Chapter 61: New Holland
Twenty Kunpeng cranes hang high above the earth, announcing the dawn of a new era to mankind.
Under the deterrence of this epoch-making weapon, the situation in the main universe No. 1 administrative area fell silent, as calm as the sea before a storm.
————————————————
New Netherland, April 1, 1669.
Xiong vigorously stepped through the space door, facing this new world, intoxicated and took a deep breath, the long-lost fragrance of the earth made Xiong vigorously let out a burst of hearty laughter.
Liu Jie pushed Xiong vigorously dissatisfied, "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Get in the way! ”
Xiong Dali touched the back of his head embarrassedly and smirked twice, and walked quickly to the registration point on the side.
Li Feichong nodded at the two of them and said, "I've asked, the simple dormitory has been built for us, let's go, your brother is still waiting for us." ”
New Netherland is rich in mineral resources, oil and gas, and has proven mineral reserves of economic exploitability: about 3.1 billion tons of bauxite, 15.3 billion tons of iron ore, 511 billion tons of bituminous coal, 411 billion tons of lignite, 17.2 million tons of lead, 9 million tons of nickel, 40,600 tons of silver, 18,000 tons of tantalum, 34 million tons of zinc, 610,000 tons of uranium and 4,404 tons of gold.
Fang Jianguo sat in the humble conference room, with a happy smile on his always serious face, "Commander Chen of Dragon Shadow has already told me, I think the plan he proposed is very good, you can take a look at it first." ”
"Straight into the age of nuclear fusion?" One of the generals scratched his head, "Didn't I hear this thing is quite difficult?" ”
"No, I've already been to the field to see it, and the relevant technology is very mature, and the large nuclear fusion reactors in the two administrative districts of No. 1 and No. 2 are operating well." The scientist offered reassurance.
"Directly solve the problem of energy, and with the support of the Dragon Shadow Headquarters, directly prepare for stepping into space." Fang Jianguo waited for a while to see that no one raised objections before continuing, "In this way, the first priority buildings to be solved are residential houses and schools, so that all school-age children can return to school as soon as possible." ”
After the meeting ended, the scientist stayed behind and asked Fang Jianguo, "Chief, don't we want our original home?" ”
"The military-industrial system is destroyed, what are the thousands of monsters to clean up? This new earth is the rear that Dragon Shadow has allocated to us to rebuild the industrial system and rearm it. Fang Jianguo glared at him as he spoke, "As for the hometown, it should be ours, and no one can take it away." ”
A native carefully hid in the woods with a spear, and watched as one tall building after another towered over the ground like a miracle, prostrate in awe.
The life detection system installed on the tower clearly fed back this scene to the command center.
Liu Jie sat in front of the screen and looked at the holographic model displayed, and said to the girl next to her, "Look at this person again." ”
The girl said indifferently, "It doesn't matter what they do, since the start of the big construction, there have been natives who come to make a pilgrimage every day." ”
Not only did these natives make pilgrimages, but they also brought with them vast quantities of gold products and fruits, which they knew the 'gods' loved.
I really like it, the women love these beautiful gold products, and they are happy with the variety of fruits with unique flavors, and the men are very open-minded, the spaceship has been included in the production plan, and gold is no longer a symbol of wealth, and pragmatic men are not interested in these things.
Hainm Janes looked at the distant land, waved his fists excitedly, and gave a loud order, "New Holland has arrived!" Guys, get ready to go ashore! ”
For nearly half a century, since Haynm's grandfather, William Janes, discovered the rich land of New Netherland, this land of wonder and abundance has been a haven for the Janes family to acquire wealth.
"The sea is full of miracles, and only the brave can be favored by God." Haym waved at the somewhat nervous sailors, "For the gold!" ”
"For gold!" The sailors couldn't wait to jump into the boat and row hard towards the shore.
These sailors are the descendants of William Janes's crew, and the wise old William knows that in the vast sea, there is nothing more valuable than loyalty.
For more than half a century since the discovery of New Netherland, the Janes family have followed their ancestral teachings and shared the wealth of New Netherland with these crews, thus earning their allegiance that they will never betray.
Facing the salty and wet sea breeze, Haiem stepped on the soft sand, took out his compass to discern the direction a little, and led everyone into the forest behind the beach.
The sailors surrounded Haym in the middle, carefully guarding the surroundings.
This rich New Netherland is not only rich in wealth, but also in man-eating beasts.
From noon to sunset, Hayam pointed to the faint light of the fire in the distance, "There! We're here! ”
When William went ashore to explore the New World, he inadvertently rescued several natives who had been attacked by wild beasts, and every time William came to New Netherland, he would bring some gifts, thanks to his efforts.
The Janes family has won the sweetest reward, an open-pit gold mine with abundant reserves!
For more than half a century, the Janes family had maintained a friendship between the two sides, and Haym brought gifts to the tribal chief, a crate of sharp knives, a large barrel of fine rum, and a volume of medical parchment codex.
The guarded tribal natives looked at the group that came out of the darkness, smiles on their faces, and said welcome in stumbling English.
"What about your chief?" Haynem asked in a fluent indigenous language.
"Recently, many tribes have been circulating rumors of the gods coming into the world, and the leader has taken people there." The strongest native replied.
"Gods?" Hairem was stunned when he heard this, "Is there really a god?" ”
"Yes!" The natives were clearly convinced of this, "The severed man offered gold, was taken to the dwelling place of God, and regrown his limbs!" ”
Speaking of this, the native was silent for a while, "There are people who are dying who offer sacred stones, are taken to the dwelling place of the gods, and become young again!" ”
"The leader brings the sacred objects that the tribe has worshiped for generations, hoping to be blessed by the gods!"
Spurred on by this news, even gold lost its former magic, and Haym and the sailors waited for the return of the chieftain, hoping to verify the authenticity of the news with their own eyes.
Finally, the group that had set off in the middle of the afternoon returned.
Perennial weather, the aborigines generally appear to be relatively old, which is a trace carved by nature.
And at this moment, Haienm looked at the young and smooth cheeks of the leader, and the feeling that he had never felt before welled up in his heart, it was jealousy, deep jealousy.
Haynem is forty-one years old, in this seventeenth century, where the average life expectancy is only 26 years, thirty-nine years old is no longer young, fortunately, the rich life has made his body healthy, but the decline in physical fitness still makes him clearly aware of the fact that he is old, and death has shown him a hideous smile.
And the state of the tribal leader at this time made Haym deeply jealous of this old friend.
