Chapter 515 Shipbuilding and Communications Office
Time: Day 8.
Location: Near the settlement of Zhongzhou tribe in Yangshan area, near the dock.
Compared with Hu Biao and others, when this place was conquered, there were only a few large stones at the dock used to tie up boats.
Up to now, it can be said that there has been an amazing and earth-shaking change.
Such changes do not mean that there is a trestle built of reinforced concrete, small gantry cranes for loading and unloading and other equipment.
And there are berths that can accommodate both large and small ships, a total of 50 ships.
More importantly, with the arrival of Hu Biao and others this time, a brand new unit like the 'Zhongzhou Tribe Shipyard' was established next to the dock.
Even today, when there are no factories or docks, the Zhongzhou tribe's shipbuilding work is already ready to begin.
If everything goes well, even when Hu Biao and the others leave, the first boat can be successfully launched.
There is no way! The current Central Continent tribe is surrounded by water, and the only external means of transportation can only rely on ships to sail on the various islands they control.
As a result, there is no doubt that they have a large gap in ships; if they rely entirely on procurement, not only will there be too much financial pressure, but bringing them over will also be a huge trouble.
After taking this into consideration, they must solve the problem of Zhongzhou's own shipbuilding as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter if the ship is smaller at the beginning, but you must continue to accumulate experience, train workers and technicians, and prepare for building a truly large ship in the future.
And the burden of starting the shipbuilding of the Central Continent tribe from scratch fell on Bianrou, a top student who graduated from Yale University.
This shows that Hu Biao and others attach great importance to this work.
However, even when I came here this time.
Bianrou brought a considerable amount of shipbuilding information, and their initial target was some small iron-hulled ships of twenty to thirty tons.
At the same time, various cutting machines, electric welding machines and other labor tools, as well as shipboard steel plates from the steel plant, have been prepared.
Even the keels that the Zhongzhou tribe cannot currently produce due to the lack of heavy equipment such as hydraulic presses have been brought over by them in sufficient quantities to build 20.
But once the shipbuilding work actually started, the man from the city found that there were too many difficulties in building ships in a doomsday world with no resources.
If you want to say that other places can still provide customer service, then there is one flaw:
Qualified technical workers, as well as technicians who can understand design drawings...
Amidst the electric sound of "Uh, uh, uh~", it was Bian Poo vigorously shaking the old-fashioned telephone in one of the two red brick buildings owned by the captain.
Bundle.
By the way! This thing needs to be shaken in this way to generate current, so as to have the purpose of connecting the phone.
But in fact, there is no need to shake the bacon so violently.
The reason why he did this was just that he needed to use this method to vent some of his intensely depressed emotions.
After shaking for a while, Bianrou picked up the black microphone.
I heard one of the girls with a cooing voice, or rather a woman, say: "Hello! May I ask where you want to pick me up?"
So what! After Hu Biao and the others came over this time, the phone call was connected on the third day.
Of course, this only refers to the completion of communications among all factories and departments within a small area of several kilometers around the gathering place.
For example, in the joint coal and iron mining area, only a "Small Bayi-style radio station" is installed.
The real telephone lines are still being set up, and it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days to be completed.
In addition, these operators are actually women who have long-term abnormal relationships with the old SPs of the Zhongzhou team, and took up the post after receiving simple training from Zhuye.
It can be considered that these people are using it for personal gain.
It's a pity that those gentle voices on the other side failed to calm the anger in Bian Poo's heart.
He was still angry and shouted in his mouth: "I am a bacon from the shipyard. Pick me up from Hu Biao's office immediately. I have something urgent to call that little red guy."
It's probably because the line to the office of Chief Hu Biao is now open and this guy hasn't gone out to wander around.
Soon after, Bianrou got on the phone with Hu Biao.
After speaking, Bianrou made a request. At this moment, his tone is actually quite restrained:
"Lao Hu, give me five workers who can weld, and five more who can read more than 300 words and can use Chinese Pinyin proficiently. I want to train these people into technicians who can at least understand some simple drawings.
Otherwise, there is really no other way. We can cut them off in half a month and let them have the most basic level of shipbuilding when we leave."
As a result, as soon as Hu Biao heard this, he immediately answered a bit erroneously:
"You need people, okay! How about I arrange for 30 good guys to come over for you, and make sure that they are all good at the job. They won't dare to crush chickens if you ask them to catch dogs."
If there are still some who can't muster the strength, just whip them as hard as you can, and I'll take care of you if something happens."
After hearing such a reply, Bian Po was a little angry.
Even if he knew that Hu Biao's current stupid answer actually had a last resort.
With their arrival this time, new industrial sectors such as the communications sector, shipyards, paper mills, salt factories, battery factories, repair shops, clothing factories, coal chemical plants, railway engineering teams, etc. started to develop one after another.
In the past half a year, the technicians and workers who were originally trained immediately became stretched.
Even being able to read 300 words, which is equivalent to an intellectual graduating from the second grade of elementary school in the modern plane, is far from enough.
On the contrary, as a large number of people were absorbed, they were continuously transported back one by one by the fleet.
The Central Continent tribes began to become rich in terms of labor force.
The problem is that although shipbuilding is an industry involving heavy physical labor in the modern world, the technical content is not low at all.
Even if you are building some small boats, you must have at least the basic operations of various tools, right?
The team demanded that once the 15 days were over, the shipyard must be able to build a simple ship of 20 to 30 tons. This was a rigid requirement.
He wants such a large amount of labor force with only a handful of strength. How the hell can it be of any use?
Suddenly, thinking of such huge pressure, Bianrou immediately got angry with Hu Biao on the phone: "Little red guy named Hu, stop pretending to be stupid with me.
I don't have many of my current subordinates who can even use electric welding, let alone experts who can use argon arc welding well.
Can I still spit a few times and stick the steel plates together? Anyway, if you don't have enough qualified personnel for me, don't blame me if the shipyard gets crotched."
However, in the face of bacon’s threats and abuse, Hu Biao just continued haha:
"You're so old, why don't you be so angry? It's not good for your health. Why don't I have someone bring you some herbal tea prepared by black Chinese medicine later. After drinking it, the effect will be better."
For a moment, Bianpo, who was a bit old-fashioned and had nowhere to start, was speechless:
"..."
In the end, Bianrou's various efforts, including threatening, pleading, presenting facts, reasoning, etc., had a certain effect.
Hu Biao promised to assign him a welder and three people with a literacy level of over 200.
By the way! There are also 20 young men who are strong and work hard. The bacon was also accepted together. These people can help with some hard work, right?
It was also from this day that the bacon factory director personally picked up the welding machine.
So much so that every night before I go to bed, my eyes are as red as rabbits, and tears are constantly filling my eyes when I open and close them.
But he thinks the effort is worth it.
Just when he was about to master the beautiful fish scale welding, the Zhongzhou tribe's first self-produced iron-hulled boat was officially launched into the water after it was installed with a motor modified from a motorcycle engine.
When this thing was on the water and opened at a speed of about 10 yards, thousands of people from the Central Continent tribe who participated in the launching ceremony let out huge cheers.
