Chapter 114 Overseas Inspection (1)

After sailing out of the Port of Victory, the two ships did not rush on their way. Instead, they handed over the ships to a group of new sailors, and a few veterans were only responsible for directing their actions. This was also done to allow the new sailors to be more familiar with the situation.

Quickly adapt to the life of a long voyage. After all, the training a few days ago was just in front of home. I trained for a few hours every day before going ashore. However, this trip may require me to stay on the ship for several days. The feeling is completely different from the training.

Two different things. Fortunately, these team members selected by the executive committee are all in good physical condition, and no one has been found to suffer from severe seasickness so far.

Because the water area from Victory Port to Yazhou has been traveled many times, the expedition team did not choose to sail close to the coastline this time. Instead, they went directly to the open sea route after bypassing Luhuitoujiao.

It sails past the southern ends of the East and West Islands in Sanya Bay and goes straight to Nanshanjiao.

The fleet made a short stop at the mouth of the Ningyuan River near Yazhou to complete another small task of their trip - bringing a small hot water boiler and a bundle of pipe parts processed by the Ministry of Industry to the Yazhou Office. Get notified in advance

The Cliff Office asked Zhang Guang to hire an ox cart to wait here. However, since there was no lifting equipment on the "Speed", everyone could only unload the huge boiler to the dock by building a springboard. More than a dozen men continued

After nearly half an hour of carrying and moving, I was able to move this big guy, which weighed nearly 300 kilograms, onto the bullock cart.

After leaving the mouth of the Ningyuan River, we set off again. Because the route to the west began to become unfamiliar, the veteran crew took over the driving work and chose a relatively stable offshore route. They recorded the coastal conditions against the map while traveling. At this time, they were crossing many

The black technology came in handy. Someone took photos of the coast directly, and then arranged them in the order of the route, and marked some of the more important geographical identification locations. This way, the next batch of crew members will run this route.

When the time comes, there will be a very clear reference instead of just boring text route records.

About two hours later, the fleet arrived at Yinggezui, the southwest corner of Hainan Island. Later, the largest salt field in southern China, the Yinggehai Salt Field, was located here. The area facing the sea is an area of ​​tens of square kilometers.

Alluvial plain, and in later generations, most of this plain was used to build salt works. In the 1980s, the annual output of sea salt here had reached 270,000 tons, which was simply a small amount in the 17th century.

An astronomical number.

The Yinggehai area has always been an important area in the development plan of the Executive Committee. The construction area of ​​the salt field here is very large, at least ten times that of the Shengli Port Waihai Salt Field Commune. As long as this area is fully developed, the future of the Cross Group will be

The chemical production raw materials are basically fully guaranteed. However, the executive committee is currently suffering from manpower bottlenecks and has no time to carry out large-scale development here. At present, it can only do some preliminary survey and preparation work.

Based on the information at hand, the expedition team knew that there was a very large bay hidden behind the narrow inlet. Considering that the water depth in the coastal beach area here was very limited, the fleet docked on the coast and lowered the rubber kayak from the ship.

, entered the bay area for inspection through the narrow entrance to the sea. Since this is an unfamiliar area that has never been visited before, for safety reasons, only four fully armed North American gang members were carried on the assault boat.

After the assault boat sailed into the bay, Wang Tom was in charge of driving the boat, Roger was in charge of guarding, Morgan used photography equipment to record the topography and landforms, and chemical expert Qiao Zhiya collected water samples at different locations and used simple detection methods to

Determine the salt content of the sea water here. At this time, this place had not been developed as a salt farm for production, and there was no human habitation on the entire coastal beach. In fact, even in later generations, there were only 10,000 residents of Yinggehai Town here.

The population density is far less than that of other coastal areas.

The other members of the expedition team stationed on the coast were not idle either. Following the instructions of a few veterans, they took out a few fishing rods and stood on the side of the ship and started fishing. In later generations, this was one of the famous fishing grounds in the South China Sea.

First, various fishery resources are very rich, and in this still primitive ecological environment, the fish schools in the offshore are also very dense, and it often only takes a minute or two for a fishing rod to react when it is thrown into the sea. Wait until the little ones who go to the bay to investigate

When the team came back, everyone had caught seventy or eighty sea fish, large and small.

So the expedition team once again held a barbecue party at the beach in accordance with the tradition of old sailors. Some team members just joined the main force today. Now everyone is gathered together and introduced to each other again.

As always, the military and police department accounted for the majority of this inspection team. Ten of the seventeen people in the team were affiliated with the military and police department, including six people from the North American Gang. Three of the remaining seven people were members of the military and police department.

They are members of the mining exploration team under the Ministry of Industry. They will complete the preliminary exploration task of Hongji Coal Mine. In addition, two people from the Shipping Department will accompany them. They are mainly responsible for compiling and producing route maps and writing logbooks. They will also be responsible for part of the hydrological and sea state exploration.

Task. One of the remaining two people is Qiao Zhiya’s colleague from the Ministry of Chemical Industry, and the other is sent by the Ministry of Agriculture. The content of his inspection is the rice planting situation in Vietnam.

In view of the relatively high risk of this inspection mission, the executive committee did not arrange any more female members to join this team. However, this group of guys who rarely have a chance to have a break obviously don't care about it. Most of the people in the team are

It was the first time to leave Port Victory after the journey, and the destination was a very famous scenic spot in later generations. This was definitely a rare and good trip.

Tian Yeyou of the mining exploration team is short and has dark skin. If you just look at his appearance, it is almost difficult to distinguish him from the mountain people of the Li and Miao ethnic groups. Before crossing over, he worked for the North China Geological Survey Bureau for several years.

They are all engaged in field mining survey work, and they can be regarded as technical experts with professional backgrounds in the Cross-Training Group. While chewing the grilled fish, Tian Yeyou muttered: "These guys in the executive committee finally have some humanity, look at us in the mountains

It's not easy to stay here for a month or two, and you still have to arrange for us to travel at public expense."

Tom Wang asked curiously: "Have you stayed for so long? Aren't there just one or two mineral spots in the interior?"

Tian Yeyou said angrily: "It's not so easy to find one or two mineral spots. We have been in the mountains since April. We only came out of Lidong after receiving the transfer order last week. We have been prospecting in Damao.

Damao's phosphate ore and manganese ore are not as shallowly buried as Tiandu's iron ore. They can be dug out with just a few hoe. We also have to guide the Li miners to set up tunnels and teach them how to dig veins underground without risking their lives.

Buried alive. Feng Dian has been sleeping in the wild for thirty or forty days. Look at the skin color of us. We can just change our clothes and go directly to Li Dong to pretend to be Li people!"

Qiao Zhiya smiled and comforted: "But it shouldn't be too tiring to go to Hongji Port this time. I read the information that the mineral veins there are very shallow, and many places are even open-air. You just need to go directly to collect samples.

"

Tian Yeyou shook his head and said: "General coal is easy to find, but anthracite and coking coal still require some effort. Especially coking coal only accounts for 10%-15% of coalfield reserves, so it might be hard to find again."

"It's better to prospect for minerals in a beautiful coastal area than to live in a deep mountain forest, right?" Wang Tom joked with a smile.

Tian Yeyou nodded and said: "Everyone says that Halong Bay has beautiful scenery. I wanted to take my girlfriend to see it before I crossed over, but unfortunately I was never able to make the trip."

"Did your girlfriend participate in time travel with you?" Qiao Zhiya asked curiously.

Tian Yeyou's face darkened, he shook his head and said: "We've broken up. The main reason is that I spend at least two-thirds of the year running around in the wild. How can I have a good relationship? Let alone get married. Once

After I saw the news about Mr. Tao and his gang's organization on the Internet, I simply resigned from my job, left all my savings from working over the past few years to my parents, and then ran to Guangzhou to join the gang."

Qiao Zhiya sighed and said, "This is really a sad story."

"What's even more sad is that after time travel, there is no change at all from before time travel. It's the same wilderness, the same loneliness." Tian Yeyou's face did not show sadness, only deep helplessness: "I originally thought about time travel.

Can I change my job later, be a landlord or something, bully the long-term workers, tease the maids, and experience the life of a playboy? I didn't expect that I would still be in the same job as before. I would spend dozens of days in the mountains

, basically just dealing with rocks and mud.”

"Don't be so depressed, things will get better gradually. I think within two or three years at most, those of you who are engaged in technical work will be promoted. The future Haihan Republic will not only need politicians, but also a large number of technical officials."

Only then can we sustain it." Wang Tom had a clearer view of the future situation, and he calmly said: "I estimate that when Hongji and Shilu are developed, your main mission will change.

When the time comes, we will definitely set up relevant technical schools and invite you technicians to be teachers, so that you won’t have to go around so much."

Tian Yeyou smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if we are used to running around outside, people like us will feel unbearable if they are asked to sit in the office. I have already figured it out, and I will take a look during this inspection.

How is the living environment there? If the environment is good, just come back and apply to the executive committee for permanent residence. Anyway, there will definitely be a need for knowledgeable people to supervise the mining process."

"Standing overseas? You have to think carefully about this!" Wang Tom shook his head and said: "No matter how good the environment is in that place, life is definitely not as convenient as the base camp."

"That's not necessarily the case. Besides, Vietnamese brides are so famous. I also want to see the benefits of Vietnamese girls." Speaking of women, Tian Yeyou couldn't help but open his mouth and laugh out loud, revealing two rows of white teeth.
