It stands to reason that Qi Feng is completely uninterested in places like coal mines - Qi likes traditional classicism and is not very interested in painting the beauty of working class labor or the grandeur of industrialization. Yuanying, who wants to go to the coal mine, can't find suitable materials for a Mediterranean-style area currently being built. According to Qi Yuanlao's idea, this house is a whole. The walls should be whitewashed. This is easy to say. It should have a gravel foundation and walls. This is also easy to say. The doors and windows should be cleverly matched with blue and yellow. This is even better.
Only the rosy red tiles he dreamed of could not be found anywhere in Lingao. The red color made by Lingao firing was always not quite right. It was completely different from the color in his memory. It always looked gray. He went to brick kilns and ceramics factories to find people to try firing several times, but he couldn't get the color he wanted. Without bright red tiles, how could they be so eye-catching under the blue sky and green trees on the edge of the blue sea? But it is impossible to import things like tiles.
After scratching his head for a long time, Qi Feng went to the Central Laboratory of Heavy Industry—this laboratory is a large laboratory designed to provide various chemical analyzes for the production of enterprises in the heavy industry system—and asked them to analyze various raw materials for firing bricks and tiles. Element. After laboratory analysis, it was concluded that the Lingao area is a marine sedimentary formation. There is no high-iron quartz clay he wants. The rich calcium and magnesium ions in the clay layer will paint all the sintering products with a layer of white. grey. Make the red brick less attractive. However, similar clay coal mines can be found in Jiazi.
With the efforts of Tang Menglong of Jiazi Mining Bureau, the original Jiazi mining area was deeply exploited. to find more lignite suitable for coking. Hainan's lignite is generally low-quality coal: high ash content, high gangue, and low calorific value. Changchang Coal Mine has a theoretical burial capacity of 67.21 million tons, but only more than 90,000 tons of real lignite. The remaining 85% is called low calorific value fuel, which is coal with a lot of gangue and gangue with a lot of coal.
It was originally done to save transportation capacity. A coal washing plant was built in Jiazi Mine, and a large amount of coal gangue left over from the washing was accumulated in the mining area. Over a long period of time, several small hills have accumulated.
The accumulation of these things has become a big trouble, takes up space, is prone to spontaneous combustion, and pollutes water sources. Mr. Tang went to the Planning Institute several times to explain the pros and cons and to promote comprehensive utilization. In the end, the Planning Institute approved him to build a brick factory locally. The two mining areas of Changchang and Changpo where Jiazi Coal Mine is located contain large amounts of mining clay. There are grades one, two and three, plus a large amount of coal gangue, which can be used as fuel and raw materials. When comprehensively utilized, everything from ordinary bricks and pottery to high-performance refractory bricks and high-temperature crucibles can be fired.
Although there is a huge demand for bricks and tiles in high-altitude construction. But it is limited by transportation capacity issues. The quantity of bricks and tiles shipped from Jiazi Coal Mine to Lingao is not large. Except for some refractory bricks and special-shaped refractory ceramics for the industrial entrance, they are mainly supplied to Qiongshan and Wenchang. Liu Xiang presided over the construction of farmland water conservancy in Qiongshan. became a major consumer.
Mr. Tang also burned many large and small utensils and handicrafts and sent them to Lingao. Promote to construction, industry and foreign trade sectors. There are many Tang flower pots in the big library. Qi Yuanlao asked the indigenous staff to come over, wash it with water and take a look... OK, that's it.
So the order was placed, the drawings were brought, the goods were made, and they were waiting for the ship. However, the ships returning from the Jiazi Coal Mine were all loaded with coal, and there was also a small amount of tonnage loaded with grade gangue used to burn cement. The remaining bit must be installed with Class I refractory clay and refractory bricks. If it is planned to be Qi Yuanlao's Class III clay products. At least we have to wait until the second half of the year.
So Qi Feng shyly expressed his needs to the female pirate. In the end, he stared innocently at the female pirate's pupils with his big eyes. It doesn't matter if he is cute. The female pirate will use her hands and feet now. As for the feet, the beauty man's words mean that he will rush forward with swords and fire. Qi Feng kept explaining that he didn't have much money and the budget was too high to pay the freight b1ub1ub1u. Li Huamei just kept expressing her loyalty: "Oh, I also want to visit Qiongshan Mansion. ...The little girl's subordinates still need training...they don't know how to sail in shallow seas, they need to practice...Thanks to Qi...Qi Chang thinks highly of it..." He just had to sing "Shi Niang, I have a treasure chest." She never thought that her Hangzhou number would not be able to enter the Nandu River. But in fact, it is just to move some tiles. If you have a bunch of yellow and white-haired ghost guys who are as strong as donkeys in your hands, the most likely thing is to use a boat to move them a few more times. Of course, this is a story later.
But then Qi Feng mentioned the word "Navy", and she suddenly thought that she still had a task tomorrow - she had to go to Kaohsiung to transport goods.
Now Li Huamei couldn't help but feel extremely reluctant. If she had had her past temper, she would have pushed the matter back a long time ago. However, thinking of her undercover responsibility and her sister's whereabouts, she eagerly wanted to help Qi Feng. It suddenly became cold.
"No, um, sir... No, sir, it's okay to send you there. But I will go to Kaohsiung later, how about... sir, you wait for my ship back in Qiongshan..."
"Oh, you're going to Kaohsiung, so that's no trouble. I mainly want to bring back more bricks and tiles. It's a pity." Qi Feng said with a little regret while rubbing his hands.
"Ah, I will take you there as soon as I come back from Kaohsiung..."
I don’t know what was said after that. Due to the accidental encounter, Li Huamei didn’t change the gold coins, so he had to come back and talk. Along the way, I was still scolding myself for being hopeless and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
A single-masted patrol boat was sailing under full sail in the outer waters of Lingdingyang near Hong Kong.
Although this kind of light dhow is not large in tonnage, it is fast and has a flexible course. With a cannon on the deck that can fire far and fiercely, and two typewriters, it can walk sideways along the coast of the South China Sea. What's more, the ship is still flying the Morning Star flag - the flag of the current overlord of the South China Sea.
Zhao Zhulong - his official name is Zhulong - is standing behind the bridge, searching the sea with a telescope. His ship belongs to the coast guard stationed in Hong Kong, and is responsible for conducting round-the-clock patrols in the waters surrounding Hong Kong, suppressing all piracy, and protecting the safety of shipping routes and fishery production.
This task is very boring. It basically involves patrolling along a certain route and investigating suspicious ships encountered - especially those ships that do not fly the Senate's sailing permission flag and fishing flag. But for Zhao Zhulong, such a voyage is still easy. He has some problems with his legs and feet and cannot withstand years of sailing, so a job where he can go to sea during the day and sleep peacefully at night is very suitable for him.
Zhao Zhulong likes others to call him Zhao Da. "Brother" is fine, "Master" is the best, "Bo" is okay, and "Uncle" is also reluctant. He especially doesn't like others calling him by his first name.
This bad name was given to him by his father. Zhao Zhulong's father said: "The water in the pig cage is full of gold. If we fishermen don't get water, where will we go?"
Zhao Zhurong's father was Zhao Jinhai. He died when Zhao Zhurong was fifteen years old. In an unexpected storm, not even the man or the ship came back.
Zhao Zhulong's mother kept saying that his father's name was wrong, Jinhai Jinhai, that means entering the sea. Once he entered the sea, there was no way he could come out.
Zhao Zhulong lost his father at the age of fifteen, went to sea with his second uncle at the age of sixteen, and joined Jin Daxiong's gang at the age of eighteen. A year later, Jin Daxiong was shot and killed on the spot while robbing a Fujian ship. His gang also dispersed. Zhao Zhulong joined Zhu Cai Lao's gang together with several good brothers.
After more than ten years on the sea, going through life and death, I finally managed to have my own boat, and I had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cai Lao was defeated in the battle and the whole gang collapsed. Zhao Zhurong followed his leader Shi Shishi and defected to the Australians in Lingao.
Like the elders, Zhao Zhulong also had his head cut, changed his clothes, and entered the study class. After half a year of "political study," he actually passed the C diploma. His former boss teased him: "Zhao Zhulong, I don't see, you are still a student!"
Zhao Zhurong just smiled and said nothing. He had been wandering at sea for many years. One of his legs suffered from rheumatism and he was a little lame. The purpose of studying is to stay on the shore. Hu Jiumei and Boss Hu just wash their feet and go ashore?
But he still couldn't get ashore. Seeing that his legs and feet were not good, the Australians did not let him join the navy, but put him on a cargo ship. Zhao Zhulong was also renamed Zhao Zhulong, and was assigned to a small boat to carry cargo, so he naturally became a second lieutenant in the navy reserve.
At first, I worked on the Linguang Line for two years. Later I joined Dabo Company as a captain and continued to run regular freight routes along the coast. Later, when Operation Motive began, the escort force needed to be expanded on a large scale. There were too few skilled sailors, and even qualified captains were not available for a while. Zhao Zhulong had been a captain and a combat veteran, so he was recalled to active service. Due to his leg and foot problems, he was not suitable for long-term military service. In order to take care of him, he was incorporated into the Coast Guard in Hong Kong, which had a relatively easy task.
Zhao Zhulong was a little uncomfortable with this kind of sail-mounted ship at first, but he could basically master it after a month of training. The principle of sailing by looking at the wind is still the same.
Today is his patrol shift as usual. Hong Kong had just experienced a typhoon a few days ago. At this time, the sea was calm and the waves were no more than 1 meter high. The patrol boat sailed briskly and smoothly, and you could almost feel the bumps of the waves.
Zhao Zhulong looked at the sea for a while and sat down again. His rheumatism in his legs was getting heavier and heavier. Although the general hospital had prescribed plaster several times and it could relieve the pain, it would not be a problem if it continued like this. Only when the idea comes to shore.
But once you get ashore, what should you do? He has been making a living at sea since he was a child. Although retired personnel due to injuries and illnesses are assigned jobs as usual, his income is not as good as before, and he does not have a wife yet...
While I was thinking about it, the lookout whistle shouted: "There is a suspicious ship on the left front!" To be continued...)
