After listening to Yu Xiaotian, he nodded, now the problem of cement is a problem that must be solved quickly, although the mechanical equipment of firing cement can not be fully solved, but as long as you want to think of a way, it can still be done, modern machinery is definitely impossible, then the soil method is launched, as long as the quality of cement can be used, it does not have to meet the standards of later generations, but it is much larger than the current soil cement, and the quality will only be stronger than these soil cement, and it will not be better than where they go. It's almost the same as them, and it will definitely work anyway.

So he nodded solemnly and said: "There is no problem with this, after I go back this time, I will immediately start to prepare, find a way to solve this matter for you, and if it really doesn't work, you can get it on the spot, but it will take some time, as for the problem of the filter pool, you just need to prepare, if it is not possible, you will first use clay to ram it, and make do with it temporarily, this soil and cement matter, I am afraid it is not a day and a half to solve, it takes time."

In addition, you can arrange some people with weak physical strength to organize the supply of boiling water to laborers, you are right, although it is not a pity for these scumbags to die, but after all, they are also people, if they are pressed too hard, they will rebound, and if they don't get it right, there will be chaos!

Then there is the sanitation problem here, you should also pay special attention to it, build more latrines, and send people to be responsible for cleaning, first dig a large septic tank, collect human feces, including some rotten vegetable leaves and leaves and other things, are piled up and rotted, and can be used as good fertilizer in the future.

In addition, we must pay close attention to those guys who keep telling and urinating, so that they can also develop good habits, the development of this side of the province is not completed, but the epidemic will break out first! ”

"Obey the order, the lowly duty will be arranged tonight, and if any of these guys don't follow the rules in the future, see if I don't skin them!" Hey! Ma Tiancheng smiled and said, once this guy gets mad, his ruthlessness is no worse than Yan Youde, the head of the hard labor camp.

"By the way, you landed here this time, how did the local natives react?" Yu Xiaotian then thought of a rather important question.

Because there are many indigenous tribes living in the area of Dagou Harbor, there are often some merchant ships or pirates here in the past, who berth at Dagou Harbor for rest due to yaw or other reasons, but they are all attacked by the local aborigines.

So much so that many pirates or maritime merchants, when they mention the port of dogs, have a chilling feeling, the natives here are very fierce, and very hateful of outsiders, which is also related to the fact that pirates often harassed them in the past, and they regarded all outsiders as enemies.

In addition, the natives in this area are very strong, and they like the custom of headhunting, and sometimes they will suddenly launch an attack without even any reason, in fact, they just want to get a few heads back and decorate their façade as decorations.

This custom has been going on for a long time in history, and many people are scared when it comes to the indigenous tribes in this area.

And this time, the sea wolf came to develop the port of beating dogs on a large scale, and if it wants to gain a foothold here, it will definitely conflict with the indigenous tribes, which also infringes on many interests of the local indigenous tribes.

For the natives, the sea wolves are actually the real invaders, the villains who have come to rob their homeland, so it is definitely impossible to ask them not to resist.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian came to occupy Dagou Harbor this time, and sent three infantry companies and a naval company with nearly 1,000 troops at once, in addition to taking care of these hard labors, another reason is to guard against the attacks of these local natives.

As soon as he heard Yu Xiaotian ask about this, Ma Tiancheng immediately said: "The natives here are indeed fierce, as soon as we landed here, they launched a large-scale attack on us, and half a month ago, hundreds of natives suddenly appeared from the forest, and fired arrows and bidding guns at our camp and dock, killing more than 20 of our unsuspecting hard laborers at that time.

But fortunately, the lowly organization counterattacked relatively quickly, mobilized two infantry companies, and fought with them, although the natives were fierce, but after all, in the open terrain, they couldn't compare with our people.

As a result, we killed more than 200 natives that day, and the rest were so frightened that they fled back to the forest.

It is estimated that it was the natives of these three villages who attacked us at that time, but after we killed a lot, it is estimated that the rest were frightened and did not dare to live nearby anymore, so they fled into the forest!

I have ordered the reconnaissance platoon and the native auxiliaries to start a search farther away to find and find out the situation of the surrounding native tribes as soon as possible! ”

Yu Xiaotian lowered his head and thought about it, it is inevitable to have a conflict with the natives, if you want them to identify with their people to occupy here, I am afraid it is not an overnight thing, if you want to gain a firm foothold here, you can't rely on any mercy, force is their most basic guarantee, and it is impossible to use the necessary killing, so he nodded.

"Yes, these natives will definitely not honestly watch us gain a foothold here, so the use of force is inevitable, but at present, we don't need to expand outward too much, first circle the surrounding area within a radius of twenty miles, and expel the natives from Lu, that's it, as long as they don't attack in a big way, then let's not kill them too much!" You have to grasp this scale, if you are short of manpower, I will send you two more recruit companies, and from the side of Tamsui, I will send you an additional hundred native auxiliaries, and it should be possible to cooperate with the veteran company! ”

"Humble obedience, thank you to the big boss! If you can send me two more recruit companies and a hundred native auxiliaries, then I can rest assured! Now these manpower, it is indeed a little nervous! Ma Tiancheng said with a happy face.

In this way, in a short period of time, a battalion of land forces, plus a company of naval soldiers, and 170 native auxiliaries, nearly 2,000 troops, was gathered on the side of Dagou Harbor, and the safety of the port was basically guaranteed.

Yu Xiaotian didn't do too much to stop here in Dagou Port, he still had too many things to do, just here after briefly inspecting the construction of the wharf, as well as the pioneer camp near the wharf, he pointed out some problems and asked Ma Tiancheng to rectify, and after a few days, when the fleet was unloaded, Yu Xiaotian led the fleet back to Tamsui City.

On the south bank of the Tamsui River, about a dozen miles from Tamsui City, there is a small river flowing through a small mountain pass.

The river has now been blocked by a reinforced with stones and logs, forming a small reservoir in the col.

In addition to providing irrigation for tens of thousands of acres of surrounding land, the biggest advantage of this reservoir is that this reservoir can provide a relatively abundant power for sea wolves.

So far, Yu Xiaotian has not been able to build a steam engine, let alone an electric motor, and the way he obtains power, in addition to animal power and manpower, can only be used by water and wind resources.

Although wind power is relatively easy to obtain, it is not sustainable because it is affected by the wind, so in this era, the best power resources are still water resources.

However, the use of water resources is relatively large, and the selection of locations is more troublesome, but after all, this is the best guarantee that can provide power at the beginning of industrialization.

When Western European countries first began to industrialize, there was no practical steam engine invented at that time, so most European factories were built by some rivers, which used water resources.

Some of the developed industrialized cities in Europe in later generations were often located near rivers, also because of the use of water power at that time.

Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian had developed to a certain extent in Tamsui City, he still decided to use water resources to power his industrial area.

If you want to use hydraulic resources, only by the drop of the river, the water power provided by the flowing water is obviously not enough, in the past, there were also a lot of waterwheels, water mills, and hydrodynamic woodworking factories around Tamsui City, but these are too scattered and not easy to control, and it is not easy to make full use of hydraulic resources.

After a period of surveying the water system around Tamsui City, Yu Xiaotian finally chose a site in this place and ordered the construction of a dam to stop the small river and make it a small reservoir.

Although the scale of this reservoir is not large, it is nothing in later generations, but in this era, it is still a considerable project.

Fortunately, the human resources of the sea wolves are not as scarce as before, and a lot of human resources have been obtained through purchases and wars, and tens of thousands of people were invested in the construction of this reservoir, so that the dam was built in a few months and began to store water.

At the dam, three large wooden turbines were built in three steps, and the water flowed from the dam and flowed through the wheels, pushing the thick wooden blades of the wheels to start rotating.

The water wheel drives an iron shaft to provide power resources for the sea wolf, and these wooden water wheels are designed to be liftable, once needed, they are lowered, and the water can push the water wheel to provide power to the iron shaft.

When you don't need it, or when you need to overhaul the wooden water wheel, you can lift it, and the iron shaft will stop rotating, which will be more convenient to use and easier to maintain, after all, this thing is made of wood, even if it is made of extremely solid wood, but the strength of this thing is still not comparable to steel.

As for the bearing, now Yu Xiaotian can not be manufactured, so can only use ironwood to make bearings, the life will be relatively short, the speed can not be too high, only after their industrial development to a certain extent, the development of bearings and gears, in the future can gradually replace this wooden structure of the turbine.
