Hu Xun was sleeping soundly with his little wife in his arms, when he was suddenly called up.
"What's the matter?" He woke up immediately - if his men dared to break into his bedroom and wake him up, there must be something important.
"No, there are coming in the bay - coming - so many -" the servant said angrily while gesturing, "so many boats!"
"Pirate?!" Hu Xun was shocked, and quickly put on his clothes and got up, "Hurry up and hit the gong, all fuckers, get ready to fight!" After saying that, he jumped out of bed and without looking back, yelled at his little wife who was still in a daze on the bed.
Say, "Quickly, change clothes!"
The sound of gongs outside began to beat loudly and slowly. The village suddenly became noisy. The young men dropped their work and ran towards the office one after another. The people in charge had already received the order from Mr. Hu and distributed swords, guns, bows and arrows to them.
The village men also had more than a dozen single-eyed muskets and three-eyed muskets. Two small cannons were also pushed out and hurriedly pulled to the entrance of the village.
Hu Xun came out of the house in a hurry, holding a big knife in his left hand and a short blazing gun in his right hand - this was a Western thing given to him by the ship owner, and the match rope had not been lit yet.
The shipowners and stewards who rested their boats in Anyu Market to wait for the wind were wandering around the streets like headless flies, asking everyone they met to find out what was going on. When they knew that a large group of pirates had arrived, many people's faces were pale, and some were howling loudly.
Cry, the ships on the pier below the stockade must not be saved.
As soon as Hu Xun arrived at the west gate, he saw a hundred people blocking the door and shouting to get out. The villagers tried their best to stop them, but to no avail. The only noise that could be heard was that they were the shipowners and sailors, who wanted to leave the village and sail away.
There were only a few people in the village, and they were pushed hard by the red-eyed people. They were gradually pushed aside, and some people went to get the door bars. The leader guarding the west gate shouted anxiously - as soon as the door opened,
What if pirates take the opportunity to break in?
Hu Xun rushed into the crowd with force, raised his knife and chopped off the heads of the two people who were taking the door bars.
"Why are you all so insane?" Hu Xun swung the blood-stained sword, "There are dozens of boats waiting outside, and none of you can get out! You've lost your life in vain!"
Everyone was shocked by his bloody sword, and no one dared to speak.
"Stay safely in the stockade and listen to my orders!" Hu Xun snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about the cargo. At least you can save your life!"
Hu Xun ordered the villagers to drive everyone back to the hotel. He boarded the gatehouse of the west gate and saw no less than fifty or sixty ships in the bay. Some were heading towards Lingao Village, and some were still flying.
Sailing deeper into the bay.
Hu Xun gasped. There was a rare five-masted ship in the fleet. But what surprised him even more was behind him. He saw several strange-looking ships sailing through the waves in the bay without sails or oars.
This kept him for a few minutes - that's okay?!
But soon something more terrifying happened. Three large two-masted ships sailed in a column towards the shore of Anyou City, and soon they arrived near the pier of Anyou City. The ship's hull was facing the stockade. He could clearly see the sides.
The square window panels opened one after another, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns. Hu Xun couldn't help but shudder: There are twelve windows on this side. How many guns are mounted on this ship?
"Mr. sir, do you want to light a cannon?" one of the villagers said. The few iron cannons and bronze cannons on the wall can only hit the beach at best. They can only be regarded as setting off a big firecracker to boost their courage.
"Set your gun!" Hu Xun no longer cared about pretending to be the Hu family of Shuinan Village. He raised his hand and said, "Set the cannon. Do you think your family is going to have a funeral and let off a cannon to hear the sound?"
The leader said: "Master! I don't think they have any intention of building a stronghold. At most, they will rob all the cargo below."
"We can't attack the stronghold without being on guard." Hu Xun said, "Tell everyone to guard carefully and not to fire off cannons randomly." After saying that, he quickly climbed down the stronghold wall with a knife. He mobilized all the men and women in the stronghold, and Ding Zhuang came up.
The village's assistant guards, women and old people, are ready to roll wood, bricks and stones and demolish the house if necessary.
But Hu Xun was not stupid enough to think that the hundreds of people in his village could withstand the attack. His only purpose in preparing like this was to tell these people that no matter who they were, An Amusement Park was not a
It's a soft persimmon, but a hard walnut. Anyone who wants to eat it will have to chew hard.
"Prepare fifty jars of wine, two soup sheep, two hundred taels of silver and one hundred bolts of cloth." Hu Xun told the steward, "Bring them all to the east gate and prepare them."
"Master, I'm afraid this little thing is not enough." The master who had been following him whispered.
"I don't know enough either." Hu Xun was a little impatient, "Let's explore the path first and try our tone first."
The landing operation was like a perfect performance, everything went according to schedule.
The first personnel transport ship docked in front of Yulin Fort, and the hatch was opened.
The neatly packed workers climbed onto the deck one by one in order. Then, under the guidance of the sailors, they descended from the gangway to the trestle.
After many days of ferrying, many people still staggered after setting foot on land. As soon as there were more people on the trestle, some people fell down after a slight push, and some people fell directly from the trestle into the sea. The surrounding boats rushed over to rescue them.
When people were fished out, those who were too physically exhausted had no time to struggle and were dragged to the bottom by their luggage. By the time they were fished out, they were already dead. A few people drowned in the initial chaos, but most people survived smoothly.
After landing on the shore, many people collapsed on the ground as soon as they stepped onto the beach, gasping for air. They were quickly picked up by the team leader and captains, and walked one by one to the distribution center set up by the Planning Institute.
Those who could not get up no matter how hard they were driven were taken in by the containment team.
Those who were able to come to the distribution center were taken to a steaming cauldron. Several people who looked like cooks scooped out a bowl of hot soup from the pot and poured it into their enamel cups. There was an indescribable flow of soup.
The aroma of flavor.
Lin Gonglao took a sip. It tasted a little bitter, a little sweet, and had the taste of herbs. It was not unpleasant to drink. It was probably some kind of decoction, specially designed to relieve seasickness. The decoction was neither cold nor hot, just palatable. Lin Gonglao drank it all in one breath.
.
The strange thing is that he soon felt that his legs and feet, which were a little weak due to sitting on the boat for too long, had strength. There seemed to be an endless supply of vitality in his body, and his spirit was much better. He looked around in surprise.
, the people around me were similar. Those who were particularly seasick and could barely walk to the distribution center felt much better after drinking a bowl of soup.
"It's really evil, what kind of panacea is this?" Lin Gonglao muttered.
What is boiling in the pot is "Energy Supplement Type B" configured by the Ministry of Health. It is a formula that Liu San, Chen Sigen and others decided after several revisions and experiments. The reason why it has such an efficacious effect is because of the main ingredients in it.
The ingredient is coca.
Coca leaf is a soft drug widely used by the working class in Central and South America. Before the Spanish conquest, the Indians used it to relieve fatigue, thirst and altitude sickness. The so-called coca culture was formed and has been
continues into the 21st century.
When the Time Travel Group originally brought the coca tree, it was precisely because of its effects and relatively minor toxic side effects. However, many among the elders still had doubts about this kind of thing and demanded that the best possible methods be adopted for its use.
Strict management system.
But pragmatism finally prevailed. The Ministry of Health prepared a large amount of this agent - almost all the harvested coca leaf reserves were used - because it was considered that developing the field project would be extremely difficult. There must be a method that can
Something to quickly restore the spirit of workers. Along with the "energy supplement", a large number of cigarettes were shipped. "Big Production" is open to supplying them for free. As long as they are willing to smoke, each person can provide up to three packs per day.
After taking the medicine and taking a short rest, someone came to call their group number. Each group of ten people had an individual number, and this number was sewn on their work clothes and luggage with cloth strips. For the Planning Institute, labor
They are not even nameless individuals, they are just parts of a labor team.
Lin Gonglao's team was sent to help the construction company's installation team build the second trestle.
Two engineering boats equipped with booms and pile drivers were towed over by motor boats. With the help of machinery, a second trestle was quickly built on the pier in front of Lingao Village using the assembled trestle brought from the ship.
A motor-generated power boat equipped with a pot camel machine lowered its eight anchors next to the trestle and set off a fire to generate electricity.
According to the plan, the original trestle in Yulin Village will become the No. 1 trestle, used as a trestle for people to pass, and the new No. 2 trestle will be dedicated to cargo loading and unloading.
Four steel booms were quickly installed. This boom is quite luxurious and uses an all-steel pipe structure and is connected with bolts. The overall weight is light and the strength is high. Using an electric hoist to lift goods can complete the unloading of most heavy-duty goods.
.
Bundles of rails were unloaded from the ship, and workers from the road engineering team began to lay the rails. The light rails will extend from the No. 2 trestle to the newly opened cargo yard outside Yulinbao. Rails cannot be laid on the beach.
Daoqian used a prefabricated frame-type roadbed, and sand and gravel were filled into the frame. The rails were fixed on top with bolts. The construction was carried out in sections, with both ends moving parallel to the middle, and the double-track track was several hundred meters long.
It was completed in less than two hours. The rail car was unloaded from the Great Whale and put into cargo transportation.
The pallets covered with rope nets and tarpaulins were unloaded one by one onto flat-bed rail cars and then pushed manually to the cargo yard. At this time, a strange big guy was hoisted from the Great Whale and ran in front of and behind a group of people.
It landed safely on the rails under the command of the operator. A standard flat rail car was equipped with a machine that was as tall as one person. This was a small locomotive made by a machinery factory using a mass-produced small steam engine. Because time was tight, the steam engine and boiler
It is almost completely exposed on the rail car. The horsepower of this small steam engine is pitiful, but it is currently the only steam engine that can be installed on a flat rail car.
Several technicians climbed up and hurriedly added water to the machine to start the fire. After struggling for almost an hour, white steam began to spurt out from the exhaust valve. The air pressure gauge showed that there was enough pressure.
Shan Daoqian looked at his watch and saw that it was three minutes ahead of schedule, which was a good sign. This extremely ugly so-called locomotive was the first locomotive on the railway. It was jointly trial-produced by the Lingao Rolling Stock Factory and the Machinery Factory. It overcame various challenges.
With few difficulties, it passed the local test in Lingao. It was named "Meteor".
"Start!" He waved the green flag in his hand.
Liang Xin stood in the car with a dark face. Behind him were large baskets filled with high-quality Hongji coal, and several indigenous workers were busy around the steam engine.
Seeing the green flag raised, he immediately moved the lever. The Meteor let out a whimper and started to hiss with steam. The ten-section flatbed truck hanging behind the front of the car set off with a clang of steel clashing.
The Meteor walked forward for a few meters and suddenly stopped. Now Dan Daoqian was anxious and jumped onto the front of the car with three steps and two steps.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know." Liang Xin was sweating profusely, and his work clothes were soaked black with sweat. He held a big wrench in his hand, "The pressure suddenly dropped, and I didn't see any air leakage..."
"Quick fix!" Shan Daoqian was very anxious. The landing plan this time was detailed down to the minute. If a problem occurs in one link, it will be delayed to the next link. Although the plan has a backup plan, no one wants to be responsible for the problem.
on this piece.
"Okay," Liang Xin, a technician in a nuclear industry company, hurriedly started around the steam engine, knocking and tightening it for a while. After a while, the air pressure recovered. The Meteor pulled the wagon and started slowly.
Get up. For this naked version of the locomotive, its horsepower is really too small. The simple little train panted and headed towards the freight yard. The speed was only 5 kilometers.
However, it is mechanized transportation after all! This train can pull enough things for workers to push hundreds of cars with purple electric tools, not to mention that some large items need to be supported by human levers.
Shan Daoqian looked at his watch. Fortunately, the delay was less than two minutes. Sun Xiao, the general coordinator of the project, did not need to adjust the plan implementation schedule.
This landing construction adopts a project system, and each project is responsible for a project manager. Planning specialist Sun Xiao is responsible for coordination.
Based on Wen Desi's standardization ideas, Sun Xiao developed a detailed plan implementation schedule: which labor team should go ashore at what time, and which equipment should be unloaded to the designated yard at what time. All projects have been formulated.
Detailed timetable for start and completion. When the project will end on what month and what time, Sun Xiao’s Planning Institute clerks can quickly judge based on the forms and cards what facilities can be activated by what time and how many workers there are.
Teams and equipment can be called upon when they are idle to maximize the role of personnel and machinery.
The use of a plan schedule also clarifies the project priorities and arranges the correct time sequence to prevent unimportant projects from receiving priority manpower and material supplies.
