Chapter 1532 The power of steel structure
Alaska has several ports, from the Alaska Peninsula to the area along the Pacific Ocean. It can be said without any hesitation that most cities in Alaska are port cities, and inland cities are also at the junction of some rivers. Water transportation is prosperous, and there is no real inland city, at most it is small villages.
After taking Juno, the capital of Alaska and even the largest port in Alaska became the place with the largest fleet. On the basis of the original port, the first batch of Chinese construction teams are opening new berths. Based on the original port berths in Alaska, it cannot support huge capacity at all.
As the forefront of fighting with the United States, Juno is the first and the place where the most materials are transported in the future. Even the manpower requirements are high. At least, the war with the United States is not 10,000 or 20,000 people, or even 300,000 or 500,000. The total number of Japanese combat troops has been exposed, with at least 600,000 people. The Americans also know this. During the expedition, the number is at least about this, or even close to one million. If there is not enough manpower, how to build a solid line of defense and how to block the Americans in Juneau.
The first batch of Japanese people who came to Alaska have been scattered to various cities. Although factories have not been established, it is still possible to cut down trees and build some temporary buildings, not to mention that China has begun to transfer building supplies to Alaska.
A huge whistle sound came, and the person in charge of Juno Port, who was notified early, arranged the berth early, and temporary cranes and tower cranes were prepared at the port, and some cars were also ready. Wherever you look, a simple three-dimensional road has been paved. You can see a large number of Japanese people in the distance, densely packed on both sides of the road. They must widen the road and extend the road in a further direction. In the next few months, Juno and even Alaska will become a huge construction site, and various buildings will rise up here.
Under the guidance of the guide, a container bulk ship of at least 20,000 tons finally landed. Basically all the people in charge of the port work were Chinese, and only some Japanese people did some of the lowest-level work here. The port is a professional job, and a permanent tower crane is under construction. Even temporary tower cranes are much more efficient than traditional manual loading and unloading.
The use of containers has made the efficiency of major ports in China quite high. A 22,000-ton container ship, in Qingdao, China, only takes 4 hours to complete loading and unloading. This is still the case when most of them are divided and transported away. Now, in other world ports except China's ports, this number is at least 4 days, which is still the case when porters work overtime day and night.
Machinery can exert efficiency far higher than manpower, especially for heavier items. The same thing is, 300 kg and 3,000 kg, as long as the volume does not differ too far, the loading and unloading efficiency of tower cranes is similar, but for manpower, sometimes, there is no even one-tenth of efficiency.
Almost all of them were containers. The tower cranes began to pull down huge boxes with the help of manpower and placed neatly on the square. Next, forklifts and cars would transport these things to various places in Juno.
A container was first hung down by the tower. About 30 of them were transported to a place in the suburbs of Juno by 30 cars. The foundation had been dug here, and there were even two cranes. They were not for loading and unloading containers, but for construction. Among these 30 containers, steel structures were filled with 19,000 square meters of rooms. In the next 10 days, the construction team will use these steel structures to build a total of 5 large floors here, which may be divided into 10 small-story steel structure rooms in the future. If one person counts as 2 square meters, it will accommodate nearly 10,000 people in the future.
A person with 2 square meters looks very narrow. You should know that the steel structure of 19,000 square meters has a floor height of 5.2 meters, divided into two layers, and the floor height is more than 2.5 meters. For the relatively short Japanese in this era, it is almost enough. On the bed problem, there are at least high and low beds. Under some extreme conditions, it will even reach three-bed beds, with an average of 2 square meters per person, 4 square meters for double layers, and 6 square meters for three layers. In the eyes of the Japanese, it is almost enough. Under the current state, the issue of applicability cannot be considered. How to accommodate more people is the key.
China's development plan for Alaska is quite detailed. The most outstanding place in China where ordinary residential buildings is steel structure. It has been developed and developed from the northwest. From 1909 to the present, it has only been 7 years. However, in 7 years, the entire China has a large number of large-scale cities. Among these cities, there are a large number of new high-rise buildings, but more are steel structure houses. It looks incredible, but it is real. If you want to build a city like China with a large scale and a large population in a short period of time, it will be basically impossible for the steel structure to solve all this in just 7 years.
In the future, these structures will end one after another and be replaced by new buildings. However, now, he is still the main body of the factory and the building. In 7 years, the construction of billions of rooms is very familiar with every aspect of steel structure. The steel structure components are directly transported through ships, and then at least 1 million rooms will be built on the ground of Alaska. These are all large rooms, each room has at least 30 square meters, and each person is calculated as 2 square meters, with more than 15 people in each aspect, and these rooms are enough to accommodate 15 million people.
The city can accommodate 15 million, plus the original buildings in Alaska, which can accommodate at least 17 million people. It is difficult to immigrate so many times before the winter begins, but China's huge fleet is enough to support such immigrants. As long as Japan can prepare so many people before China's transport ships arrive.
Will Japan do it? Of course, it will do it. Now the construction of Alaska has become the top priority of the Japanese government. The most common telegram contacts with China every day is when, how many ships will come and how much capacity will be. China has reduced the amount of Japanese people transported by each ship as much as possible to ensure safety and ensure that there is not much pressure on the ship. However, the Japanese have tried every means to increase, sometimes even an increase of 10 or 15.
You should know that this is a transportation across the Pacific Ocean. Although the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean are far less than the Atlantic Ocean, you need to be careful. If there are more people, it will be a lot of pressure on the transportation and logistics of the entire ship. After all, the temporary supply points on the island are not enough to face more and more people.
But Japan doesn't care. Of course they know that this is dangerous, but the mortality rate is higher. Compared with the extra transportation of 100,000 or 200,000, the latter is better. Even if a little more manpower is added, Alaska's construction can be quickly rolled out.
Manpower is indeed very important. China is more technical and machine-level in construction, but there is also a lot of work in pure labor. More and more manpower is driving the changes in Alaska. Cities and ports are beginning to take shape and develop rapidly.
Even the United States did not expect that from their own perspective, they believed that Japan had launched a sudden attack on the United States, but the army had come. After September, Alaska would usher in a severe winter. In Alaska's severe winter is as terrible as Siberia. In such a cold climate, unless it was native to this place, others would not be able to live there at all. They spent half a year to accumulate strength and attack Alaska in the beginning of spring next year. At that time, after experiencing the entire cold winter in Alaska, how much combat effectiveness does the Japanese still have?
What they didn't know was that China invented a thick double-layer structure specifically for Siberia, and Alaska had very rich coal resources. As long as these mining was in place, heating and some cold protection measures were arranged in advance, it was enough for these Japanese who had not experienced the cold to spend the cold winter, not to mention that Japan was not without people who resisted the cold, their Hokkaido was a cold place.
The main force that immigrated in the first wave was Hokkaido. Because Hokkaido had already given up to China, except for a few of these Hokkaido people, the rest were unemployed after being resettled. The population and technicians required by China were all Hokkaido, except for those who had no choice, were all Hokkaido. Now the first batch of main force immigrants are also. Hokkaido's dimension in Japan is already quite high, and it cannot be compared with Alaska, but it can be considered a rare high latitude. These people's adaptability to Alaska should be far above the level. Under this situation, all problems have been taken into account, and there is almost no chance of problems.
In order to deal with the United States, Japan's layout on both sides of the Alaska Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean, compared with the cold Alaska approaching the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean is warm and humid. It is close to the tropical area and will not be cold all year round. In addition, the speed of construction in China and the Japanese's personnel investment at all costs, it quickly moved towards a large-scale city. Among them, the change is Juno, with at least 203 cargo ships transporting about 4 million tons of supplies.
One third is various machinery and equipment. China has transported 5,000 sets of various large machinery to Alaska and also supported at least 120,000 technical workers. With the support of 1.2 million Japanese workers, they have begun vigorous urban construction. Alaska is constantly transforming and developing at a speed that no one expected. This is covered by a long distance and harsh environment. After cutting off the telegram line, Americans do not know at all. To be continued.
