Crude oil extracted from the ground by the pumping unit is added to a series of refining processes such as distillation towers to refine petrochemical products such as lubricating oil, diesel oil, kerosene, gasoline, etc., and then stored in different categories.As for the tall drilling rig that Liu Shanxia imagined should be on the oil field, it had already been disassembled into parts and piled up in a nearby warehouse. He asked Wang Hui about it curiously.
"It is not difficult to drill a few more oil wells here, but the difficulty is that our processing, storage and transportation are currently in a bottleneck state, and increasing production capacity is not something that can be done with a single sentence." Wang Hui patiently explained to him : "The current situation here is what you can see. The production capacity of crude oil is very low, but the subsequent processing capacity has become saturated. It is difficult to make a profit in such a production situation. Only by relying on state subsidies can we maintain operations, but Who would be interested in a project that pays back money? So over time, it becomes a vicious circle.”
In Wang Hui's view, this is a manifestation of the executive committee's lack of awareness of the importance of the petrochemical industry and the lack of long-term development vision. To turn Miaoli's petrochemical industry into a profit, it must first increase investment. All aspects of the technology upgrade.However, it is conceivable that such investment will be huge. The Ministry of Industry will wait for a breakthrough in the application stage of petrochemical products and confirm that the relevant industries have sufficient expected benefits before increasing capital investment and increasing production capacity through technological upgrades.
The positions are different, and the views on this matter are naturally different.Liu Shanxia comforted: "Now the Executive Committee plans to build roads and improve the infrastructure here, which is to prepare for the expansion of petrochemical production capacity. This meal still has to be eaten bite by bite, and many things can't be rushed."
Wang Hui sighed and said, "That's true, but I haven't made any substantial progress during my tenure, and I still feel a little ashamed of the country after all. I have compiled a few work notes this year, and I hope my work report can be useful to Petrochemical The upgrading of the industry will help!"
Liu Shanxia was not sure whether Wang Hui had real feelings or false feelings. This person obviously wanted to end his term of office and leave this place soon, but he seemed to regret that he had not achieved decent work results.But after seeing the environment here, Liu Shanxia can actually understand Wang Hui's feelings a little bit. After all, under the current conditions, there is no room for him to display his professional ability. Since he can't do anything practical, it is understandable to want to leave here as soon as possible.Wang Hui is not suitable for the current position. Perhaps if he returns to Sanya to continue his research, he can play a greater role.
If Liu Shanxia was asked to evaluate the working conditions of the oil production area, he would probably think that this is only at the level of a small workshop, which is far from enough to be called a petrochemical industry.There are less than a hundred workers in the entire work area, which is not even as good as Tian's single production workshop.If he hadn't been very clear about the significance of oil in promoting industrialization, he might have doubted whether it was worth investing a lot of resources in such a place as Miaoli Nong.
Of course, the people Liu Shanxia saw at this time were far more than those who actually worked for the local petrochemical industry.According to Wang Hui, the work distribution in the oil production area is three shifts, and the staff establishment exceeds 300 people.The number of supporting units and logistics personnel serving the oil production area is even larger. Together with their family members and an army company stationed locally, the total population is about 200 people.This population size is definitely not a small place among Haihan's overseas colonies, but this situation is likely to change in the next few months.
For safety reasons, these people’s daily activities are basically in the oil production area, and all the various institutions that a standard Haihan town should have are here, such as the management committee, police station, school, collective canteen, clinic, Propaganda agency... Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. After Liu Shanxia saw it, it changed his impression of this place.Although there is a single industry here, the social order is well-organized, and it is not as closed as he subconsciously thought when he first arrived here.This reminded him of some state-owned factories and mines in the old time and space, such a small society of its own.
"The level of social development here is definitely not comparable to that of a trading port city like Sanya, but the local people know why they are here and for whom they are working hard. The names and deeds of these people will not appear on the headlines of Haihan Times But they also deserve our respect." Wang Hui took Liu Shanxia around the residential area here, and explained some of his views to him: "We can leave here after finishing our work and return to a place with a better living environment. places, but they can’t, and many of them may spend their entire lives here. If possible, I still hope to create better living conditions for these people.”
The residential area here is still the collective dormitory planned by Liu Shanxia when he came here. The living conditions are not good. The two-storey small building with brick and stone structure is separated by a wooden floor in the middle. Each family lives in one room, with baths and toilets. For public facilities, eat in collective canteens.When the Time Travel Group first arrived in Sanya, the first batch of collective dormitories built by the time travelers had such a structure. When Liu Shanxia saw these dormitory buildings, he couldn't help but recall the scene more than ten years ago.
In the past few years, the financial investment in Miaoli has been limited, and presumably there is no extra funds that can be used to improve the living conditions of the local people.However, Liu Shanxia noticed that the road surface here is very smooth, and almost all the main roads are paved with a layer of asphalt, which is probably one of the few relatively high-grade infrastructure facilities in this place.
Such roads are rare in overseas colonies of Haihan, but Liu Shanxia has actually seen asphalt pavement in another place, and that is the black soil port in the Beibu Gulf.However, what is used locally is coal tar pitch, a by-product of coal coking, and here in Miaoli is the residual petroleum pitch after crude oil distillation. There is still a slight difference between the two.Since Haihan's chemical industry is relatively primitive at present, the asphalt produced after local oil refining is not very useful for the time being, and it will cause pollution if it accumulates, so it happens to be used to pave the road.
"In the future, the arterial road from the oil production area to the seaside port can be paved with local materials to build a high-grade highway!" Liu Shanxia didn't want to discuss social philosophy with Wang Hui in depth, so he decisively changed the topic to the task of his trip superior.
Wang Hui replied: "It took two or three years to complete the paving of these roads in the oil production area. If calculated based on the current production capacity, it would not take seven or eight years to complete the tens of miles of roads you mentioned. time?"
Liu Shanxia said: "Be optimistic. It shouldn't take that long. As long as the executive committee decides to increase the crude oil production capacity here, the supply of asphalt will also increase accordingly. As long as the funds are managed and the supply of labor and materials is sufficient, the construction It's actually fast."
Liu Shanxia was not talking about the scene. After arriving in Miaoli, he only rested for one day, and the next day he took his entourage to survey the terrain and plan the road construction plan.Wang Hui still sent Gao Cong and a team of people to follow. On the one hand, he would serve as Liu Shanxia's assistant and part-time guide, and on the other hand, he could protect their safety.
Wang Hui also received the long-awaited news that the Ministry of Industry has confirmed his departure arrangements, and the next official has set off from Sanya to Miaoli and will arrive in a few days.This can be regarded as a relief for Wang Hui, and he also took the initiative to share the good news with Liu Shanxia.
However, the countdown before leaving office was not so easy to dawdle, and then I received a telegram from the north, asking the Miaoli area to organize the construction of resettlement sites as soon as possible, and prepare to receive the first batch of immigrants from Shandong.
Considering the staffing situation in Miaoli, it may be difficult to receive and resettle a large number of immigrants, and there will also be a shortage of living materials. The civil affairs department has made overall arrangements for food, clothing, medicine and other living materials. Recently, It will be transported to Miaoli. At the same time, a group of people with experience in resettlement work will be organized from Penghu, Zhoushan and other places to come to Miaoli for reinforcements, so as to ensure that the immigrants will not be in disorder due to the lack of corresponding organizational management measures. .
So Wang Hui had to put away his excitement and start preparing for receiving immigrants.Regarding the location selection of resettlement sites, the relevant departments have long planned, and it happens that Liu Shanxia is also in Miaoli, so he can help check it out.
Since Miaoli does not have a decent shipping industry at all, it is different from Haihan’s other overseas colonies in that these immigrants were not transported back by Miaoli’s own fleet, but were arranged by the executive committee. When the people went south, they notified Miaoli to prepare for resettlement work.And this move also means that the Executive Committee has made up its mind to develop and construct Miaoli with a large number of immigrated people.
There are only a dozen or so local civil affairs personnel in Miaoli, and when they were assigned here, it was already after the oil production area began to operate, so most of them had never been engaged in resettlement work.Wang Hui's organizational skills are inherently weak, so Liu Shanxia had to stop the work at hand and take over the preparations for the resettlement of immigrants, directing these civil affairs officers to organize local labor, go to the selected location to clear the ground, cut down trees and build temporary sheds Room.
If the time is sufficient and the budget is sufficient, then Liu Shanxia can organize the construction of a collective dormitory-style immigrant village, but now that the two conditions are not met, Liu Shanxia can only respond first and direct the construction of a shed with a simple structure and low construction difficulty.Fortunately, he specially brought a lot of underlings when he came here this time. These foremen will work together to command nearly [-] local laborers temporarily organized, and the work efficiency is not low.
In addition to building huts, there are also a batch of emergency tents in stock locally, which are usually kept by the garrison. At this time, they were also taken out of the warehouse and used as temporary residences for immigrants.These tents are of the same specifications as the tents used by Haihan in the temporary refugee camp in Fushan County, Shandong Province. A tent can accommodate 30 to [-] people, which is perfect for solving current problems.
Civil affairs officers transferred from Penghu and other places arrived in Miaoli one after another in the next few days. During this period, two companies of the Haihan Army from Penghu and Kaohsiung also arrived.The higher-ups were still worried about the smooth transition of the reception and resettlement work here in Miaoli, so they specially transferred two companies with a total of more than [-] soldiers to Miaoli for reinforcements, and also escorted over the daily supplies provided to the immigrants.
Seeing that the reinforcements arrived and the supplies and personnel were already in place, Liu Shanxia and Wang Hui were not so nervous about the imminent immigration. They just needed to build temporary settlements as soon as possible.
A week later, the first group of immigrants from Shandong arrived in Miaoli smoothly.The more than 500 Shandong refugees who came here in three boats showed a variety of emotions when they got off the boat. Some were crying with joy and kneeling down, some were at a loss, and some thanked the sailors on board. , generally speaking, they are still mostly excited. After all, they have been wandering at sea for many days, and now they are finally told that they have arrived at their destination, and the heart that has been hanging has finally been let go.
Most of these people do not know where Taiwan Island is located. In fact, they were not told that the destination of their trip was a certain place on Taiwan Island until several days after boarding the ship and leaving Shandong.Of course, this destination must also be under the rule of Haihan Kingdom, and their future survival still needs to be arranged by Haihan.
These migrants had already received corresponding training in the refugee camp, and the civil affairs officer gave instructions with a tin horn, and they also knew that they would be dispatched into queues according to the teams designated in advance.Occasionally, there were a few guys who were too excited and didn't listen to the greetings. The Haihan soldiers who were in charge of maintaining order at the scene would naturally step forward and kick and scold them to quickly return to the team.
When they boarded the ship in Shandong, they had already been divided into teams of 50 people and made a roster. At this time, they only needed to roll their names according to the team to quickly check the number of people.After counting a group of people, a civil affairs officer and several Haihan soldiers will go forward to lead the group of people away and take them to a resettlement point a few miles away.The subsequent distribution of housing will also be based on this team, and different teams will be placed in different locations to avoid serious clustering of immigrants who arrive here in the same group.
Before leaving the pier, the immigrants will be told not to leave the team and act without authorization, and those who escape without obeying the command will be treated as spies.
How should spies be dealt with? These immigrants had already seen the harsh punishments of the Haihan people before they left Shandong. All those who were convicted of spies were shot in public, without exception.If you don't want to be a dead soul under the gun, it's better to obey the arrangement honestly.Besides, the environment of this place is obviously different from that of his hometown. Even if he wants to get out of Haihan's control, he doesn't know where to make a living if he runs out.
However, this place seems to be sparsely populated, and there are large tracts of uncultivated land around it. It seems that the Haihan people's propaganda that the south will distribute land to immigrants for cultivation, does not seem to be bragging.
