The elders and workers who were waiting at the Sanya An Entertainment Pier to watch the Great Whale dock slowly and wait to install equipment certainly didn’t know that the cargo wrapped in reed mats and oilcloth on the deck of the Great Whale had such a complicated origin. The elders
People are accustomed to industrial workers creating miracles. As for naturalized people, they take this kind of thing completely for granted - is there anything that the elders can't do?
In addition to the elders who were preparing to install the equipment, the Great Whale also brought back Wang Luobin and others who had returned to Lingao to report on their work and celebrate the New Year. The elders who had finished the New Year holiday were all glowing, and the elders who were originally stationed in Sanya bought the
The maids were also brought to Sanya. Even Zhuo Tianmin, who always had a gloomy face, also brought back a maid who looked pretty good. The son he had been worried about had a complete solution. Fangcaodi opened a class specifically for the children of elders.
The few "little elders" were taken in. The boarding system was also adopted. On the one hand, it avoids tangling parents' hands and feet. On the other hand, it also provides collectivist education to ensure that the second generation will not become a waste.
Li Haiping is also back. But he is not on the Great Whale, but on six sloop patrol boats - which were assigned to him by the Navy to strengthen the Sanya detachment. The fleet of six fishery special boats is indeed a bit confusing.
Don't worry.
"Wang Gong, I heard that this annual meeting was very successful." He Fanghui said with a smile on the dock.
"Yes, Fang Fei is very capable of doing things! Zheng Shangjie is also very good at doing things!" Wang Luobin was beaming, as if he was still recalling the grand occasion of the night, "Let's not talk about it for now. Maid, no, all the equipment is in place now, we have to work hard
Ship the first shipment of iron ore as soon as possible!"
"I saw the maid arrive." Xi Yazhou laughed, "I will try my best to fire first in the evening."
Everyone laughed, and He Fang replied: "When it comes to women, I don't know the taste of meat anymore. I have to find time to indulge in meat."
"Find some time to rectify the law on the spot tonight!" Xi Yazhou said with his expert chops.
The maids, who were wearing ordinary work uniforms, wide-brimmed straw hats, carrying rattan suitcases, and canvas bags, looked at this group of elders who spoke strange words in confusion. They had been bumpy at sea for several days.
, everyone is depressed.
Beside the maids, there are many large and small packaging boxes and bundles piled up, with the words "Sanya Special Supply? General Office" written in large black ink letters on them.
"These are daily necessities prepared by the office for everyone."
"The office is really caring to us..."
He Fanghui coughed: "There is no problem with the iron ore, it is all piled up in the material yard. Once the loading and unloading equipment is installed, it can be transported out immediately. Can it be transported by big whale?"
"The big whale will transport a ship first." Wang Luobin said, "But it will take several days to unload the cargo, and it will take at least a week to install the equipment..." He calculated that it would take early February at the earliest to fill the big whale's cargo hold.
.
There are two sets of mining equipment transported: one is a bucket elevator, and the other is mineral processing equipment - Tiandu Iron Mine is a rare rich ore in China, but it is also mixed with low-quality poor ores and symbiotic ores.
And the worthless gangue brought out during mining. Transportation after beneficiation can greatly save the tonnage occupied by sea transportation.
The group took a small boat and crossed the Dadonghai Sea to Yulinbao. Wang Luobin arranged for the maids to be temporarily placed in a labor camp outside Yulinbao, living with female health workers and clerks.
At the "Iron Ore Sinotransport Work Conference" held in Yulinbao that day, the atmosphere was very lively: everyone had an in-depth and simple discussion on the issues of ore Sinotransport, equipment installation and maid placement. At the meeting, the ideas were unified and the goals were clarified.
It was unanimously agreed to make these three tasks the top priority for the Sanya region in the first quarter of 1631.
Of course, Xiao Gui, an engineer sent by the General Machinery Factory, will be responsible for equipment installation; Ji Runzhi will be responsible for assisting in infrastructure; ore transportation will still be handled by Zhuo Tianmin, who is currently acting as the director of Tiandu Mining Bureau; as for the placement of maids,
Ji Runzhi will be fully responsible.
"The Planning Institute also has plans for immigration and industrial upgrading." Wang Luobin cleared his throat, "These two plans are long-term and not urgent, but they must be gradually put into operation from now on and make basic preparations.
Work."
The Planning Institute decided to immigrate 15,000 people from the mainland in batches in the second phase of Operation Giant, that is, starting from the third quarter of 1631. A small part of them came from other prefectures and counties in Hainan Island, and the majority came from refugees from the mainland.
To enrich the Sanya region and prepare the population base for local industrial and agricultural development.
With the influx of a large population, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of infrastructure: housing, water supply and drainage, and roads. It also involves how to provide sufficient food, fuel, and health services for the sudden increase in population.
"...Part of this depends on the supply of Lingao, and part of it depends on local production. Especially the production of building materials and the training of construction workers..." Wang Luobin said.
Zhuo Tianmin expressed concern: "Bricks and tiles are easy to talk about. As long as we can supply enough coal, even if we can't supply chains and pulleys in Lingao, we can still build a wheel kiln to make do. Cement and wood require professional equipment."
Cement supply requires cement kilns, and wood requires specialized wood processing plants and drying kilns. These basic constructions require professional equipment manufactured in Lingao and dispatch of technical personnel. Sanya's own small repair shop and a few veterans cannot build it.
of.
Wang Luobin said: "These projects have been included in the plan of the Planning Institute. They are expected to be completed within this year - in preparation for the industrial upgrading of Sanya in 2021."
He Fang replied: "What kind of industrial upgrading?"
"Chemical industry." Wang Luobin answered briefly, "To be precise, it's salt chemical industry."
Yinggehai near Sanya is the best salt drying field in Asia. In the old days, it was the largest salt field in Hainan and the largest sea salt field in southern China. The seawater concentration here reaches 3.5 degrees Baume, which is the highest in the world after the Red Sea.
One of the Aral Sea areas, the salt production conditions are very favorable. In the old days, the annual salt production of the salt farm here could reach 270,000 tons - and there is still room for expansion and production.
A large amount of sea salt is the basic raw material for the chemical industry. It is very convenient to develop and build salt chemical enterprises in Sanya, and Sanya's geographical location makes it possible to develop petrochemicals here in the future. High-quality crude oil shipped from Southeast Asia can be processed nearby.
"It's too strong!" Several people were a little stunned. Originally, everyone thought that they had developed the Tiandu Iron Mine and built it from scratch on the primitive jungle and deserted beach. The current situation was amazing, but they didn't expect what would happen later.
There are bigger things to do.
"Our career really has no end in sight!" Ji Runzhi exclaimed, his excitement palpable. He himself is a construction party member who likes "large" and "giant", and has a natural fascination with big projects.
He Fanghui was a little worried: "I don't understand chemical engineering, but there are so many pipes, valves and tanks of all sizes in the chemical plant. Can the Machinery Factory handle them?"
"It depends on how quickly your iron ore can be transported out." Xiao Gui said, "To put it bluntly, industry requires enough steel. With steel, anything can be made."
"Okay. We will do our best."
Now that the maids are in place, it is naturally inconvenient for the senators to continue sleeping on the canopy bed in the dormitory. Even if there is no luxury villa now, at least it is necessary to create a sense of "home" in the senator's single dormitory.
Ji Runzhi has long wanted to move out of the barracks-style dormitory in Yulin Fort and live in a seaside villa - not only for enjoyment, but also for practicing his construction skills. Now that he has sent a woman, it is justifiable.
Subsequently, at the working meeting of the Sanya Regional Military Commission, a motion to build a beachfront villa for the elders was proposed - unanimously approved.
Ji Runzhi's construction materials were all ready-made, so how could he respond to the advice of this Sanya native? He quickly selected a small bay near the Dadonghai Sea near Yulin Fort. The scenery here is beautiful, and the terrain is easy to guard.
, Ji Runzhi immediately decided to build a "villa" here.
He spent three or four days building seven "seaside cabins" on the shoal. The cabins were connected by wooden covered bridges. This kind of cabins were very common in seaside resorts in the old days, with elevated suspended structures.
Wooden structure, straw roof. The Lingao version of the "Seaside Cabin" does not even have wooden walls. Instead, wooden strips are nailed into the wall frame, and then sealed with reed mats, which can also provide shelter from wind and rain and block the view. It is built in a stylish way.
It has the meaning of "harmonious coexistence with the original ecology".
There is a verandah in front of the "cabin". Ji Runzhi bought a few pots of tropical plants and placed them as decorations, and put a few wicker chairs on the verandah: the sea water flowed under his feet, and he looked at the seaside scenery and hugged the maid while drinking wine...
… After visiting, all the elders were full of praises, and some of them who came on a temporary business trip couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous—you know, Lingao doesn’t have such a beautiful seaside scenery.
"I just can't withstand typhoons." Ji Runzhi said, "We have to move things away before the typhoon season comes. As for electricity..."
Wang Luobin stopped him and said: "We will stop supplying electricity, lest anyone say that we are wasting people and wasting money."
He Fanghui also nodded repeatedly: "With such a beautiful scenery, why do you need electricity? Just have a lantern for lighting. By the way, you can also fish."
That night, the elders moved into the cabin one after another. Except for Xi Yazhou and Li Haiping, the two garrison leaders had to live in the barracks according to regulations, and could only come to the cabin for recreation during holidays.
The maids had all been assigned jobs - the elders were not sure about leaving their women to guard an empty room alone - Xi Yazhou used the power of the garrison commander to apply for military registration for himself and Li Haiping for the maids, and they were considered to be enlisted as orderlies, which was justifiable.
He arranged to serve in his own barracks. Other people's maids also became leaders' secretaries and clerks. Hippo did not buy maids from the general office - he had already obtained Guo Fu.
