Since then, starting with ductile iron, Boss Luo has begun to develop a new generation of weapons on this basis - the famous firearm later called the "Federal 1659 Rifle".

Also, after a series of heat treatments, this ball milled cast iron will also be used in the development of the barrel of the 92 infantry gun, well, in a strict sense, this field infantry gun should be called "high imitation simplified version of the 92 infantry gun".

Of course, the most widely used rail cars are still used in mines and red docks, because their load capacity is not too large, so for industrial applications, the durability of bearings and camshafts machined in ductile iron and heat-treated is acceptable.

In any case, in a sense, this rail car is actually the first "heavy industrial product" of the metallurgical/mechanical industry of the traversers to realize the temporal transformation.

The whole process of handling and unloading goods on the dock greatly opened the eyes of the sailors on the three sailing ships from this plane.

Compared with the loading and unloading operation mode of the wharf with a board and a shoulder to carry in this era, this tower crane is not only labor-saving, but also time-saving, which greatly improves the throughput capacity of the wharf.

In addition, they were most surprised by the railcar and the black guy spewing white gas on the tracks in the distance, and of course a huge building on the shoreline not far from the sand of the pier, which was very smooth in appearance, and did not look like it was made of stone, let alone wood, and the curious crew learned after consulting the captain that the substance was called cement.

They also learned from the captains that the building was a slipway, and many sailors guessed that in fact---- from ancient times to the present, the architectural style of the slipway has not changed much, only the materials and size of the slipway have changed.

What's more, there are already two prototypes of ships on it, and sailors with a little knowledge know that it is indeed a slipway for shipbuilding, and they can see that the two ships on the slipway that are beginning to take shape are actually replicas of the Australian iron ship - Pride.

The loading and unloading of the entire fleet was not completed until the evening, followed by the sailors disembarking in batches under the leadership of the captains.

Before that, the first to disembark were a large group of children and teenagers.

There were more than 100 children, all of all skin colors, yellow, white, black, semi-black and white, and their hair was also of various colors, straight and curly, and the group of children was first taken to a building in the distance, and it was a long time before the children appeared in a new look through another exit.

The sailors noticed that the children's various clothes had been replaced by uniform clothing, the boys wore short-sleeved shirts on the top, shorts and cloth shoes on the bottom, white shirts with blue streamers tied around the collar, indigo shorts just up to the knees, black cloth and white cloth shoes, socks on the feet, and all hair was shaved into monks' heads.

The girls' costumes made the sailors look straight and in a daze, they wore short-sleeved white shirts on their upper bodies, their arms were exposed, red streamers were tied on their collars, and the most surprising thing was that the lower body was a short indigo skirt with a length that had just reached the knees.

All this made the sailors' eyes straight—

This also ...... It's too economical to save fabrics, right?!

Many people also sighed in their hearts, Australians are Australians after all, just dress like this, uh...... How can I say it, it seems a bit shocking, right?

Is it true that in Australia, women wear themselves on the street like this? If the woman was dressed so revealingly in her hometown, she would definitely be dragged to the pig cage by the patriarchs and villagers......

However, the ponytails that the girls comb uniformly are a sight to behold.

Well, in the eyes of the sailors, this kind of dress is indeed unprecedented, but many people have suddenly found that the spirit of these children seems to be different from ---- past.

As the sailors worked on the deck, their eyes drawn to the children as they watched as the group of children and boys and girls were led by a few adult Australians to a greenhouse farther away from the pier pier.

There were two tracks on the side of the greenhouse, and the black guy with the white steam was parked on the tracks, and four wagons with wooden sheds were connected to the back.

Immediately, the sailors on the three sailing ships finally witnessed the movement of the legendary Australian "magic car".

They had long vaguely heard of this kind of thing called "train" that could run by itself without livestock or manpower, and only "eat coal and drink water", and they had heard of this kind of "train" from the children on Xiaowanshan Island, these children were all students of the Qiao family's aunt, Ren Dagongzi or Huang Shenxian.

A whistle sounded suddenly, but fortunately, the sailors were now accustomed to the whistle of the Pride and were not frightened.

And so, under the astonished gaze of the sailors, the group of children finally rode away in this "magic car", and the scene made the sailors on the deck constantly amazed......

Soon, the sailors themselves will be able to experience the magic car, but before they can do so, they too will have to enter the masonry house, just like the children.

After the unloading was completed, the sailors of the three wooden galleons were led into the big house by the captains.

As soon as they stepped through the front door of the house, there was a hall with three tables and rows of stools, and behind the table sat a smiling Australian, and next to each Australian stood two or three teenagers in shirts and shorts, holding a stack of papers with words written on them.

Next, everyone walked to a certain table in turn and sat on a stool to be questioned by the Australians in person.

The questions are very simple, they are nothing more than names, ages, places of origin, what occupations they have done before, the situation of their families, whether they have attended private schools in the past, whether they have suffered from serious diseases, and so on.

After asking these questions, the boy next to you will spread out a piece of paper on the table in front of you, and although the sailors had just learned a few words in the night school some time ago, it was obvious that they could not read the document in its entirety, so one of the teenagers standing in front of you would read it to you, and in a dialect that was relatively close to where you came from.

So the group of people was excited to know that if they worked for the Australians on their ships, factories or elsewhere for eight years, they would not only receive a salary, but also no less than 30 acres of arable land or no less than 100 acres of pasture, and private land, land that could be passed on to future generations!

No one will refuse this condition, usually work for Australians to have a good salary, and eat well, in the eyes of sailors, Australians are quite good, so let alone work for eight years, even if you work until you are old, there is no problem at all, not to mention the division of land!

So the sailors quickly signed the document and solemnly pressed their own handprints.

The next step was a little more humiliating, and they were soon led into a large room next door, where the sailors could see at a glance that it was a collective bathhouse, where everyone was required to strip naked, and all their clothes were thrown into a cauldron in the corner of the room, which contained boiling water, and then they went to bathe under a row of water spraying pipes.

After bathing, everyone was given two sets of clothes, in addition to underwear and underwear, there were two black fat trousers, two pairs of black cloth stiff low-top cloth shoes, and two sky blue round-neck short-sleeved seafarers' shirts.

Next is the haircut, which is not a matter of shaving the monk's head like the previous procedure, but voluntarily, you can shave your hair like an Australian, and of course you can go to the side to face a half-human-tall glass mirror to take care of your long hair.

A rare and expensive thing like a large glass mirror is actually used on such an occasion?! I am afraid that there is nothing in the palace, but it actually appeared in our bathhouse!

The sailors suddenly felt a little shaken in their hearts......
