Inland Shipping System
Chapter 152 Inland Shipping System
The coal deep processing industry designed by relevant personnel for the development of Heitu Port is mainly based on coke and coking by-products, namely coal tar. The technical difficulty of extracting pitch from coal tar is not difficult, and production can be completed locally.However, substances such as naphthalene, benzene, and phenol, which are more difficult to extract, were not included in this plan from the beginning.Even if these things are in the base camp, they will not be able to be industrialized in the short term, because the various high-temperature and high-pressure equipment required for the production process will not be manufactured for a while.
Even so, since the base camp is in a period of development, there is a long-term and large demand for high-quality coke and asphalt. These two projects are enough to make the supporting industries of Heitu Port in a state of short supply for a long time.
After listening to Qiao Zhiya's explanation, Ning Qi nodded and said: "These people will find a way... But it is also a good thing for the base camp, saving the effort of building a coke oven here, and we can also get it with our current limited sea transportation capacity. More efficient use. With asphalt, we should have blacktop main roads just around the corner, right?"
Meng He also excitedly added: "With the asphalt road, the speed of travel between the two places can be at least twice that of the current dirt road, and we don't need so many people to maintain the road frequently."
"Not so fast." Tao Donglai shook his head and denied their fantasy: "Tom also said just now that the management committee over there expects to reach a monthly production of 15 tons of coal by the end of the year after the coal mine is put into operation. The coking coal over there only accounts for about 1% of the total reserves, so let's assume that they mine anthracite and coking coal at a ratio of 1:[-]. They can mine a thousand tons of coking coal every month, and the bitumen they can produce after coking is only twenty Ton. What is the concept of using this bit of asphalt to pave the road? According to the construction standard of asphalt concrete pavement, it is calculated on the basis of a three-meter-wide road. The main roads are paved with asphalt. The asphalt needed is estimated to be about [-] tons. Heitu Port can’t produce so much in a year or so. Rather than paving the road section by section, I think it should be used as a waterproof coating first. let's go."
Tao Donglai had been in this business before, so his words were naturally highly authoritative, so the hope of the asphalt road was immediately shattered before everyone's eyes.
However, Schneider, a financial expert in the executive committee, has noticed the deep meaning behind this industrial layout: "Heitu Port wants to start producing coke and asphalt, it seems that they have a lot of ideas about the local profit part after the independent settlement within the group! "
After being reminded by Schneider, Tao Donglai also came to his senses: "They have a good plan! By the way, Tom, who came up with this idea first? Gu Kai or Tian Yeyou?"
Tom Wang hesitated for a moment before returning, "It was proposed by Qian Tiandun."
Tom Wang knew a little bit about some of Qian Tiandun's plans. If Tao Donglai hadn't taken the initiative to ask, he didn't intend to mention this detail in the report.After all, the civil servants are very sensitive to the various development plans of the military and police department. If they realize that Qian Tiandun has other ideas, then the "mountain organization" in Heitu Port may die before it even starts.
Tao Donglai obviously didn't expect such an unexpected result from the question, his expression on his face was a little stiff, but he is considered an old man, so he immediately slapped a haha and bypassed the topic: "Small money economy The brains are pretty good too. It seems that we chose the right people at the beginning! In my opinion, the implementation of the black soil port plan is not too difficult. We can let them try in this direction, after all, it will benefit the development of both sides. benefit."
Regarding Qian Tiandun's plan, Tao Donglai, one of the directors of the military and police department, naturally knew about it a long time ago. A development plan to help Black Earth Port increase its income. The "mountain establishment" plan is a high-level secret within the Military and Police Department, and only a few people know the details. Tao Donglai naturally does not want to expose this secret project to the executive committee prematurely.
Fortunately, the people present at the meeting didn't notice the petty tricks between the two, and Tao Donglai took this topic over smoothly.This plan to develop coal supporting industries is beneficial to both parties, and the Executive Committee does not want to provide financial support to Heitu Port for too long. After all, the new colonization point must have self-hemopoietic ability, and this can be regarded as a successful colonial operation. , so the Executive Committee must be happy to see the plan proposed by the Heitu Port Management Committee, and then the executive committee members present unanimously passed the decision to help related projects technically and financially.
Although the coal mine in Heitu Port has not yet been put into operation, the base camp has already begun to prepare for future coal input, and various departments have begun to formulate corresponding development plans.
First of all, Shengli Port will build a new dedicated cargo terminal, which will be located on the west side of the existing terminal of Shengli Port.The Ministry of Construction plans to build six to eight freight trestles here, which will be able to accommodate ten to sixteen large commercial ships to berth at the same time in the future.In the design of berths, the development progress of future shipping vessels has also been fully considered. The largest berthing berth is directly designed according to a large ship with a displacement of [-] tons.The wharf will be connected to the main road between Shengli Port and Tiandu by a dedicated channel.
The first passenger-cargo dual-use railway in Sanya is still under planning. The cargo terminal here is the terminal of the first phase of the project. After the railway is opened to traffic in the future, coal and other goods that arrive at Shengli Port by sea can be Loading vehicles directly on the wharf and transporting them to the inland of Tiandu by rail will far exceed the efficiency of the current oxcart transportation system, greatly saving the time for transshipment on the road.
The plan of the Ministry of Construction is to start the two major projects of the coal transport terminal and the railway at the same time in the second half of the year. Although the technical content of these two projects is not particularly high, the number of laborers to be used is quite large. Compared with the previous hydropower project If it goes too far, it will be another great test for Ning Qi's human resources department.
The Ministry of Construction hopes that the wharf will be completed before the Spring Festival next year, while the progress of the railway may be relatively slow, and even if it is completed, steam locomotives may not be available immediately.Relevant departments are quite sure that they will build a relatively mature coal-fired steam engine within this year, but they are not too sure whether they can build a steam train before the railway is completed. Although the principles of the two things are similar, the difficulty of manufacturing is different. There is a big difference, and it is hard to say that it may be necessary to use the cow trailer leather first.
However, the executive committee did not intend to hang on a tree. In addition to the railway plan on land, the relevant departments also jointly designed an inland river transportation system, preparing to make full use of the shipping capacity of the Tiandu River.
This transportation system is mainly composed of two kinds of ships, flat-bottomed cargo ships and steam-powered tugboats.The flat-bottomed cargo ships were designed according to the inland barges of later generations, with a designed load capacity of about ten tons. Every three to four ships formed a fleet, and a tugboat with [-] horsepower provided forward power.
Of course, if you must tow a few more ships, you can actually sail slowly on the river. The problem is that the upper reaches of the Tiandu River are extremely narrow and have many bends. It will be more troublesome to move forward.
This kind of inland river fleet can directly receive unloaded goods at the cargo terminal of Shengli Port, and then sail into the inland river directly to Tiandu Industrial Zone.Although the speed is not much faster than the bullock carts currently in use, the weight of the goods that can be transported in the same time has doubled several times.Before the land rail transportation system is put into use, the Executive Committee intends to use this transportation system as the main channel for freight.Even if the steam locomotives to and from Tiandu Shengli Port pass in the future, this kind of inland river fleet will also be a good capacity supplement.
The Executive Committee did not only focus on the Tiandu River when it came out with this system. In fact, the future development of the Sanya area is the time for this inland waterway shipping system to show its strengths.In the Sanya area, there are two large rivers with excellent navigability, the Linchun River and the Sanya River, and the dense water network makes it impossible to lay a large-scale rail transit system here. The inland waterway shipping system will become the main force of inland transportation in this area.Now building this river transportation system on the Tiandu River is also accumulating relevant experience for the future development and construction of the Sanya area.
In addition, there is another extremely important inland river transportation site on Hainan Island, which is the Shilu Iron Mine located in the inland area of the west coast of Hainan.The local situation is much more complicated than that of Shengli Port. The straight-line distance from Shilu Iron Mine to Changhua Port by the sea is more than 40 kilometers, which is more than four times the distance from Tiandu Iron Mine to the sea port. It is extremely difficult to imitate the construction of a land passage between Shengli Port and Tiandu, and the manpower, material and financial resources and time invested are unbearable in the early stage of development.
The only feasible way of transportation is to take a boat from Changhua Port upstream along the Shilu River to reach the vicinity of the iron mine.According to the distance shown on the satellite map of later generations, the mining area is only a little more than one kilometer away from the nearest river channel. At that time, it is completely possible to build a track between the river channel and the mining area, and then transport the iron ore out through the inland river transportation system.
This process may seem cumbersome, but for the Executive Committee, which is determined to build the island's largest coal-iron composite base near Changhua, it is not a problem at all.Apart from the Shilu Iron Mine, which has abundant reserves, the biggest advantage is that it is close to Heitu Port. It only takes a little more than two days for a Chinese sailboat to run one way, which is much closer than the distance to Shengli Port. Half, this is already doomed that the cost of steel production in the Shilu-Changhua area will be much lower than that in the base camp in the future.
