The Naval Academy is going to be held!
The Army Military Academy will also be held!
However, these are all part of strengthening armaments.
With the warning of the "battle of survival" in the last life simulator, Zhu Xianhai has already determined one thing - "The war will break out tomorrow." Because of this, inadvertently, the construction of Nanhua was transferred to
Arms come up.
After all, the long "battle for survival" cannot be ignored by anyone. It was simply the "eight-year war of resistance" in Nanhua.
In every minute and every second of those years, hundreds of thousands of South Chinese people were writing sacrifice with their lives!
And now Zhu Xianhai is not just trying to stop it!
Every minute and every second of his life is written with two words - revenge!
Yes, he wants revenge!
If you want revenge, you must strengthen yourself and strengthen your armaments.
Zhu Xianhai has been working hard towards these two goals, and the ultimate direction of these two goals points to heavy industry.
The first phase of the Zhenhua Iron and Steel Plant is undoubtedly the top priority of this industrial plan.
In fact, the foundation of Zhenhua Iron and Steel Plant is the two open-hearth furnaces of the glass factory. Nanhua first had steel, and then... ironmaking. Even until now, an ironmaking plant has not been built.
"The Zhenhua Iron and Steel Plant will be built on the banks of the Negro River 85 kilometers north of South China to solve the water source problem for steelmaking. According to the plan, two high-efficiency iron smelting blast furnaces with a daily output of 30 tons will be built, and a transportation link will be connected to the iron ore in the south.
mining railroad, and a steel rolling mill,"
In the building of the company's headquarters, Lu Bai, the chief engineer of the company's metallurgical department, unfolded a drawing and introduced it to Zhu Xianhai.
"...The coke blast furnace is 45 feet high and has a base diameter of 6.7 feet. The blast furnace gas is directed through a dedicated gas pipeline to four iron wind and five parallel single-flame tube steam furnaces, including rolling tons, plate rolling mills and others.
All equipment, including auxiliary equipment, is ordered from Middleslowside Locomotive Works in the UK. This is an enterprise whose main business is steel, locomotive manufacturing and other engineering manufacturing. At present, our iron smelting technology
Personnel are also trained there, and the total cost of all equipment is £21,785..."
How cheap!
Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sigh that an iron smelting plant with an annual output of 20,000 tons, including steel rolling equipment, only needs 20,000 pounds, or about 100,000 US dollars. It only requires "gold mine"
The "Deville Silver" produced in one day is enough to build such a factory, which is ridiculously simple and cheap.
Of course, this is only the cost of purchasing equipment, and there is also a large infrastructure cost. All in all, it only costs a few hundred pounds more "Deville Silver".
"At present, the No. 1 blast furnace of the iron plant and the corresponding steel rolling equipment have been shipped. It is expected that Sanpeng will complete the equipment installation next year, sir..."
Lu Bai paused, looked at Zhu Xianhai and said.
"I hope you will consider my previous comments again."
"What?"
Zhu Xianhai said.
"Any iron plant in the world should choose a location close to coal or iron mines, especially the latter is the most common, or choose a location close to a major market. My suggestion is to build the factory in Nanhua, at least here.
Closer to the consumer market. After all, our iron ore is 90 miles away, but the place you choose is only close to the water source..."
As the chief engineer, Lu Bai certainly had his own opinions on site selection, but his opinions obviously could not influence Zhu Xianhai's decision.
"The location has been decided. It's right there. It has the advantages of being inland. Safety comes first!"
Zhu Xianhai smiled and said,
They simply don’t know what “strategic security” needs are. If it weren’t for the fact that building a steel plant in the hinterland requires solving a series of transportation and other problems, Zhu Xianhai would even wish to build a steel plant in the Andes Mountains, just like the Republic of China.
The same as the third-line factory. Although in the long-term simulation, the coalition forces never captured Nanhua, that is, they occupied Beidma and only posed a threat to Nanhua, but now Zhu Xianhai must consider the strategic depth of Nanhua.
It is for this reason that many heavy-duty factories, including steel plants, must be built in the hinterland. This is based on the need to prepare for war. As for the economy, it comes second.
"Okay, sir, you are the boss and you have the final say, but sir, whether it is an iron factory, an iron mine, or a railway, it requires a lot of manpower to complete the project as scheduled, so please ensure the manpower is available. I think if
If necessary, the company can hire personnel from Ireland to participate in the construction, so..."
Before Lu Bai could finish speaking, Zhu Xianhai waved his hand and said.
"As a result, the progress of the project will definitely be slowed down. Believe me, there are no better workers in the world than the Chinese. The hard-working Chinese people are definitely not comparable to the Irish!"
This is a fact. In the United States, the American Pacific Railway was stopped because the Irish could not bear the heavy and harsh working environment. The arrival of Chinese workers solved the problem, and their work efficiency was not comparable to that of the Irish.
Moreover, in the simulator, those "inferior white-skinned" backstabbings were still fresh in Zhu Xianhai's memory.
The so-called "inferior white-skinned workers" are actually cheap laborers without any technical ability. The reason why they are introduced is, to put it bluntly, to alleviate the shortage of manpower in Nanhua.
Railway, and finally many of them settled inland. In the end, they started the rebellion. As for the experts, senior technicians and workers in the factory, they rarely participated in the rebellion. Even if they did, they were very few. They
Instead of participating in the rebellion, many people directly participated in the resistance war and died on the battlefield.
There is no other reason. Their incomes are quite high and they are all middle-class families in Nanhua. They are more willing to maintain their current life than to rebel, except of course some political careerists.
"However, the current manpower is likely to hinder the development of the project. As long as the company is willing, there are tens of thousands of Irish people in Ireland who would be willing to work here!"
What I’m afraid of is the tens of thousands of laborers!
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"I will find a way to solve the labor problem. You only need to consider the construction of the factory. I will transfer a group of people from Araucanía to build roads. As for the future, just wait a few more months, at most
In the second half of the year, more people will come..."
While talking, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but talk about his big ship...
