"yes, but the Mederor haven't come yet. The people at the contact point said they would call our radio when they arrived. Before Liu Yeqiang's voice fell, a call came from the radio.

"Liu Gong! Liu Gong! This is the liaison station, the Maidno people have come, you should come back quickly, we dare not move the materials and equipment of the dock if you don't come. ”

Liu Yeqiang replied to the radio call and hurried to the dock, Du Yande and Sun Wenqing were fine anyway, and followed to see the excitement together.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, Du Yande was really taken aback. Although I have never seen an ancient ship in history, I have heard of it. Before the British fought for supremacy at sea, the largest trading ship seemed to be the galleon. When Spain established a colony in the Americas, it was necessary to carry large quantities of cargo and soldiers across the Atlantic, and the main seagoing ships of the time, the Naya and Caravel, were no longer up to the task, and the Spanish "galleons" combined the advantages of these two types of ships and became famous. It generally has 4 masts, with two front masts hanging railing sails and two rear masts hanging spinnakers. The standard length is 46 meters to 55 meters, the displacement is 300-1000 tons, there are several long decks, and the aft building is very high. With 7 decks, a displacement of 2,000 tons and a draft of 8 meters, the large Galen aft deck had a good endurance and was the largest seagoing ship in the world for a long time.

But the ship in front of it had five masts, the first two masts were hung with sails, the middle mast hung a huge sail with a large coat of arms painted on it, presumably the family coat of arms, and two masts side by side at the back, with spinnakers hanging on the sides on the top.

How much can this layout achieve? Du Yande couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he was not a lover of ancient ships, so he was not as good as a few ancient ship experts in the crossing group, who were familiar with the layout of the sail cables of the ancient ships, and hurriedly picked up the camera and clicked around the ancient ship and took dozens of photos in a row.

There were not many parts of the desalination system on the dock, and Liu Yeqiang soon commanded people to load all the parts onto the ship. Sun Wenqing and Du Yande also took advantage of the chaos to follow on the boat.

The deck looked tidyed up, but it still looked disorganized, the cables were hung haphazardly around the mast, and even knotted in a few places, and I wonder if the sailors would gather here to untie the ropes when they needed to untie it in a hurry. Buckets were thrown everywhere, several mops piled up under the tail tower, and a bean sprout had grown on one of them. The planks of the deck were black and unpolished, and in some places they were cracked, like a trap, and I don't know when someone would step on it and fall down. Liu Yeqiang followed down the deck and entered the cabin, there was a smell of mold in the cabin, the corridor was black and hollow, there was not much light, and the sailors' bunks were laid out in the first cabin, I really don't know how they adapted to such a life.

Going down is the cargo hold, which is not loaded due to the need for renovation, and in the empty cabin, you can see a few rats chirping in the distance, and see the crowd walking in and scattering.

The seawater tank is designed to be installed in the corner of the aft building, and the tank can carry two tons of seawater, which is then piped to the RO desalination system on the second deck, where it is treated, and the wastewater is discharged directly into the sea through the drain pipe, and the desalinated water is transported directly to the large iron tank in the fresh water tank. In addition, there are manpower pumping machines that can send fresh water through PVC pipes to the captain's room and the special water storage tank in the officer's cabin under the aft building, and everyone only needs to turn on the tap to drink fresh water.

The installation took only three days, and the main time was spent drilling holes and laying PVC pipes in the cabin, where the electric melter could not be used, and only a Medeno technician carried the furnace on the side to heat the melter directly for pipe welding. A group of Medno technicians were amazed by the light and easy laying of this kind of water pipe, and even more surprised by the faucets and ball valves, and asked Liu Yeqiang how this kind of pipe was manufactured. Liu Yeqiang didn't know how to explain to them that these were extracted from black oil...... In the end, I can only explain to them that this is an American product, the technology is in the hands of the manufacturer, and ordinary installation engineers do not know how to make it.

The next test session began on the fourth day. In order to prevent mistakes, the trading ship "Velopolis" sailed the ship to the open ocean, and after testing the surrounding water, it was confirmed that it was seawater, and the captain and the trade representative of Medeno nodded to Liu Yeqiang that the test could begin.

Soon a group of Medeno sailors began to push the manual pumps underneath, and the sea water flowed down the PVC pipes into the open lid of the tank. It didn't take long for the jug to be filled, and then Liu Yeqiang turned on the water inlet switch of the RO system. Twenty seconds later, the amount of water from the wastewater outlet became much smaller, and then the fresh water outlet began to flow out of the tank.

A Medeno sailor hurriedly picked up a small jar and scooped a jar of water on the jar, sniffed it, showed a surprised look in his eyes, and hurriedly brought it to his mouth and took a sip, and couldn't help but exclaim. "It's really freshwater!"

The crowd of Medeno people who were watching were crazy, and they all found their water cups, swarmed onto the fresh water tank, scooped a glass in the water, and drank it. Even Liu Yeqiang, who knew that the result would be like this, couldn't help but get excited, and the feeling of excitement was really contagious.

The captain of the Villobolis was called Myropolis, the grandson of the ship's first captain, Villomeles, who had been in charge of the large trading ship from his grandfather for fifteen years since he was an adult at the age of nineteen, and he remembered a story in the captain's journal that more than twenty years ago, there was a rebellion among the crew at the hands of his father, which was caused by a rebellion by the lower crew due to a lack of fresh water and an uneven distribution of drinking water, and his father was also killed in the rebellion. If there was such a dilution system at that time, how could there be its own tragedy, and how could it have allowed his grandfather to retire and have to take over the command of the ship again?

The excited Mirobolis invited Liu Yeqiang to visit the entire trading ship and personally explained every aspect of the ship to Liu Yeqiang. Liu Yeqiang immediately asked a group of ancient ship experts questions: "Why are there two tail masts and two spinnakers in parallel?" ”

Without hesitation, Miro replied: "This is to distinguish ourselves from other ships of the sea, and our Medeno men have two masts in parallel, and the two spinnakers are designed to be able to borrow enough power by converting the sail cables regardless of the wind." ”

Liu Yeqiang has been on the voice recorder, these questions and answers will be sent to the research group of the crossing group to study, since knowing that the world of the crossing is extremely close to the Ming Dynasty, the crossing group set up a historical research group, composed of people who are familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, because they not only collect the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, but also store the vast majority of the people from all over the collection of various cultural and historical materials production technology, and the research team has also obtained a new nickname - the big library.

When they walked to the chart room together, Miro visibly hesitated, this chart room had always been a forbidden place, and even the second mate could not enter the house except for the captain and the chartman.

"It is the most important nautical chart of my Maidno clan, please forgive me for the inconvenience of taking you to see it."

Liu Yeqiang smiled and expressed his understanding, holding a single-lens reflex camera in his hand and pressing it a few times. In front of him, Miro knew that there must be something wrong with this, but he didn't know how to speak, the American did not enter the house, and obediently followed him to the other cabins to visit.

Sitting on the bench in the captain's room, Liu Yeqiang looked around.

The captain's cabin was the largest and most luxuriously decorated of all the cabins he had visited today, about sixty square meters in size, with a double bed and a velvet blanket on top. There are various oil paintings hanging on the walls, as well as the portraits of the first two captains. Two large wooden boxes that had been used as cabinets contained porcelain vases, and a small box on a table in the corner of the room. Miro smiled and took the box, opened it and showed it to Liu Yeqiang. Liu Yeqiang was almost blinded by a burst of golden light.

Inside, there were a lot of gold coins, and there were a lot of rubies and emeralds on them. "This is my personal belongings that I have collected over the decades. The ruby was obtained from India, the emerald came from Champa, and the gold coins were obtained from the Mediterranean coast. Liu Yeqiang laughed, "It turns out that His Excellency Miro is a coin collector!" ”

Miro paused for a moment, but immediately understood. He was indeed a numismatic enthusiast, and he could have collected more gold coins if he had only amassed his wealth, but his love for the coins of various countries at the trading ports led him to even make the surprising choice of exchanging a gold coin for a silver coin, which has led to his collection of personal possessions until now being such a small box.

Suddenly, a little silver flashed in the large number of gold coins, and Liu Yeqiang couldn't help but wonder, how could silver coins appear in this large amount of gold coins? He reached over and pulled out the silver coin, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a silver coin stamped by the traverser himself, with a Mickey Mouse whistling and turning the steering wheel, and a row of small Chinese characters stamped out next to it, "People's Bank of China". On the north side is a temporary coat of arms decided upon after discussion, and the coat of arms depicts a large ship approaching at sunrise. Below is stamped "一元" in Chinese, and below is the smaller character "一二".

"Hehe, this gentleman, this coin was found by accident in Mingzhou City, the mouse on it has a strange style, and the ship on the back is lifelike, so I can't help but be happy, and I can't help but spend two taels of silver to change it."

Liu Yeqiang smiled and took out a few coins in his pocket, took out five coins from it, looked at it, and there were one and two in it, and handed it to Miro.

When Miro saw that it was a coin, he couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly took it with both hands to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned. This one-dollar coin is obviously the same size as the one in my collection, and on it is a duck that is completely different from the mouse that turns the steering wheel, and the duck is holding a strange-looking firecracker in his hand, not only is there no fire rope on it, but there is something more coming out of the muzzle, although I don't know what it is, but it still feels very interesting. On the top of the denomination is a duck and a mouse hugging and waving, and the back is the same pattern as the dollar.

"What is this?" Miro looked at Liu Yeqiang suspiciously with the coin.

"For you, I like to collect coins too." Liu Yeqiang said with a smile.

Miro was overjoyed, the blonde hair on his head almost stood on end, and his eyes shone brightly. But if you look closely, the fineness of the silver coin is quite new. "Was this just minted? Why doesn't it feel like minting coins? ”

Ancient coins were basically minted in different shapes, and many people had the ability to mint coins privately, so even gold and silver coins had different shapes on the outer edges. But these American silver coins, beautifully workmanlike, the two silver coins were exactly the same, and that was the only thing he felt after looking through almost all the coins in the world.

Liu Yeqiang, who returned to the base, handed over the camera to the large library of the Executive Committee. The technical team arrived at the scene to process the photos taken, and the results were very exciting, most of the pictures were very clear, and even the rats in the corner were clearly photographed in the chart room, but the problem was that the charts were not spread out on the table, and the results were quite disappointing. However, a piece of gold coin he brought back made the people in the Great Library almost blind. This is a gold coin with the head of Alexander, which Liu Yeqiang exchanged with Captain Miro with three one-dollar and one two-dollar Mickey Mouse Donald Duck coin.

Alexander was the king of the Macedonian Kingdom of ancient Greece, about a hundred years earlier than Qin Shi Huang, after he unified Greece, he invaded Persia in 334 BC, and four years later occupied Egypt, marched eastward into the two river valleys, pursued and killed the Persian king all the way, annexed the Persian Empire, which was more than ten times larger than Greece, and finally died of illness during the eastward expedition to India. He unified all the coins in his territory, and although Macedonian mints were scattered throughout the Greek territory, the ensuing wars caused them to be either recovered and reminted, or lost, and very few survived, and in the modern numismatic market, a single coin can sell for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

"If I go, there are all the gold coins of Macedonia, so isn't there basically no deviation in European history?"

"No way, if European history had not deviated, the Portuguese would have occupied Macau by now, and we would have met the Portuguese or the Dutch in the city of Canton."

"Just kidding, how can there be no deviation? If the Medeno became the sea coachmen of this world, then there would be nothing to do with the Dutch. The Dutch could only grow tulips on the sea. ”

============================= divider =============================

Zeng Zhigang woke up from a hangover during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't remember what happened last night, he only knew that he was chatting with a few old classmates before drinking and drinking. This kind of thing is very annoying to him, and you must know that most people who can drink wine to a broken piece are not happy because they are happy.

There are always guys who mix really well, especially when they're your classmates, who are so mouthful of people who can't wait to bring in the waiter outside and listen to him brag about how he became a successful person. And those classmates who didn't mix well simply didn't say anything, just echoed them twice. It's just that he can't get up and down, but he just makes people feel very annoyed, and he looks down on him well, and squeezes him at every turn, saying that he eats in the government and has no ambition; Those who don't mix well think that he only takes the people's hard-earned money and doesn't work.

He is a civil servant working in a powerful department, usually responsible for maintaining stability, usually conscientious, conscientious and responsible, but he did put out several ** in the bud, but because he sometimes figured out the meaning of the leadership is not profound, he has been in this position for five or six years, looking at the current posture, it is estimated that he will have to stay for several more years.

He rubbed the back of his head, he couldn't remember what kind of wine he had last night, it seemed that it might be fake, and it was very powerful. Zeng Zhigang flipped through the several documents on the table, which were nothing more than some official documents submitted a few days ago under the instructions of the leader.

At this moment, a secretary suddenly came over and tapped lightly on his desk, "The leader asked you to come over." ”

Zeng Zhigang immediately got up and shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the feeling on his head.

An inexplicable expression appeared on his face as he walked out of the leader's office. It turned out that the leader gave him a very strange task, which was in a county-level city in this province. He couldn't help but recall with his still a little painful brain that he didn't seem to have been there yet.

The situation was reported by the city's authorities, saying that a group of strange people had been accommodated at an abandoned militia training base owned by a local developer. This group of people is engaged in military training in the camp every day, either practicing queues or running, and there are also some relatively in-depth military training. Seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he had been a soldier, and he had been sitting in this position for five or six years, so he naturally knew that it was worth wondering, generally speaking, training as a team or something was often a continuous training queue, and then engaging in some interactive games was over, but this report obviously said that it was combat training and the like.

He went on to read further and the report added that they often met late and often shouted slogans. Nearby farmers thought it was a pyramid scheme, so they reported it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The Industrial and Commercial Law Enforcement Brigade went to investigate, but there was no sign of pyramid schemes, so it was transferred to the local police station, and the police station also visited, and found no signs of illegality.

"That's kind of interesting." Zeng Zhigang smiled and said that he saw the report written by the police station, and the person in charge explained that the company was conducting employee development training.

Now that this case has been transferred to my own hands, I might as well take a look, anyway, I have a lot of things, and I don't bite if there are many lice.

First of all, he checked the records of the industrial and commercial department, and there was indeed such a company, and the legal name of the company was Zhang Yuan. He had to press his head more, but whether his head hurt or not, he couldn't remember the name at all, and it seemed that this person's name was not in his memory. So he checked this Zhang Yuan's record, and soon found Zhang Yuan's life trajectory through the Internet in the computer, graduated from a university with a mechanical major many years ago, and seemed to have lingered in the talent market for a long time before finding a job, because he could still see the cover letter he submitted in his early years on the website of the headhunting market. Later, he worked in a hardware factory in a certain city, and after just a few years, he actually became the owner of this factory.

Zeng Zhigang smiled, this kind of private enterprise can go from a wage earner to a boss, and he really has some ability. He then rummaged down, this hardware factory was completely shut down half a year ago, all machinery and equipment were removed, the factory building has been leased, and now it is rented by factories in other industries. He couldn't help but sigh for Zhang Yuan, the economy is in a recession at this stage, and many private companies have closed down during this time, and it seems that this Zhang Yuan has not been able to escape.

Next, Zhang Yuan registered this crossing trade not long ago, and when he saw this, Zeng Zhigang smiled again, "Crossing trade...... Can he still sell things to another time and space? ”

He retrieved the files of the industry and commerce, this company is decent, with a registered capital of one million, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the hardware factory that was shut down was not disposed of, where did this million come from? So Zeng Zhigang retrieved Zhang Yuan's tax payment records, and what made him feel strange was that it seemed that Zhang Yuan's income began to receive a large amount of funds a few months before the hardware factory was closed, and after the company was registered, Zhang Yuan's personal account was empty.

"Trading company?" He couldn't help but say to himself again, "It's not money laundering, is it?" ”

Zeng Zhigang continued to check the account records and tax payment status of the cross-trade, and it seemed that he could not find any loopholes, as if the taxes that should have been paid were paid in a lot of money, and there was nothing to be seen in the company's current accounts, so he also specially found a colleague who was familiar with this aspect. Buying and selling are very normal business transactions.

Seeing this, he felt a little strange, this looks normal, thinking of this, he checked Zhang Yuan's actions on the Internet again, he looked like he was in his twenties, and he couldn't even find a traffic violation with the driver's license he got a few years ago, but Zeng Zhigang was also relieved to see that he didn't have a car under his name. There is no evidence to prove that Zhang Yuan is dissatisfied with society, but in recent months, he has often posted on a military forum to consult some strange things, such as what bullets are cost-effective, what cars can really be all-terrain driving, or how to camp in large-scale wilderness camping, but look closely, he does not hold or intend to hold weapons at all, not even a dog, this guy's background is as innocent as a blank paper, there is no bad record at all, and he can't even find out if he is drunk. Zeng Zhigang couldn't help but feel a little funny, he had been in this post for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such a clean record, and then he sighed and rubbed his temples, and he would have to drink less in the future.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel a kind of curiosity, generally speaking, the information that can be seen here often has potential problems, this Zhang Yuan's crossing trade is inevitably too clean, and the abnormality is a demon. Although the current situation seems to have nothing to do with the potential **, since the leader has put this task in front of him, it is better to go and see, and it is considered to be a trip.
