Li Junming's speech aroused everyone's interest again, and everyone began to talk about this topic.

"What Barrister Lee said is extremely true!"

"That's fine, it's more civilized......"

"Yes, yes, this is equivalent to naturalization, and then points settle down to obtain nationality!"

"I feel déjà vu and the swallow returns......"

"Who was dropping the bag just now?"

"You can't get rid of the bag, the question now is where to find these traffickers?"

"I remember what Brother Zhu told us, there are people in the market, as long as you have silver in your hand......"

So in the morning, everyone gathered in the conference room, admiring the gold piled up in the conference room, while chatting and drinking tea like this.

Obviously, the topic has been skewed to the country of Java, but a group of old guys from the General Affairs Coordination Committee did not mean to interfere, but still added fuel to the fire, the purpose of these people is very clear, that is, in this way, to let everyone relieve the pressure, relieve the fatigue after intense labor, to speak and complain, and let you say enough to complain......

So, except for the fact that Elder Sun left the venue to cook for everyone with a few helpers halfway through, and the children quietly wrote their homework in the computer library next door, today's plenary meeting had no theme at all, and all the traversers spontaneously gathered here to chat.

Actually, this is also a break, and today, no one goes out to play on a precious day off.

In the past, there was a sense of novelty about the new world, and some people used their days off to go to the beach, go shrimp fishing in the nearby river, or go for a walk on the beach at Red Wharf, but nowadays, people have largely lost interest in this area.

People who have been tired for a week can sit together and drink tea and chat, gag each other, or express their hearts in the sky, this is the real rest---- whether it is physical or mental.

The morning was passed away, and lunch began at twelve o'clock on time, and the dishes were very rich, mainly game.

In the past few months, everyone has been working in the wilderness, although it is tiring, but there are really a lot of game captured, from saltwater crocodiles to various unknown seabird eggs, among which snake meat is the most popular game.

Before the end of lunch, Mr. Sun informed everyone that from 3 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, a plenary meeting was needed to discuss the current work progress, so everyone agreed to disperse in a hurry and went back to the dormitory to take a nap.

The afternoon meeting was said to start at three o'clock, but after two o'clock, people who couldn't sleep came to the conference room one after another to gather and chat.

Of course, the content of the chat is Kan Dashan, who has no theme, and Captain Gu came relatively early, seeing Captain Gu coming, everyone's topic expanded to when they can go to sea to buy a daughter-in-law and labor.

Many people asked Captain Gu, when will we be able to sail on the Nicole?

Captain Gu responded to everyone that if the Nicole wants to set off, it still needs to meet some conditions, anyway, there is no way to go to sea at present, the reason is very simple: there is no fuel.

Yes, there were 500 tons of fuel coal on board, but it was only enough for one cruise of less than a month.

Nicole's power engine is the three-expansion steam engine, although Anna has been modified to improve the thermal efficiency, but it is still a coal eater, at least 600 to 800 kilograms of coal must be burned in an hour when it is started, which is not counting the coal needed for the ship's domestic electricity, so calculated, rounded, it is almost a ton an hour! In this way, 500 tons of coal can only be used for less than a month.

And there had to be room for Nicole to have no sails...... Well, even if there is a sail, it can't blow, let alone paddle it, and if there is really no fuel, it will be really blind.

In other words, counting the round-trip mileage, you will have to run back after going to sea for more than ten days, unless there is a place to add coal overseas.

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Captain Gu continued, specifically calculated, according to the average speed of the Nicole at ten knots, it should be able to run about 5,000 kilometers.

However, this is a voyage in normal sea conditions, and if you encounter strong winds and waves, such as ocean storms and hurricanes, the fuel consumption will be greater.

So, if we don't accumulate a certain amount of coal, the Nicole won't be able to leave the port at all!

What's more, there is another situation now, Mr. Zhao thinks that it is a pity that the coal on the Nicole is burned like this, because it is an excellent test raw material for the coal coke chemical industry, so he hopes to experiment and replace the coal on the Nicole with the coal produced on the island.

So what to do?

We still have a sailboat, right?

Someone spoke.

When Gu Jin heard this, he immediately responded that this sailboat does not consume much fuel, but the problem is that in addition to me and Li Sanduo, sailors are also needed, and the training of sailors is still far away......

So, folks, not only do we have to work now, but don't forget that we also need sailing training! Not to mention, even if it's Nicole, at least a dozen of you must be able to help me and Sanduo, right?

As for sailing, to tell you the truth, we wouldn't dare take you out to sea without one or two years of practical experience at sea. So, guys, we still have a long way to go......

When Captain Gu's words came to this, a group of high school students began to sigh again, saying that it seems that we have to work hard if we want to live an ordinary life with a wife and children, not to mention the peak of life when a drunken beauty wakes up on her knees and holds the power of the world, this has to be done until the Year of the Monkey!

Gu Jin heard that everyone was about to start complaining again, so he hurriedly said, in fact, the thing we need to pay attention to in front of us is not the problem of labor input at all, but the problem of how to make ourselves strong quickly, in the early stage of entrepreneurship, we must have to endure hardships, but our hardships will definitely not be in vain, right?

Therefore, nautical training should indeed be put on the agenda, although there are all kinds of work to be done now, and nautical training must be very hard, but if you don't endure hardships, what is a master? Don't think that success is an easy thing, even if we are time-travelers!

But it is precisely because we are traversers that we can learn all kinds of lessons and lessons from the continuous trial and error of our historical predecessors, there are all kinds of shortcuts, we have knowledge and scientific and technological advantages, and we also grasp the trend of historical development, so as long as we are willing to endure hardships, there is no reason not to succeed, right?

Now, what we need to do is to grit our teeth and persevere, first build the railroad leading to the industrial areas and mining areas, do a good job in infrastructure construction, quickly turn the industrial equipment in our hands into real productive forces, and then use the various resources at our disposal to produce the trade goods needed by the new world.

At the same time, we will carry out nautical training and strive to trade at sea as soon as possible.

Trade is the foundation of our foothold in this world! What is certain now is that in this day and age, we can make almost all the best-selling and in-demand items in the new world.

Therefore, don't complain, I plan to make a suggestion at the meeting, after the railway is completed in the rainy season, how about we start sailing training immediately? Anyway, everyone, let's grit our teeth and persevere......

The meeting was held on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, probably because Gu Jin's words played some role, maybe everyone has become more pragmatic now, and after venting in the sky, they will calmly face the reality, in short, at this meeting, everyone discussed the next work plan very carefully, and it was also very serious.
