The train station mentioned here is not the Binhai Railway Station. Strictly speaking, the Binhai Railway Station should be the South Station of Binhai City, which is also the terminal station for all trains coming to Binhai City.
The place they are going to now is a small station not far to the east of Binhai Railway Station. This station will gradually become a transit station for Binhai Railway freight in the future development of Longxia Country. Because the site is large enough and there are many railway switches, it has also been designated as a designated station for troop rotation and transportation.
In the past, annual conscription and transportation of weapons and equipment were completed at this station.
When Xu Jianguo and his team arrived at Binhai East Station, a number of vehicles were already parked neatly in the square in front of the station. Each large truck was loaded with luggage and daily necessities of the soldiers' families. These things would later be loaded onto carriages and transported to Daxinganling by train.
After completing the transportation work, all vehicles will remain in the Binhai base for use by the newly stationed troops in Binhai. The ones who helped Xu Jianguo and others move today were actually the soldiers who came early from the Baishan base. After sending everyone on the train, they will continue to stay at the station waiting for their comrades from Baishan to arrive.
After Xu Jianguo and his family got off the bus, staff members immediately came over to take over the items. After confirming all the items on the truck, these people took out ropes and began to reinforce each package. Then they took out the white cloth strips that had been prepared in advance, wrote Xu Jianguo's name, position and military rank on the cloth strips with a pen, and finally sewed the cloth strips to the bundle with needle and thread.
Just as the handover was completed, Xu Jianguo heard someone calling his name. He turned around and found that it was Ma Guoliang's bodyguard Tai Wei.
"Brother Tai, why are you out? Where is the commander?" Xu Jianguo asked with a smile.
"The leader is in there. He asked me to come out to see if you had arrived. I saw you as soon as I came out. How is it? Have you registered everything?" Tai Wei asked.
"Yeah, just registered!"
"Come on, let's go inside. The train will be here soon."
"good!"
The group followed Tai Wei into the waiting hall of the train station. In fact, it was called a waiting hall, but in reality it was a place similar to a small factory. Entering from this door was a hall of two to three hundred square meters. There was another door opposite, and going out was the platform. It was very different from the train stations of later generations.
At this time, Ma Guoliang and his wife and Dong Jixiang and his wife were standing there waiting for Xu Jianguo and his friends. When they saw this family coming in, they smiled and waved to him.
Xu Jianguo walked over quickly, and the three girls greeted the four people politely. The old man and the old lady greeted them, making them happy and praising them for being polite.
After praising the three girls, Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin reached out and took Wen Wen from Wen Sitian's arms. The six women left the grown men behind and ran to the side to chat with the little ones.
"Why are you so late?" Ma Guoliang asked as he walked outside.
Xu Jianguo knew he was craving cigarettes again when he saw him like this, so he followed him and said, "I checked the institute again before returning home. I was afraid I might have left anything behind."
"I think you are reluctant to part with it, right?" Dong Jixiang said with a smile.
"Well, I'm a little reluctant to leave. This is the place where I have spent the longest time since I joined the army." Xu Jianguo took the cigarette he handed over and said.
"You are still young, you need to learn to get used to it." Ma Guoliang said after lighting a cigarette.
Xu Jianguo nodded without saying anything, lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"What are your plans after arriving in Northeast China?" Ma Guoliang continued to ask.
"I don't have any other ideas at the moment. Let's finish the unfinished projects first, and then consider the next step. What I'm worried about now is the workshop over there. It's okay now, but if the temperature really reaches minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, the low temperature will have a great impact on our production and manufacturing equipment." Xu Jianguo said with a frown.
"The old man has taken what you said into consideration, so he wants to know what your plans are."
"Before Wang Liang, the head of the barracks section, left, I contacted him and specifically asked him to check out the production workshop. I also told him some of my basic requirements for the workshop. However, he never called me back, so I don't know what's going on now."
“What are you going to do if there’s no suitable factory there?”
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "My idea is to dig three feet deep!"
"What do you mean?" Ma Guoliang asked in confusion.
"If there's no suitable space at the new base, I mean we could consider developing underground. This idea came to me when I last visited my family and saw the villagers digging vegetable cellars."
When Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang heard this, their eyes lit up and they said, "Tell me in detail!"
"As far as I know, in our country, wherever we go further north, there's a tradition of digging vegetable cellars. The main purpose of doing this is to take advantage of the cellar's warm winter and cool summer properties to keep vegetables fresh. So, if there aren't any suitable factories in the Northeast, I think it would be better to use local materials and dig directly down. The sides and the ceiling can be reinforced with wood, and a gabled roof structure can be built. That way, even if it snows, there's no need to worry about the roof collapsing. For the ground, you can consider using stone instead. In this way, you only need to light a few stoves indoors, which should be enough to keep the vegetables warm. Of course, these are just my personal thoughts. After all, I'm not a construction professional, so it still needs professional evaluation."
As Xu Jianguo continued his narration, the two old men's eyes became brighter and brighter. They thought to themselves that they didn't know what was going on in this kid's head. He was obviously not very old, so how could he have so many ideas?
"Great! This idea is really good. It not only solves the problem of the factory, but also saves a lot of building materials. You know, cement and red bricks are in short supply. Even if the higher-ups come forward, it's not easy to get them!" said Ma Guoliang.
"Lao Ma, I think we have to hurry up and build the factory before the weather gets cold," said Dong Jixiang.
"You're right, this is indeed an important matter. I'll arrange it as soon as I get off the train."
"Woo~Woo~"
Just as they were talking, the sound of a train whistle was heard in the distance. The three of them threw away the cigarette butts in their hands and walked into the station.
Dozens of large trucks parked in the square also started up at this time, and drove onto the platform one by one under the guidance of the train station staff.
As the train stopped, the soldiers from the logistics department were the first to come to the carriages they were responsible for and stand in front of them. Some of them were responsible for guiding people to board the train, and some were responsible for guiding the loading of goods. The division of labor was orderly and the cooperation was proper.
Tai Wei and Guo Bin followed the group and walked towards the sleeper car in the distance. After verification by the logistics soldiers, they led everyone onto the train.
