Chapter 350: Rushing to the Sahara

Thinking of this, Bao Xingfa hurriedly took a step forward, held Al Faruk's outstretched hand, and said in fluent English, "Hello Prince Eyre, since you are interested in our Emerald, then I will personally take you on the ship for a walk." ”

Al Faruk grinned, showed two neat rows of small white teeth, and said in authentic Chinese, "Let's just speak Chinese, I just finished my studies in China, and communicating in Chinese is not a problem." Since Captain Po had time to show us around, it couldn't have been better. ”

Next, the captain of the charter took Jiao Bai and Al Farouk to visit the upper guest room, wheelhouse, observation deck, all the way to the warehouse on the ground floor. Here, more than 1,000 construction workers are busy here, some using tools to remove the fixed locks from construction vehicles; Some drive forklifts to load building materials packed into tofu blocks onto heavy trucks; Some drove up to the construction vehicles, carefully through the narrow hatches, gangplanks, and drove to the docks. More than 1,000 workers, busy but not chaotic, well organized, show the super organizational discipline of these people, and excellent personal ability.

Seeing such a shocking scene, Al Farouk extended a thumbs up to Jiao Bai and Bao Xingfa and said, "You Chinese working class, if you are really the citizens of Mauria, when can we Mauria citizens also have this quality, the economy will be able to take off." ”

Jiao Bai and Bao Xingfa glanced at each other, and their faces showed a proud look at the same time. As far as all races are concerned, the yellow race is the most industrious, as far as all races are concerned, the industriousness of the Chinese nation can rank among the top three in the world, when a country has more than a billion such hard-working people, then the country's potential will be endless.

"Hey, you three, why don't you even wear a helmet, don't you know it's very dangerous here?"

An old man in old-fashioned tortoiseshell glasses shouted loudly as he walked briskly. It wasn't until they got closer that they could see the looks of the three people, Jiao Bai and Al Faruk he didn't know, Bao Xingfa the captain he still knew, in the past half a month of sailing, the two had several exchanges, and they had drunk twice together, which was a good relationship.

"It turned out to be the captain of the charter, why did you come down to the bottom warehouse Xiao Wang, go and get three safety helmets, this side is full of steel bars and oil wire ropes, it is still too dangerous, it can be better to wear a safety helmet."

Jiao Bai and the three of them are not stubborn people, not to mention that others are still thinking about their safety, so the three of them obediently took the helmets and put them on their heads.

Wearing a hard hat, Bao Xingfa introduced the two parties, "Lao Zhou, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Jiao Bai, chairman of Xingchen Group, and also your employer." This was Al Farouk, Prince of Mauria, who had come to visit the ship. Mr. Jiao, Prince Aier, this is the deputy chief engineer of Huaxia Railway Construction Group, Zhou Zhiqiang. ”

"Mr. Jiao, hello, your company wants to build a space center in the Sahara Desert, which is really a big deal. Hello, Your Royal Highness Prince Eyre, it is a privilege to meet you for the first time in Africa. ”

Everyone shook hands with each other, exchanged pleasantries, made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, and hurriedly separated, each busy with their own work. Zhou Zhiqiang needed to continue to direct the workers to load and unload the goods, and after Jiao Bai and Al Farouk visited the Emerald, they began to be busy solving the housing problems of the workers, as well as hiring a large number of local laborers, leasing construction vehicles, and so on. When the pull is imminent, there are a lot of things to do, and if you don't do one less, it's easy to get deflated halfway. Fortunately, Jiao Bai was not busy alone, he found some people with logistics, co-ordination, warehouse management and other related skills from the zombie crystals exchanged for Houling Town, summoned zombies with special summoning skills, and then purchased skins to disguise themselves as humans, forming a professional logistics team to help purchase materials, design routes, and even send a small team to go deep into the Sahara Desert in advance to play the front station.

In the next day, under the repeated urging of Prince El, the government staff in Mombasa finally sent Jiao Bai the business license of Xingchen International Space Company and the land ownership certificate of the hinterland of the Sahara Desert with an area of up to 1,500 square kilometers.

After getting the two documents, Jiao Bai finally felt relieved and knew that his space base was asked. Immediately, Jiao Bai immediately called Zhou Zhiqiang and informed him to take the workers and set off immediately.

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the workers, who had just settled down in the barracks yesterday, had to pack up and set off for the next destination again. In the afternoon of the same day, everything was ready, and with Jiao Bai's order, a huge convoy of more than 500 construction vehicles set off from Mombasa and embarked on a journey of thousands of miles.

The convoy spent the night and overcame many difficulties to reach the edge of the Sahara Desert in two days. Further on, you have to go deep into the desert, the climate is very harsh, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and sandstorms are blown at every turn.

Prince Alfaruk stepped in, hired two guides from the local tribe, and led the convoy to continue to the depths of the desert. Due to the wind and sand, the road that was originally wide and flat has become potholes. By noon, the temperature is as high as 45C, and the surface temperature exceeds 70C. The car air conditioner, which was originally designed for the plain area, completely lost its effect under such high temperatures, and before eleven o'clock, dozens of people had already collapsed from heat stroke.

This information was fed back to Jiao Bai, which gave him a headache. In order to prevent more people from suffering from heat stroke, Jiao Bai had to order the convoy to stop moving forward and find some sand dune shades to take refuge from the heat, and at the same time arrange for the medical team to treat those workers who suffered from heat stroke.

The break lasted four hours, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the temperature in the desert dropped a little and the ground was no longer burning. The convoy continued to set off, and there were no roads ahead, so they could only go directly on the desert under the guidance of their guides. In the desert, the surface sand and gravel are flowing and very soft, and the vehicle will sink into it if it is pressed down. If it's an ordinary sedan city SUV or something, it definitely won't be able to move. Fortunately, the cars in the convoy are either off-road or engineering vehicles, with high horsepower and wide tires, and they can walk on the desert as if they were walking on flat ground. By the time more than 500 cars drove over, a hard gravel road had been rolled out of the back.

Two sprinkler trucks carrying huge water tanks walked at the end of the convoy, spraying the liquid and spreading evenly on the road. The liquid they spray is not water, but a liquid silicon compound that is poured over the gravel and quickly evaporates to form an aerogel that completely immobilizes the gravel. ,,,
