In the next three days, they peeled off more than 2,000 seals, got hundreds of tons of seals, and got more than a dozen tons of seals oil and tons of seals------ quality of seals here is obviously better than in Nankai.

Fur seals are actually full of treasures, such as fur seal whips, fur seal oil, seal leather, seal fur, etc., and even chefs in Nankai have made big dishes such as braised seal fins and shredded seal meat.

Many famous doctors in Nankai believe that seal oil has the function of brightening the eyes and moisturizing the lungs.

The sailors who went to Fur Dog Island began a slaughter.

Fur seals can't be shot with guns, not to mention the waste of bullets, but also the destruction of the fur.

Fur seals made of fur fur are very popular with the army and navy in Shandong, especially the imperial navy stationed in the Yalu River Free Trade Zone!

Put them on and don't be afraid of the cold winter wind!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong concluded that in the near future, the Imperial Military Department would definitely launch a military uniform made of fur seal fur------- so it would be better to provide a batch to the Military Department himself.

The only way to do this is to hit the skulls of fur seals with iron and wooden sticks, and then cut their arteries with a knife when they are knocked unconscious, so that they can be brought back to life while skinning.

There are so many fur seals on Fur Dog Island that it's almost impossible to get their feet on.

This gave the sailors plenty of room to choose, mature and old, not to pick half of the big and a few months of blows.

The meat quality of the half-size is good, the skin is not soft or hard, and the thickness is just right.

The months are so soft that they can be made into a few fine leather air covers, and if there are enough of them, the brothers of the army and navy will not be stumbling in winter.

The fur seals must have seen people for the first time, and none of them showed signs of fear, but rather ignored them and looked very proud------- they really thought that this island was theirs.

Soon there was a muffled sound of knocking on the island, and the fur seals that had been struck did not scream and stood up.

Next, the blood on the island began to flow into the sea------- Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong put away the binoculars.

It's really cold here, and the blood and water can't attract sharks.

After three busy days, they left ------ place on Fur Dog Island seemed to be a little more relaxed.

Next, they passed through the Laomai Strait in great peace, and the weather in the Pacific Ocean was noticeably much better than there.

For the rest of the voyage, everything was as simple as it could be.

They stopped at the docks in the copper mining area and gave them some fur seal meat------ and when they suddenly saw the five-masted warship flying the flag of the Federal Empire, they all cheered, and they really looked like they had seen their relatives.

This is a warship from the Nankai region!

Maybe we'll be able to go there in the future!

Even the Inca laborers rejoiced, and there were more and more messengers of the sun god------

They docked for three days and also helped carry a shipment of cornmeal and wheat flour to the nitrate mines, as well as some coal.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong understood that there was still a lack of transport sailboats that could travel along the coast.

The copper mining area is now a complete town, with about 350,000 people, and the number of Inca laborers is 70%.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong also saw a lot of black laborers, all of whom were transported from Australia.

The Federation Empire had less than three thousand people.

But the supervisor here whispered to Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong: "They are very obedient, every time we blast the work face, they have to kneel on the ground and pray------- Governor Wang Zheng said that in the near half a year, a large number of laborers from Korea and Japan will be sent."

As long as the working face is blown up, almost all the copper ore here can be picked up directly by hand, but unfortunately it can't be picked up. ”

There are seven tall chimneys of the copper smelters in the copper mining area, which means that there are seven smelting workshops, which is really a huge copper smelter.

But the supervisor here said that seventy more workshops would not be too busy!

Some copper contains silver, and we don't care about refining it anymore, so we just smelt it into blister copper and send it home------

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong saw that there were five copper ore piles more than ten zhang high in the ore storage field in the distance, and what was lacking here were smelting craftsmen.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong asked, "How many more people can dig copper ore here?" ”

The supervisor whispered: "I only sent people to explore a radius of thousands of miles, and at the current rate of mining and smelting, I estimate that I will not be able to mine it in five hundred years!" ”

Five hundred years?!

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, this is a treasure land that the empire can produce within five hundred years.

Is it okay to have security issues?!

But the supervisor said carelessly:

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, don't worry, don't mention that we have a platoon of army here------ the workers and craftsmen of our empire still have hairpists.

When it comes to hunting in autumn, almost everyone has a catch!

Tell me, what kind of natives can defeat us? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong walked around the town with a few of his subordinates, the security was very good, it seemed that they were all at work, and they met a few pedestrians by chance, all of them were in a hurry, maybe they could be more lively after work?

------ even met a few Inca patrolmen, and even saluted them!

It's a pity that there are too few shops, and there are very few women.

However, the supervisor who accompanied him still did not care, saying:

"Governor Wang Zheng said that he would soon set up a cotton spinning and linen spinning factory here, and there would be more women at that time.

Now those shops are all opened by Yin Di'an Group Company, which is a little less, but Governor Wang Zheng said that this will soon attract investment to our people, and it will also attract investment to the Great Song Dynasty.

We don't collect taxes for three years, and anyway, the copper they smelt is all shipped home, and it won't fall into the sea, which can be regarded as indirectly helping us.

I've heard that both the nitrate and silver mines will be like this------ the wealth of the world is endless, and we can't have it alone! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong liked his optimism and said, "There are also copper mines in the Nankai area------

"I know ------- Australia, and there are islands in the Philippines, but we have the highest grade copper ore here!

can go to the Nankai area, and then come to us, can you almost make a sea trip?! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong calculated in his heart, is it too much? It's been more than two months.

However, he was reluctant to hit the optimistic supervisor and nodded in agreement.

When the Imperial Navy left, many people from the town came to see them off, along with many baskets of peaches.

The peach trees they planted back then are now beginning to produce fruit.

The two sides said goodbye.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong saw clearly from the warship that the quality of the grassland here was obviously not as good as that of the Pampas.

I really don't know who is playing a huge game of chess with a big hand------ here alone has five hundred years of output------

He couldn't help but be dignified, these are the wealth of future generations for dozens of lifetimes.

Soon arrived at the nitrate mining area, where the port conditions were very good, and the five-masted naval warships could dock directly.

And there are three large and small ports.

Governor Wang Zheng personally greeted them at the port.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong and a group of officers gave him a standard military salute.

"The Empire is with us!"

Governor Wang Zheng said kindly: "Okay, my transoceanic hero, you have made up the last one of the round-the-world routes, and history will remember your name!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Tong smiled faintly, if it was before, he might really be proud, but seeing someone like Major Xin, he really can't be proud now.

Where he doesn't know, in an industry he doesn't understand, how many people are as obscure and dedicated as Major Xin?!

Compared with those who are satisfied with eating, drinking, money, and money, Major Xinda, the optimistic supervisor, and the director of Huang Poluo in the Nankai area, as well as the little second governor who is far away from the island, Governor Wang Zheng, they are the real heroes!

Of course, I can be considered one of them------
