It was neither vegetable oil nor peanut oil, nor European butter. Li Huamei carefully stored the paper and screwed the lid back on. It seemed that the key to the mechanism being able to operate was this oil.
Looking around, I saw two pairs of windmill leaves fixed on the shelf. They were dark and greasy. Looking closely, I saw that both the large black pieces and the windmill leaves were made of fine iron. Australians love to use iron.
Her reputation for being good at using iron was well-deserved. There were many cupboards and shelves in the cabin. She opened them one by one and explored them. They were all strange iron items. They were packed in small boxes. They were well organized. Some of the things she recognized were European carpenters.
There are also similar looking things, but most of them can’t tell what they are used for.
Ten minutes later, footsteps and the command to change the guard began to be heard outside the door. She quickly stopped her movements and held her breath for a few seconds. When the sound stopped completely, she hurriedly put away her things and walked out of the porthole.
Sneaked out.
The next day, the fleet continued its journey after completing the construction of the base. There were baskets of coconuts piled everywhere under the deck, totaling more than 5,000. Jiang Qiuyan had to prohibit everyone from drinking coconut juice as water to quench their thirst, lest anyone
Electrolyte imbalance.
The next target of the expedition team is Wanning. Specifically, Shangen Town, Wanning. There is a small pyrite mine in Shangen Town. The scale is very small. The unique thing is that it is right on the seaside. If the specific location and location can be ascertained,
For reserves, time travelers can carry out an expedition-style large-scale assault mining and mine hundreds of tons at a time.
"This thing can make sulfuric acid and can be used as fertilizer, which is very useful to us, especially sulfuric acid." Wang Luobin said, "It is easy for the coal chemical complex to produce sulfuric acid. Unfortunately, coal has to rely on imports for a long time. Mining pyrite can at least
Solve part of the problem."
"There's no need to build another Fort Wanning, right?" Chen Haiyang thought that the number of his fleet had been reduced by almost one-third, and he couldn't support the remaining men.
Wang Luobin said: "No, no, no, the mountain roots are very barren, and Wanning is not the focus of development for the time being. This place was still a vast and sparsely populated place until the 20th century, and there are probably no people in this time and space."
Just as he was talking, Ruan Xiaowu ran over and stood at attention and saluted: "Report! Commander Chen, it's time to send the report. Please sign the telegram to report the room!"
"Bring it here." Chen Haiyang took the telegram folder. Inside was today's routine telegram, reporting the fleet's current arrival location, fleet status and next destination. Although it was a routine matter, it was the most effective one when they were sailing at sea.
Security guarantee. According to the encryption regulations uniformly formulated by the Executive Committee and Lingao Telecom, starting from March 1629, each major committee and department each activated an independent code book, which was encrypted and then handed over to Lingao Telecom for transmission, reception and translation.
Each department is responsible for the work. This prevents telegrams from becoming electrified. Once a telegram is sent out, all places equipped with 15w radio stations and 5w radio stations will know about it ten minutes later. As for what kind of messages are encrypted and what kinds of messages are not encrypted,
It is up to each department to formulate its own regulations.
Today's telegram was stamped with the seal "Sea Secret" as usual. Chen Haiyang looked through it and found several telegrams. One was a clear message from Guangzhou Station. It was full of boring words. It was probably from Guangzhou Station.
The operator was chatting with the female operator from Lingao Telecom, and the other was a "sea secret" message from Changhua Fort, briefly reporting on their in-depth inspection of Li District.
"It's quite impressive. He tricked ten cows and a girl into coming back." Chen Haiyang signed the power generator and smiled as he showed the telegram to Wang Luobin, who also wanted to sign.
"It shows that everyone makes good use of mass relations. The more mass work is done, the wider the scope." Wang Luobin signed, "Establishing a foothold in Changhua and establishing a long-term friendly relationship with Li Village will be beneficial to the future development of Shilu. I think we should call the executive committee
, give them a reward such as first-class collective merit."
"Haha, Wang Gong, Xiao Zishan will never forget this, he is so easy to do this." Chen Haiyang sighed, "When we return to Lingao, a collective second-class meritorious service is indispensable, and maybe there will be another one.
Armbands can be sewn onto the sleeves.”
"Actually, it's not as good as awarding a few life secretaries -" Wang Gong originally had no interest in those dark and thin little girls, but recently he discovered that the girls who had been nourished by the water and soil of the Lingao Liberated Area had also begun to become fairer and plumper.
, it is inevitable that he will have the intention to be detrimental to the child.
"Secretary of life?" Chen Haiyang snorted, "The executive committee has good intentions, but they are afraid that the good thing will end up being bad. Instead, it will hurt everyone's feelings and affect unity."
"Brainstorm, brainstorm." As he spoke, Ruan Xiaowu had already run down. Chen Haiyang looked at his back and said with some emotion: "A child like this can look good after a few months of training, and he is willing to
They endure hardships and obey orders. They are uneducated, but they have a high level of understanding. In three or four years, when they reach adulthood, they will be our backbone - it would be great to give these girls to them then."
"Haha, you are very thoughtful. You have even thought about finding a partner for your subordinates?"
"If you want a soldier to be with you through life and death, an officer must be a true father and brother."
In the newly completed Yulinbao base, a left-behind team headed by Lao Di and Bai Guoshi was left, a total of fourteen people. They will live under the blue sky and white clouds for about a month. During this period, Bai Guoshi will fully investigate the surrounding area.
Information about the natural resources and social customs. As for Lao Di, his task is much simpler. He cuts wood here and learns to pick coconuts under the guidance of Bai Guoshi. He uses the tree climbing method to pick. According to him, picking like this is good for coconuts.
The stable and high yield of trees play an important role.
Lao Di watched the sail shadow fade away with melancholy. He turned around and said to Bai Guoshi and other time-travelers: "Let's talk about how we can take a vacation this month."
"There are quite a lot of tasks during the holiday." Bai Guoshi looked at the pile of supplies and tools left behind. There were machetes, poles, axes, saws, and a lot of ropes and rattan baskets. The iron guy didn't leave many behind, after all, he had crossed the bay.
There was a blacksmith. They also left a batch of goods that could be traded with Anyu Market, mainly sugar and shochu. The rations were reserved for a total of sixty days, and fifty taels of silver were left for emergencies.
"Let's try watching the radio first."
At that moment, Lao Di directed the sailors to pack up their belongings on the beach and move them into Yulin Fort one by one. Bai Guoshi and a few other soldiers went to set up the 5W transceiver for their communication and called for five minutes.
There was already an echo from the main station, and the call sign was clear. Then they called the expedition fleet and got a reply quickly. Finally, a new signal suddenly came in from the radio station. Changhua Fort heard their call and was in the process of calling.
Response. The exchange of radio waves made everyone’s original loneliness and fear a lot lighter.
Now that he has arrived, he will make peace with him. If he wants to stay here for a month, he must first settle down himself and his subordinates. So a small division of labor was made. Lao Di served as the commander of Changhua Fort, mainly responsible for defense and construction work.
; Bai Guoshi is responsible for collecting supplies. He has received some emergency medical training and is considered a health worker in the team; Wang Tao is responsible for dealing with An Amusement City. He is responsible for all foreign negotiations and purchasing items. He also has an orphan transported from Guangzhou.
The adopted boy became his apprentice. When everyone was eager to adopt a little Lolita, his adoption of Shota made his sexual orientation a topic of discussion.
"No reason," Wang Tao said calmly, "I just want him to learn storytelling from me. Otherwise, no one will know how to speak when I die. There must be a legacy, right?"
This boy took his surname from Wang and named him Wang Degang. The name was naturally a spoof, but he sounded dignified.
Although Wang Degang is only a teenager, he has learned many traditional storytelling and cross talk jokes under the influence of his master. He is a literary and artistic backbone in the national school. Wang Tao also teaches him speech and debate every day - this is his trainer's job.
OK, he is planning to let this young apprentice run for the first term of student cadres of the National School next year. His next goal is to lobby the executive committee to establish a Youth League organization. This apprentice can take the Youth League route and rise to the top in the future.
Finally, there is Shen Yuefeng, a turtle, majoring in history and elective IT, which is of little use to time travellers. Fortunately, he loves military affairs. Thanks to the decadent American emperor, he has a lot of experience in target practice and hunting. He is a member of the remote exploration team.
He was added to the team during the expansion and received a few weeks of natural history education. He stayed here mainly to collect local animal samples and meat, and to provide food in case of food shortage.
He carries an AR-15 on his back, with four magazines attached to the equipment, an ACOG sight, and a pistol holster on his waist. Needless to say, it is a Glock, the most common self-prepared pistol in the traveling army.
Wearing an original M35 helmet, although it looks like a South American militia or anti-government armed forces, it is still armed to the teeth. It looks much safer than Lao Di holding a Mini rifle.
The old Dinamini rifle was also somewhat helpless. According to the theory of Ma Qianzhu and others, officers must use the same weapons as soldiers to make soldiers trust their weapons. So the time traveler officers of the army and navy all used Mini
Rifles and Gerinde pistols made many people complain. This time, considering the safety of the left-behind team, every traveler was finally issued an SKS rifle.
Housing was immediately assigned, and the sailors worked in groups of three to guard the three bulges. The travelers collectively guarded the east bulge and the main gate, which were the main forts.
Naturally, the interior of the house was not painted, and the walls were simply painted with cement. Although there were sleeping bags, sleeping directly on the wet ground was a risk of arthritis. Wang Tao took a few people to find a fisherman nearby.
The fishing boat crossed the bay and came to Anyu Market, where they found a carpenter who wanted to order several beds and some furniture.
"The bed doesn't need to be big. It doesn't need to be like a bed. No, no, it doesn't need to be carved. But it needs to be double-decker, do you understand? Double-decker, yes, people can sleep on it. What if it falls? You add extra space to the side of the bed.
It's a railing, yes, I'll draw it for you -" After Wang Tao made some comparisons with the local carpenter, he finally made the carpenter understand what he meant. He made Yazhou's first double bunk bed, although he still had
Stubbornly, he carved many patterns on the headboard to show his craftsmanship.
I bought furniture and found an aunt who sold homespun cloth in Anyue Market. I used a pack of sewing needles and a small amount of money to buy sheets customized according to their sizes. Everyone brought their own thin quilts and bought them.
Got straw mats and other daily necessities.
Wang Tao brought everything back one after another. In the evening, all the people lit a bonfire in the open space of Yulinbao and boiled the fast food from Caochao No. 1 to a paste. Wang Tao said:
"This place is quite difficult, but we have to make a good life for ourselves. There is a town opposite and it is close to the sea. We can make a good life by using our brains together."
"You tell me." Lao Di knew that trainer Wang Tao had many twists and turns in his heart.
A sailor raised his hand. When Lao Di saw it, he was a sailor with a background as a fisherman, his name was Shi Jinxi.
"Let Chief Wang speak first."
"No, let him speak first." Wang Tao knew that once a person with a high status said something, a person with a low status would retract his or her suggestions, which was not conducive to collecting suggestions.
"Then tell me."
"Report to the leader, there is a reef in this bay. Every day I take a few brothers to catch the sea. I can catch a lot of fish, shrimps, shells, and sea vegetables-"
"This is what I originally wanted to say!" Wang Tao agreed, "It's a great idea!"
"Thank you, chief, but if you can get a small boat and a net, you can fish in the bay and harvest more."
"Build a boat?" Lao Di thought to himself that it probably wouldn't be difficult, and it wouldn't cost much to buy it.
Shen Yuefeng said: "Having a boat is a lot more convenient for us. At least we don't have to walk around the bay all day long. It can save a lot of trouble. Besides, will we have to carry the felled wood on our shoulders? We can tow it with a boat.
Gone in the bay."
"Okay, let's build a boat. Wang Tao, will you do it?"
"Okay, I'll go to the An Amusement Park across the street tomorrow to have a look. Now I'll continue to share my thoughts -"
In the end, it was decided that Wang Jinxi would take two other sailors who were fishermen to go out to sea every morning and evening. Bai Guoshi and Shen Yuefeng took a few sailors to go out for an inspection first. On the one hand, they selected locations for coconut mining and logging, and on the other hand, they hunted along the way.
When some edible animals arrived, these people obviously didn't take the warnings from the health department to heart. But with enough meat, everyone would be more motivated. Whether it's coconut picking or logging, it's hard work.
What's more, after checking the water source situation in Yulinbao, Lao Di felt that he was not satisfied yet and wanted to improve it.
"The current water source is dug from a nearby river. Although there is a small moat, it is easy for the enemy to cut off this water source or poison it," Lao Di said.
"You want to dig a well? But you don't have the equipment."
"The water dug out from the wells is probably salt water. I want to build a culvert and divert water from the river. This way the enemy cannot easily detect it."
