In desperation, Fang Xiaoyue could only choose to locate the chemical plant on the Yingbin Peninsula, ten kilometers away from the dock area.
This area is already outside the green safety zone of the dock area, so from the day the site was settled, Sun Xuebin stationed a company of soldiers here, and was also preparing to build four forts on both sides of the peninsula.
Of course, judging from the current situation, the Qianhu post at the rear has been wiped out. After all, even Qianhu has been killed, so even if there are still some soldiers and generals left, it will not be of much use.
In fact, according to the report of the reconnaissance team that went to investigate near Lingao, during this period, not only was the Qianhu Station at the rear guarding the city rife, but even Lingao had its city gates closed and no entry or exit was allowed.
Think about it, from the opponent's point of view, since the Qianhu post at the rear was completely defeated, these thieves are likely to take the opportunity to attack Lingao, and the tighter defense is for their own safety.
After all, the county magistrate in Lingao probably wouldn't want to die for his country.
In the next month, Fang Xiaoyue took more than ten apprentices assigned to him and spent every day in the drawing room.
They need to draw a large number of design drawings every day.
From various reaction chambers to pipes, storage tanks, etc., even the most inconspicuous reinforcement parts on the pipes need to be drawn by themselves.
This is not surprising. At this time, it was not as convenient as later generations, and you could purchase various parts at will.
Here, if you want to build something, you need to design all the parts and materials by yourself from beginning to end, otherwise, there will be nothing ready-made for you to use.
After repeated review, these design drawings will be sent to the mechanical processing factory, where workers in the mechanical processing factory will process them into various parts under the guidance of technical personnel.
It should be said that the current industrial group is no longer what it used to be.
The original members of the industrial group are now basically in charge of their own affairs.
Some are located in various workshops of steel-making plants, some are located in machinery processing plants, and still others are directors of concentrate powder processing plants, soap factories, glass factories, etc.
Later, more than a hundred people joined the industrial group.
No way, in terms of learning skills, even the time-travelers with the lowest level of education are better than most naturalized people.
The reason is very simple. Even if Chuan Zhong is a liberal arts major, at least he comes from the era of information explosion in later generations. At least he can understand some modern things and know more or less some knowledge.
The same cannot be said for naturalized citizens. Even the smartest naturalized citizens have to start with the most basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
This is the difference!
If it weren't for the fact that other groups couldn't release more people, otherwise, Zhang Feifei wanted to increase the number of time-travelers in the industrial group to 500!
Of course, the number of naturalized migrant workers in the factories affiliated to the industrial group has also increased to 3,000.
The current technical chain level of the industrial group is almost led by more than a dozen technicians such as Fang Xiaoyue and Zhang Feifei, and each of them has recruited some time-travel disciples.
And each of the time-traveling disciples also brought a group of converted disciples, ranging from thirty to forty people to more than ten people.
It’s impossible to take care of your disciples otherwise.
Although apprentices are brought up in this way, those naturalized apprentices will be just a group of skilled technical workers in later generations. It is basically impossible to bring out a group of engineers in this way.
But the problem is that modern industry requires a large number of skilled workers.
Of course, engineers are also essential.
Zhang Feifei has long wanted to build a vocational and technical college imitating Wang Haitao's Naval Academy.
However, I was really busy during this period and couldn't spare any time to plan the establishment.
Besides, even if a vocational and technical college has been established, the technical staff in the industrial group are all too busy and do not have much time to go to the vocational and technical college to give lectures.
However, Zhang Feifei had made up his mind to open a technical night school after this period of busy time, so that the naturalized migrant workers could study after dinner.
Apart from anything else, it is possible to improve their skills, and who knows how many engineers will be trained in a big wave?
It will be much more convenient to establish a vocational and technical college after everyone is familiar with the technical evening school model and the teaching methods.
Of course, compared to technical evening schools, the students recruited by vocational and technical colleges are definitely younger children of naturalized immigrants, not adult workers.
After all, children are definitely more efficient than adults in terms of learning, and their receptiveness to future generations of knowledge is also much higher.
After a large number of design drawings were gradually turned into physical objects, Fang Xiaoyue and others were stationed at Yingbin Peninsula and began to teach the naturalized migrant workers step by step in the installation.
No way, you have to teach the naturalized people step-by-step about anything and technology from later generations. Otherwise, they won’t know what to do with a bunch of things left there.
There is still a shortage of skilled workers. Looking at the newly built factory buildings on the construction site and some storage tanks and pipes installed in the open air, Fang Xiaoyue could only reach out and slap her aching waist.
Due to the extremely slow recovery of his strength, he stayed up too late during this period and his body could no longer bear it.
For example, several older technicians have been going to Wang Delun's place to get some amino acids these days.
Fortunately, the cement plant was built before this.
If the requirements for cement are not high, the technical content is actually not high.
Its raw materials are very simple, limestone, clay and steel slag.
There is no shortage of limestone on Nanhai Island. Well, in fact, limestone can be found in most places on Nanhai Island.
Because limestone was originally formed in a shallow sea environment.
Not to mention clay, clay can be found basically everywhere except deserts.
As for steel slag, the steelmaking plant has been producing continuously during this period, and in the open space behind it, steel slag is piled up like a mountain.
With these materials, it is not difficult to build a kiln for calcining.
In fact, it is not unscientific for many time-travel novels to use cement as the selling point of time-travel artifacts. After all, the mixture of volcanic ash and lime is actually a type of cement, and even if there is no steel slag, only limestone and clay, cement can be made.
It's just that the indicators are much different.
However, with the ancient productivity, the technical difficulty lies in the grinding of raw materials.
If you want to grind limestone into powder and produce a large amount of raw material powder, in ancient times, you would have to waste a lot of donkeys or cattle.
The dock area is simple. The grinding machine is not a very technical thing. It is equipped with a high-power steam engine and can easily grind limestone into powder.
