Whether he is convinced or not, the facts are irrefutably placed in front of him, and Luo Shengdong has no other way to redeem the growing gap between the two except to lament the injustice of God. Luo Shengdong knew very well that the Haihan people didn't care to let him see these things at all, and even consciously showed them to him, just like the previous time they showed him those sharp guns, because even if he knew the storage of these steam engines and advanced weapons, there was no way for the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to copy them. This sense of powerlessness greatly diluted the joy brought by the previous large amount of silver, and made Luo Shengdong even have the idea of leaving Shengli Port overnight.

Although the trial production of the steam engine was a complete success, the people did not get carried away by it. The prototype still has many problems, such as coarse weight, low heat conversion rate, and poor sealing performance...... Many projects also require improvements in manufacturing processes. And such a large steam engine can only be placed in mines or factories, and wants to be used as propulsion power, which is far from meeting the requirements at present.

At present, it is not a big problem to build this kind of reciprocating double-acting steam engine as a fixed power source, but if you want to use it on a ship, then you must build a more complex multi-expansion steam engine. Due to the extreme restrictions on the replenishment of fresh water at sea, ordinary reciprocating steam engines need to consume a large amount of fresh water when working, and at most can only be used for small boats on inland waterways. Due to the structural advantages of the multi-expansion steam engine, the steam can be re-entered into the boiler for heating through the continuous depressurization process during the work process, which greatly saves the consumption of fresh water, and is very suitable for seagoing vessels.

However, the structure of the multi-expansion steam engine is much more complex than that of the reciprocating type, and there are more than three cylinders alone, which also increases the difficulty of processing and preparation. According to the opinions given by the expert group, with the current almost pure manual processing method, it is not impossible to build a multi-expansion steam engine, but the cost performance is too low, and the entire metallurgical workshop plus a group of fitters with different technical levels may not be able to make a qualified product in a month. The most feasible way is to wait until the mechanical processing equipment is installed in place and the hydropower station is put into operation, and then use the advanced equipment brought to process important parts.

In addition, the introduction of a steam engine does not mean that a multi-expansion steam engine can be built, but how to set up the cabin, adjust the center of gravity of the ship, how to calculate the amount of water and coal used in actual operating conditions, determine the cruising range of the ship, and manufacture the underwater propulsion system.

The Executive Committee also knows that this process of climbing the science and technology tree is not in a hurry, and even if many things know the principle, even if the drawings are in front of them, limited by the current objective conditions, they still cannot be made. Therefore, the opinions of the expert group were approved by the Executive Committee, and the large-scale steam engine manufacturing was slightly postponed for a while, and the next focus was to improve the design scheme and process flow of the steam engine.

After dawn, Luo Shengdong, who had a stomach full of thoughts, left the No. 2 base and returned to Shengli Port, all the trade had been completed yesterday, and the goods that should be loaded on the ship had all been loaded, and he could set off for Wenchang today, where there were still hundreds of taels of silver waiting for him to get. But what made Luo Shengdong a little disappointed was that when he left the port today, there was no leader of the Haihan people who came to the dock to see him off, and there were only a few Ming sailors on the dock to help untie the cable, which was very different from the scene when he left the dock the first two times.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing to get too familiar with these Haihan people?" Luo Shengdong left Shengli Harbor with a hint of melancholy.

In fact, Luo Shengdong had a little misunderstanding, it was not that no one was willing to go to the dock to see him off, but he received news early this morning that something had happened on the side of the farm commune, and several powerful figures in the executive committee rushed over to deal with the emergency, and they didn't care about going to Shengli Port to see Luo Shengdong on a ride.

When it was dark, the Farm Commune sent a distress message to the Executive Committee, saying that there had been a "large-scale bloody clashes" in the Commune, which caused the military and police headquarters to jump, and immediately raised the alarm and gathered a group of elites, and took the newly established security company, and hurried to the Farm Commune. Yan Chujie, who led the team, walked halfway before he remembered that he had forgotten to notify the medical team, and quickly contacted the base to ask Old Morgan to set off with the medical team to catch up.

When the emergency response team arrived at the village of the farm commune, they found that the conflict had ended, and the open space outside the village entrance was littered with a lot of household clothes, hoes, sticks, and sticks, and there were pools of blood that had not yet dried up. Several of the injured were still lying on the ground and were lying weakly. The perpetrators had apparently dispersed, which relieved the already nervous rescue team a little.

Yan Chujie ordered the security team to disperse in all directions to maintain order, let people who know first aid knowledge first deal with the wounded first, and at the same time let people go to the people of the commune management committee. When the management committee sent a distress message in the morning, Yan Chujie had already asked them to ensure their own safety as soon as possible, not to act rashly, and wait for the rescue force to arrive. The Executive Committee didn't want anyone to be a hero when this situation was unclear, and it would be unworthwhile for someone to be accidentally killed or injured by these simple-minded Ming Dynasty peasants.

Several members of the management committee were quickly found, and their residences in the commune were built separately, independent of the entire commune village. After the incident, they also stayed in the house according to the requirements of the executive committee and did not go out until the rescue team arrived.

Gao Huan, who was in charge, was still a little trembling when he spoke at this time, and it seemed that he was frightened by the situation at that time: "I went out in the morning...... I saw two groups of people fighting at the entrance of the village, and they were all ruthless...... I yelled a few times and no one listened to me, so I came back and called you......"

The other person in charge of civil affairs didn't go out from beginning to end, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so he couldn't tell one, two, or three.

All that was left was to count on the member of the military police department in charge of law and order, and the member of the military police department stationed in the farm commune was a dark-skinned Mongolian man named Harugong. He served in the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which was also the only formed cavalry unit in China in later generations. In view of Halugong's special experience, the Military Police Department has already determined that he is the future head of the cavalry of the naturalized civilian army, and one of the reasons why he is assigned to be stationed in the farm commune is also because he has more time dealing with horses, and he can also take care of and domesticate the horses that the farm commune is currently responsible for breeding.

As for the reason for participating in the crossing, Harugong may be regarded as a special category among the crossing. His ancestor is said to be the Mongolian Zarona clan, who had several big officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and later changed his Han surname to Ha in the Ming Dynasty. And Ha Lugong chose to participate in the crossing because he really wanted to come to this era to look for traces of his ancestors. Although hundreds of years have passed since the most glorious period of his family, Harugong thinks that maybe he can meet one of his ancestors or something in this plane, and stage a journey to find his roots across time and space.

Harugong, who had served in the army, was obviously much calmer than his two colleagues, and calmly recounted what happened in the morning: "...... I heard Gao Huan come back and shout that there was a fight outside, so I went out with a gun on my back to take a look, there were a few guys I also recognized, it should be a fight between old and new immigrants...... There were about 24 or 5 people participating. For safety reasons, I didn't stop them, but went to the barn with a gun and guarded it, for fear that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. It wasn't until the gang broke up that I came back from outside. ”

"These guys ......" Yan Chujie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, if it was just an internal struggle between new and old immigrants, it would be relatively simple in nature, I was afraid that there would be an invasion of foreign enemies or an attack on the traversal. As for these migrants, a few casualties are not a big deal.

It's not that Yan Chujie is too ruthless and regards human life like a mustard, but this kind of fighting is really nothing new among the people, for the cattle to gnaw a few handfuls of green seedlings, for the flow of the stream, for the field where the field should be counted, it may cause a village-level fight. Although the commune had a management committee, the management body of only a few people was in charge of a large group of villagers who did not have any concept of the rule of law in their heads, and obviously lacked sufficient deterrent power to even dare to come forward to dissuade them even if a fight broke out. After all, the strength of the Military Police Department is limited, and the newly trained security companies are basically located in areas where public security problems frequently occur outside Shengli Port and Base No. 2, and because there are a series of rules and regulations in the commune to restrict the members, it is still a relatively stable place for social order, so the military police department has not been able to deploy a strong organization in the commune.

Since this kind of thing has happened now, it is impossible for the military police department to turn a blind eye, and if it is not dealt with strictly, then maybe the military police department will leave with the front foot, and the commune will start fighting again. At this time, the medical team led by the elder Morgan finally arrived at the farm commune and began to treat the wounded. Soon the medical team counted the injuries caused by the mass brawl: two people died, and five were seriously injured, two of whom may have been disabled. No minor injuries were found at the scene because the guys had probably run home and hid. But now if you want to hide, you can't hide, Yan Chujie has already brought people and horses to start investigating one by one, and the guy with injuries on his body doesn't need to be interrogated at all, just arrest him first.
