For ordinary traversers, how to deal with the relationship with the aborigines, obviously not a particularly important issue, 130,000 people, can be described as a strong military colony, for the Indians in the entire region are behemoths, which also makes the traversers have a great autonomy of choice, they are willing to make friends with the Indians, if they are not happy, they can turn their hands and destroy them all.

Rather than being concerned about the Indians, most ordinary travelers were still thinking about their future, including what kind of work they would be assigned to in the future, when they would be able to move from the ship to the land, those with families thinking about how to support their families, and even some of the more courageous people who might be thinking about how to get ahead in such an era.

Liu Zhengtai, a young man with a background in mechanics, pushes a small cart filled with red bricks, which were fired only yesterday. The brick kiln was the first small factory to be established in the colony, if the brick kiln was also a factory. Burning bricks is not too difficult technical work, people who know architecture can play a trick, and after surveying the soil around Los Angeles, the geological research staff selected several locations and built the current brick kiln. These brick kilns now provide the necessary materials for the construction of houses in the colony.

"Xiao Zhengtai, you push a little more steadily, and you will scatter it all over the ground for a while, but there will be trouble for everyone!"

Liu Zhengtai hates others to call himself Zhengtai the most, although he is very handsome, but he is also 1.85 meters tall, which is not like Zhengtai at all, but after others hear his name, they just like to tease themselves like this.

The man who spoke was Zhang Jin, who was 36 years old, and unlike Liu Zhengtai, a young man who had traveled from China to Africa to carry out volunteer activities, Zhang Jin was the first mate on the Changmao.

The two now belong to the same construction team, with a total population of 130,000 in the colony, and the labor force can be described as abundant. When the social division of labor had not yet been established, everyone basically had only one job, and that was construction. Therefore, whether you are a top student of Polytechnic University or a sea loach running a sea sea, you have to come to the construction site to move bricks. Of course, not everyone had to go to the construction site, and some of the women and children who crossed the crowd were given preferential treatment, and the women were engaged in some of the laundry, washing, sewing, cleaning, and cooking.

"I said Lao Zhang, you can stay on the boat, why do you run down and work with us, are you so idle?" Liu Zhengtai opened his mouth and said sarcastically.

Zhang Jin didn't care, and said with a smile: "I have a big appetite, and now our food is rationed, but no matter how much you eat, my ration is not enough now, there is nothing to do if you stay on the boat anyway, and coming down to work is also considered exercise, and you can get an extra ration and meat to eat, why don't you come?" ”

Zhang Jin patted the young Liu Zhengtai on the shoulder and said, "I know that you kid can't endure such hardships, bear with me for a while, now that we have just arrived here, starting from scratch, we may be able to use your place in the future." ”

Liu Zhengtai has no doubts about this.

From the confusion at the beginning of the crossing, to the fact that he has basically accepted this reality, Liu Zhengtai has struggled like many people. It is impossible for them to return to their original world, and the fact that their loved ones are goodbye forever cannot be changed, and perhaps they should be more glad that they survived and plan for the future.

After a moment's effort, Liu Zhengtai suddenly found himself standing in front of him with a beautiful figure.

"Haha, it's Lu Xiaojia and Lu Beauty, what are you doing on our construction site with a delicate girl." The first to open his mouth is Zhang Jin, a guy with a full stomach and intestines, women are scarce among the modern volunteers, Lu Xiaojia is considered to be good-looking, and there are always young men in the modern crowd who are courteous to her these days.

Lu Xiaojia is now working for the final committee, which is considered a coordinator or something, she looked at the file folder in her hand, and said in her soft and weak voice, and a man will sprout a desire to protect when he hears it: "You are Liu Zhengtai, right, a graduate of science and engineering mechanics." ”

Liu Zhengtai put down the cart and nodded a little woodenly, "It's me." ”

Lu Xiaojia confirmed and said: "Okay, Liu Zhengtai, you don't have to work in the construction team, the Industrial Bureau recruits you and technical talents like you to prepare for the construction of our colonial factory, you hand over your work, and then report with me to the Industrial Bureau." ”

Liu Zhengtai was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this, working in the construction team was a last resort, and it was more in line with him to be able to do some of his own work, and being an engineer was obviously a high-end job, much better than moving bricks on the construction site.

Zhang Jin also came to his senses when he heard this, and before Liu Zhengtai could say anything, he took a step forward and said to Lu Xiaojia: "I said that Lu Beauty, I also reported my resume when I did the census before, I was born in shipbuilding, we have so many ships in the colony now, I must be able to use it for maintenance or dismantling." ”

Lu Xiaojia flipped through the materials in her hand, shook her head and said, "I didn't have a call for you here, but listening to your situation, I should be called away soon to do similar work." You know that docks and dockyards are being built in the colonies, and people like you can use them. ”

Zhang Jin smiled and smiled at Liu Zhengtai: "Xiao Zhengtai, did you hear it, we are also talents." ”

Liu Zhengtai's face turned dark, and he said, "Lao Zhang, if you call me Zhengtai again, I will tear your stinky mouth." ”

"Ah, it's good to talk about cultivation in front of beautiful women." Zhang Jin began to speak poorly again.

Lu Xiaojia also smiled at this pair of living treasures, and went to inform the others after saying goodbye.

――――Dividing Line――――

Standing on the newly built wharf in Long Beach, Zheng He and his deputy Hong Bao were also full of emotion.

"In the past, our fleet landed in small Western countries, and there was often no wharf to accommodate our giant ships, but today's Los Angeles ships are more than three times the size of our fleet, and there are also giant ships such as Qilian Mountain and Changmao, and the work of building this wharf is much faster than in the past." Zheng He said with emotion.

Hong Bao echoed: "That's true, my subordinates think that these future people take advantage of the excellent utensils." ”

Zheng He shook his head, took out a Type 92 pistol from his waist, and said: "Just look at this handcuff firearm, the design is exquisite, the workmanship is meticulous, it can be fired continuously, within four or five zhang, the middle one has lost its combat power, it can be described as an excellent self-defense weapon." In the hundreds of years that followed, we have made great achievements in the knowledge of things. The wharf was built so quickly that there were no animals and horses walking on their own, and there were strange hands who dug up earth and rocks like holding chopsticks and vegetables. Even when logging is a chainsaw that cuts through a century-old giant tree with the snap of a finger, it is called cement, and it only takes a few days to build a house. Before us, everything was unheard of and unseen. ”

Hong Bao sighed: "It's just that Zhao Daling is cunning, and he has scattered the elite troops of our fleet, either to fish for them, or to build a house, I am afraid that this person wants to be unfavorable to the adults......"

Zheng He smiled and said: "I'm not afraid, Commander Zhao has a lot of plans and scheming, and if you want to say that you have bad ideas for us, it's not necessarily true." This colony has a population of 100,000 people, and everything is complicated, and with our little knowledge, it is not enough to coordinate the overall situation, and I can already see it. At the very least, no one can overturn the unity of the people. Commander Zhao may use our strength. ”

Zheng He paused, then pointed to the fleet in the harbor and said, "Look at these hundreds of ships, these are the foundation of our generation. Although we have crossed over to this place, it is impossible to live in this place. As soon as we came here, we took the Franc man's evangelistic office, and we will meet more visitors from all over the world in the future. From the day the colony was concluded, we were destined to continue to expand and develop, and survival was a shackle on our heads, driving everyone forward. We're still building towns and growing crops, but it won't be long before we'll have to trade in ships to exchange the goods we need, and even fill the land with more people. I have already understood that a giant ship like the Qilian Mountain, without a thing called fuel, cannot travel far, this navigational matter, still depends on our sail treasure ship, the sound of our generation of Ming children, it will be maintained on this matter. ”

Hong Bao was also excited, and arched his hand: "The adults have insight into thousands of miles, and their subordinates admire it." ”

Zheng He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be called an adult, we are not in the Celestial Empire at this time." Hong Bao, you will also be called Wu Zheng in the future. Although our Ming children are optimistic about the future, we must not relax, we must learn all the skills of the future people, if we want to control the situation and keep ourselves, we must not be stupid. ”

Hong Bao nodded and said: "Yes, those people always look at us with idiot eyes, it's nothing more than that we were born early, and we haven't learned what they know, but everyone is virtuous and foolish, Xiao and Xiao are not necessarily, as long as we learn those knowledge of equipment and understand the general trend of the future, we will definitely be no worse than those people in the future." ”

Zheng He smiled gently: "It's good to have such a will." However, there is no need for our generation to deliberately draw a line with the people of later generations, but to integrate into it is the right way. I have seen clearly that in this land, only those who feel isolated will be isolated. Show a cooperative attitude and hold together, only then will it be sincerely accepted. My generation is not planning to fight for power and profit, but just to seek a well-being future for my Ming children. ”

Hong Bao patted again: "Adult benevolence! ”

This time, Zheng He didn't correct him anything, but said: "Deng Xiyi, the pipe band of the Qilianshan, is quite familiar with the affairs of modern and ancient military ships, and he told me a few days ago that he wants to build a new navy for the colony. The cornerstone is our treasure ship fleet, Deng Xiyi proposed, it seems that our ships should be refitted, change the power to increase their speed, add iron armor to make it indestructible, and set up artillery to make it fierce, and finally superior to the Western European warships at this time, which can make the ocean rampant. ”

"If this can really be achieved, it will be a comfort in this life!"
