Regarding Yuan Ruoxiu's request, Tao Donglai agreed to it very happily, but it was not so simple to implement. After all, this is Sanya in 1627, and no one can guarantee absolute safety as long as you leave the base, and Tao Donglai also wants to take this opportunity to let the people from the military police department take a good look at the terrain near the small fishing village. It is worth mentioning that this large mountain range between the original urban area of Sanya and Shengli Port and Tianduhe River has also been renamed "Shengli Ridge" by the Executive Committee. The small fishing village is located at the southern end of the Shengli Mountains, and the geographical location is very critical, if there is a land offensive from the direction of Yacheng in the future, it will definitely pass through the location of the small fishing village. Last time, when Yan Chujie led the team to investigate, although he arrested the father and son surnamed Yu, the investigation effect was very little, if there was help from the local leading party, it must be different.

In addition to the personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Military Police Department, of course, the team was accompanied by translators, and the members of the communication team also had to accompany them to test the signal coverage and blind spots of the existing radio stations and PHS systems. In the field of operations exceeding a certain number of people, according to the regulations of the Executive Committee, it is necessary to have accompanying medical personnel to prevent accidents. In order to coordinate the relationship between various departments in this field operation, the executive committee also sent representatives to participate in the action, and finally it was the history lover Ning Qi who took the initiative to apply for this task, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what the living environment of ordinary people in the late Ming Dynasty was like in this time and space.

As soon as there were many people, coordination was slow, and a group of people from the Military Police Department were sent out by Yan Chujie early in the morning in two groups, and a team marched along the Tiandu River to survey the hydrological conditions in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River with people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Energy, and to prepare for the subsequent hydropower construction. On the other hand, Yan Chujie personally led the team to Yulinjiao, which juts out of the harbor into the South China Sea, and he planned to find a suitable place to set up an observation post on the mountains of Yulinjiao in the future to monitor and warn of threats that may come from the sea.

As a result, the departure time of the joint action team had to be postponed until after lunch, and Yu Xiaobao and his friends were also fortunate to taste the first big meal of the cooking team after the crossing. This exotic cuisine, which uses a variety of spices, not only gave the indigenous fishermen the honor of opening foreign meat for the first time in their lives, but also won unanimous praise from the travelers. At the forum that night, someone took the lead in setting up a support club for Fan Wei, the chief chef of the cooking class, and even claimed to support Chef Fan to join the executive committee in the election a year later.

After lunch, the "Lightning" went to Yulinjiao to pick up a group of people led by Yan Chujie, and considering that the environment was familiar with Cheng Dù, Yan Chujie was still in charge of the defense work of the joint operation group. At 1 p.m., the "Lightning" carried the Joint Action Team and the local road leader to Xiaobao to the west side of the harbor, which saved at least half the time they took to make a large detour by land. In the joint group, there are 10 people from the military and police department, three from the agriculture department, one from the communications group, one from the shipping department, one translator, and one from the medical team, plus Ningqi for a total of 18 people.

He must personally confirm whether the quick-drying cement solidification process for pouring the ring beam foundation has met the construction requirements, and if he is in a hurry, he can build at least two to three hundred square meters of prefabricated houses before the sun goes down today, and he can arrange women and children and older people to go in at night, and there is no need to sleep in tents.

In addition, in the afternoon, a set of unfired brick making machine equipment purchased by the Ministry of Construction will be unloaded from the "New World", and the Ministry of Industry must do its best to install and debug it, and strive to put it into production as soon as possible. This set of equipment can use fly ash, cinder, slag and even natural sand as the main raw materials, do not need high temperature calcination but use high-pressure pressing to form bricks, and the speed of bricks is much faster than the traditional brick-making method, which is simply a golden finger for crossing the building materials gap that will inevitably be faced in the early stage. But the only drawback is that this thing has to run on electricity, and now the only thing that can provide high-power power generation is the marine generator set on the "New World", which is a real oil tiger. Therefore, the plan of the Ministry of Industry is to try to find out the water situation in the upper reaches of the Tianduhe River, and strive to start building small hydropower plants in the pre-planned locations, and then gradually build the upper reaches of the Tianduhe River into a future industrial base.

It didn't take long for the Lightning to sail from the temporary docks of Victory Harbor to the fishing village on the west side of the harbor, and in fact, if you were to observe, you could see a small wooden pier peeking out of the mangrove forest on the shore from the cockpit of the New World. The "Lightning" cautiously leaned over to the edge of the trestle, and then joined the group to fish ashore. Finally, Johnson, the bearded doctor, also went down to the dock with a big bag on his back: "I'm a doctor, I'll go with you, maybe there will be a patient there." ”

Johnson took the initiative to ask Ying, Ning Qi and Yan Chujie naturally would not object, although there was originally a medical staff in the team, but the reason why this guy was assigned to the medical team was because he worked in a chain pharmacy before the crossing, and in terms of professional level, it was definitely not comparable to Johnson, a regular doctor with a medical license. Besides, Johnson himself is a supernumerary member of the Military Police Department, and his familiarity with firearms is probably better than that of most people in the Military Police Department. The ten people in the military police department, except for Yan Chujie, were all carrying 56 and a half, while Johnson was carrying an HK416 on his body and an MK23 pistol in his leg. Out of prudence, Ning Qi also applied for an MK23 on the ship just now, as for how to open and close the insurance, aim and shoot, or learn from Johnson, the role of psychological comfort is probably far greater than the actual combat significance.

Taking a dozen guns to reconnoiter a fishing village is not a matter of killing chickens with knives, but the Executive Committee has long formulated various codes of conduct, especially the operation of going to an unknown area to conduct reconnaissance, and has prepared a variety of plans. There are clear regulations on the configuration of team members, travel mode, contact methods, weapon allocation, etc., which are orderly first and then chaotic. In addition, one of the things that the Executive Committee particularly emphasized was to "despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically", even if the opponent may only be the guards, the Lebanese or the peasants, it is necessary to absolutely guarantee the complete suppression by force, and any loss of manpower will be an unacceptable heavy loss for the crossing people.

For example, many members of the joint action group regarded the investigation as an outdoor activity to "observe and experience the life of fishermen in the Ming Dynasty." After going ashore, there was no formation to speak of, and they talked and laughed in the direction of the inland fishing village.

There were two small fishing boats on the beach, but the people from the shipping department thought they were of little value. The four-meter-long fishing boat was too small to be manufactured with any technical content, so the boat was only filmed with a camera for information. A few old fishing nets were hung on a stand next to the fishing boat, and everyone was able to really see the fishing nets that the ancestors used to weave with hemp fibre and rags, and it was not easy to use this kind of net to go down to the sea to fish.

The fishing village is not far from the coast, and after passing through the mangrove forest offshore, you can actually see a few thatched huts peeking out of the woods. The living conditions of these fishermen are very difficult in the eyes of modern people, because there is no building materials such as brick kilns and tile kilns nearby, so when they build houses, they can only cut wood for walls, thatch for roofs, and can use yellow mud and straw to paste walls or stone walls, which can be regarded as relatively good conditions in the village. None of the families in the village fed poultry or livestock, and even the entire fishing village did not have a single guard dog, which shows that the fishermen here are living in distress. Yu Xiaobao also took the team to visit his house, there was no iron pot at home, and he relied on two dilapidated clay pots to cook and cook, and the most valuable thing was probably the two crockpot pots of grain placed under the ** board, and nearly half of them were brought from the crossing yesterday. Everyone felt miserable when they saw it, and Ning Qi even thought that the extremely poor households that the school had seen by organizing teachers to go to poor villages to give love were much better than Yu Xiaobao's family.

Ning Qi noticed that there still seemed to be no movement in the fishing village, so he asked the interpreter to ask Yu Xiaobao. Yu Xiaobao's explanation is that the villagers were afraid of being robbed by pirates before, and it is estimated that they will not dare to come back from the mountains one after another until the group of people who have gone to trade today. This answer was a bit of a disappointment for Ning Qi, who had hoped to collect another batch of laborers from the fishing village, but now it seemed that the timetable would have to be postponed by at least a day or two.

At this time, Yuan Ruoxiu made a request to take a look at the land reclaimed by the villagers, and no one would object to this planned arrangement, so the team walked outside the village under the leadership of Xiaobao.

The so-called reclaimed land is actually a rice field where the villagers cut down a forest and burned it, and then introduced the water of the mountain spring stream, the size is only about 20 acres, and there are several vegetable fields planted in the middle. Yuan Ruoxiu noticed that these paddy fields have not been cultivated intensively, and the growth of seedlings can probably only be described as "pitiful". In addition, Yuan Ruoxiu also noticed that there are no cash crops cultivated here, and it is reasonable to think that the fishermen here still have zài problems even filling their stomachs, let alone using arable land to grow some non-food crops.

Yuan Ruoxiu and his two subordinates began to sample water, soil and grain crops, and the people in the communication group also began to take out communication equipment for debugging. The others sat on the ground around them, smoking and drinking water to rest.

Ning Qi took out PHS and was about to make a call back to the headquarters to report the situation, but before he dialed the number, he heard Zhang Guang of the communication group say: "The Xiaoling communication signal in this place is not good, it is estimated that the signal transmission power on the command site is not large enough, you wait for me to climb the tree and give it a try." ”

Before this Zhang Guang crossed, he was a field worker in a small city in the north as a network communication, and he was specially responsible for equipment maintenance, and this kind of professional talent was naturally pulled into the Ministry of Information Industry by Menghe, and then assigned to the communications group as Wu Zhuo's deputy. When Tao Dong came to assign the task today, Zhang Guang also took the initiative to ask for help, and this kind of field signal detection work was simply familiar to him.

Zhang Guang probably climbed the base station tower before, hugged a tree and rubbed it a few times before going up, and then found a thick branch to stand firm, and then lifted the signal detector in his hand.

Ning Qi put his hand on his forehead, looked up at Zhang Guang, who was standing on a five- or six-meter-high branch, and said, "Be careful, don't fall!"

Zhang Guang grinned and said, "Don't worry, I've climbed the tower for seven or eight years and I've never fallen......"

Before Zhang Guang's words fell, there was a sudden swishing sound in the air, and then Zhang Guang was heard screaming and falling from the tree!
