"—The above is my financial report." Xiao Zishan finished the report in front of a group of people with serious expressions in the conference room, and finally he added a superfluous sentence: "I promise that I am not greedy for a penny!"

"Whether there is any financial problem, we will know after the audit by the financial department, so you don't have to guarantee it." Ma Qianju didn't trust this kind of free testimony at all.If no one is corrupt now, it is because there is no need to be corrupt right now.

"Now let me talk about the current progress of each department, their requirements and the problems they are facing." Ma Qianju took out his notebook.

As of today: November 1628, 11, the work progress of the traversers since D+10 is:

Communication: basically complete the wireless communication network centered on Bairen City, covering a range of 35km to 40km.A remote radio station was set up in Guangzhou, and a 15W radio station was set up in Yanchang Village.

The next step plan: complete the erection of wired telephones for Bopu Port-Bairen City, Damei Village-Bairen City, Yanchang Village-Bairen City, and set up a telephone central office in Bairen City.

Problems: Lack of adequate wiring and insulation.

After joint consultations between the industrial and communication departments, it is considered that telephone wires can be produced by themselves, provided that raw materials can be obtained: iron wire or copper wire.As for insulating equipment, glassware can be used instead.

能源：完成发电总装机容量630KW，其中水力发电200KW，火力发电420KW（博铺、百仞城各有1台213KW的锅驼机发电）。其他能源10KW。完成了博铺－百仞城的输配电网络。在盐场村设置了风力发电系统。

Next step plan: Phase II of Bairentan Hydropower Station will add a 1KW unit.

Existing problems: Insufficient building materials and labor force.

建筑：16孔轮窑1座，石灰窑1座，联合砖瓦机2台，土法电动磨碎机1台。砖瓦最大年生产能力3000万块。另可日产火山灰水泥1吨。立式水泥窑1座，工程进度85％，完成后可日产硅酸盐水泥55吨。

Existing problems: lack of coal and iron ore necessary for making cement.The lack of cement and steel made it impossible to use concrete for construction.

Transportation: The Bopu-Bairen City-Lingao County Simple Highway has been constructed.

The next step is to build the Bairentan Bridge, open the Yanchang Village-Bairencheng Simple Road, and renovate the Bopu Port-Bairentan section of the Wenlan River to make it suitable for shipping.

目前拥有的交通工具：四驱农用车12辆、北京212吉普2辆、750带斗摩托车4辆、125摩托车10辆、自行车200辆。工业部门还整修改造了在战斗中缴获的17辆手推车，自行制造了10辆双轮马车。另有从丰城轮上卸下2艘小艇，担任文澜河上的水运，不过这河的径流深度有限（枯水期仅1米），穿越者缺少合适的浅吃水船只，水运实际上规模极小。

The wear and tear of large-scale construction machinery is relatively serious, especially the consumption of hydraulic parts. These parts are limited to the industrial level and cannot be repaired.According to the current project intensity estimation, all kinds of vulnerable parts will be consumed within 18 months.Cars and motorcycles are in good condition.It is the prospect of fuel supply that is worrying.There are still a lot of diesel reserves, and gasoline is volatile and degenerate, and the stock is not much, and it is about to be used up. It is necessary to develop alternative energy sources as soon as possible.Lubricant stocks are high and development of ready-to-use products has been initiated by the agricultural sector, targeting castor.The manufacture of four-wheeled carriages was stranded because of the lack of metal materials, and the steering gear and shock-absorbing leaf springs could not be manufactured.

Manufacturing and processing industry: The infrastructure construction and equipment installation of the machinery factory have been completed. The machinery factory is formed by adding some machinery and equipment on the basis of Zhan Wuya's machinery factory.But so far, the start of work is seriously insufficient, and it is in a state of waiting for the rice to be cooked.

The processing and manufacturing of woodware, bamboo and rattan wares are relatively prosperous.In particular, helmet manufacturing has formed a batch capacity.Bopu's wood processing and wood manufacturing have formed a stable scale, with one drying kiln and one dry distillation kiln each.Not only can it produce boards, furniture, and wood components of various sizes and specifications, but it can also manufacture wood tar, tannin extract, and charcoal.Although jute is lacking, fairly strong ropes have been successfully made using locally grown flax and hemp.

Chemical Industry: Controlling the main salt field in Lingao: Ma Niao Salt Field.Adopting the method of traditional technology, it can produce 1 ton of table salt every day.The short-term goal is to improve and expand the scale, and strive to produce an average of 5 tons of unpurified coarse salt and 1 ton of table salt every day.

A set of 800 tons of synthetic ammonia and combined soda production system and a set of coal coking chemical system are being installed. These complete sets of equipment are heavy, have many components, and have many pipelines. The installation is very complicated and the progress is slow.Fortunately, the people who traveled across the country did not have the ability to supply coal on a large scale.The chemical department plans to build another indigenous electrolytic salt factory in Bopu to manufacture table salt, caustic soda and bleaching powder. For this reason, an application is made to expand the generator capacity in Bopu.

Since the synthetic ammonia industry has not been put into production, the chemical group can only focus on the use of existing materials such as gunpowder and zha powder, and has successfully used the ammonium nitrate in stock to produce ammonia wood zha, and is currently concentrating its efforts on the seizure from the Gou family. The powdered powder is granulated.In addition, the finished nitric acid brought in was used to trial-produce nitrocellulose and thunderbolt.Because of the high risk, the application is to find another safer location as a pharmaceutical factory.

Mining and Metallurgical Department: Mastered a construction quarry.The mineral resources that can be fully supplied are: clay, limestone, quartz sand, lignite.

4 small converters and supporting steel processing equipment such as forging machines, rolling mills, and cold drawing machines are installed in place. If the pig iron can be fully supplied, 10-15 tons of crude steel can be produced every day.But at present, only one 1-ton converter has been started intermittently. The raw materials are iron cannons, weapons and irons seized in previous battles, as well as some damaged steel tools.The fuel used is charcoal, which is expensive and can only make much-needed hardware and tools.The construction of the blast furnace requires a large amount of iron ore, coke, and lime, and it is not suitable to stop the furnace once it is ignited. If the supply of raw materials cannot be guaranteed, the construction will not be carried out temporarily.

Civil sector: 1 indigenous papermaking workshop has been put into operation, using rags, waste cotton and straw to make rough paper for daily use.It is planned to recruit some paper-making masters in the mainland to improve the paper.In addition, a modern paper mill will be built after the acid-base products are put into mass production, which will not only fully supply the office and household paper needs of Chuanzhong, but also export to the mainland and overseas on a large scale.

Those that have been put into operation or will soon be put into operation include: textile factories, garment factories, food factories, and ceramic factories.

Glass factories, sugar refineries, and cigarette factories temporarily cannot be put into operation due to raw material problems, and the raw material problems are being resolved.

……

"Generally speaking, our industrialization is mainly stuck on three important issues: electricity, coal, and iron." Ma Qianju made a speech and concluded, building an industrial system—even if they are targeting the industrial system of the 19th century However, it is still difficult to implement it.

Regarding the issue of pig iron, if the channel to obtain pig iron from Guangdong can be opened, a stable supply of pig iron will be obtained in a relatively long period of time.Coal, the Executive Committee decided to send people to Vietnam to buy coal as soon as possible.He suggested that you might as well dispatch a barge to buy coal, and simply buy 1000 tons of it at once.As coal is the main chemical raw material, it is not too much to consume some diesel.

"With sufficient coal and steel, the industrial sector can imitate the steam engine, and with sufficient prime movers, the industrial capacity can immediately rise to a higher level." Ma Qianzhu explained.The efficiency of the steam engine is not high, but it is simple in structure and easy to manufacture, which is very suitable for traveling through the current situation.In addition to being used to drive the generator, it can also directly drive the operation of some machinery.The Executive Committee is also preparing to use it as a future ship propulsion.

In addition to steam engines, the industrial sector also manufactures a large number of hardware and tools. These products are in great demand during the current infrastructure boom, and the supply is almost in short supply.

Next, Wu De reported as the supervisor of the labor department, "The labor force is still relatively tight. As of 0 o'clock in the morning today, the human resources directly controlled are as follows—"

Traveling crowd: 478 people

Bairen production team: 141 people

Bairen production team two: 605 people (moved from the original Goujiazhuang)

Captives: 153 people (servants of the Gou family, servants, family members, etc.)

Servants: 176 (buy in Guangzhou, 98 have been shipped back)

The human resources indirectly controlled by Crossover are:

Yanchang Village: 200 households, about 800 people

Damei Village: 50 households, about 250 people

From the perspective of population structure, there are many young and middle-aged people in the indigenous labor force, but the ratio of men to women is out of balance, especially in the two production teams, the ratio of men to women in the first team is as high as 9:1; the second team is also 5:1.In the two villages, apart from Yanchang Village where the male to female ratio is relatively normal, the same problem exists in Damei Village.

The reason is that Lingao has a large number of migrants, and it has always been the main place for mainland immigrants to move in. There are many foreign farmers who come to reclamation wasteland alone and do long-term and short-term labor. Most of them are from Guangdong and Fujian. As far as Jiangxi, Lianghu and even North Zhili and Shandong.

Such a population structure is very beneficial in the short term. After all, young and middle-aged men are the main force in construction. However, in the long run, where there is a lack of women, men will not start families and start businesses there.Therefore, when introducing immigrants in the future, it is necessary to focus on the ratio of men to women.
