Volume 1 Chapter 15 Oriental Magic—Black Technology
Putting aside those who want to be wrong, Li Sheng can probably be sure that this tribe should be an indigenous tribe that is still isolated from the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
These natives didn't even have an iron pot, just a stone pot three or four inches thick. The food made from the roots was baked with a slate next to the fire. These prove that they have not yet entered the Iron Age, not even the Bronze Age.
Such a tribe lives on its own turf, and Li Sheng doesn't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. However, there should not be any direct contact between the two sides, and it will not affect the construction of the farm. He decided to leave the tribe alone for the time being.
He drove all the lakes, and in the center of them, he built a link with the large lake of space, balanced the water pressure, and there were waterways to drain the water. As a result, the water level of these lakes may rise due to heavy rains, but not during the dry season. Of course, although the lake in the space is quite large, Li Sheng does not plan to let a large amount of lake water pour into this world. He needs to observe how much water the grass in the playground consumes from the lake, and in the end it will only keep the water level from dropping, and the amount of water flowing out in the dry season will not exceed half a second per second.
However, it is necessary to ensure that the water level of the lake is higher than the surrounding ground, so that the water pressure can be maintained to replenish the surrounding groundwater.
More than a week after the grass seed is planted, the grass seed in the ground has sprouted and is growing rapidly. The original wasteland is a yellowish-green color. The lake's water had a stronger effect on the grasses than he had ever imagined.
After discovering the indigenous tribes, he never went deep into the jungle again. Even if you go in, you can occasionally go around the edge of the jungle, or go to the space to kill a cow or a sheep, which is a pastime.
Later, I got bored, so I cultivated a small vegetable patch near the wooden house area. There are no agricultural tractors on the ranch yet, so he can only use a hoe to reclaim it. He worked hard for two days and finally cultivated more than an acre of vegetable land and planted some vegetables and fruits. In this way, there is also a reason to take vegetables out of the space in the future.
Occasionally, he would consider the dozens of indigenous people. It's just that he doesn't plan to continue visiting them until he has figured out how to place them. He knew how the natives perceived being watched, and perhaps it seemed to them to be very hostile acts. A careless mistake may cause some unsolvable misunderstanding. At that time, Li Sheng was unable to communicate with the other party.
He wasn't afraid of the natives. If his heart is dark enough, these days are enough for him to secretly wipe out the entire tribe with a gun. He has his own bottom line. These natives were born and raised, and legally this was his territory, but they were no different from the Portuguese colonizers of hundreds of years ago, who were just people who had usurped their land. It's just a robbery, robbery and murder, he can't get past himself no matter what.
He fished alone in the ranch for two days and dried his nets for three days, and when he was bored, he went to the shooting range to shoot a target for a day.
Time passed day by day. The grass in the wasteland has grown to a length of 50 centimeters, and it can grow 3 centimeters a day. And they can already enjoy the space lake water in the small lake. Li Sheng's life was lightened again.
Of the three workers, Thomas was the first to call to say he was back. He first called from the United States and asked Li Sheng if he was on the ranch. Knowing that he was still there, he said when he planned to work on the ranch. But he needs to get to Belém first.
Hearing that he was going to Belen first, Li Sheng also asked him not to rush back: "The ranch needs a batch of agricultural machinery, such as rice transplanters, harvesters, and wheat seeders and harvesters. Of course, several sets of plows are also needed. ”
Thomas groaned on the phone and said, "Lee, how much land are you going to cultivate?"
The question of how much land to reclaim, Li Sheng really hadn't seriously thought about it before. He thought about it and said, "Fifty thousand to eighty thousand acres." ”
"Do you really want to cultivate that much arable land? I'm afraid you're going to need a lot of manpower, and you're going to need a lot of big tractors. Thomas said right away. "There are not big enough agricultural tractors in Brazil, and they are expensive. I suggest you buy it in the USA and ship it over. ”
"That's not asking us to go through the import formalities. I don't know anything about that. ”
Thomas smiled and said, "No, of course we don't need to handle it. In fact, the tariffs on machinery in the relevant tariff agreement between the United States and Brazil are very low. The U.S. side will contact the branch here, and the machinery will be delivered to the door. Of course, you will need to pay for shipping and customs duties. But even so, the price is still cheaper than buying similar equipment in Brazil. ”
Li Sheng thought about it for a while and felt that Thomas could still be trusted. And the price of those machinery can be found on the Internet. If he wants to take water, he can just tell someone who should not be tolerated. So he said, "Yes." You first order a batch of farm machinery in the United States. I don't know how much to buy. It's good to buy it back after you consult. ”
Thomas smiled and said, "Then I can count this as overtime." ”
Li Sheng also smiled and said, "Of course, I will pay two bottles of Huaxia liquor as overtime pay." He laughed a little and said again. "When you get to Belém, buy some bullets and come back. I've been using it a lot lately. Needless to say, Thomas knew the gun he used. Knowing the model of the gun will find the right bullet.
As a result, when Thomas actually came from the United States, Barbur and Anthony also returned to Brazil with him, and on the same plane.
When they arrived at Obidus, Li Sheng flew them back with a dozen boxes of bullets. On the plane, they noticed a change in the ground below. When he was on the plane, Anthony frowned and said, "Lee, haven't the three of us been back for a year and a half?"
"Maybe we're flying in the wrong direction. Thomas said with a smile.
Babur just glanced at Li Sheng, as if thinking about something.
The plane landed. All three of them discovered a problem, the airport was originally more than a meter higher than the surrounding land, and when it was built, it was only about 50 centimeters higher than the surrounding area, in order to prevent the airport from standing up in water. After the surrounding soil has been washed away, the ground here is about a meter higher than the surrounding area. And now it seems to be back to the height that was just built. And the soil in those meadows has changed significantly.
"Lee, I think something terrible must have happened here. Babur looked at Li Sheng and said.
Li Sheng can't tell any lies, and this change can be seen by everyone. But it was obviously not possible to tell the truth, so he had to say: "It's hard for me to tell the real situation." You guys should think of it as black technology. ”
"Do you mean Oriental magic?" said Thomas, still smiling. "I think it's a big discovery. ”
Hearing what Li Sheng said, they also knew that Li Sheng was not going to talk about these things. They are all Americans, and they are most concerned about privacy and so on, and no matter how curious they are, they don't continue to ask. And Li Ming is still their boss. Li Sheng didn't want to say, and they didn't want to ask again.
Because they had luggage and bullets, Li Sheng drove over in a pickup truck. It can fit everyone and everything. In the car, Li Sheng told them: "The woodland in the south, except for the outermost three kilometers or so, should never be flooded by the river again." But the woodland was left to it. It can also prevent soil erosion to some extent. ”
The three of them listened, although they were still a little surprised by the changes in the ranch for more than a month, but they were surprised and surprised, and they didn't ask any more questions such as what happened.
However, the car was also dull for a while. When the car returned to the wooden house, it was Thomas who broke the silence and said, "Lee, don't tell me that you have been cultivating this land all these days. ”
He saw a vegetable patch that had just sprouted.
Li Sheng closed the car door and said with a smile: "Of course not, I also used oriental magic to transform this wasteland." ”
He walked to the back of the car and picked up two boxes of ammunition: "That's right. Did you know that there are natives in the jungle to the north?"
The faces of the three of them changed. Li Shengleng paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter? You've seen them before?"
Babur muttered, "We searched for them, but we didn't find them. Did you meet them?"
Li Sheng felt that there must be something in this that he didn't know, so he nodded and said, "No meeting." It's just that I saw them, but I didn't dare let them find out until I wasn't sure how they were right for us. Is there a story in this?"
Babur nodded and said, "Now that you've discovered them, we can't hide it from you anymore." Lest there be any surprises. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, the forest farm had contact with the indigenous people a year ago. Our lumberjacks were doing resource surveys in the jungle and encountered three indigenous people. The damned workers opened fire, wounding and capturing a native. They burned him to death. They were retaliated against by the natives, and five people were killed by poisoned arrows on the spot. One worker who came back alive was evicted from the forest farm and the news broke the news to the media. After the media reported the incident, the forest farm was under tremendous pressure to continue logging. Later, Brazil announced new regulations on timber export taxes. Under the multiple blows, the forest farm was shut down. The previous owner was going to sell the farm. But it didn't sell until you took over. ”
