Of course, the ingredients in the cafeteria cost money, and the food and dishes prepared every day will not be cheap. If it was given to the natives without any conditions, the Senate would not have driven thousands of miles to Lanyu to open a soup kitchen. Although the finance department allocated a sum of money to the food department of Orchid Island to specifically "buy" the natives, the ultimate goal is to lend the natives the opportunity to eat to promote the "values of Oriental Port" and instill "Chinese culture" in the natives. If the natives can receive cultural education with peace of mind, they will naturally have something to say and eat whatever they want, but if they encounter the kind of goods that cannot be taught in any way, then they must not give each other food for free, or they will have to pay labor in exchange for food, or they will have to pay money.

Although there is not much money on Orchid Island now, but there is also a lot, since the military uniform became popular on Orchid Island, many natives have finally figured out what the pockets on the military uniform are used for - it can be used to put money, so many natives are walking on the road at the moment, the pockets are heavy, and they can always hear the jingling sound of coins inside.

============================= divider =============================

"Squeak-" There was a scream with a shrill metal grinding sound, and the crowd jumped to the sides like frightened rabbits. Not far uphill, a rhinoceros transporter was sliding down the snow-covered official road, "Be careful! "Get out of the way!" "Get out of the way! Don't get in the way! There were also screams from the crowd.

As the old saying goes, the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny, and the rhino transporter is designed to travel in thick snow and extremely soft swampy terrain. Before today, rhino trucks were very good at driving on snow-covered terrain, especially in many places where the vehicle had passed before realizing that the snow had covered more than a person's height. Today, however, the situation was different, and they encountered a steep mountain road.

The condition of the mountain road was rather bad, and the previous rhinoceros cars climbed over it with briskness, but soon the snow on the road was crushed into two wide and deep grooves. The rhinoceros uses steam engine power, there is a combustion chamber under the car body, and the boiler is above it, this external combustion heat engine is completely dependent on the heat of coal burning on the car, and the biggest disadvantage of the external combustion engine is that the heat conversion rate is very low, only a small part of the heat in its combustion chamber can be used to push the steam engine, and the vast majority of the heat is directly dissipated into the atmosphere.

The rhinoceros cars in front of them passed all the way smoothly, but the heat of their bodies melted the snow in the middle of the grooves pressed out by the two propellers, and the melted snow did not flow away directly with the twists and turns of the road, but was directly frozen into ice in the cold weather, and the hardness of the ice cubes was not comparable to the snow, and the road soon became a large ice block.

The distance between the two screw propellers of the rhinoceros cart is relatively wide, and the width of the ice cube formed between the two grooves is naturally very wide, and it is difficult to be cut by the propeller after forming a large ice block in between, and the shell of the propeller itself is smooth, and there is no brake or anything like that can be used to ensure that the body does not move, so the rhinoceros transporter is blind after climbing this mountain, and it is easy to slide down the hillside due to the weight of the body itself. The rhinoceros car does not use the steering wheel to control the direction, but through the speed difference between the two screw propellers to implement the steering, which requires a very high driver's feel when climbing, and it is difficult to climb up on such a slope if it fails to reach the so-called "integration of people and vehicles".

With a loud bang, the rhinoceros cart that had just climbed up the slope slid all the way down, then slowly turned sideways as it descended, then made a screeching grinding sound all the way on the ice, and finally in a burst of screams, it knocked down a roadside tree, and then stopped.

"Flameout! Shut down! The people outside the car shouted loudly and ran towards the car. One side of the car body suddenly let out a long roar, and at the same time, the side also spewed out thick water vapor, rising in the cold wind, floating into the air three or five meters high, and for a while even the outline of the car body was covered. The people next to him were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly ran back, and the people in the car also scrambled to open the door at the back of the car and jump under the car, and then ran into the distance. "It's okay, it's okay! Don't be afraid! The stoker in the car shouted, "It's just to release the pressure!" ”

But who would listen to the people who were frightened by such a situation that they had never seen before? It's just that I ran faster. After a short time, the pressure relief was completed, and the pressure relief hole on the side of the car body stopped howling, and the water gushed out from the position of the pressure relief hole. At this time, there is no snow within a meter near the pressure relief hole, and the water vapor does not know how much heat is dissipated to the vicinity when the pressure is relieved just now, and the snow next to it has completely melted, but because the temperature of the ground is still very low, and many of them are still in a frozen state, the snow melted water cannot be penetrated into the mud for a while, and a small pool is even formed on the ground.

"One more time?" The stoker turned to the driver and asked, "We're almost at the top of the slope just now, but we slipped down again, I think it would be nice to do it again and pay a little more attention, right?" ”

"Isn't it?" The driver's legs at the moment are actually quietly trembling, just now the car body is completely out of control in the process of sliding down, let him deeply understand that "the day should not be called the earth is not working", if not sure that he will be able to drive up, he will not dare to drive up at all. Now he can only hide his whole body with the action of rubbing his hands, and his whole body is shaking involuntarily, while looking left and right, hoping that someone else will try it first.

"What's going on? You okay? The door was opened with a bang, and it was Niu Dazhuang, the captain of this transportation detachment, who only worked as a laborer and sold coolies in Beiqiaotou Town a few years ago, and the money he earned every day could only barely feed his family, and now he has inexplicably become the leader of the logistics transportation detachment of the northbound brigade.

"It's alright, sir!" The driver hurriedly said, but shook his head again and said, "Sir, I really don't dare to go on again, you let someone else go first." ”

"Oh, this," Niu Dazhuang grinned, "You're just afraid of sliding down again, aren't you?" ”

"Well......" The driver's obvious expression on his face was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded, Niu Dazhuang patted his chest hard and said, "Come, I'll sit next to you and guide you how to drive, I drove it just now!" ”

"But it didn't freeze just now!" The driver couldn't help but continue with some embarrassment, Niu Dazhuang nodded, "It's not as good as the Chapter 372 Westward Expansion Episode of "The Dawn of the Crossing" that you have seen has enabled the anti-theft mode, and only half of the chapter and the content of the previous chapter cannot be connected.
