It was the same for water transport. A small shipyard had been built in Neijiang. Although the ships were all 100-1000 tons, it was also to accumulate experience for the future navy. After all, it was a hundred-year-old navy. It was better to start now than in the future.
Speaking of the navy, the 1000 sailors that were picked up from the Green Camp had already set off for Australia. They knew simple Spanish, and most importantly, they had already built two small sub-bases in new Zealand and Western Australia. Some of the equipment had been transferred out to perform some "minor surgery" on the locals and the Spanish. It was believed that the friendship between China and the West would go back to ancient times.
Lu Yao was also using the mining vehicle to dredge the river. It had to be known that there were many kinds of hidden reefs in the river in this era, and the pier was not well built. In addition, the mining vehicle was dual-purpose. It was used at this time. Lu Yao felt that in the future, the navy port could be built with mining vehicles.
With the mining vehicle's function and explosives, the entire area from Neijiang to Chongqing was filled with " Peng " sounds every day. In addition to using three small mining vehicles to transport supplies, the rest were fighting to clean up the river. According to Chen Xi's report, the river could be cleaned up before October. Of course, if they wanted to build the dock together, they would have to wait until this time next year.
However, Lu Yao counted the days. It was almost time. When the railway could be opened, it would definitely be much better. Once the road was repaired and the railway was connected, it would be spread all over the docks in Sichuan. That would really be a success. Of course, there was still a difficulty, which was bridges. After all, there were really a lot of bridges here.
Lu Yao still had to make good preparations. In the past few months, Lu Yao had spent tens of millions of taels of silver just on spending money. Now, he was still continuing to invest. With the construction of the railway, the expenditure would definitely increase, but he could still grit his teeth and persevere for a while. As long as he persisted for a year or two, those foreign guys would be able to repay him. At that time, the foundation would really be formed.
After he was done with the transportation, Lu Yao came to Neijiang. There were already hundreds of factories of all sizes here. Most of them were light industries. After all, light industries had quick results. Some of them were already profitable, but there were still quite a few factories that Lu Yao valued.
For example, the sugar industry. This transformation would turn into a chemical factory, so there were quite a number of chemical factories here. Lu Yao had the technology, so he did not lack room for improvement. What he lacked was time. He believed that as time passed, the reputation of Neijiang's "sugar" city would definitely become even louder!
Neijiang was a beautiful city. The most important thing was to produce beautiful women. Lu Yao had seen many records in historical records. It was indeed a good place. As the saying went, each place nurtured its own people. Even the boys were more handsome.
Neijiang was a sugar city. It was the country's sugar producer. At present, Neijiang's sugar production accounted for 70% of the province's and about 50% of the country's. It was called the "sweet city", so the business atmosphere here was still very developed.
After Lu Yao came here, of course, he was more interested in these advantages. Moreover, this area also produced salt and raw silk. Water transportation was also very developed. It was very close to Chengdu and Chongqing, so it was quite easy to develop.
When Lu Yao was inspecting Neijiang, Zhan Tianyou also received Lu Yao's message. At first, he thought it was just bragging, but after seeing Lu Yao's series of plans, he was skeptical. However, he agreed to go and take a look together, so Lin Ling kidnapped Zhan Tianyou.
When Lu Yao heard the good news, he almost went crazy with joy. After all, this was the first God to come to this plane. Lu Yao believed that he would definitely not want to leave after coming here because this place was different from the entire China. Lu Yao was confident that he would accept this difficult mission.
After all, the roads in Sichuan were too difficult to repair. It was better to do it now than later. Moreover, the road to Tibet was the main point!
On June 2nd, Lu Yao met Zhan Tianyou in Neijiang.
Zhan Tianyou, also known as Juancheng, was born in Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province. He was born on April 26, 1861. He studied in the United States at the age of 12 and was admitted to Yale University's Civil Engineering Department in 1878. He majored in railway engineering.
He was admitted to Yale University at the age of 17. He was an absolute genius. He graduated from Hillhouse High School in New Haven and was admitted to Yale in second place.
In 1879, he performed well at Yale University and won the first prize in mathematics.
Construction of the railway began in 1888. Kuang Sunmou, a classmate from Kaiping Mining Bureau who studied in the United States, introduced him to the Tianjin Tianchao Railway Company as an engineer, engaged in the rail laying project from Tanggu to Tianjin.
In 1889, he continued to work as an engineer for the Tianchao railway company, building the Tangshan-Guye railway. In 1890, the Tangshan-Guye railway was built. In 1891, the railway from Guye to Shanhaiguan was built. In 1892, the Guye-Shanhaiguan railway was built. In 1893, the most difficult project of the Guye-Shanhaiguan section, the Luanhe River Iron Bridge, was built. In 1894, the first time in China's railway to use the compressed caissons method to build the pier foundation of the Luanhe River Iron Bridge was successfully built. In 1895, He served as an engineer of Beiyang Official Railroad Bureau, leading a team to survey and build the Jinlu railway. In 1896, he led a team to build the Jinlu railway. In 1897, due to the need for an official title, according to the Qing government's donation method, he submitted a donation and chose the state.
This year, they were preparing to build the railway outside the pass. When they were about to leave, they were blocked by Lin Ling and Gao Xiu who rushed over. After much persuasion, they agreed to go to Sichuan. After more than half a month of long journey, they finally arrived at Neijiang in early June.
The moment Lu Yao saw Zhan Tianyou, he immediately went forward to hold Zhan Tianyou's hand and said excitedly,"Sir, you've waited for so long. You have to know that I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you only here now? If it weren't for the fact that there are so many matters here, I would definitely visit you personally!”
Zhan Tianyou was a little touched and moved. Before he could say anything, Lu Yao pulled his hand and walked to a huge map. He pointed at the map and said excitedly,"It is said that the Shu Road is harder than the sky, but I want to start at the most difficult place. Look, this is the exploration map we made!”
Zhan Tianyou was shocked at first glance. It was too detailed. Many places were marked down to the meter. The dozens of maps hanging on the wall were worth thousands of gold!
