Chapter 1149 Progress of Midway Twin Islands Project
At noon on September 20, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming discussed for a long time in the temporary canteen of the Firearms Army about the body of the artillery base, as well as the front sight and scale of the firearm.
After divergent discussions, the two even considered the issue of installing shooting baffles and designing observation holes on the artillery frame.
The chat lasted until 4 pm. Kong Ming was satisfied, only to find that Li Xiang had been standing by the side of the table in the temporary canteen of the Firearms Army. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Li Xiang, have you been waiting here for a long time? Why didn't you talk?"
Li Xianggong bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "The subordinates dare not interrupt, because they are worried about affecting the scientific and technological innovations of your lord and Kong Ming. Anyway, the construction of the twin islands on the way is just a matter, so your subordinates are not in a hurry.
Listening to two adults discussing cutting-edge technology is also an excellent learning opportunity for subordinates. "
Kong Ming immediately stood up and said, "I've finished talking with your lord, Li Xiang, please stay and report your construction progress to your lord."
After finishing speaking, Kong Ming happily returned to the island, exchanging so many questions with Qu Mao, he had already satisfied Kong Ming’s desire to make a few more technological innovations for firearms before leaving.
Xuande was too lazy to listen to Qu Mao and Kong Ming discussing technology a long time ago, so he went outside to look inside and outside the Midway Twin Islands. When he just came back, he happened to meet Kong Ming flying out of the temporary cafeteria of the Firearms Army, and Li Xiang was just in Qu Mao sat down opposite the dining table.
Qu Mao quickly asked Xuande to sit down as well.
Xuande sat down unceremoniously, and said to Qu Mao and Li Xiang: "My lord, Li Xiang, the twin islands have been built for more than two months, and they are still a huge construction site."
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Xuande, after all, this is the headquarters of the Firearms Army, as well as the location of the Firearms Research Institute and the Firearms University, so it is very important to Yi Gong territory.
I think it doesn’t matter if the construction progress is slow. I will be satisfied if it can be easily formed before the end of Tianxuan’s six years.
Kong Ming has been completely immersed in the innovation of firearm technology. I am very worried that he will not return to the lord's hut honestly after October 1.
Once Kong Ming leaves, this side will be completely handed over to Li Xiang until Chafidel comes to Midway Twin Islands to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army. "
Li Xiang said: "My lord, I came here to look for you in order to report the construction progress of the twin islands on the way."
Qu Mao asked: "Li Xiang, to what extent has the twin islands been built halfway through the scene? Not only me, but Master Xuande is also very concerned.
When we overlooked the highest peak of the Big Island in the morning, we just felt that the student dormitory of the Firearms University was not built enough, but there was nothing else missing.
However, the construction of the General Station of the Firearms Army on Dadao seems to be not so perfect. "
Li Xiang said: "Master, let's report while patrolling the construction site."
Qu Mao nodded, stood up together with Xuande, and walked towards the temporary cafeteria of the Firearms Army.
Li Xiang thought for a while and said, "My lord, apart from the three major projects you mentioned, the stone bridge across the island is actually a major project.
Currently, the construction of the Firearms University is considered the most complete. The overall construction progress has reached more than 95%, including the construction of the walls of the Firearms University. Although this morning, my lord, you can have a panoramic view of the buildings within the walls of the Firearms University at the highest peak on the Big Island, but in the future, there will be no such embarrassing sights when the forest of students grows up. The follow-up is nothing more than building a better building and adding dormitory buildings.
The construction progress of the Firearms Research Institute should be more than halfway through. The office building, small batch trial production workshop, and actual shooting field are partially completed, but the construction of supporting facilities and power systems has not yet started. Master Kong Ming has been unable to make up his mind, and his subordinates think that it may have something to do with the failure of the cross-island bridge.
About 30% of the cross-island bridge project has been completed. Of course, the water diversion channel is also a part of the cross-island bridge project. Construction has not yet started, because the Dadao Reservoir began to store water on September 1, and it has been sunny for two days. The necessary amount of water is not filled.
After the fresh water from the big island is introduced to the small island, the power system of the small island firearms research institute can be constructed.
The construction completion of the Firearms Army General Station is considered the lowest, and it may not even reach 10% now, mainly because the main part of the construction on the Big Island in the early stage, we put it on the excavation of the Big Island Reservoir and the Big Island water conservancy facilities.
In addition, the number of surviving trees planted on Dashima is 3671, and the grass is mainly planted under the tree seedlings.
Now that the rainy season has arrived, my subordinates contacted Liandao Greenwood Town and ordered 11,000 plant seedlings. They want to use this rainy season to plant another batch of trees. After all, the survival rate of planted trees is expected to be higher. Greenwood Town will reply in 10 Sent in the supply on 1st March.
At present, only one system barracks and 10 dormitory buildings have been built in the Firearms Army General Station. "
Listening to Li Xiang's introduction, Qu Mao kept nodding his head, and followed Li Xiang's pace, constantly inspecting the construction in progress.
Li Xiang continued to report: "My lord, the Firearms Army headquarters has not even built the shooting range and playground, but the subordinates believe that before the end of the six years of Tianxuan, it will be very easy to repair the dormitories that can accommodate 50,000 Firearms soldiers. It's amazing.
As for the granary and material warehouse of the Firearms Army General Station, the subordinates think that these are all very fast, and there is no need to worry about it in advance. The main thing is that the location of the building needs to be confirmed. "
Qu Maodao: "The big island of Midway Twin Islands must accommodate all the soldiers of the Firearms Army before the end of the year. Although the total number does not exceed 50,000, dormitories for more soldiers must be prepared in advance."
Stopping, Qu Mao patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Li Xiang, you have worked hard.
Continue to build according to your own schedule, don't blindly pursue speed, for the general garrison of the Firearms Army, we also need the quality of the building.
I estimate that after the battle of the kingdom battlefield in the inverted U-shaped area, I will appoint Chafidel as the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army, and he will take office on January 1, the seventh year of Tianxuan.
But I am afraid that Chafidel will come to Midway Twin Islands for inspection in advance, and he should put forward some construction requirements for the General Station of the Firearms Army.
At that time, you can build according to Lord Chafidel's request, and now concentrate on the construction of the stone bridge across the island. "
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the projects built by my subordinates in the Holy Land are well-known.
The cross-island bridge project is expected to be completed by the end of the rainy season. Considering that the cross-island stone bridge may have to pass through artillery, the subordinates did not rush to work, but repaired it firmly. "
Qu Mao smiled and said, "It's better to make it firmer."
