Chapter 149 Taijiang Defense Plan
As time goes by, the news that a certain force occupies the big staff will continue to spread, and the communication between the traversing crowd and the outside world will become more and more frequent-in 1628, there will inevitably be some medium and large ships coming to the big staff. The dredging project of the crew channel and the entire Taijiang River has become more and more urgent.

"How efficient is this ship? How long will it take to clear the channel?" Xia Xianze, who had been watching Haidilao for a long time, put down his binoculars and began to ask.

"The capacity of the grab bucket is not large, so the efficiency will not be very high." Yao Zhesheng, the designer of the dredger, came out to explain at this time.

Considering the counterweight of the metal boom and the bucket, the top-heavy wooden raft did not dare to use a large grab bucket, so the amount of sediment excavated each time was only 0.6 cubic meters.Coupled with the crude operating system and the difficulty of moving the raft itself, the efficiency is definitely not high.

Of course, when it comes to efficiency, compared with some frenzied island-building ships of later generations, the Haidilao of Chuanzhong is naturally weak, but in the 17th century, the efficiency of this ship was definitely ranked first in the world.

"If the main channel is dug to an average depth of two meters, it should take less than a month." At this time, Chen Dong from the infrastructure department opened his mouth and added.

The main channel in Chen Dong's mouth is actually the "South Waterway" where ships come and go daily.The "North Waterway", which is separated from the South Waterway by a slender sandbar, was almost connected to the Northern Line Wei Island at this time due to serious silting in the early years.

"If it's two meters long, don't you need to barge this kind of boat?" After hearing this, Xia Xianze pointed to the Xing'an Ping, which was sailing to the other side of the Taijiang River.

"No, all sharp-bottomed lucky boats below 800 materials can pass."

"It's still not enough, half a year. It takes half a year to completely deepen and widen the waterway. It's best to dig out the sandbar and connect the north and south waterways. The waterway should be prepared according to the draft of a gunboat above a thousand tons." Xia Xianze made the final decision at this time.

The people next to him didn't have any objections. It took half a year to clear the most important waterway.After finishing speaking, Xia Xianze raised his binoculars again: "Where did all the sand go?"

"Luermen." Liu Zhe, who is wearing a blue 07-style navy uniform and is currently the commander of the Coast Guard, replied.

Luermen is a waterway at the northern end of Weidao on the northern line.This waterway is extremely narrow, only small boats are allowed to pass through, and the water is fast-moving, the terrain is steep, and various accidents often occur.Because of sea tides, earthquakes, and the diversion of the Zengwen River on the other side of the Taijiang River, Luermen is often silted up and diverted, which is unpredictable.

Originally in history, 33 years later, the fleet led by Guo Xingye, led by the ghost translator He Bin, took advantage of the astronomical tide, rushed into the Taijiang River from Luermen, and exploded the chrysanthemums of the Dutch.

Traveling through the crowd does not need such uncertain factors, even if there is artillery blockade and radar exposure: the army instinctively needs to control this kind of management loopholes.So Liu Zhe asked the barge to transport all the sediment to Luermen from the very beginning, so as to completely fill up the waterway.

Not only the waterways are filled, but many places in the northern line of Oshima Island will be submerged when the tide is high. In the future, all these places will need to be filled and raised.

In the army's plan, the top of Wei Island on the Northern Line and the southern end of Dayuan Island will be filled with sea sand produced by dredgers in the future to form a sand embankment connecting Taiwan's main island.In this case, not only will the two islands have a direct connection to the land, but it will also be easy to defend.

The closed defense plan in the shape of "口" prevents the possibility of the fleet rushing into the Taijiang River from other places, and only the main channel left in the middle section on the left can enter and exit.Of course, if someone uses a small boat to refute people and plans to form a team to rush into the big island from the sand embankment, then the philosophical proposition of how many people can be penetrated by a 12.7MM machine gun bullet can get the correct answer
After listening to Liu Zhe's defense plan for the entire Taijiang Inner Sea, Xia Xianze glanced around and saw no objection, so he nodded, indicating that the plan was feasible.The next step is to go back to each house - Haidilao has passed the acceptance inspection, the on-site meeting has also been completed, and the 10 or so people suddenly dispersed.

Most of the people went back to work in the commercial building, except for Professor Luo, who came down from the fort and hurried to the pier: he is now in charge of the business activities in the Ming people's area, so he is going to receive Xing'an Ping and the Lin brothers.

In fact, Professor Luo just came back from Madou Club a few days ago.During the days when he was sitting in Madou, Professor Luo used Latin as a solicitor, beat the elders, abducted children, and robbed women from civilians. In short, he did everything.

After returning to the senior staff, the senior office promoted Professor Luo to be the director of the newly established Port Authority in view of the fact that during his stay in Madou, Professor Luo provided many young adults, students and women of childbearing age for Yao District, Chikan Primary School and the New District. , also in charge of domestic trade specifically for Ming merchants.

When Professor Luo came to Chikan Wharf in a small sampan, the Xing'an Ping had already entered the berth, stopped the ship and dropped anchor. The Lin brothers were directing the unloading of the ship at the moment.

Until now, the two brothers have not been able to wake up from the shock brought to them by the senior officials.The difference is that Lin Baoan is a little younger, and his attention is still focused on the salvage boat at the moment, standing at the bow of the boat and still looking back.

But Lin Baoquan is well-informed, mature and steady, what makes him more concerned at the moment is the Chikan New District behind the wharf.

The east bank of the Taijiang River has been planned.The Chikan City/Chikan District Government Square, which is under construction, is located in the middle of the Taijiang River, facing the Dayuan Commercial Hall on the opposite bank.With the Chikan grid as the boundary, there are several high-end sea-view residential blocks to the north, and then to the corner of the Taijiang River to the north, where the shipyard and the shipyard dormitory area are planned.

To the south of Chikan City is the wharf and storage area.The Xing'an Ping is parked at the newly built wharf area at the lower right corner of the Taijiang River. The construction of other planned wood gas cold storages has already begun, and the storage area including various large warehouses will continue to extend southward.

As a high-end sea-view residential area with a priority second only to Chikan Primary School, the first square has been completed: long red brick walls, beautiful black basalt paths, and camphor wood huts full of tropical style, seemingly messy , in fact, it is just a variety of ornamental plants that can block the eyes of friends and neighbors.
This is not a rigid staff dormitory. These huts for the traveler to live in are standard configurations in seaside tourist areas in later generations, with sophisticated materials and complete equipment.The owner can sit on the porch and watch the sea view and drink iced tea, or eat kebabs at the back of the house. When you are interested, you can even have sex with your sister in various dark corners. It can be said that the design is reasonable, the style is coquettish, and there is no formaldehyde. .The girl is missing.

The girls are not far away—after the construction of the community was completed, the fleet carrying many new and acquainted girls began to rush to Dayuan immediately.The familiar girls haven't seen their master for half a year, and the raw girls still don't know who their master is.But it doesn't matter, the purchasing agent has already sent the selfie back to the senior, so the gentlemen know who is who.
