Today was the 19th of August, and only 12 days were left before the month ended.
Right now, there where currently 5200 men who were assigned to construct these sites, 1000 men who were building the greenhouse, and 6000 workers who were doing road construction in the District E.
So far only the Water & Sewage plant, as well as the power plant have been completed.
While the central heating heating plant was only 98% done, as the workers were still installing essential fixtures like sinks, to all buildings on the site.
Since the first 2 plants were done, Landon decided to start teaching the men how to operate both plants, as well as assign some workers to start placing underground electrical wires from the power plant to District E.
For the 5,200 men who were previously assigned at the construction sites, Landon divided them up like so:
•1000 workers to complete construction on the Central heating Plant.
•700 workers to operate the water & Sewage Plant.
•500 workers to operate the Power plant.
•And 3,000 workers to place electrical cables alongside the roads.
These new industries basically needed chemical engineers, alchemists, electrical engineers and so on.
Hence Landon requested that some of the electrical engineers in training, should be placed in each site.
As well as some of the Alchemists, who would be trained to chemical engineers.
On the other hand, the mechanical and civil engineers would definitely come from the construction workers whom he had assigned to the plants.
Chief Tim and Chief Wiggins, were also to appoint supervisors for every sector within these plants.
For example in the water & sewage plant, after the water leaves the sea and travels through the pipes, it would go to a 300 sq foot building.
This building has different equipments used for filtering out any sand particles, or hard rocks from the water... As well fishes that made their way to the building.
In that stage of water processing, Landon wanted 2 supervisors in charge of all mechanical and chemical processes involved within the building.
They were to supervise all activities taking place in that building before the water leaves and goes to the next processing stage.
Although Landon needed guards and cooks within these plants, he didn’t want to assign any just yet, at least until September... For now, the men would still have their food brought into sector 1 by trucks.
Landed decided that for these first 4 days, he would alternate between both plants.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
Today, he would only be teaching the workers in the Power plant how to operate the plant.... and the next day, he would do the same for those assigned to the Water & Sewage Treatment Plant.
Landon decided to use this 4 days to give them an intense theoretical lecture on both plants.
And for the remaining 8 days, all the workers from both plants would officially start their training.
Within this 8 day period, Landon had decided that he would spend his mornings in the Power plant... And for the afternoons, he would spend it within the Water & sewage treatment plant.
.
Once the men arrived at the 2nd sector, Landon began his lecture.
.
7 days had gone by, and both plants now shared electricity and water between them.
At this point, the Central heating plant was completed.. hence Landon kept 500 workers to operate the plant, and sent the other 500 to aid in installing underground cables along the roads.
And just like that, the last day of August had arrived.
As for the workers, they now felt a little more confident in their plant operation skills and knowledge.
Granted, they made a lot of errors on their first few days, but Landon had expected as much.
Hence he wasn’t worried about their learning pace, after all they still had the whole September to learn brush up their skills.
When it concerned learning, no matter how many years one spent in school, nothing could compare to actually doing the procedures.
One could spend 4 years studying chemical engineering... but that didn’t mean that if that same person went to an oil plant, that person would automatically know what to do.
Knowledge without practice was useless on the field.
Back on earth, there were people who had never gone to school before, but they could fix any machine, car or engine, just because they had been taught on the job.
And even those who had spent 10 years working on oil plants, didn’t know everything about their jobs.
While on the job, new problems would definitely arise daily, making everyday different from the next..
It was impossible to know everything at once.
In schools, people would sometimes cram a lot of information, just so that they could graduate.
That was why practice was important, as well as schooling... both went hand in hand.
So he had first spent his time teaching them the theory, before showing them how the plant actually operated.
Right now, Landon didn’t need them to know everything... he just needed them to learn at their own pace, and safely operate the plant.
The more they did, the more they would remember.
I mean.. he couldn’t possibly put them through 4 years of schooling, before finally allowing them to work on the plants could he?
The only way was to learn on the job.
As for the workers, they truly liked their new work environment..... especially because they could use the ’toilet’, soap and tissue paper.
And don’t get them started on the magical light tubes that shines brightly at night, when they pulled the tiny switch upwards.
These plant sites were like heaven to them....
Right now, they all had one question in mind:
When was their king going to start residential construction?
