Hu Xun was sleeping soundly with his little wife in his arms, when he was suddenly called. 【Read full text】
"What's the matter?" He woke up immediately - there must be something important if his men dared to break into his bedroom and wake him up.
"No, there are coming in the bay - coming - so many -" the servant said angrily while gesturing, "so many boats!"
"Pirate?!" Hu Xun was shocked and quickly put on his clothes and got up. "Hurry up and hit the gong, all fuckers, get ready for war!" After saying that, he jumped out of bed and yelled at his little wife, who was still in bed, without looking back. Say, "Quickly, change clothes!"
The gong outside was beating loudly and slowly. The village suddenly became noisy. The young men dropped their work and ran towards the office one after another. The person in charge inside had already received the order from Mr. Hu and gave the villagers swords, guns, bows and arrows, as well as more than a dozen single-eyed blunderbuss and three-eyed blunderbuss. Two small cannons were also pushed out and hurriedly pulled to the entrance of the village.
Hu Xun came out of the house in a hurry, holding a big knife in his left hand and a short blazing gun in his right hand - a Western thing given to him by the ship owner, and the match rope had not been lit yet.
The boat owners and stewards who had rested their boats in Anyu Market to wait for the wind were wandering around the streets like headless flies, asking everyone they met to find out what was going on. When they knew that a large group of pirates had arrived, many people's faces turned pale, and some cried loudly. The ships on the pier below the village must not be saved.
As soon as Hu Xun arrived at the west gate, he saw hundreds of people blocking the door, shouting to get out. The villagers tried their best to stop him, but to no avail. All that could be heard in the commotion was that they were the shipowners and sailors, who were about to leave the stronghold and sail the ship to escape. There were only a few people in the village, so they were pushed hard by the red-eyed people. They were gradually pushed to the side, and some people went to take out the door bars. The leader guarding the west gate shouted anxiously - once the door is opened, what if pirates take the opportunity to rush in?
Hu Xun rushed into the crowd, raised his knife, and chopped off the heads of the two people who were taking the door bars.
"How did you all get mad!" Hu Xun swung the blood-stained sword, "There are dozens of boats waiting outside, and you can't even get out! You've lost your life in vain!"
Everyone was shocked by his bloody sword, and no one dared to speak.
"Stay safely in the stockade and listen to my orders!" Hu Xun snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about the cargo, at least you can save your life!"
Hu Xun ordered the villagers to drive everyone back to the hotel. He boarded the gatehouse of the west gate and saw no less than fifty or sixty ships in the bay. Some were heading towards Lingao Village, and some were still flying. Sailing deeper into the bay.
Hu Xun gasped. There was a rare five-masted ship in the fleet. But what surprised him even more was what happened later. He saw several strange-looking ships sailing through the waves in the bay without sails or oars. This kept him there for a few minutes - was that okay? !
But soon something more terrifying happened. Three large two-masted ships sailed in a column towards the shore of Anyou City, and soon arrived near the pier of Anyou City. The hull of the boat is facing the stockade. He clearly saw the square window panels on the side opening, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns. Hu Xun couldn't help but shudder: There are twelve windows on this side. How many cannons are mounted on this ship? .
"Master, would you like to light a cannon?" Youzhaiding said. The few iron cannons and bronze cannons on the wall can only hit the beach at best, and can only be regarded as a big firecracker to embolden their courage.
"Fire your fucking cannon!" Hu Xun no longer cared about pretending to be the Hu family of Shuinan Village. He raised his hand and said, "Fire the cannon, fire the cannon. Do you think your family is going to have a funeral and let off a cannon to hear the sound?"
The leader said: "Master! I don't think they have any intention of building a stronghold. At most, they will rob all the cargo below."
"We can't attack the stronghold without being on guard." Hu Xun said, "Tell everyone to guard carefully and don't fire cannons indiscriminately." As he said that, he quickly climbed down the stronghold wall with his knife. Guan Zhao mobilized all the men and women in the village, and the young men went to the village to help guard. The women and the elderly were ready to roll wood and bricks, and to demolish the houses when necessary.
But Hu Xun was not stupid enough to think that the few hundred people in his entire village could withstand the attack. His only purpose in preparing like this is to tell this group of people that no matter who they are, Anyu City is not a soft persimmon, but a hard walnut, and anyone who wants to eat it will have to bite the bullet.
"Prepare fifty jars of wine, two soup sheep, two hundred taels of silver and one hundred bolts of cloth." Hu Xun told the steward, "Take them all to the east gate and prepare them."
"Master, I'm afraid this little thing is not enough." The master who had been following him whispered.
"I don't know enough." Hu Xun was a little impatient, "Let's explore the path first, and then try our tone."
The landing operation was like a perfect performance, everything went according to schedule.
The first personnel transport ship docked in front of Yulin Fort, and the hatch was opened.
The neatly packed workers climbed onto the deck one by one in order. Then under the guidance of the sailors, we went down the gangway to the trestle.
After many days of ferrying, many people are still faltering after setting foot on the mainland. Once on the trestle, someone fell down after a slight push, and some people fell directly from the trestle into the sea. The surrounding boats rushed over to pick the person up. Those who were too physically exhausted had no time to struggle and were trapped by their luggage. He was dragged to the bottom of the water and was already dead by the time he was fished out. Several people drowned in the initial chaos, but most people managed to get ashore smoothly. Many people collapsed on the ground as soon as they stepped on the beach, gasping for air. They were quickly rushed by the team leader and captains, and one by one they headed to the distribution center set up by the Planning Institute. Those who could not get up no matter how hard they were driven were taken in by the containment team.
Those who could make it to the distribution center were taken to steaming cauldrons. Several people who looked like cooks scooped out a bowl of hot soup from the pot and poured it into their enamel cups. It's an indescribable aroma.
Lin Gonglao took a sip. The taste was a little bitter, a little sweet, and a little herbal. It was not unpleasant to drink. It was probably some kind of decoction, specially designed to relieve seasickness. The decoction was lukewarm and not hot, and was just right in the mouth. Lin Gonglao drank it all in one breath.
The strange thing is that he soon felt that his legs and feet, which were a little weak due to sitting on the boat for too long, had strength. There seemed to be an endless supply of energy in his body, and his spirit was much better. He looked around with a little surprise. The people around him were similar. Those who were particularly seasick and could barely walk to the distribution center felt much better after drinking a bowl of soup.
"It's really evil, what kind of panacea is this?" Lin Gonglao muttered.
What is boiling in the pot is "Energy Supplement Type B" configured by the Ministry of Health. It is a formula that Liu San, Chen Sigen and others settled on after several modifications and experiments. The reason why it has such efficacious effects is that the main ingredient in it is coca.
Coca leaf is a soft drug widely used by the working class in Central and South America. Before the Spanish conquest, the Indians used it to relieve fatigue, thirst and altitude sickness. The so-called coca culture was formed and has continued into the 21st century.
The Time Travel Group originally brought the coca tree with the purpose of focusing on its effects and relatively small side effects. However, many among the elders still have doubts about this kind of thing and require the strictest management system for its use.
But pragmatism finally took over. The Ministry of Health has prepared a large amount of this medicine - almost all the coca leaf reserves that have been harvested have been used - because it takes into account that the land opening project will be extremely difficult. There must be something that can quickly restore the spirit of labor. Along with the "energetic supplements" came large quantities of cigarettes. "Big Production" is open to free supply. As long as you are willing to smoke, each person can provide up to three packs per day.
After drinking the medicine and taking a short rest, someone came to call their group number. Each group of ten had an individual number sewn onto their work clothes and luggage using strips of cloth. For the Planning Institute, workers are not even nameless individuals; they are just components that make up labor groups.
Lin Gonglao's team was sent to help the construction company's installation team build the second trestle.
Two engineering boats equipped with booms and pile drivers were towed over by motor boats. With the help of machinery, a second trestle was quickly built on the pier in front of Lingao Village using the assembled trestle brought from the ship. A motorized electric boat loaded with a pot camel machine lowered its eight anchors next to the trestle and set up thermal power.
According to the plan, the original trestle in Yulinzhai will become the No. 1 trestle, used as a trestle for people to pass, and the new No. 2 trestle will be dedicated to cargo loading and unloading.
The four steel booms were quickly installed. This kind of boom is quite luxurious and uses an all-steel pipe structure and is connected with bolts. The overall weight is light and strong. Using an electric hoist to lift goods can complete the unloading of most heavy-duty goods.
Bundles of rails were unloaded from the ships and road crews began laying the tracks. The light rail will extend from the No. 2 trestle to the newly opened cargo yard outside Yulinbao. Rails cannot be laid on the beach, so Shandaoqian used a prefabricated frame-type roadbed, and sand and gravel were filled into the frame. The rails were bolted right up there. Adopting the segmented construction method, with the two ends moving toward the middle, the several hundred meters of double-track track was completed in less than two hours. The rail car was unloaded from the Great Whale and put into cargo transportation.
Pallets covered with rope nets and tarpaulins were unloaded one by one onto flatbed rail cars. Then push it manually to the goods yard. At this time, a strange big guy was hung from the Great Whale. Under the command of a group of people running back and forth, it landed safely on the rails. A machine that is as tall as a person is mounted on a standard flatbed rail car. This is a small locomotive made by a machinery factory using a mass-produced small steam engine. Because of time constraints, the steam engine and boiler were almost completely exposed on the rail car. The horsepower of this small steam engine is pitiful, but it is currently the only steam engine that can be installed on a flatbed rail car.
Several technicians climbed up and hurriedly added water to the machine to start the fire. After struggling for almost an hour, white steam began to spray out from the exhaust valve. The barometer shows that there is sufficient pressure.
Shan Daoqian looked at his watch and saw that it was three minutes ahead of schedule, which was a good sign. This extremely ugly so-called locomotive was the first locomotive on the railway. It was jointly trial-produced by the Lingao Rolling Stock Factory and the Machinery Factory. It overcame many difficulties and passed the local test in Lingao. Named "Meteor".
"Start!" He waved the green flag in his hand.
Liang Xin stood in the car with a dark face. Behind him were large baskets filled with high-quality Hongji coal. Several indigenous workers were busy around the steam engine.
Seeing the green flag raised, he immediately moved the lever, and the Meteor let out a whimper and started to start with hissing steam. The ten-section flatbed truck hanging behind the front of the car made a clang of steel colliding.
The Meteor walked forward a few meters and suddenly stopped. Now Shan Daoqian was anxious and jumped onto the front of the car with three steps and two steps.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know." Liang Xin was sweating profusely, and his work clothes were soaked black with sweat. He held a big wrench in his hand, "The pressure suddenly dropped, and I didn't see any air leakage..."
"Repair quickly!" Shan Daoqian was very anxious. This time the plan to log in to 6 was detailed down to the minute. If there was a problem in one link, it would be delayed to the next link. Although the plan had a backup plan, no one wanted the problem to come from the area they were responsible for.
"Okay," Liang Xin, a technician in a nuclear industry company, hurriedly started around the steam engine, knocking and tightening it for a while. After a while, the air pressure was restored. The Meteor pulled the carriage and started slowly. For this latest version of the front end, its horsepower is really too small. The simple little train panted and headed towards the goods yard. The speed is as slow as only 5 kilometers.
However, it is mechanized transportation after all! The load of this train is enough for the workers to push hundreds of cars with purple electric tools, not to mention that some large items need to be pushed by people.
Shan Daoqian looked at his watch. Fortunately, the delay was less than two minutes. Sun Xiao, the project's chief coordinator, no longer has to adjust the plan implementation schedule.
This time Deng6 construction adopts a project system, and each project is responsible for a project manager. Planning specialist Sun Xiao is responsible for coordination.
Based on Wen Desi's standardization ideas, Sun Xiao formulated a detailed plan implementation schedule: which labor team should go ashore at what time, and which equipment should be unloaded to the designated yard at what time. All projects have a detailed timetable for start and completion. When the project ends on what day and what time, Sun Xiao's Planning Institute clerks can quickly judge based on the forms and cards what facilities can be activated by what time and how many labor teams and equipment are free and can be used. Maximize the use of personnel and machinery.
The use of a planned schedule also clarifies project priorities and arranges the correct time sequence, so that unimportant projects do not receive priority in the supply of manpower and materials. v! ~!
