Chapter 224
The so-called "sole tree" is naturally a rubber tree. The natives in the southern region use the raw rubber produced by the rubber tree to make the soles of shoes. This new and useful material has attracted the attention of many discerning businessmen. Xia Lin During this period of time, through the channel of the business alliance, they successfully purchased several large packages of natural raw rubber from a company called the Hogg Chamber of Commerce, which was enough to make Hurley's birthday present.

However, this amount of raw rubber is not enough to support the production of the factory that he wants to build next, so Xia Lin wants to let Her Majesty the Queen communicate with the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, and let the official force take the lead in establishing a rubber tree plantation in the Southern Territory to expand the production of rubber. The scale of production, in this way, can also strengthen the economic ties between the central and southern borders, and try to win the support of the Grand Duke of the southern border.

After briefly explaining the importance of rubber to them with Queen Dorothea, Dorothea quickly agreed to Xia Lin's request and settled the matters related to the layout of the upper-level industries. When I arrived at the industrial park, I started to deal with the various affairs I had accumulated during this period of time.

The first thing is the expansion of the new army. With sufficient funds, the recruitment of soldiers for the expansion is naturally not a problem. The problem is that the dormitories and playgrounds in the new army barracks cannot accommodate the extra [-] new army soldiers for living and training.

Fortunately, there are not many things in the new district now, except that there are many people and land. With the assistance of [-] reform-through-labour prisoners, the First Construction Company has cleared out the twelve disaster-stricken blocks.

Xia Lin decided to let the machining factory temporarily produce a batch of wooden barracks components, and then let the textile factory produce a batch of tents. It took about three days to complete the construction of these new soldier barracks simply and quickly. As for the playground, it only needs people Spread fine sand on the flat ground for a little smoothing, and draw lines with lime.

As for the problem of instructors, which was a headache before, it is now the best solution. With the seven or eight hundred backbone soldiers of the new army who have experienced a fierce battle, Xia Lin can pick some top ones from there to complete these tasks. This is not planned. soldiers' training.

A few people from Ley and the soldiers committees and company committees were called to hold a small meeting, and soon the related matters of the new army were arranged, and at the same time, the expansion of production of the gun factory and the supporting gunpowder workshop was also arranged.

In order to produce the weapons and equipment needed by the soldiers of the new army in time, Xia Lin decided to transfer more than 60 regular employees with relatively clean files from the machine processing plant, steel processing plant, and paper mill to fill the expanded gun factory and In the gunpowder workshop, the gun factory and the gunpowder workshop were arranged to carry out three shifts of production day and night to ensure the supply of guns, cannons and ammunition for the 6000-strong new army.

In return for working in a confidential unit and overtime production, Xia Lin raised the average salary of these employees by 60% on top of the 40% higher average salary of the gun factory than other factories, reaching a rare double salary in the industrial park. Employees working in the Gunpowder Workshop also receive an additional 50% hazard pay.

After dealing with the matter of the new army, Xia Lin called Wyatt and asked him to arrange for his confidants to cooperate with the security team to investigate the recent chaos in the industrial park. First of all, the recruitment of regular employees, Xia Lin asked them to branch out Review the files of regular employees and organize employees to take cultural level examinations to ensure that there are no so-called relationship households among regular employees.

Then there is the problem of hiring workers. Although the salary in the industrial park is high, it is still the average level of ordinary people in the imperial capital. Only a few dirty and tiring jobs have a relatively high salary of more than fifty copper bis a day. In this case It is really unexpected for Xia Lin that there can also be a situation of buying and selling jobs.

Hearing what Xia Lin explained and arranged, Wyatt was filled with shock and guilt. He deeply felt that he had failed Xia Lin's expectations. After repeatedly assuring Xia Lin that the same situation would never happen in the industrial park again, Immediately began to arrange the manpower and security team directly under the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce to start an investigation.

After dealing with the two most critical matters, Xia Lin called Master Holkin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked him to take the second batch of ten dwarf masters and twenty industrial parks dispatched by Furnace Valley to the industrial park recently. employees try to build an entry-level industrial product by hand—a bicycle.

Although industrial products such as bicycles are entry-level, they are not so easy to manufacture. Chains, spokes, and tires all require a considerable industrial level.

Naturally, Xia Lin did not intend to establish a bicycle factory immediately, but wanted Master Holguin and dwarf masters to try to manufacture a bicycle by hand, clarify the technical difficulties, and leave them to be solved one by one in the future. At the same time, this bicycle is also a Xia Lin is going to give Hurley a birthday present.

Chains, spokes, car bodies and other things can be made with the skill level of the dwarf masters, even with a hammer and a hammer. The most important thing is the problem of tires. Xia Lin remembered the vulcanization process of rubber, so he let the dwarf masters First try to use the simplest reinforcing agent, the few large packets of raw rubber and carbon black, to manufacture a suitable solid tire.

After solving these trivial matters, Xia Lin began to prepare for the coal and iron complex.

Heavy industry is the real lifeblood of any country. With the steel produced by the coal and iron complex and the steel factory, the strength of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce and their Queen's faction will be further enhanced. This is very important for Xia Lin .

In the office, Xia Lin sat at the desk and carefully worked on his plan for the steel industry, and at the same time drew many drawings of related equipment, buildings, and workshops.

In order to establish a formal steelmaking plant, a coking plant must be established first. Therefore, in this steel industry plan, there is also the existence of a coking plant, which is where Xia Lin struggles.

Although I have visited the coking plant of my brother unit several times as a trainee, there are already many links in it that Xia Lin doesn't understand.

He must go through repeated recall and reasoning to get the physical and chemical principles involved, and then carry out the design of these links through a large number of data calculations.

Fortunately, the sorcerer's intellect doesn't have to worry about memory problems at all. After some memory and deduction, Xia Lin sorted out the general process of coking.

In his impression, the production process of the coking plant is mainly divided into three parts, namely coal preparation, coking and subsequent processing.

Among them, coal preparation is mainly coal washing and coal blending. The former link washes away the ash and impurities in the coal and turns it into clean coal, thereby reducing coking pollution, improving the quality of coke, and then crushing.

The latter is more professional, and needs to configure coking raw materials for different components of the crushed coal, so as to obtain better quality and more diversified products.

For this reason, Xia Lin plans to build a washing and washing plant for coal mines and iron ore in the expected Blue Lake Mountain Industrial Park to pre-process the minerals excavated from the mines in the Blue Lake Mountains.

The next step is the coking process. The crushed and cleaned coal particles are pounded into coal cakes through the tamping equipment in the coal tower, and then sent to the coking chamber of the coke oven.

After about one day of heating the combustion chambers on both sides of the carbonization chamber, the finished coke and gas are obtained, and then the coke can be obtained after subsequent processing.

Throughout the process, Xia Lin needs to design the conveyor belt powered by waterwheels, the spray equipment and crushing equipment in the coal washing workshop, the coal tower and internal coal pounding equipment in the coking workshop, as well as small regenerative coke ovens and coal loading vehicles. , coke pushing car, coke quenching car and other equipment.

Due to limited conditions, Xia Lin is not going to build a coke-stopping car. A set of simple equipment is used to let people be responsible for opening and closing the furnace door, and setting up coke guide grids to guide coke into the coke-quenching car.

This is dozens of times more technically difficult than the previous indigenous sugar factory, and like all heavy industries, coking is an extremely dangerous thing. If these equipment are not designed and manufactured properly, safety accidents will easily occur.

For example, if the coal loading truck, the coke pushing truck, and the coke quenching truck are moving forward, if they collide and generate sparks, the gas produced by coking will be ignited, leading to an explosion with heavy losses.
