The fairy days of eating and sleeping are finally over, and the laborers are back to work today. As soon as they entered the kiln area, they saw those steel monsters that appeared out of thin air and shone with a metallic luster, and the Ming people began to be uncalm.

Naturally, the traversers didn't care what their men were thinking, and the laborers were ordered to line up in a horizontal row to see how the equipment was running up close. The next moment, with a rumbling sound, the thigh-thick wood was swallowed by the iron fangs, and the laborers, who were already trembling, suddenly knelt down in the terrifying live broadcast.

Comrade Yao Zhesheng, who had never treated himself as an outsider after crossing and devoted himself to his work with full enthusiasm for the first time, saw such an ignorant scene, and rushed into the crowd while scolding, kicking and pulling, but pulling up one and kneeling again...... Supreme Treasure was probably in this mood when he beat his subordinates in front of Chun Thirteen Niang - hating iron does not become steel.

I finally straightened all these goods, and then... No, let's observe the teaching, stand by the machine for a long time, overcome the fear, and then talk.

In fact, the core power system does not require many workers, from the crusher to the steam turbine, most of the operation is automatic, and the maximum physical labor of the workers is nothing more than moving branches, wood, sawdust shavings and other things to the conveyor belt. Boilers and steam turbines will always have industrialists on duty next to them, and it is still a mystery when natives who can understand these equipment will be trained.

The number of manual laborers, including brickyards and carpentry factories, will be reduced to a minimum due to the generation of electricity, and small forklifts, which are essential for warehouses, will soon be fully equipped.

......

The Dutch and Banda are still fighting up and down Newport Creek. With a little luck, the red-haired people are responsible for cleaning the river and shore vegetation in the lower reaches of Xingang Creek, and this task is getting easier and easier as it gets drier - the vegetation in the lower reaches is gradually thinning, and the salinity of the stream is gradually increasing, so the hardship of the work and the number of mosquitoes are decreasing every day.

As of today, there are less than 20 Dutchmen dead for various reasons, and it is expected that there will be zero casualties in the coming days: this is something that the Great Office has specially explained, and soon Mr. Nowiz will return from Japan, and it will be a little difficult to lose face when he finds his men dead.

The Banda people were not so lucky, and there is a reason why Taiwan is called "Formosa" by the Spaniards.

The kiln base is located in the middle reaches of Xingang Creek, which is relatively far east in the Tainan Plain, close to the shallow hilly area at the foot of Alishan Mountain, and the pioneer action of the Banda people to the upper reaches of Xingang Creek is gradually increasing with the gradual increase in altitude.

The dense vegetation of the hilly terrain makes it difficult for the Banda people to walk.

Alishan is below 800 meters above sea level, covered with camphor trees, banyan trees, acacia trees, wild longan, eggplant winter and other evergreen arbor forests, in addition to a large area of bamboo, green bamboo, cinnamon bamboo and other more than 10 kinds of bamboo forests, a variety of wild broad-leaved plants and shrubs, yellow vines occupy every inch of land under their feet, the original vegetation converges into a green ocean, like waves in the sea, without fear of outsiders' invasion.

As the Banda people advanced 2 kilometers upstream of the Xingang Creek, the mortality rate began to rise rapidly. Even if the traversal people have already issued them a full set of labor protection clothes, a full set of tools brought by the afterlife, and can be treated in time after being injured, they can't resist the crazy killing speed of malaria and work-related injuries.

There are now only 70 of the 100-odd Banda people left in the early days, with a mortality rate of more than 30%. Now every day before going to work, there will be an infrared thermometer supervisor to irradiate everyone's neck, once found that there is a body temperature rise, immediately take away - the sick are transferred by small boats to the bamboo shed on the north line tail island for observation, here, all the people who play the pendulum will be smashed to death with a hammer, and then buried at sea.

The few who stay the course and end up with a cold will get a few aspirins and no sulfonamides and antibiotics because the debate on the forums about drug resistance is not over.

After crossing the ideal "5 km" absolute mosquito defense circle, due to the large consumption of cannon fodder, it had to be temporarily stopped. With the kiln area as the center, only 2 kilometers of vegetation have been cleared in the direction of Alishan in the east, and the northern area on the other side of Xingang Creek has not been started at all, and only the southwest Chihkan direction is acceptable.

In short, the road is tortuous, the future is bright, and with the passage of time, the situation of strategic stalemate will be broken sooner or later, and it must be the environment that will eventually retreat, not a certain force that is trying to develop industrialization.

......

The waves are rolling, the sea and the sky are connected, the afternoon sun is warm and bright, the dog-eye fleet starting from Hangzhou has completed most of the distance of the Taiwan-Zhejiang route at this moment, and the fleet composed of three thousand sea ships is forming a line-shaped fleet on the middle line of the Taiwan Strait, cutting the waves and moving forward.

Distant glory is long gone, and 200 years later, Zheng He's descendants have fallen behind in navigation, reduced to the point where they can only observe landmarks along the way with the naked eye. At this time, the colonists, armed with the development of mathematics, astronomy, and navigation, were able to cross the vast Pacific Ocean to East Asia every year, and the shipowners of the Ming Dynasty were still carrying the ancient needle road and going north and south along the coastline.

They can sail as far as Pattani, Manila, Batavia, because these places have coastlines and various island chains along the way to shelter from the wind and give directions.

But they do not have the ability to sail along the median line of the Taiwan Strait at their doorstep: the strait, which is 300 kilometers wide, has no landmarks, only sea water, and all it takes is a dark night, or a storm, and the Ming ship will lose its way, not knowing whether it is in North Korea or Guangdong - they are not capable of pointing the way with the stars in the sky.

The fleets of the traversers are equipped with the technological equipment brought by later generations, so the vast deep sea has become a barrier during the voyage. As long as the sea conditions permit, the leading navigation ships are now more inclined to sail along the middle of the strait, avoiding possible troubles, and will not change course until the latitude is close to Tainan.

Yang Er carried the urine bucket and walked up from the bilge step by step...... This time it was finally his turn to let the wind go. He came up to the deck, poured all the contents of the urine bucket into the sea in front of the toilet pit at the stern, and then used the wooden barrel next to him to bring up the seawater, and after brushing the urine bucket, he could finally lean on the side of the boat and take a few breaths of fresh sea breeze!

Today's Yang Er, bald head, the purple-red birthmark on his face is still eye-catching, the upper body is the cheapest moon-white homespun cardigan gown, the lower body is the ankle-baring moon-white homespun cropped pants, staring at straw sandals under his feet, the image is not fashionable, if you wrap a moon-white cloth towel on your head, you can try to walk the northern Shaanxi wind.
