So after these spies found out that the Wang family and the locals had dug up the statue of Anubis, several people who were familiar with the local mythology planned to make a fuss about it.
They have an anesthetic extracted from plants, which will make people sleep for a long time after using it.
Then they inserted a thin tube into the chest arteries of the four people and basically drained them of all the blood.
At this time, the people were naturally dead, so they began to take out the hearts of several people, and then pretended that Anubis had taken away the hearts and weighed them.
After listening to the confessions of several people, Tang Ping was a little stunned.
Did you not expect that there were already sprouts of similar surgeries in Europe at this time?
Moreover, these guys actually came from the UK, which made him very curious about Europe during this period.
After conquering Arabia, we also obtained some information about Europe, but it was all information about their battle with the Arab Empire and their defeat.
Then there are some products from Europe. As for what it looks like over there, there is no very specific description.
Ask Lao Cui to take a few people out and tie them up outside the construction site.
This place is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty are also implemented.
They brutally killed four workers at the Datang construction site, and they were naturally punished with death.
Tang Ping also told the local workers why they did this and the process of killing those workers.
Early the next morning, workers at the construction site came, and many picked up rocks and threw them at them.
The workers here were basically people who had no food to eat, and these people brutally murdered four workers in order to prevent the construction of the canal.
These workers share the same enemy and are naturally full of ill feelings toward them.
Tang Ping didn't do anything like Qiu Hou's questioning and beheading, and directly ordered people to kill these East Saxon spies.
Here he is the observer. If the domestic observer wants to kill a prisoner, he must report it to Li Shimin.
But when Li Shimin appointed him, he gave him the right to act expediently.
After all, this place is far overseas. If the person in charge cannot act responsibly, many things may go wrong after a few days.
Tang Ping's actions made the workers present cheer. Then Tang Ping announced that because the four workers were killed at the construction site, there was a security problem at the construction site, and the construction site should be held responsible.
Therefore, the construction site will compensate each of their families with one thousand kilograms of grain, which will be paid in three years.
This also takes into account local food storage conditions.
It was also announced that if someone has an accident at the construction site in the future, the construction site will pay compensation.
These workers have never thought of such a good thing. You must know that in the past when you worked for your employer, if you accidentally got injured or even lost your life, you could only blame yourself for being unlucky. At most, the employer would give you some money. Money is buried.
But at the Datang construction site, it was possible to receive compensation for injuries alone, which made these workers sincerely cheer.
As the news spread, more locals were naturally willing to come here to work. The salary was not low, and the food they earned was enough to support their families.
Now there are various benefits, which gives them no worries. Coupled with Tang Ping's protective temper, the number of workers on the construction site suddenly increased. The project that had been delayed for several days quickly caught up with the arrival of a large number of workers.
In history, a full 120,000 Egyptian laborers died here.
It can be said that every inch of the Suez Canal carries the blood of Egyptian workers. Tang Ping felt that since he was doing it himself, there should naturally be some changes.
The genes of Chinese people include growing vegetables and building infrastructure.
Although the canal was jointly funded by several major families, the imperial court was also involved.
The engineering plan designed by the top engineering designers from the Ministry of Industry has greatly improved the safety of the entire project.
In addition, Tang Ping also provides a lot of safety equipment such as gloves and helmets, which means that there are not many injuries to workers on the construction site.
It is estimated that it will take more than four years to dig the canal.
In Tangping's history, it took ten years to dig the Suez Canal, but they did not use as many workers as the Tang Dynasty does now.
In fact, for comparison, in 605 AD, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recruited millions of migrant workers and built the 650-kilometer-long Tongji Canal in only 6 months.
Although it connects existing rivers, the canals have to be dug very deep and wide because huge dragon boats need to be driven.
Comparing the projects that were a thousand years apart, we can also see how powerful the Chinese people's infrastructure capabilities are.
After dealing with the Grand Canal matter, Tang Ping returned to the refinery.
Datang even directly sent a research and development team here to test gasoline and diesel engines while making improvements.
Seeing Tang Ping coming back, Liu Jiang, the craftsman in charge of improvement, came over and said: "Ping Guogong, according to our tests, this batch of gasoline engines has been fully qualified."
"Oh, are you qualified?" Tang Pingping was delighted.
Of course, the qualifications here cannot compare with modern standards. Modern engines can easily travel more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Tang Ping's requirement is that the engines here can travel 10,000 kilometers.
After all, there is still a generational difference in technological level. Even if it is copied from a modern engine, there are still many technologies that cannot be achieved and some alternative methods are used.
"Well, look at that car over there!" Liu Jiang pointed to a moving car on the road in the distance with some excitement and said, "That car has been traveling at a speed of forty kilometers for more than two hundred hours. There were several glitches during this period, but we fixed them all."
It was a car that imitated an early classic car, and it used an engine imitated by Datang craftsmen. Unexpectedly, it had been running continuously during the time that I was away.
"Great!" Tang Ping said with some excitement. This may seem like a small step for Datang's technology, but it will be a big step for the world's entire civilization and technology. A real car will finally be built.
"Continue to improve gasoline engines and strive to be better. At the same time, diesel engines must keep up." Tang Ping said: "I will first stop domestic research and development of tanks."
Today's tanks are developed on the basis of steam engines. Now that the diesel engine is about to be developed, what kind of steam engine is needed?
When the time comes, just install a high-power diesel engine on the tank, and that will be a real battlefield weapon.
"Also, the construction of the oil pipeline here is about to begin." Tang Ping pointed outside and said: "In the future, the production of oil will increase, and the efficiency of transporting it by truck will be too low. Directly use pipelines and refining oil from the oil mine. The factories are connected.”
The last remaining problem now is to transport the oil back to Datang. It is not that easy. We have to find a way to build some crude oil ships.
