It was just that there was some trouble opening the inlet from the canal to the waterfall, which was supposed to be the last in the plan. But I didn't expect that after everything was ready, I found that the rock was extremely hard, all of which were whole basalt, and I could only smash a small pit with a spade, and I didn't know when I would knock it by hand.

After discussion, it was decided to use explosives, and the chemical group took out all their current stocks for Lao Lin to select, and finally chose the newly made chlorate explosive - theoretically, the explosive power of this explosive should be equal to that of nitrate products, but the quality of the test samples taken out by the chemical group was not good, and its power was only half that of ordinary black powder in the same quantity, which was very unsuitable for military use.

However, there is no problem with the use of engineering power, and it is good to increase the amount of explosives if the explosive power is insufficient.

After calculation, a full 10 kilograms of chlorate explosives were placed at the explosion point, and a fuse about 30 meters long was dragged out of the explosive bag. Theoretically, the fuse burned for two minutes, but everyone waited in the tunnel for nearly three minutes and still didn't hear anything.

"Damn, it's an inferior product again! Can't you bring some good goods from your chemistry team? ”

Lin Hanlong scolded and straightened up, and just wanted to walk over to take a look, when there was a sudden loud bang on the side of the explosion point, and countless rubble flew everywhere. The former contractor didn't snort, and planted straight back into the tunnel.

"Ambulance! Doctor! There are seriously wounded here! ”

A few young men in the tunnel opened their throats and shouted, and Pang Yu and the others hurriedly rushed to this side with stretchers, but at this time, Lin Hanlong sat up slowly, but his face was a little confused, obviously still in a state of vertigo.

Jack and Lao Shi rushed up at the same time and pressed him to the stretcher, and thoroughly touched his whole body, and finally confirmed that there were no missing parts, but there was a small abrasion on his face. After a simple bandage, Chief Engineer Lin re-entered the construction site, and led a group of stick boys to take turns wielding an eight-pound sledgehammer and beating for 30 minutes, and finally cleaned the aqueduct.

After that, we built auxiliary equipment rooms, installed motors and substation and distribution equipment, and built houses for machine tools and other equipment that were moved...... There was no need for all of them to participate, and the members of the engineering team plus the captive labour team were sufficient for the job.

By the time the engineering team was able to relax a little, the whole month of January was almost over. When the first turbine finally started to hum. All the traversers who could spare time gathered next to the hydropower station and cheered at the row of small shiny light bulbs next to the motors.

God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

While waiting for the cement to be cured, the group also took the time to build a salt pan by the sea, and solved the problem of trading with the locals that has been a headache for the crossers recently. With salt as a lubricant, the relationship between the traverser and the locals is much lighter than before. The salt pan is large enough that it no longer has to be used with the same elaboration as white rice. In a deserted place like Hainan Island, salt and rice are obviously more suitable as general equivalents than copper and silver.

As the second month of 1630 was approaching, the travelers found that their salt sales had increased dramatically. In addition to the local residents in the market, there are even many Li people in the villages on the mountains outside the city who also carry mountain goods to exchange for salt. But it wasn't until someone brought firecrackers to exchange salt that everyone remembered that it was almost the New Year.

According to the perpetual calendar, the Lunar New Year in 1630 AD should be on February 12, but at the end of January, there is already a very strong atmosphere in the local New Year. The usually empty streets suddenly became more crowded, and I don't know where these people usually hide.

Now the locals have stopped hiding when they see the crosser, and some children are even laughing as they run behind the butt of the bicycle. The roads in the county town have been leveled and can basically be ridden all the way, without having to ride a section and carry a section like before.

The most exaggerated time was when Hu Wen rode a bicycle to run errands, and when she came out, she found that her bicycle had been ridden away by a few half-sized children - the locals had never dared to approach before, and everyone had become accustomed to leaning their bicycles against the wall of the door. Of course, the little bunnies are not smart enough to learn to ride a bicycle just by looking at it, one of the children sits on the saddle of the car like a traverser but can't hold the faucet, and the other friends are helping on both sides, stupidly pushing the car in a circle.

As soon as the owner came out, the cowardly men immediately scattered, only the little guy riding on the bike would not get off, and he fell to the ground on his side with the bicycle, and then began to cry, and he didn't know whether he fell or was scared.

The surrounding people immediately turned their eyes to it, and many adults showed nervousness on their faces, they were obviously not as forgetful as children, and the hot scene of these "short-haired" people holding muskets and killing them a few days ago was not so easy to forget. But fortunately, Hu Wen is doing party affairs after all, and she has rich experience in following the leaders to the mountains and countryside to engage in poverty alleviation. Immediately put on a smiling face and comforted him, plus a piece of high-end chocolate candy, and soon the little guy burst into tears and smiled, holding the chocolate to show off to his companions.

Afterwards, everyone unanimously praised Hu Wen for handling things properly, and even asked if he took advantage of the Chinese New Year to take some materials out and distribute them in the city, so as to buy people's hearts. However, after Ling Ning and the others counted the number of inventories, they found that there was really nothing to come up with, and modern materials must not be used for favors, and the main energy of the people during this period of time was focused on explosives and electricity, and other living materials except for salt were still tight.

Comrade Lin Feng, who is engaged in the economy, resolutely opposes the use of salt to do favors, saying that from the perspective of economics, the amount of money should not be too much, and so on, and the theory is not as clear as Pang Yu's sentence after talking for a long time:

"At the moment, the locals think that our salt is very high-quality, so they are willing to exchange good things with us. But if we casually give away salt for free, it means that it is worthless, and they may not accept salt as currency in the future. ”

So this proposal had to be abandoned, but Xie Xi still wanted to try to build relations with the locals, after all, they would have to live in this area for a long time in the future, and they must be able to put down roots.

So far, the relationship with the locals has been gradually easing, but there seems to be no "breakthrough", and the gap between the traveler and the locals has always existed. Even with captive laborers as a bridge in between, it is difficult for most modern people to communicate directly with the locals.

But there are exceptions to everything, and the girls in the trading group seem to be very good at this. Ling Ning's wife, Zhuo Ming, was even able to bargain with the fishermen in the local dialect, and every time she went out to trade with her, she could be seen chatting and laughing with the fishermen in the village in a strange Hokkien accent, and then she could always get a few more baskets of fish. As a local native, Huang Xiaodong, Wang Ruobin and others were always dumbfounded and couldn't understand what they were talking about, so they were unanimously despised by everyone.

Xiao Huang and the others, whose self-esteem was damaged, finally invited Ling Ning and his wife to a meal of seafood, and then asked Zhuo Ying for the secret, but Zhuo Ying smiled and told them - she actually didn't understand what the fishermen were saying, but as long as she had a smile on her face, the negotiation would always achieve a good result.

I thought that Zhuo Ying was already relatively powerful, but one day, Professor Li Mingyuan inadvertently mentioned it in a casual chat: he said that he had had several pleasant conversations with the local magistrate! This took everyone by surprise.

Since the crossing, most of the people in this group have been assigned tasks and are quite busy every day, but Professor Li Mingyuan and his wife are an exception - of course, they are a pair of people in their sixties who will not be assigned to work. The old lady was very polite, although she was also a university professor, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen every day to help Master Li cook together. And the old gentleman shows the arrogance of Chinese traditional knowledge practitioners, and he would rather wander around when he has nothing to do.

The old professor is engaged in history, and now that he is personally in this historical environment, he will certainly not let go of a great opportunity. In the past two months, the old man has studied everything inside and outside Lingao County, and he has written two large research notes. However, after learning the lesson of the last time, he basically will not leave the sight of other young people, and he will tell others about his whereabouts when he goes in and out, and he is very conscious not to cause trouble to everyone.

came and went, I don't know what's going on, I actually talked to the county master surnamed Cheng - it seems that the old man finished studying the warehouse and the Confucian Temple, and then he set his sights on the county yamen. However, after all, the county government is different from other places, there are still Ming Dynasty officials in the office, and he is not as unscrupulous as the young men, and he is not embarrassed to step in after wandering around the door a few times.

However, the county master has also paid attention to this group of outsiders for a long time, after all, everything this group of people does can be said to be shocking. What puzzled him the most was that this group of people did not run away after robbing the warehouse, but instead lived in the city in a big way, but did not interfere with the rule of the old government - not like the rogue, but they had never seen such a rebellion.

But if they are good citizens, these people do not show any mercy when dealing with the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard, and they called these people "short-haired widows" in the past, but later found that they did not rob things or set fires, and they did not look like Japanese people in their speech and demeanor, so they removed the word "widow".

So now, the common people inside and outside Lingao City call these eccentric outsiders a popular and affectionate name - "short hair".

Cheng Xianling took the initiative to contact these people several times to find out what their intentions were. But every time I think of the incomparably powerful firepower of the Crossing Crowd, I feel terrified, and I can't take that step. Until the official came to the door to report that the oldest old man in the "shorthair" had been wandering around the door lately, as if he wanted to come in and have a look.

Those young and strong short-haired ones are not to be messed with, and an old man seems to be nothing to be afraid of. And Cheng Xianling remembered that he had caught this old man at the beginning, and he was a scholar at a glance. Readers are always talkative, and when they caught it, they planned to ask about it, and now it seems to be an opportunity.

So Cheng Xianling politely but secretly invited the old professor into the door, invited him to the study to deliver a cup of strong tea, and the two sides began initial contact......
