Staying on the island overnight is naturally not an uncommon thing for Zhuang Haiyang and others, who often drift on the sea. It's just that the island that came tonight is not an uninhabited island. In some cases, it is still necessary to avoid it.

Except for Hong Wei and another security officer, the rest of the crew who landed on the island in a lifeboat all returned to the fishing boat to rest without exception. And Xu Hui and others, naturally, there are no taboos, and they themselves are also here to inspect the work.

Under the leadership of the sentry commander stationed on the island, Zhuang Haiyang briefly checked the situation on the island. The land area of this island is not as good as that of Nanshan Island. The area available for construction is not small, but the land available for cultivation is scarce.

The vast majority of the land is rocky with a reef structure. It's okay to build a house on this kind of rock, but it's impossible to think of growing vegetables or something. Even if you bring soil from the inland, it will be difficult to grow anything.

After some inspection, when he returned to the outpost to rest, Xu Hui also said curiously: "Ocean, how is the situation?"

"I didn't look very closely! However, there are a few places on the island that should still be cultivated as vegetable fields. The main situation now is to find a relatively reliable source of fresh water. There is no fresh water, and it is difficult to cultivate vegetable fields!"

"Yes, don't look at the many islands in the waters under our jurisdiction, but there are not many islands that are really suitable for garrisoning. It's just that in the current situation, we must strengthen the actual control of the surrounding waters, and some construction will not work without doing it!"

Regarding the difficulties Xu Hui said, Zhuang Haiyang naturally knew it. With a long coastline, it is difficult to achieve actual control by relying solely on the regular patrols of the naval fleet. Sometimes, the only way to do this is to rely on the nearest troops on the island.

Once a suspicious crew member is found, a guard post stationed in the nearby sea area can immediately go to disperse or warn them. In the case of the naval fleet, it may take several days to sail on the sea.

Sometimes, shortly after the patrol fleet has left, the suspicious ships invade again. In this case, only by strengthening the actual control of the surrounding waters can we ensure the safety of coastal defense and prevent other ships from easily invading.

Zhuang Haiyang, who knew this, could only say: "Company commander, don't worry too much. There are always more ways than difficulties, and since I'm here, you have given me the title of an expert. If it doesn't work, I'll lose face!"

After saying these words with a smile, Zhuang Haiyang didn't talk much to Xu Hui and the others. Returning to the room arranged for him at the outpost to rest, Zhuang Haiyang quickly walked out of the outpost in the early hours of the morning, when most of them were resting.

The sentries who were on duty had also been notified in advance. Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang was going out, he also said enthusiastically: "Squad leader Zhuang, why did you get up so early?

"I'm used to waking up early to work out, and I like to swim a few laps in the morning in the ocean. You keep standing guard, and I'll go outside. ”

After chatting with the sentry, Zhuang Haiyang came to the location of the island dock, took off his coat, and jumped directly into the sea under the watchful eye of the sentry. Although the sentry was a little puzzled, he knew that Zhuang Haiyang should not be in any danger.

From what they learned last night, the three people who stayed at the outpost were all veterans from the army. Zhuang Haiyang, who was the leader, looked very young, but he was invited from above to improve the environment of the outpost for them.

For these sentinels, it is believed that if they have the opportunity to eat the vegetables they grow, it will also be very rewarding. Even if the supply ships do not arrive on time due to typhoons or bad sea conditions, they do not have to eat canned food every day.

Stationed on an isolated island far from the mainland, there is no shortage of staple food and meat. What is really lacking is the green vegetables that are not lacking in the inland. If you stay on the island and don't eat vegetables for a long time, you are prone to physical problems.

What seems to be a small vegetable garden is an important nutritional supply station for these officers and soldiers stationed on the isolated island. If the outpost needs to be expanded, then it is also very meaningful to have a vegetable garden!

Dive into the sea and swim around the sea where the island is located. Through spiritual power, he senses the water veins of the island. When he saw that the island actually had fresh water veins, it was just more seriously blocked.

Thinking of the limited time, Zhuang Haiyang did not hesitate too much, released the Dinghai Pearl, and threw it into the freshwater veins of the island. As Dinghaizhu began to sort out the water veins, Zhuang Haiyang also chose a water source flashpoint.

After doing this, looking at Dinghaizhu, who also absorbed a lot of beneficial energy, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "It seems that if you have the opportunity, you still have to let Dinghaizhu comb some more water veins." There seems to be a lot of energy in this water vein!"

Combing the water veins can effectively improve the ecology of an island. Most of the beneficial energy contained in the water veins is also accumulated over time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of combing, Dinghaizhu can also absorb the energy while feeding back the energy.

When the wake-up call sounded at the outpost, Hong Wei and the others woke up when they heard the horn. Seeing the empty bed next to him, Hong Wei also smiled bitterly: "It seems that our vigilance needs to be improved." We didn't even notice anyone was leaving!"

"Yes, I guess the ocean has gone to the sea again to exercise!"

Just when the officers and soldiers of the outpost were out of the morning exercise as usual, Xu Hui and others, who also rushed over, saw the disappeared Zhuang Haiyang, and were also very curious: "Lao Hong, where is the ocean?"

"I asked the sentry just now, and he got up early. This is his habit, as long as he goes out to sea and does not go into the sea to exercise for a period of time in the morning, it is estimated that he will not feel comfortable all over. ”

As soon as he heard this, the officer who accompanied him on the island was also surprised: "Squad leader Zhuang has such a good water nature?"

"Well, he's not only good at water, but also good at physical fitness. It's okay, look at the time, he should be back soon. ”

Sure enough, when Hong Wei and the others acted as spectators, watching the sentry officers and soldiers doing morning exercises. Zhuang Haiyang, who had gone to the sea to exercise before, had already returned to the outpost with the wet clothes he had changed.

After breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang took Xu Hui and the others to a place with relatively much soil near the outpost. Walking along a few pieces of land, Zhuang Haiyang pointed to a piece of land and said, "Old company commander, do you see this piece of land?"

"You're an expert in this area, you can do it. It's just this location, is it really okay? I think this land is all sand. There is not much vegetation nearby, and presumably there is not much fresh water. Can you really grow vegetables in this land?"

In front of Zhuang Haiyang, Xu Hui naturally didn't have to hide any true thoughts. And he also knows that Zhuang Haiyang's character is also a straight character who has something to say. Talking around the corner, each other will feel tired.

Listening to what Xu Hui said, and the sentry chief also looked suspicious, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, this land seems to be inconspicuous, but if you improve it, it should be a good land." Lao Hong, give me the shovel!"

Taking the shovel from Hong Wei's hand, Zhuang Haiyang immediately dug a shovel of soil. Seeing that the soil covered on it does contain more sand. If you dig a little lower, the soil will appear sticky, which is different from the soil above.

Seeing that the excavated soil should indeed be suitable for growing vegetables or something, the sentry chief said with a little caution: "Squad Leader Zhuang, the soil of this land is indeed good! But here, there should be no fresh water, right?"

"Chief Qian, don't worry! Since I dare to choose this piece of soil, there is naturally a reason. In any case, I am also an expert hired by your chief of staff. If you can't even get a piece of land, this expert can't be justified!"

After saying these words, Zhuang Haiyang looked around along the land again. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhuang Haiyang began to use the sapper shovel in his hand and began to dig one of the locations. It didn't take long to dig and I saw the rocks underneath.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Company commander, is there anything to blast here at the outpost?"

"What? You want to blow up this rock down there?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a good source of water under this stone. The reason why there is no fresh water here is probably because this rock is blocked. Just blow it up, and fresh water should come out. ”

"Alright, little money, you go get some tools and blow this rock away. ”

Although he felt that Zhuang Haiyang's approach was a bit unreliable, seeing that the other party was not joking, Xu Hui was still willing to believe in the other party's ability. If not, why would he call and ask the other party to come over and help solve such a difficult problem?

According to Zhuang Haiyang's instructions, after installing the blasted things. With a loud bang, the seemingly solid rock split apart in an instant. To everyone's shock, the moment the rock exploded, a stream of spring water rushed out in an instant.

Looking at the column of water that rushed up several meters high, everyone present instantly became excited. Qian Sentinel, who was a little skeptical before, said even more excitedly: "Wow, squad leader Zhuang, you are really amazing! Here, there is really fresh water!"

"That's right! Looking at the height of this water column, it is estimated that the amount of fresh water in this spring should be quite large. I suggest that you then find a way to dig a well nearby. It was even possible to use the well as drinking water for the outpost. ”

Although the outpost is equipped with desalination equipment, it costs a lot to turn on the equipment. If there were natural freshwater resources, many problems could be solved. Correspondingly, the officers and men at the outpost do not need to save water as before.

Previously, Dinghaizhu was used to lead the water vein outbreak point directly to this position, and as long as the earth vein and the water vein did not change greatly in the future, I believe that the fresh water provided by this water source should be enough for the daily use of the outpost.

Looking at the water column that was gradually falling, Xu Hui and the others also ran over and drank a few sips of water directly with their hands. After confirming that this was indeed fresh water, everyone was extremely happy. With such an abundance of fresh water, are you afraid that there will be no water to irrigate the ground?

In addition to successfully finding a water source and solving the problem of insufficient fresh water supply for the outpost, there is also a suitable soil for planting nearby. The follow-up reclamation of vegetable fields naturally does not need Zhuang Haiyang to do it himself.

Leave two bags of mysterious fertilizer that they brought with them, and tell them to be mixed in the reclaimed soil when Chief Qian Sentry reclaimed the vegetable field. How to plant and take care of the vegetable garden in the future, presumably there is no need to worry about Zhuang Haiyang.

As far as these officers and men stationed on the island are concerned, with such favorable resources, it is believed that they will also be able to manage this vegetable field well. Wait a while to come back, maybe you will have a chance to eat the fresh vegetables grown at this outpost!
