Hong Tao did not enter the stone harbor at all, but only stayed on the dock for a while, and then continued to go up the river with the twenty army soldiers found by Joseph on the industrial ship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info Canal has indeed been dug almost completely, with an average width of about ten meters, and the berms on both sides are made of rocks and cement, and it looks sturdy, at least much stronger than I expected. However, Hong Tao was a little annoyed, he only needed a small river ditch that could barely allow the Virginia class to pass, who would have thought that Luo Youde actually built a real canal for himself, or Nima with a stone embankment!

Of course, this anger can only be sprinkled on himself, who let him not make it clear to Luo Youde at the beginning. According to the habitual thinking of people in this era, the canal should have an embankment, and it must be able to be used for a hundred years. Like the carpenters in the shipyard, what they make must conform to their rules.

In fact, this is a good thing, craftsmen are not acting, nor singing, you can find a stand-in when you are tired of acting, and you can use lip-syncing when you are tired of singing. They make products, and if you don't have this obsession and belief, why are your things better than others? However, this concept is no longer instinctive in Hong Tao's mind, but a conclusion that requires rational thinking. Because in the environment of the Hereafter, people are not encouraged to do this, and those who do it are doomed to be unlucky.

Why do many ancient buildings stand still after a hundred years, and why do many modern buildings crumble after just a few years of use? It's not that the ancients had the best technology that was passed down to the outside world, nor that the ancient building materials were stronger than the modern ones, it was just two words, serious! Not to mention ancient times, even Soviet-style buildings built in the fifties and sixties are still in normal use, not only are they not dilapidated but also very sturdy.

It can't be said that in that era of scarce resources, no one thought of cutting corners to reduce construction costs, and those who could build three buildings were built into four. This is a matter of concept, and now this is called being flexible in thinking, making money, and getting money is the purpose, and everything can be ignored. At that time, such behavior was called moral turpitude and crime, and it was an act that was not tolerated by society. I don't know if this is social progress or regression.

The reason why Hong Tao doesn't blame others or why he wants to do such a thankless thing is that he doesn't want this kind of progress. He thinks that although sometimes it will be more expensive and slower, this kind of habit and social perception is still a good thing for society. If you only look at the immediate interests and destroy the conscientious and responsible concept of the craftsmen, then in a few years, the products of the Spring Alliance will stink on the streets of the world and become synonymous with cheap and inferior quality. When the time comes, what craftsman spirit will be emphasized, there is no hoisting, people always learn bad and easy to learn good and difficult, this is human nature, and then want to get back the lost faith, the difficulty can be imagined.

Most of the more than 50 kilometers of new canals were dug deep using the original river channel, and a small number of them had to be diverted due to the topography. Just hearing how difficult it is to dig this canal, in fact, I don't feel that there is any difficulty. But when the boat passed through the man-made canyons, Hong Tao really knew how hard it would take to make a deep ditch in these hilly heights. Even if the geological layer here is dominated by limestone and not too hard, it is not easy.

Joseph's account of the canal site in Stone Harbor and himself is also basically true, and from time to time you can see several tall wooden watchtowers on the bank, and there must be one or two slave lofts near the watchtowers, which is basically a section. Now that most of the sections to the north were nearing completion, and most of the slaves had moved farther south, there weren't too many people that Hong Tao could see. The main task of the remaining men was to finish the stone-built embankment, and by the way, pave a path next to the northern embankment and wind along the canal.

Although the number of people is small, you can still see the scenes of their life and work from those lofts. In general, the living conditions of these slaves were quite good, there were no improvisation shacks, and the most inferior houses were built of logs, just like the settlers in Jinhewan back then. It is estimated that Luo Youde will not build a more trouble-free and simpler house, he thinks that the square wooden house invented by Hong Tao is already very simple and simple. Anyway, there is no shortage of wood here, and even if you don't build a house, the area along the river will have to be cut down, which is just a double win.

The location of Luo Youde and Luo Mei, more than 20 kilometers away from the Pacific coastline, is the southernmost point of the mountainous area in the middle of the isthmus.

It was the sea, and anyone with a little sailing experience could feel it right away. This small ridge is the last hard bone to bite, and if it is blown open, the water from the middle of the mountain will split into two streams, one flowing north along the original river into the Gulf of Mexico, and the other will turn south from the highest point more than ten kilometers south of Stone Harbor and flow into the newly dug canal. In order to ensure that the water is abundant, Luo Youde also rerouted two small rivers in the western part of the mountain and injected them into the new canal together, just waiting for the canal to cross this mountain beam and blow up the upstream embankment, and the water in the new canal will skyrocket.

"You can't let our father and son stay a few more days, you don't have to be so anxious to rush to your life." Seeing Hong Tao coming, Luo Youde didn't mean to be a little happy, he felt that Hong Tao was the biggest obstacle between their father and son, and this time he might have to call his son away from him again.

"Don't dislike me, the canal is almost over, and I don't have much time to get in your way, and when the time comes, we will be separated by tens of thousands of miles, and you won't have a chance to let me rush my life." I said, Lao Luo, your canal is about to catch up with the moat in the imperial city, and it will definitely be no problem in a hundred years. Well, it's called the Roche Canal, what's up? On the issue of the separation of Luo Youde and Luo Meimei's father and son, Hong Tao is at a loss, so he won't talk back if he asks Luo Youde to complain a few words, and he has to coax this handsome old guy to order.

"It's cost-effective, our Luo family should be profiteers in your eyes! One hundred years! A big project that killed thousands of people can only be used for a hundred years in my hands! You'd better go back to Sun City and tinker with your warships and cannons, and don't come here to disgust me. I didn't think about it, this fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and Luo Youde was obviously not very satisfied with the service life given by Hong Tao.

"Gotta get it, even if I don't know how to talk nonsense, this is a river for thousands of years, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to do without it. What about the Americas and the salamander? Hong Tao didn't know how people in this era defined the service life of such a river, so he just didn't talk about it.

"They went to the mountain beam to help calculate the amount of explosives......" Luo Youde pointed down the mountain.

"I said Lao Luo, why are you so confused, you still have to let them do this kind of work? You're not afraid of blowing up your son after a puff of smoke! After listening to Luo Youde's answer, Hong Tao was immediately on the verge of turning his face. Whether it is Luo Mei or Hong Salamander, he doesn't want to have an accident, go to the construction site to put explosives, this Nima is the most fatal job. Joseph counted that more than three-quarters of the thousands of casualties were caused by the use of explosives. In order to reduce the amount of explosives used, it is necessary to increase the power of explosives, and Bush has already used nitrocellulose. This thing is much more sensitive than black powder, and it is very dangerous to operate and store, let the slave operate it, and if it dies, it will die, so how can you let your son-in-law and daughter touch it.

"You're talking light, you don't know what kind of color your girl is? With her fan, our stupid son is also coming to the strong, and I have to be able to persuade him! Luo Youde put all the basins on Hong Tao's head, listen to him, if something happens to Luo Meimei, Hong Tao will have to blame.

“…… You wait, I'll call them back for you. The two of you go over there and dig a pit, bury all the grenades on your bodies, and after the explosion, go down the mountain and shout, and say that the Luo Shenji has been blown up by explosives, and don't say anything else. "Whether the salamander is pulling Luo Mei, or Luo Mei is pulling the Hong salamander, they have to be called back anyway. But what method is very learned, Hong Tao chose the most trouble-free and effective.

"Why don't you say you've been blown up!" Luo Youde really admires the face of Dead Hongtao, no matter what time it is, he can always come up with the most shameless and effective countermeasures.

"Because they didn't know I was coming, and if they did, they wouldn't believe I was going to be blown up. Stop talking nonsense, find a place to hide, and wait to see if your son is really filial. You said how would you feel if he ran up to him smiling and ready to see if you were dead or not? Hong Tao pulled Luo Youde down the mountain, hid behind a big rock, and casually put forward a hypothesis.

"Our Luo family doesn't have this kind of thing, but your Hong family has a possibility. Aren't you just ousted by your son, maybe Jinhe is waiting for your death every day, and he won't feel well if you don't die. "This time Luo Youde really couldn't bear it, Hong Tao's mouth was too damaged, and he was disgusted with his own son. There is no other way to deal with this kind of person but to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

"You guessed right this time, even if Jin He didn't think so before, he would definitely think this way in a few days. I finally erased the shadow of my old emperor from the empire, and I just wanted to make a contribution to myself, but I jumped out and stabbed my own son in the back, how many such fathers can there be in the world? It's a pity that Luo Youde's counterattack didn't work, Hong Tao not only didn't get angry, but also added details with a shy face, as if it was a very commendable thing to harm his son behind his back.
