As the storm passed, a group of a dozen Army soldiers in army green combat uniforms walked out of their humble huts made of surrounding dead branches and weedy banana leaves on the edge of a shoal on Christmas Island, heading towards the natives, apparently not spared from the storm as they could see from the wet patches on their bodies.

"Damn, this is the most unlucky place I've ever been," Makarov looked a little annoyed as he looked at his uniform, which had just been soaked by the storm, the seventh time since the first day of his landing, and the damn mosquitoes, who couldn't sleep at all, with storms during the day and annoying buzzing mosquitoes at night.

"Hey, hey, lazy people, get up and work, today's task is not finished yet, if you want to eat enough, hurry up and work." As soon as Makarov thought of these tragic events, he vented all his anger on the natives.

At this time, it has been a week since landing on Christmas Island, because it is just in January, according to the annual climate and environment of the island, it is in the rainy season, although the sky is a little unbeautiful, and there are storms every day, but under the command of Xiao Baitu, more than 200 natives have built a temporary wharf to ensure that the sea blue can easily unload the materials when it returns to the sea.

"Two defensive posts at the port must be built, and forts must be built around the Christmas Island government station." Xiao Baitu held the construction drawings in his hand and pointed in several directions, if he was wearing a red hard hat at this time, he would still look like a planner at the construction site in later generations, and He Yu beside him was wearing an army combat uniform, standing beside him, nodding and frowning. It is the same as the main living gathering place of Christmas Island residents in later generations, the place where Xiao Baitu and others landed is the Flying Fish Bend in the northeast of Christmas Island, and the choice here is not because it is the main gathering place of Christmas Island residents in later generations, but because it is convenient to build a port, the entire Christmas Island coastline is 80 kilometers long, but most of them are cliffs, only about 13 shoals, and the largest one is Flying Fish Bay.

"Brother Xiao, you are completely building a fortress, I dare to guarantee that as long as it is built well, there are enough ammunition, weapons and food, even if we encounter a large-scale pirate sneak attack, we can resist it for a while, as long as this material is replaced with reinforced concrete, it is an impenetrable fortress."

"Of course, we have to be responsible for our own lives, I don't want to stay here forever, this is just a starting point of my life, and my world must be local in the future." Xiao Baitu had a smug and intoxicated expression on his face, as if he had thought of the moment when he would become the boss of the executive committee in the future.

"What a word, you must also have ideals, don't look at you are only 21 years old now, but it is not small in this era, and your world in the future must not be limited to the army, you should pay more attention to others." Regarding Xiao Baitu's preaching, before the crossing, he was just a national defense student who had not graduated, but he smiled and did not answer, and he really didn't have many ideas for the future.

Since landing on Christmas Island, Xiao Baitu has shown the face of an evil capitalist, dividing the two hundred natives into three classes and carrying out three shifts for rotational construction, just a short week, the natives are logging and building houses and building docks, which can be said to be miserable.

Also suffering is the soldiers of the first squad of the army, who originally thought that they would only come to this island to be responsible for daily security work, but they did not expect to have to endure such a harsh climate on the island in addition to supervising the work of the natives in three shifts a day.

Although everyone has some complaints about Xiao Baitu's actions, they really don't dare to say it because he is the highest official. In addition to the basic port and wharf construction, he also plans to reclaim 100 acres of land for growing grain and vegetables.

Considering that growing grain and vegetables requires a large amount of fresh water for irrigation, he also specially asked An Lan to come to a map of Christmas Island, and planned to build a large reservoir, which can be used to irrigate the land in addition to drinking water for daily island residents, but according to An Lan's introduction, the suitable site for building a reservoir is in the north of the island, so his current large-scale land reclamation plan is only a small part.

In addition, he also knew according to the situation of later generations that the main export product of Christmas Island is phosphate, which is a good thing, it is one of the most commonly used food additives in later generations, and it can also be made into fertilizer, of course, different varieties of phosphate have different uses.

For example, the phosphate used in food processing is usually sodium salt, calcium salt, potassium salt and iron salt and zinc salt as a nutritional fortifier, and there are more than 30 varieties of commonly used food-grade phosphate, and sodium phosphate is the main consumption type of domestic food phosphate in later generations.

Of course, it is impossible to mine phosphate now, in addition to the need for relevant professionals, there must be enough manpower, so Xiao Baitu is not in a hurry to think about this now, according to his planning steps, this is placed in the second phase of the development plan, and his first phase plan is to build a hotel integrating accommodation and entertainment.

Before taking office, he submitted a self-hematopoietic plan for Christmas Island, which mentioned that the development of the unique economy of Christmas Island is actually to open casinos and some entertainment venues, which will definitely not be agreed to by everyone in Manchester City, even if it is agreed by men, it is estimated that those women will not, but it is different in overseas consulates like Christmas Island. So the executive committee agreed with him to open an entertainment hotel and even allowed certain special industries.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you are going to build this into 17th century Las Vegas, is it possible according to your estimate? In my opinion, transportation is not as convenient as in later generations, and neither merchants nor nobles of various countries will go to sea by boat for the enjoyment of adventure. ”

Regarding He Yu's questioning, Xiao Baitu smiled and patiently explained: "The princes and nobles can not risk going to sea, but those merchants will go to sea by boat for the sake of profit, and all the Australian goods trading places will be set up here in the future, and the goods transported from the mainland will be delivered to the merchants of various countries from here, and the goods that need to be imported from Australia will be transported back from here, and these merchants must rest and rest when they arrive here, so there must be a market." ”

"Doesn't that mean it's a transit point for immigrants? In the future, all immigrants will be sent here, and then transported back to the mainland, how can it become a trading place for Australian goods. ”

"What you said is just one thing, according to the development plan of Christmas Island, this place will be a trading market for Australian commodities for a long time in the future, at least until Australia develops enough self-protection ability, so we have a great responsibility." Xiao Baitu smiled and patted the young officer's shoulder and walked towards a construction site.
