Liu Daming smiled evilly at Lin Fei, turned his head and went out, looking at Ling Xue standing at the door and sneering again and again, making Ling Xue feel furious.

Lin Fei stood up, walked up to Ling Xue, and said with a smile, "Miss Ling, please come in." ”

Ling Xue changed into a Chinese woman's clothes, which was even more charming, she stepped into the house, Ying Ying said a blessing, and said: "The little woman came to make amends to Captain Lin, Captain Lin saved the little woman, but the little woman actually beat you......"

Ling Xue was about to say more, but Lin Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to say any more, these are all trivial matters." In the future, you can call yourself 'me', don't be a 'little girl' anymore. ”

Ling Xue nodded and said, "Captain Lin's great kindness, I don't know how I can repay it?" ”

Lin Fei laughed and said, "You can make a promise with your body." ”

In Lin Fei's era, there was nothing wrong with saying such a joke after helping a girl, but not in this era, Ling Xue suddenly blushed with shame when she heard this, lowered her head and said nothing, Lin Fei regretted her speech, hurriedly changed the topic, and said: "Miss Ling, I have a lot to do next, I hope you can help more." ”

Ling Xue covered her smile and said, "Don't call me 'Miss Ling', it sounds so awkward, you just call me 'Xue'er', my father and those artisan uncles and uncles all call me that." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Okay, Xue'er, is there a place to print books and newspapers in this town?" Although Filipinos are illiterate, there should always be a lot of literacy among Chinese, right? ”

Ling Xue's face was stunned for a while, and her tone was filled with anger, and she said, "What are you looking for that kind of place?" ”

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what happened to the place where the books and newspapers were printed? Is there something wrong? Looking at Ling Xue's appearance, it seems that I am not looking for a printing house, but a kiln brothel!

Lin Fei hurriedly picked up the brief history of the Philippines on the table and said, "I want to print this thing in many copies, where should I go?" ”

Ling Xue's face was still a little angry, and she said, "You come with me, I'll take you to that kind of place." ”

Lin Fei followed Ling Xue out, only to see that the Chinese on the road were all in good spirits, walking faster, and their voices were higher, while the Filipinos bowed their heads one by one, and they had long lost their former majesty, and they were all frightened by Lin Fei's fast guns and cannons.

Ling Xue took Lin Fei to the outside of a workshop, only to see that the water vapor inside was wafting, and the fragrance of ink was wafting, Ling Xue pointed with his hand and said, "That's the printing house, you go in, I'll wait for you outside." ”

Lin Fei was very strange, secretly thinking that there was nothing that could not be entered in the printing house? But he didn't ask too much, so he walked in, and when he went in, he found that the front of the printing house was a bookstore, and the back was the printing house, and the printed books were sold directly, Lin Fei took a look at the bookcase, and then he understood why Ling Xue was reluctant to mention this place, because the covers of the books were all Spring Palace pictures, the painting style was bold, and the color was bright, how could Ling Xue be embarrassed to come in as a little girl?

Lin Fei thought to himself: "The cultural level of the Chinese here is not high, so naturally these books are the best-sellers, and then slowly improve the cultural quality of the Chinese in the future." ”

Lin Fei thought about it and found the boss, he marched with great fanfare when he entered the city, everyone in the city already knew him, the boss was no exception, seeing Lin Fei come in and hurriedly came to say hello, Lin Fei handed him the brief history and asked him to print a hundred copies by tonight, the boss agreed, and Lin Fei came out of the printing house.

Ling Xue looked at Lin Fei for a while, and found that Lin Fei didn't bring out anything that made people blush and heartbeat from it, and his expression was a little calm, Lin Fei said to Ling Xue: "Xue'er, you take me to your construction bureau to have a look, I can use all the things in your construction bureau." ”

Ling Xue's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "It's good to be able to help your benefactor." After speaking, he took Lin Fei to the construction bureau in the west of the city, the construction bureau did not have a high-walled courtyard, only scattered houses, Lin Fei said to Ling Xue: "Xue'er, where are the craftsmen who can build bridges and pave roads?" ”

Ling Xue pointed to the nearest room with her hand and said, "This is the room." As he spoke, he pushed the door and walked in, and Lin Fei saw two old men sitting in the room, drinking wine one by one, their faces full of excitement.

Ling Xue called out affectionately "Uncle Feng, Uncle Xu" when she entered the door, and then rushed to the front of the two old men, looking like a delicate girl, and the stubborn and strong girl before.

Ling Xue introduced Lin Fei and the two old men to each other, Lin Fei learned that one of the two old men was named Feng Mingcheng, a craftsman who built roads, and the other was named Xu Zhen, who was a craftsman who repaired bridges. ”

Feng Mingcheng said: "Engong, there is no need to discuss, if you have anything to say." ”

Lin Fei said: "I came here to ask two people to repair roads and bridges, from the beach in the north of Samar Island to the town, you don't have to worry about manpower and materials, I will arrange it for you." ”

The two old men agreed in unison, Lin Fei thought to himself, transportation is the main artery of modern industry, if you want to build an industrial power, you must have a strong transportation industry, and now you can't build a railway, let's replace it with a road, and the mountains and rocks needed to build a road are available, and cement can also be manufactured.

Lin Fei came out from the two old men and asked Ling Xue again, "Aren't you craftsmen in iron and steel metallurgy here?" Take me to see it. ”

Ling Xue then took Lin Fei to a distance, walked through a small forest, and came to a river, the river was flowing very fast, and there were more than a dozen blast furnaces made of clay standing in the open space by the river, Lin Fei pointed to the blast furnace and asked, "That's your steel-making furnace, right?" ”

Ling Xue said: "They are all iron-making furnaces, if you want to make steel, you need to stir-fry the pig iron repeatedly, which is very time-consuming, Filipinos buy more farm tools, and the farm tools use iron, so we rarely make steel." ”

Lin Fei nodded and asked, "Then where do your ores come from?" ”

Ling Xue pointed to the mountain with her hand and said, "There are iron ore and copper ore in the mountain, and our craftsmen mine the iron ore in the mountain, put it in a bag, and tie it to a raft, isn't there a river here?" The river leads right into the mines in the mountains, and our craftsmen drop the rafts upstream, and the rafts carry the iron ore along the current. ”

Lin Fei asked, "How much ore can be mined in a day?" ”

Ling Xue replied: "A few years ago, it was good to mine, and the ores were all on the ground, and there were a lot of them when you dug them casually, but now there are fewer and fewer ores on the ground, and you need to dig underground to mine them, so the number is less, and now fifty craftsmen can dig a thousand catties of ore a day." ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "It's too little, it's not enough, I will give you our explosives, it should be much faster." Where are those ores? Take me to see it. ”

Ling Xue pointed to the upper reaches of the river with her hand and said, "Master Guan said that the ore in this mountain cannot be placed under the sun, so we have built a warehouse upstream, and the ore is stored in the warehouse. ”

Lin Fei asked, "Who is Master Guan?" ”

Ling Xue said: "He is the one who specially looks at the ore for us, the ore is mined from the mountain, how it should be refined, he told the craftsmen." ”

Lin Fei thought: "There are many kinds of iron ore, such as magnetite, pyrite, etc., the same kind of ore has different grades, so different ores need to be refined by different methods, in my time, there are spectral detection methods and chemical analysis methods to determine the type of ore, the grade of iron elements, and in this era, it is completely dependent on the experience of craftsmen, this master Guan should be the person in charge of this matter." ”

As she spoke, Ling Xue took Lin Fei upstream, and asked as she went, "Captain Lin, do you know about ore?" ”

Although Lin Fei went to the Naval Aviation Academy, he didn't seem to understand mining and metallurgy, but the first thing a pilot needs to learn is the structure of an aircraft, and a lot of materials are needed to make an airplane, so materials science must be learned, and Lin Fei has taught himself a lot of knowledge about materials, so he knows a lot about mining and metallurgy.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "I understand something." ”

Ling Xue stopped, frowned, and said, "Captain Lin, if you only know something, then I want to remind you of one thing. ”

Ling Xue's feelings after coming out of the printing house were very good, but at this time, her face suddenly changed, Lin Fei was a little surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Xue said: "When you arrive at the ore warehouse in a while, you must not ask questions, Master Guan has a strange temper and doesn't like to teach others." ”

Lin Fei smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't know who taught whom for a while? At this time, Ling Xue's expression darkened, and she said sadly: "Master Guan was not like this, and later his wife and daughter were ruined by the patriarch...... It's all my fault for not being good and not being able to protect them......"

Lin Fei comforted a few words, and soon came to the ore warehouse, pushed the door and went in to take a look, only to see a lot of yellow and bright stones piled up in the warehouse, and next to these stones, there was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and the middle-aged man's clothes were so dirty that he couldn't see the color.

Ling Xue stepped forward and shouted Uncle Guan twice, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and glanced at Ling Xue, "um", Ling Xue told Lin Fei about subduing the Filipinos again, the middle-aged man was not excited at all because of his wife and daughter's revenge, he still said "um" and closed his eyes again.

Lin Fei looked at Master Guan's appearance, and suddenly remembered a word, mourning is greater than heart death, he felt sad for Master Guan for a while, and then walked to the edge of the ore pile, picked up the ore and looked at it carefully, and pulled out Saladin's blade, knocked open the ore to see what it looked like.

The sound of Lin Fei knocking on the ore attracted Master Guan's attention, and he opened his eyes and asked Lin Fei, "Hou Sheng, can you understand?" ”

Lin Fei raised the ore in his hand and said, "This is pyrite ore, right?" ”
