on the farm. The fields were full of rice waiting to be harvested, and the heavy golden bones made him happy just to look at them.
The leaders are really good at making rice so good.
Dai Dehou is just forty this year. His ancestors were originally from Lingao. Later, the ancestors split up and his family went to Danzhou Real Estate to live. Although it is not a wealthy family, it is still a well-off family. His family
He had several acres of thin farmland and a small shop in Danzhou city that sold fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Food and clothing were not a problem. However, a few years ago there was a storm in Danzhou. Not only was his family severely damaged, but he was also injured accidentally, so he had to
I borrowed money, and my life has been very tight these past few years.
Later, when the Australians arrived in Lingao, everyone thought they were more powerful pirates at first and left after causing trouble. Unexpectedly, within a year the Australians had built roads as far as Nanbao. At this time, people in Danzhou were also panicked.
After his family moved out and he had to repay the loan immediately, he was forced to sell off his property at a low price to pay off the debt. Then a lot of cheap Lingao fishing suddenly appeared in the Danzhou market. His dry goods business plummeted and he lost a fortune.
With the pen, the whole family's life was suddenly at a loss.
Dai Dehou thought that he still had relatives from the same clan in Lingao. Although they only had contact during the New Year, they could help him to some extent. He also heard that the market in Lingao was very prosperous under the rule of the Australian Prime Minister and there was a lot of business to be done, so he thought he would come here.
Gao is looking for food.
Only when I came here did I realize that the catch sold by the chief here was so cheap that he couldn't do it in his old job. He also wanted to join the chief's gang, but this Australian chief was not an ordinary pirate. To work for them, he had to join them.
It is a custom to shave your hair and wear clothes.
The ancestor of the Dai family, Dai Dingshi, was originally a member of the Song Dynasty and was one of the celebrities in the history of Lingao. Although the literary style of his generation has long been lost, Dai Dehou still has some literary spirit in him. Besides, his old parents are still there, so they don’t dare to give it to them.
Bear this guilt.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of work here. Dai Dehou's family rented a relative's house, and he worked part-time here and there. His parents, his wife and children did some small business, which provided them with enough food and clothing, but living under the influence of others was not a long-term solution.
Not far from a large construction site of half-renovated buildings, the train began to slow down and slowly stopped at the station. Then the horn sounded to announce the station.
"Passengers please pay attention, passengers please pay attention, Ma Niao New District Station has arrived, Ma Niao New District Station has arrived, passengers who get off here please queue up to get off! The next stop is Ma Niao Industrial Zone Station."
Dai Dehou quickly got out of the car. This construction site is where he does temporary work at night. It is an area for employees' families. They are all buildings. Only employees are eligible to buy them. It is more than three miles back here, and two miles further is where his family lives temporarily.
place.
At this moment, the day shift has started, and thousands of workers wearing blue cloth work clothes are working enthusiastically inside. There are also many men and women wearing miscellaneous clothes of various colors. They are either going back and forth between the train station and the construction site, or moving or moving under the command of the foreman.
Carrying, moving the construction materials that have just been unloaded by the crane on the railway station to the construction site, or doing some physical work such as picking up stones and pulling a wheelbarrow. These are the same temporary jobs as Dai Dehou.
"Everyone from Group 35 has come to sign in and get ready to start work!" A foreman with a shaved head and wearing blue clothes ran over with a clamp.
Dai Dehou hurried over. The so-called sign-in was to put a fingerprint on the paper, and then get the tools and start working.
Temporary workers naturally do simple physical work, and are paid on a piece-rate basis. Of course, the pay is not high, let alone compared with regular employees.
Dai Dehou was very envious after he found out about the treatment of the official employees of the chiefs: his income was several times that of him, and the whole family could afford to eat meat every day - meat from seafood, of course. Fish in Lingao market is not expensive, especially in seafood factories.
The fish balls, fish intestines and the like are very cheap, and even people like him who work part-time can buy them every once in a while since they moved here. The most important thing is that the head of the staff has also settled the house.
Just paying some circulation coupons every month is enough, which is much better than his family staying in a side house at a relative's house.
There are more and more people in Lingao now. There are many jobs around Bairen City and it is easy to make a living. But it is too difficult to buy a house. The chiefs are building more and more big houses on their sites, but they have to join in to buy them. In other places
His homestead has been in Lingao for a year and the selling price has been rising steadily. Now even if the price is high, few people are willing to sell it. If he doesn’t get a house sooner, I’m afraid he won’t have a place to stand in the future. His family can’t keep borrowing it.
Staying with relatives.
Bobu Seafood Processing Factory started a new day surrounded by steam.
The freshest soft clams collected at dawn have been carefully stripped of their flesh, washed several times with water, and sorted into different porcelain jars.
"Well, this tank is full of oysters, just 15% is fine, that's 15%!"
Hu Yicheng stared at his apprentice and wrote down the numbers to make sure he didn't misremember the concentration of hydrochloric acid. Then he wrote down the date and type, and pasted it on the lid of the porcelain cylinder before looking back.
Various shrimps, crabs and shellfish, due to different carapace compositions, not only require different concentrations of hydrochloric acid to dissolve, but also require different processing times and yields, so the purchase prices are naturally very different.
Against the wall stood a porcelain vat that had begun to be acid-leached. Hu Yicheng walked over there, looked at the sign, opened one of the vats, picked up a porcelain rod and stirred it inside.
"Well, it's just that there are no bubbles. This tank can be cleaned. Please clean it a few more times!"
Seeing the rough hands and feet of the workers, Hu Yicheng couldn't help but feel a little angry. The quality of the workers in the seafood processing factory was far worse than that in the pharmaceutical factory. There were only a few indigenous managers with B diplomas, but they had to be responsible for their duties. These ordinary workers
They don't have much education, and it's good to be careless and unreliable. A few days ago, some workers drank hydrochloric acid because they were curious about whether it was salty and sour! He had to put aside his work at the pharmaceutical factory and come here in person.
Watch.
The workers on the morning shift didn't dare to take a breath, so they started to clean it over and over again with clean water. Since there were no acid-base indicators such as phenolphthalein and methyl red, they had to clean it several times to ensure that it was clean. It was inefficient and wasted water.
Up.
Hu Yicheng walked outside again, where there were two porcelain steamers, where the cleaned raw materials were being boiled twice with a 4% sodium hydroxide solution.
Then there was the decolorization process that was the most troublesome before. Since there was no stable supply of potassium permanganate and sodium bisulfite, we had to constantly experiment and improve the process, which also delayed the project's mass production schedule a lot.
Currently, it is soaked in 4% dilute hydrochloric acid, stirred non-stop for two days, and then exposed to the sun for one day to obtain semi-finished chitin.
After that, it can be sent to the pharmaceutical factory to be cooked with 40% strong alkali for six hours, washed, dehydrated and dried, and the much-needed product - chitosan can be obtained.
This is a glassy, white and transparent colloidal solution. It is insoluble in water, dilute acids and alkalis. It has a high viscosity, is light-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, non-deliquescent, non-weathering, and not afraid of insects.
, anti-wrinkle and anti-shrink.
Due to these properties, it has a wide range of uses. In the textile industry, it can be used as a styling agent to produce crisp, washable shirt collars that do not deform, or as an advanced fixing agent for dye coatings. In the electric power industry, it can be used as a special
It can be used as a protective film for wires, or as an insulating material. In the paper industry, it is also the raw material for high-end paper such as capacitor paper, banknote paper, copper paper, etc. In the food industry, it can be used as a thickening agent and as a clarifier for high-grade white sugar.
agent.
Of course, in Lingao, its most important use now is medical. Although there is still a shortage of many reagents and there is no way to produce surgical sutures, it is not difficult to produce hemostatic dressings with gelatin, glycerin and chitosan, whether in the north
During engine operations in full swing or at high-altitude construction sites, trauma such as massive bleeding is very common. These hemostatic dressings can save many people's lives.
Shit, another tank was used up. Hu Yicheng returned to the house and looked at the panicked look on the worker's face. He no longer had the energy to curse anymore.
"This tank should be scrapped." Hu Yicheng waved his hand feebly and threw out these words.
Due to the lack of modern chemical preparations and primitive inspection methods, the production of medicinal chitosan in Lingao is carried out according to the most stringent standards in terms of technology. For example, extremely stringent standards are set for the freshness of raw materials, so the chitin cannot be shipped.
When it is re-produced at the pharmaceutical factory in Bairen City, it can only be processed into semi-finished products at the seafood processing factory in the port area. If it does not meet the standards, it can only be scrapped and sent to a garment factory or paper mill for waste recycling.
Medicinal use requires the freshest shell materials, and frozen dead ones cannot be used temporarily. However, the fresh crustacean seafood salvaged by Lingao Fishery Company from the ocean usually only retains the most economically valuable ones. It is too wasteful to use it in medicine.
As the process improves, if such fresh raw materials are not needed in the future, the purchase price will naturally be lowered or even stopped.
