Episode 48 Changes in Blue Star Island

The UFO that Linda saw turned out to be a two-wing propeller aircraft!

"How could there be a plane here?!Could it be that Grant made it?" Lin Daxin could hardly believe his eyes, but after a little thought, he immediately guessed that in his opinion, the inhabitants of Blue Island could do anything impossible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sure enough, just when he was still a little confused, suddenly there was a burst of intermittent wireless telephone tones received by "Hope" from the earphones: "Linda! Is it you?!Is it you and Hope?!" A burst of earth language came from the radio that Linda was very familiar with, which immediately surprised and delighted him.

"I'm Linda! May I ask you?" replied quickly, staring at the plane in the distance.

"It's great! It's really you! I'm Wright! It's great to see you and the Hope come back safe and sound!"

"Wright?!Is it you?!haha!I really didn't expect it!Is that plane in the sky you are piloting?" Linda exclaimed in surprise when she heard that it was really her companion on Blue Star Island.

"Of course it's our plane! And David is here too! I didn't expect you to finally come back! We'll tell the headquarters the news right away, and let everyone come to greet you!"

Wright, who spoke to Linda, and what he said about David, were the two helicopter pilots on the original "Ark". Originally, the "Ark" had a multi-purpose propeller plane, but soon after they arrived at Blue Star Island, the plane was grounded due to a malfunction and never repaired, which made the Wright and Wright sad for a while.

But what they didn't expect was that these two people actually flew on the plane at this time. Looking up from the sea, Linda noticed that the plane was built in a rather simple way, with the fuselage and wings made of metal and wooden strips, and the roar of the engines was particularly loud. The plane let out a worrying roar in the air, and the Hope, as the excited Wright and the Bag King were desperately waving to Linda below, seemingly having no problem handling the plane.

Feeling the tremor of the plane as it passed overhead, Linda couldn't help but feel emotional. It seems that during his absence, Grant and the others made a lot of things on Blue Star Island. Thinking that he hadn't seen his companions on the island for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and hurriedly drove at full speed, under the guidance of the plane in the air, and galloped away in the direction of Blue Star Island.

A few hours later, he finally made his way through the fog and approached the shore of Blue Star Island, when several huge lights suddenly lit up on the shore, shining directly in front of the "Hope" from a distance, all the way to the bay where the Valley of the Giants was located.

Soon, under the guidance of searchlights, Linda, who was familiar with the road, soon drove the "Hope" back to the long-lost harbor. Linda excitedly observed the scenery in the harbor, as if a wanderer had finally returned to his mother's arms, and felt both intimate and strange to everything in the house.

Linda saw the Ark, which was also anchored in the depths of the harbor, and he noticed that the ship had changed a lot from before he left. Many of the steel plates and parts on the hull have been removed and patched up with various wooden planks in their original places, making them look like patches. And many places are rusty and look tattered. Only a raised platform erected in the middle of the hull connecting the shore wires, which emitted bursts of flashes from time to time, showed a little vitality.

The shore where the "Ark" was parked had long since been blown up with explosives to open a flat and open area. People actually built a dock there, and there were actually several wooden boats docked on it, and before Linda left the island, the Blue Star people did not make wooden boats.

So Linda very conveniently docked the "Hope" to the dock and landed on land. At this time, all the personnel of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, including Grant, were already waiting at the dock to welcome them. Seeing Linda and the "Hope" return safe and sound, everyone immediately cheered.

"Linda, I'm so glad to see you safe!" President Gratt was the first to step forward, holding his hand tightly.

"Me too!President!, although I left for a short time, I am also glad to have returned safely!" Linda said excitedly.

"It's good to come back!" Gratt said with a smile.

Linda waved his hand to his companions around him, and everyone greeted him one after another, and many of them enthusiastically stepped forward and hugged him warmly, and many asked him, "Linda, how was it going out this time?"

"Have you spotted any humans here?"

"Linda, you kid won't find anything, and come back after a circle, right?"

"Lynda......!

The crowd was clamoring and clinging around Linda, desperate to learn more about him. Although Lynda wanted to tell everything in one go, the chaotic scene also made him talk about it for a while.

Seeing this, Grant hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't worry." Linda has just returned from outside the island, and must be very tired, we should let him rest and tidy up first, and then let him slowly talk about his experience of this outing. Now let's go back to our respective posts!"

As soon as Grant's words came out, everyone stopped and stopped asking anything around Linda, which finally made Linda breathe a sigh of relief.

Grant left a few men behind to help Linda remove his luggage from the Hope, Captain Modern sent a few more men aboard the Hope for necessary care and maintenance, and Lynda returned to the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment camp in the Valley of the Giants, accompanied by Grant. Along the way, Grant kept briefing him on the changes in Blue Star Island over the years.

Shortly after Linda left Bluestar Island, an expedition led by Connell discovered an oil well in a valley in the southeast of the island. The outlet of the well is only a dozen meters from the shallowest point above the surface, and the entire reservoir runs from the island to the sea. Grant and others gathered several engineers on board the ship to conduct some research, formulated a plan to exploit the oil well, and after some efforts, finally opened an oil well eight months ago. So people built a simple oil refinery on top of the oil well, which can produce 2 to 3 barrels of crude oil per day. People have refined crude oil to obtain more and more kinds of downstream products, although the quality is very coarse, but it has greatly helped people's production.

With oil, people were able to make more tools. Arden used some of the parts removed from the "Ark" to assemble three diesel engines, and made various materials to build three vehicles that could barely be called automobiles. The three cars were used as tractors, which were used to reclaim farmland, transport timber, oil, minerals and other goods, and also opened several stone roads leading to the Valley of the Giants and the wharves at several mining sites on the island, greatly facilitating people's transportation and travel.

Arden also worked with Schroeder and others to create a large amount of explosives. Because of the abundant raw materials found on the island, the explosives they made were much more powerful than the black gunpowder made by Linda in Xiaoyu Town. People used bombs to open mines, docks, and roads, which greatly saved manpower and time. Schroeder even used the explosives to fill homemade shells to create the island's first shells. However, at this time, the terrible monsters on the island were also hunted down, and his shells were of little use.

In order to explore the world more extensively, three months ago, people used some parts of the "Ark" and homemade tools to build the island's first aircraft, which is the biplane that Linda just saw. Although the plane only had a range of more than 100 kilometers, it greatly expanded people's exploration of Blue Star Island and the surrounding waters, and Wright and Davy, who piloted the plane, even took the risk of flying the plane to the limit, but unfortunately, they still did not find a trace of other land.

There is also Captain Modern, whose "Ark" is miserable because it was used as raw material to dismantle a large number of parts, but he does not complain about it. In addition to being an experienced captain, he is also a naval architect. Although he could not build a new "Ark", he could not build a wooden ship that could sail the seas. So, he organized a group of crews, personally designed and built a sailing ship with a displacement of several tens of tons and several sampan boats, and also installed modified motors on them, these boats were very strong and durable, and soon became an important tool for the crew to go to sea and fish.

In addition, many houses were built, strengthened and enlarged, towers and lighthouses were built, mills were improved, and various production tools and facilities were improved. In the hands of these hard-working and intelligent people, the entire Blue Star Island has been transformed into a modern small town, comfortable, serene, thriving, and full of hope.

Hearing Grant's description, Linda was amazed at the changes in Blue Star Island over the past year, and admired the ingenuity of Grant and his companions even more. In fact, the biggest credit for the fact that Blue Star Island has become what it is today is due to the doctors and engineers such as Grant, Connell and Arden, because of their knowledge and wisdom, they have unreservedly passed on all kinds of knowledge and skills they have learned on the earth to everyone and applied them to the production and life of the autonomous group. Of course, this is indispensable to the various materials downloaded by Danny and others on the computer in advance, as well as the rich experience and dexterous hands of other scientific and technological staff and crew members. The combination of all these has created the changes of today's Blue Star Island. And Grant and others have become more and more lofty and prestigious in the hearts of everyone.

After Grant took Linda back to the base in the Valley of the Giants, he didn't let him do anything right away, but let him rest well and recuperate. Lynda didn't refuse Grant's kindness either, and when he returned to his room, he lay down on the soft bed and slept comfortably. After more than three months at sea, he can finally get a good night's sleep.
