Chapter 201 Tight production capacity

In addition to these defensive renovation measures, Schneider also plans to renovate the bathroom facilities in the Guangdong Office, which was also suggested by He Xi.

When the Cliff Office was established, it struggled with the bathing problem for many days. Later, the problem was solved after installing a small hot water boiler. And after the benefits of this boiler were publicized intentionally or unintentionally, several large households have already asked for help.

The Guangdong Office placed an order for this convenient small boiler. Although there is no inconvenience caused by women for the time being, the Guangdong Office will definitely increase its membership slowly in the future. It is more convenient to install this hot water boiler early.

In addition, Schneider also hopes to use the sanitary ware produced by the base camp as soon as possible. Hainan itself is rich in purple clay, kaolin and clay resources, and the exploration team also discovered clay mines in the Tiandu area early. In the industrial zone

After the brick and tile kiln was completed and put into operation, the trial production of ceramics was also included in the production project.

Currently, there are a few craftsmen recruited by Chuanchuan Group who have fired ceramics, but their technical level is average. They can only make ordinary dishes and cups. It is still far from making high-end works of art that can be exported to the West.

We were far from qualified. At the beginning, we just made some coarse porcelain bowls for the logistics department. But soon someone came up with other ideas - we can't do art, but who can compare with us for daily necessities?

?

There is no technical difficulty in making ceramic toilets. This thing has been around hundreds of years ago and is not a rare thing among the people. The British in this era have just invented the most primitive flush toilet, but it is only

It only has the function of flushing water. Automatic water storage tanks and U-shaped drainage elbows, which may appear to be very simple things in later generations, will not come out until more than a hundred years later. The Cross-Training Group can completely use its own technical reserves to seize this opportunity.

market.

When the ordinary ceramic toilet was changed to a flush toilet, the technical content immediately went up, and it was clean, hygienic, and durable. When Schneider heard about this, he thought that this thing would be sold both in the Ming Dynasty and in the West, although the construction would be a little more troublesome.

, you have to dig a hole indoors and bury a pipe to connect to the outdoor toilet, but rich people will definitely not care about this little trouble - anyone who has seen or used a flush toilet will no longer be happy to see it in their bedroom.

There is an old-fashioned toilet that needs to be cleaned every day.

When Schneider left Victory Port, the relevant technical departments were researching the production and sealing process of ceramic pipe fittings. This thing can not only be used in sanitary ware such as flush toilets, but also is the tri-acid and di-alkali production line being planned by the chemical industry department.

One of the important components.

If you want to sell these daily necessities in Daming, you must first install samples in your own home, so that you can display and promote the products to the wealthy businessmen and gentry who come and go in the future. However, whether it is a boiler or a toilet, you have to wait for the base camp.

After the finished product is produced, it is transported across the sea for installation, and even the relevant installation technicians need to be sent from the base camp. Therefore, for a short period of time, the Guangdong Office can only live according to the seventeenth century lifestyle.

After securing the location of the Guangdong Office, Schneider immediately searched for two shipyards and placed an order for four 400-material sea-going ships. However, because the shipyard's business was so good, the delivery date for the first ship was scheduled to February next year.

There was half a year between months. Waiting was not an option, so Schneider began to inquire about the second-hand market. Finally, a few days later, he bought a 70% new Dafu boat. He quickly sent a telegram back to the base camp to notify the executive.

The committee sent people to Guangzhou to pick up the ship, and by the way, they also transported back some of the materials purchased during these days and the immigrants collected. Of course, they did not forget to mention the request of the Guangdong Office to expand its manpower.

After settling down, the General Office of the People's Republic of China has started its normal work. Schneider is responsible for business activities, and He Xi is engaged in intelligence collection. Although the two of them already hold multiple positions, there are still many specific tasks that they have no time to do. At this time,

It is necessary to expand the establishment of the General Office of the People's Republic of China.

Schneider put forward relatively specific personnel requirements for the base camp: a person engaged in internal confidential work, that is, sorting out internal documents of the Guangdong Office and responsible for daily sending and receiving reports; a transportation specialist, responsible for the transportation between Guangzhou and Shengli Port

Cargo transportation affairs; a person in charge of immigration affairs, responsible for supervising the operation of charity organizations, and screening and managing immigrants to be sent to Victory Port; a medical staff, mainly providing medical protection for the Guangdong Office, and also ensuring that from

There will be no carriers of malignant infectious diseases among the immigrants who board the ship in Guangzhou; at least two or more professionally trained security personnel will ensure the daily safety of the Guangdong Office. In addition, the Guangdong Office also needs several reliable security personnel.

Naturalized service personnel are responsible for daily chores, running errands, carrying goods, etc.

If all these personnel are fully staffed, then there will be at least a dozen permanent staff in the Guangdong Office. This courtyard will be more popular than it is now, and it will not continue to be the two people staring at each other after dinner.

situation.

The Executive Committee received the news from Guangzhou on September 7 that the first batch of coal fleets returning from Black Tu Port a week ago had successfully arrived at Victory Port to transport more than 300 tons of coal and more than 40 tons of

Coke is all top-grade goods with excellent quality. The Executive Committee was very satisfied with this and immediately arranged transportation forces to continuously deliver these in-demand materials to Tiandu Industrial Zone. Whether it is the Metallurgical Port or the Chemical Port under the Ministry of Industry

, have been looking forward to this batch of fuel for a long time, and are waiting to start working hard after it arrives. Also returning at the same time is the contractor Liu Shanxia, ​​whose condition has improved slightly. He will conduct a comprehensive examination at the internal clinic of Base No. 1.

To ensure that this serious illness will not leave any sequelae on his body.

In order to improve the efficiency of coal transfer, the rail transportation system from Tiandu Industrial Zone to Shengli Port also started construction on the same day as the Guangdong Office was completed. This track, which is nearly ten kilometers long, is divided into two phases. It will be launched directly after it is passed.

Steam powered locomotive.

The track line is basically laid along the previous road channel, so there is no need to redo the survey work, and the roadbed will fully utilize the existing road. This route is basically based on the line of National Highway 224 in later generations, with the northern end

It ends next to the Tiandu River Hydropower Station, and the southern end leads directly to the Shengli Port Comprehensive Cargo Terminal under construction.

Since the current steel production is still very limited, a large amount of steel cannot be used to build railway tracks. The first phase of the project will not carry out double-track construction. After it is put into operation, trains will start at the same time and run in the opposite direction, and a small section of double-track track will be laid in the middle to facilitate the opposite direction.

The trains running will be staggered. The implementation time of the second phase of the project will depend on the increase speed of steel production and the actual needs of freight volume between the two places. A double track will be built next to the first phase of the project to expand the track between the two places.

Transportation capacity.

In addition to track construction, another project that the Executive Committee has focused on recently is the plan to further expand the production capacity of the salt field. After the salt field was hit by a disaster last month, the Executive Committee's timely response and post-disaster handling did not affect the people of the salt field too much.

Due to the impact of the disaster, some of the commune members who were severely affected by the disaster were even given a blessing in disguise and were assigned newly built brick houses, which also greatly improved the morale and labor enthusiasm of the salt field commune. The executive committee will bring more than 200 Vietnamese people back with the coal ship.

Most of the refugees have been transferred to the salt farm commune, and they are required to further increase their production capacity in the last few months of this year, striving to double their current production by the end of the year, reaching a level of more than four tons of salt per day.

.

The reason why the Executive Committee is eager to increase the production of salt is because the demand for salt has suddenly increased sharply recently, and the production capacity of the Saltworks Commune has reached a point where supply exceeds demand. Although the Saltworks Commune quickly recovered to more than 60 tons per month

production capacity, but still cannot meet existing needs.

The reasons for this change mainly come from four aspects. The first is internal production needs. Almost all production links of the chemical industry are inseparable from salt. As the products of the chemical industry increase and production capacity expands, the demand for salt also increases.

A sudden surge. In addition, when many projects were in the laboratory research stage, the daily demand for salt was very small, but now as the projects are gradually put into actual production, the demand has almost shown explosive growth. According to

The chemical industry estimates that to meet the internal chemical production, the salt required per month is at least 30 to 50 tons, which already accounts for more than half of the current production. And this demand will also increase with the chemical industry

As sectoral production capacity increases, the salt supply gap will only grow larger.

The second important export direction of salt is Luo Shengdong, an amateur salt dealer who openly smuggles under the banner of the navy. As he makes more and more money, Luo Shengdong's heart becomes bigger and bigger, and he is no longer satisfied with every day.

A small deal of two to three thousand kilograms at a time. A few days ago, he asked the Cliff Office to send a telegram, hoping that the future supply volume could increase to more than five thousand kilograms at a time, and he would pay in cash to pick up the goods - this guy has

After getting the money, he became more confident and never mentioned credit issues again. As for the frequency of picking up goods, Luo Shengdong hopes to increase it from once or twice a month to once every ten days. With such an adjustment, he will increase the frequency of delivery every month.

The delivery volume has increased by at least three times compared to the past. Although it is only seven or eight tons, it still accounts for a large share of the current salt production.

The third output direction is from Vietnam. Although the executive committee plans to wait until the first batch of coal ships return to send a batch of salt to Black Tu Port to see if it can open up a private salt business in Vietnam, but Black Tu has no plans on this project.

The Port Management Committee has already taken the lead. Prior to this, they had transported part of the salt in stock to the east coast of Vietnam, and connected with local wealthy businessmen through naturalized people, exchanging salt for food, and reached a small-scale agreement.

private salt trade.
