Chapter 1131
The Firearms Army General Station is under construction
We spent the whole morning wandering around the small island of Shuangzi Island. During lunch, Qu Mao deliberately called Kong Ming to have dinner with him and told Kong Ming that he needed to plant grass in the experimental site to prevent sand from being blown into the sea by the sea wind.
The 200-meter-square experimental site covers an area of 40,000 square meters in total. Without planting grass, it would be difficult to preserve the sand and even the gravel that is now spread inside.
Kong Ming also confirmed that he had spent a lot of effort to transport the sand from Jidao in two batches. As soon as Qu Mao said this, Kong Ming realized what the problem was and immediately said that he would contact Xuande immediately and let Xuande personally
Send grass seeds and straw mats to the Twin Islands on the way.
First scatter grass seeds, pour in fresh water, and then cover it with a straw mat to prevent the sand and gravel from being blown away by the sea breeze before the grass seeds grow.
When Qu Mao heard this, he said: "Kong Ming, since Xuande is coming, let him bring more grass seeds and straw mats. The playground of the Firearms University, the tree seedlings planted by student Lin Xin, the Firearms Research Institute
Such arrangements are required for actual shooting venues, firearms corps’ playgrounds, shooting venues, etc.”
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I will get in touch with Master Xuande later. The Twin Islands on the way have such an advantage. You can use magic communication crystals to communicate with any island in the Holy Land."
By the way, I asked Mr. Xuande to bring some fresh water and sand. There is a shortage of these things on the Twin Islands on the way. The students at the Firearms University all used the morning wash water to water the saplings they planted.
Sir, you walked around the island this morning and visited the Firearms University and the Firearms Research Institute under construction. Do you have any suggestions?"
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "The reservoir, power system, and wind utilization facilities on the island have not yet been built, so I don't have any suggestions.
However, the freshmen of Firearms University planted a tree sapling in the student forest. I think it can be adhered to as a practice. Even if the 10,000 square meters area is full, new areas can be continued to be planted for subsequent students to plant tree saplings.
.
Also, September to December is the rainy season for the 15 islands in the Holy Land. I don’t know if it is the rainy season for the Midway Twin Islands, but before that, the water reservoirs and canals on the Midway Twin Islands and the big islands should be excavated.
It’s still necessary.”
Kong Ming nodded, took out a pen and paper, and said while recording: "Yes, sir, I have written it down.
Planting and caring for trees by Xinsheng will, on the one hand, reduce the cost of afforestation on the Twin Islands, and on the other hand, the survival rate of the trees will become higher.
Because of its commemorative significance, the freshmen are very dedicated in taking care of the tree seedlings. The increase in the survival rate of tree planting will also reduce our waste in tree planting.
The trees are now planted, which is of great help to us in conserving the soil and water on Midway Twin Islands.
After all, after we come, Midway Twin Islands will no longer be a desert island, but will become an inhabited island, so Midway Twin Islands must be transformed into a livable island."
Qu Mao nodded, stopped talking, and started eating lunch seriously.
Kong Ming continued to ask: "Sir, what are your next plans for Midway Twin Islands?"
Qu Mao said: "Now that we have arrived at the Midway Twin Islands and have seen the small islands, we naturally want to go to the construction site of the Big Island Firearms Army General Station."
Kong Ming nodded and said: "Sir, you can go there after lunch. You can either wade through the water or take a shuttle boat. After the navy transported supplies, a total of 20 shuttle boats were left at the Twin Islands on the way.
Li Xiang is now on the big island, leading the construction workers to build the general garrison of the firearms army. He has already been on duty to build a zero-level military camp. The musketeers and artillery team soldiers in the firearms army who are not on the small island are currently mainly stationed in the zero-level military camp. The rest
Most of the personnel are construction workers brought over by Li Xiang."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, go ahead and do your work. I will make arrangements myself."
At noon on July 19, the sixth year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao had lunch on the small island, he found a shuttle boat and asked two Musketeers to paddle the shuttle boat to the big island of the Twin Islands on the way.
After walking less than three kilometers on the big island, Qu Mao saw Li Xiang.
Li Xiang originally planned to come up to say hello to Qu Mao and introduce to Qu Mao the construction arrangements of the Twin Islands on the way, but Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Li Xiang from coming, and told Li Xiang that he wanted to take a stroll on the big island.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Qu Mao finally climbed up to the highest mountain on the island. Looking around, Qu Mao couldn't help but feel ashamed.
At first, Qu Mao felt that the construction sites on the big island were far less busy than those on the small island. He thought that Kong Ming focused the construction on the small island, and Li Xiang was probably still in the stage of inspecting the terrain and planning the construction.
But I didn’t expect that on the other side of the highest peak, at least nearly a thousand people were working hard. Some were cleaning the edges of the valley, and some were building water dams. Of course, more people were in the valley on the other side of the highest peak.
Organize the bottom of the library.
Apparently, below the highest peak near the southwest side of Da Dao is where Li Xiang wants to build Da Dao Reservoir.
Qu Mao made a visual inspection: It is expected that the top of the entire reservoir will be at least 300 meters in diameter and the bottom of the reservoir will be at least 100 meters in diameter after it is completed. According to the height of the water dam on the mountainside where Li Xiang is currently leading the construction, Qu Mao estimates that the reservoir will be at least 300 meters in diameter by then.
The normal water holding depth will be 50 meters, and the fully loaded water holding depth should be more than 80 meters.
This means that the fresh water in the entire reservoir is enough to meet the drinking needs of 100,000 people for half a year, provided of course that evaporation does not occur too quickly.
Halfway up the highest mountain, there are also many engineering and technical workers digging holes in the ground with steel drills.
Qu Mao watched for a while at the top of the peak, then walked towards the engineering and technical personnel who were digging the hole, and asked: "What are you doing?"
An engineering technician stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his face, and replied: "Sir, on the order of Lord Li Xiang, a circular pit with a depth of two meters and a diameter of one meter is dug here, and
The excavated stones will be crushed and backfilled to plant seedlings brought from Lundao Town.
Master Li Xiang said that if there are not enough trees for shelter, even if the reservoir is full of water after it is built, it will not be able to withstand the sun's evaporation for a month."
Qu Mao nodded in approval and said, "Tell Li Xiang that the firearms army's shooting range and playground should also learn from the island."
The skilled worker smiled and said: "Yes, sir, my subordinates will tell you.
What Mr. Li Xiang is thinking of now is to dig a well with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 5 meters at the bottom of the reservoir under construction, fill it with all the fresh water we finally transported, and leave it there for 10 days from Yi Dao.
The small fish caught in the Haihe River will even be covered with cloth at the mouth of the well when the weather is hot, it’s so precious.”
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment and cursed: "It's all nonsense."
