Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 353 Preparation
The winter in the Northeast is extremely cold.

It was just the beginning of winter, and Zhu Changyuan's breath had turned to ice when he walked on the street outside.

All the soldiers and civilians in the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou have entered the winter rest season, and with the large amount of food and clothing in Zhu Changyuan's hands, their winter is destined not to be too sad.

At that time, nearly one-third of the grain was brought from the land of Shaanxi, and the population under the rule now is not too large. Therefore, even if the whole Ningjin does not plant the land for three years, there is still enough grain to eat. There is no need to worry about this. .

Although the weather was cold, there was a group of men and horses that were never idle, and that was Zhu Changyuan's [-] armored cavalry.

Now that there is no need to fight, they have turned into experts in road surveying again, walking around the field with instruments to survey the terrain.

To be precise, it should be to explore the topography of the journey from Jinzhou to Fuxin in later generations.

It was not until the Guangxu period of the later generations that Fuxin County was established where Fuxin City was located. Now, that place is just a slightly larger village and town, where residents gather, far from being a city.

Zhu Changyuan is now the governor of Jiliao and King Yanming of the Ming Dynasty, who governs Liaodong and has the right to make decisions. Therefore, for convenience, he gave the place where Fuxin is located in later generations a new name: Fuxin City.

Let Bian Heng around him take 5000 people to build a city there, and dig a large pool at the foot of the open-pit coal mine for Zhu Changyuan's giant ship to park.

Each of the two hundred cavalry is the enemy of ten thousand people. Needless to say, they are physically strong, and they are wearing the super thick down jacket that Zhu Changyuan transported from modern society, so they can cope with this cold winter.

After all, this place is almost at the same latitude as Beijing. Although it is in the northeast, it is not as far away as Harbin, and it is not as cold as imagined.

Now with Zhu Changyuan's global positioning subsystem, not only mobile phones can be used, but also GPRS can be used for positioning measurement without using a total station, so the work efficiency of the survey team is much higher.

In half a month, all the surveys of topographic maps from Fuxin City to Jinzhou were completed, and the topographic maps were released, which can be described as first-hand exploration and design materials.

Once these original data were collected, Zhu Changyuan immediately organized the road designers on Riyue Island to design an optimal route from Fuxin City to Jinzhou City according to the topographical map, and extend this route to the seaside.

Of course, in view of the construction conditions of the parallel world, instead of designing a road, a single-track railway was designed.Because in road construction, whether it is technical standards or construction requirements, railways are much lower than roads.

Zhu Changyuan graduated from the School of Civil Engineering. Although he dare not say that he is proficient in engineering matters, he still has some common sense. Moreover, he has spent a lot of time on the construction site, and he has been influenced by his father all day long. A little bit.

After an estimate, the whole line is estimated to be about [-] kilometers, not too long, not too short.

Three days later, the staff of the Design Institute finished selecting the line and handed the selected drawings to Zhu Changyuan.

After Zhu Changyuan looked at it carefully, he shook his head: These designers completely designed according to the design concept of modern society. Even though there was nothing wrong, they did not consider the actual situation.

"Our current bridge-building technology can't keep up. It's better to choose the route to cross the river less. If it is unavoidable to build a bridge, we must adhere to this principle."

A [-]-kilometer line, crossing the Daling River back and forth eight times, Nima, do you think I can build bridges?
Fortunately, after Zhu Changyuan clearly informed the people below of his thinking, a few days later, the official route selection drawing was released, and the route was finally finalized.

However, although the line has been ordered, the specific detailed drawings have not yet been designed.

Zhu Changyuan is not in a hurry, anyway, even if the design is done, it can't be constructed now. Give them a winter to slowly design, and start construction in the spring of next year. This year, all kinds of preparations will be made in advance, at least the mobilization of personnel will be successful.

People are only one aspect of it.

In fact, to do this well, there are two key points: one is the rails, and the other is the train.

Earthwork and roadbed filling are easy to say, and ballast and gravel are not high-tech.

The key is the rails. With the equipment in his hands, it is almost impossible to produce rails.

This requires Dennis and their steelmaking furnace to take shape as soon as possible.

Although such things as rails can be obtained with a little effort in modern society, Zhu Changyuan does not intend to transport them from modern society. What he wants is to produce them himself.

According to his plan, through the production of this orbit, at least a batch of production plants will be brought into being, new job opportunities will be provided for many people on the island, and the technological level of the entire world will also be improved.

Now he understands a little bit, to develop science and technology, it is not enough to rely solely on transporting things from modern society. While transporting, manpower and material resources must be used to the maximum, and we cannot always support a bunch of idlers.

The good news is that Dennis led a team of veterans with great enthusiasm for work. They were divided into ten small teams for the two projects, and each of the five teams was responsible for one piece. They made the steam engine invented by Dennis and the steelmaking proposed by Zhu Changyuan. furnace.

As for the raw materials, they were provided by Zhu Changyuan.

With the cooperation of the workers, according to the specifications designed by Lao Maozi, some people cut the steel plates, some welded them, and some were in charge of the circuit. A small steelmaking equipment was being installed little by little.

Zhu Changyuan was also very happy after seeing it, and it seems that these two projects will be ready for production in the next year, although the production efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

In order to ensure production, Zhu Changyuan needs to do another thing before the equipment is ready for production: prepare raw materials.

For example, whether steelmaking or steam engine trains need coal, coal mines must be mined.

Fortunately, there is a large open-pit coal mine in Fuxin City, and excavators are already mining it day and night.

After the coal mines are mined from the coal mountains, they are transported to the foot of the mountains by large vehicles exchanged from the system that are environmentally friendly and do not consume energy. Special personnel drive loaders to load the coal bit by bit onto the large ships.

And the ship stopped in the widened waterway of Daling River.

Once the [-]-ton ship is full, Zhu Changyuan can receive it into the system, and then take it to Riyue Island, and pile the coal on the ship in a special coal storage yard for future steelmaking and steam engines.

The problem of coal is solved, there is another problem: iron ore.

I have to say that Liaodong is really a good place, not only has open-pit coal mines, but also has open-pit iron mines.

Where is the iron ore?

Anshan!

Where is Anshan?

Just behind Gaizhou, on the south side of Liaoyang, there is a super large iron mine, the reserves are astonishing enough for Zhu Changyuan to use in his life, the key is still in the open air.

The only thing is that the location of the iron mine now belongs to Huang Taiji's territory, which is a bit difficult to handle.

Although the two parties have now negotiated a peace, Nima can't go to other people to dig mines swaggeringly. This is too disrespectful to others.

Zhu Changyuan made some investigations in modern society.

The largest open-pit iron mine in Anshan should be the Dagushan Iron Mine. Before mining in the parallel society, it should be a small hill with an altitude of about 300 meters and a radius of ten miles.

Known as the "Ten Mile Iron Mountain" in ancient times, it is at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, [-] kilometers away from Shenyang, and almost [-] kilometers away from Gaizhou City.

In other words, the so-called Ten Mile Iron Mountain is located between Shenyang and Gaizhou City.

Even if this iron mine is in a parallel world, it is actually no secret.

The so-called ten-mile iron mountain refers to the fact that this ten-mile-long small hill is almost a piece of scattered iron bumps, not only Zhu Changyuan knows it, but Huang Taiji also knows it.

Moreover, many of Huang Taiji's weapons use iron, and the source is here.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to take this mountain bag as their own and invest it in mechanical mining, not only because of the technical difficulty, but also because Huang Taiji would never be willing.

How to do?
beat!
Hitting people is a disadvantage. Zhu Changyuan has nothing to do to develop the economy. It is impossible to lead soldiers to fight every day. Therefore, it is best to find other ways, such as mutual benefit.

Therefore, with tentative ideas, Zhu Changyuan sent a mission of 30 people to visit Shenyang, and made a request to Huang Taiji to develop iron mines.

In order to show grandeur and importance, this time Zhu Changyuan sent Yan Hong, the backbone of Riyue Island, to negotiate with Huang Taiji on all matters related to the development of iron mines as the head of the envoy.

"Foreign Minister, Yan Hong, head of the Ming Dynasty envoys, see His Majesty the Qing Emperor, may His Majesty be in good health!"

Yan Hong bowed instead of kneeling, calling him a foreign minister and His Majesty Huang Taiji.

There is no way, in general, people have already established a country, which is no worse than the Chongzhen Emperor in the capital in terms of political status.

"Master Messenger has worked hard all the way, please sit down!"

In the main hall of Huang Taiji, someone specially moved a stool for Yan Hong, and Yan Hong was not polite, so he sat down and faced Huang Taiji on the imperial steps, but only moved up and down.

"King Yanming asked me to bring a gift to His Majesty in order to express his sincerity to enjoy peace with the Qing Dynasty forever!" Yan Hong waved his hand, and the following two people carried a motorcycle up and placed it on the main hall of Huang Taiji.

"This is?"

Although many products from Riyue Island have arrived in Liaodong, and even in the palace of Huang Taiji.For example, that watch, Huang Taiji now has one in his arms.

However, Huang Taiji had never seen this motorcycle that was not for sale, nor had the officials of the Qing Dynasty seen it, so everyone was quite amazed when they saw it.

"Motorcycle!" Yan Hong stood up, cupped his hands to Huang Taiji, and said, "Please allow the minister to demonstrate to His Majesty."

"Okay!" Huang Taiji was very interested, and brought a group of civil and military ministers to a long bluestone royal road in the palace to watch Yan Hong's motorcycle.

Yan Hong was not too polite, after starting the fire, he "buzzed" and galloped on the imperial road, his speed was so fast that it broke the watch, then he made a circle, ran back on the road, and stopped in front of all the ministers.

　It's similar to a concubine, good night, brothers, take it easy when rewarding, one chapter at a time will do. . .
