Section 39 Coconut

"It's a problem. Wang Luobin touched his chin. Li Haiping's volunteering in Changhua and the news of the happy life of the left-behind personnel on the radio ignored him for a while.

Chen Haiyang also said. "This kind of fortress stationed abroad, if you want to let the ordinary people stay there for a long time, it is really difficult to say what they will become. Professional soldier Kao has to be faith - "He didn't say anything, professional soldiers are to protect their families and defend the country, what are these otaku for?"

For the sake of three wives and four concubines, guarding the thousands of miles of sea frontiers across the regime!

In order to raise Lori, fight on the industrial front!

We must liberate the Lori of Jeonshijie!

Hold high the banner of Lori's greatness!

This chaotic picture made Wang Luobin feel seriously uncomfortable, and he quickly shook his head. It seems that the general interests of the nation, democracy and freedom cannot be discarded. It is not a way to cross the group to advocate the supremacy of interests, and it lacks the name of righteousness at a critical time. It is still very important to make people bleed and sacrificed.

"It's really not easy to do." Wang Luobin sat down, places like Yulin Fort and Changhua Fort are different from Guangzhou Station, which is a big city, collecting intelligence and doing business every day, and living a very fulfilling life. Moreover, the intelligence station has a group of indigenous personnel with them as the core, which means that all the travelers are being masters, and although the life enjoyment is 17th century, it is much better than the days of the high public.

Let a few people be alone with a group of indigenous subordinates stationed on the barren coast for a long time, eating dry food from the grassland series, drinking water treated by water purification tablets, and pooping is also in the original ecological shijie of the sky - this set of enjoyment even the most powerful travelers can't last for a few days.

"How long do you think, in terms of your professional experience, people can last in such an environment? How often do you need to rotate people? ”

"How many modern amenities can be provided?"

"I should say that there is nothing but a radio station." Wang Luobin said. "If you are idle, you can light a light bulb with a hand-cranked generator and use an African poverty alleviation notebook, but of course, food, medicine, and books can still be fully guaranteed."

"About a month. If the local security is not good, and there are pirates at two ends in three days, and they often have to defend their homeland, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold out for even half a month. ”

Jiang Qiuyan said: "There is one more thing, I think you may not have thought about it. We have a few enemies now, too. The enemies are all powerful at sea without exception, and if they know that we have trade bases in these places, it will be easy to take down Yulin Fort or Changhua Fort with their ability, and whether they are killed or captured, it will be a great blow to the entire group. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Only stay here to stay native, and it's best not to have too much military color." Jiang Qiuyan said, "It's a Zhuangzi and a warehouse." ”

Chen Haiyang frowned: "Only send the navy to guard?" ”

Jiang Qiuyan smiled: "The navy soldiers don't need it." Seven or eight families came over. He pointed to the surroundings, "There are mountains and rivers here, although you can't grow rice, reclaim a few acres of sloping land to grow some vegetables and sweet potatoes, and basically self-sufficiency, right?" We will give them food on time. The procedures on the government's side, let Lin Quanan take care of it, and it may not be wrong to use money to open the way. Give the villagers a little more armament, organize a militia, and be able to deal with the scattered pirates and bandits. The task of the villagers is to collect the resources we have designated every day, and then our ships will come and deliver them regularly, and we will give you some rewards according to the amount paid-"

Chen Haiyang patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that you, a doctor, are also civil affairs talents!" ”

"However, such a settlement village lacks military protection, and if a large number of pirates come to attack them, they will definitely be doomed." Wang Tao expressed concern about this.

"So what, isn't it just seven or eight dead natives? Now that the Central Plains is full of displaced people, the number of people we want is not a question of how many people we are willing to accept. If one village is destroyed, another village will be moved, and it will be a big deal, and it will be seven or eight households. Now there are 20 immigrants. ”

"You're ruthless."

"Ruthless your sister, none of us should pretend to be gentlemen, we are so good to the natives, what kind of humanistic care are we doing, don't you want the natives to sell their lives?" He sighed, "For those ordinary people who are about to starve to death on the streets, it is worth it to be sent to this land of blue sea and silver sand, with a piece of tile on their heads and a place for their feet to hold, so that they can not freeze to death, and they can eat a few full meals in peace, even if they are really killed by pirates." ”

"But you have to know that once people's hearts fluctuate, immigrants will not be able to live." Wang Tao said, "It's rare for pirates to come and don't talk about him, what if pirates come often?" There are dead and wounded in the battle between the two ends of the three days, and the people who cross can't stand it, and the immigrants can't stand it, so if we move to other places, who do we go to? ”

"I don't think the people of this era are so vulnerable. As long as they believe that this is their homeland, they will shed their blood and die for it. ”

Wang Luobin said: "This thing sounds quite reasonable, but I am not very familiar with the civil affairs side. Let's go back and see what Wu De and Lao Wen have to say. Let's build this fortress for now. ”

The construction of Yulin Fort took a little effort, but Kao brought all the tools they brought, and it was completed quickly. During this period, all the members of the fleet, as long as they were not building houses, were all mobilized to pick coconuts. There are many wild coconut groves here, and there are coconuts to pick everywhere, and many ripe coconuts even fall under the trees and are not cared for.

"Treasure land, what a treasure land!" Bai Guoshi was very excited, and the coconuts, a large number of coconuts, were thrown on the ground without anyone care. And Lin Gaozhong meditated hard every day to get these useful fruits. Dried coconut merchants in Qiongshan County, you are really a group of jian businessmen who waste resources. He cursed in his heart.

Before he could finish venting his emotions, someone was already peeling coconuts with knives and drinking coconut water. Under the sea breeze of this southern country, there is a sandy beach on one side, and the blue, completely unpolluted water, coupled with this sweet coconut water, many people have been fluttering.

"Why doesn't this coconut have any water?" Wang Tao chopped a few in a row, but didn't drink any coconut water.

"Nonsense, everything that falls on the ground is ripe, and if you want to drink coconut water, you have to pick it and it is tender."

"There are a lot of coconuts, how do you pick them?" Wang Tao looked up at the tall coconut tree and was afraid, "Don't say you want me to climb up, I'm afraid of heights-"

"Why don't you take the rope off the boat and throw it up and climb again?"

"I think it's better to get a ladder—"

Or Bai Guoshi has a better way, take care of everyone to cut long bamboo poles, and then tie a hook knife to the top of the bamboo pole.

He demonstrated the jishu of harvesting coconuts with bamboo poles, and then solemnly stated, "Attention. Be sure to wear a hard hat or—"

Before the words fell, a muffled sound was heard, someone screamed, and everyone followed the reputation, and someone was already hit on the head by a coconut, and he was "heroic" on the spot.

Needless to say, everyone dispersed in a hurry, scrambling back to the boat to find their rattan hard hats. The "martyr" was carried back to the ship, diagnosed with a slight concussion, plus a large bag. Fortunately, the fruit was still small, and the man put on a straw hat to cushion it a little, so as not to smash his skull.

It was a little clumsy for everyone to use bamboo poles and hook knives, but fortunately, there were many people, and there was a steady stream of coconut water to drink-Wang Luobin found a sailor who could break coconuts, and he would break coconuts on the side, and serve cool drinks at any time. After a busy afternoon, no less than 3,000 coconuts were collected, all piled up next to the temporary trestle.

In the evening, everyone called it a day, and most of them camped on the shore, but only a few were left on the boat. Because of the tiring day, almost everyone except for the night duty sentry who was ordered to rest during the day sank into a sweet sleep. Under the brilliant starry sky. The sea is blue, and the fire of the guard post on the shore and the watch lights on the ship shine together, and it looks very quiet. Some people couldn't bear the loneliness, and pulled up the broken gong and sang the night of the military port.

"The night of the military port, quietly-"

"Shut up, you hillbilly!" With the angry rebuke of the awakened man, the voice of the twenty-first-century singer fell silent, leaving only the snoring of one after another accompanied by the waves.

A dark figure crept up from the stern of the Hangzhou, and he quietly glanced at the sentry on the deck - there should be another one on top of the mast, but he couldn't see it, and he waited quietly for a while. Silently, he climbed from the bow of the ship and descended into the sea along the anchor rope, moving swiftly, barely stirring up a splash and making a little noise.

After a few moments, a black shadow emerged from the waves at the stern of the Zhenhai and quietly approached the stern, he looked at the shore and the perspective of the sentry on the ship, determined that he was in the dead end, untied something from his body, and threw it up.

There was a slight muffled thud on the hull. The black shadow quickly shrank himself into the shadow of the boat, waited quietly for a moment, and made sure that no one noticed the sound, and then he resurfaced, climbed something, jumped lightly, and quickly climbed up.

It took him a lot of time for the shadow to climb on the wall of the ship, as if to play with something, but finally he succeeded, and a gap appeared in the wall of the ship, and the shadow quickly slipped into it.

It was pitch black inside the hull. The cold moonlight shining in from the porthole illuminated the inside. Dressed in a fish-skinned water kao, this wet black shadow was very close-fitting, and from the bulging chest and obvious waist-to-hip ratio, it was clear that this sneaky black shadow was a woman - the only woman in the fleet. Li Chun, who pretended to be Li Huamei.

She relented and quickly closed the porthole. The Aussies were so observant of detail that they might have noticed that the porthole was open—she knew that according to their elaborate rules and regulations, it had to be closed except when the strange big windmill blades were lowered.

Li Huamei had been observing the whole voyage for a long time, and she had figured out one thing: the reason why the ship could move on its own without sails or oars was that the short hair would sink a pair of iron windmill leaves into the sea when needed, and then the ship would vibrate regularly, and the ship would be able to go on its own. What exactly this windmill leaf was, and what strange mechanism it was connected to, was what Li Huamei was eager to know—and she would want to get the secret if possible. As a captain, she knows exactly how profitable it is to be able to sail without relying on the wind.

The Australians' cannons, navigation instruments, and windmill leaves, with these three things, aren't they and Miss the overlords of the world? Don't say it. If you have windmill leaves, you can choose to enter the angle of shelling at will. Who else is their opponent in this vast sea! This group of strange people, with such haode things, are willing to nest in such a remote small place as Lingao to build houses and build roads! Li Huamei felt incredible again.

Although they had exchanged a lot of things with each other during the voyage, she had never been allowed to enter this secret cabin just below the stern deck. At all times, the door to the cabin was locked, and there was even a guardhouse at the door. Shorthair is very strict about this institution. Even at night there is a 24-hour guard. She didn't even dare to make one more attempt to get close.

Tonight was a good opportunity, most of them had landed, and very few people were left on each boat. Li Huamei used the excuse of going back to her own ship to have a look, and stayed on the Hangzhou at night to further reduce the vigilance of the shorthairs, so she sneaked in in the middle of the night.

She settled down, took out a bamboo tube from the waterproof leather bag around her waist, pulled it out, the dark cabin suddenly brightened, a fire fold was ignited, she quickly took out a small sharp-mouthed oil lamp from the leather bag and lit it, although the whole cabin was full of shadows, but the things inside could be seen in general.

I saw that there were two black-pressed steel objects in the cabin across the entire deck, each the size of a small box, boxy, but the corners were a little uneven, and when I looked closer, there were various small iron parts of different shapes, and there was also an iron wheel with a belt wound around it. It has a strong odor. Li Huamei touched it lightly with her fingers, and her fingers were black and greasy. Quickly wiped it on the bulkhead. The two black iron bumps were firmly fastened to the base, and a lot of black oil dripped from them, and they were all over the cabin deck, and they looked very dirty.

These two iron guys are supposed to be the mechanism that makes the ship move on its own. But she was slightly disappointed, for she could not see how the iron mechanism was moving the ship forward. When I looked closer, I found that the two iron joints were not black, but red in the lid-like places on them, but blackened by oil smoke. If you look closely, there are still two words "Chang Chai".

Chang Chai? She said the meaning of these two words for a long time, often using firewood, using firewood? But I didn't see the shorthairs piling firewood on the boat.

There is also a round lid on the red top cover, Li Huamei tried to pull it, stood still, and twisted it again, but let go of it, unscrewed it, and when she opened it, it seemed to be filled with water. But the smell is smoky. She took out a paper medium, dipped some into it, and took it out, and it felt like an oil.

Note: This paragraph is in addition to the 4000-word bill, not a fee

The ignition device used by Li Huamei is the ancient ignition device, commonly known as the "fire fold". In fact, it is a type of fire rope that is slow-burning in a tubular container.
