The inspection team set up camp in the Sunset Valley. Li Fushou took a team of personal guards and galloped forward for seven or eight kilometers until the forest at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on the layers of mountains, and the scenery looks even more majestic.

Li Fushou stood on the hill, and pointed forward with the whip in his hand with passion, saying, "Old Fu, Lao Lei, we have been here all the way to this vast hilly area. If we were on the mainland, we would have thousands of hectares of fertile fields and crisscrossing fields. But we couldn't see such an undeveloped primitive ecology for millions of years. It was really magnificent!"

"Yes, my hometown is Jiangxi, there are many people and few land. The villages are full of crops, beans are lit, and terraces are opened up on the mountains to grow grain. How can we bear this large area of ​​land be wasted? It can support hundreds of thousands of people. It would be a pity for people to waste like this!" Lei Xiao said.

From Longmen Town to the gentle hilly area here for more than 80 kilometers, I really developed thousands of hectares of fertile land. How much grain should I produce in a year and how much population would I feed?

The coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangxi are all small and have a large population, and there is a serious shortage of food. Many ignorant rural areas have a bad habit of drowning girls. The phenomenon of drowning and abandoning babies in Zhejiang is very serious, especially in Jinhua, followed by Wenzhou and Taizhou.

Guangdong has the same style as the trend of drowning women, Hunan has the bad habit of drowning women...unbreakable", Jiangxi "all regards having a daughter as a pity, and often drowning is a pity."

Baby towers can be seen everywhere in the rural fields. If the children born are unable to raise, they can only be thrown into the baby tower...

Looking back, I looked at this fertile wilderness, why didn’t Lei Xiao and those who have experienced it sighed?

"So... we open our hands to welcome immigrants. There are endless fertile fields for development here, which can allow millions of immigrants to live a good life without worries, and can do their best to the Chinese with the same bloodline. I wish to do enough!"

"The merciful heart of the master is moving, and Bo is lucky enough to follow him in his life." Fu Peng said what he said in his heart.

He looked at the energetic commander ahead with a respectful look, shining brightly under the golden light of the setting sun, and seemed more and more extraordinary.

The Count is not talking nonsense while drunk, but is fulfilling his ambitions with practical actions. Over the past seven years, more than 2 million Chinese immigrants have benefited from Australia's immigration policies, and there will be more in the future. This is especially worthy of admiration.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Over the years, the Eagle School has adopted more than 600,000 orphans.

The noble kindness and fraternity virtues have an inspiration and cohesion beyond imagination. This is the fundamental reason why Fu Peng and Lin Leixiao followed Lord Earl wholeheartedly.

"In the first half of my life, I followed Master Gu Yanchuan to travel around the world, saw countless unfair things, and had seen too many hardships and struggles. The people were living too hard. Even if I were Master Gu Tai, I would just do anything?" Lei Xiao, the strong man, had tears flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head in a concealed manner and whispered; "The master is a living Bodhisattva, and he must have been sent by God to save us miserable people. I really hope to bring all those who have no food or clothing to Australia to enjoy their happiness."

"Old Lei, you're so big, I can't take it!" Li Fushou sighed lightly, and clamped his legs and a belly to instigate the horse to trot, and said with a hint of melancholy in his tone; "Australia is indeed sparsely populated and fertile, but the carrying capacity of the ranch is limited. With today's ability to migrate 700,000 to 800,000 people every year, plus Shangri-La and Borneo, there are millions of immigrants a year, and it is possible to increase it in the future, but this is just a drop in the bucket for the Qing Empire."

"Why, Master?"

"You have the will but not the strength! You should know that the population of the Qing Empire is as high as 40,000 people, and the population born every year is several million, which is more than three times the total population of Australia. So many people fill Australia in a year, so the government turns a blind eye to immigrants. They really can't support so many people."

"Master, Lei has received teaching."

The afterglow of the sunset shone on a group of agile cavalry, who rode their horses on the wilderness hills, crossed the gurgling streams, passed through the woods, and headed towards the Sunset Valley camp.

Since then, it has crossed mountains and ridges for four consecutive days, and there have been many dangers.

After entering the mountains and ridges, the speed suddenly slowed down. The mules and horse team of the observation group fell to death by frightened and accidentally slipped, and 11 horses died, seven mules and three accompanying soldiers. After all the hardships, they finally arrived at the Wild Wolf Valley.

This is the valley where the expedition team killed 14 wild wolves, so it is named "Wild Wolf Valley". This is the valley terrain between two tall mountains. There are wide pebbled river beaches on both sides, and surging streams pass through it. Due to the drop, the water flow is very turbulent, and it winds all the way and extends downstream.

Every rainy season, the mountain torrents gathered in the mountains pour down with an unstoppable momentum, covering all the pebbly river beaches on both sides of the river, with an amazing momentum.

It is mid-November now, and it is rainy season.

The rushing river surface is as wide as a hundred meters wide, and the violent flood hit the huge rocks on the shore and made a huge sound, rushing down.

In accordance with the Longjin Highway construction plan;

A Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge will be built here. The main bridge is 776 meters long and the approach bridge is more than 2,300 meters. It is a large-scale control project and one of the difficult projects of three bridges and two tunnels.

The Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge will build 21 piers of all sizes, which are the longest bridge designed in the entire Longjin Highway. The two main piers are 126 meters apart. The design adopts a steel arch structure, spanning the main river trough between the valleys.

When there are continuous heavy rains in the upper mountainous areas, the amazing mountain torrents overflow the main river trough, which will flood the entire valley in the surging flood waters.

Therefore, this bridge is a continuous steel arch structure bridge, composed of a tall main steel arch structure and many small steel arches on the bridge decks on both sides, like a rainbow that spans the entire Wild Wolf Valley, so that Longjin Highway will no longer be threatened by mountain torrents.

High in valley terrain

The construction team of the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge, which has a number of more than 600 people, is building a guide bridge pier, which actually does not have much technical content.

Because the foundation rock is very strong, only the floating soil and gravel are needed to be cleaned up during construction, and a foundation pit hole of more than two meters deep is burst, and a pier base is enclosed with wooden boards, cement steel bars and large pieces of gravel are added, and layers of gravel are gravel.

The most important thing is the main bridge piers. Because of their large span and heavy load bearing, the large steel components used are all made by shipyards. The single steel components are at least 4 tons. Before the road is built to the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge, it is impossible to carry them by people or by mules and horses.

Ordinary tractors cannot transport such large steel components, so they must develop large horsepower tractors for this purpose. This is a later story.

Nowadays, there is no trace of the Wild Wolf Valley continuous super bridge.

A simple steel cable bridge was built on the river to connect the two sides, and a layer of wooden board was laid at the bottom of the bridge. Walking on it, there were only two bare steel cables on the bridge, and there was not even a guardrail. It was really simple.

Under the bridge is the surging mountain torrent, which is a very test of a person's psychological endurance.

More than 400 mules and horses in the inspection team must pass through this simple steel cable bridge. In order to reduce the load on mules and horses, all supplies are carried over by manpower, and then the mules and horses' eyes are blocked and their ears are blocked, and they are carefully led across the bridge.

It took a full day to pass more than 300 mules and horses. Six mules and horses fell into the turbulent stream after being frightened. Two unlucky soldiers were also buried here at the same time, which made people sigh.

Li Fushou was very dissatisfied with this and ordered that the crossing of the river be stopped immediately. He ordered the large bridge engineering team that built the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Bridge to send people to weave rope nets for this dangerous suspension bridge. It was too compatible with only two steel cables, and there was no safety guarantee at all.

In addition, add two more steel ropes to hold the bridge so that you won’t walk into the middle of the river and sway around. It’s too scary, and mules and horses are more likely to be frightened.

In the next year and a half

The mule and horse team must travel back and forth here all year round, and the construction team itself must also use this steel cable bridge, at least to ensure safe passage of construction access.

"Mr. Feuerbach Kant, have you noticed a serious problem in the design?" Li Fushou stood by the river, watching the workers weaving rope nets on the steel cable bridge, as if asking unintentionally.

Feuerbach Kant is the general manager of the construction project and the director of the Department of Architecture of Red River Valley University. He is now a great man who has achieved success. But he knew who this all came from, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said apologetically. "I'm really sorry for Lord Earl, this construction bridge was not considered carefully, and it was too hasty."

"No... I'm not simply referring to this. The mule and horse team has been very difficult throughout the journey. For a year and a half, the mule and horse team will transport supplies and raise thousands of workers along the line through this rugged mountain road and transport a large amount of cement steel bars. If they lose thirty or forty mules and horses back and forth like ours this time, how many mules and horses have you considered how many mules and horses to prepare to be used?"

"I..." Feuerbach Kant couldn't answer such a sharp question, and the cold sweat on his forehead immediately came down. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it and said stammeringly; "Sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"Shut up! This is not something that can be solved by sorry. Feuerbach Kant, you are taking human life. If you are going to be pulled out and shot on the battlefield, what do you think? Have you become an idiot? Why do you make such a childish mistake?" Li Fushou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared loudly.

Now Li Fushou's power is getting heavier and heavier, and his roar makes everyone silent.

Facing the Count's anger, Feuerbach Kant's face turned pale. The designers and the architects and the students in the Department of Architecture who were standing not far away were all frightened and they were responsible for this matter.

The task of developing the Koi copper and gold mine came too quickly and the time requirements were too tight. Among the more than 40 people in the design team, almost everyone was covered with a lot of tasks, including 37 bridges, 6 culverts, and a winding mountain road that was more than 180 kilometers long, Crescent Lake Reservoir, hydropower plant, mining farm construction of Koi copper and gold mine, mineral processing plant construction and other design drawings.

Longjin Highway is in the stage of surveying, design and construction. Small half of the 37 bridges have not been designed, including the Wild Wolf Valley Continuous Super Bridge, so no one cares more about the construction roads, and really ignores this.

Mining is a process of separating copper ore from waste stone. The koi copper ore composition is particularly complex. It not only contains high-grade copper ore, but also contains gold and silver. These components must be separated one by one.

The separated ore is transported to the ore dressing plant for ore dressing. The copper ore obtained from the mining is obtained through multiple processes to obtain high-grade copper concentrate, including crushing, flotation, separation, concentration, dehydration and other steps. This requires a large amount of power supply to support the continuous production of mining machinery and equipment day and night.

In today's world

There are already mature equipment for copper ore mining and screening. Even after more than 100 years, there has not been much change. The copper ore passes through a rotary crusher and a medium-fine crusher to undergo three-stage crushing and turns into fine granular shapes, and then grinds into powder by a ball mill to enter the flotation pool.

After adding agents to the flotation tank, the metal is adsorbed on the foam formed after stirring and flows into the edge tank with the foam to be separated.

The separated ore slurry is subjected to a dehydration process combining concentration and filtration to finally form copper concentrate. Through this series of processing processes, the copper content of ore produced by the koi copper and gold mine can be increased from 0.    8% of the original ore to 37% (in the dry state), and all of this is inseparable from a large amount of power supply to maintain high-intensity production in the mine.

Now the planned Crescent Lake Hydropower Station, Koi Copper and Gold Mine mining site, and ore dressing plant have not started designing important projects. Who has time to take care of the construction roads that cross mountains and ridges?

Although Feuerbach Kant had a lot of reasons in his heart, he would never dare to explain in the thunderous anger of the Count, and could only silently bear the scolding that was struck by the head.

As one of the old men who had been with the Earl for the longest time, Feuerbach Kant basically understood the Earl's temper and knew clearly that he would never defend himself at this time, and he would show a heartbroken attitude towards admitting his mistakes.

When the Count's anger fades away, one day when he is in a good mood, please help someone who can speak to help him turn it up, and the board is raised high and falls gently...

“…

From the Sunset Valley to the Koi Copper and Gold Mine, there are no more than 20 life-threatening mountain roads. These places are particularly slippery after rain. If you are not careful, you will fall into the valley and make your life.

Is it difficult to arrange a construction team to prioritize these places?

Is the project a lot?

Since you know why not do it?

Just like whether there is anyone responsible for this Wild Wolf Valley Steel Cable Bridge, whether there are any safety hazards in the subsequent projects, whether there are construction safety inspectors on the entire Longjin Highway, if there are any, they must be expelled from the team of architects immediately and these scums are blacklisted.

Those suspected of dereliction of duty were handed over to the court. I was so stupid. I think I could shoot a few of them. It was really a waste snack..."

An extremely harsh reprimand made Feuerbach Kant's face turn white and blue. Such a serious mistake was simply unforgivable for the rigorous German designers and regarded as a lifelong shame.

Li Fushou scolded him angrily, ordered all the designer team to put down their work, check all the safety hazards of the Longjin Highway from beginning to end, and mobilize the construction team to dig a safe mule and horse road immediately. If necessary, blasting can be used to explode the steep mountain rocks.
