Chapter 110 Taking over Tianjin (2)
Three days later, all residents of the Tianjin Concession were registered and put back home. Moreover, the consulates in various countries in Tianjin also completed inspections. During these three days of inspections, a large amount of grain, silver, currencies, materials, etc. were found.
In addition to the income from Tianjin, the total amount of various grains was close to 6,000 tons, the silver competition reached more than 6.5 million taels, more than 225,000 silver pieces, more than 80,000 taels of gold, more than 65,000 pounds, 457,000 Russian rubles, 523,000 francs, 56,000 US dollars, 325,000 German marks, and 672,000 yen. In addition, a large number of Chinese cultural relics, handicrafts, etc. were also checked. According to the exchange rate of this era, the currencies of various countries combined were about 1.2 million taels of silver, which did not record the real estate and real estate in the concession.
After occupying Tianjin and the concession, the time travel group gained a lot. The cost of a Gordon Hall was only 32,000 taels of silver. The two iron-armored giant ships purchased by the Beiyang Navy only cost 2.8 million taels of silver. Now, the funds controlled by the Time Travel Group are enough to purchase the next five Dingyuan ships.
The hospitals, water plants, environmental sanitation systems and telegraph offices in the concession have all reopened, but inspections of various private industries have not yet begun. Therefore, the factories of the concession are still closed, and the entire concession looks very deserted. Fortunately, Tianjin's economy is mainly based on the circulation economy, and now the circulation of the concession is completely separated by the travel group, so even if it is opened, there is not much business.
In addition, during these three days, the inspection of residents in Tianjin City was completed. Now there are only more than 4,000 households left in Tianjin City, with a population of only more than 20,000. All of them are registered and resident certificates are issued. There is no entry and exit in Tianjin City like the concession, but residents must also register if they want to leave Tianjin City. And outsiders entering Tianjin City also need to register and apply for a certificate.
The ruins, garbage, old and messy buildings in Tianjin were also captured and cleaned up. Because the population in Tianjin has decreased significantly, the residents in Tianjin have also been redistributed and lived in concentrated areas. The potholes in the roads in the city have also been filled and compacted, so the appearance of the entire Tianjin city has also become new.
At the same time, the travelers set up more than 50 garbage trucks in Tianjin City, used some unmanned houses to renovate more than ten public toilets, and sent a company reserve team to Tianjin City to manage the daily public security work in Tianjin City, taking into account the city's appearance and sanitation management. Of course, they also issued a very strict urban management law, strictly prohibiting littering and defecation everywhere. Once caught, they will be punished for three to ten days of cleaning work, which is to clean the streets, replace garbage trucks, manure trucks, cleaning public toilets and other matters in Tianjin City.
On the first day, they caught seventy-three littering and thirty-three defecations everywhere, and the time travelers were not ruthless. These people became the first Tianjin residents to be punished for cleaning work. No matter how they were asked, it was useless. This shocked the whole city of Tianjin. Many residents also mentioned that they should pay attention in the future, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to sweep the streets in public, drag garbage trucks and manure trucks.
At this time, the Interim Executive Committee, members of the Military Committee, some technicians, and most of the naturalized people also moved from Dagukou to the Tianjin Concession. Dagukou was handed over to the navy to manage and became a pure military port fortress. At the same time, a land warfare company and armored battalion were left at Dagukou. Because most non-military crossers still live on three passenger ferry boats, and the reserve team cannot take on heavy responsibilities, so some troops are still needed to guard Dagukou. The armored battalion also stayed at Dagukou, which is entirely for the sake of confidentiality. After all, the armored battalion is one of the current trump card of the crossing army and cannot be easily exposed.
This time, more than 2,000 people flocked to the Tianjin Concession, but the concession was originally vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of more than 5,000 acres, but the population was only more than 14,000. Therefore, it was able to accommodate so many people. Moreover, all residents passed the review and registration and put them back, and many houses were also cleared. In addition to the leadership and technical staff of the traveler entering Gordon Hall, the traveler army was stationed in the Yingzhang Camp near Gordon Hall, and the first batch of naturalized traveler lived in the Zizhulin Military Camp, and basically all were arranged to live in the houses.
During these three days, the engineering and technical personnel in the Travel Group also came up with their respective technical construction plans.
First of all, Gordon Hall's circuit transformation plan was formulated by Wu Dingwen, the chief engineer of the evacuated overseas Chinese, who was personally presided over the formulation of the power plant. Chief Engineer Wu started as an ordinary electrician, completed his master's degree through self-study, and had more than 30 years of experience in electrical engineering. He published more than ten related papers, even known as the authority in this area. Therefore, before traveling through time, he was the general construction and installation technology of the power plant construction.
In fact, compared with large electrical projects like building power plants, Gordon Tang's circuit transformation can only be regarded as Lai Yidian. If it were in the old time and space, it was not the turn of technicians like Chief Engineer Wu to do it. However, in this time and space, firstly, he was idle and secondly, Wu Dingwen knew that the opportunity is fair to everyone now, so the more things anyone did at the beginning, the greater the future.
In the old time and space, the highest institution of the state power system was the State Grid Corporation, which is a state-owned enterprise of the central-level department. The general manager and party secretary are all under the direct management of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and at the ministerial level. Of course, in the old time and space, Wu Dingwen basically had no chance to reach this level. Moreover, Wu Dingwen had no political ambitions and was very satisfied with his current status. He just wanted to do this until retirement, but in this time and space, everything was possible. If he could reach the highest peak of his bank, Wu Dingwen would certainly not refuse.
Gordon's circuit transformation project is not technically difficult. There are now 86 electricians in the group, and twelve of them have the title of engineer. This is not considered an electrician in the army. The main materials needed are of course cables, wires and power supplies. In addition, some transformers, switches, sockets, electric lights and other equipment materials are needed.
The seven warships and three passenger roulettes are equipped with a certain number of various wires, cables and other equipment materials for accidents at sea. The combined number of these ten ships is not a single number. When evacuated, they also brought a considerable number of wires, cables and other equipment materials for engineering. The total amount is enough to complete a large-scale engineering project of about 200,000 square meters. The construction scale of Gordon Hall is less than 10,000 square meters, which is obviously enough. However, Tianjin is not the general base of the Travel Group, so Gordon Hall's circuit transformation plan is still simple to consider.
Under the auspices of Wu Dingwen, the Gordon Hall circuit renovation plan designed is: only the first-floor lobby and two large conference rooms are designed according to standard lighting, and a large decorative chandeliers are installed in the first-floor lobby. After all, the surface project still needs to be supported. Other office rooms have lowered the lighting standards and appropriately used desk lamps as supplements. The number of sockets cannot be arranged according to the office seats, and the standard of three people sharing one socket. In addition, the standard of living rooms has been further reduced, with four people sharing one socket and one lighting standards.
The outdoor lighting design of Gordon Hall is to set up two outdoor lighting lamps on each of the four corners of Gordon Hall. Three outdoor lighting lamps are added on the left and right sides of the front of Gordon Hall, and four outdoor lighting lamps are also set up at the entrance, which basically ensures the overall outdoor lighting of Gordon Hall.
Compared with normal electrical engineering, such a design scheme can reduce the electrical materials by about 40% and the entire project is expected to take twenty days to complete.
However, Gordon Tang's power supply design is troublesome. After all, it is impossible to build a power plant in the concession to supply electricity immediately. In the Tianjin Concession, only the Lishunde Hotel east of Gordon Tang has purchased a generator, but it can only be used for some important rooms in the hotel. It is impossible to ensure that all rooms can be powered.
Of course, there are some generators in the Crossing Group, but these generators are all oil-burning, which is obviously not affordable at the moment. However, there are eight solar panels installed on the three passenger roulettes. When sailing at sea, solar power is used to generate electricity to ensure the supply of the entire ship, which can reduce fuel consumption and increase the navigation capacity of the passenger roulette. The warships do not have equipment such as solar power panels because using solar power will generate a large number of electronic signals and expose the whereabouts of the warships. However, relying on the solar panels on the three passenger roulettes, Gordon Tang's power supply problem can be solved easily.
After calculation, only two solar panels can ensure the current Gordon power. However, the stability of solar power generation is not high. There is insufficient power generation on rainy days, and work must be stopped at night. A part of the power needs to be stored for use at night. Therefore, at least four solar power panels need to be installed to be sufficient. In addition, the time of electricity consumption at night must be strictly limited.
