Chapter 154 Construction of New Rural Areas (5)
Seeing that Li Songchen had arrived, He Shengdong immediately came over and said hello, "Minister Li, are you here to guide the work again?"
Li Songchen laughed and said, "Mr. He, I am an amateur in this project. What kind of work can I guide? I just come and see if there is anything I need to help with."
He Shengdong also smiled and said, "There is a good thing you have obtained a batch of cement for us last time. Now there is nothing you need to deal with."
Li Songchen said, "That's good." He looked at the adobe bricks all over the field again and said, "I remember that the wall project of this construction site is almost completed. Do you still need so many bricks?"
He Shengdong explained: "The bricks on this construction site are enough, but the bricks are now being prepared for the subsequent projects. It is October now, and the temperature is pretty good, but in more than a month, the weather will turn cold. At that time, it will not take five or seven days. It may take more days to dry a batch of bricks. If it catches snow and rain, it will take longer. Therefore, while the weather is good, dry more bricks. Anyway, these bricks can be used in the future."
Li Songchen bowed his head and said, "Mr. He is indeed very comprehensive in thinking about things."
He Shengdong said, "Let's go, since you're here, go to the construction site to have a look."
Li Songchen said: "Okay, let's go and have a look."
So the two left the brick-making site together and walked towards the construction site. At the entrance of the construction site, several greenhouses were built and several large pools were dug under the entrance, which were filled with mud, some dry and sparse. Beside each pool, there were five or six prisoners, who were working together to push a large winch to stir the mud in the pool. Several prisoners added other ingredients to the pool. There were two pools without stuttering, but someone pushed a cart by the pool, scooped out the mud from the pool with a spoon, and then transported them away. There were also a group of people sitting aside.
This is the pulping area of the construction site. The mud for making adobe bricks and the mud for bonding adobe bricks are all made here. The drier mud is used to make adobe bricks, while the dilute mud replaces cement mortar and serves as the bonding material for masonrying adobe bricks.
The cement mortar is not used for bonding adobe bricks. After all, the cement production in Tianjin is not high, so it cannot supply new rural construction projects at all. Moreover, there is another road construction project for the Crossing Group. Therefore, Tang Songlin's construction plan is to still choose to use yellow mud for making bricks and seep sand and add water to make thin mud mortar, and add a small amount of lime, cement and rice soup to be used as bonding materials. Moreover, the bonding effect will not be much worse than cement sand. It is completely enough to build flat-layer houses. This is of course also Tang Songlin's experience. Other engineers basically only know how to use cement, and it is impossible to think of such a construction method.
He Shengdong looked carefully at each pool, scooped up some mud from the pool, reached out to stir it in the mud, and tried the viscosity of the mud, because the main material of the project was these mud, so the quality of the mud will directly determine the quality of the project. Although He Shengdong had never done a project using mud before, he had rich construction experience after working for more than ten days. After reaching out to stir it in the mud, he could basically have a clear understanding of the properties of the mud.
Mixing mud is a very physically consuming job. After working for more than ten minutes, a group of people will need to be replaced and they need to take a shift. In the old time and space, large-scale mixing cement mortar and concrete are all done by machines. Generally, there are several special large concrete tripping machines on large construction sites, while construction sites use concrete tripping vehicles more often. Of course, the efficiency of the machine is much higher than manual work. Only a small amount of cement mortar will be manually prepared.
In fact, there are also several large concrete trippers and several concrete trippers in the Crossing Group. At the beginning of the project, I also applied to the temporary executive committee, hoping to pull out several machines and equipment to improve the efficiency of the project.
However, after discussion by the interim executive committee, this requirement was rejected because the construction machinery was extremely exhausted, and the life of a concrete trip truck was far lower than that of ordinary vehicles. Moreover, all engineering vehicles of the Crossing Group have been used for a considerable period of time, and the remaining service life is not long. If used in rural projects, it is really not cost-effective. Moreover, the rural engineering construction technology is not complicated, and mixing mud is much easier than mixing cement mortar and concrete, so it should be left in the more needed projects. Moreover, the Crossing Group now has a lot of free labor, and it can be completely relied on the amount of manual labor to make up for the construction efficiency. Only two road rollers were approved because the losses of the rollers were relatively relatively high.
The Executive Committee's decision, Li Songchen and others naturally have to respect it. Therefore, the project of the construction of the new rural areas has hardly used power machinery and relies entirely on manpower, but it has done a good job for this.
After walking through the pulping shed, I officially entered the construction site of the construction site. At this time, people came and went, building walls, putting beams, carrying loads, etc., shuttled back and forth, busy, and it was a busy scene.
At this time, the entire construction site had been built in the first place, with more than 30 houses being completed, and the wall building project of most other rooms had been completed, and the construction of the house began. The slowest wall building was more than one meter high. There were more than a dozen people surrounding the wall building in each room, but almost all the construction was foreign prisoners. The travelers were on the scene to blame, supervise and guide.
It turned out that at the beginning, most of the construction workers of the Travel Group were themselves, but with the progress of the project, many prisoners gradually mastered the construction of wall building. In fact, wall building is the most basic technology of bricklayers, and the technology itself is not complicated. Just pull the control line well. Moreover, the requirements for wall building in flat-layer houses are not high, and there is no problem with errors of a few centimeters. Therefore, the basic technical work is done by the prisoners, while the Travelers have become managers.
Li Songchen and He Shengdong walked around the construction site and listened to He Shengdong's introduction to the progress of the construction site. According to He Shengdong's plan, the construction site can be completed within this month, and the main project can be basically completed in fifteen days. Most workers and equipment on this construction site can be transferred to the next construction site for construction. As long as there are enough materials, the construction of two more construction sites can be completed before the Lunar New Year.
Li Songchen was very satisfied with the progress of the construction. Now there are six project groups to construct at the same time. If each project group can complete the construction of three construction sites before the New Year, then the construction of eighteen to twenty new villages can be completed in total, and about 500 houses can be built. If 6-8 people live in each house, it can accommodate about 20,000 people. Although it cannot fully accommodate all farmers, it has not achieved success. At this rate, all rural construction in Tianjin can be completed in just one year.
Li Songchen said: "Mr. He, do you still need manpower on the construction site now? In this battle, we captured many German soldiers and prisoners, about 7,000 people, so our labor force is very sufficient. If manpower is still needed, I can apply to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee rejected our application for construction machinery. It is still okay to need more people."
He Shengdong shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of labor. If possible, you can apply to the Executive Committee, pull out a few generators to improve the living conditions of the construction site, and stabilize everyone's mood. Seven people have left at our construction site. Yesterday, two more people wanted to go back, but I finally persuaded them. But if the living conditions on the construction site do not improve, there will probably be people who leave."
When Li Songchen heard this, he also smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. He, the situation at the other construction sites is similar, and they all responded to me. Moreover, your construction site is quite good. There is a construction site that has already left nine people. I will report this problem to the Executive Committee."
He Shengdongdao: "It is indeed time for the living conditions on the construction site to improve, and it depends on Director Li for this matter."
Li Songchen said: "I can only do my best. He Gong also knows that the conditions in this era are limited, and the resources that the Executive Committee can mobilize are limited, so it is even more impossible to invest all resources here. Therefore, the improvement of living conditions on the construction site is also limited. At most, the treatment of the construction site personnel can be improved and the work points of each person can be increased a little, but we still have to do more ideological work for others."
Now the Travel Group implements a comprehensive planning system, and everyone's life and food are all planned. Moreover, all the workers do not have wages, but they are recorded as work points. After all, this planning system cannot last long. Sooner or later, the wage system must be implemented. After the wages are implemented, these work points can be exchanged for currency.
Although most of the non-military travelers are engineering and technical personnel, there are not many real otakus and charlatans. Compared with those of the old time and space, these people have a relatively strong adaptability to the environment. However, the construction conditions of the old time and space are getting better and better. Not only are new technologies, new materials and new processes used in the project, which gradually simplifies complex process technology, and the environmental awareness is also constantly strengthened, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of construction workers and the environmental quality of construction sites. Because of the living conditions of construction workers, the living conditions of construction workers have also been greatly improved. The use of assembled Shule board houses is generally used, not to be popularized on the Internet, and the popularization of IFI makes the construction workers' spare time and life is very rich, not boring.
