"Since it's so useful, let's collect more and go back. [No pop-up novel website]" Huang Zhao is a senior outdoor activist and has a deep understanding of the effects of these Chinese patent medicines, so he immediately became interested.
Lingao has an obvious dry and rainy season, and the summer is humid and hot. There is a huge demand for this kind of proprietary Chinese medicine. The Ministry of Health has long issued a notice requiring the remote exploration team to pay attention to collecting specimens of various herbal medicines during exploration.
"No, it won't mature until April." Bai Guoshi looked at the specimen in his hand, wrapped it carefully, took out a map, compass and ruler, and marked the location on the map.
"Collect samples first, and then harvest the seeds when they are mature to build a plantation. Puzzle seeds are very valuable and are the earliest commercially grown cash crop in Hainan."
"You know a lot." Yellow Claw admired him.
"They are all from the history of China's tropical crops. When I took this course, I thought it was useless. I didn't expect it to be useful now." Bai Guoshi said with emotion.
"Haha, people with a professional background are different from ordinary people like us. They are very professional!"
"What the hell, I only know a little bit about it." Bai Guoshi is a newly graduated college student after all, and he is very thin-skinned.
The team delayed for a while and continued to move forward. After less than ten minutes, the team stopped again.
"Pause!" This time it was Cui Yunhong who was in the middle of the team.
"What did you find?" Ye Mengyan became impatient. If he kept going like this, how long would he be able to return to the base?
"Zhao Xue is lame." Cui Yunhong's report lacked the anxious tone of a man when a woman, especially a young woman, was in trouble. It was no wonder: he was not interested in women.
When Bai Guoshi heard this, he didn't care about the specimen, threw it into Huang Zhao's hand, and ran towards the central defender with all his equipment.
Their marching formation adopts a 2-3-2 formation: two vanguards, three center defenders, and two rearguards. They are 200 to 300 meters apart and communicate with each other using walkie-talkies.
"Safety first!" Seeing the young man plunge into the mist, he quickly shouted - this is more than 200 meters away from the team's center back position.
In addition to professionals like them, there is also an IT person in this team - Zhao Xue. She was brought along simply because she claims to be a senior outdoor enthusiast, and her computer expertise will also be helpful to Cui Yunhong's exploration work - ―The key is that Liu Zheng can't stand the beautiful nudges, and Bai Guoshi also uncharacteristically firmly supports bringing Zhao Xue.
Due to the lack of local guides and the changes in the terrain over the past 400 years, the terrain has changed a lot, so the maps they brought had a lot of details that needed to be corrected. Although the remote exploration team has gone out for reconnaissance more than once in the past, they have never gone far. It only goes west through the Gaoshan Ridge area and reaches the border of Danzhou, goes south to the outskirts of Lidong, and goes east into Chengmai County.
This entry into Danzhou was the first time that the remote exploration team went deep into a place outside Lingao County. The unfamiliarity of the roads and the high level of mental stress made the entire exploration extremely physically demanding. Four days after leaving, everyone has been worried that the IT person has finally shown his true colors - Zhao Xue was very aggressive in the first two days. When he was serving as a vanguard, he often pulled down the central defender as close as one kilometer regardless of the distance. He also ran around during meals and breaks. She had to have someone take photos of her even when she was climbing up and down the beautiful scenery - but after four days she had to move to the center back position, and her steps slowed down - there is a big difference between long-term field work and short-term fun. Not to mention an amateur, even a veteran like Huang Zhao with 7 years of outdoor experience found this task not easy. Cui Yunhong was born in geological prospecting, so this level of strength was a piece of cake for him. Because of his major, Bai Guoshi had a lot of experience in outdoor activities, and he had been exercising for several years, so he could barely bear it. Seeing Zhao Xue start to falter, Bai Guoshi naturally wanted to ask for help, but she just said it was okay.
When I ran closer and took a look, I saw that Zhao Xue's equipment was all unloaded on the ground, and his trouser legs were rolled up high, revealing a pair of snow-white calves - worthy of being called snow. But what really made the scene worse was that Liu Zheng, a bearded man, was playing with his small, white knees with his big, rough hands. In fact, Zhao Xue was 17cm tall, and his knees were definitely not small.
"Both knees are filled with fluid." Liu Zheng fiddled and squeezed for a while before coming to a conclusion.
"Filling?" Bai Guoshi wanted to pretend to touch Zhao's knee, but he didn't have the courage.
"It should be," Liu Zheng glanced at him and smiled slyly behind his back, "You can touch it and see, I'm not sure."
"The good nationalist's face actually turned red - there is nothing more embarrassing than having someone see through your little thoughts.
I pretended to rub it with my fingers, but because I was nervous, I felt it was soft, slippery, and a little elastic. He quickly said: "It should be that the knee is filled with fluid."
"Well, this is a typical sports injury caused by lack of physical strength." Liu Zheng came to the conclusion that he should have said long ago.
"It doesn't matter, I can still walk!" Zhao Xue said anxiously. She looked determined and refused to admit defeat, and she did not expect Bai Guoshi's dirty thoughts at all.
"It's not a serious injury, but it's not suitable for overexertion." Liu Zheng thought for a moment, "Let's take a rest first."
"It doesn't matter to me, you can keep walking!"
"Don't be too strong." Huang Zhao said in a good way, "It's better to rest before walking. Unfortunately, there is no ice pack. A cold compress may be effective."
Ye Mengyan came back from the vanguard position panting, and immediately said:
"You are just looking for trouble! When you go on a mission, you have to find a woman to make up for it! You are filming a military TV series!"
"Xiaoye, it's not good for you to say that. Women can hold up half the sky." Liu Zheng laughed.
"Pay attention to unity, unity!" Huang Zhao hurriedly came to persuade, "Men and women are physiologically different and cannot be generalized. It is indeed not easy for one person to walk so many roads - do they also contribute to the collective? Look, everyone is crying Already——"
Everyone turned around, and sure enough, Zhao Xue's face was lying on her knees, and her shoulders were twitching.
"Hmph, when you are in full swing, you show your teeth and claws, but when you are no longer strong, you will do this -" Ye Mengyan refused to give up.
"Complaining won't solve the problem." Liu Zheng saw Bai Guoshi's expression was wrong, and thought not to make any unnecessary noise, so he quickly put on his captain's face, "No matter how much you complain, it's still the same. Let's take a rest first and deal with the injury. Make plans again.”
"Hmph, don't worry about it, you jingoistic pigs!" Zhao Xue suddenly stood up, picked up the equipment on the ground, swung it behind her, and strode forward. Everyone was about to go up to stop her, but within ten meters of walking out, she She stumbled and was half-kneeling on the road again. Bai Guoshi rushed forward to support her. Liu Zheng and others laughed secretly in their hearts.
They were resting on the roadside. After discussion, they decided that if there was no major problem on the way, they would not delay any further and return directly to the camp. Zhao Xue switched from the central defender to the rear guard. The rear guard had two people, Huang Zhao and Bai Guoshi, who were enough to help her return. She is not scheduled to be on duty at night either. After Liu Zheng announced the decision, he quietly poked Bai Guoshi: "Seize the opportunity." Bai Guoshi just wanted to confess that he had a pure relationship with Zhao Xue, but Liu Zheng had already walked away.
Along the way, Liu Zheng asked the leading soldiers to slow down their march and take care of the wounded. In fact, non-professionals such as Huang Zhao and Bai Guoshi are also overwhelmed.
The walkie-talkie rang again, this time from the top soldier Ye Mengyan: "Stop advancing, there is a situation ahead!"
When Liu Zheng cautiously came to Ye Mengyan's side in a low profile, a city unexpectedly appeared under the hillside not far away in the mist that was dissipating in the sun.
Is it really a city? Liu Zheng wiped the lens of the telescope in surprise. According to intelligence, the only city within a hundred miles is Lingao County. Where did this walled city come from? Did they get lost and end up under Danzhou City?
Several people quickly opened the map and looked at it for a long time. This was indeed not Danzhou City. But it’s definitely not Lingao County. After measuring the position and comparing it with the map, they were now in the modern Nanbao Town area.
"Come closer and take a look?" Yellow Claw suggested.
"Okay, Bai Guoshi and Cui Yunhong stay to take care of Zhao Xue. The others are following me." Liu Zheng said, throwing the Remington shotgun in his hand to Bai Guoshi, "Be smart and run away if something goes wrong. We ourselves It will drag you down."
"Understood!" Bai Guoshi was a little nervous. Watching the others slowly groping forward.
The best observation point is at the top of the hillside, where you can have an unobstructed view. But it was getting bright now, and farmers should go out to work. They might meet people on the hillside who came to cut firewood or collect grass. All three of them drew their daggers.
The group of people climbed up the hillside without incident. Hidden below the mountain was the city about a thousand meters away. This was the closest they could get to the city. Further ahead is the open land, which has been transformed into paddy fields, with some residential buildings scattered in the meantime. Someone was driving cattle off the field in the field.
The city looks very small in the telescope - smaller than Lingao County. If it weren't for the tower on the city gate, most travelers would only see it as an earthen village.
"nnd, there are cannons on the tower." Huang Zhao held the telescope and muttered to himself.
Liu Zheng said nothing and continued to search the city with his telescope - this was definitely not a village. Under the telescope, he could see government offices, rows of brick houses, and a very large village in the city. Empty field. No rural village would have these.
"There is a flagpole in front of the government office, with the flag of the Ming Dynasty hanging on it." Huang Zhao reminded Liu Zheng.
"Well, from the looks of it, it's probably the location of some local administrative agency." Liu Zheng was a little surprised, "What exactly is it?"
The city looked very calm through the telescope. There were not many people going in and out of the city gate. They were all farmers in ragged clothes. Standing at the gate was a soldier in ragged clothes, holding a wooden gun.
Ye Mengyan had received complete reconnaissance training. While Liu Zheng and the others were looking at the diorama, he had roughly estimated the number of residents in the city based on the size of the city - less than a thousand. Judging from the number, form and size of the houses in the city, it is likely that this was a military camp: there were barracks, stables, warehouses, and especially a school ground. Although there are only two city gates, both have towers and cannons on the walls.
"I know," Liu Zheng thought about some of the things that were discussed during the Intelligence Committee's joint meeting a few days ago, "This should be Guard City!"
In the cities of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the local government offices, there were also military garrison and field garrison cities. In addition to the Qiongshan County seat, Qiongshan County also built the Haikou Hou Qianhusuo Guard City. In the core area of Lidong: at the foot of the Limu Mountains and on the bank of the Nandu River, the Shuihui Qianhusuo City was also built.
This small city should be a similar guard city. I just don't know which one it is - this will have to be verified by the historical intelligence team.
"Take photos, measure and record the directions." Liu Zheng said with concern, "mark the geological changes on the map so that the troops can attack easily and take more photos."
A little further away, Bai Guoshi and others were waiting boredly. Cui Yunhong suddenly dragged his big bag down the hillside as if he had appeared in a new continent.
Bai Guoshi was startled: "What are you doing?!"
Cui Yunhong shook her hand, indicating not to speak. Bai Guoshi lowered his voice, "What did you find?"
"Kaolin clay.".
"What is kaolin?" Zhao Xue asked.
Cui Yunhong picked up a white stone-like object and struck it a few times with an address hammer.
"Something used to make porcelain." Bai Guoshi explained.
"Oh," Zhao Xue was confused, "but we don't need to make porcelain? I think the lunch box and enamel bowl are enough."
"What is needed," Bai Guoshi said, "sanitary ware, ceramic tiles, etc. can be solved now."
Cui Yunhong shook her head, thinking how to explain the important role of kaolin in industry? Being able to make porcelain is important, but kaolin is an essential whitening agent and filler in the modern paper industry. The value of this present is too great.
The sample he collected was tubular coal series kaolin. Ji Yunhong judged that there should be a coal mine nearby. He remembered that he had seen information that there was a small coal kiln near Nanbao Town in Lingao, which produced lignite of low quality. Kaolin was probably an associated mineral. . At first glance, although it cannot be evaluated by drilling or drilling trenches, the 1u head of kaolin clay shows that it is widely distributed, indicating that the reserves here are valuable. If you look carefully, you might be able to find the coal mine.
Lignite is the mineral coal with the lowest degree of coalification. A low-grade coal between peat and bituminous coal. It has a relatively low calorific value and cannot be used as coke for steelmaking. It can be used as fuel or fertilizer. If it can be exploited, it is also a very valuable resource.
This field exploration was really fruitful. Cui Yunhong was a little excited, so she took out the instruments and notebooks from her backpack and started doing geophysical exploration on the spot.
Bai Guoshi was extremely nervous. He held a Remington and looked around, fearing that a native would suddenly appear from somewhere - he had never killed anyone before, and he didn't want to indulge in meat here! ~!
