Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Support piles are a necessary preliminary step in the project, but Li Feng doesn't need to worry about these things.

After all, Li Feng has more important things to do right now.

By the time the meeting ended, it was almost seven o'clock.

Because of a meeting today, the cafeteria closed later than usual, so after eating dinner there, Li Feng walked home.

On his way home, Li Feng thought about it and realized that he should go to school to ride his bicycle back when he had time, otherwise it would definitely take him a long time to walk on foot.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

At that moment, he couldn't help but think that if he had a car, he wouldn't have to walk such a long distance.

Although I initially relied on my own two feet to get on the bus, I am now considered a person of some success and have some money.

I also bought a bicycle.

He's still a little annoyed that he has to walk home because he doesn't have a bicycle.

If there were a bus that could take him to the factory, he wouldn't be so bothered, but the reality is that there isn't a direct bus from the courtyard house to the factory.

Even if I were to take the bus, I would still have to walk a long way, so it would be better to walk.

Because the bus route that's currently in operation has to take a long, winding route.

Li Feng's current mindset may be due to the difficulty of transitioning from extravagance to frugality.

By the time Li Feng got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

By this time, most of the people in the courtyard were almost ready to wash up and go to bed.

Li Feng then went straight home.

When Li Feng opened the door, he felt a wave of heat hit him.

At this moment, he felt himself sweating even more.

Feeling the heat wave hitting him, he couldn't help but wonder if he should buy an electric fan.

Although it gets a little cooler in the latter half of the night, it's still very hot.

Moreover, my back is often soaked with sweat.

So, while I can't get an air conditioner, I can still afford to buy an electric fan.

I still have some money, more than enough to buy an electric fan.

After taking a shower, Li Feng went to sleep quickly.

For the rest of the time, Li Feng simply went to get off work, came home, and rested.

When the people in the courtyard asked Li Feng why he wasn't going to school, Li Feng simply brushed it off by saying he was too busy with work.

After all, that's the truth.

In the time that followed, Li Feng took a trip to the school and found that as time went on, the number of training subjects was also increasing.

These training subjects made them complain endlessly.

After all, military training in this era was quite rigorous.

Moreover, they might even end up on the battlefield, so no matter what, they definitely have to get through this month.

Li Feng didn't feel anything about military training, but he thought it was good to toughen himself up.

After saying hello to Liu Xiwa, Li Feng rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house overnight.

After all, he hadn't finished his work while he was at the factory.

Otherwise, if I go back to university, I'll definitely get scolded.

Besides, Li Feng wasn't that bored.

Half of the month passed quickly.

The initial support pile construction is almost complete.

of course!

However, this is only the completion of the grouting of the support piles so far.

The next step is to wait for the concrete of the support piles to solidify.

It will take about 28 days, and it will also require maintenance, but none of that matters to Li Feng.

After all, Li Feng's main task at present is to draw blueprints.

Li Feng could only return to school to study after the blueprints were completed. However, the initial construction work at the factory was progressing very quickly, which Li Feng suspected might be related to some behind-the-scenes connections.

The reason this project is progressing so quickly is entirely thanks to Director Zheng asking the ministry for funding.

Although the preliminary budget and audit work have been completed, the project funds are being received in installments.

Sometimes, delays in payments are quite normal.

Especially during this special period.

Everything costs money. Although there is a budget, sometimes money is only money when you have it in your hands, and if you don't have it, it's nothing.

Although Director Zheng has Minister Jiang's support, his subordinates will still follow the normal procedures.

If we want to speed things up, then we can only rely on Director Zheng to use his connections.

After all, Minister Jiang wouldn't keep an eye on this matter for so long.

the other side

The construction site next to the ceramics factory was bustling with activity.

The engineering construction team is working with great enthusiasm.

Originally, the support piles were supposed to be precast piles, but the geological survey unit found that longer precast piles were needed to reach the bearing layer.

That's why we switched to using cast-in-place piles for the support piles.

As for the old ceramics factory, since it mainly uses traditional techniques and does not require large equipment, the old factory area of ​​Wuxing Ceramics Factory was basically just a foundation.

Nothing else was done.

The new factory was initially planned to be a steel structure, but considering the current steel production, it was changed to a brick-concrete structure.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how things are in our country.

Steel, for example, must be supplied to military or military industrial units.

After the support piles were completed, the foundation excavation began.

The foundation was relatively easy to dig; it took about five days to complete.

of course!

These five days were basically completed under tight deadlines.

It's like they've hauled out countless truckloads of construction waste.

These matters were basically discussed by Deputy Factory Director Zhu, Director Wu, and the leaders of the engineering construction team.

The commander of this engineering construction unit is Liu Xinjian.

His rank is squad leader.

According to Li Feng's understanding, the position of a detachment commander is roughly equivalent to that of a full regimental commander.

If a regimental commander were to transfer back to civilian life, he would likely become a division-level officer.

of course!

In the later stages, if too many are installed, they will basically be downgraded for use.

However, this is roughly equivalent to the level of Deputy Factory Director Zhu.

Li Feng had met this detachment leader a few times, and they mostly discussed blueprints.

After all, Li Feng was also a member of the engineering department and was considered a talent in this field within the ceramics factory. Whenever there were technical problems, the factory would usually send Li Feng to handle them.

After all, there aren't many people in the factory who understand engineering.

Through the exchange, Li Feng also learned that this unit was to complete all the demarcation work around the site within a month.

Li Feng was somewhat surprised by this.

That speed is incredible.

Moreover, this was mostly accomplished manually.

After they completed the preliminary work, they still had other tasks to complete. Li Feng spent twenty-five days getting the blueprints for the other two production lines done.

He then handed the blueprints to Factory Director Zheng.

At that moment, he felt that he couldn't hold anyone back.

After all, everyone else has worked so hard. (End of Chapter)
