In mid-June, Tan Shan and Lin Machinery returned to Bofu with more than a dozen "Lingao Tractors". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The construction of the port wharf was synchronized with the shipyard, and due to the lack of suitable materials, the wharf had to use wooden trestles, but it also had the ability to moor ships to unload cargo. Although it is temporarily impossible to dock a large-tonnage ship, there is no problem in docking such a ship with a displacement of several tens of tons.

The whole population and belongings of the village were moved over by this relocation, and half of them were women, children, and the elderly, and when they got off the boat, it was very lively, with adults shouting and children making noise, mixed with the shouts of women, and pots and pans everywhere, and occasionally a few chickens and ducks flying around -- I don't know who brought the hens that were still laying eggs.

Xia Nan was concerned about the materials for shipbuilding, and he called Charles, accompanied by Tan Shan and Lin Yishan, to inspect this batch of important materials.

There are a lot of timbers, all of which were dragged by boats, including camphor, fir and pine, and there are more than 500 of them; All kinds of hardwoods: Hainan sandalwood, Guangdong lychee wood and Tieli wood also have more than 100 roots and thousands of thick and thin bamboos. There are also various materials such as pig iron, tung oil, jute, white hemp, brown hair, oyster shells, etc.

Charles was pleased with the supplies, and that camphor, fir and pine wood could be used to build civilian transport ships; Hardwood can be used to build warships, less is less, and it is okay to build small Galen ships.

However, he added that ironwood was too hard to work with, and was not an ideal material for warships, and that it was generally used by European maritime powers such as Great Britain, which was characterized by its resistance to corrosion, impact and less wood chips scattered after shelling.

For the construction of the wharf, he also put forward a suggestion, as a planned military port, must be sturdy and durable, now the hastily built wharf obviously can not meet the requirements of long-term operation, no matter how you look at it like a transitional period of semi-finished products, the British military port is spent several years to build, generally made of stone.

For the construction of the wharf, Xia Nan also made a difficulty, and spent a few years building the port, but he didn't have the time, and before the port was completed, maybe one day the pirates would call.

The only way to meet the requirements of durability and rapid construction at the same time is to use cement, but where to find cement in the 17th century?

explained that Tan Shan cooperated with Lin Yishan and others to settle the people in Diaolou Village, and Xia Nan pulled Lin Weiye, who accompanied Charles: "Lao Lin, there is another arduous task entrusted to you, we need cement to build docks and docks, as well as the construction of ironmaking and arsenals in the future, I don't know how to prepare cement, I can only rely on you."

Lin Weiye jumped up: "You and I are a robot cat, you can take out whatever you need!" The production of modern cement requires a complete set of equipment such as crushers, belt conveyors, motors, fans, calciners, coolers, chain conveyors, etc., which is not as simple as you think. If you want cement, okay, you give me the whole set of equipment, and then find a way to generate electricity for me! ”

When Xia Nan heard such a bunch of equipment, he also felt a little difficult, he scratched his head and said: "We don't need modern high-quality concrete, just enough to use under existing conditions, in short, it can be built quickly, and it is stronger and more durable than traditional materials." Can you think of a way, the soil method cement will also do. ”

Soil firing of low-grade cement? Lin Weiye recalled the memory in his mind, as if in the 19th century, there was a simple way to burn cement, it seems that the British invented it, and also obtained a patent, called Portland cement. He nodded and said, "I'll try to go back, and I have to build a lime-burning vertical kiln first." ”

It seems that there is a door, Xia Nan is overjoyed, and said earnestly: "Old rules, you are in charge of technology, and I will leave the rest to me." As soon as the construction of the shipyard is finished, you start to make cement. ”

Lin Weiye protested dissatisfiedly: "I was simply called by you as an animal, one is a translator, the other is a foreman, I haven't seen Nanying for a few days." ”

This is his sincere words, although he passively accepted Fu Nanying's feelings, but as a junior brother, once he tasted the sweetness, he knew the marrow, and he couldn't wait to stay with each other every day.

However, Fu Nanying is now one of the two major leaders of the textile factory, the textile factory is the largest source of income at the moment, the task is heavy, sometimes food and accommodation are in the factory, and he recently moved into the construction site as a translator, it is even more difficult to see Fu Nanying, which makes him very uncomfortable, and he is lonely every night.

It's okay to say anything else, as soon as I mention this, my face is green in summer.

"You still have a Nanying girl, what about me? Have I ever touched a woman since the crossing? There is a foreign girl at home, but this shipyard is all presided over by her uncle, I have to serve her comfortably, I can't touch it every day, and I have to provide it like an ancestor, I am more uncomfortable than you, do you know? ”

Lin Weiye is an honest man, and he was embarrassed to complain when he heard this, after all, he still had a warm bed, Xia Nan looked at Maria every day and didn't dare to touch it, and only men could experience each other's suffering. Besides, this busy back and forth is still fighting for the cause of crossing, and no matter how tired it is, it is valuable.

He patted the other party's shoulder apologetically, "I'll just complain to you, I know that you have worked harder, built such a large textile factory, and built such a large-scale shipyard, coordinated and commanded so many people, and worked hard, which is more tiring than me simply engaged in technology." ”

"Long live understanding, is it all for our cause!" Xia Nan put his arm around Lin Weiye's shoulders and said in a low voice, "But having said that, I'm curious about how you deal with the relationship between the two maids and Nanying?" Do you have the idea of four people sleeping together? ”

Lin Weiye sighed, "Hey, don't mention it, brother, Qiu Ju and Dongmei are good, but Nan Ying doesn't want them to enter our room, as for sleeping together, this is an impossible dream!" ”

Putting the beautiful maid in place is probably an idea that normal men have, especially two men from the time and space where feminism is supreme, and the ideal of turning into serfs and singing can only be realized in this time and space.

It's a pity that the girl from Li Zhai doesn't understand the three from the four virtues of Han women, her ideas are closer to modern women in some aspects, and the intimate contact between other women and their beloved brother must be strictly guarded and guarded, and the bottom line must be guarded, so she doesn't care whether the other party is a maid or a concubine, and implements indiscriminate defense. Although Lin Weiye is timid and introverted, every time he sees the spirited Qiu Ju and Dong Mei dangling in front of his eyes, it is impossible to have no ideas, but Fu Nanying guards the two maids like a thief, especially at night, and does not allow the two of them to enter the room to serve and sleep at all - although this is a common practice in a large family.

After sighing about their misfortunes, the two cleaned up their moods, and what they had to do had to be done. The pressure of the two of them can't be pushed on to others, so they can only carry it themselves.
