Chapter 189 Good News from Black Earth Port
The two young men looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a moment. It took a long time for Fu Li to speak: "Did we do something wrong? This Juren master seems to be a distinguished guest of the chiefs..."
Yu Xiaobao was also a little unsure. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's better to go and tell the leaders. We can't let this Juren master come to complain first."
So the two teenagers threw the fishing rods on the boat, went down to the shore, pushed out their bicycles, rode on them, and headed straight for Base No. 1. Their two bicycles were specially approved by the executive committee. They are the only two mountain bikes provided to the local people. Although they are said to be local people, in fact, only the two of them can ride them. This also shows that the two teenagers Now he is deeply loved by the executive committee members.
When the two returned to the base, they first found Ning Qi and told them the whole story of what had just happened. After hearing this, Ning Qi naturally didn't feel nervous. On the contrary, he felt that he couldn't laugh or cry. The dignified Ming Dynasty candidate was ridiculed by two children who had just started to attend elementary school because of two jingles made up by Yan Chujie. This was really like beating him to death with random punches. The example of a master.
Although the two ethnic groups separated by four hundred years share the same culture and lineage, the values of later generations are indeed very different from those of the Ming Dynasty of this era. Many conflicts will definitely arise in the contact between the two parties. Especially in terms of culture, the various pragmatic practices of the Cross-Travel Group will definitely not be fully recognized by orthodox literati like Li Nai. Even if he admits that there is a clear gap in productivity between Ming Dynasty and Haihan, he will never It is possible to accept the argument that "poems, lyrics and songs are useless", which goes against the concept of Ming literati.
As a fellow literati, Ning Qi could completely imagine Li Nai's feelings, just like if someone preached to him that mathematics, physics and chemistry were useless, he would definitely have the idea of teasing them. However, Ning Qi felt that this was not a big deal, and Li Nai was angry, but it would certainly not affect the cooperation between the two parties. After all, in addition to his reputation as a civil servant, he also has the identity of a businessman. For a professional businessman, it is not important whether he can maintain the same values as the partner, but whether the cooperative business can make money is the key. For "Fu Ruifeng", all the business cooperation with Haihan people are projects with huge profits and huge market. How can such a trivial matter affect the future big business with a monthly transaction volume of tens of thousands of taels.
Of course, Fu Li and Yu Xiaobao maintain Haihan's values so much. Such performance is worthy of Ning Qi as an educator. It is not difficult to think that in a few years, these teenagers will definitely regard themselves as Haihan people. Be a part of this group and protect the interests of this collective from the heart. Ning Qi comforted the two teenagers and asked them to go back first. He still has to rush to attend the temporary meeting of the Executive Committee - there is news from Black Earth Port that after a full month of construction, the transportation channel there has been finally completed recently, and it is estimated that the transportation of the long-awaited goods to the base camp will begin soon. coal for a long time.
After receiving the notice, the executive committee members arrived one after another. Even Mr. Yuan, who has not been in good health since time travel, cheered up and attended the meeting today. Tao Donglai relayed the telegram sent by Heitu Port this morning to all the executive committee members, and gave a detailed explanation of the current situation of Heitu Port.
Although the colonization team encountered heavy rains and flash floods shortly after landing at Black Tu Port, the Black Tu Port Management Committee quickly organized production self-rescue, restored normal local order in a short period of time, and began to implement 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 the coal mine whose mining location has already been surveyed.
At present, the coal mine in Heitu Port has two mining sites in operation, one of which produces coking coal that is very important to Chuanchuan Group. Relevant supporting production facilities were also successfully built with the assistance of the Ministry of Construction. They were divided into coal receiving, screening, crushing, coal preparation, storage, shipping and other links. They were 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, fortunately, Black Earth Port lacks everything except labor. Sufficient labor is enough to ensure the smooth production of the coal mine.
The coal mine has also built two coke ovens nearby outside the mining area, which will complete part of the coke production locally, while a considerable amount of coking coal will be directly transported back to the base camp for processing. The reason why such a production ratio is maintained is not because Black Earth Port has no ability to build more coke ovens, but because of the arrangement of the executive committee.
In the future, the chemical industry department will engage in the production of combined alkali production methods, and ammonia is a necessity. There are only three main methods of ammonia production, natural gas, heavy oil and coal coke. Chuan Chuan Group is still far away from establishing an oil and natural gas industry, and the only available method is to rely on coal coke to produce ammonia. It is obvious that there is currently no possibility of large-scale chemical industry in Black Earth Port, so this part of the production process can only be carried out locally. This arrangement is useless even if Black Tu Port objects. The Ministry of Agriculture has been eagerly waiting for the production of fertilizers after synthetic ammonia is put into production. The Executive Committee cannot sacrifice agriculture with greater impact for the benefit of the small collective of Black Tu Port. Of course, the Executive Committee does not object to Black Earth Port increasing its 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. The more the better, and as much as possible is necessary How many.
In terms of civil affairs, Black Tu Port has never stopped introducing immigrants from the coast of Vietnam. After nearly a month of population rush by the colonization fleet, the number of immigrants resettled in Black Earth Port has reached more than 2,400, 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 back to the base camp from Black Earth Port for resettlement. This is good news for the Executive Committee, which is eager to enrich the local population.
Since Black Tu Port has a wide range of immigrants, Black Tu Port has even built a small shipyard in the port area. Of course, the scale and shipbuilding capabilities cannot be compared with the local shipyards. Not to mention sea-going ships with more than 200 materials, even ships with 100 materials cannot be built now. The personnel are mainly collected from local Vietnamese. The main ones are shipwrights and carpenters, and the technical guidance is Xie Chun, the jack-of-all-trades of the Shipping Department. Although Xie Chun did not have a scientific background like Yue Zhiyun Sun Changmi, he had been working in the Ministry of Shipping for so long and was also a ship enthusiast. The computer he brought contained a lot of relevant information to guide these seventeenth-century shipbuilders. A few small fishing boats are still fine. Compared with the few small wooden boats brought by the first batch of fishermen who moved to Black Earth 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 previous plan to set up a shipyard in Black Earth Port, there was no large reserve of ship timber. Until now, only two small fishing boats have been built as test products. A wood drying room is currently being built. The next step is to use the shipyard's Further expand the scale and strive to be able to build 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 was finally built - of course, it is only a single line at the moment, and there is really no possibility of completing the construction of a double line in such a short period of time. sex. After completion, coal from inland mining sites can be transported directly to the cargo yard in the port area by animal-drawn mine cars on the track. The entire track is 1,450 meters long. A round-trip shipment can be completed every two hours, and a single transportation The volume reached ten tons. When double tracks are built in the future and steam power is used, the transport capacity will increase exponentially.
However, bad news also came back at the same time. Liu Shanxia, who was in charge of the project, fell ill three days before the completion of the project due to overwork. He is currently recuperating locally and his condition remains to be seen. If his condition does not improve significantly within a short period of time, Liu Shanxia may not be able to return to Victory Port with the first batch of cargo ships carrying coal. As a result, some infrastructure projects in Tiandu Industrial Zone may also be affected and cause delays.
For such emergencies, what the executive committee can do is to let local medical experts remotely command local medical staff to see if there is any possibility of cure, and to have the clippers and medical staff on standby. If Liu Shanxia's If the disease cannot be controlled locally, then the local government will send a team of experts to take a look. If it fails, the people will be brought back to the base camp first. The fast sailing ship only takes two days to sail, which is at least twice as fast as the lucky ship, and the bumps on the road will be smaller.
Currently, 300 tons of coal have been stored in the coal yard in the Black Tu Port area, and are waiting for the return of the fleet sent to the coast of Vietnam to collect immigrants. When the fleet returns to Victory Port and puts down the immigrants, it will start loading goods and supplies. Then, after the crew and sailors rest for a day or two, they will set off from Heitu Port and travel along Heitu Port - Fushuizhou Island - Changhua Port - Ying This route from Gezui to Yazhou returns all the way to Shengli Port.
The reason why the base camp has to be notified so many days in advance is not only to announce the good news, but also to give the base camp time to prepare. This kind of preparation is not only the local renovation 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, food, etc., the relevant departments also need to prepare in advance to avoid the fleet The delay in Port Victory was too long - three ships in the fleet were rented. Not making full use of the limited time would be a waste of high rent.
