As an uncivilized area, most of the area of Taiwan Island is still covered by forests, due to the climate and temperature differences formed by the great difference in terrain, there are a wide variety of trees growing here, there are more than 4ooo species of tropical, subtropical, temperate and cold tree species, mainly broad-leaved forests and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forests. Although Morgan is not a botanist, he also recognizes some tree species, and after walking into the mountains, he has identified a variety of trees that can be used as industrial raw materials, such as camphor trees, masson pine, tung oil, sumac, white sandalwood, red cypress, fir, water willow, alder, and cypress. If Cai Hongzhan, the carpenter of the Ministry of Construction, comes here, he is afraid that his saliva will stay.

Although there are many similar primeval forests in the hinterland of Hainan Island, the area where Morgan spends his daily activities is in the urban area of Sanya, and it is indeed difficult to have the opportunity to immerse himself in the natural environment of the present. If you don't have a task on your shoulders, you can use this errand as a pleasant camping leisure trip.

But Morgan's good mood did not last long, and soon the soldiers who were exploring the way ahead reported that a trap had been set up in the woods.

Morgan followed the soldiers of the trap to this place, and at a glance he saw a tree with the thickness of a calf bending towards the ground in a strange arc, and between the treetops and the ground there was a green vine stretched straight, and it seemed that the tree seemed to be bent by this vine, but if you looked closely, you would see that this was not a natural vine, but a thick hemp rope dyed green, and there were many branches and leaves hanging on the rope, and it was indeed easy to ignore its true face at a cursory glance.

"Long, this is called a hanging bow sleeve, the villain also worked as a hunter before joining the army, and you can know the details of this thing at a glance. The scout who led the way took in his hand a branch that had been cut at the foot of the mountain to be used as a trekking pole, and when he had finished speaking, he threw it at the place where the rope was hidden in the grass on the ground.

The scout continued: "This set is particularly useful for dealing with prey that weighs no more than 100 catties, what kind of sambar goats and the like, you can throw it into the air and swing a lot of meat and eight vegetables, if you use bamboo as a hanging bow, it is more flexible, when I was in my hometown before, my family used this set to catch wild boars." This kind of cover is set up in the wild, and the hunters generally patrol it once every two or three days. ”

Morgan looked at the thickness of the rope and the force of the ejection, if a person stepped on it, most of them would not be spared, and they would be caught and hung in the air. If it weren't for the fact that a knowledgeable scout had come up with this trap, someone would have fallen for it. Of course, the technical content of this trap is secondary, and its appearance means that the natives will operate in this area, which is the focus of Morgan's concern.

Morgan sighed and looked at the makeshift camp at the foot of the hill, which was only a mile or two away from the place where the natives had set the trap, and the safe area of the oil base, which the Executive Committee valued so much, seemed to be a trouble that could not be bypassed in the end. Morgan didn't want to speculate on what kind of attitude the natives would have after they appeared as "invaders", and the safety of key projects such as oil fields could not be left to chance, and they must take some initiative to maintain the existence of the safe zone.

According to the security plan developed by Haihan after the Shilu Rebellion in 1631, the area within a radius of five to ten miles of key industrial projects must be cleared as a safety zone, depending on the importance of the project and the surrounding environment. Non-naturalized persons are not allowed to reside or stay in the zone for long periods of time, and all outsiders who may become a safety hazard must be removed from the zone. In an environment like the Izuku Pit, which is surrounded by mountains, it is necessary to maintain a safe zone within a radius of at least five miles, but the natives who haunt the vicinity probably will not approve of Haihan's unilateral demarcation.

The ridge adjacent to the valley where the pit is located is not too high, and the top is about four or five hundred meters above sea level, but because of the lack of roads and the slippery nature caused by the continuous rainfall, it took Morgan and the others two hours to reach the highest point. Standing here and looking out, you can see the alluvial plains beyond the mountains in the west, and the mountains in all other directions. Although the rain has a greater impact on visibility, you can still see the central mountain range in the east much higher than where you are.

The location of the pit has just entered the mountains, and there are vast areas of mountainous areas with an altitude of about two or three thousand meters to the east, and I don't know how many unknown indigenous tribes exist in these mountainous areas. Although Morgan was not afraid to make enemies of these uncivilized natives, the feeling that this enemy was in the dark and in the light was uncomfortable. In order for Haihan to settle down in this ravine and exploit the oil fields, he will not only have to face the extremely inconvenient geographical environment here, but also the greater potential threat to the indigenous tribes whose attitudes are still unclear.

Looking at Houlong Creek at the foot of the mountain, you can see this small river shuttling through the forest, and the upstream waterway is along the mountain to the east, folding a large bay of nearly 180 degrees, and then at the foot of the east side of the ridge where Morgan is located, it joins two other small rivers flowing from the mountains to the south and the north, and the river has been continuously washed over the years to form a small triangular plain in the valley.

Morgan changed his sight to a better position, and raised his telescope to observe this valley plain, which was only separated by a ridge from the pit, and where such waterways were intertwined, the land must be very fertile, and if the population was to be resettled in the mountains in the future, it would be possible to organize people to reclaim the valley plains, and there would be no need to haul grain into the mountains.

The wish was good, but the reality was not so smooth, and Morgan soon saw in the telescope what he was not happy to see. There are a number of bamboo buildings on the edge of the valley, arranged along the slopes, which are not easy to see under the cover of the trees. That is, Morgan took a telescope in his hand and looked slowly, first saw the fields cultivated on the riverbank, and then found the village hidden in the mountains and forests.

Morgan speculated that the natives built their villages at the foot of the hill on a steep slope, presumably to prevent the rivers from flooding their homes when the water level rose after the rains. Morgan looked closely for a while, and from the size of the village he could see, he denied that the tribe had at least a hundred families. Perhaps the hunter who set a trap in the mountains and forests he just passed was also from this tribe.
