Chapter 1131 General Station of the Firearms Army under construction
Traveling around the small island of Twin Islands in the middle of the morning, Qu Mao deliberately asked Kong Ming to come to eat with him when eating at noon, and told Kong Ming that he needed to plant grass in the experimental site to prevent the sand from being blown into the sea by the sea breeze.
The 200-meter-square experimental site has a total area of 40,000 square meters. It is difficult to preserve the sand that is currently spread in it without planting grass, and even gravel cannot be preserved.
Kongming also confirmed that he spent a lot of effort to transport the sand from Jidao twice. As soon as Qu Mao said that Kongming realized the problem, he immediately said that he would contact Xuande immediately and let Xuande personally Send grass seeds and straw mats to Twin Islands midway.
First sprinkle grass seeds, pour fresh water, and then cover with a straw mat to prevent sand and gravel from being blown away by the sea breeze before the grass seeds grow.
Hearing this, Qu Mao said, "Kong Ming, since Xuande is coming, let him bring more grass seeds and straw mats. Such arrangements need to be made at the actual shooting site of the PLA, the playground of the Firearms Army, and the shooting site.”
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, my subordinate will get in touch with Master Xuande later, the Twin Islands on the way is such a benefit, you can use the magic communication crystal to communicate with any island in the Holy Land.
By the way, ask Master Xuande to bring some fresh water and sand. Midway, Gemini Island is relatively short of these things. The students of Firearms University use their morning wash water to water the saplings they planted.
My lord took a tour around the island in the morning and visited the Firearms University and the Firearms Research Institute under construction. Do you have any suggestions? "
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "The island's reservoir, power system, and wind power utilization facilities have not been built yet, so I don't have any good suggestions.
However, the freshmen of Huoqi University planted a tree seedling in Xuezilin manually. I think it can be persisted as a practice. Even if the area of 10,000 square meters is full, we can continue to develop new areas for subsequent students to plant tree seedlings. .
Also, September to December is the rainy season for the 15 islands in the Holy Land. I don’t know if it’s the rainy season for the Midway Twin Islands. It is still necessary. "
Kong Ming nodded, took out a pen and paper, and said while recording: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have written it down.
Planting and taking care of new trees, on the one hand, can reduce the consumption of our afforestation on the Midway Twin Islands, and on the other hand, the survival rate of trees will become higher.
Because of the commemorative significance, the new students are very dedicated to taking care of the tree seedlings. The survival rate of tree planting will increase, and it will also reduce our waste in afforestation.
Trees have been planted, which is of great help to us in conserving the water and soil on Midway Twin Islands.
After all, after we have come, Midway Twin Islands will no longer be a deserted island, but will become an inhabited island, so Midway Twin Islands must be transformed into a livable island. "
Qu Mao nodded, stopped talking, and began to eat lunch seriously.
Kong Ming continued to ask: "My lord, what is your next plan for Midway Twin Islands?"
Qu Mao said: "Since we have come to Midway Twin Islands and Xiaodao has seen it, we should naturally go to the construction site of Dadao Firearms Army General Station."
Kong Ming nodded and said, "My lord, you can go there after lunch. You can either wade through the water or take a shuttle boat. After the navy delivered supplies, a total of 20 shuttle boats were left on Twin Islands midway.
Li Xiang is now on the big island, leading the construction staff to build the general garrison of the firearms army. He has already been on duty to build a zero-level barracks. The musketeers and artillery soldiers of the firearms army who are not on the small island are currently mainly stationed in the zero-level barracks. Most of the staff were construction workers brought by Li Xiang. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Kong Ming, go and do your work, I will arrange it myself."
At noon on July 19, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao found a shuttle boat after eating lunch on the small island, and asked two Musketeers to row him to the big island of Twin Islands midway.
After walking less than three kilometers on the big island, Qu Mao saw Li Xiang.
Li Xiangyuan planned to come to say hello to Qu Mao, and introduce to Qu Mao the construction arrangement of the twin islands on the way, but Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Li Xiang from coming, and told Li Xiang that he wanted to take a stroll on the big island.
At 4:00 p.m., Qu Mao finally climbed up the highest mountain on the Big Island. Looking around, Qu Mao couldn't help but feel ashamed.
At the beginning, Qu Mao felt that the construction site on the big island was far less busy than the construction site on the small island. He thought that Kong Ming focused on the small island. Li Xiang should still be in the stage of surveying the terrain and planning the construction.
But I didn’t expect that on the other side of the highest peak, at least nearly a thousand people are working intensively. Some are cleaning the edge of the valley, and some are building a water retention dam. Of course, more people are in the valley on the other side of the highest peak. Tidy up the bottom of the library.
Apparently, the place near the highest peak on the southwest side of Dadao is where Li Xiang will build the Dadao Reservoir.
Qu Mao made a visual inspection: after the completion of the entire reservoir, it is estimated that the top of the reservoir will have a diameter of at least 300 meters, and the bottom of the reservoir will also have a diameter of at least 100 meters. The normal water-holding depth will be 50 meters, and the full-load water-holding depth should exceed 80 meters.
This means that the fresh water in the entire reservoir is enough to meet the drinking needs of 100,000 people for half a year, provided, of course, that the evaporation does not occur too quickly.
On the mountainside of the highest mountain, there are also many engineering and technical workers who are digging holes in the ground with steel drills.
Qu Mao watched from the top of the peak for a while, then walked towards the engineers and technicians who dug the hole, and asked, "What are you doing?"
An engineer and technician stopped their work, wiped the sweat off his face, and replied: "My lord, under the order of Lord Li Xiang, a circular pit with a depth of two meters and a diameter of one meter is dug here, and The excavated stones should be crushed and backfilled to plant seedlings brought from Liandao Green Forest Town.
Master Li Xiang said that if there are not enough trees to cover the reservoir, even if it is full of water after the completion of the reservoir, it will not be able to withstand the sun's transpiration for a month. "
Qu Mao nodded to express his approval, and said: "Tell Li Xiang that the shooting range and playground of the Firearms Army should also learn from the small island."
The skilled worker said with a smile: "Yes, my lord, the subordinates will tell you.
What Mr. Li Xiang thinks of now is to dig a well with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 5 meters at the bottom of the reservoir under construction, fill it with all the fresh water we finally transported, and put it in it for 10 days from Yidao The small fish caught in the Haihe River will even cover the mouth of the well with a cloth in hot weather, which is a treasure. "
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and cursed: "All nonsense."
