Great time travel

Chapter 58 Arrival and Departure

Lingao County, located on a small highland surrounded by moats, overlooking the Bairen City in Dongmen City, the "high-end" apartment where the veterans of the traverser lived

"...beep—"

Along with the shrill siren calling workers to go to work, Lingao County ushered in another busy morning.

The morning glow rises in the distant mountains, gradually turning the night into a bright passage, and the clouds in the sky gradually change their colors. Looking from the window of the apartment building, the entire Dongmen City adjacent to Bairen New City, They are all surrounded by fire and dust, just like in the chaos where light and darkness are not divided-in the faint morning light and the loud sound of sirens, the city that has slept all night begins to gradually wake up.

(The relationship between Bairen City, where travelers live and bustling Dongmen City, is probably the relationship between ancient Japanese castles and castle towns.)
Although the sky is not yet bright, early morning stalls have been set up on the distant streets, and there are people who get up early to go to work and farmers who come to the city to sell vegetables and fruits.Looking closer, the neighbors also started to burn coal for breakfast, making the inside and outside of the corridor filled with smoke for a while.

——At this moment, the "Lingaojiao Palace" where the "Australian ***" used to stay is empty, and the officers, soldiers and staff of the People's Liberation Army who were originally stationed have also left the city, like a group of people coming and going in a hurry Passers-by—After the opening of the Lingao-Sanya railway, the Chinese government in the modern world quickly ordered the sanatorium to be relocated to Sanya, where the climate is more comfortable, the scenery is more beautiful and charming, and the environment is more suitable for recuperation.

However, the various changes they brought to the city will not disappear—although under the rule and construction of the Lingao Traversing Group, the original speed of development and change of this place has already made people get used to it. The people of the Ming Dynasty, who lived in an unchanging agricultural society, were greatly shocked.

Looking down from the window of the apartment building, in the yard of the laundry room next door, the dark, thin, lazy Vietnamese maid was once again kicked out by the vicious auntie wielding a rattan cane, and had to pout Whip the two little donkeys to vent their anger, and at the same time put the two animals on the mechanism, and then turn it around like a mill, so as to drive the animal-powered washing machine and start washing clothes with a clatter...

——This kind of animal-powered washing machine is a "technical" achievement developed here by a soldier of the People's Liberation Army in his spare time, and then tinkered with the finished product with the help of several Ming Dynasty carpenters.The principle of this original washing machine is very simple. It is to install a crankshaft on a large corrugated iron bucket, cooperate with the connecting rod gear, and be driven by the animal to make the crankshaft instead of the wave wheel rotate continuously, driving the clothes to go up and down. , left and right constantly turning, so that the clothes, between the clothes and the barrel wall, are rubbed in the water, and the decontamination and cleaning are realized under the action of the detergent, and even have the function of pressing and dehydrating. Compared with the modern washing machine , except that it is more troublesome to fill the water, all the functions are almost the same.

In addition to this animal-powered washing machine, there is also a small manual washing machine for household use, which uses a handle to drive the crankshaft. Just turn the handle like a stone mill to stir the water and clothes in the bucket.In addition, there is a steam-powered model with a larger body-any normal modern person in the 21st century will instinctively consider how to replace backward manpower and animal power with advanced machinery, but that kind of steam washing machine is basically only known by the military. Purchasing, of course, the performance is more advanced, water supply and drainage only need to pull the handle of a peripheral device on time.

In addition, some people have tried to produce wind-powered washing machines. Unfortunately, although the technical difficulty is not high, they have encountered insurmountable obstacles in practical application-any highland where windmills are convenient to build is usually some distance from populated areas. Trekking long distances with big baskets of dirty clothes is quite a pain in the ass.And the supply of washing water is also very problematic.In addition, the wind is not always there, but the dirty clothes are changed every day.Given the hot and humid climate of Hainan Island, it is usually not possible to store dirty clothes for too long, otherwise they will become moldy and hairy...

In short, with the explosive development of Lingao's power sector, most of the veterans' homes have achieved 24-hour power supply, and used the original time-space intelligent automatic washing machine.But for those families who are reluctant to spend money on electricity, and those rural rich peasants who live far away from urban areas without electricity supply, but want to pursue "foreign style", there is still a certain market for this kind of manual or animal-powered original washing machine.

And in the cafeteria on the other side of the apartment building, several chefs who have not yet mastered ramen skills also began to make noodles with noodle presses-this kind of machine that is still used by many vendors until the 21st century is driven by hand. , the size is small, and the structure is very simple. The main structure is a rotating bucket with a stirring stick. There are two pairs of rolling pins that can rotate automatically. One pair is a flat stick that is paired together. A rolling pin with grooves.When using this kind of machine, the noodle maker doesn't even have to mix the noodles, just pour the noodles and water into the rotating bucket, let the noodle maker press it with two pairs of flat sticks, and what comes out is broken and rotten. A piece of tattered facecloth that can hardly be joined together.After pressing out a few hundred catties of tattered face cloth, take down the rotary bucket, replace it with a dustpan, narrow the distance between the flat rods, put the tattered face cloth back in and let the machine press it, and add water to wet it when it is dry. Added noodles... What came out this time was already a slightly damaged thick cloth that was connected together.After pressing all the broken noodles into thick noodles, then reduce the distance between the flat sticks and replace them with a pair of concave sticks, and then you can use thick noodles to press out very decent noodles.

Although the noodles produced by this gadget seem to be inferior to handmade Lanzhou noodles in terms of taste, the efficiency is much higher. A machine can press out one or two tons of noodles within 24 hours.If you don’t want to press noodles, you can still use a flat stick for the third pressing, and you can press out a uniform thin noodle cloth for making pancakes and spring rolls... Due to limited experience, the previous Lingao traversers did not expect this kind of noodle magic tool.When the People's Liberation Army and all kinds of scientific researchers who traveled over here accidentally brought this thing together with the popcorn machine to test the water, it was immediately well received, and it was highly praised by the chefs of restaurants and dining halls in Lingao and visiting fleets. There are even some Cantonese businessmen who want to wholesale this stuff and go to Guangzhou to sell it...

——Even some seemingly simple manual machines can actually bring obvious convenience to people's daily life.

All in all, these "people from the central government" have brought countless changes to the local society, involving almost every aspect of daily life.

But in any case, as the "people from the central government" left Lingao one after another and moved to the new base in Sanya, the market in Lingao has returned to the original rhythm of life, and the natives of the Ming Dynasty with hair buns and shaved The "naturalized people" with short hair also gradually regained their former calm and composure.

Even a few days ago, the two crocodile-class landing ships of the Vladivostok Far East Company finally crossed the Sea of ​​Japan, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea to visit this place from a long distance, but they did not cause much disturbance in the market.In addition to the hundreds of tons of Northeast specialties brought in by the ship, which attracted a lot of attention in the market, the residents of Lingao who have had enough visual stimulation recently did not take these two landing ships seriously—compared to The airship group of the "Australian Royal Army" covering the sky and the sun, what are your big iron ships?Besides, it's not like Lingao doesn't have iron boats...

However, for some people, their fate is changed forever...

As time goes on, the sun rises higher and higher in the sky.When the hour hand of the alarm clock turned to seven o'clock, and the aroma of various foods began to waft from the corridor, the newly installed internal broadcasting system in the apartment building also began to make a rustling sound.

The opening of the morning broadcast, as usual, is a majestic and passionate "March of Athletes", followed by today's morning news, except for a few local current events, the main content is a " government working report":
"...With the concern of the party and the country, and with the efforts of all comrades, our company (after the central government intervened in the reorganization, all transmigration groups have theoretically become colonial companies. Of course, they can still call themselves a certain country) The first five-year plan of the Communist Party of China has basically been overfulfilled ahead of schedule. This is inseparable from the hard work and sweat of all comrades, as well as the support and funding of the central government...

In terms of agriculture, during the first five-year plan period, the new agriculture of scientific cultivation and scientific planting implemented by the company has achieved considerable results in Lingao, Changhua, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou, and 11563 farmers in the jurisdiction have participated in the registration as members , new seeds of rice, soybeans, corn and other food crops have been promoted on a large scale, and the potato test field in Kaohsiung, Taiwan has also enjoyed a bumper harvest. The fertilizer production line is completed and put into operation, and the grain output of Hainan Island will surely reach another level.

In addition, industrial parks for cash crops such as cotton and castor on the island have also begun to take shape; the tea gardens purchased in Hangzhou have already produced the first batch of new tea; Establishment; tropical crops such as coffee, cocoa, and tobacco are also growing well, but due to the lack of sufficient chemical fertilizers before, the growth rate is relatively slow. It is planned to expand the planting area during the next five-year plan... Recently obtained high technology from the central government The crops are still in the trial planting stage, and the specific situation needs further feedback.

In terms of breeding industry, Nanhai Farm in Lingao County currently has four poultry farms, some of which are raised in captivity and some of which are intensively raised. On average, they can produce 1500 chicken and duck eggs and 3000 poultry per day.After the expansion of high-quality egg poultry breeding, the number of farmers in the jurisdiction has further increased the number of self-breeding, and there is no case of large-scale spread of poultry diseases.The first batch of livestock has basically bred into colonies, and the meat, pork, beef, and rabbit farms have begun to take shape, and can provide [-] tons of fresh meat and meat products every day.It is planned to further popularize poultry intensive breeding technology to the people in the future, so as to enrich the supply of non-staple food for the general public.

In terms of fishery, the company has not carried out marine aquaculture, because the catch of ocean fishing alone is enough to meet the basic needs. The food processing factory and fishery wharf can produce 15000 tons of chilled seafood every day. Rope nets made of fibers such as cotton and linen are difficult to further expand the catch output, and the catch output can only be increased after the organic chemical industry is upgraded.Large quantities of fishing gear have been imported from the modern world to meet the emergency.In addition, the first whaling fleet has already set anchor, and it is expected that within a month, the people on the island will be able to eat locally produced canned whale meat...

In terms of mining and metallurgy, the iron and steel complex project of this phase has been successfully completed, and a special blast furnace has been established. The output and variety of steel products have been comprehensively improved. Silicon steel, manganese steel and other special steels have begun preliminary trial production and achieved excellent results. Spring steel , Stainless steel will be trial-produced after the non-ferrous metal raw materials are resolved. At present, the exploration of non-ferrous metal deposits in Changhua, Qionghai and other places and Shilu Iron Mine has been completed, and the development project of Shilu Iron Mine is underway.The Planning Institute is currently relocating the entire Sanya slave camp to Changhua Port so that the nearby Shilu Iron Mine can be mined.

In terms of electricity, the general policy is to dismantle it into parts. Except for the super-heavy industrial area, Fangcaodi School, and Lingao Hospital, the power supply of Bairentan Hydropower Station and Thermal Power Station is still the main power supply, and other factories and mines use independent power supply. , the original grid cable is used as a backup power supply circuit.In this way, the insurance factor can be increased to prevent power outage accidents from causing irreparable huge losses to the industrial zone.

After entering this year, the island's power industry has made breakthroughs and made great progress. Not only has the installed capacity of Bairentan Hydropower Station tripled, but Nanbao Hydropower Station, Maqiu Hydropower Station, and Lingaojiao Tidal Power Station have also been built. It is complemented by a powered hydroelectric plant and several experimental solar power plants.Even without counting the power generation of Sanya New City directly under the central government, the total power generation of the island has increased by more than ten times. With the help of the central government, the self-production of tungsten filament light bulbs, electric fans, simple electric stoves, and rice cookers has been preliminarily realized, thus greatly improving the quality of life of the people.

In terms of telecommunications and transportation, relying on the strong support of the central government, the Hainan Island Ring Road and the attached ring road have been successfully completed. However, due to the shortage of cars and the difficulty in fuel supply, the roads are still dominated by horse-drawn carts and ox carts.In order to solve this problem, the comrades proposed to import gasoline from the Sakhalin Oilfield of Vladivostok Far East Company, try to develop coalification oil technology, seize and exploit the Borneo oilfield, and completely use electric vehicles.As for which plan to adopt, the Executive Committee is still discussing and considering it, and has submitted it to the central government for guidance.

In addition, with the completion of the Ring Road, the wired telegraph network covered all counties and cities in the entire Hainan jurisdiction.At present, Lingao and Sanya already have local telephone networks, and long-distance calls have been opened between the two cities.It is expected that more telephone networks will be laid in Qiongzhou, Changhua and other places in the future.Outside the island, relying on the newly built Hong Kong Longhushan base station and Kaohsiung base station, cross-sea communication has been initially realized. Vietnam’s Hongji base station construction project was interrupted by the war not long ago and is currently under preparation.Some of the Navy's newer ships are already equipped with radios..."

Then, there was only a "click", and a slender hand pulled the switch pull cord on the wall forcefully, so that the sound of the broadcast stopped abruptly.

——Although this very detailed "Government Work Report" is related to the vital interests of every member of the Lingao Travelers Senate, and even every subordinate "naturalized citizen".But for the 13-year-old "Girl Veteran" Jin Lingxue, it has no practical significance at all.

Because, at this time, Jin Lingxue had already packed her luggage, and was about to leave forever this world that did not leave her many good memories...
