Chapter 344: 'Iron Ship'

The contact with the supreme commander of the Mi Army on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' was very smooth, Zhang Lisheng put away the communicator, let out a long sigh, and spent two weeks of relaxed days happily.

On the day after his agreement with Cora, he put on his thick denim suit, and went out of the big bark house where he lived early in the morning, intending to go to the seashore and wait to receive the steamer.

The jungle that used to be separated from the ocean has been cut down and turned into building materials for the new habitat of Tudnan, allowing the pleasant sea breeze to blow directly across Zhang Lisheng's face.

Looking out to the sea, many of the ruined docks and fishing grounds along the coastline have been restored, but new fishing boats have not yet been built.

However, these days the wind is good, and ships from the 'ancestral land' in the south of Tud can sail across the island from the sea to new habitats in about a day, and all fishery production has already begun.

Looking at the bumper harvest and the thriving scene, the young man was in a happy mood, and he stepped lightly on the reef under the rising sun to the largest port that had ever been built by the seaside 'Tudenan', with a shallow smile on his face.

The port was built with the help of Liangwan, which has begun to take shape, and a narrow reef of tens of thousands of square meters along the coastline has been trimmed by the beasts with a big drum-like hammer and shovel like a mirror;

More than a dozen crescent-shaped moorings that can accommodate hundreds of meters of large ships have been built, leading to deep sea water.

Seeing the tribal raiders coming, the hundreds of craftsmen who built Palembang, thousands of indigenous women prostrate on the ground, and even hundreds of busy artisan 'buddies' fell to their knees.

"Dumuru. Zhang Lisheng's gaze swept over the heads buried in the ground, and finally fixed on the only talented young craftsman leader with four feathers on his head in 'Tudenan', "How many berths are available in Jumu Port?"

"Fourteen berths have been made, Raiders. ”

"It's finally enough," Zhang Lisheng nodded with satisfaction, "The iron ships of those 'strangers' will be sent soon, and you will have to imitate them carefully in the future."

Remember, building an iron ship and a wooden ship are two completely different things. ”

"Yes, Raider," Dumuru replied respectfully. But there was a conceited expression on his face. "Rest assured, with the 'Red Mountain Furnace', no matter how great the fine iron is, I will be able to make it. ”

Hearing the words 'Volcanic Furnace', Zhang Lisheng couldn't help but show an expression of admiration. "Dumuru. You are a true genius. The idea of casting with magma is simply superfluous to think of my reminder. ”

"No, Raider. The Red Mountain Furnace will appear because of your greatness, and if it weren't for your support, digging a volcano at the risk of destroying the entire new habitat, the 'Furnace' would not have been born at all.

The King of the Mountains has ruled over this volcano for hundreds of millennia, and 'Camando' has never made a single iron tool out of lava. ”

Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything more, just waved his hand at Du Mulu, signaling him to continue working with the craftsmen, while the young man himself stared in the direction of the island's 'human gathering place' and fell into deep thought.

Time passed slowly, the sun in the sky in a graceful arc gradually westward, the light emitted more and more brilliant, and finally at noon, Zhang Lisheng's waiting had a result, a loud whistle whistle sound, two lines of steam ships the size of beans in the distance, slowly sailed towards the habitat of 'Tudnan'.

"Come, Dumulu, what do you think of those 'stranger' iron ships?" Seeing the steam iron ship appear on the sea, Zhang Lichang breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously clenched his fists, and shouted loudly.

Dumuru, who was working with his head down, not at all disturbed by the sound of the steamer's whistle, heard the call of the tribal raiders, hurried to the young man's side, followed his gaze into the distance, and saw at a glance the twelve iron ships that had become the size of the 'eyeless fish' underground.

After calculating the distance, a shocked expression appeared on his face, "Attacker, those iron ships are much bigger than I imagined, I think the bow and tail of the big ship will probably exceed six hundred steps, and the small ship will also be more than four hundred steps.

Relying on the force of water being heated into steam, it is so great that such a huge thing can be propelled to sail on the sea, it is too much..."

"Don't go 'too' Du Mulu," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile, "When you take apart a steam engine, you will soon feel that this is not worth the fuss at all."

By the way, I would like to remind you again, after meeting the 'stranger' for a while, don't show me a particularly respectful expression again, and don't call me an attacker again. ”

"Yes, Guardian of Lisheng. Du Mulu was stunned for a moment, and changed his name awkwardly, this is exactly where Zhang Lisheng is careful, even if the language between Mi Jun and Tudnan is fundamentally different, he doesn't want to make any mistakes in the details.

Ten minutes later, the steamer approached the new habitat of 'Tudnan' and anchored in the half-built 'Jumu Port' under the guidance of the Turenmu ship.

The steamers were all active naval sergeants of the Mi Army, and because of the simplicity of the steamers and the short distance, there was only one temporary captain and one first mate in each ship, plus two dusty temporary coal fillers in the steam room, a total of four people.

As soon as the ship came to a standstill, the Mi warriors were visibly intimidated by the magnificent harbor built by the natives, and when they disembarked, almost half of them opened their mouths wide, and then their faces changed even more when they saw the strong, huge Ryu beasts and the ugly, ferocious natives riding on the three or four meters tall long-haired spider monsters.

"Non-commissioned officers, please forgive these natives for their rudeness, they actually have no malicious intent," Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the Mi soldiers, Zhang Lisheng was secretly amused in his heart, and strode up to meet them, "Those orangutan-like animals are beasts, which look dangerous, but they are actually very docile mammalian omnivores, of course, they can also be classified as primates, or subprimates...

Oh sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm..."

"I think you must be Mr. Zhang Lisheng," a tall, square-faced lieutenant colonel with the highest rank in the forty-eight Mi Army stretched out his hand to the young man, "I'm Meredith Connie."

The first mate of the destroyer "Black Tuna" of the fleet of the Mi Army stationed on the "Sea Shrimp B1 Island" is ordered by General Cora to deliver these twelve steam ships to you. ”

"Hello Lieutenant Colonel, please allow me to correct that these ships are not for me, but for those natives," Zhang Lisheng smiled, pointing to the Tudinan craftsmen who had rushed to the steamer according to his previous orders, and said: "They look short and weird, and they are very ugly, but they are all good people, but they are a little less patient." ”

"Hell, how did they get up, sailing on a steamer is not such a simple thing, if something happens..."Connie exclaimed in surprise when he was reminded by the young man to find that the deck of the steamship was already full of natives.

"It's okay Lieutenant Colonel, there is already a 'rudder' on these earthymen's wooden boats, and they won't mess around.

Now you're all distinguished guests, don't be so nervous, let's go and enjoy a 'otherworldly' meal first, and then go take a volcanic hot spring bath, and in the afternoon..."

"They have a 'rudder' on their fishing boat," Connie's expression was noticeably more relaxed, "so there's no need to teach them how to steer a boat."

In that case, according to General Kora's orders, we will complete our mission and must now return to the gathering place as soon as possible.

By the way, Mr. Zhang, Your Excellency General hopes that you can also go back with us. ”

"Don't eat lunch?" Zhang Lisheng said, spreading his hands.

"I'm afraid not. ”

"Oh, I don't care, but it's a pity for you, although the food of 'Tudnan' is rough, but it has a unique flavor," Seeing Connie's inflexible expression, Zhang Lisheng shrugged his shoulders and deliberately turned his head and shouted into the distance in a stumbling Hell language: "Bring in forty-nine of the most docile 'giant spiders', and gather a hundred more warriors." ”

"Yes, Guardian of Lisheng. The herald warrior, who had already been instructed, replied in a respectful but not excessively voice, and after a while, he brought a hundred elite warriors riding 'partners', and forty-nine big spiders led by the natives who specialized in raising 'giant spiders', to Zhang Lisheng and a group of soldiers of the United States.

The faces of the 'Giant Spider' Mi Guoren became special again, but the young man said to Connie casually: "Lieutenant Colonel, riding this big spider, we can return to the 'gathering place' as quickly as possible, and there is no bump.

These native warriors will escort us back, which is a sign of respect and gratitude from the leaders of the 'Tudnan' for sending you the iron ship..."

"Mr. Zhang, please sincerely thank the leader of the Tut tribe on our behalf, thank him for his kindness, but when we come, we have a submarine formation to escort us, and when we leave, we can go back by submarine, which is faster and more convenient. ”

"Go back by submarine," Zhang Lisheng paused and smiled, "It seems that General Cora has already arranged everything."

Well, in that case, everything is up to you, lieutenant colonel. ”

Then he turned his head and waved his hand at the natives, and after a while, he turned back to Connie and shrugged his shoulders again, "Let's go, Lieutenant Colonel, where to take the submarine." ”

"It is also difficult for me to judge that after receiving the signal, the submarine will surface at the nearest suitable place to us. Connie said as he pulled out a phone-like device from his pocket and pressed a few buttons.

"As convenient as it sounds, the coastline here is said to be full of natural harbors... Look, what am I talking about, isn't it just a submarine floating up over there? Zhang Lisheng said, striding briskly towards a giant submarine floating on the surface of the sea in the distance.

Looking at his distant back, no one in the new habitat of 'Tudenan' knelt down, but hundreds of thousands of natives lowered their heads as if they felt that the afternoon sun was too dazzling at the same time, until Zhang Lisheng and the group of Mi Guo got into the submarine and disappeared into the sea.
