Chapter 997
Lingao's water resources are in short supply in the long run, and it is not suitable as a major industrial and agricultural base in the future. Changhua has less arable land, but it has much more fresh water, forest and industrial and mining resources than Lingao.The runoff of Changhua River alone is 9 million, while that of Lingao County is only 7 million.The exploitable hydropower resources are 4 kilowatts, 30 times more than Lingao, not to mention the local iron ore and copper mines.Cement rock resources alone have great industrial potential.

"What? Do you want to build water conservancy?" Fang Jinghan and Yanquezhi greeted each other.

"It's you guys," Yan Quezhi looked very busy, "Now where can we develop in Changhua—the resources have to be transferred to Taiwan. You still need a population to do industry. Resources and technology alone are not enough at all. .”

"Then why did the Planning Institute transfer you here in such a hurry?" Fang Jinghan asked strangely.

"The first is to train students," Yan Quezhi pointed to a few young students around him who were manipulating Lingao's production equipment, "The second is to see if we can use the water transportation capacity of the Changhua River—shipping is impossible. Yes, it’s probably okay to put a row or something, and the forest resources here are very rich. Besides, we have to consider the future ore transportation.”

Although the shipping value of the Changhua River is very low, its water volume and water energy are much larger than the Wenlan River in Lingao.According to the data of the 20th century: the annual runoff of the Changhua River alone is 9 million cubic meters, while the runoff of Lingao County is only 7 million.The hydropower resources that can be developed are 4 kilowatts, 30 times more than Lingao, which is very superior from the perspective of hydropower development.It's a pity that there is no development capacity in the short term.

"Having said that, water resources are also very important to us. Changhua is rich in mineral resources, and it can be turned into an industrial and mining base in the future, which requires a lot of water resources."

The task led by Yan Quezhi is to find out how much water resources and water energy Changhua had in the 17th century, and what kind of help the Changhua River could provide for Hainan's industrialization.

Changhua's agricultural potential is not great. The arable land in the county is only 34 mu, and the soil fertility is even worse. Except for certain advantages in water and heat resources, it is not as good as Lingao and other Qiongbei counties.

"Can you send someone to take us to Shilu in a few days?" Yanquezhi suddenly asked.

"I can take you there." Fang Jinghan said, "But why are you going to Shilu? The last geological survey should have been done very thoroughly."

"It's still for terrain exploration."

Another task of Yanquezhi is to take the students to Shilu, explore the terrain between Shilu and Changhuabao, and see if it is possible to build a simple road or railway.

The purpose is not to mine local iron ore - with their current industrial capacity and steel production level, it is impossible to support such a large-scale project. The reason why the planning institute is eager to understand the transportation conditions and try to build roads Dolomite mines in Shilu.

Dolomite plays the role of flux in modern pig iron smelting, which can improve the quality of pig iron and reduce coal consumption.In the modern iron and steel production process, dozens of kilograms of dolomite are needed to produce one ton of pig iron. After the Mariao Iron and Steel Consortium is put into operation, the annual demand for dolomite is about several hundred tons.

There is a dolomite mine with a reserve of 1 billion tons and a grade of 12.5-19% 21 km south of Shilu Town in the old time and space. It cannot be fully developed, but a small amount of mining and supply of Mariao steel bodies for production can still be done.According to the evaluation of the Planning Institute and the industrial department, according to the data, the dolomite mine in Shilu is not buried deep and can be mined by hand and simple machinery. If the demand is not large, it can be mined intermittently.

After mining the dolomite mine, it will involve the issue of foreign transportation, so Wu De considered building a simple road in the local area, even if he did not consider the basic consideration for the future development of the Shilu Iron Mine, mining a small amount of copper and gold associated with the local Shilu And other non-ferrous metal ores are also in demand.Building roads also helped push the tentacles of rule deep into Changhua's interior.Develop and radiate surrounding areas.

The Planning Institute also asked Kong Lingyang to try to establish a permanent outpost in Shilu: "The Venus flag must fly over Yayuling every day!"—to ensure the presence of the local government.

According to the information provided by Li Min, almost every year, some foreign Han people hired Li Min as guides and porters to venture into Li District, go deep into Shilu, and try to mine the local copper mines—or better luck, gold.Although not many of them succeeded - very few were able to find the veins correctly.However, indiscriminate digging and smelting in small earthen kilns have seriously damaged local resources, especially disrupting the exploration of the exploration team.The Planning Institute cannot tolerate this.Since Li Haiping's time, people who went to Yayuling to steal copper mines have been caught: there is an endless stream every year.Therefore, cracking down on illegal mining is also one of Kong Lingyang's tasks.

With roads, outposts, and patrols on the roads, control over the areas along the lines is established.

"You don't have to go in person, just send a few civilians to lead the way. Didn't you recruit a lot of civilian soldiers?" Yan Quezhi said, "Going back and forth for several days, you all have jobs, so it's not good to delay."

"If it wasn't for Zhen Huan and the others who had just joined the army, it would be good to send them to Shi Lu directly. They are locals. They are good at climbing mountains and ridges and drilling forests. No one can hide from them." Mu Min said.

"Even if he has served for ten years, it doesn't matter." Fang Jinghan shook his head. "The locals don't serve in the local army. This is the basic principle of forming an army."

For local security forces like the National Army, the Senate is still unwilling to be formed entirely by locals, let alone the combat troops that Zhen Huan participated in.

The matter of recruiting Zhen Huan into the army was met with a backlash from Wei Aiwen in the afternoon: it was not that he thought these recruits were of poor quality, but in his opinion, this was a serious violation of him, the director of the General Political Department—he often forgot that his department was The Political Department of the General Staff - the authority.

Mu Min retorted that as a member of the recruiting team, she also had the right to decide who to recruit and who not to recruit, and the task book did not clearly specify which department or a certain veteran was responsible.Theoretically speaking, Mu Min doesn't need to ask Wei Aiwen for instructions to decide certain things.

The argument between the two lasted until Kong Lingyang reappeared, and he happily invited several elders to the kennel to "guidance on the work of raising dogs".

Mu Min has no interest in dogs, but Wei Aiwen is very interested in it—the Haitian reconnaissance team was ambushed by natives in Taiwan, and dogs played an important role.Now more and more internal security tasks also require dogs to replace part of the sentinels.

Kong Lingyang had cooperated with the army in college before, and he knew that the alert range of a well-trained military dog ​​was basically the same as that of five soldiers.Well-trained military dogs are good helpers for counter-insurgency and alert operations in the mainland, hunting down soldiers, guarding equipment, and deterring mobs.

The newly built kennel is located in a fence outside Changhua Fort, where the breeding dogs transferred from Lingao are raised.

Kong Lingyang knows little about dog training.Yang Baogui has always been in charge of this aspect of the business, but the rapid expansion of the dog population in Nanhai Farm has forced military dog ​​breeding and rearing to a different place, and they can no longer stay in Lingao where land resources are starting to become tense.As a result, the dog farm in Lingao was split into two parts. The training of working dogs remained in Lingao, while the breeding of dogs moved to Changhua.Yang Guigui planned to train his first batch of naturalized civilian students, and moved the training base to Changhua.

The breeding dogs mainly come from the Olympic family brought by Yang Baogui. At the beginning, Yang Baogui selectively brought them as breeding dogs for working dogs.Later, several other dogs brought by the elders were added, including the Labrador of the Qian family brothers, which was also captured from Sanya as a breeding dog.

In order to rapidly expand the population, Yang Baogui and Kong Lingyang adopted the method of separating the puppies from the big dogs immediately after weaning, and changing them to artificial breeding so that the big dogs could give birth to a wave of dogs as soon as possible.Therefore, the population expands rapidly.

Among the local dogs in this time and space, Yang Baogui also selected some dogs with better genes for crossbreeding.Through continuous breeding and gradual elimination, a considerable dog group was finally formed.Although there are only a dozen dogs that can be used as ancestral breeds, there are already more than 100 dogs of the right age that meet the conditions for working dogs.

Although the quality of the first batch of dogs was mediocre, they were indeed at the golden age for training. If they grew older, they would not be suitable for training and could only be sent to the Senate for hot pot.And Yang Baogui was too busy alone.He adopted a simplified training model, subdivided the work, reduced the training items for each dog, and reduced the workload.The working dogs are quickly distributed to various departments by sending out a batch after training.

Some dogs have been allocated to the army, police and internal affairs departments after simple training by Yang Baogui. Soldiers and police patrolling "on a leash" have become a sight in counties.And in the mines in Sanya, military dogs monitor thousands of slave laborers in the mines.

But although the dog has won the favor of the violent department, it also encountered system problems.Dogs and horses are different from meat animals such as pigs, chickens and ducks that are fattened and slaughtered, but are used for a long time.Once incorporated into the army or a certain organization, it involves their supply and special breeders-this is relatively good.The supply of horses and dogs can be solved by the various departments themselves, but it is not easy to solve the problem of manpower.

Yang Baogui's establishment is in the Council of Agriculture, and dog training is not the Council's main business, so he can't select a certain number of workers from the Council of Agriculture to learn his dog training skills.These establishments have to be implemented in the army.

Kong Lingyang invited Wei Aiwen to visit, in order to persuade Director Wei and other military leaders to sort out a military dog ​​team as soon as possible, and allocate some people to learn how to raise and train dogs.In particular, Yang Baogui had to find a few apprentices to inherit his dog-training mantle: this was something he had repeatedly told Kong Lingyang to help solve.
