Chapter 289: North Island

In fact, this time the "army" of Maori people only has a thousand people, but they are very smart. The aborigines who can go from Africa to Australia and then cross to New Zealand are really developed in adventure genes, and they can be described as brave and good at fighting, and they are good at using night raids and tunnels, hiding in tunnels during the day and coming out at night to surprise the British army.

Their leader, Titokowaru, 45 years old, was in the prime of his resourcefulness, taking advantage of New Zealand's mountainous terrain to block the newcomers of the Royal Navy in a ravine, and after three days and three nights of siege, the British army was on the verge of collapse, and with no more reinforcements, they were about to consider surrendering.

Unlike his subordinates, Titokowaru believed that the Europeans were more advanced in military technology and would make a comeback sooner or later, and look at these two counterattacks to see how strong the British army was, and the prospects of the Maori tribes were not optimistic, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much, and he had to teach the colonists a hard lesson.

The Maori are not unreasonable, nor are they unwilling to assimilate into the modern civilization dominated by Europeans, such as Titokowaru, who himself has joined the Protestant Methodist Church. He wanted to live in peace with the colonizers, but the colonists were racist and discriminatory, and they took the lead in attacking Maori villages during the conflict.

While Titokowaru was discussing with his men when the enemy would surrender, a strange roar was heard in the blue sky of New Zealand, and Titokowaru and everyone looked in the direction of the sea to the west where the sound came, and 15 small black dots flew towards them at an altitude of thousands of meters.

Coming from the sea, meaning probably reinforcements from the British Royal Navy, the alert Titokowaru shouted: "Ready to fight!" Take up arms! ”

The Maori warriors offered the K1 rifles, the weapons of mass murder sold by the French traitors, but they had never had experience in dealing with air power before, and even the bravest warriors had a sense of fearful powerlessness when they encountered a threat from the sky. Not to mention anything else, my neck hurts after a long time.

The British Royal Navy may still have the strongest ships except for the warlords of Windsor, but their concept of air combat is very conservative, thinking that helicopters are mainly reconnaissance functions, so the British air force is not as effective as the United States and France.

When the United States, France, and Russia jointly built attack helicopters, Britain was also developing helicopters, but the progress was obviously much slower than when the three countries joined forces and there was a threat of foreign enemies, the United States, France, and Russia have formally formed a certain air combat power, and the British Royal Navy has not yet purchased fighters on a large scale, so the navy that came to the expedition this time did not even have a helicopter, otherwise it would not have fallen into the ambush of the Maori.

The Warlords of Windsor have fully entered the era of the Air Force, even the Navy is dominated by naval aviation, a giant wing-to-ground effect aircraft called the "Pelican" model can be loaded with standard 100 helicopters, is the latest standard configuration of the Windsor Navy, their rapid maneuverability is the first in the world, and the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean can reach the battlefield within 14 hours of North America, South America, Siberia, Japan, China, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Sri Lankan naval base at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent is the core of the Indian Ocean, with India, the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, Madagascar, and the west coast of Australia all within its "10-hour protection circle".

Titokowaru was a strategist who knew how to advance and retreat, and he suspected that these flying objects were not the British army, so he stopped his own men from shooting casually in a panic, giving both sides room to maneuver. After reconnaissance, it didn't take long for the naval aviation units of the Warlords of Windsor to pour out of the nest, in addition to leaving 10 helicopters to guard the nest, 90 AH64 and UH64 were formed into a small team of 5 planes, a total of 18 formations came out of the nest. 【For more exciting novels, please visit wèn】

All helicopters are equipped with autopilot software that allows them to switch to automatic formation cruising when flying in formation, so the Maori see a formidable air strike force that is more neatly arranged than migratory birds. This is a demonstration of the Warlords of Windsor to the natives, trying to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight.

Titokowaru, who was also a telegraph man, asked his French allies, thousands of miles away, how to deal with the air force. If the French were able to deal with them, they would not have to play the "three-legged balance" of the government of national defense, the government of the Commune and the warlords of Windsor on their own soil. The French, who had lost their friends, advised the Maori to prepare for a protracted war and to avoid the Windsor warlords' air force.

Titokowaru is not stupid, he intuitively feels that it is too difficult to fight with the air force, and after racking his brains, he decides to negotiate with the other side and is willing to make some concessions, no way, the enemy is too strong.

Before the Hawaii Naval Base set out to rescue the besieged British Force, Downing, a different warlord, invited biologists to discuss whether it was better for the ecosystem to help the Maori or the British colonists.

I don't know if the naturalists who visited New Zealand were pro-British or how, they believed that the tropical crops brought by the South Pacific tropical race when they migrated to New Zealand could not grow there, so the Maori people switched to eating a "moa" that can grow up to 3 meters tall on the island, which caused the extinction of this exotic animal, and then led to the extinction of the Hast Hawk, the largest eagle ever to feed on moas, so the survival of the indigenous people was not good for the ecosystem.

Now that the Maori have obtained the K1 rifle, which is more capable of hunting, I am afraid that if no measures are taken, the extinction of life on the island will be exacerbated. Therefore, the Windsor Expeditionary Force received an order to salute before soldiers, and to ask the Aboriginal people to accept the ecological protection bill issued by the relevant departments of the Windsor Consortium, and if the two sides could not reach a big fight.

Similarly, even the colonial government had to accept the Ecological Protection Act. It is easier to please God than to send God, since the warlords of Windsor are here, they will serve as the task of New Zealand's "peacekeeping force", and both sides must be restrained, not for any benefit, but for the sake of our common home.

If the government does not agree, it cannot force it, the Windsor consortium will move a large number of immigrants here, more than the original colonists, and then there will be a referendum, and the bill will have to be passed.

Fortunately, this backup plan did not work, and the British were actually more afraid of the Windsor consortium, and accepted the construction of a military port in New Zealand by the peacekeepers without resistance, as well as the ecological protection bill. The expeditionary force first airlifted a large number of supplies to the besieged British army, and then Shi Shiran slowly negotiated with the soldiers of Titokowaru.

There was not just one Maori tribe, and they attacked each other, so the Maori tribe often built forts, fortress-like homes on the hills, which they called "pa". In order to find the legendary moa that may have survived, the expeditionary force also carried the good wishes of the biologists, and the Windsor Consortium offered rewards to tribes and colonists for finding the moa.

New Zealand's environment is a bit like New Guinea, with very few predators, no snakes, no wolves, and no venomous species, so many birds here have degraded their ability to fly in a safe environment. The moa was the dominant plant food species here before the emergence of humans, and it is also a flightless bird.

The overwhelming superiority of the air force against the natives who do not like to fight this battle, but unfortunately, the expeditionary force did not have a chance to fight, after showing off its might, Titokowaru was obviously weak, the plan to "eat raw" Europeans was interrupted, and the mediation of the Windsor consortium was fully accepted, and the siege of the British Royal Marines was relieved.

One of the major geographical advantages of New Zealand over New Guinea is that it has vast grasslands that are ideal for grazing. In order to protect local wildlife, it is not possible to legislate and find a more suitable source of food for the natives, so the subsequent "Smart Ranch" construction team showed the natives a new way of animal husbandry.

The smart pasture encloses the cows and the little merino sheep and feeds them through the guò trough, while the mower automatically travels to the distant grassy area every day to collect the fodder, which is fed into the trough with the help of rollers and a new radio tower dedicated to positioning.

The clever lawnmower can even "remember" the mowing route that has been taken yesterday, and move directly to the front of the route to continue the unfinished mowing business of yesterday. Since the mower can work 24 hours a day, its productivity is several times that of a herder. The island of New Zealand, where human resources are scarce, is an attractive investment.

Not only the natives who watched were dumbfounded, but even the colonizers and peasants were ecstatic. The Bank of Zurich made a strong entry into New Zealand's financial sector, particularly lending to the poorly banked natives, leading them away from a primitive way of fishing and hunting to farming and animal husbandry.

Considering that New Zealand's animal husbandry industry is about to develop rapidly, Tangning has also set up a special research and development of automatic milking machines, large machine qì slaughtering centers and other super agricultural equipment, he is not ready to do all the industrial chain by himself, but to master these core links.

It is said that milking at two o'clock in the morning tastes the best, this ...... Boss Tang can't eat it, but since the dairy farmer said that, so be it. With the milking machine, which is connected to the concentration pool through guò pipes, the efficiency of milking workers has increased by hundreds, and the cost of fresh milk for humans will be lower than ever.

Direct consumption of unsterilized milk will endanger hài health, and UHT disinfection will lead to damage of nutrients, and the taste is not so good, so drinking Tang's low-temperature sterilized milk invented by Boss Tang is the best choice. It heats the milk to between 72C and 85C for 15 seconds, killing most of the harmful bacteria and preserving the nutrients of raw milk almost perfectly.

In order to transport the highest quality milk to distant markets, such as densely populated Asia, the Pelican Ground Effect Conveyor can come in handy, it can deliver fresh milk to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia within 18 hours.

The Mongolian savannahs are so large that nomads have lived here for so long that they are overgrazing and are so dense that they can be overgrazing, so New Zealand's pastures are useful. At this time, there were not more than 10,000 European colonists.

If the shelf life of fresh milk is too short, you can also learn from the nomads and make yogurt and cheese from milk, which has a shelf life of more than ten times that of Down's sterilized milk, of which the nutritional preservation of yogurt is second only to fresh milk. If you are still not satisfied, then make it into milk powder.

Today's milk powder has been commercially produced, and it was invented by the Russians, but he invented a low-end method of making cakes and then grinding them into flour. Boss Tang soon came up with a spray method, first vacuuming to concentrate to a quarter of the original volume, and then spraying it into a drying room with hot air in the form of a mist, which can efficiently dehydrate into powder, which is quite magical.

Destined to become a dairy tycoon, Boss Tang set up a company specializing in New Zealand's livestock industry in Auckland, which was named "North Island Company" because Auckland is located in the North Island and the North Island, which are among New Zealand's two major islands, the North Island and the South Island. In addition to the dairy industry, the North Island Company will also be involved in the meat industry and has the potential to become the first humane slaughtering plant in history.

To be slaughtered humanely, animals must be pain-free until they are bled out. Boss Tang's design plan is to use high-voltage electric clips to let the electricity flow through the brains of the animals for a period of time, so that they can lose their sense of pain forever. For example, the power on of a sheep is best between the eyes and the ears, and the power on a pig is under the ears.

Since then, the beautiful and peaceful North Island of New Zealand will no longer hear the sound of killing pigs. Kitajima is a company that "listens to thunder in a silent place" similar to Boss Tang's style, and it also focuses on the treatment of metabolites in animal husbandry.

Broadly speaking, it will build the world's largest composting site, turning dry-heat-treated black waste (like food waste) into organic fertilizer, which can then be used to nourish the fertile fields of sustainably grazing pasture.

In Boss Tang's human health plan, the best choice for human beings to eat meat is to eat fish, and he himself does this. Because the fat of fish is mainly unsaturated fat, it will not precipitate in the blood vessels and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This is followed by beef and mutton, whose red color represents that it is rich in iron, and they are ruminants, cleaner and less parasitic.

Europe and the United States divide the flavor of steak into three types: one ripe, five ripe and fully cooked. They are rare, medium, and welldone. Among them, the first ripening is the denaturation of myosin, which is the most easily denatured among the three major components of muscle, and the taste is close to the state of raw meat.

The fifth maturation is when the internal temperature reaches 60 degrees, at which time myosin is further denatured, and the collagen in the outermost connective tissue of the three components also denatures and shrinks. At this point, the beef will be slightly firmer, more elastic and chewy than when it was ripe. The juices are starting to seep out, but there is still a lot of juice left inside, so it tastes juicy.

When the internal temperature is 75 degrees Celsius, it is welldone, myosin and collagen are further denatured, and the beef will become very hard. Due to the loss of a large amount of gravy, it will taste dry.

At temperatures above 80 degrees, actin, the last ingredient, begins to denature, which is "overheated and overheated". Only steak will be classified by gourmets, but pork chops are not, because pigs are omnivores, eat everything, do not pay attention to hygiene, are easy to get sick, and are also prone to parasites.

It is possible that some religions explicitly prohibit the consumption of pork because their prophets discovered that diseases always start spreading in pig farms, but this is only a conjecture. In short, pork is the meat that Boss Tang believes that humans should eventually consume a lot less. To achieve this ideal, of course, it is necessary to have a highly developed animal husbandry, otherwise beef is several times more expensive than pork, how can ordinary people afford to eat it?

The development of high-speed transportation by pelican aircraft is a good opportunity to give Asia, which has a very high population density, the opportunity to eat fresh beef of good quality and affordable price. Even Boss Tang asked the project team to study the establishment of a slaughtering center directly on the Pelican plane, pinching the table to carry out slaughtering, and when the plane arrived at the airport, it happened to cut the fresh meat products and put them on the market perfectly.
