Chapter 99 Civil strife

Regardless of whether he is convinced or not, the facts are irrefutable before his eyes. Apart from lamenting the injustice of God, Luo Shengdong has no other way to restore the growing gap between the two. Luo Shengdong knows very well that Haihan people

He didn't care about letting him see these things at all, and even showed them to him consciously, just like showing him those sharp guns and cannons last time, because even if he knew the existence of these steam engines and advanced weapons,

There was no way for the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to copy it. This feeling of powerlessness greatly diluted the joy brought by the previous large sum of money, and Luo Shengdong even had the idea of ​​leaving Victory Port overnight.

Although the trial production of the steam engine was a complete success, Chuangchuan Zhong has not forgotten about it. The prototype currently built still has many problems, such as heavy weight, low heat conversion rate, and poor sealing performance... Many projects still need to be completed.

Improvements have to be made in the manufacturing process. Moreover, such a large steam engine can only be placed in mines or factories. If you want to use it as propulsion power, currently such a machine is far from meeting the requirements.

At present, this kind of reciprocating double-action steam engine is not a problem to use as a fixed power source, but if you want to put it on a ship, you must build a multi-expansion steam engine with a more complex structure. Because

The replenishment of fresh water at sea is greatly restricted, and ordinary reciprocating steam engines consume a large amount of fresh water when working, and can only be used by small boats on inland waterways. However, due to their structural advantages, multi-expansion steam engines

During the work process, the steam can re-enter the boiler for heating through the continuous decompression process, thus greatly saving the consumption of fresh water, which is very suitable for use on seagoing ships.

However, the structure of the multi-expansion steam engine is much more complex than the reciprocating type. There are more than three cylinders alone, which increases the difficulty of processing and preparation. According to the opinions given by the expert group, with the current situation

It is not impossible to build a multi-expansion steam engine using an almost purely manual processing method, but the price/performance ratio is too low. The entire metallurgical workshop plus a group of fitters with varying technical levels may not be able to build a qualified one in just one month.

Products. The most feasible way is to wait until the mechanical processing equipment is installed and the hydropower station is put into operation, and then use the advanced equipment brought to process important parts.

Moreover, putting a steam engine on a ship does not mean that you can just build a multi-expansion steam engine. How to set up the cabin, adjust the center of gravity of the ship, how to calculate the amount of water and coal under actual operating conditions, determine the cruising range of the ship, and the underwater propulsion system

Manufacturing, etc., no subject can be easily solved.

The Executive Committee also knows that this process of climbing the technology tree cannot be rushed. Even if the principles of many things are known, and even if the drawings are in front of them, limited by the current objective conditions, what cannot be built will still not be built. So.

The opinion of the expert group was approved by the Executive Committee, and large-scale steam engine manufacturing was slightly delayed for a while. The next step was to focus on improving the design plan and process flow of the steam engine.

After dawn, Luo Shengdong, who was full of thoughts, left Base 2 and returned to Victory Port. All the trade was completed yesterday, and all the goods that should be loaded onto the ship have been loaded. Today, he can leave for Wenchang, where there are still

There were hundreds of taels of silver waiting for him. But what made Luo Shengdong a little disappointed was that when he left the port today, no leader of the Haihan people came to the pier to see him off. There were only a few Ming people on the pier.

The sailor was helping to untie the cable, which was very different from the scene when he left the dock the previous two times.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be too familiar with these Haihan people?" Luo Shengdong left Victory Harbor with a hint of melancholy.

In fact, Luo Shengdong had a little misunderstanding. It was not that no one wanted to go to the dock to see him off. It was just that he received news early this morning that something happened at the farm commune. Several powerful figures in the executive committee rushed over to deal with the emergency.

I won’t go up to Victory Port to see Luo Shengdong off.

When the sky was dark, the farm commune sent a distress message to the executive committee, saying that a "large-scale bloody conflict" had occurred in the commune.

After joining the newly established security company, they hurried to the farm commune. Yan Chujie, who was leading the team, remembered halfway through that he had forgotten to notify the medical team, and quickly contacted the base to ask Old Morgan to lead the medical team to catch up as soon as possible.

When the emergency response team arrived at the farm commune village, they found that the conflict here had ended. There were a lot of messy household items, clothes, hoes and sticks scattered in the open space outside the village entrance, and pools of blood that had not yet dried up could be seen. There were several.

The injured person was still lying on the ground moaning feebly. The assailant had apparently dispersed, which allowed the originally nervous rescue team to breathe a little easier.

Yan Chujie ordered the security team to spread out to maintain order, and let people with first aid knowledge perform basic treatment on the injured. At the same time, he asked people to find people from the commune management committee. When the management committee sent a distress message in the morning, Yan Chujie

They have been asked to ensure their own safety as soon as possible, not to act rashly, and wait until the rescue team arrives. The executive committee does not want anyone to step forward to be a hero when the situation is unclear. If someone is accidentally killed by these minds,

It was not worth it for simple Ming Dynasty farmers to be beaten to death or injured.

Several people from the management committee were found quickly. Their residence in the commune was built separately and was independent of the entire commune village. After the incident, they followed the requirements of the executive committee and stayed in the house without going out.

, until the rescue team arrives.

Gao Huan, who was the supervisor, was still trembling when he spoke. It seemed that he was frightened by the situation at that time: "I went out in the morning... and saw two groups of people fighting at the entrance of the village, and they were all violent.

Hands...I yelled a few times and no one listened to my greetings, so I came back and called you..."

Another person in charge of civil affairs never went out from the beginning to the end. He had no idea what was going on outside, so he couldn't say anything.

The only remaining members of the military and police department who are expected to be responsible for public security are the members of the military and police department who are stationed in the farm commune. They are a dark-skinned Mongolian man named Harugong. He once served in the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

This is also the only organized cavalry unit in the country in later generations. In view of Harugong's special experience, the Military and Police Department has already decided that he must be the cavalry instructor of the naturalized civilian unit in the future, and assigned him to be stationed in the farm commune.

One of the reasons is that he spends a lot of time with horses, and is able to take care of and tame the horses that are currently being raised by the farm commune.

Regarding the reason for participating in time travel, Harugong may be regarded as a special type among the time travellers. His ancestors are said to be the Mongolian Orona family, who served several high officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and later changed their name to Han in the Ming Dynasty.

His surname is Ha. And Harugong chose to participate in time travel because he really wanted to come to this era to look for traces of his ancestors. Although hundreds of years have passed since his family's most glorious period, Harugong thought that maybe it could still happen.

In this time and space, you meet one of your ancestors, or something like that, and stage a journey of finding your roots across time and space.

Harugong, who had been a soldier, was obviously much calmer than his two colleagues. He calmly recounted what happened in the morning: "...I heard Gao Huan come back and shout that there was a fight outside, so I went out to take a look with my gun on my back.

, I also recognized a few guys, it was probably a fight between old and new immigrants... As for the number of people, there were about twenty-four or five people participating. Considering safety issues, I didn’t step forward to stop them, so I went there with a gun.

I guarded the livestock shed, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause damage. I didn't come back until the gang had dispersed."

"These guys..." Yan Chujie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If it was just an internal fight between old and new immigrants, it would be relatively simple in nature. He was afraid of an invasion by foreign enemies or an attack on the traversers.

.As for these immigrants, a few casualties are not a big deal.

This is not because Yan Chujie is too ruthless and regards human life as nothing, but this kind of fighting is nothing new among the people. He gnawed a few handfuls of green seedlings for the sake of the cattle, the direction of the stream, and whose land should be included in the fields.

It may lead to a village-level armed fight. Although the commune has a management committee, a management organization with only a few people has to take charge of a large group of villagers who have no concept of the rule of law. It obviously lacks sufficient deterrence, and even

Even when a fight breaks out, they don't dare to come forward to dissuade them. Of course, there are objective reasons for this. After all, the military and police departments have limited power, and the newly trained security companies are basically deployed outside Victory Port and No. 2 Base to provide security.

It is a problem-prone area, and because the commune has a series of rules and regulations to restrain the members, the social order is relatively stable, so the Military and Police Department has not deployed strong institutions in the commune.

Now that something like this has happened, it is impossible for the Military and Police Department to turn a blind eye. If it is not dealt with seriously, then the Military and Police Department may leave and the commune will start fighting again. At this time, the medical team led by Old Morgan finally

Rushed to the farm commune and began to treat the wounded. Soon the medical team counted the injuries caused by this large-scale fight: two people died and five people were seriously injured, two of whom may become disabled. There were no injuries at the scene

The reason for finding the slightly injured was that these guys had probably run home and hid. But now they couldn’t hide even if they wanted to. Yan Chujie had already led his troops to investigate one house at a time, and the injured guys didn’t need to be interrogated at all.

Just arrest him first and then talk about it.
