1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 146 Investigating the Road
From the moment Qian Tiandun announced the execution, there was no sound in the crowd.At the moment when the boards under the prisoners' feet collapsed, many people even stopped breathing.All the immigrants witnessed the entire process of the hanging with trepidation, watching several prisoners die quickly on the gallows, even those who had shouted "hang them" before He was so shocked by the sight in front of him that he couldn't make a sound.Judging from the reactions at the scene, this public execution undoubtedly achieved very good results.

After the last prisoner hung his head feebly, Qian Tiandun waited with his watch for another full minute before signaling the two doctors, Johnson and Morgan, to come forward to check the prisoner's condition.

Two doctors carefully checked the condition of the four prisoners, and took off the sacks on their heads to check the pupils, and finally confirmed that all four prisoners had died.After getting the conclusion of the doctor's examination, Qian Tiandun picked up the microphone again, looked at the immigrants in the audience and said: "In the future, any behavior that hurts human life in Heitu Port will be punished by hanging in the same way as these people. Everyone must be warned! In addition, I also ask everyone to rest assured that our Haihan Executive Committee has the determination and ability to protect everyone's safety!"

Many immigrants do not know what kind of existence the "Haihan Executive Committee" mentioned by Qian Tiandun is, but from the repeated policy announcements of the Haihan people, they can vaguely feel the power of the "Executive Committee" Powerful, all those under the management of the "Executive Committee" must have enough respect for the "Executive Committee".And the purpose that the Executive Committee hopes to achieve through policy presentations is exactly the same. People in this era have very limited knowledge, vision, and ideological level. The Executive Committee intends to use the simplest and most effective way of brainwashing to brainwash their own Authority was established among the naturalized people as quickly as possible.

This method has achieved good results in the base area of ​​Hainan Island, and the colonization team will naturally transplant this simple and effective method to Heitu Port and continue to use it.At present, it seems that in addition to the usual policy preaching, it seems to be more effective to combine appropriate means of violent punishment.After all, these new immigrants spent too little time with the colonization team, and lip service alone may not be able to make these people change their original ideology and living habits.

The victim's younger brother suddenly ran to the stage, knelt down straight to Qian Tiandun, and then began to kowtow with a bang.Seeing this, Qian Tiandun quickly pulled him up, but just as he pulled his knees off the ground, he knelt down towards Zhou Hengxing and continued to kowtow.

Zhou Hengxing stepped forward to support the young man, sighed and said to Qian Tiandun: "This child is also pitiful. I asked him about the situation at home last night. All the family members died in the war. I finally escaped here with my sister. Come on, I didn't expect my sister to encounter this kind of thing again...war orphans!"

Qian Tiandun comforted the boy with kind words: "Live well, so that your family members who died will feel at ease. After a while, we will send you to a place with better conditions than here, where you can learn to read and learn. Knowledge."

The boy looked up at the two of them and said: "The villain will not go anywhere, but the villain is willing to be a servant for the adults, please take him in!"

Qian Tiandun and Zhou Hengxing looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.Of course they could understand the kid's thoughts. He probably thought that he was too young to do any heavy physical work, and he was afraid that he would be sold to other places by them.Rather than being a servant in another place, it would be better to just worship under the big men who avenged their own families. Even if you are a servant at the bottom, at least you won't be too conflicted psychologically.

At this time, Gao Qiaonan had brought the militiamen to the stage to collect the corpse, Qian Tiandun and Zhou Hengxing took the boy to the tent of the headquarters, intending to deal with the matter properly.After all, this is the first homicide case handled by the colonization team in Heitu Port. The execution of prisoners is naturally an aspect that has received the most attention, but the treatment of the families of the victims cannot be ignored. public attitude.

The immigrants gathered in the audience gradually dispersed under the command of the militiamen. The excitement was over, and what awaited them was a full day of labor tasks.They have just seen what will happen to those who are unwilling to work and want to steal and play tricks. If you don’t want to be a corpse floating in the wind on the gallows, it is better to work hard according to the arrangements of the foremen.

After increasing the investment in logging personnel, the construction speed of the entire camp has also accelerated a lot.The forest density here is even higher than that of Tian Duyi, and a large number of round logs are directly used to build wooden houses after simple processing.The headquarters has issued a death order to the engineering team. At least one log cabin warehouse must be completed within today, so that the grain, gunpowder, cement and other materials on board can be unloaded to the shore for storage as soon as possible.

In addition, the engineering team has to complete the foundation treatment for more than a dozen prefabricated houses where the people live. This time, the executive committee allocated all the quick-drying cement to the colonization team. This kindness should not be wasted. Taking advantage of the fine weather these two days, the engineering team had to quickly build the prefabricated house.Now it's the rainy season, and the weather will change as soon as it is said. Maybe it's hard to say that it will rain for the next half month in Heitu Port.

The Ministry of Shipping also hopes to unload the cargo on the ship as soon as possible, and then seize the time to go to the east coast of Vietnam to rush to transport refugees.If they act fast enough, at least 2000 to [-] people can be brought in from the east bank during the construction period of the Black Earth Port area.This immigration speed has greatly exceeded the Sanya base camp. You must know that it took a full three months there, and the population under the rule was only [-].

The person in charge of coal mining in the colonization team is Tian Yeyou who applied to be stationed at Heitu Port. Today, the four departments of mining, military police, engineering, and civil affairs formed a joint team to investigate the route from the port area to the mining area. According to the survey data and the transportation requirements put forward by the mining group, the road construction plan here is formulated, and then the civil affairs department deploys and arranges the labor force, and the military and police department is responsible for order maintenance and safety alert tasks during the construction process.

Both Liu Shanxia and Gu Kai came to this place for the first time. Fortunately, Arita Yeyou and a few people from the North American Gang led the way, which saved a lot of time on the way.The last time the expedition team came here, they had already done a preliminary topographic survey, but this time the engineering team brought more professional tools and equipment to conduct more detailed calculations on the planned route.

"This valley is only about 400 meters long. The more troublesome thing is that there is a small river at the bottom of the valley. We are worried that the river may surge and wash away the road during the rainy season, so your engineering team should think carefully about the construction plan here." Tian Yeyou walked forward , while introducing the situation to Liu Shanxia and others.

"If it is in Sanya, this matter will be more troublesome, but it is not difficult to solve this place, it just needs to spend more manpower." Liu Shanxia pointed to the front and said: "Last time Qiao Zhiya also said that the road construction in this place needs to be built higher. , relatively speaking, the amount of work will be relatively large. But fortunately, our current manpower is sufficient. If [-] is not enough, we will come to [-], and if [-] is not enough, we will come to [-]. It is not difficult to dig through these hundreds of meters of roads. "

"Can the soil quality here be used to lay tracks?" Compared to whether the road can be opened in the shortest time, Gu Kai is more concerned about the transportation problem after the coal mine is put into operation.

"The vegetation here is in good condition. We basically don't have to worry about landslides or mudslides. It is enough to build stone retaining walls on both sides of the road for some critical road sections. Open the road in front and lay sleepers along the way behind." and the track." Liu Shanxia pointed to the other side of the valley and said: "If it goes well, we can advance more than 50 meters a day, and the laying of the track may be slower, but it will definitely be completed before next month. Unfortunately, the conditions here are not ideal. If both ends can be constructed together, the construction period can be shortened by half.”

While talking, everyone had already walked out of the valley, and Tian Yeyou began to introduce to everyone the several mining points identified by the expedition team last time: "If our manpower is sufficient, I suggest that five mining points be excavated here at once, and one of them is The point is very good quality coking coal, which is very useful for steelmaking and ironmaking in the base camp.”

Gu Kai asked: "Five mining sites? How many miners are needed?"

"The coal mines here are buried very shallow, and open-pit mining can be used directly, so manpower is not as restrictive as tunnel-type operations. The more manpower invested, the faster the mining speed. If a thousand miners can be invested, I think The monthly mining volume can reach at least [-] tons, which is enough for the base camp to use for several months." Tian Yeyou is very confident in the production capacity of the coal mine, and continued to wave his arms and said excitedly: "This is only the condition of manual mining. If we invest more mining machinery here in the future, then this output can easily be increased by a large amount.”

"It would be great if we could ship them all back. In the final analysis, our sea transportation capacity is not enough!" Gu Kai didn't show the same excitement when he heard the prospect Tian Yeyou described, because he knew the current situation of the time travel group better: " Now these few boats are trying their best to pull back, and if they can pull back a thousand tons in a month, it will be considered pretty good."

"Take your time. With coal in the future, our product line will be enriched, and we will be able to sell more and more things. I'm afraid we won't be able to find a shipyard to build a big ship for us?" Tian Yeyou's vision for the future is Much more optimistic.In the view of a geologist like him, having energy is undoubtedly equivalent to having everything.
