Japan: A New Age

Arrival, start of development

Nariyama said the next day, "Please gather in the conference room at 15: 00 for a local meeting. Resource Development Supervisor Takesuke Yamada" and arrived in the designated meeting room before 15: 05 following the directions shown in the email.

About 15 chairs are available at desks arranged on the lettering of Co, with a man with prominent 50 teases of gray hair sitting in the middle, plus four men and one woman.

"I'm Nariyama, in charge of petrochemical plants," Nariyama sits in solidarity.

"I apologize for calling you to relax. I'm Takesuke Yamada, resource development director. Please wait while two more people arrive."

Two more men come in before 15: 00 and Yamada opens his mouth.

"Thank you. Thank you for coming together today. Then let me make a call. First of all, Mr. US Mountain, who owns the iron mine," is a big man about 45 years old.

"Imayama, the owner of the coal mine," a 50-year-old, middle-bodied, grey-haired man.

He is a 52-year-old veteran who also knows "Yamazaki, the oil miner" Sakayama.

"Sakayama, in charge of petrochemical plants" also known as Sakayama.

"Ishikawa, the person in charge of opening the limestone mining station," a disappointing man, relatively young, about 40 years old.

"Akai, the person in charge of the opening of the crushing stone mill," is a young, 35-year-old, idle man.

He is a 50-year-old male with a "Mr. Shimamaru, who is in charge of opening a Vox site mining station".

"Finally, Yoshida, the plant resource person," is the last remaining small 40-year-old woman. I bowed my head to everyone in each of them.

"That brings us to eight of the heads of resource development personnel in this first step," says Yamada.

"In this, Mr. Sakayama's petrochemical plant, in fact, is an industrial sector, but it is joined by the fact that it should be developed as an integral part of the refinery.

You will each be responsible for the development of resources that are indispensable to the development of the new. However, there is also a need for mining of various other trace metals, etc., and those mining sites will be opened in the future. However, these are relatively low usage, which means that they will be developed late, having decided to carry them off the planet for the time being.

I'm sure you've already been contacted and sent data, but the location of the mines, etc. of the resources in charge has already been identified. As for plant resources, however, as they are currently timber-only identification and other valuable resources are close to the current investigation, a survey team will be dispatched shortly, mainly from Gangnam University.

Also, you are each led by a work team, but naturally each has a generic work robot and a control robot assignment, which I think we've already contacted "everyone snorts.

"In addition, for the required plants, the ones from the team that are ready in time are carried in a cargo plane in a fleet together.

On the ground, the foundation work seems to be somewhat ready for the preparation of dormitories, etc., but we have not been able to make any superior items. So for the first week or so you will use this passenger or cargo plane for your quarters, and you will start by building your quarters, but your mining sites will range within 400 km of Pearl City on the Central Base, but they will be in different locations, so you will have your quarters available for each of them. Each team, naturally accompanied by personnel, will also do the work, but the construction team will assign assistance personnel and transport aircraft.

This is exactly what I indicated to your device. Do you have any comments, requests, etc. on this?

Guys, I saw the terminal at hand (smartphone shaped tablet), and I didn't really have a say in it.

"Yeah, what about the food?"

To one question, "Oh, that is indicated by the indication FP, which distributes portable meals in 100 daily portions for the number of people. The contents should not taste bad with the Defense Forces meal. Because they seem flattered by foreign armies. It should be noted that you will all land in Pearl City at the outset, where you can buy preferences and daily necessities, including food, as we will open the market".

Nariyama and the others meet in one of the three meeting rooms set aside on the floor.

"Okay, let's start the meeting. I think he saw it because he sent a list of construction squads, robots and heavy machines that would be distributed to our squads on everyone's terminals. The construction team sends 10 skilled staff to work on the construction. They are assigned two work robots, although three will be in charge of heavy machinery, one bulldozer, two backhoes, one compactor, one m3 concrete drilling machine, one crusher and five dumps, respectively, and seven more will be in charge of general construction work and this person will be asked to work on the assembly of the house.

Besides that, we have ourselves assigned every single work robot. This is what we are bringing, the 80,000 tonne plant of resin manufacturing, which was given a priority allocation to assemble and start operations as soon as possible "the nine members who looked over snort.

"First of all, the problem with this job is that there are no concrete plants. Cement has been secured to some extent, but there are also problems of securing sand, securing gravel, and there is not enough to create a bare foundation. Therefore, since there are mountains that can be crushed in the immediate vicinity, if river gravel or the like cannot be found, gravel shall be made from crusher, and for roads or the like, steel pipe pile foundation shall be used as gravel laying. We have enough steel pipes.

We have also been informed of the location of the oil fields, but the exact location of the oil wells has not yet been determined.

The aerial photographs of the area are on the street at everyone's terminal, thanks to Shinohara, the local oil resource officer, on the flight we are on the verge of departure, and the results of the aerial survey are also being sent. This is also in the terminal. Fortunately, the land is grassland and there are not many trees, so the results of the survey can be mostly trusted. In any case, it is necessary to determine the site location in coordination with the oil well squad, but this is the first task upon arrival. Between now and the 10th, however, I should like to decide on the proposed placement of the approximation. Once in position, the first step will be to unload in parallel with the construction of the quarters. The cargo plane needs to open as soon as possible. I want to finish this within 5 days, in conjunction with the location selection "

In addition, the meeting took two hours to conclude after detailed discussions, and each member proceeded to consider the proposed placement, review the process plan, recheck the material list, etc., and proceed with their respective work to the extent that they could be used as deskwork without seeing the site prior to landing.

Day 11 comes, there is an announcement, and the approaching Shinmatsu is shown on the 50-inch screen provided in each room.

It's just the blue world. When the white polar crown visible above is north, the eastern side is daylight, and you can see a continent just east covered by the sun and almost green. The blue ocean and white clouds shine. From the south it will be the largest continent, the Kibo continent, visible to the front. The destination, Nozomi Continent, looks near the center that will now dawn. These continents have snow-capped alpine and northern tip areas, some with visible sand colours that would be deserts, but many are covered in greenery.

The gradual dawn of the Nozomi continent is, as we have seen many times, an area of 22 million square kilometres, with temperate zones passing through the middle of nearly 10,000 km long land, which should be an overall pleasant climate to spend. Pearl Lake has been sighted, and Pearl City will be built on its northern shore, a vast 310,000 square km lake.

Narayama is getting excited. That's just the frontier. Right now, there are only 300 people on that continent. That unspoiled nature is beautiful!

I want to show you this view in my wife's order. It was really nice to be here this time, Nariyama. Against that backdrop, a man about 60 appeared on the screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Shinyama and again to Pearl City.

My name is Yoshihiko Sawayama and I'm the captain of the investigation unit. By the time you all arrived, I had done my best to complete the necessary investigations and try to prepare for the minimum, but I remain halfway there. I apologize for that.

But, ladies and gentlemen, the New Yamaha is a good place, especially the Nozomi continent.

See, that beautiful mountain view, the beauty of Lake Pearl again.

Soon, you will all be landed, but first go outside and taste the air of Shin-Yama. And look at the view around you. It's poor, but some meals have been prepared by us, so we hope you enjoy them with us. Note that where you land, cut it open somewhat, and be careful at your feet because it is tidy but naturally insufficient. We'll wait for you to land. "

The landing, in the city plan of Pearl City, will be a flat plot of land, the planned site of the space port, far from Lake Pearl. By and large, the 1km square is roughly cut open.

First the passenger ships descend, then 20 cargo ships descend sequentially.

The descent takes place from the lowest floor of the ship to the ground at 45 degrees below 5 m, initially using the occupants of the lower floors, the others sequentially descending using the elevators and stairs on board. Down there, there are about 250 men and women waiting. About 70% of men.

Around it, there are about 50 blue seats, and there is something in the center that looks like a meal. After about an hour, when 3,000 people are finished descending, they hear voices from the terminals that each person has.

"Welcome to New Yamato, we don't have enough, but we have a little bit of meal and a little alcohol to prepare. Please sit on the seat and enjoy. There are five of us on each seat, so ask us anything."

In the seat where Narayama and his men sat, two women and three men waited.

Narayama was surprised. There is not so much to eat, and the content is not luxurious. But with just 300 people, in each area of expertise, we have to examine this world and compile our findings. This shouldn't be a lot of busy. The only way to prepare for this is, after all, not without the heart to really welcome it.

Both Nariyama and his companions thanked him for that poor meal and drank the prepared shochu and talked to the survey members who were soothing and staying from five sources. Also, 200 cargo plane crews came along the way to join. During that feast, Shinohara came looking for him, he talked to Shinohara, the oil resource officer, about various things for now, other than work, and enjoyed it. He and Yamazaki, in charge of oil mining, are also scheduled to meet tomorrow.

The feast of the day ended in about two hours, in the evening, so I pulled it up to rest for a moment on the passenger ship.

The next day, Nariyama, who woke up at 6: 00 earlier than 7: 00 in wake time, went outside and breathed the cold air thoughtfully. Pearl City is located at 35 degrees north latitude, so it is almost equivalent to Japan's latitude on Earth and is situated in a temperate zone, but in the middle of spring this season means it will be a lot hotter in about two months.

The cycle of rotation at Shinmaru is 22.5 hours, the cycle of rotation is 425 days, but so far one day is divided into 22.5 hours, one year as its 425 days, one month is basically 35 days, and 1,3,5,7,September is 36 days. The surrounding 1km square has been cut open, with one passenger plane and 20 cargo aircraft landing.

Even during the night, the robot must have dropped the cargo, there are several large piles of cargo. Also, about 200 meters away, there is a temporary building like a store, and a lot of cardboard is piled up.

The cut perimeter feels like shrubs are growing sparsely in the meadows, surrounded by greenery and beautiful. The terrain is smooth, but not very high in the distance, but mountainous. Takachiho Mountains is 400 km away, so it would be a different mountain. The vast pearl lake is now largely elevated, so you can clearly see the vast and beautiful lake.

So, walking around slowly, Shibata and other men came out as well.

"Mr. Narayama, was it outside? Today, the store will open at 10: 00. If you don't buy what you buy right now, you'll have a single color portable food, so you have to try to buy as much as possible," says Shibata, a longtime man.

"Right. For once, what kind of product is on the device, it came out, but you can buy it at company expense for food and daily necessities, so please buy what you may need as much as you can. However, I would like you to be careful about that because it seems difficult to buy up too much and not cross over to others. I have been meeting with Shinohara and Yamazaki from Oil Well Development since 10: 00. Shibata, please stand with me.

That's what I'm asking you to shop for, "Sakayama asks.

"Okay. Let it be. By the way, our trip to the scene doesn't change the point that it's a plant-loaded cargo plane," says Hirota, a young man.

"Yeah, that's right. It's just that the oil drillers are together, and the freighter's almost full," said Nariyama.

"Ha, it's only a 400km flight, so you can force a little packing," Hirota says.

On that day, after discussions with Shinohara and Yamazaki, he also held discussions with the team leader of the construction team who would cooperate, and further completed the day by checking the cargo, loading the purchases, etc., and left for the oil field position on the cargo plane at 8 a.m. the following day. He is also accompanied by 10 people from Sakayama and 6 people from Yamazaki and Shinohara, who are in charge of oil well development. Work robots, and heavy machinery are on the same cargo plane. The construction team arrives late to deliver personnel and robots, equipment and the like to the development team in their respective remote positions on another cargo plane.

We arrived at the oil field position in just one hour.

The topography is nasty and the vegetation is a meadow scattered with shrubs, similar to the arrival position in Pearl City, so there is no problem landing a cargo plane that can land directly in lead.

First, he decides to inspect it from above in order to understand the situation on the ground, and pulls out a small aerial aircraft about the size of a small truck and maneuvers it at the hands of the crew of the cargo plane. First, from over 1000m, Shinohara, Yamazaki, and Yasudo and Shibata, the staff of their own squad, will also observe the terrain.

Explain as Shinohara points.

"The oil well will definitely leave if you dig in that slightly indented position over there.

The reserves in the oil fields are over 50 million tonnes, so if only petrochemical materials are consumed, decades will suffice. While the chemical plant site is about 500 meters away, I think the eastern flatlands should be wide spread. "

Narayama nods. "Yeah, I thought it was that strip from the surveying diagrams you sent us too. If Shinohara-san's position is fine, it is helpful because it is closer than originally thought. Mr. Yamazaki, is the location of the oil well in Shinohara's position?"

Yamazaki says, nodding. "Yeah, I thought I was in that position too"

"Thank you. Then, in addition to the petrochemical plant, there seems to be a plastic factory and its secondary product factory, etc. in this area, which will eventually become quite a town, but as for the location of the city, can we proceed as a position from the factory location to the western hill," Shinohara, Sakayama says after looking at Yamazaki.

"Yeah. Wouldn't that be nice? It seems spacious enough. Also, there's a river running over that hill, so it's not bad," Shinohara said, agreeing with Yamazaki.

"Thank you. Therefore, the immediate quarters should be close to the site of the future city, somewhere with that tree. Therefore, the loading and unloading will first grate the materials of the dormitory in that position, then land and unload the boring machines and steel pipes, etc. for the construction of the oil wells there, and then lower the plant equipment to the location of our land. Are you sure about that?

Shinohara and Yamazaki agree. "Now let's get off near the cargo plane. Shibata, please board the cargo plane with Yasudo and show the pilot where you are."

After the plane landed, Shibata, and Yasudo descended, Nariyama added, "Shinohara, I'd like to see a little more of this area if I can. Among other things, we want to find gravel and sand." Speaking to Shinohara, Yamazaki also said, "We'd like to find you, too," he said.

"Yeah, it could be in the river plain. Let's go."

The aerial plane takes off again. I found a river about 10 meters wide right away, but I don't see any gravel, sand.

"Well, let's head downstream."

About 1 km down, the terrain gradient has slowed and sand and gravel have deposited over 100 m on both banks, continuing for about 500 m. You can see the surface of Lake Pearl just now.

"This is good. That's all we need for the moment," Sakayama and Yamazaki say.

Twenty cargo planes and one passenger plane all pulled up a week later.

The construction of Nariyama's site is well under way, as are the planned construction squads. Two days later, the quarters, including the construction squads, can be built and some of the landscaping of the area where the city is now scheduled to be built is progressing. A shallow well door has been dug near the river to obtain a sufficient quantity of quality water.

With regard to drainage, due to the strict requirement not to pollute the environment, a sewage treatment system using a small membrane that I brought was put into operation, so that the water after purification was a little coloured but seemingly drinkable, so transparent that a month later I named it this new city, for the time being the town of Kawagawa, but the staff and families who lived there for the time being, the quarters where 2,000 families could live, what should be called homes, and shops, etc., were completed. At that stage, the support unit of the construction squad lifted to Pearl City.

The 10 Sakayama men have proceeded to assemble more and more of the plants they brought, but after two weeks, they all gathered and watched the shochu they drink, and Shibata said, "Oh, I can run out of booze in a little while. I'm not so much, but you'll be in trouble, Hirota."

"Hehe, haha! Is there a drain on me? It's impossible, such as bringing so much material, and not making use of that space even though there are so many things that are just dongalas. Behold!"

Yasuda retrieves the case of the black paper pack. "Ah! Shochu Kurofujima. What's wrong with that?" Shibata screams.

"This, I brought in, is one of a thousand packs. 1.6 million yen, you put all your savings together. Guys, pay properly when you drink."

"Era! Yasuda! You're great. But I wish I could use that wisdom for work. I have heard that the production of shochu in Shinmatsuma is very fast. Probably could do it in two years.

Now at 1.8kl, 900 days as 2l a day, and 425 days a year, so it's two bottles at 2l a day.If you divide it by 10, it's a good point. Yasuda. "

Veteran Shibazaki praises.

Sakayama thought to himself, "I made it in Yasuda," but he couldn't say so and smiled bitterly.

"But what I want you all to understand is that the calculations I just made are as 10 people. Don't know it won't be long when you get more people. It's an absolute secret that we have this. You get it" Shibazaki tempers me.

But looking at the device two days later, he said, "You can buy alcohol at the Pearl City Purchasing Department. We have enough quantities available, please buy them".

The price is 1,500 yen for Black Misty Island, which is cheaper than Hirota bought. Thanks to the fact that weight is not much of a problem in the case of anti-gravity propulsion, someone noticed that there was a lot of space in the cargo, so I made the most of it.

"Yes! No." Yasuda mourns with her head in her arms how hard she struggled to sneak the shochu I bought into the equipment.

"Well, it's comforting because I don't have to buy it for the moment. We're not gonna waste your time."

Shibata comforted me.

With that happening, the work on the site progressed, and 1.5 months later, the oil well facility was completed and commissioning began. The petroleum layer is pressurized, so naturally the oil sprays itself. Naturally, the oil well development team below Yamazaki is gathered, and Shinohara is also here. In addition, both the driver of the oil well facility and the driver of the chemical plant built by Sakayama and others have been sent by the petrochemical company and are present with them.

"First, the pressure is 1.2bar, so when the valve is fully opened, it blows up more than 10m. First, open it up a little and do a quality survey."

Brown crude oil accumulates in the beaker. "We'll do a simple exam. Hmm. Light oil, low sulphides, great quality. I can use it for production without any problems with the chemical plant I'm making right now. A while ago, it was a huge asset," Shinohara says.

"Even now the value of petrochemicals as raw materials remains the same," Sakayama says.

A week later, the plant that Nariyama and the others were building was completed. Already, the piping from the oil wells was complete, so we immediately enter the commissioning. Plants are currently under construction in adjacent areas to make various secondary products from polyethylene and PVC that have been made, and will be partially operational next month. This is an excellent way of putting the factory materials carried on the cargo plane into operational condition in just over a month because they were prefabricated as much as possible. The capacity of the plant is currently tailored to 80,000 tons of plant per year, assembled by Nariyama and others, but is scheduled to expand to 1 million tons of resin per year to be built in the future.

In the future, the construction of the new yama is conceived to use as many resin products as possible to avoid too much depletion of wood resources.

The resin plant should be started up and made by the factory start of the secondary product.

Nariyama and the others are in the final stages of designing the facility and are in parallel to this, creating land for use. Instead of basically building one large plant, the plant decided to create five series of facilities with an annual production of 200,000 tonnes. It goes hand in hand with the desire to use the operating machines quickly by making a large number of standardized ones of up to 1 million kW, rather than making a small number of giant machines in FR machine construction.

At the end of March, half a month from now, will come the sons of his wife, and the daughters of his daughters, and the first chapter of his son. I hadn't heard the details yet, but that was stated in the footage of the memory sent by my wife.

Also, employees' families are supposed to come at the same time. Already, we have each house, and they're all strained.
