Chapter 569
Ji Runzhi, Director of the Planning and Architecture Office of the Sanya Special Zone, placed a folding table in the shed next to the cornerstone, which is also the headquarters of the construction site, and laid architectural planning drawings on it.A gas lamp illuminated the dimly lit work shed.

Ji Yuan and Ji Shu were busy tidying up the shed, making the shed clean and tidy, which made Ji Runzhi feel very comfortable.It is good to have apprentices.Apart from not being able to satisfy his physical needs, these two apprentices served him meticulously, to the point where he immediately picked up a spit paper when he coughed.

Ji Runzhi is not the kind of person who likes to hide and hide. His apprentices please him so much, so he teaches with great care—even though he is not interested in education. .

Under his education, the two apprentices have now mastered simple topographic surveying and mapping, and learned simple cartography. Ji Runzhi plans to concentrate on teaching them more professional content after the project developed in Sanya settles down.In the future, the simple work will be handed over to them directly, and there is no need to do it by yourself.

"Okay, you guys go out first." Ji Runzhi heard someone standing at attention and saluted from a distance outside, and knew that the main military and political leaders in the Sanya area had come.They are going to review Tian Du's architectural plan here.

He walked out of the work shed, and sure enough, Meteor [-] was stopping on the platform braving white gas from the station, and the laborers climbed onto the wagon to unload the goods on it.A group of veterans were coming down from the platform, and the sentry on the platform was saluting with guns.

"Is your place good?" Xi Yaya was the first to get into his shed, and sat down on the bench, "It's much better cleaned up than my headquarters."

"It's all done by Jiyuan Jishu. The two children are doing a good job." Ji Runzhi greeted the two apprentices who were waiting outside, "Go and make a pot of tea."

"What kind of tea do you want to make?" Wang Luobin shook the tempered travel mug in his hand, "They are all prepared by themselves, just ask them to bring some boiling water."

Ji Shu brought two thermos bottles from the boiling water station—a high-end luxury that only veterans can enjoy. He poured water for everyone, turned on the switch of the gas light, and then retreated.

The shed was surrounded by laborers and vehicles, making it very noisy.However, it did not affect the meeting in the shed.None of the main military and political officials in the Sanya area cared about this. They all gathered around Ji Runzhi, carefully looking at the Tiandu planning family map he had just made, and listening to him explain the planning ideas.

This originally humid subtropical valley is now the future Tiandu Iron Mine will accommodate tens of thousands of miners and their families.Ji Runzhi not only had to make a layout plan for this emerging town, but also took into account the future development.

Tiandu's iron ore is of good quality, but its absolute reserves are limited.Judging from the huge demand for steel in the crossing industry, the mining of Tiandu will not last for more than one generation, so from the very beginning, it is necessary to plan how to develop after the nearby minerals are exhausted.

From the perspective of urban development, the coast of Sanya Bay is a more suitable place to develop into a large seaside city. Not only does it have enough coastline as a tourist resource, but the sea salt production potential here is also sufficient to support the development of a city.Moreover, the water of the Sanya River provides sufficient water for urban development.

In contrast, the development potential of Tiandu is limited. Firstly, the area here is limited, and secondly, once the mineral products are exhausted, the town will decline.Mining towns are generally seriously polluted. It is not easy to carry out industrial transformation, and a lot of environmental restoration work may be required. Therefore, Tiandu’s sustainable development is not strong, and as a city’s necessary resource-water reserves are not too large. It is quite difficult to transform into other industrial towns.

Therefore, in the development plan of Sanya, Ji Runzhi only planned Tiandu as a highly functional mining town, without setting up industrial and commercial areas.The town consists of only three parts: the administrative area of ​​the mining company, the living area of ​​the miners and the mining industrial area.The latter is just a mechanical workshop for mechanical repairs for mines, and also provides simple repair services for mechanical equipment in the entire Sanya area.

The water source of the city and the mining area will come from the small reservoir of the Tiandu River——according to the exploration of Bai Guoshi and others and the inquiry of hydrological data in old time and space, the water volume of the Tiandu River is the same as that of all rivers in Hainan, and the dry and rainy seasons vary greatly. The railway has been built, so there is no need to rely on the transportation of the Tiandu River, but the town itself has a large amount of domestic water and mine industrial water, and the crossing people are also planning to carry out some basic agricultural production near Tiandu. In general, there is no reservoir Can't adjust the water volume.It is used to generate electricity in the second place. The power generation of small hydropower is unbalanced and the amount of power generated is not enough. It can only be used to enrich the lives of the elders.

Tiandu's main energy comes from coal.The transport ships transported iron ore from Sanya and coal on the return journey.One part was directly used to drive the steam engine, and the other part was used to produce gas for lighting, cooking and fuel for small local industries.

"There are too few supporting facilities." Wang Luobin looked at his planning map, "The scale of the business district is too small." He continued to comment, "The miners will have wives and children in the future. Where will these people be placed? There must be surplus labor. Arranged...to plan the way you do, and this town is a typical bachelor's town."

"Exactly." Ji Runzhi explained his considerations again, "...it is meaningless to spend too much energy on this town, its development potential is limited, and Tiandu's ore reserves are not too large .So it is enough for Tian Du to last for 30 to [-] years.”

"If this is the case, there will be no women and children in Tiandu Town in the future."

Ji Runzhi nodded: "In my opinion, this is the best type of labor camp, similar to Jiazi Coal Mine. The miners, administrative staff and technical staff all adopt a contract rotation system, and they go to work alone. They will go home after working here for three or four years. Food Canteens are used to solve the problem, individuals do not open a team, logistics management is socialized, food, lodging and commuting are all packaged by the Mining Bureau, living service facilities are reduced to a minimum, and at most a few small restaurants, small hotels and other facilities are adjusted and adjusted, and then reorganized A stadium and a brothel for the miners to let off steam when they have nothing to do."

He went on to say: "There is also a city of Sanya here, where the miners can also go to Sanya for recreation when they are resting. This can also stimulate the local tertiary industry. Anyway, if there is a train, it is very convenient to travel between the two places."

As for the role of Tian Du in the future, Ji Runzhi believes that after the ore mining is completed, it can be used as a military garrison and a land fortress surrounding Yulingang.

"Is it inhumane to force a miner to be a bachelor for a few years?" Zhuo Tianmin was worried about this.

"I said this is too militarized management." Although Qian Shuixie adhered to the purpose of keeping his mouth as little as possible, he was disgusted with the social instinct of this kind of militarized management.

"This can maximize intensive management and reduce social costs." Ji Runzhi explained, "If they are allowed to bring their families, we have to arrange employment for them. If they are not employed, it will be a waste of labor. With family members, they You must have a meal by yourself. There is no minimum commercial distribution and supply of agricultural and sideline products here than in Lingao. There is nothing here."

The biggest advantage of militarized management is that it is convenient and uniform: food, clothing, tools... In the end, even women are uniformly rationed.For material supply, the process is greatly simplified.

"No, I don't think that's good. One, the miners don't feel like they belong here without families. People come and go, they can't stay. It's just a labor camp all the time—it takes us a lot of money to develop a town Manpower and material resources cannot be as extravagant as Americans and Russians. When the resources are gone, the city will be thrown away and moved. Second, women themselves are also a kind of labor resource, and it is not a burden for us to arrange them for employment. For example, in the Sanya development plan The timber processing factory, copra processing factory and food factory...all of these require a lot of manpower. There is no reason to force miners to use prostitutes to solve their physical problems, and at the same time introduce labor from outside." Wang Luobin said, "The last point: our best What is needed is the population, especially children. This forced celibacy wastes a large number of people of childbearing age. It is not good for expanding the population, especially for the new generation.”

In recent years, children born in the areas controlled by the Traversing Group can be educated completely according to the wishes of the traversers, and after 20 years, they will grow into the backbone of the indigenous people who traversed the country.

"Well, I also think that our top priority is to expand the population of Sanya. Only in this way can we form a stable basis for rule." He Fanghui agreed, "To put it bluntly, there are no women and children here, and the miners have to work hard to defend it. I'm afraid it will be difficult in the mine."

In the end, it was decided that the miners’ living quarters should be appropriately expanded, and the miners’ residences were no longer pure collective dormitories: a part of the housing was built outside the collective dormitory building to accommodate family units.The supporting facilities in the living area have also increased accordingly, adding a primary school and a kindergarten.In addition to the commercial premises of the cooperative, a part of the commercial premises is also reserved for future use by new merchants to set up shops.

As for the strict defense system originally planned and designed by Ji Runzhi, Xi Yazhou felt that it was unnecessary.

The defense system designed by Ji Runzhi is basically the same as the defense system in Sanya, ditches and earth barriers.However, Xi Yazhou believes that Tiandu’s defensive pressure is much less than that of Yulingang. Going inland from Tiandu is the Li District. It is very disadvantageous to fight.And judging from Hu Xun's confession, the Li people had occasional harassment, but very few large-scale acts of violence.

"If you want to fight, our thousands of miners' militia who have received military training and are equipped with standard spears and hard hats are enough to advance to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain."

"This is already the most simplified version of the defense facility, how can it be simplified?" Ji Runzhi said unhappily seeing his plans being denied one after another.

"Use the village model adopted by the German colonists when they moved eastward." Wang Luobin said, "Use the house itself as a fortification."

The specific method is to surround individual houses into square or circular groups. The doors and windows of each household are opened to the central open space, and no windows are opened on the walls facing the outside.Houses are connected with logs or masonry walls.Only one fortified solid gate is reserved for entry and exit.

"This is too crude." Ji Runzhi felt incredible, and he had seen this kind of practice before - when building a closed community, he directly closed the apartment buildings in the outermost circle of the community with brick walls.

This approach is not bad against small thieves, but against armed enemies?Ji Runzhi felt completely unreliable.

"The German immigrants used this method to resist the Slavs, and expanded the German land from Swabia to the Oder River, and went deep into East Prussia. You must know that their houses and walls are still made of wood. What we have to face The Li people don’t even have the level of armed forces of the Slavs—at least the Slavs had iron weapons at the time.”

"In addition to the Li people, we should also consider the Ming army or pirates."

"If they have the ability to cross the mountains and pass through the Li district, then they are not the Ming army or pirates." Xi Yazhou said with confidence, "Even if they have the ability and perseverance, it will take three to 10 minutes to send reinforcements from Yulinbao by train. Thousands of armed miners can resist for 10 minutes, right?"

"Actually, it depends on your planning and architectural design," He Fanghui interjected, "most of the houses are brick and tile buildings with more than two floors. The second floor is five or six meters high, right? The Lingao city wall is nothing more than that. Except for one Except that the building does not open windows to the outside, it can still be opened above the second floor, at most adding iron shutters."

In the end, it was decided to group all the houses, and then add a few gun towers in key locations as the core of defense.Several basic militiamen are stationed in each artillery tower.The office buildings in the administrative district are fortified in the form of the public offices in Sanya City.Finally, a trench was dug around the entire Tiandu Town as a basic defense.

Xi Asia presented the concept of using armored patrol vehicles on security issues at the meeting.It is suggested to apply to Lingao for the construction of several flat-bed railcars equipped with nested steam engines or better single-cylinder diesel engines. Carry out regular patrols on the railway tracks, and when encountering an enemy attack, they can rush to any place along the line as quickly as possible, and strike the enemy with intensive firepower.

"As far as the technical level and fighting will of the enemies in this time and space are concerned, I don't think there will be any enemies in South China who can persist in attacking under the strafing of typewriters." Xi Yazhou is very confident.

In addition to serving as mobile reinforcements at any time, armored patrol vehicles are mainly used for routine security along the railway.Xi Yazhou was not afraid that the enemy would want to do this, but worried that so many railroad tracks would arouse the prying eyes of the local people and lead to a large-scale trend of stealing railroad tracks.
