"Your Majesty has replied."
The telegraph operator took a stack of paper that had just been translated into text and sent it to He Changxu.
He Changxu took it and took a look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Many old machines from Xinxiang were indeed shipped and sent to the Kingdom of Hawaii.
But it was accompanied by a task force and a regiment of more than 2,000 people drawn from Xinxiang.
Now on the sea, which country does not give Ming a face?
Zhu Zaiming could not figure out why this indigenous country dared to have such a daydream.
For this kind of ethnic group, the answer given by Ming Dynasty is humanitarian destruction.
After the Ming Dynasty acquired the Hawaiian Islands, those old machines could also go to the islands to carry out industrial transformation of the Hawaiian Islands.
However, before that, we still have to try to rescue the Snow Prince.
He Changxu quickly read the telegram and waved to the darkness.
Two men wearing Jinyiwei uniforms entered the command tower and came to He Changxu.
He Changxu handed one of the telegrams to them and said with a smile: "You two, I'll leave you with the next task."
After reading the telegram, Jin Yichuan and Lu Jianxing nodded.
"Don't worry, Governor He. We, the Jinyi Guards, are the best at searching people."
The two returned to the rear cabin of the command tower again.
The only person who can mobilize the Imperial Guards is the emperor, or the emperor grants certain officials certain coordination powers for certain tasks.
He Changxu belonged to the latter. He came to the window and looked at the sail battleship in front of him silently, with a deep expression on his face.
An unknown island.
The 13 people experienced a period of survival on a desert island, and their bodies lost weight.
Li Siming sat on the "Snow Prince" bench and weaved the rope into a net bit by bit.
This is a very time-consuming project.
The coconut palms and berry bushes have been cleared away, and a few yams have been transplanted next to the shelter.
At this time, the only source of heat that everyone can obtain is the sea.
At first, everyone could only take advantage of the high and low tides to pick up some small fish no bigger than a finger, as well as some small crabs and shellfish in the coral reef shoals.
But these seafood products have very little meat on them.
Whether grilled or boiled, without the addition of seasonings, it can only be said to be barely edible.
If you want to eat well, catching big fish is the best choice.
Li Siming calculated that the seafood provided by the coral reef beach can ensure that everyone will not starve to death.
At the same time, we still have an important project to solve, which is salt production.
Li Siming looked up at the sun, straightened the straw hat on his head, put down the less than half-completed fishing net, and headed to the salt drying field on the beach.
It is said to be a salt drying field, but it is actually just a few fires and a few metal containers.
Zhu Xianxue poured seawater into a metal container and added a few handfuls of firewood to the fire.
He looked at the gradually boiling sea water and couldn't help but stroke his chin with a short and thick beard.
There are many impurities in seawater. If you just boil the water and eat it as table salt, it can poison many people.
Therefore, Zhu Xianxue came up with the method of gradual sedimentation and re-sedimentation.
According to the difference in quality and solubility of different salt substances, the sedimentation of heavier substances is used to separate them one by one.
First boil the sea water until it becomes white and turbid.
Afterwards, Zhu Xianxue took off the metal container and set it aside, waiting for the first batch of substances to settle to the bottom of the container.
Then, transfer the upper liquid to another container and continue to settle.
Repeat this many times, and finally get a high concentration of salt water.
These high-concentration saltwaters are then crystallized to produce edible salt particles.
In later generations, this was the most important step in the classic seawater extraction of fine salt.
"Your Highness Prince Snow, is this salt really edible?"
Li Siming saw a layer of white and slightly gray crystal structure in the last container.
"Haha, you'll know if you can eat it or not, just try it."
Zhu Xianxue laughed, pinched a few grains of salt and brought it to his eyes to take a closer look.
Li Siming was quick and immediately took out a piece from the container and put it into his mouth. Then his eyes widened, revealing a mask of pain.
"Purely salty, too salty."
Seeing that the precipitation method was successful, Zhu Xianxue smiled broadly.
"Looks like we can have some serious fish soup tonight!"
At this time, in the shelter, the communications soldier sat in front of the radio, turning it on on time at noon every day.
When he put on the headphones and adjusted the frequency, his face showed ecstasy after a brief freeze.
Daming's search and rescue fleet entered the radio's radiation range!
After the communications soldier briefly reported that everyone was safe, he quickly took off his earphones and ran out.
…
"How do I say, I got in touch?"
On the coastal defense ship, He Changxu had just received the good news from the telegraph room and came to a telegraph operator like flying.
"Contact was made and the telegram said they were all fine."
"That's good, that's good."
He Changxu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of something again.
If Prince Snow and others were really caught, how could they still have access to the telegram?
Even if these natives didn't know what a telegraph machine was, as long as it was a metal product, they would not be kind enough to return it to the captives.
Could it be...a fraud...?
He Changxu frowned and asked the communication soldier: "Can we still contact him now to ask about the location of His Highness Prince Xue and whether he has really been arrested."
"After we received the first signal, we haven't received the second signal yet... No, there is a new message!"
The signal soldier pressed the earphone and immediately used a pencil to draw a long series of dots and horizontal symbols on the paper.
Every time a piece of paper is filled, the translator on the side begins to translate "Jin Ping Mei".
Soon, a new telegram was displayed in front of He Changxu.
At this moment, He Changxu became angry.
Prince Snow and others were not caught, but were playing desert island survival on an unknown desert island.
"Wow, wow, these aboriginal people are addicted to food and have many scheming ideas."
He Changxu paced back and forth and asked, "Are we still within the communication range with the communication ship behind us?"
"The link is currently open."
"Okay, send a report to Jinling immediately."
If Prince Xue is really captured, according to the ideas of Zhu Zaiming and the ministers, Jin Yiwei must be sent to rescue him first.
Then on a sunny afternoon, the entire Kingdom of Hawaii was sent to hell.
However, now that the Snow Prince is surviving on a desert island, the so-called negotiation has become a naked deception.
The seriousness of the matter has risen to another level.
This requires Zhu Zaiming and the ministers to make the final decision.
Jinling, Huagai Hall.
As soon as Zhu Zaiming lay down, he was called up by the guards and came to Huagai Hall.
Although electric lights are installed in the Huagai Hall, the entire hall is brightly lit.
But it can still make people feel a bone-chilling chill.
Zhu Zaiming and the ministers looked at the telegrams in their hands and said nothing.
Dong Zhiwei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, the only people in He Changxu's ship who know about this matter are transferred to Jinling after the incident is over. It can be regarded as a promotion."
"As for the Kingdom of Hawaii..."
"In our Ming Dynasty, only the Junggar region has not yet been recovered. Labor is needed everywhere to open mountains and build roads. Weichen feels that the Kingdom of Hawaii can do this job."
