Ji Runzhi, director of the Planning and Architecture Office of the Sanya Special Economic Zone, placed a folding table in the work shed next to the foundation stone, which is also the construction site headquarters, and spread the architectural planning drawings on it. A gas lamp illuminated the dim work shed brightly.
Ji Yuan and Ji Shu were busy cleaning up the work shed, making it clean and tidy, which made Ji Runzhi feel very comfortable. It is good to have apprentices. These two apprentices cannot be used except to meet physical needs.
In addition, he was meticulous in his service, to the point where he would immediately take out the spit paper as soon as he coughed.
Ji Runzhi is not the kind of person who likes to hide things. If his apprentice pleases him so much, he will be quite attentive in teaching him - even though he is not interested in education.
Under his education, the two apprentices have now mastered simple topographic and landform surveying and simple drawing. Ji Runzhi plans to concentrate on teaching them more professional content after the Sanya development project has settled down a bit. From now on, they will be able to do simple work.
Just let them do it directly without having to do it yourself.
"Okay, you go out first." Ji Runzhi heard someone shouting to stand at attention and salute in the distance outside, and knew that the main military and political leaders in Sanya were here. They were going to review Tian Du's building plan here.
He walked out of the work shed, and sure enough, the Meteor 2 was parked on the platform, puffing out white steam from the station, and workers climbed onto the train to unload the goods. A group of elders were getting off the platform, and the sentries on the platform were saluting with guns raised.
"Isn't your place nice?" Xi Yazhou was the first to get into his work shed and sat down on the bench. "It's much better organized than my headquarters."
"It's all Jiyuan Jishu's fault. The two children are doing a good job." Ji Runzhi greeted the two apprentices waiting outside, "Go and make a pot of tea."
"What kind of tea do you want to make?" Wang Luobin shook the steel travel cup in his hand, "You have brought it all by yourself. Just ask them to get some boiling water."
Ji Shu brought two hot water bottles from the boiling water station - these were high-end luxuries only seniors could enjoy. He poured water for everyone, turned up the gas light switch, and then left.
There was a constant flow of laborers and vehicles all around the work shed, which was very noisy. However, it did not affect the meeting in the work shed. No one of the main military and political officials in Sanya paid attention to this. They all gathered around Ji Runzhi and carefully looked at the fields he had just finished.
Plan the family chart alone and listen to his explanation of planning ideas.
The future Tiandu Iron Mine in this originally humid coastal valley will accommodate tens of thousands of miners and their families. Ji Runzhi not only has to make a layout plan for this emerging town, but also considers future development.
The quality of the iron ore in Tiandu is very good, but the absolute reserves are limited. Judging from the huge demand for steel in the cross-country industry, the mining of Tiandu will not last for more than one generation, so it is necessary to plan well from the beginning.
The question of how to develop after nearby mineral resources are exhausted.
From the perspective of urban development, the coast of Sanya Bay is a more suitable place to develop into a large coastal city. Not only does it have enough coastline as tourism resources, but the sea salt production potential here is also enough to support the development of a city. Moreover, the Sanya River
The river water provides sufficient water source for urban development.
In contrast, the development potential of Tiandu is limited. First of all, the area here is limited, and secondly, once the mineral products are fully developed, it will cause the decline of the town. Mining towns are generally seriously polluted, and industrial transformation is not easy, and may require a lot of work.
Environmental restoration work, therefore Tiandu's sustainable development is not strong, and the storage of water, a necessary resource for a city, is not sufficient, and it is quite difficult to transform into other industrial towns.
Therefore, in the development plan of Sanya, Ji Runzhi only planned Tiandu as a highly functional mining town without any industrial area or commercial area. The town only consists of three parts: the administrative area of the mining company, the living area of the miners and the
Mining Industrial Zone. The latter is just a machinery workshop that repairs machinery for mines, and also provides simple repair services for machinery and equipment in the entire Sanya area.
The water source for cities and mining areas will come from the small reservoir of Tiandu River. According to the exploration by Bai Guoshi and others and the hydrological data of old time and space, the water volume of Tiandu River is the same as that of all rivers in Hainan. There is a huge difference between the dry and rainy seasons. Although now
Since the railway has been built, there is no need to count on the river transportation of Tiandu River, but the total amount of domestic water and mining and industrial water in the town itself is very large, and the crossing is also planning to carry out some basic agricultural production near Tiandu. Taken together, there is no reservoir.
Regulating the amount of water is not enough. It is second best to use it to generate electricity. Small hydropower generation is unbalanced and the amount of electricity generated is not enough. It can only be used to enrich the lives of the elders.
Tiandu's main energy source comes from coal. Transport ships carry iron ore from Sanya and return coal. Some of it is directly used to drive steam engines, and the other part is used to make gas, which is used for lighting, cooking and supplying fuel to local small industries.
.
"There are too few supporting facilities." Wang Luobin looked at his planning map, "The scale of the commercial district is also too small." He continued to comment, "The miners will have wives and children in the future. Where will these people be placed? There must also be excess labor.
According to the arrangement... according to your plan, this town will be a typical bachelor's town."
"That's it." Ji Runzhi explained his considerations, "...it is meaningless to spend too much effort on this town. Its development potential is limited, and Tiandu's ore reserves are not too large.
.So Tiandu can be used for twenty or thirty years."
"If this happens, there will be no women and children in Tiandu Town in the future."
Ji Runzhi nodded: "In my opinion, it is best to have a labor camp type here, similar to the Jiazi Coal Mine. Miners, administrative staff and technical staff all adopt a contract rotation system, and they work alone. They work here for three or four years and then go home. Food
The solution is to use canteens, no individual kitchens, socialized logistics management, food, accommodation and travel are all handled by the Mining Bureau, and the living service facilities are reduced to a minimum. At most, a few small restaurants, small hotels and other facilities can be opened to adjust and adjust the facilities.
A stadium and a brothel allowed the miners to let off steam during their free time."
He went on to say, "There is also Sanya City here, and miners can go to Sanya City for recreation when they have a rest. This can also stimulate the local tertiary industry. Anyway, with the train, it will be very convenient to travel between the two places."
As for Tian Du's future role, Ji Runzhi believes that after the ore is mined, it can be used as a military garrison and as a land fortress surrounding Yulingang.
"Isn't it inhumane to force miners to be bachelors for several years?" Zhuo Tianmin was worried about this.
"I think this is too militarized management." Although Qian Shuixie set out to speak as little as possible, he was naturally disgusted with the social nature of this kind of militarized management.
"This can maximize the intensive management and reduce social costs." Ji Runzhi explained, "If we let them bring their families, we have to arrange employment for their families. If they are not employed, it will be a waste of labor. With their families, they
You must start your own meal. There is no basic commercial circulation and supply of agricultural and sideline products here compared to Lingao. There is nothing here."
The biggest advantage of militarized management is the convenience and uniformity: food, clothing, tools...even women are all uniformly rationed. This greatly simplifies the process of material supply.
"No, I don't think this is good. First, if miners don't have families, they won't have a sense of belonging here. People come and go, and they can't stay. This place will always be just a labor camp - we have to invest a lot of money in developing a town.
Human and material resources cannot be as luxurious as Americans and Russians. When resources are gone, cities will be abandoned and moved. Secondly, women themselves are also a labor resource, and arranging their employment is not a burden for us. For example, in the Sanya development plan
Wood processing plants, copra processing plants and food factories... all of these require a lot of manpower. There is no reason to force miners to use prostitutes to solve their physical problems while at the same time bringing in labor from outside." Wang Luobin said, "The last point: we are most likely to
What is needed is the population, especially children. Such forced singlehood wastes a large number of people of childbearing age. It is not conducive to expanding the population, especially the new generation population."
Children born in the areas controlled by the Crossing Group in recent years can be educated according to the wishes of the travelers. Twenty years later, they will grow into the backbone of the indigenous people in the Crossing country.
"Well, I also think that our top priority is to expand the population of Sanya. Only in this way can we form a stable foundation for rule." He Fanghui agreed, "To put it bluntly, there are no women and children of our own here, and the miners have to work hard to fight and defend it.
I’m afraid it will be difficult even in the mines.”
In the end, it was decided to appropriately expand the miners' living area. The miners' residences were no longer just collective dormitories: a part of the tube building to accommodate family units was built outside the collective dormitory building. The supporting facilities in the living area also increased accordingly, and a primary school and a kindergarten were added.
.In addition to the commercial buildings of the cooperative, some commercial buildings have also been reserved for new merchants to open shops in the future.
As for the strict defense system originally planned and designed by Ji Runzhi, Xi Yazhou felt it was unnecessary.
The defense system designed by Ji Runzhi is basically the same as Sanya's defense system, with trenches and earthen fortresses. However, Xi Yazhou believes that Tiandu's defense pressure is much less than that of Yulingang. Going inland from Tiandu
In the Li District, the level of force of the Li people is very average - a nation that needs to outsource all its iron weapons will suffer a lot in war. And judging from Hu Xun's confession, the Li people have occasional harassment, but rarely on a large scale.
of armed aggression.
"If you want to fight, our thousands of miner militiamen equipped with standard spears and helmets and who have received military training are enough to reach the foot of Wuzhi Mountain."
"This is already the most simplified version of the defense facility. How else can it be simplified?" Ji Runzhi said unhappily when he saw that his plans were rejected one after another.
"Adopt the village model adopted by the German colonists when they marched eastward," Wang Luobin said, "use the houses themselves as fortifications."
The specific method is to surround the independent houses one after another into a square or circular group. The doors and windows of each house are opened to the central space, and the walls facing the outside are not open. Logs or bricks are used between the houses.
Stone walls are connected, leaving only a fortified solid gate for entry and exit.
"This is too crude." Ji Runzhi found it unbelievable. He had also seen this approach before - when building a gated community, the apartment buildings in the outermost ring of the community were directly closed with brick walls.
This approach is enough to protect against petty thieves, but how to protect against armed enemies? Ji Runzhi thinks it is completely unreliable.
"The German immigrants used this method to resist the Slavs and expanded the German land from Swabia to the Oder River and all the way into East Prussia. You have to know that their houses and walls were still made of wood. What we have to face
The Li people were not even as armed as the Slavs - the Slavs at least had iron weapons at that time."
"In addition to the Li people, we should also consider the Ming army or pirates."
"If they have the ability to cross the mountains and pass through Li District, then they are not Ming troops or pirates." Xi Yazhou is confident, "Even if they have the ability and perseverance, it will take at most thirty minutes to dispatch reinforcements from Yulin Fort by train.
Can a few thousand armed miners resist for twenty minutes?"
"Actually, it depends on your planning and architectural design," He Fanghui interjected. "Most of the houses are brick structures with more than two floors. The second floor is five or six meters high, right? The high-level city walls are nothing more than that. Except for one
In addition to not opening windows to the outside of the building, windows above the second floor can still be opened, and at most, iron shutters can be added.”
In the end, it was decided to group all the houses into groups, and then build several blockhouses at key locations as defense cores. Each blockhouse would station a number of key militiamen. The administrative district's office buildings would be fortified in the form of public offices in Sanya City. Finally, excavations would be made outside the entire Tiandu Town.
A trench serves as basic defense.
Xi Yazhou proposed the concept of using armored patrol cars on safety issues at the meeting. He suggested applying to Lingao to build several flatbed rail cars equipped with nested steam engines or better single-cylinder diesel engines, with simple installation on all sides of the car body.
For protection, the car is equipped with a typewriter. The rail car conducts regular patrols on the railway track from Yulinbao to Tiandu. When encountering an enemy attack, it can rush to any point along the line as quickly as possible and attack the enemy with intensive firepower.
.
"Based on the technical level and fighting will of the enemies in this time and space, I don't think there are any enemies in South China who can persist in attacking under the fire of typewriters." Xi Yazhou was very confident.
In addition to being used as mobile reinforcements at any time, the armored patrol vehicles are mainly used to conduct regular security along the railway line. Xi Yazhou is not afraid that the enemy will try this, but is worried that so many railway tracks will arouse the voyeurism of the locals.
