The next morning, the Pride set sail for the Dili Port Pier with the task of testing the water level at the unfinished Sinanseong Pier.

The Pride sails slowly west along the coastline, the scenery of the Timor Island coastline is endless, the dark green and reddish-brown jungle unique to the tropics stretches to the horizon under everyone's eyes, the blazing sun makes the broad leaves on the treetops glow blindly, and unknown seabirds haunt the jungle, and the distant mountains disappear in the white mist.

On the deck, Hou Xianglin introduced the customs and customs of Dili City and what he saw and heard, and when it came to the various resources near Dili City, Hou Xianglin's excitement was overflowing.

"I'll tell you, especially wood, it's blessed! The dock I'm building now is made of pure wood, and it's all hard mahogany! Can't think of it, right? High-end furniture materials! Can you believe that there are two rosewood among them? ”

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Hou Xianglin continued:

"The problem is that in the eyes of the natives, these woods are not as valuable as the three meals of dried rice and broth I gave them! After a while, we will have reinforced concrete to replace wood, Xiao Wei, don't forget, help me get these woods out of me......"

Wei Hong listened and nodded frequently.

"Look at this coastline, there are redwood forests everywhere, and I'm actually building a dock with rosewood and rosewood to build a wharf, Made, it's all painful to use......"

"Brother Hou, do you have anything special about repairing the dock here?"

"I don't pay attention to it, just look at the depth of the water, the pier that can let the Pride directly dock is a good pier, don't look at our pier is only 20 meters deep into the sea, where the water depth is 3 meters! I used sixteen seven-meter-long mahogany stakes, which are simply luxurious! ”

"Oh, the mahogany is good, it's corrosion-resistant, it's perfect for a dock or something."

"Can this soaked wood still be used?"

"Of course you can ......"

"But it's convenient to build a dock out of wood, and it's better to use wood......"

Obviously, among the people on the scene, Hou Xianglin, who is engaged in architecture, has studied the value of wood, and the rest of the people do not understand it very well, so everyone's focus is different.

Half an hour later, the Pride arrived at the estuary area near the Xin'an Pier.

Under the command of Hou Xianglin, 300 subordinates had already gathered near the wharf, and immediately plunged into the intense unloading work, and worked hard all morning, all of the 50 tons of cement, a small half of the 20 tons of Annam's rice, as well as the radio and pedal generators, 85 57-type rifles, 8,000 rounds of ammunition, and 500 sets of clothing and quilts specially equipped for the escort team.

The supplies were moved into several greenhouses near the docks.

The other supplies that the family had brought with them, including power generation equipment and food, as well as silver taels, had been moved into the duchess's manor yesterday afternoon.

After doing these things, the Pride was berthed here for two more days, during which Hou Xianglin barely got off the ship, and received radio transceiver training from Zhu Beiguo and Li Sanduo every day.

On the afternoon of the third day, Pimont, who was invited, also personally came to the Pride to pick up a large stack of graphic materials, which was translated by Xu Zhi to him the iron sand ore and coal mine information on Timor Island, Cao Limei carefully analyzed the iron sand ore specimens brought back by the Pride last time, and found that this iron sand ore is indeed the same as described in the computer data room, it is indeed a relatively high-quality iron-making raw material, which is very suitable for the current smelting equipment.

In order to allow the Portuguese to successfully find the main ore veins, according to the information in the computer data room, Cao Limei prepared a detailed geological engineering development plan, with drawings and texts, and the content is very detailed and specific.

The maps and information were so detailed that Pimont and his mineral naturalists could find iron ore in the Chagan Basin in the east, copper veins on the peninsula to the east, and high-quality coal in the hills of Morro Bay by the sea.

As for how Pimont and his naturalists were surprised to look at these maps and materials, it was not a big deal, and now the family was in dire need of all kinds of raw materials, and it was impossible for Pimont and his naturalists to find them slowly, anyway, in their eyes, Australians were originally associated with words magic, mystery, magic and strangeness, and so on, and it didn't matter if there was any more surprise......

When Hou Xianglin was learning the skills of sending and receiving newspapers on the Pride, Wei Hong, in his capacity as the deputy governor of the Xin'an Free Trade Zone of the Australian Federation and the captain of the port guard, received Hou Xianglin's 392-member free trade zone guard and construction team.

On the day Wei Hong took over, the members of the garrison changed their previous various costumes and changed them all into uniform costumes.

The sky blue thin cotton short-sleeved seafarers' shirt, black open-leg pants, black cloth mid-top shoes with mille-feuille bottoms, and a narrow-brimmed hard hat made of yellow rattan made this team look completely new from the outside.

If you count the long wooden sticks that everyone is holding in their hands, simulating a 57-style rifle, they line up on the ground for a stand, which is quite majestic.

It's a pity that everyone doesn't have sunglasses on their faces, otherwise they would be almost indistinguishable from the demolition teams from the Old World construction sites.

The guards are both strange and satisfied with this dress, satisfied that it is very comfortable to wear on the body, and it makes people look very energetic, and the strange thing is that the team members themselves have never seen this kind of short dress.

However, Wei Hong, who was in a different mood from the players, was more or less slanderous about such a costume in his heart, of course he didn't show it, he knew very well that for the family, even if it was just this simple outfit, Brother Wang and Brother Zhou of the textile factory also took a lot of effort.

Now the industrial construction of the family is in full swing, there are a lot of things that need to be done, during this time Wang Nabin and Zhou Yuye are busy trying to make abrasive cloth and various industrial construction cloths for the machinery factory, coupled with the shortage of labor, Wang Erwei can produce such a set of clothing for each guard under the existing raw materials and textile equipment conditions has done his best.

Although Huasheng Textile Co., Ltd. has started construction near the red wharf, the company's main focus is on calico, saying that it is to catch a wave of market, because of the impact of the cotton harvest season, the Indian calico in the South Seas is in a gap period in the first half of the year.

Wang Nabin and Zhou Yuye are working overtime to make this thing, hoping to fill a shipload and sell it to Nanyang after the Pride returns from Macao this time.

The costumes for the escort team are still made in their busy schedules, the time is tight, and there is no time to design, so they have to be done first, of course, Wei Hong is not good to say anything about this, but Wei Hong believes that the army's clothing is a big matter, and it must be carefully designed, but this is a matter of the future, and it is not at all taken care of now.
