Chapter 14 A Long Day (4)
Tao Donglai dared to say this because he was not blindly optimistic about the revolutionary situation. According to historical records, Yazhou Water Village only had one battalion of sailors, more than ten boats, and about 500 people. Considering that at this time, the Ming Dynasty army The widespread phenomenon of empty pay and land reclamation for military settlements is very questionable in terms of both the number of soldiers and their combat effectiveness. Although he has not seen the true face of the Ming Dynasty's army, Tao Donglai is almost certain that the four 100-ton iron-hulled fishing boats in the fleet can defeat the fleet of Yazhou Water Village. It's okay if the Yazhou garrison doesn't come. If it does come, it will be the rhythm of delivering food to your door.
Yacheng's labor force can't be counted on for a while, but it seems that the nearby fishermen can also take advantage of it. At least there are dozens of people, and mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. After the fisherman and his son finished their meal, Tao Donglai asked Zhou Hengxing to tell them that they could go back and notify the villagers to come work at the construction site here, and they could be paid in grain, salt or silver. After they were done, they were asked to pack ten kilograms of rice and a small bag of salt, and then told them they could take their things and go home. The two fishermen couldn't believe it. After hesitating for a long time, they took their things with gratitude and left.
This was just a small episode in the landing operation, and the command headquarters quickly got back into busy work. Now that the "New World" has docked at the dock, cargo has begun to be transferred continuously from the ship to the storage yard on the shore.
The power team under the Ministry of Industry is pulling transmission lines from the ship to the temporary command post on the shore through a series of pontoons to ensure that Base No. 1 can have lighting power before dark. Although the power of the generator on the "New World" is relatively limited, it is still barely enough to supply current daily electricity under unified control. When the prefabricated houses at Base No. 1 are built in a day or two, the photovoltaic power generation system can be installed on the roof. By then, there will be no need to worry about electricity consumption.
The communications team of the Ministry of Information Industry, led by Wu Zhuo, also began to debug the communications system that had just been shipped off the ship. This is a PHS system that was eliminated from the telecommunications industry two years ago. Wu Zhuo bought it from his comrades who had transferred their jobs to a local telecommunications company. During the same period, he also purchased more than 900 PHS systems that were in the telecommunications warehouse but had not been shipped. cell phone. As long as a few base station power amplifiers are installed on nearby mountains, this communication system can basically cover the narrow river valley from Shengli Port to Tiandu Coal Mine. With the help of the logging team, the communications team has erected a fifteen-meter-high tree trunk at Base No. 1 to be used as an antenna stand, and then notified the headquarters to come and accept the project quickly, because next they have to face a heavy task A semi-colon registration job. More than 400 people and so many units, large and small, all need to be assigned phone numbers, which is enough for the four or five people in the communications team to be busy for most of the day.
Acceptance of this kind of thing definitely requires the leadership to come forward, so the call between Tao Donglai and the "New World" was also labeled as "historic" by later telecommunications departments, but the strange thing is that this The content of this very symbolic call was not recorded, so it is a pity for future generations to study this period of history.
"This is the cooking class."
"Cooking class? What's the menu tonight?"
“Grilled beef with potatoes!”
"Why is it the same as lunch? Can we change the dishes at night?"
"Do you think it's easy to make food for hundreds of people? You can change it if you want. Who the hell are you!"
"I, Tao Dong, are here, who are you?"
"You don't know who I am?"
"I don't know!"
"Great, bye!"
"..."
In any case, the communication system can be put into use in the shortest possible time, which is definitely a good thing worth celebrating. To sum up, the landing operation and base construction work on the first day can be said to have been smooth. There were only a few work-related injuries, which were minor injuries such as sprains and scratches on the feet during construction. After timely treatment by the medical team, they were not injured. No big deal. By the time of dinner, the foundation leveling and tent erection had been completed on Base No. 1. Drainage ditches had been dug inside and outside the base, a circle of wooden piles had been driven around the perimeter, barbed wire had been pulled up, and two six-meter-high simple wooden tents had been erected. Watchtower.
The barbed wire fence was pulled not out of fear that someone would attack the base at night, but mainly to prevent some unknown wild beasts from intruding in the forest. In terms of accommodation, a total of ten large tents have been built, of which two are allocated to girls, six to boys, and two are reserved for families. Considering health and environmental issues, the livestock sheds affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture are still some distance away from the base. Therefore, several people led by Yuan Qiuye insisted on camping closer to the livestock sheds. In the end, the executive committee had to agree. They applied, but for safety reasons, four people from the military police team were also sent to work in two shifts at night. Tonight, more than 400 of the total 450 people will live in the base, while the others will live on various ships. In addition, a group of people from the North American Gang also collectively chose to continue living on the boat. It is no wonder that at least they have their own independent bedrooms on those two sailboats, and they have rare personal space in the collective living environment. Even Tao Donglai felt a little regretful. He should have been a little selfish and set aside some funds to buy a sailing yacht like this.
After dinner, the headquarters stopped all construction work, and people who had worked hard all day could freely arrange the remaining hours of the day. However, the headquarters still reminds everyone not to leave the base too far, because if you go further inland, you may encounter Li people. If you don't understand the language, there may be some misunderstandings. Most people chose to rest at the base. After all, moving bricks for a day has exhausted their physical strength. Even if they want to do something, they don't have the energy. Only some children ran excitedly to the beach to play, seemingly unaware that they had arrived in another time and space.
The heads of various departments cannot rest yet. They must hold a meeting in the headquarters tent to summarize today's work progress and coordinate and arrange tomorrow's work.
Tao Donglai first pointed out that the chaos caused by the headquarters' error in the morning directly delayed the construction of the floating dock. All members of the headquarters bear leadership responsibility for this. Fortunately, there were no major problems in the follow-up work, and finally nothing happened. It would have too great an impact on the landing plan. An important reason for this confusion is that the headquarters overestimated the role of walkie-talkies in advance, thinking that as long as each department was issued a walkie-talkie, it would be able to give orders. However, in actual operation, it was discovered that because there were too many people on the same channel, There are often too many people talking about one thing, and the noise of a large number of construction machinery also makes people on the construction site most likely to ignore the call on the intercom.
However, with the establishment of the PHS system, this problem can be solved. With one number per person, the headquarters can achieve precise point-to-point command and maximize efficiency. But then a new problem emerged, that is, the allocation of phone numbers. According to the habit of Chinese people, they always like to choose some numbers that they like when picking numbers. This habit has of course been brought to the new time and space. But it was obviously impossible for the communication group to send everyone a lucky number of 6 or 8, so the unfair method of assigning numbers was simply abandoned.
The number allocation plan proposed by the communication group is very simple. All private phone numbers start with "10", and the last four digits are drawn by the number user through a lottery. If the numbers are the same, they will be dealt with in the order of first come, first served. As for whether you can get a series of eight or Six, then it all depends on luck. In order to take into account the need for compiling and distributing telephone directories in the future, unit telephone numbers must be organized according to the establishment. For example, the telephone number of the Ministry of Industry can start with "2x", the Ministry of Agriculture can use "3x", and so on. It can also be conveniently assigned to each department. Coding is performed by departmental teams within the department.
Of course, it is said to be a lottery, but as a leader, you still have some privileges. For example, Tao Donglai was very happy to receive the very symbolic number 100001. Although PHS was not a high-end gadget for the former rich man, this kind of treatment still satisfied his vanity a little. Got a handful. After playing PHS for a while, Tao Donglai suddenly came back to his senses: "Speaking of Wu Zhuo, 100001 doesn't seem to be the first number, right?"
Wu Zhuo was busy giving people behind him origami balls to draw numbers. When he heard this, he replied without raising his head: "That's no nonsense. We have no intention of releasing the number 100,000. There are so many prostitutes who like small numbers. We have to let these people be released." People are trying to steal it... I plan to keep it as a service number for the telecommunications company in the future.”
Tao Donglai wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the headquarters. Everyone registered the numbers in about ten minutes, and then the communication team, led by Wu Zhuo, went to the tent to issue the number.
The meeting continued. Mr. Yuan Ruoxiu, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, stood up and said, "Please give me some time to say a few words."
Once the old man spoke, no one would object. Food is the foundation for survival, and the Executive Committee still attaches great importance to the opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Mr. Yuan mainly made two points. First, agricultural land must be reclaimed as soon as possible so that you can not panic if you have food on hand. Second, the arrangement of manpower and material resources must be tilted towards the Ministry of Agriculture. Otherwise, we will have to wait for a few people from the Ministry of Agriculture to If we open up wasteland for farming, the last few hundred people will probably starve to death in Sanya.
In the list of supplies prepared by the Executive Committee, food actually accounts for a large proportion. Even if these hundreds of people do nothing, the nearly 500 tons of food carried on the "New World" will be enough for everyone to eat. years. But what Mr. Yuan said is right. If the Travelers want to take root in Sanya, the few hundred people in front of them are obviously not enough, and the expansion of the population will inevitably bring about food problems. Now it seems like enough to feed hundreds of people for a year, but what if the population doubles or even more?
The heads of various departments put forward opinions and suggestions one after another, and the executive committee also made some adjustments to the original plan based on the actual situation reported. The meeting in the headquarters came to an end when most people had already fallen asleep. After the meeting, Yan Chujie personally visited various duty stations under the Military and Police Department to ensure that the pre-arrangements were implemented step by step, and then used a tablet to log in to the forum that had just been restored. Yan Chujie knew that when he came back with the two fishermen captives today, he was criticized all the way because he was dressed too ostentatiously. Presumably, those *** had already angrily complained on the forum, "Yan Chujie is hiding in the executive committee." "The big cents in it", as the most loyal defender of the Executive Committee, Yan Chujie will never let these evil trends that take the extreme left line go!
Unknowingly, the first day after time travel was spent in such a busy way.
