After leaving the Bac Ninh Coal Mine, Li Ming went to the construction site of the Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Plant. It's a lot more lively here, there are thousands of apprentices alone, and they follow the engineers and technicians of the steel plant every day, getting up early and working late at the construction site.

Located in the eastern part of Bac Ninh town, less than five kilometers from the coast, the iron ore from the iron ore mining area of the Eastern Port will be transported directly to the nearby port and directly to the steel plant by Guò railway.

The modern port of Orient, which has been developed by the company, has built an improvised dock and a direct railroad to the mines, and is now home to thousands of Luzon natives, who are working early in the morning.

Specialist technicians at the shipyard are designing an offshore steam-powered self-propelled deck barge for the mine, which can transport iron ore not only to the Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Complex, but also to provide offshore transportation for the company in case of emergency.

The head of the Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Plant is Qian Shuheng, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was a branch director of a state-owned steel plant in modern society and left the steel plant for some reason. Qian Shuheng is 47 years old this year, with a somewhat upright personality and a relatively stubborn temper. But the level of business is absolutely fine, and there is a lot of energy to work in.

When Li Ming and Hu Wei arrived at the construction site of the steel plant, only one engineer from the Science and Technology Commission came out to greet them symbolically. Qian Shuheng and the heads of various departments of the steel plant are busy in their respective posts.

Hu Wei was afraid that Li Ming had an idea in his heart, so he explained to Li Ming with a smile: "Lao Qian works like this, staying on the front line every day, some time ago when Wang and a group of members of the Standing Committee of the Ethnic Affairs Committee inspected Beining Town, he didn't show up, or when a group of Standing Committee members came to the steel plant, he only came out for more than ten minutes, and then went back to supervise the project." ”

Li Ming waved his hand and teased: "Old Hu, how can you learn this set." I'm not an official, it's good to be old and rich, since we have come to this era, it's time to change the way of modern society. ”

Hu Wei nodded and said: "I'm not afraid that you have ideas, now that there are more people in the company, I also have to change myself appropriately." There have been times before, and it has indeed passed. If the employee has an idea about me, it's my job. ”

Li Ming smiled, Hu Wei is now more and more like a leader, no longer brutal, and knows how to look at problems from a high place.

They walked into the construction site of the steel plant, and it was full of busy people, and now the main work is still in the foundation construction stage, and it is still far from installing the equipment.

After walking around the construction site of the steel plant for a long time, I saw the figure of Qian Shuheng, who was getting together with a group of experts and technicians to discuss something. Li Ming didn't bother him, and stood quietly next to him, until everyone dispersed, and Hu Wei stopped Qian Shuheng.

Qian Shuheng looked back, nodded and said hello to everyone, and then said with a smile: "I'm too busy here, so I didn't go to greet the two of you, I'll find someone and ask them to take you around." ”

Li Ming hurriedly said: "You are busy with yours, I just go around casually, don't delay everyone's work." ”

Qian Shuheng listened to Li Ming's words, nodded and said: "Then you come with me, I'll lead you around, when it comes to technical things, I told you that you don't understand, I try to keep it simple, I can't help it if I understand it or not."

In fact, there is nothing to see, and the eight characters have not been skimmed yet. It would be good to be able to do a good job of infrastructure construction this year, and next year we will be able to put on a small blast furnace of 50 cubic meters, a small converter of 10 tons, a small electric furnace and a 1800 kVA ferroalloy electric furnace. This set of equipment is the technology of the late eighties, and the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel is about 1.5 tons of standard coal. I don't even know when the devices brought from the modern world will be used.

Now there is a shortage of industrial workers, and these thousands of apprentices still need to practice for a long time. In modern society, there are many small blast furnaces in Inner Mongolia, and the technology is much stronger than ours, but most of their employees are migrant workers, and they can also make steel and iron after training. Not with our thousands of apprentices. Although they are all very hard-working, their foundation is too poor, so they can only explore while working. ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long breath and continued: "Although the start is difficult, the prospects are still very optimistic, after all, we have enough technology, management personnel, and all kinds of equipment. In the future, it will be built into a steel complex integrating raw material processing, smelting and steel rolling. ”

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "The iron mine in Dongfang Port is said to have not many reserves, how will our iron ore be solved in the future?" ”

Qian Shuheng said with a smile: "The iron ore reserves of Dongfang Port are enough for us to use for a period of time, and it will be easy for us to produce in the future." The iron ore reserves in the Outer Northeast Region are very rich, with proven iron ore reserves of more than 7 billion tons, such as the South Aldan River in the south of the Sakha Republic in modern society, the Jieya River-Sheremja River in the Amur Region, and the Little Khingan-Buleya Mountains in the Jewish Autonomous Region. Rich titanomagnetite sands have been found off the eastern coast of Kamchatka and near some islands of the Kuril Islands.

In the Outer Northeast, we don't have to worry about resources at all, just dig twice with a shovel, and maybe we can dig up some minerals. The Soviet Union and later Russia, the development of the Far East can be said to be extremely rough, many unknown veins, have not been discovered, and we don't know how many veins will be found in the future.

As long as we guard the Bac Ninh coal mine, it doesn't matter where the iron ore comes from. When the steel output comes, we in the Far East will build a railway network between Liaodong and the Outer Northeast, make use of the resources of the Outer Northeast, develop and build with peace of mind, and build a modern industrial power within a few decades. ”

After coming out of the steel factory, Li Ming and Song Tao separated from Hu Wei and went directly to the Beining garrison area. Qiang Quansheng and the commanders of the detachments in the garrison area collectively went to the gate of the barracks in the garrison area to greet Li Ming's arrival.

At present, the troops in the Bac Ninh garrison area are equipped with a garrison brigade, and the brigade commander is Qiang Quansheng, and a battalion of the mountain regiment and an artillery battalion have been strengthened, and an automobile company directly under the brigade (equipped with two BTR-60 armored vehicles, five jeeps and ten off-road vehicles, and ten RF250 off-road motorcycles) and an engineer company have been strengthened.

In addition, the Air Department has an airfield here with two UAV groups, four delta-wing aircraft, as well as a full-fledged ground support and storage base. The airfield is in good condition, supported by two "caravans" and two helicopters in Vladivostok if necessary.

They came to the headquarters of the garrison area in Bac Ninh, and Quan Sheng reported the situation in the garrison area for Li Ming, and also took Li Ming and Song Tao to watch the training of the troops. Li Ming is still quite satisfied with the work of the Bac Ninh garrison area, since the attack on the town of Biquge www.biquge.info, the military committee has attached great importance to the defense of the northern part of the company, so Qiang Quansheng is very concerned about the defense of the Bac Ninh garrison area.

The next step of the company is to send Song Tao to lead the special combat team and the mountain regiment to inspect various areas in the southern part of Xingkai Lake, control the Shuangchengzi, Ningguta and other areas, and establish a tunpu there, the mountain regiment is stationed in each tunpu as a company, and is responsible for patrol and reconnaissance in peacetime, and when the situation is found, it will use the radio to contact the Beining garrison area, and the emergency detachment and air force in the garrison area will rush there in the shortest time for reinforcements.

Since the company eliminated the eastward advance troops of the Houjin and killed and wounded and captured nearly 10,000 Jurchen natives, the Far Eastern Company has become known to everyone in the northeast. The Varkha tribe, the Solon tribe, the Huerha tribe, the Woji tribe and other large tribes have sent envoys one after another, bringing a large number of precious gifts, hoping to maintain good relations with the Far East Company.

Other small and medium-sized tribes have sent tributes, hoping to belong to the Far East Company, and promised to offer offerings every year in the future, and when the Far East needs it, they can recruit the warriors of their tribes to help the Far East fight around.

The Far Eastern Company in the Outer Northeast can be said to be famous, slaughtering tribes at every turn in the past, leaving no chickens and dogs. Later, Ninggu Pagoda was burned again, causing Ninggu Pagoda to be uninhabited for more than 100 miles. This time, thousands of powerful Houjin Tartars were destroyed, and the indigenous Jurchen tribes of all ethnic groups in the Haixi and East China Seas in the outer northeast were a little afraid.

No one wants to be burned to the ground by an iron bird that lays eggs. I don't want hundreds of steel monsters to hit the door. Anyway, the Far East has been rumored to be more and more divine, and even the shamans of many large tribes say that the Far East came here from the distant kingdom of God.

For the poor, clanging tribes, the Far Eastern Company is the place to belong. The company sent a large number of indigenous people who belonged to the villages to go deep into the Northeast and lobby the scattered villages in various places.

In fact, they went to various places to show off and brag about their power, saying how good the houses built by the Far East Company for them, and that they did not need much worship in the Far East's sphere of influence, and that the young and strong people in the villages could also go to the Far East to work and even become soldiers, and the most exciting thing for them was that they could also trade with the Far East Company.

The propaganda of the Far Eastern Company has achieved very good results. In the past year, especially after the Far East defeated the Later Jin, more than 300 villages have migrated from the outer northeast, and many tribes have come from far away.

Anyway, one is poorer than the other, and the other is more miserable than the other, and the largest population of such a village or small tribe is only two or three hundred. They live in the outer northeast where the fittest survive, and their lives are very difficult, which is similar to the village in the old Kutou of the Golden Horn. Every year, they paid a large tribute to the powerful tribes in the vicinity, and when there was a conflict between the tribes, they also sent young men to war.

If they catch up with the conflict of several large tribes nearby, they will be even more miserable, it is good to be robbed and snatched of women, and it is normal to even exterminate the clan. R1152
