The next day, Bai Guoshi slept late and got up, and heard from the brother on duty at the gate of the group that a girl had come to look for him, because he had not gotten up and had given her back. Bai Guoshi thought that this was mostly Zhao Xue - he came to him early in the morning, needless to say, he wanted to go to the cafeteria for breakfast together, this was a great opportunity to increase emotional exchanges, and he actually missed it. He knocked his head in annoyance.

Another depressing thing is that after I came out of the committee yesterday, my brain was dizzy due to a long argument, and as a result, Wei Aiwen asked him for cigarettes, and he gave him a box that he only smoked yesterday. Luckily, I brought a whole one.

"That's bad luck." Bai Guoshi was depressed while thinking about it, and he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and took out a piece of unpalatable grass No. 5 rice crackers from his pocket, which was the standard ration during field operations, but everyone didn't like to eat it very much, and a lot of it was kept.

Chewing on the rice crackers that seemed to never be swallowed, Bai Guoshi came to the office of the exploration team, and just sat down and poured a glass of water to swallow the rice crackers, Liu Zheng came in and laughed a few times when he saw him. Let Bai Guoshi be puzzled.

"Xiaobai, Zhao Xue MM will be officially transferred to our department from today."

"Really?!" Bai Guoshi stood up directly when he was excited, and almost choked on the rice crackers.

"Don't get excited, of course you do." LIU Zhenghan. smiled and comforted him, "Men and women match, don't be tired of working." White, you have to seize the opportunity-"

Bai Guoshi just wanted to say something, but saw Zhao Xue bumping. came in and said, "I heard that you left me at the base and didn't let me go out on a mission!" ”

"This, hehe, yes," Ryu Zheng nodded, "you. The legs are not good, and they are not well adapted to such long-range field activities. After the scale of our exploration team increases, we need to be manned, so we can't sing empty city plans. This also combines your IT expertise with the analysis of intelligence. Your job is very important, firstly, to provide them with a mission briefing before each remote team departs, so that they can get a preliminary overview of the target to be reconnoitred; Second, after they returned, they compiled the information they had gathered and wrote a report to report to the Intelligence Committee. There are still a bunch of administrative matters to deal with, and the burden is very heavy, but don't worry, my comrades and I will try to help you as much as possible. Zhao Xue said thoughtfully: "It's so important......"

Liu Zheng saw that she was fooled, and hurriedly said I still have to leave beforehand, you are busy. Create opportunities for Bai Guoshi.

Bai Guoshi suddenly felt that he was super lucky, could it be because. The merit of giving away a pack of cigarettes for nothing? Wei Aiwen is not an old woman crossing the street.

Just thinking about how to speak, Zhao Xue had already spoken: "I went to look for you in the morning, why are you still sleeping?" ”

"Tired yesterday, you. I don't know how late the executive committee meeting was, "Bai Guoshi couldn't help but boast to himself, talking about how extraordinary he was in his report at the meeting, and also added problems such as his solemn point that the executive committee did not pay enough attention to the cause of remote exploration, and the executive committee humbly accepted this, and even exclaimed that there were capable people in the exploration team, and even Zuihou even made a large-scale exploration adventure his proposal.

While talking about Bai Guoshi, he was weak-hearted, but when he saw MM smiling like a flower, and his eyes showed admiration, he couldn't help but continue to brag.

After saying that, Bai Guoshi asked, "What are you looking for me in the morning?" ”

"I received the appointment this morning, I still have a lot of things in the IT department, and I want you to help me move them."

"Okay, I'll go." Bai Guoshi was busy and took the initiative to ask.

The next day, all the personnel, including the new arrivals, were reassigned to the group, trying to balance the two groups liliang. Adopt the old and new mode of training. Since the most recent mission was to follow the team on an expedition around the island, the direct quality of the team members was not so great, and the exploration team gained valuable respite for training. The contents formulated by Liu Zheng mainly include:

1. Wilderness survival training, basic wilderness survival training, combined with the lessons learned from actual combat tasks.

2. Basic individual tactics, including grappling techniques, are mainly taught by members of the Special Investigation Brigade.

3. Basic group coordination tactics, including cross-cover, etc., with special emphasis on the coordination of guns and crossbows.

4. Flora and fauna, minerals and meteorological expertise.

5. Nautical adaptation training. Each group has to go to Bopu for rowing and swimming training.

After a few days of training, everyone's level has been greatly improved - thanks to the long-term labor after D-Day, the otaku who wasted wood now has a good physical strength, and with physical strength, all that is taught is nothing more than skill and coordination.

Liu Zheng led the team to Gaoshan Ridge, Lingaojiao and other places to conduct a series of field combat survival training in the mountains and at sea, and also engaged in the confrontation between the two groups of AB. In addition to honing the level of newcomers, it also has the effect of enhancing feelings and improving morale.

He went to the shipyard every day these days to supervise the construction of their first brig. The blueprint for the ship was built according to the line diagram of the famous "Americas" in history: a displacement of 170 tons, a total length of 30 meters, a width of 7 meters, a draft of 3 meters, a double masted and a seuger sail. Even the captain only needs 9 people to operate.

Since the ship was the first large vessel built by the Crossing Group itself, it was called "Ship Zero" before it was officially launched and named, as a sign of its status from scratch.

The shipwrights of Baitulai are the main force of shipbuilding, and the construction of Western ships is a new challenge for the shipwrights, and it is also a test for the overall industrial level and cooperation ability of the traversers.

Because no one had any experience in launching a 170-ton ship, the shipbuilders of the new time and space adopted a more appropriate and safe dry dock shipbuilding, although the project was huge, but it was of great significance to the shipbuilding industry after completion.

The dock was dug by hand and mechanically, and it was not a pit that came out entirely on the shore, but was strictly a semi-open structure, half of which was excavated on the beach, and the other part was enclosed in the middle of the sea with wooden piles and masonry. The wall and bottom of the dock are reinforced with bamboo bars and gravel concrete,

The pumping machine used in the dockyard is relatively easy to solve: not only does the crossing group have its own pumping machines, pumps and other equipment, but almost all modern ships such as the Fengcheng ship are equipped with several of these things, and there is no problem with pumping water after the successful trial production of the steam engine.

The locks were made of iron-framed wooden planks, and a large amount of high-quality wood was consumed to build this gate, and the gate was also made of shipbuilding twist joints to increase the density of water between the walls. The gates were opened and closed by a rope drawn by a winch, and in order to drive the winches and pumps, the mechanical department built boilers and supporting steam engines specifically for the docks: a fifty-horsepower horizontal steam engine, which, in addition to opening and closing the gates, could also drive sawmills to see wood during the day and pump water from the dockyard at night - the locks of the dockyard were not very airtight.

In order to build the zero ship, the crossing group has begun a large-scale resource gathering since the beginning of the year, and the Ministry of Machinery Industry has set up an ironworking workshop in the shipyard to manufacture various iron and copper parts for ships. Some large metal parts are manufactured by metallurgical plants.

The Wenlan River is responsible for transporting a large amount of material: bulky, heavy materials are transported downstream on floating rafts, and lighter ones are transported to shipyards by two-wheeled vehicles, manpower or horses.

Timber for shipbuilding was seized from the village of Baitu and was thoroughly dried for several years. Most of the timber comes from Fujian, which is not available locally. Because the Zero ship is a prototype product, a large number of low-cost cedar wood is used, except for the mast and rudder and other key parts. In addition to timber, Baitu Village also provided tung oil, hemp silk, oyster shell ash, hemp rope, and a large number of iron parts, including four-claw anchors. Ready-made accessories greatly reduced the time required for shipbuilding, otherwise the traverser would have been busy for months just collecting and making these things, and Wen Deji often secretly rejoiced that he had occupied Baitu at that time.

The shipyard has a lot of labor, and the main force is the villagers who have forcibly migrated from Baitu Village, and they have more or less participated in shipbuilding, and with a little guidance, they can directly engage in shipbuilding engineering. Wen Desi focused on cultivating craftsmen with foreign surnames led by shipwright Zhang Jiji, and took him to work in the shipyard every day. Zhang Ji is now the chief shipmaster of the shipyard, because he has learned a lot of Western shipbuilding techniques and skills from Wen Desi, and everyone is very energetic.

In contrast, the children of the Lin and Lu families were a little panicked and obviously absent-minded. These two families, especially the Lin family, because they are big clans and strong families, have long controlled the village politics of Baitu, and they have a strong reputation among the immigrants from Baitu Village. The Executive Committee is very jealous of the clan shili, and will never allow this phenomenon to occur within their direct jurisdiction. So as soon as the housing in Xinbaitu Village was completed, Wu De immediately began to dismember the two families.

Lin Gonglao stood at the door of the quarantine camp office. The young face distorted, looking resentful. The more than a dozen children of the same clan around them also looked gloomy one by one - they had just learned the results of the assessment and the whereabouts of the assignment.

In the past few days, all immigrants in Baitu Village, all males over the age of 16 have undergone a skills assessment. Because the Lin family is a shipwright, the content of the assessment is various skills related to shipbuilding: including woodwork, double-line work, iron work, pendulum tin work, rotary work, oyster shell work, decoration work, carving work, bow work, Peng work, rope work, cable work, paint work, five ink work, etc., basically covering all the content of ancient ship skills. The assessment content and specific scoring are made by Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji is not faceless, so as not to hinder the situation. Wen Desi knew from his ordinary contact that Zhang Ji was quite suspicious of the Lin family's past control of the village government and embezzled most of the shipbuilding revenues, and as long as he had no scruples, he would not show mercy to the Lin family's subordinates
