The removal of the East Beach Pier began quickly.

The Pride was first dismantled and moved to the beach.

Because there is no lifting equipment on the dock, the whole moving process is very laborious, after all, these machines are heavy iron guys.

The handling began in the cabin, because the Pride pole could only lift a few hundred kilograms of small pieces, so the heavy parts still had to be carried on their shoulders---- and people struggled to lift the heavy iron guys from the cabin down the steps to the deck - some of the big ones could not be separated, but could only be moved in one piece, so the whole process was slow and tiring.

Once the iron guys were on deck, they had to carefully move them step by step to the side of the boat with crowbars, logs, and ropes, and then use tools such as rope crowbars to move the machines to the trestle little by little, and then a group of people carried them on their shoulders to the ground.

However, this is not the end of the story, the machine parts have to be hauled and hauled to a nearby stone dam, which is relatively high and does not get wet by the tide.

Fortunately, Lao Meng and other Zhuang leaders exerted their strong organizational skills, they shouted trumpets while commanding, leading dozens of the most muscular young men to take turns in battle, and finally moved these iron bumps to a high place.

But this was just the beginning, and it was necessary to transport the equipment to the sugar factory's site, so it took a whole day to move it all the way.

For this reason, Ren Ai and the two of them went to the communication room of the Pride and sent a telegram to the Red Mansion, and also sent a telegram to Macao, so that Brother Dai also sent a telegram to the family---- telling the family that the dock facilities on our side are too simple, especially the loading and unloading of goods rely on manpower, which is not only laborious but also very inefficient. None of those industrial devices are lightweight......

Of course, the arrival of the Pride also brought a lot of benefits to the residents of the big and small Wanshan Islands---- after the equipment of the sugar factory was moved, it was almost dinner time, when the head of the village, Lao Meng, told the group of porters to hurry up and move the dried meat on the iron ship, and said that these were all food that the Australians rewarded everyone with.

The Pride was carrying a lot of bacon and bacon jerky, which were old world supermarket supplies that had been stored for more than four years.

Now the living conditions at home are not what they used to be, and the people in the Red Mansion have long stopped eating these expired things, mainly because these dried salted meats are too old, and some of them have run out of oil, of course, on the whole, the taste of these meats is quite good, after all, the various spicy ingredients in the old world are very invincible, and the packaging is also complete, so although these foods have been in the cave for a long time, they have not been broken.

So in order not to waste these old world materials, and the taste is not bad, the Living Supplies Committee handed these things to the crew of the Pride and Nicole.

Witnessing the arduous transportation process, Li Sanduo learned from Ren Ai that although the residents of the island were not short of food (the grain was also mixed grains and mixed grains), there was a relative lack of meat, so he immediately discussed with Zhu Beiguo and the others, and decided to send the bacon and salted jerky and other materials that everyone was tired of eating to the residents of the island.

In the evening of the same day, a total of about a ton of various types of dry salted meat was distributed to 400 households on the large and small Wanshan Islands, and there were more than 1,500 men and women on the two islands, and each person received an average of more than one pound of dried salted meat......

In addition to the equipment of the sugar factory, there was also a set of power engines for the sugar factory, which was a generator system powered by a Stirling external combustion engine, which belonged to the standard old-world cave materials, as well as a set of round-headed lead bullet hot melt die-casting molds and supporting stoves provided by Boss Luo.

Ren Ai and the others were very happy to look at all these industrial equipment, it seems that the Red Mansion really attaches great importance to Wanshan Island, from weapons to industrial equipment, the support is obviously more than that of Xin'an City.

So in the face of more and more construction projects, the brothers on the island and Dai Xiaoshan discussed it together, and decided that the production and operation of this sugar factory would be handed over to Ren Ke, who was also a science and engineering man.

So far, this brother has a clear division of work.

First of all, Xiao Ai was in charge of military training and transportation and supplies.

In order to deal with the possible invasion of the Qing army, Xiao Ai has now devoted himself to military training, and now the garrison has recruited 410 new strong men, most of whom are from Da Yong Wan Water Village, a small half from the scattered immigrants sent to him by four Chinese merchants, and a small number of young and strong tenants on Xiaowanshan Island.

Soon after, Xiao Ai's "pro-soldier" team also expanded to 60 people, in addition to the original tenant children of Xiaowanshan Island, there were also 25 teenagers from Da Yuan Wan Water Village, and 15 orphans from the Macau Orphanage of Ingres, these orphans were originally to be sent to Zhuyuan Public School with Pride, but now they have also been urgently supplemented to Xiao Ai's garrison.

Therefore, the size of the garrison has been expanded to 530 guns, and with the sailors of the Assassin, there are a total of 550 guns.

Of course, this doesn't include the brother's AK47 and Colt python ****.

In order to train this team, Xiao Ai is busy every day, and now he takes the team to conduct military training almost every day, except for running transportation with the Assassin and giving classes to the children at school at night.

In addition, one of the three mortars brought by the Pride has been loaded onto the Assassin, and the ammunition factory has experimentally produced six three-kilogram kits, three six-kilogram kits mixed with metal fragments, which are currently being prepared for test firing.

But this thing is indeed a little dangerous, so Xiao Ai accepted Ren Ke's suggestion: first do a test launch on land, and then launch it on the ship, and in the near future he plans to do experiments in the uninhabited area at the eastern end of Dawanshan Island, and is currently actively preparing.

At the end of January, Huang Lei was officially appointed by the Supreme Executive Committee of the Red House as the supreme administrator here, and his full name is: "Governor of the Commonwealth of Australia in the Wanshan Islands".

Therefore, he is now very busy, not only is he responsible for the production of pharmaceutical factories and ammunition factories, but also has to take on the duties of a governor, and he has to take care of all the big and small things on the island, from the construction planning, food supply, school classes, to the settlement of disputes among the residents.

Fortunately, he will soon hand over the responsibility of managing the ammunition factory to Ren Ke, of course, on the condition that the production of the sugar factory must be on the right track as soon as possible.

However, it was not long before he discovered that the installation and commissioning of the sugar factory equipment was the real problem, because none of the brothers were real experts.

In the industrial equipment brought by the Pride this time, in addition to the simple structure of the lead bomb production equipment provided by Boss Luo, it can be understood at a glance, whether it is the equipment of the sugar factory or the Stirling engine power generation system, the installation and commissioning are quite laborious, and it requires a high degree of professionalism, especially the installation of the sugar factory equipment, just the drawings and installation instructions have a thick stack of paper.

So after Ren Ai and the others sent off the Pride the next day, they immediately returned to the stilt house and began to study paper by paper.

Later, even Huang Lei joined this difficult research and exploration process.
