Lingao's water resources are scarce in the long run and are not suitable as a major agricultural base in the future. Changhua has less arable land, but fresh water, forests, and industrial and mining resources are much richer than Lingao's. [Full text reading] Only the runoff of the Changhua River is there, but that of the entire Lingao County. The exploitable water energy resources are 40,000 kilowatts, 30 times more than Lingao, not to mention the local iron ore and copper mines. Cement and rock resources alone have great industrial potential.
"What? Do you want to repair water conservancy?" Fang Jinghan greeted Yan Quezhi.
"It's you," Yanquezhi looked very busy. "Now, wherever resources are capable of development in Changhua, they have to be transferred to Taiwan. To engage in industry, you still need a population. Resources and technology alone are not enough.
"Then why did the Planning Institute hurriedly transfer you here?" Fang Jinghan asked curiously.
"The first is to train students," Yanquezhi pointed to a few young students around him who were manipulating the Lingaoyi equipment. "The second is to see if we can use the water transportation capacity of the Changhua River to ship. It is impossible. It's probably okay to put it in a row or something, the forest resources here are very rich. Besides, we have to consider the future transportation of ore."
Although the shipping value of Changhua River is very low, its water volume and water energy are much larger than that of Wenlan River in Lingao. According to data from the 20th century: the annual runoff of water resources in the Changhua River alone is cubic meters, while the runoff in Lingao County is only 700 million. The developable water energy resources are 40,000 kilowatts, 30 times more than Lingao, which is very superior from the perspective of developing hydropower. Unfortunately, there is no development capability in the short term.
"Having said that, water resources are also very important to us. Changhua is rich in mineral resources and can be turned into an industrial and mining base in the future, which requires a lot of water resources."
The task of the team led by Yanquezhi 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 county's arable land is only 340,000 acres, and its soil fertility is even worse. Except for its certain advantages in water and heat resources, it is not as good as Qiongbei County in Lingao and other places.
"Can you send someone to take us to Shilu in a few days?" Yan Quezhi suddenly asked.
"I can take you there." Fang Jinghan said, "But why are you going to Shilu? The last geological survey should have been very thorough."
"It's still for exploring the terrain."
Another task of Yanquezhi is to take students to Shilu to explore the terrain between Shilu and Changhua Fort to see if it is possible to build simple roads or railways.
The purpose is not to mine local iron ore. With their current industrial capacity and steel production level, it is simply 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 a road is because it took a fancy to Shi Lu. of dolomite mines.
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 steel production process, tens of kilograms of dolomite are consumed for each ton of pig iron produced. After the Ma Niao Iron and Steel Complex is put into operation, approximately hundreds of tons of dolomite will be needed every year.
There is a dolomite mine with a reserve of 12 tons and a grade of 192ul 1 km south of Shilu Town in the old time and space. It cannot be fully developed, but a small amount of mining can be done to supply Ma Niao steel bodies for production. Assessments from the Planning Institute and the Industrial Department believe that based on the data, the dolomite mine in Shilu is not deeply buried and can be mined by hand and simple machinery. If the demand is not large, it can be mined intermittently.
Mining dolomite mines will involve transportation problems, so Wu De considered building a simple road locally. Even if he did not make basic considerations for the future development of Shilu Iron Mine, he would mine a small amount of copper, gold, etc. associated with Shilu Local Areas. Non-ferrous metal ores are also in demand. Building roads also helped extend the reach of rule deeper 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 Morning Star flag must fly over Yayu Ridge every day!" to ensure the presence of the local political power.
According to the information provided by the people, almost every year some foreign Han people hire people to act as guides and porters and venture into the Li area, deep into Shilu, trying to mine local copper mines or, with better luck, gold. Although not many of them are successful, few are able to find the vein correctly. However, random mining and excavation everywhere and smelting in small earth kilns have seriously damaged local resources, especially disrupting the exploration team's exploration. The Planning Institute cannot tolerate this. Since Li Haiping's time, people have been caught going to Yayuling to steal copper mines: there is an endless stream every year. Therefore, cracking down on mining theft is also one of Kong Lingyang's tasks.
With roads, outposts posted, and patrols on the roads, control over the areas along the routes was established.
"You don't have to go in person, just send a few people to lead the way. Didn't you recruit a lot of people's soldiers?" Yan Quezhi said, "It takes several days to go there. You all have work, so it's not good to be delayed.
"If Zhen Huan and the others hadn't just joined the army, it would have been better to send them to Shi Lu directly. They are natives of this hometown. They are good at climbing mountains and ridges and drilling in the woods. No one can hide from them." Mu Min said.
"Even if he has served for ten years now, he still has no chance," Fang Jinghan shook his head. "Local people should not serve as soldiers locally. This is the basic principle of forming an army."
The Senate is not willing to form local security forces such as the National Army from all locals, let alone the combat forces that Zhenhuan participates in.
The recruitment of Zhen Huan into the army was met with a backlash from Wei Aiwen in the afternoon: It was not that he thought the recruits were not of good quality, but in his opinion it was a serious violation of his position as the director of the General Political Department. He often forgot that his department was the General Political Department. authority.
Mu Min retorted that as a member of the recruitment team, she also had the right to decide who to recruit and who not to recruit. The mission letter did not clearly indicate which department or a certain veteran was specifically responsible. Theoretically speaking, Mu Min does not need to ask Wei Aiwen for instructions to decide certain things.
The dispute between the two continued until Kong Lingyang appeared again. He cheerfully invited several elders to visit the kennel and "guide the work of raising dogs."
Mu Min has little interest in dogs, but Wei Aiwen is very interested. 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 sentries.
Kong Lingyang had cooperated with the army in college before and knew that the warning range of a well-trained military dog is basically the same as that of five soldiers. Well-trained military dogs are good helpers in mainland China's anti-rebellion operations, hunting down broken soldiers, guarding equipment, and deterring mobs.
The newly built kennel is located in a fence outside Changhua Fort, where breeding dogs transferred from Lingao are kept.
Kong Lingyang knew very little about dog training. Yang Guogui has always been in charge of this aspect of the business, but the rapid expansion of the dog population in the Nanhai Farm requires that military dog breeding and raising must be moved to another place, and they can no longer stay in Lingao where land resources are beginning to be tight. So the dog farm in Lingao was split into two parts. The training of working dogs stayed in Lingao, while the dog breeding was moved to Changhua. Yang Guoguo 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. Yang Baogui selectively brought them to serve as breeding dogs for working dogs. Later, several dogs brought by other senators were added, including the Labrador retriever owned by the Qian brothers, which was also captured from Sanya and used as a breeding dog.
In order to quickly expand the population, Yang Guogui and Kong Lingyang adopted the method of separating puppies from older dogs immediately after weaning and changing them to artificial breeding to strive for the older dogs to give birth to a wave of dogs as soon as possible. As a result, the population expanded rapidly.
Among the native dogs in this time and space, Yang Guogui also selected some dogs with better genes for cross-breeding. Through continuous breeding and gradual elimination, a considerable dog population was finally formed. Although there are only a dozen or so dogs that can be used as ancestral thoroughbreds, there are already more than a hundred dogs of the right age that meet the requirements for working dogs.
Although the quality of the first few batches of dogs was average, they were indeed in their golden age for training. When they got older, they were not suitable for training and could only be given to the Senate for hot pot. And Yang Baogui is too busy alone. He adopted a simplified training model to break down the work, reduce the number of training items for each dog, and reduce the workload. Working dogs are quickly distributed to various departments by sending out a batch after training.
Some of the dogs have undergone simple training by Yang Guigui and have been allocated to the military, police and internal affairs departments. Soldiers and police patrolling "with big dogs on lead" have become a sight in every county. In the mines of Sanya, military dogs monitor thousands of slave laborers in the mines.
But although dogs have gained the favor of violent departments, they have also encountered institutional problems. Dogs and horses are different from meat livestock such as pigs, chickens and ducks that are fattened and then slaughtered. Instead, they are used for a long time. Once they are incorporated into the army or a certain agency, there are issues related to their supply and specialized breeders, which is relatively good. Each department can solve the problem of supplying horses and dogs by itself, but it is not easy to solve the problem of human organization.
Yang Guogui was assigned to the Committee of Agriculture, and dog training was not its main occupation. He could not select a number of people from the workers allocated by the Committee of Agriculture to learn his dog training skills. These establishments must be implemented in the army.
Kong Lingyang invited Wei Aiwen to visit in order to persuade Director Wei and other military leaders to organize a military dog team as soon as possible and allocate some people to learn how to raise and train dogs. In particular, Yang Baobao had to find a few apprentices to inherit his dog training mantle: this was something he repeatedly told Kong Lingyang to help solve.
