Chapter 591 One of Them (VII)

fishing area.

The original iron-clad wooden cargo lifting devices at the port have been replaced by all-color dark gray iron cranes. The temporary wharf that originally only worked for a few thousand people has been expanded into a large fishing port that can accommodate thousands of fishing boats.

Hundreds of tons of fishery resources are unloaded from ships every day and distributed at the center of the fishing area.

The large-scale application of small steam engines first benefited not agriculture, but the fishermen who relied on the long coastline of their territories for fishing. They no longer needed to rely on weather and oars.

A small steam engine the size of a washing machine installed on a fishing boat can shorten the round trip time of a fishing boat to 50% of the original time. The steam engine will take the fishermen further away with the newly built large fishing boat.

The heavy roar of the steam engine, the crankshaft drives the vortex to rotate, and the cooled water vapor forms white mist in the air.

The wheels pressed against the gravel scattered on the railway track, making a vibration. The train driver seemed to have been familiar with this vibration for a long time. He sat in his seat and stared boredly at the unchanging blue scenery outside the window.

‘Fishing Area-Agricultural Area Train Track’

Lingmo propped up her body with both hands and leaned half out of the car window to feel the cold and moist air coming from the ocean. The slightly cold air made her hair a little messy.

Under the track is a raised gravel base, and outside the gray-white gravel base is a silt beach. The originally black silt beach is now covered with artificially placed salt-alkali tolerant green plants.

This is the only railway track built along the coastline in the territory, drawing an arc along the territory's long coastline and connecting agricultural areas with fishing areas.

Like the blood vessels of a city, it connects the world.

The roaring train pulled twelve carriages along the railway track, taking Lingmo and Shao through the distribution center of the fishing area, past the aquatic product warehouses that smelled of fish and workers in waterproof suits.

Workers will load the aquatic products onto the train, using low-temperature runes on the train to prevent the aquatic products from deteriorating during transportation. The aquatic products will be sent to the distribution point by a steam train connecting the city and the fishing area, and then transported by a special sky-rail transport ship. Food is delivered to the collective cafeteria.

"It's so beautiful! It would be great if there was a special tourist train."

Shao stared at the ocean not far from the train. The light green algae fields all over the sea reflected a light green luster. A large number of fishing boats were working on the endless algae fields.

The coastline is not a complete straight line. When this piece of blue is closest to the train, it seems that you can reach out and touch the sea, and there is a hint of excitement in your tone.

The roaring train engine was not as noisy as she imagined, but with the excitement, it had a somewhat neat rhythm.

"How can it not be possible? Hundreds of thousands of mouths in this city are pointing to this railway for food! Seven or eight trains have to go here every day!" said the conductor of the steam train: "This is the energy saving of the locomotive head. Order some people, ha, but usually no one takes this train!”

The conductor wanted to say something, but then he heard the conductor in front of him yelling at him to shovel stones to adjust the boiler, and then closed the connecting hatch.

Only Ling Mo and Shao were left in the huge carriage.

"If you knew what kind of cargo this car was pulling, you wouldn't say that." Ling Mo stretched out and stretched out her body in the sun: "Well, I haven't taken this special line for a long time. It seemed like it was the same last time. Accompany the instructor to collect floating lotus grass on the beach. "

The steam train dragging twelve carriages did not move very fast. The locomotive blew out white mist and slowly pulled the cargo forward. It was so slow that even if it jumped off the train, it would not be injured.

So her instructor immediately jumped out of the car with her in his arms, then waited until the next train came, then jumped back in with her in his arms.

"Well, the train in the fishing area should be carrying the processed catch?" Shao tilted his head: "Yes, is it sent to the canteen for lunch and dinner?"

The fishery area should only produce various kinds of fish that have been cut up?

But something seems wrong. What is the purpose of transporting so much fish to the agricultural area? Is there any evil project in the territory that requires the use of a large amount of biological flesh?

Should... there is no such thing, right?

"Wrong!" Ling Mo blinked: "Shao, have you ever thought about where the processed waste is?"

How could a fishing area that provides tens of thousands of jobs and 25% of the territory’s food sources not produce resource waste?

The viscera and skeletons caught by fishing boats in the sea, as well as the dismembered remains of marine mud crabs farmed in the territory, and the overgrown and thick seaweed in the seaweed fields need to be cleaned regularly.

Just the amount of seaweed grown in the endless seaweed fields on the outer edge of the territory is huge, and there is still a lot left over when feeding the mire crabs.

The territory needs to send these bio-waste resources to agricultural areas, where they will be converted into real fertilizer through heavy crushers and composting sites, and then irrigated into the fields.

There are also parts of the liver and meaty bones that are taken out separately for the hunting spiders raised in the territory. The parts that are inedible to humans are delicacies to them.

Section Chief Shao was stunned for a moment: "Are they all behind this?"

"Yes, this special line in the fishing area and agricultural area is dedicated to transporting fertilizer or...'fertilizer'!" Ling Mo nodded.

Otherwise, the territory would not waste time and energy to build a separate railway track specifically for transporting something. Of course, it was Ji Lin's idea to build it on the seaside... If a railway track is built on the seaside but not close to the sea, it will always feel like something is missing. .

Although this special line has a great view, few people take it because it is a special train that transports "fertilizer".

If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, you must first abandon your inner ideas.

"But last time it seemed that they wanted to use a floating ship to build a low-altitude air-rail route for coastal tourism."

Ling Mo hummed a song, with a gleam in his eyes, and stretched out his fingers to draw a parallel line slightly above the sea surface not far away.

"If you want to take the tourist special line, Miss Shao, you can wait until the special line is opened to see it."
