Chapter 509 Preparations

The laborers preparing to go to Sanya have been training for more than three months.They are healthy young adults recruited from immigrants, and there are more than 3000 people in total.Military training is organized according to the military system.

These workers will land as infrastructure workers, and after completing the infrastructure work, they will be transferred to employees of Tiandu Mining Bureau on the spot.

According to the Dugong, this is the Construction Corps of the Crossing Group, but Zhuo Tianmin, the project manager of the Lingao Construction Company who was appointed to be in charge of the project, is not at all interested in this title.

"I think it's called the engineering team. It's too complicated to call the Corps. Besides, how does the construction company command the Corps?"

After the military training, professional training began for this large engineering team.The military training is mainly to improve their organization and discipline, and the crossing group does not intend to rely on them to fight. The army will transfer a battalion to accompany them to Yulin Fort, and will be stationed there in the future.To this end the Army was granted permission to recruit a battalion of immigrants who had recently completed quarantine to fill the slack.

This infantry battalion will be the basic armed force of the crossing group in the Sanya area in the future. On the one hand, it will be used to fight against possible indigenous armed forces and the Ming army. On the other hand, the more important purpose is to deter and suppress rebellion within the engineering team.The Executive Committee believes that this kind of thing is almost inevitable in terms of the local harsh environment and construction intensity.

Zhuo Tianmin gave the executive committee a list of the various professional workers he needed. In addition to more than 1000 basic laborers, Lingao Construction Company's own construction team also had to recruit all the staff.Each department will also transfer some skilled workers to accompany the team.

Even so, the gap is still huge.Therefore, Zhuo Tianmin asked the executive committee to coordinate and deploy skilled workers to train the engineering team—this would at least solve some of the jobs with low technical requirements.

Zhuo Tianmin set up five training courses, and selected workers from the labor force to participate in the training.

The first one is a training class for construction workers, which is taught by rough carpenters, masons and plumbers from the engineering team of Lingao Construction Company.

The second is the blasting training class, which specializes in explosive blasting engineering, and is taught by Panda's engineers.

The third is the road construction training class, which is led by Shan Daoqian and Li Chiqi. In addition to learning road construction and laying rails, it also includes skills in repairing and driving vehicles.

The fourth is collection training class.Trained by members of the remote exploration team.The Yulingang area is still a barren land. There are rich timber and wild animal and plant resources in the area. It would be a pity not to use them.Learn logging, fishing, gathering and hunting skills.

The last one is a health training class, led by the Ministry of Health, to train a group of basic health workers-the Ministry of Health will also send a health team to accompany the team, but compared with the first batch, there are more than 1000 people, and there will be another 1000 people who landed later. For large-scale operations, a seven-member health team is just a drop in the bucket, and a lot of basic health care needs people to do it.

In addition to the labor used for construction and mining, Wu De has selected [-] families from the immigrants as a whole according to the instructions.This group of immigrants was led by Hu Wumei, the former pirate leader under Zhucai, also known as Fatty Hu.As a resident of Xin'an Pleasure City.

This batch of immigrants was selected with a special occupation: most of them were farmers, but there were also craftsmen and small businessmen.They will arrive at Yulingang after the infrastructure works are completed.

In order to allow the engineering team to adapt to the next boat trip, so as not to be unable to start work due to seasickness when they landed, Zhuo Tianmin arranged the workers to sleep on the empty boat in Bopu Port for adaptive training.

Zhuo Tianmin chose Qionghai Coal as the ship responsible for transporting the engineering team -- without him, this was the largest ship in the hands of the Crossing Group, and it could transport enough people at one time.Chen Haiyang immediately recalled Qionghai coal from coal transportation and replaced it with smaller ships.

The recalled Qionghai coal cleaning cabin was renamed "Sanya No. [-]". Its main task is to carry people. Many hammocks and bunks were installed on the ship, and toilet pedals and handrails were installed on both sides of the ship. .

The auxiliary ship carrying materials chose a flat-deck self-propelled cargo barge with a load capacity of 1500 tons.Its large cargo capacity and shallow draft are useful for landing operations.Originally, the ship had been sleeping in Bopu because of the fuel, and it was acting as a floating crane.Now the cranes on it have been removed and the hull cleaned.The cabin was unsealed, and the empty oil tank was also connected to the oil pipe of the Fengcheng ship, and it was refilled with diesel oil.

"Can this boat still move?" Wang Luobin was a little worried.

"It's definitely possible." Mond assured, "When it was sealed, the engine room was sealed after major maintenance was done according to the regulations. It's only been more than a year now, and there will be no problems."

After the generator test run, everything is normal.The technical level of self-propelled barges is not high, and they are quite sturdy and durable ships.

The self-propelled barge got a new ship name "Speed ​​Whale".It and the Big Whale, which is undergoing modernization and is equipped with a diesel engine, will be responsible for the transportation of large materials and equipment for this operation.

Wang Luobin led the people from the mechanical department, and boarded the Fengcheng wheel again, wandering around in its huge engine room, lowering his head to discuss something from time to time.

"Wang Gong, the small gasifier may not be able to get the auxiliary engine running." Jiang Ye pushed the helmet on his head.There was an unpleasant smell of engine oil in the dark cabin, and the air was cloudy.Since the auxiliary engine of the Fengcheng ship stopped, the auxiliary engine room has been in a sealed state, and no one has entered or exited it except for the monthly regular inspection.

"It's too wasteful not to run such a large auxiliary engine. The power generated by these two auxiliary engines alone can surpass many camel machines."

Wang Luobin's task is to restart the generator on the Fengcheng ship and take on part of the task of supplying power to the shore.Originally working in Bopu Power Station, it is planned to be transported to Yulingang as the first batch of builders’ mobile power stations.

"It's a pity that the diesel output of the coal coking plant is too low."

"Burn coconut oil. Marine auxiliary engines are quite durable and don't need high-quality diesel."

"First, the viscosity of coconut oil is too high, and it will be useless without the hydrogenation process; second, the output of coconut oil is also very limited, and this marine auxiliary engine is a big appetite." Wang Luobin said a lot of this black hole High-power marine diesel auxiliary engine.It would be nice to be able to remove the generator it drives. It is always easy to use a steam engine to drive power generation.

However, it is too much work to disassemble the generator set and transport it to the shore to make it run again, and there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof.You must know that generators, especially high-power generators, are the most important supplies of the Transit Group.

"How about a gas stove with or without continuous feed?"

"The pipeline is not easy to build. Not only must it be well sealed, but it also needs to be erected on the water surface. I'm afraid the materials we have are not good enough." Wang Luobin shook his head.

"How about just building it on the ship?" Xiao Gui said, "The gasifier is directly built on the deck. The pipeline can directly use the original pipeline in the engine room. You can also build the pipeline yourself."

"Nothing else, just afraid of explosion." Wang Luobin thought this was an easy solution.

"The problem is not too big." The proposal of the gas furnace is very suitable for Jiang Ye's appetite. "The material of the gasifier is better, and it is directly installed on the deck, with explosion-proof sandbags around it."

After the discussion, it was decided to install a gasifier on the deck of Fengcheng Ship. Li Di was greatly annoyed by this decision - a gas bag on the rear deck of a large iron ship with beautiful lines is not counted, sandbags must be surrounded, and coal must be stored Cang... this is too ugly.

However, the use of electricity is the top priority, and Li Di's objection has no effect.His objection on the grounds of military security was also rejected-because someone demonstrated that except for the cannons of the Crossing Group, no one can hit the shells on the Fengcheng ship deck.

"Don't worry, when the oil industry comes together, this thing will be dismantled." Wang Luobin comforted him.

"This is the year of the monkey."

"It won't be long, and the second five-year plan will definitely be launched."

Chen Haiyang has no objection. If the auxiliary engine is not running, the Fengcheng ship is almost a dead ship. Relying on the shore to send electricity, it can only maintain a small amount of equipment in operation, and cannot use many of the equipment on it.However, he expressed concern about safety-it is gas and coal, piled on the deck, and it will be terrible if it explodes and catches fire.

"Right now, we can only say that it is best to be careful. There is nothing foolproof in industrial production," Wang Luobin said. "There are water pumps on the ship. The key is that the system is in place and the responsibility is in place. The sailors stationed on the ship usually conduct fire drills in addition to drills." Not bad."

"I will focus on this matter." Chen Haiyang said, "You also have to take care of the operators to ensure safe production. Although Fengcheng Wheel is currently 'pressing the wharf', our existence of warships - the embodiment of deterrence, in case something goes wrong Things are nothing more than the shattering of a myth."

Once the auxiliary engine of Fengcheng Wheel was running and connected to the grid for power generation, all four mobile 100-horsepower boiler machines in Bopu Power Station stopped operating.These machines were sent to the machinery factory to be disassembled for the first overhaul, and the Industrial Energy Commission will no longer use boiler machines as the main power generation equipment in the future power field.

"Since it has been proved that the diesel engine can run on gas, all the diesel generator sets in stock can be put into use." Wang Luobin gave instructions to Chang Kaishen of the power company.

Due to the lack of fuel, several sets of diesel generator sets brought by the Crossing Group have been sealed up as reserve equipment except for a period of operation before the Bairen Hydropower Station did not generate electricity. Now that the gas substitution has been successful, the generator sets can reproduce Put into operation.

After cleaning and refurbishment of the boiler machine and accompanying generator sets, they will be installed on two new small special-purpose power generation ships newly built by the shipyard.Used as a mobile power station - Compared with diesel generator sets, its biggest advantage is the convenience of fuel, which is very suitable for this time and space where there is no petroleum fuel except Lingao.
