1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 189 The Good News of Black Earth Port

The two teenagers looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a while.It took a long time for Fu Li to speak: "Did we do something wrong? This Juren seems to be a distinguished guest of the chiefs..."

Yu Xiaobao was also a little uncertain, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's better to go and tell the chiefs, we can't let this old man come to complain first."

So the two teenagers threw their fishing rods on the boat, went down to the shore, rolled out their bicycles, and rode straight to the No. [-] base.These two bikes have been specially approved by the executive committee. They are the only two mountain bikes for local people. They are said to be local people, but in fact, only the two of them can ride them. This also shows that the two teenagers Now it is deeply loved by the executive committee.

When the two returned to the base, they found Ning Qi first, and explained the whole story of what happened just now.After hearing this, Ning Qi naturally didn't feel nervous. On the contrary, he felt dumbfounded. The majestic Daming Juren was ridiculed by two children who had just started school because of Yan Chujie's jingle. The example of a master.

Although the two ethnic groups separated by 400 years are in the same line of culture and blood, the values ​​​​of later generations are indeed very different from those of Ming Dynasty in this era. There will definitely be many contradictions and conflicts in the contact between the two parties.Especially in terms of culture, the time-traveling group's various practices with the pragmatism of later generations will definitely not be fully recognized by orthodox literati like Li Nai. Even if he admits that there is an obvious gap in productivity between Da Ming and Hai Han, he will never It is possible to accept the statement that "poems and songs are useless" that is contrary to the concept of Ming literati.

As a literati, Ning Qi can fully imagine Li Nai's feelings, just like if someone preaches the uselessness of mathematics, physics and chemistry to him, he will definitely have the idea of ​​pulling others.However, Ning Qi felt that this was no big deal, and Li Nai was angry, but it certainly would not affect the cooperation between the two parties.After all, in addition to his fame as a person, he also has the identity of a businessman. For a professional businessman, whether he can maintain the same values ​​as his partner is not important. The key is whether the business he cooperates with can make money.For "Furuifeng", the transactions with Haihan people are all lucrative projects with a huge market. How could such a trivial matter affect the future big transactions with a monthly transaction volume of tens of thousands of taels.

Of course, Fu Li and Yu Xiaobao defended Haihan's values ​​in such a way that Ning Qi, who is an educator, should be proud. It is not difficult to imagine that after a few years, these teenagers will definitely regard themselves as Haihan people A part of the society, so as to safeguard the interests of this group from the heart.Ning Qi comforted the two teenagers and let them go back first.He still has to rush to attend the temporary meeting of the executive committee—the black earth port sent a message that the transportation channel over there has finally been completed recently after a whole month of construction, and it is estimated that it will soon be able to start transporting to the base camp. coal for a long time.

After receiving the notice, the executive committee members arrived one after another, and even Mr. Yuan, who has been in poor health since time travel, cheered up and attended the meeting today.Tao Donglai relayed the telegram sent by Heitu Port this morning to all executive committee members, and explained in detail the current situation of Heitu Port.

Although the colonization team encountered heavy rain and flash floods shortly after they landed in Heitu Port, the Management Committee of Heitu Port quickly organized production to save itself, restored the local normal order in a short period of time, and started production step by step. and construction plans.As the most important pillar industry in the local area in the next few years, the first project to be put into production is a coal mine whose mining location has already been surveyed.

At present, the coal mine in Heitu Port has two mining sites that are in operation, and one of the mining sites produces coking coal that is very important to the Crossing Group.Relevant supporting production facilities were also successfully completed with the assistance of the Ministry of Construction, which are divided into coal receiving, screening, crushing, coal preparation, storage, loading and other links, which are completely arranged according to the standard coal mine production links of later generations.Although due to limited conditions, it is temporarily impossible to use a large number of steam-powered machinery to assist production, but fortunately, Heitu Port lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of labor, and sufficient labor is enough to ensure the smooth production of the coal mine.

The coal mine has also built two nearby coke ovens outside the mining area, which will complete part of the coke production locally, and a considerable amount of coke will be directly transported back to the base camp for processing.The reason for maintaining such a production ratio is not that Heitu Port has no ability to build more coke ovens, but because of the arrangement of the executive committee.

Ammonia is a must for the chemical sector to engage in combined soda production in the future, and there are only three main methods for ammonia production: natural gas, heavy oil and coal coke.The Crossing Group is still far away from the establishment of the oil industry and natural gas industry. The only way to use it is to produce ammonia from coal coke.It is obvious that there is currently no possibility of large-scale chemical industry in Heitu Port, so this part of the production process can only be carried out locally.Even if Heitugang objected to such an arrangement, it would be useless. The Ministry of Agriculture had been waiting helplessly for the production of fertilizers after the synthetic ammonia was put into production.

Of course, the Executive Committee does not object to Heitu Port increasing the local production capacity of coke and coking by-products if it has spare capacity, especially asphalt, which is in huge demand in local infrastructure projects. How many.

In terms of civil affairs, Heitu Port has never stopped bringing in immigrants from the coast of Vietnam.After nearly a month of population rush by the colonization fleet, the number of immigrants resettled in Heitu Port has reached more than [-], which is basically at the same level as the population under the jurisdiction of the base camp.It is worth mentioning that with the return of the first batch of coal ships, hundreds of women and children will be transported from Heitu Port to the base camp for resettlement. This is good news for the executive committee eager to enrich the local population.

Due to the wide range of immigration sources in Heitu Port, Heitu Port even built a small shipyard in the port area.Of course, in terms of scale and shipbuilding capacity, it cannot be compared with local shipyards. Let alone sea-going ships with more than [-] materials, even ships with [-] materials cannot be built now. Shipwrights and carpenters are the main ones, and the technical guide is Xie Chun, a know-it-all from the Ministry of Shipping.Although Xie Chun does not have a professional background like Yue Zhiyun and Sun Changmi, he has been in the Ministry of Shipping for so long, and he is also a ship enthusiast. A few small fishing boats are still fine.Compared with the small wooden boats brought by the first batch of fishermen who moved to Heitu Port, the fishing boats built under his guidance are much better than the latter in terms of seaworthiness and stability.

However, because there was no plan to set up a shipyard in Heitu Port before, there was no large amount of marine timber stored. Up to now, only two small fishing boats have been built as test products. The timber drying room is currently being built. The next step is to use the shipyard’s The scale will be further expanded, and strive to achieve the ability to manufacture some offshore transport ships-so that in the future, there will be no need to occupy limited cargo ships to transport immigrants to the coast of Vietnam.

As for the transportation channel that everyone is most concerned about, after 27 days of intensive work, the planned rail freight line has finally been built-of course, it is only a single track at present, and there is really no possibility of completing the construction of double tracks in such a short period of time.After the completion of the project, the coal at the inland mining point can be directly transported to the freight yard in the port area by the animal-drawn mine car passing on the track. The entire track is 1450 meters long, and a round-trip loading task can be completed every two hours. The volume reached ten tons.In the future, when the track double track is built and steam power is used, the transportation capacity will increase exponentially.

But at the same time, there was also a bad news. Liu Shanxia, ​​who was in charge of the project, fell ill three days before the completion of the project due to overwork.If his condition does not improve significantly in a short period of time, then Liu Shanxia may not be able to return to Shengli Port with the first batch of coal cargo ships.As a result, some infrastructure projects in Tiandu Industrial Zone may also be affected by it, resulting in delays in the construction period.

For such emergencies, what the executive committee can do is to let local medical experts remotely command the local medical staff to see if there is any possibility of cure, and put the fast sailing boat and medical staff on standby. If the disease cannot be controlled in the local area, then the local area will send a team of experts to take a look, and if it is not possible, they will be brought back to the base camp first.The fast sailing boat only needs two days of voyage, which is at least twice as fast as Fuchuan, and the bumps on the road will be less.

At present, [-] tons of coal have been stored in the coal yard in the Heitu Port area, and they are waiting for the return of the fleet sent to collect immigrants from the coast of Vietnam.When the fleet returns to Shengli Port to drop off the immigrants, it will start loading cargo and supplies. After the crew and sailors rest for a day or two, they will set off from Heitu Port, along the route of Heitu Port-Fushuizhou Island-Changhua Port-Ying Gezui - Yazhou This route returns to Shengli Port all the way.

The reason why the base camp had to be notified so many days in advance was not only to announce the good news, but also to allow the base camp to have a period of preparation.This kind of preparation is not only a local repair of the port cargo terminal and coal storage site, but also some materials that need to be transported to the black earth port, such as agricultural tools, medicines, building materials, grain, etc., and relevant departments must also prepare in advance to prevent the fleet from The delay in Victory Port was too long—there were three ships in the fleet that were rented, and if the limited time was not fully utilized, it would be a waste of high rent.
