"Oh, did Brother Fei make any discoveries?" Tang Ming's eyes lit up, this Fei Xin could actually say this, it should be that he has not been exposed to such a thing.

Fei Xin's words naturally attracted the attention of Fang Xiaoru and Li Ba, they didn't know much about this aspect, and they naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to increase their knowledge. Li Ba actually diligently poured a full cup of wine for everyone and offered his hospitality.

"Actually, I didn't find anything, but when I was sailing around the island, I saw a natural deep harbor on the back mountain, and even treasure ships could dock. There are even some faint traces of human activity there, so I suspect that this must have been inhabited by people before, and there were quite a few people. Fei Xin took a sip of the wine in the glass and recalled.

"You mean the humans who used to live here, they also discovered the volcano on this island, so evacuate! As for the pheasants, hares, cows and horses, and Xiaobai, they were all left behind when they evacuated? ”

Tang Ming couldn't help but guess, if you guess according to this statement, this small island is indeed no longer suitable for human habitation. But there was another reason why he couldn't understand why these people had been evacuated, while the animals and plants they had left behind on the island were still alive and well.

According to Fei Xin, it was inhabited a long time ago, so they must have been in a hurry to evacuate, so it can be guessed that they should have left in a hurry when the volcano erupted.

Then the problem is, according to the size of the volcano he observed, everything on this island would be wiped out if it erupted. But what he saw was the opposite, that everything on the island was not only living well, but that it should be much more prosperous than it had been when humans had inhabited it.

"My subordinates really think so, and it's hard for us to explain that such a small island would be uninhabited. Although the location of the island is outside the sea area of my Daming, it is not within Admiral Zheng's route, and it is not wrong that there are few people. But the sudden conditions here are so good that even if no one comes, will the ubiquitous pirates let such an island go? ”

"Yes, that's puzzling!" Fang Xiaoru stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement.

Li Ba didn't understand him and didn't speak, just turned his head to Tang Ming, only to see him frown and say: "What Brother Fei said is extremely true, there should be places on this island that we don't understand, it seems that it is necessary to explore it carefully." ”

"So what are we going to do next? Do we need to guard against pirates? Li Ba, who had never made a sound, suddenly asked on the side.

It sounded complicated to him, but shouldn't the urgency now be dealing with pirates? Chatting and chatting about the origin of this island, it's right to be careful, but things always have a priority!

Whether this small island would be like Tang Ming said, the volcanic eruption destroyed everything, he didn't care. After all, Tang Ming and everyone have been on this island for a long time, and everything on the island is not alive and well, all of this is normal, so why bother to find out the details of the island.

Tang Ming didn't know what Li Ba really thought in his heart, he only knew that all the construction on the island had to be suspended first. Even the defense of the pirates can be slowed down first, and he must be prepared to evacuate at any time in advance.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Ming and Fei Xin glanced at each other, then turned to Li Ba and said, "Everything on the island stops first, and the defense of pirates is no exception...... ”

"But this ......." Li Ba said anxiously.

Tang Ming waved his hand at him: "It is enough to defend against pirates, Brother Fei's fleet at sea, and the others can be vigilant." Brother Li, after you go back tonight, please find a dozen soldiers with better skills, and I will go with me to explore this volcano again tomorrow morning. ”

"And Brother Fei, please also send someone to report to your father-in-law, if possible, let him organize a large fleet here, remember that the sooner the better. If the volcano is really about to erupt, then there is not much time left for me, there is a lot of things on the island that cannot be wasted, and I want to empty this small island if time allows. ”

Tang Ming gave the order in one breath, and Fei Xin and Li Ba also knew that time was pressing, so they bowed and left to make arrangements. In the end, only Fang Xiaoru was left, Tang Ming clenched his fists and said softly: "I will ask my uncle to worry about everything in the family." ”

Fang Xiaoru nodded in agreement, and did not shirk it at all, although he had made it clear that he would no longer participate in political affairs. But now is a different period, and it's not good if it's too hypocritical.

After sending Fang Xiaoru away, Tang Ming remembered the crystal stone placed in Xiao Shu's place, if he could, he hoped to be able to build a pair of telescopes tonight. The crater was too hot for a person to get close enough to observe, and with a telescope he could see the volcano as it really was.

In order to save time, he directly found Xiao Shu's residence, Xiao Shu was still busy at the biogas digester, but unexpectedly, Hou Ye suddenly issued an order to stop all of them. He didn't have time to ask Hou Ye about the reason for the matter, so he saw Xiaoxi come to inform him and asked him to wait in the house, and Hou Ye would come to him soon.

Discovering that there is a volcano on the island, Tang Ming did not let everyone know about this, whether they understand the danger of volcanic eruptions or not, they must keep this secret for now. All construction on the island was suspended, and the public reason given by Tang Ming was to take a two-day holiday to let everyone have a good rest.

Although everyone didn't understand how Hou Ye suddenly launched a kind heart, no one had an opinion on being able to rest for two days, and for this, Tang Ming was praised by everyone unconsciously.

Xiao Shu didn't wait long, and saw Hou Ye followed by a big dog and slowly entered his room.

"Subordinate Xiao vulgar see Hou Ye!" Xiao Shu knelt on the ground easily, but his eyes always secretly looked at Xiao Bai's mighty body.

After Tang Ming asked him to get up, he didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Xiao vulgar, the day before yesterday, I asked you to make the crystal into a concave and convex shape, have you ever done it?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, it's all done. Only six pieces of the crystal stone were polished, and a few pieces were broken without polishing. Xiao Shu didn't expect Tang Ming to come in a hurry, but he came to ask about it.

This crystal stone is not strong, and when he first got it, he broke two or three pieces, and the subsequent polishing was not so smooth. It's no problem to polish more than two dozen pieces of that crystal stone. Due to his mistakes, only six pieces were polished, and Xiao Shu was very afraid that Hou Ye would blame him.

When he heard this, he only polished out six pieces, Tang Ming was really dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thought that Xiao Shu had never done this before, it was already good to grind out six pieces, at least it was much better than nothing.
