The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1823

[1823. Chapter 1734 Major Projects]

Okay…

Li Tian and others put aside their random thoughts.

But no matter what, just treat it as a sketch.

After all, the master has everything to do every day, so he can’t spend too much time making serious engineering drawings.

Well…

that must be the case.

Then everyone’s eyes fell on these sketches again, their expressions focused, but at this glance… they suddenly became interested.

This drawing… is obviously extraordinary. To a certain extent, this is a completely new field for Li Tian and others.

Of course, for the people at the School of Engineering, after the construction of the new city and the construction of the railway, they have gained a lot of experience, especially the emergence of structural mechanics and concrete. In the construction of the new city, many people have learned a lot. able to show off their talents.

Experience is accumulated step by step.

But now… when they finally understood the drawings provided by their master, they were gearing up one by one.

Li Tian knew very well that whether he could do it or not was secondary, and whether he needed new knowledge was secondary.

To carry out a project, what is most needed is money. As long as Party A is willing to invest money, he can explore anything.

I invested money to build such a thing… but I don’t know how much knowledge I can accumulate from it, and I don’t know how many papers this knowledge can be transformed into.

Li Tian is still a step away from being an academician, but if he wants to step into the field of academician, he always lacks a lot of enthusiasm. In the final analysis, what he lacks is such a large-scale project.

Li Tian stared at the drawings, and his mind began to work rapidly, how to strengthen the structure, how to design it, and whether the huge stress would cause collapse under such circumstances.

“Master…this is…” Li Tian had doubts on his face.

Fang Jifan looked at these guys and succinctly said three words: “Build it!”

Li Tian and others immediately took a breath of cold air and couldn’t help but said: “I’m afraid… it will cost a lot of money.”

They all have A truly talented person can immediately see that this is not a simple thing even though he only saw a simple sketch.

Fang Jifan said with a cold face: “One million taels of silver will be invested in the first phase, and in the follow-up… there will be a second and third phase…”

Fang Jifan hates people talking about money to him. Talking about money is an insult to him!

Is Fang Jifan a man short of money?

Li Tian and others have already started to have stars in their eyes. Damn… It’s a big deal. This is great. There is really too much room for display here.

Li Tiansheng was afraid that his master would not believe in his talent, so he immediately said: “Master, if such a building is made of concrete or masonry, it is absolutely impossible and will definitely collapse. After thinking about it, the students originally built it. When I was working in a theater, I had used a construction method, which was feasible. Of course…it needs to be redesigned. “

“What method?” Fang Jifan asked with interest.

Li Tian immediately replied: “Steel structure.”

Fang Jifan nodded, quite satisfied: “In short, come up with a plan immediately to ensure that there will be no mistakes. You don’t have to worry about the budget. Li Tian, you are responsible for this project. Give it a try, I’m very optimistic about you.”

After hearing this, Li Tian trembled, Master… actually thinks so highly of him?

There was actually a reason why Fang Jifan chose Li Tian.

Most of the students from the first batch of engineering schools now have high status in the engineering field, and some have even become academicians. They are now more inclined to theoretical research, and the new generation of leaders, this Li Tian, presided over Many projects, including the first steel-structured theater, were completed by him. Although it was assisted by many academicians of the older generation, with these experiences, there would be nothing wrong in choosing this guy…

Li Tian was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he quickly prostrated and said: “Master…student…student…there is nothing I can do in return…”

Fang Jifan did not intend to say any more to them, and waved his hand: “You can’t help me here now. If you waste time, go ahead and come up with a draft first, and then ask your mentors and uncles for advice, and form a team. If something goes wrong, I won’t forgive you.”

“Yes, yes,” Li Tian was excited. It’s incredible.

Although he is in charge of the entire design and engineering, for such a large-scale project, the entire Engineering Academy must be involved, and he… is the core of this project!

Fang Jifan dismissed these people, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly collected the sketches, threw them directly into the charcoal fire, and burned them completely.

Wang Jinyuan still stayed aside, watching the young master burn the sketch, and couldn’t help but said with a painful look on his face: “Master, this… this… it’s a pity to burn it. The young master just showed it to them, if they can’t remember the young master’s What should I do with the sketch? Why…don’t you let them take it away?”

Fang Jifan said righteously: “Who am I? It’s not that I am not humble, but to be honest, I am a person who is famous all over the world. If these bastards take away the sketches and treat them as family heirlooms, thousands of years later, these bastards’ children may have to put these sketches on display. Exhibition, do you understand? I want to be low-key and modest. Future generations want to see my calligraphy, but I won’t show it to them.”

Wang Jinyuan’s expression suddenly relaxed, and he raised his thumb in admiration and said, “Young Master is indeed different from those dogs.”

Fang Jifan .

After sitting down, he ordered: “You have to pay attention to the project. They have budgeted, how much they want, and how much they allocate. This project… is not easy to build… In addition, Xishan Iron Industry, build more Some iron workshops are in need of steel everywhere now, and they cannot afford to be unable to supply it. “

Wang Jinyuan said: “In recent years, new cities have been built and railways have been built. Steel workshops have blossomed everywhere. Iron ores are being explored everywhere. The ore transported is piled up like mountains. Now many railways are Build a steel workshop directly on the site of the construction, recruit a group of old craftsmen, recruit a group of apprentices, and then build a kiln and start work. Over the years, Xishan Iron Industry has built steel workshops with an annual output of more than 100,000 tons. But still… the supply exceeds the demand. In fact, there is no need for the young master to give orders. The villain has planned several workshops. As for the iron ore, a lot of it has also been explored. The root of the problem is still in transportation. Of course… In fact, as long as there is demand, transportation The iron mines are profitable, so you don’t have to worry about these things. People will try their best to solve them.”

When it comes to this, Wang Jinyuan is very familiar with it.

He is the chief steward of the Fang family, and the Fang family has many industrial layouts. He needs to keep these data in mind. After all, his young master is moody and angry. God knows when the young master will ask. If he cannot answer, he will be beaten. Broken leg.

Fortunately, the young master had a good temper today…

After a while, Fang Jifan left with his hands behind his back, humming a tune.

Wang Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief again.

Baoding Prefecture.

The railway here can directly connect to the capital.

As a result, Baoding has become a thoroughfare. Coupled with the continuous deepening of the New Deal, Baoding has vaguely looked like a big city outside the capital.

This station in Baoding is always the busiest.

Countless people came from the capital, and countless people went to the capital.

As a result, the steam locomotives that depart every period still cannot supply such a huge flow of people. Ordinary people cannot buy tickets at all and have to stand. It was sultry in the carriage, so the door of the carriage was open. The steam locomotive set off with a rumble. In the carriage, there were countless people hanging in front of the door.

The staff at the station noticed two people who described themselves as filthy. They took the bus back and forth every day, maybe three or four times a day. They might get off the train in Jingshi and take the bus back, or they might stop at a stop along the way. The next time you see them, they will arrive at Baoding Station alive and kicking.

The two guys, dressed in old clothes with a dusty appearance, had hard steamed cakes hidden close to their bodies, and each held two gourds to make teapots.

Since hot water is provided free of charge at the station, as long as these two guys are at the station, before the train leaves, they will always appear at the hot water supply area. They will fill the gourd with hot water as soon as possible until the gourd is full. The water inside overflowed and burned their hands holding the gourd. They grinned and made a sound of pain, and then carefully stuffed the gourd.

The reason why the people at the station attracted attention to them was because their gourds… were extremely huge. They were like two small water tanks when they were carried behind their backs.

Before boarding the bus every day, they would use bamboo pieces to record the departure time. They would even observe the flow of people. After boarding the bus, they would actually take out a pocket watch among the crowded people.

It should be noted that this pocket watch is a luxury product among luxury goods nowadays. Ordinary people cannot see it at all. The price is so high that it is staggering, but… they actually have it.

Every time they stopped at a station, they took out their pocket watches and recorded them in detail.

Record again when departure.

The bamboo pieces are always densely packed.

In this way, more than a month passed.

They just disappeared.

And then…at another station leading to Tianjin Wei, they appeared again. They came early every morning and seemed to be generals reviewing the station. They appeared at the water supply outlet immediately.

Some people even discovered that these two guys actually poured some rice into it after filling it with hot water. The next time… they found that the rice was actually cooked after being soaked in hot water for several hours. They poured it out of the gourd. , no longer water, but hot porridge.

“Remember it, write it down…this train…the stop on the way is a moment…remember it?”

“Remember it, brother.”

The person who was called brother was Zhang Heling. Zhang Heling took out the box in the station He took out the timetable, compared it, and then squinted his eyes and said: “These dogs, I’m afraid this trip will be late again. Alas…”

Zhang Heling sighed!
