Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 154 Lumberjack

Timber production in forest farms is divided into five processes: felling, pruning, skidding, loading, and forest clearing.

The first process is logging. Loggers use axes, saws and other tools to cut down the wood growing in the forest.

In the past, it was purely manual logging, and the sawman used a very sharp curved handle saw or a belly saw.

In the mid-60s, the whole world began to promote the use of chain saws, and the domestic 051 chain saws were generally used.

Sheng Xiping once heard his father mention that when he first started using a chainsaw, those old sawers were not used to it.

So when logging, the chainsaw was turned on, and the throttle tie rod of the saw machine was fastened and fixed with a thin rope.

Let the chainsaw scream in a moderate voice, and then the sawman still cuts down the big tree with a curved handle.

Later, when the leaders went deep into the site to investigate the promotion of new technologies, they discovered the secret.

Afterwards, the leader requested that a chainsaw must be used and someone should be arranged to check it.

In desperation, these old saw hands began to accept the new technology.

The group of old saw hands back then are almost the same age as Sheng Liancheng now.

Some have been promoted and become foremen, production dispatchers, and production plant managers, and some have been engaged in more leisurely jobs.

For example, looking at the tractor hangar, heating the stove for the construction team, etc., or else, retiring early.

Most of the loggers in forest farms are young people in their 30s and [-]s.

Qianchuan Forest Farm currently has four skidding tractors and two winches.

According to the fact that each work team is equipped with two skidding tractors and one winch, the current four work teams are not enough points.

Therefore, only part of the work can be done in assembly line, and part of it can be done in return operation.

The educated youth team does not belong to the official establishment, and can only be supplementary personnel outside the staff.

In previous years, there were few educated youths, and they were mixed into other work teams, with veterans leading them to work.

This year is different. There are too many educated youth teams, so we can only set up a separate work team, just like the previous outsourced contracting, with independent accounting, and more work and more income.

The machinery of the official labor team is not enough, so naturally the educated youth team is not available.

The forest farm only equips the educated youth team with a chainsaw for logging, and the rest of the logging and resetting are all done manually.

Lumberjacks, also known as chain sawers, need to pass training and assessment.

Qualified people can work on the job only after obtaining the corresponding qualifications.

Although Sheng Xiping and others know how to operate chainsaws, they are not regular employees of the forest farm and have not obtained relevant qualifications. They are not allowed to operate chainsaws for logging. The forest farm must be equipped with saw hands.

However, Sheng Xiping never expected that the saw hand provided by the forest farm for the educated youth team turned out to be Li Dazhuang.

This man works, just like his father, he is also known as a foreign worker.

According to the normal production procedure, the loggers must follow the schematic diagram of the cutting area given by the production unit, and gradually advance according to the designated skidding road, and must keep a safe distance of 70 meters from other processes.

This requires that loggers have to enter the mountain field three days earlier than other processes to allow a sufficient safety distance.

But Li Dazhuang is really not very good at working.

After working for a while, I sat down to smoke a cigarette, or chat with other people.

In three days, the work area has just been harvested. If he works like this, how will the educated youth team make money this year?
"Xi Ping, what should we do?
Li Dazhuang worked as a foreign worker. If he did so, there would be another three days, and it would be good if he could keep a safe distance.

The progress of this work is too slow, we can't make money. "

Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others found Sheng Xiping to discuss countermeasures.

"I feel that he did it on purpose. He worked slowly on purpose, so that we couldn't proceed to the next process quickly."

Wang Jianshe glanced at Li Dazhuang, who was sitting down to smoke again in the distance, and whispered in Sheng Xiping's ear.

Of course Sheng Xiping understood that Li Dazhuang was looking for trouble on purpose.

It is estimated that Li Dazhuang guessed who the culprit was that his kang was blown up, but he had no evidence.

So this method is used to create obstacles for the educated youth team, so that the educated youth team cannot earn money.

In fact, sawing is more dangerous than other jobs, and the wages earned are actually no higher than other jobs.

But Sawhand has an advantage, that is, time freedom.

Some sawers will do all the harvesting for several days, and then free up time to rest or do other things, such as hunting.

In the work team, the most prone to conflicts are saw hands and tractor drivers.

In many cases, the sawman often cuts too much wood, and saws enough work for the tractor for several days at once.

Then the sawman left, or went hunting, or went to the forest to tie a cannon to a pine tree to break pine nuts, that is, to engage in sideline business to earn money.

As for the tractor, it is necessary to pull out all the trees felled by the sawman.

In case of heavy snowfall in the middle, the snow will be heavy in the mountains. After a snowfall, the ditches will be full and flat, and it is impossible to see where the felled wood is, and it is easy to miss it.

Once the wood is missed, when the snow melts next year, if the inspection fails, the tractor driver's salary will have to be deducted.

Therefore, tractor drivers and saw hands often have conflicts and even fights because of these.

It can be seen from here that the sawman works very fast.

Li Dazhuang's ability to pass the hand-sawing test proved that his skills are passable, but at the moment he is working so slowly, it is obviously intentional.

"This is just the beginning, so it's not good to quarrel with him.

In this way, you and Junzi will be Li Dazhuang's assistant.

You try to push him to work, to make him go faster.

If he is still working so hard, I will go to the production dispatcher and ask him to replace him. "

Sheng Xiping couldn't think of a better way for the time being. The key is that none of them are qualified to saw hands, and they won't be allowed to cut wood in the field, so they can only serve as assistants to saw hands.

Wang Jianshe did not recruit, and could only follow Sheng Xiping's instructions.

Therefore, Wang Jianshe and Zhang Zhijun became Li Dazhuang's assistants together.

Generally, logging is done by two partners, the sawman and the assistant.

When the lumberjack cuts the "Yingmen tree", the assistant should use an ax to cut two safety paths of three meters long and one meter wide at an angle of 45 degrees on both sides of the opposite direction of the "should be felled" according to the direction in which the tree falls. .

In case the tree "calls hawthorn", the two can withdraw to a safe distance in time.

At the same time, the assistant of the sawman is also responsible for carrying the chainsaw on the back when entering the mountain, and carrying mixed gasoline and parts.

After the tree is brought down, the assistants also need to perform branching operations according to the tree species.

After the heavy snow in winter makes no one's thigh crossed, the work team will arrange another person who "picks up tree roots" for the sawman.

That is, someone specially clears a one-meter-wide snow track under each tree in circles, so that the loggers can work with a chainsaw, which is convenient and quick.

Sheng Xiping originally thought that in February and March of the new year, the snow would start to harden.

The sawman trekked hard in the snow with the chainsaw on his back, and at that time, he would be equipped with an assistant of "pinch of tree roots".

But right now Li Dazhuang is deliberately playing tricks, Sheng Xiping has no choice but to match this assistant, and the two of them will follow the saw hand to work.

Zhang Zhijun was young and tender-skinned, so he was ashamed to urge Li Dazhuang.

Wang Jianshe didn't care about that, he urged Li Dazhuang to work when the safety road was cut out.

If Li Dazhuang wanted to say that he would quit, Wang Jianshe would yell at him with all kinds of words, and Li Dazhuang was out of control, so he could only work faster.
