Chapter 267 The Hope of Survival



Another problem is that Wang Tianxiao discovered that although the transportation pipelines were insulated, the pump body was not, which was very strange.

It would be fine if it ran continuously, but this pump is clearly running intermittently.

Each time the water tank at the corresponding location is filled, the pump stops, and without insulation, it is simply unusable.

After he raised the question, Engineer Li then began working on the insulation issue.

After some thought, Wang Tianxiao came up with a brilliant idea: he asked Engineer Li to build a heated tank in each pump room, into which coal could be added and then dissipated through channels to maintain a certain temperature in the pump room.

Strict insulation measures should be taken around the pump room, as long as the temperature inside is not lower than three or four degrees Celsius.

This took some time.

Anyway, since the construction of this water diversion project began, Wang Tianxiao has given Engineer Li a lot of suggestions.

It makes it seem like he's the one who should be the designer.

He joked with Engineer Li that once the project was completed, Engineer Li should pay him the salary of a designer.

This made Engineer Li very embarrassed.

However, Wang Tianxiao could understand the lack of ability of Li Gong and his team. Mainly, in this era, there had not been large-scale infrastructure construction, so the engineering construction technology was relatively weak.

It's purely due to a lack of experience.

Although Wang Tianxiao was not a professional, he had seen more advanced construction methods from later generations, which is why he was always able to come up with solutions based on the current situation.

Good things come to those who wait, and by early December all construction projects were finally completed.

Wang Tianxiao checked everything again from beginning to end to make sure there were no problems before he agreed to deliver the water.

Everything went smoothly.

The people at the station were overjoyed when the water source came directly from the water tower on the station.

The era when everyone needed to use water sparingly has come to a complete end.

From then on, while it wasn't exactly extravagant, at least we could use it a little more leniently.

When Wang Tianxiao saw the water coming up, a bold idea suddenly came to him.

Since there are two abundant water resources, why not just build a shower room?

It's very inconvenient for people in the mountains to develop photos now.

It made Wang Tianxiao feel very uncomfortable every time he washed.

Let's get right to it.

He first dug a tunnel in the ground near the cliff behind the mountain, which would allow the water to drain down the hillside.

Then, a wooden grating is made on top, a steel frame is made on the ground, and a perforated mesh is laid on top.

People stand on it to bathe, and the water flows away from below, all the way down to the hillside.

This is the principle behind urban shower rooms.

I went to the city and bought several electric water heaters to install in the shower room, so that I could take a shower in all four seasons.

With this experience as a foundation, he plans to apply this method to his house next spring.

It's simple. There's a big pit right at the entrance, which is perfect for draining water into.

Very convenient conditions.

December has passed in the Gregorian calendar, and November in the lunar calendar is just around the corner. The weather is getting colder and colder, and temperatures of minus ten or even twenty degrees Celsius are becoming quite normal.

The ground was basically frozen solid, making it impossible to continue construction, so the brick and tile factory and prefabrication yard had no business.

At Wang Tianxiao's suggestion, production continued until December 5th to accumulate some inventory, which could be sold piecemeal. Then the factory could shut down the furnace and stop the equipment, and then prepare to arrange holidays for the employees.

According to Zhang Wenyuan, all he had to do was settle the accounts with the employees, then announce a holiday so they could all go home and find their own mothers.

Wang Tianxiao, however, felt that this was an outdated way of thinking.

At his suggestion, both factories organized a year-end reunion dinner for everyone and gave each person a separate year-end bonus of 100 yuan.

In addition, an employee raffle was organized.

Even those who didn't win a prize received sunshine.

Some oil, laundry detergent, and the like.

In short, the goal is to ensure that every employee receives their New Year's bonus happily and goes home with peace of mind.

Everyone expressed their gratitude to the factory for its kindness, noting that not only were wages paid on time, but such benefits were also unprecedented. They all promised to work hard next year.

People in this era are very simple and honest.

People are still at the most basic stage of solving their basic needs for food and clothing, and haven't thought much about things like freedom or rights.

It is still in the stage where there is a large labor force but few enterprises.

Many people would envy someone who can find a stable job that doesn't involve hard labor.

Take the people working in the brick and tile factory, for example. They have a fixed salary of 100 yuan, plus production bonuses, quality bonuses, and overtime and full attendance bonuses.

In total, one can earn 120 or 130 yuan, or even 150 yuan per month for those who work quickly.

In the countryside, this is completely unthinkable. People toil in the fields all year round, how much money can they possibly make?

With the issues at the two factories resolved, the issues at the power station have also largely come to an end.

Wang Tianxiao told everyone working at the station, except for Wu Wenhua and his wife Wu Qiancai, that they could go home.

He specially exchanged some change and went to the village to give each of the people who worked at the station this year an extra 100 yuan bonus.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Although it cost him more than 30,000 yuan, he felt it was worth it.

Next spring, all sorts of medicinal herbs will need to be harvested from the temple, requiring a large amount of manpower to work on them.

He had worked so hard to cultivate the medicinal seedlings, and he didn't want some ignorant people or those who didn't work hard enough to ruin them.

This year's staff were all carefully selected. Except for a few who were simply unusable and have been asked to leave, most of them were very meticulous, and he hopes they will continue to come next year.
