"That's the best thing we can do to mediate fights."
The first mate looked at the musket subconsciously and nodded silently.
Until there is a better solution, strong force can indeed calm everyone down.
Three people work against each other.
Liu Zheng stared at the chief of the Swadiko tribe and the chief of the Dikaka tribe.
"You are all on an island, and everything on this island should be yours."
The first mate was translating beside him.
The chief of the Swadika tribe stood up emotionally and said: "..."
The first mate translated to Liu Zheng: "He said that Panacea was born from their land and should belong to them."
The chief of the Dikaka tribe complained endlessly: "..."
"Chief Dikaka said that the land where God gave the panacea was snatched from their hands by the Swadika tribe..."
The tribes on both sides were arguing endlessly about this matter and became more and more agitated.
The first mate held the musket nervously, fearing that the two tribesmen would fight and cause harm to Chiyu.
Liu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt the first officer's words and fired a shot into the sky.
Snapped!
The sound in the audience suddenly stopped, and the chiefs of the two tribes looked at the muskets Liu Zheng placed in front of them.
Their eyes were full of fear.
Both of them knew what this thing was and how powerful it was.
The man sitting next to him had many of these things in his hands.
It was because the chief of the Swadika tribe knew that these outsiders had muskets and knew that they were in trouble that he came up with the idea of asking them for help.
What they held was enough to help the Swadika tribe occupy the island.
Completely occupy the panacea.
The two groups calmed down instantly, and Chief Swadika and Chief Dikaka returned to the negotiating table.
Liu Zheng added: "I'm not interested in the conflicts between you."
He looked at Chief Dikaka and said in a deep voice: "Chief, I believe my men should have shown you how powerful we are."
"Today, Chief Swadeka wanted me to help them, and they offered me a generous reward."
"Out of kindness, I chose to see you, just to let your tribe put aside these fights."
"If you don't agree." Liu Zheng moved the gun in front of him and pointed it at the chief of the Dikaka tribe.
Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, fear arose in the heart of the chief of the Dikaka tribe.
He could not forget that another person holding such a thing went to their tribe to show them the power of this thing.
It can penetrate anything, and he is no exception.
"Survival or destruction, you choose one." Liu Zheng smiled.
The first mate translated it word for word, and the chief of the Dikaka tribe felt a chill in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The chief of the Dikaka tribe chose to compromise.
But several conditions were also put forward.
The first mate translated: "The Dikaka tribe can live in harmony with the Swadiko tribe, but the panacea must come from their tribe."
After receiving such an answer, Liu Zheng nodded and turned around. He looked at the chief of the Swadik tribe and smiled: "I have convinced the chief of the Dikaka tribe, but he has put forward a condition. The panacea must have both of you. Fair distribution among tribes."
Liu Zheng added: "This is a reasonable condition, Chief Swadik, you should understand."
Chief Swadik pondered for a while and saw the muzzle of the musket in Liu Zheng's hand changing its position.
He nodded and said: "Wow..."
The first mate translates: "Why not?"
Liu Zheng showed a smile.
The Dikaka tribe and the Swadiko tribe reached a reconciliation. Under the witness of Liu Zheng, the two tribes even held a marriage in order to maintain friendship.
As an outsider, Liu Zheng sent blessings to the newlyweds and became a witness to the wedding.
In order to express that Liu Zheng had brought peace to their two tribes, Chief Swadiko and Chief Dikaka gave Liu Zheng a panacea.
Only then did Liu Zheng know what the panacea for the competition between the two tribes was.
He looked at the dark brown elixir, which was thick and had an unpleasant smell.
These indigenous people call this thing a panacea because it can make fire, build houses, and even be used to make medicine.
That's why they call this thing a panacea.
But when Liu Zheng saw it again, his eyes lit up. What kind of panacea was this? He was clearly his roommate!
In Liu Zheng's memory, this kind of thing was a precious resource of knowledge in his previous life, comparable to coal now.
Coal was the industrial blood of the first industrial revolution.
Most factories run on coal.
But later, during the second industrial revolution, oil gradually replaced coal and became the blood of industry.
Liu Zheng laughed. He didn't expect to find such a precious thing on such a small island.
Longyan is now developing internal combustion engines.
Oil is an indispensable thing, but current exploration and mining technology has not yet discovered the massive amounts of oil existing in Longyan.
Unexpectedly, all the oil on this island came out of the ground.
With oil, he can develop artificial rubber, internal combustion engines, artificial fibers...
Long Yan's strength will definitely improve again.
At this time, the first mate came over and said: "Sir, our supply ship has been transported to the sea by the people of the Dikaka tribe and the Swadiko tribe."
"I have checked. The supply ship has damaged a set of steam power systems. Its speed is only slightly reduced, but it can get us home."
Liu Zheng looked up at the first mate and smiled: "No, we don't have to leave in a hurry."
"I need to meet with the chiefs of the Dikaka and Swadiko tribes. I have something to discuss."
The first mate was stunned. He looked at Liu Zheng, frowned and asked, "Sir, the matter has been settled. If there is anything else that needs to be discussed, just leave it to my subordinates."
"Now we should return to Longyan as soon as possible."
Liu Zheng pointed at the elixir: "First officer, look at these elixirs, they will be the future."
The first mate followed the direction of Liu Zheng's finger and saw dark brown liquid filled with coconut shells.
"Sir, with all due respect, this is fierce fire oil. It is not as powerful as those natives say. Dragon Flame has a lot of this kind of thing."
Liu Zheng sneered: "Artificially refined?"
The first mate nodded. The fire oil in his mouth was used for marching and fighting, and it was very powerful.
Liu Zheng did not explain anything to his first mate, but sent him to invite the chiefs of the two tribes.
Liu Zheng was thinking about how he could comfortably convince the chiefs of these two tribes.
They all regard oil as a panacea, and gold is of no use on such a closed island.
They were still in a primitive society and still used animal bones to make farm tools. Without iron, it can be said that they had not mastered the iron smelting technology.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zheng looked at the chiefs of the two tribes walking over, looked at their clothes, and suddenly thought of a good idea.
