Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 70 Shipping Starts
After seeing off seven classmates from the study society, Wang Jiankun returned to the underground base and expanded the second-level space a little more. Currently, one-fifth of the planned amount has been dug out.

After the excavation, Wang Jiankun went to the fourth floor of the base to check the operation of the experimental reactor. The reactor was still operating normally and the generated electricity was charged into the energy storage system.

The current energy storage system has been expanded five times by Wang Jiankun and can store 5 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The power supply within the base has also been modified and all are connected to the energy storage system. After each group of batteries that can hold 200 kWh of electricity is fully charged, they are switched to another group for charging. They are not charged again until 1% of the electricity is discharged. This increases the life of the energy storage system.

There is currently sufficient electricity in the base, so the ventilation and lighting systems have been strengthened, and a ventilation system has been added to each floor.

Wang Jiankun dug ventilation holes on two nearby mountains to disperse some of the heat and prevent concentrated heat dissipation from causing abnormal vegetation nearby to be discovered.

On the third floor, Wang Jiankun has already made several cloud chambers, using uranium 235 as the particle source.

He was already able to observe the movement of microscopic particles in a macroscopic state and gained a deeper understanding of some of the physical properties of alpha and beta particles.

As his understanding of microscopic particles deepened, he could already enlarge and reduce atoms with ease, and the magnification factor also increased. He could magnify atoms in his mind to a radius of about 50 centimeters, and he could also distinguish the neutrons and protons that make up the nucleus and see the boundaries of their combination.

However, it is currently not possible to separate protons and neutrons that are gathered together. After all, the strong interaction force that binds them is much stronger than the force that binds atomic bonds.

According to Zhizi's analysis, Wang Jiankun may need to conduct more in-depth research on both strong and weak interactions to achieve this. At present, he only has a preliminary understanding of these two forces.

The process of alpha particles ionizing molecules in the air was observed using a cloud chamber.

Alpha particles separated from the uranium nucleus were seen traveling at high speed through the air filled with saturated steam, ionizing the oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules in their path.

The surrounding water molecules themselves are not regular electrically neutral bodies. One end is positively charged and the other end is negatively charged, and the ionized oxygen molecules and carbon dioxide molecules are attracted together.

The originally invisible water vapor forms small water droplets with ionized oxygen molecules or carbon dioxide molecules as condensation nuclei. In this way, a series of small water droplets are formed on the movement trajectory of the alpha particle. Its movement trajectory can be seen with the naked eye without super powers.

From this point on, Wang Jiankun thought that the study of high-dimensional matter and space might be able to draw on this method.

Current instruments and equipment cannot observe higher-dimensional matter, but we can find some phenomena where high-dimensional matter interacts with three-dimensional matter. By repeating this phenomenon, we may be able to indirectly study some properties of high-dimensional matter and open the door to progress in high-dimensional matter research.

After studying high-energy particles, Wang Jiankun took the elevator to the third floor.

He wants to build a 1-micron precision lithography machine and a 10-micron precision etching machine.

Currently, this accuracy is the accuracy of mass-produced chips abroad. After manufacturing, Wang Jiankun plans to send it to the joint venture factory in Guangzhou for use in manufacturing chips and LCD screens for electronic watches.

The design drawings had actually been made long ago, so it only took Wang Jiankun more than 20 minutes to make the two machines.

Wang Jiankun did not plan to conduct the test now. He manufactured one photolithography machine and one etching machine with a precision of 20 microns.

The operation of these two machines is the same as the 10-micron one. He will transport them to the scrap recycling station tomorrow, where he will let Fang Guihua, Hu Chunming and Cheng Ming test the production of cow dung chips.

Wang Jiankun would write out detailed operating steps and schematic diagrams, and ask them to explore production according to the operating manual. Any problems found during the process should be promptly reported to Wang Jiankun, who would then provide remote guidance via a text machine.

Through their exploration of the production process, Wang Jiankun will modify the equipment to make it easier for people to use. When it is shipped to Guangzhou, Wang Jiankun will only need to provide simple guidance without spending a lot of time on basic training on the use of tools.

In addition, a set of 20-micron lithography machines and etching machines will be sent to Guangzhou first, so that the workers there can be trained with low-precision machines first, and then transferred to high-precision workshops when their proficiency and yield rate are improved. In this way, high and low combinations can be used for training and production at the same time to solve the problem of lack of skilled workers.

After the manufacturing was completed, Wang Jiankun also made some reagents and materials for testing, such as photoresist, cleaning agent, pure water, acid and alkali, liquid crystal, conductive backplane, polarizer and wafer, etc.

After the manufacturing is completed, Wang Jiankun packed the reagents and materials into different boxes and transported them to the waste recycling station after class tomorrow.

Several aluminum plates were also manufactured and will be sent over tomorrow so that Ye Wei can assemble a small production workshop according to the drawings.

On Monday morning, after teaching two classes, Wang Jiankun went to ask for leave from his class teacher, Mr. He.

Teacher He was speechless about him. This student asked for leave every week, but considering his potential as the top student, he was told not to forget to take the exam the day after tomorrow. If he missed the exam, he would not be allowed leave in the future.

Of course Wang Jiankun would not miss the exam. Only by taking the first place with absolute advantage time and time again to confirm his status as the top scorer would the teacher be so tolerant as to allow him to take so many leaves.

After lunch, Wang Jiankun called Fang Guihua and gave him the operating instructions of the photolithography machine and etching machine, asking him to take some time to read them. He hoped that he could stay in the county and go to the waste recycling station to test the use of the products during the two-day holiday after the exam, and try to make the product described at the end of the instructions.

They were very happy to see that Wang Jiankun had assigned the task to him. Yesterday, they saw that they all had clear arrangements, but the three of them did not. They were a little anxious, afraid that they would fall behind due to lack of ability. Now that the task has come, they hurriedly agreed.

It didn't matter if he went home less often, as he would only stay for one night. Everyone at home was busy making cotton cores, and he couldn't help much because of his clumsy hands. It would be great if he could stay in the county and learn more skills.

He told Wang Jiankun not to worry and that he would go find Hu Chunming, Cheng Ming and others during the afternoon break and convince them to stay.

After arranging the next advancement tasks for Fang Guihua and the other three, Wang Jiankun turned his attention back to the shipping business.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Wang Jiankun went to the base and transported the 20-micron precision lithography machine and etching machine to the scrap recycling station.

Both machines occupy an area of ​​about 1.5 square meters and are 1.8 meters high. After removing the counterweight blocks at the bottom used for stability, the weight is more than 3 kilograms. The counterweight blocks are finally pulled to the recycling station, and their weights are 350 kilograms and 300 kilograms respectively.

The other reagents and materials are packed in three large boxes. These bottles and jars are well protected and must be in a certain clean state when used.

After the transportation, he told Ye Wei what these were used for and asked him to find two stonemasons and bricklayers to build a 25-square-meter single-story bungalow. The main task was to lay the foundation and the lower installation groove. The upper part and top were assembled with the aluminum plates brought by Wang Jiankun.

Ye Wei assured him that the work would be done according to the design requirements and schedule and that there would be no delay.

After explaining these things, Wang Jiankun rode his motorcycle to the temporary dock, where he boarded a speedboat and quickly headed to Sizhou Town.

Due to the need for travel, Wang Jiankun built an identical motorcycle to the Jialing 50 in Sizhou Town.

He did not rush to the warehouse of Dexing Copper Mine that night because it was already very crowded after his father and eight other people moved in. It would be torture for him to go there again, so he sent a message to his father to wait in the warehouse. He would go to the warehouse to take them to the Sizhou Town Wharf the next day.

He had a good sleep in the captain's cabin of Experiment 2.

The next morning, he had breakfast at the dock and rushed to Dexing Copper Mine. When he arrived there, several people were having breakfast.

After asking about his father's situation, Wang Jiankun gave the administrator 25 yuan, because the rice and vegetables he brought from home were eaten a lot by his father and his nine companions, and he also temporarily brought two quilts from home, so Wang Jiankun gave him 9 yuan as compensation, which was considered to be the purchase of the quilts and food.

After my father and the eight selected first batch of employees of the shipping company finished breakfast, he let my father drive the truck and follow him to the Sizhou Town Pier.

After arriving at the dock, several young men in the team were stunned. They thought the boat they were driving would be at most slightly larger than a truck, but they didn't expect it to be as big as 4 or 5 trucks.

My father was also a little shocked and asked, "Jiankun, can these guys drive such a big boat? You said in the letter that you can drive a 25-meter boat. I thought it was not big, but it is so big now!" "Dad, this is Experimental No. 2, which is only 20 meters long and mainly used for the waterway from Sizhou Town to Hukou Town. The bigger one is the C25, which is 6.8 meters long and 200 meters wide, with a draft of 3 meters. It can't drive here and is parked in Hukou Town. I will take you to see it later."

"There are bigger ones, how big are they?"

"Yeah, it's hard for me to stand when I have to drive such a big boat."

"It's hard to move such a big ship, right? How will we compensate if it crashes?"

"Yeah, I don't dare to drive such a big ship. Maybe I'd better be a waiter or a first mate."

Several people in the team were talking about it and were a little hesitant.

Wang Jiankun realized that this was not a solution, so he asked several people to get on the boat and asked his father to move the truck closer to the dock.

After the eight newbies in the team were on board, he asked them to go to the cockpit and watch him operate.

Wang Jiankun explained while operating, first starting the diesel engine to let the machine run at a low speed, and then starting the crane to extend the boom.

The movement of the crane's boom rising stunned the eight people who had never seen the world. Wang Jiankun scolded them and told them to pay attention to his actions, as they would have to operate it frequently in the future and should not make a fuss.

He operated the crane to lift the 1.2 lighters in the truck into the cargo hold in front one by one, and then folded the crane.

I opened the window in the cockpit and asked my father if he wanted to go with the ship to take a look. My father thought about it and decided not to get on board. He said that the team was very busy recently and he had to go back to help look after things. The house at home was also in the final stage and could not be left without someone. He would go on board to take a look when he had time in the future.

Seeing that his father was not going, he asked him to go home early and remember to pick up the specialties he brought from Yangzhou in Wuyuan County, which Ye Wei was keeping.

After watching his father drive away, Wang Jiankun began to explain the equipment on Experiment No. 8 to the eight newbies.

In fact, the materials given before all have schematic diagrams, and the drawings are almost exactly the same. Now I will explain them again to help them recall.

After the explanation, Wang Jiankun asked key questions to the three captains and two first mates. Seeing that they could recite the operating methods and precautions of each equipment word for word, Wang Jiankun did not hesitate to encourage them and announced that he would reward each of the five of them with 2 yuan, which would be distributed when they arrived at Hukou Town, where they could buy some things.

Several of them were poor young people who only brought a few cents with them when they went out, so it would be great if they could get a reward of 2 yuan. Wang Jiankun said that he would ask some questions about the service to the other three people later, and there would be rewards for good answers. The other three people also became happy.

After the explanation, the diesel engine was preheated, and the people on the dock untied the ropes and drove Experiment No. 2 slowly away from the dock, while the speedboat was parked here without moving.

Along the way, Wang Jiankun drove, explained and asked them to answer questions. After arriving in Poyang County, Wang Jiankun began to let the three captains and the first mate take turns driving the boat.

The water depth here is generally more than 5 meters, and the water surface is almost 2 meters wide, so you can let them experience driving with confidence.

Moreover, the alarm system was also turned on, so Wang Jiankun could hear it in time and intervene. He then used some of his energy to inspect and guide the three standby waiters.

In fact, there are very few devices to operate on the ship. The water heater and water tank need to be checked regularly, and there is a simple broadcasting device used to broadcast notices and voyage reports. Usually, some music or news will be played for passengers.

This is a unique service on Wang Jiankun's C200 ship. Other shipping companies only have a metal horn on their ships, which is used to announce any news and notifications.

Other tasks include ticket checking, cleaning and handling emergencies.

Because Wang Jiankun's ship departs in the morning and arrives in the evening or departs in the evening and arrives in the morning, it has no kitchen and does not provide food. Passengers can bring their own dry food or buy food at the dock. Hot water is supplied in unlimited quantities.

Wang Jiankun asked three reserve waiters to operate the equipment according to the procedures. When temporary passengers made some requests, he asked them to respond. In the end, one person received a reward of 1 yuan and the other two received a reward of 2 yuan.

This is because the two were nervous when speaking on the radio, and Wang Jiankun's counseling did not help. This is caused by their growing environment, and they should be able to overcome it with more training in the future. If that doesn't work, they can ask their father to help select new people.

Except for the first few sections when the boat was shaking a bit, the five people in the cockpit drove the boat better and better afterwards.

In fact, it is much easier to steer a boat than to drive a car. The waterway is straight most of the time, and the visibility on the boat is very good. You can turn the rudder easily and you don’t have to change gears frequently.

It only took one hour longer than usual, and Experiment No. 1 arrived at Hukou Town.

When entering the berth, it was Wang Jiankun who was in charge of the operation, and he asked five people to watch carefully on the side.

After parking the boat, Wang Jiankun asked five people who were learning to drive a boat to act as passengers, while three waiters simulated ticket checking and guided passengers on and off the boat.

For fear that they would not have a deep impression, he went on and off the ship several times and asked the three waiters to practice the whole process of boarding and disembarking passengers several times. Wang Jiankun, one of the captains, also asked them to learn carefully, and that they would have to act as waiters if there was a shortage of manpower in the future.

Mr. Huang, who had met Wang Jiankun several times, was standing by and watching him teach a group of people how to go up and down. He only came up to talk to Wang Jiankun after he finished speaking.

"Jiankun, are you training people? Are you going to set up a shipping team?"

"Yes, Mr. Huang, you smoke. These are the first batch of selected captains and crew members on the ship. I will train them."

"That's great. When will we start sailing along the Yangtze River?"

"It may take more than 20 days. Now we have them use the smaller Experimental No. 2 to run from Poyang County to Hukou Town. When they become proficient, they can use the C200 to run 10 trips along the Yangtze River. We expect to start trial operation on New Year's Day."

"That's great. I'll reserve a seat for Nanjing on New Year's Day. Make sure you save a spot for me then!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. I will definitely keep a seat for you. I'll need your help to find someone to sell the ticket. I wonder if you're willing to do that!"

"Okay, I'll introduce you to an honest person who can help you sell tickets."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take them to dinner first. After you find someone, we can sit down and talk about selling tickets."

"Okay, I'll go find someone first and then come find you."

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Mr. Huang, Wang Jiankun took eight people to the town to buy a house.

Tell them that if they stop here in the future, they can come here to rest.

Two people share a room, and daily necessities are purchased. It is best to eat at the dock cafeteria to save time.

If you are not afraid of trouble, you can come here to cook for yourself. After the training, in addition to the internship salary, you will also receive meal allowance every month.
