After the crowd's enthusiasm for attention subsided, the big ship purchased from Haijia - which had been named "Qionghai Coal" when it set sail from Lingao - set sail and moved to Haijia Pier. There were already
It was piled with building materials such as wood, bricks, and lime. Chen Tong bought these according to Lin Baiguang's instructions and planned to use them to build the dock.
Zhang Xingpei came to Qiongshan County secretly a few days ago, and he brought a construction team. This team was taught step by step by the traversers of Lingao Construction Company. In terms of its level, it is better than the rural construction in the 21st century.
The contractor team is even stronger. Moreover, they have acquired a skill that the construction contractor team does not have - assembling wooden structure houses.
Zhang Xingpei studied architecture in the United States. He is very interested in the all-wood structure houses that are very common in American residential buildings. So he has put a lot of effort into this type of building. Most of these wooden houses are made of prefabricated parts and are transported
After arriving at the construction site, assembly is completed on the foundation. An independent two-story wooden house building of more than 200 square meters can be completed in four or five days if all efforts are made. It is much faster than laying bricks and beams. After it is built, it can
Put it into use immediately, no need to wait for the cement mortar to dry.
Mei Wan, general manager of Lingao Construction Company, is very interested in this kind of building - the executive committee has always required construction companies to build houses as quickly as possible. If prefabricated houses are used, the construction speed will become very fast.
After several experiments, Zhang Xingpei designed and finalized six types of houses. Lingao Construction Company specially opened a prefabricated house processing factory to produce and reserve such prefabricated houses. They can be built at any time when needed. After the typhoon disaster
It played a huge role when the refugee camps were built.
The human crane on the Qionghai Coal began to lift bundles of prefabricated wooden structures wrapped with straw ropes from the cargo hold, and then hoisted them to the trestle - the trestle was also a prefabricated part, shipped earlier by a cargo ship from Gaoguang Shipping Company
.It took Zhang Xingpei less than five days to complete this regular and sturdy wooden plank road.
The planks of uniform width cut out by the board opener are nailed tightly with broad-head nails, and they feel like walking on flat ground. Two wrought iron rails are installed on the plank road - this is to take into account that a large amount of building materials will be transported in the future.
demand. The prefabricated houses are unloaded onto flatbed trucks and then pushed directly to the storage yard on the shore.
Cement and yellow sand were also lifted out of the cargo hold one by one. In order to speed up the construction progress, Zhang Xingpei specially brought a small cement mixer, driven by a small diesel engine. This thing was carefully placed in an already built building.
The good houses should be guarded by special personnel so that the local indigenous workers hired would not see the fuss and make a fuss about it.
The indigenous workers hired by Chen Tong had previously cleaned and leveled the foundation in accordance with Zhang Xingpei's requirements. The ground was mixed with lime and sand and compacted. Then the construction team of the construction company began to build the houses. All prefabricated houses are elevated.
, the bottom is suspended in the air, eliminating the trouble of laying a foundation.
With the help of a simple earth crane, the wooden structure houses were quickly erected one after another. Zhang Xingpei was surprised at the speed. These houses all showed an ugly gray-black color - this is
The result after tar anti-corrosion treatment.
The biggest problem with this kind of house is that it is not resistant to typhoons. A typhoon that sweeps through will definitely cause the house to collapse. However, Zhang Xingpei believes that this problem is not a big problem. The typhoon season has passed, and judging from Lingao’s experience, the northwest of Hainan Island
It will not be greatly affected by typhoons and will not suffer from typhoons every year. Once the situation stabilizes, we will slowly replace it with masonry buildings.
A week later, Haijia Wharf transformed from a wasteland into a complete coal terminal with a plank road, a dozen various buildings, an open-air stack of thousands of square meters, and three cranes. Then, the local hired
The indigenous workers dug trenches around the entire dock and built walls with bricks and stones. There were all fortifications such as parapets and enemy towers on top. After the completion, it became a fortress. This is not surprising in this time and space.
It was only natural for the Hai family to build a fortress in such a remote place to protect their dock.
Zhang Xingpei also directed people to build a three-story gun tower near the trestle to protect the dock and defend against attacks from the sea.
After the docks were all completed, the four flat-bottomed traffic boats unloaded from Qionghai Coal were filled with construction materials and began to sail upstream along the Nandu River to the Jiazi Coal Mine.
The traffic boat then established a temporary dock on the bank of the Nandu River and unloaded the first batch of supplies.
Facts have proved that although Qiongshan County is a prefectural city, the public security situation is still bad. As soon as four flat-bottomed boats docked, they encountered a group of bandits wearing no clothes. Fortunately, there were guards in civilian clothes on the boats, who fired guns.
After knocking down a few, the crowd was dispersed.
The flat-bottomed boat made another trip that day, bringing more building materials, living supplies and escorts. The escort captain was Huang Xiong, a former Ming Dynasty junior officer carrying a Mini rifle and a cowhide briefcase.
According to what they learned in the crash course for officers, they commanded their men to dismount their horses, dig trenches, and fortify the camp.
Facts have proved that such vigilance is completely necessary. During that night and the following days and nights, there were always suspicious figures moving around the camp. Only because of its tight security and fear of the power of firearms, no one disturbed it.
"The public security situation in Qiongshan County is not good." Lin Baiguang also came to the temporary dock. He came to send Dan Daoqian and his road construction team. Qionghai Coal came to Haikou for the second time and transported a large number of wooden rails and road spikes.
, gravel and road construction teams. Four more transport boats were added.
The mining point is about 9.3 kilometers away from the dock on the riverside. This is a mountainous area and the transportation is not very convenient. In order to facilitate mining and transportation, a fort must be built at the mining point and on the Nandu River, and a track is used to connect the two places.
connect.
Although laying almost 10 kilometers of track is a huge investment, if it is not laid, the transportation efficiency will be disastrous whether it is human or animal transportation.
From the mining point to the riverside dock, it is basically a flat surface. The construction difficulty is very small, and there is a slope of more than ten degrees. The heavy-loaded mine car can slide to the riverside by gravity. This alone saves a lot of effort. Otherwise, the coal mine will have to spend a lot of effort.
Raise a large number of cattle.
"There won't be bandits here, right?" Shan Daoqian was a little timid. He had always organized construction in peaceful places, and this was the first time he had to build roads in a place where people were ready to chop and kill at any time.
"There must be some, and there will be no less." Lin Baiguang warned him, "This is a mountainous area, and the authority of the Ming government is useless."
"As soon as I came out of Lingao, I felt that the genius of the liberated areas was bright and clear." Shan Daoqian said.
"Actually, the bandits are okay. With the escort, I don't believe the bandits can defeat the Mini rifles. The key is to guard against the local mountain people."
"That's right." Shan Daoqian himself has participated in railway projects. Wherever there is a railway project, theft will flourish. Theft, robbery, and extortion of project units are common things in road construction companies.
The dictatorship of the proletariat in the 20th century cannot be eradicated, let alone the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century.
"That's why this time I proposed to continue to use iron-clad wooden rails here instead of forged rails - to lay this thing, we have to attract a group of demolition teams. It's too late to build the road."
Lingao has begun to use forged iron rails. Wooden rails are much worse than railway rails in terms of load-bearing capacity and durability, but they can prevent theft of rails to the greatest extent. In Lingao, the punishment for stealing public property is severe, and in the labor camp
Six months on the team is enough to make you unforgettable.
"It's really troublesome. If we really kill someone, it won't be easy for us to deal with them if they go to the government." Lin Baiguang said. The tribes here in Qiongshan County have no law enforcement power and cannot abuse force. Even with the Hai family as a protective umbrella, this kind of law is not responsible.
It’s also difficult to handle things in public.
"Fortunately, I don't have to take care of things here." Shan Daoqian looked at Lin Baiguang sympathetically, "You're going to have to work hard."
Lin Baiguang remained silent as he was thinking about this issue.
The executive committee put a lot of thought into selecting the director of the Jiazi Coal Mine. This person must know some mining technology, be good at blasting, and must have military skills to command his men to fight against hostilities that may be encountered at any time. This is
People should not be too young, lest they act impatiently and act impulsively.
Finally, Tang Menglong chose the service of the remote exploration team. He is over 30 years old and can be called an old man. He is from a dry mining area, and his profession is barely matched. He has worked in the field for a long time and can bear hardships and stand hard work.
, he is in good health. He also knows some martial arts, so he is a more suitable candidate.
However, this dispatch mission is extremely difficult. Although the long-range exploration team is difficult, they can always come back to Gao to take a breather and enjoy modern life. This is different from being dispatched alone to the Orange Zone-according to the definition of the crossing group, that is, the enemy
The more dangerous area in the occupied area is second only to the red zone where hostilities may occur at any time - it is not the same thing. Far away from the base and partners, commanding hundreds of indigenous people to mine coal in a desolate mountainous area, there is almost no
To enjoy modern life, this spiritual power alone must be very impressive.
Tang Menglong expressed his willingness to accept this dispatch, but he requested that he must be given batteries and charging equipment - otherwise it would be too boring.
"No problem, that's what it should be." Xiao Zishan nodded repeatedly, "In addition, we will arrange a life secretary for you."
"Life secretary?!" Tang Menglong has been talking about the life secretary thing for more than half a year. Except for a few people who were assigned secretaries because of their work and then shamelessly accepted them, no one has received this benefit. The executive committee sees it
This coal mine really spares no expense. This is quite interesting.
