Chapter 10 Our Mayflower (1)

The contact with the Delava Indians was full of "epic jokes" and finally achieved results that everyone could satisfy.

Although the trade links with the Indians did not really solve the current dilemma of the development of the Manhattan community, it has at least made the daily food of time travelers no longer monotonous. The complaints that had previously exceeded 500 people repeatedly emphasized the current single food nutrition issue.

What we eat now is almost all the convenience foods accumulated in the dock warehouse. The limited Thai fragrant rice can only supply the elderly, weak women, children and children. Over the past month, many people have lost their appetite, and even more than one hundred people have ulcers one after another.

The Indian trade brought dried peanuts, potatoes, a North American pumpkin, and a large number of beans. But this would not solve the problem for a long time. After all, winter is about to begin, and the Indians will also face the difficulties of storing grain.

By early November, the first phase of the basic construction of the Manhattan community had completed. More than 200 wooden buildings of varying heights and sizes were neatly scattered in planned residential areas. In order to create a better environmental effect, or simply because of laziness, trees in many areas were not completely cut down, becoming green belts around the block.

In addition to stricter wind and tide prevention treatment, the construction of the warehouse area is simpler to use in addition to more precise materials. In addition to the consumption, more than 1,000 tons of materials have been put into storage in more than a month. Some special warehouses are renovated with sand and stone bags and scrapped containers to preserve more precious materials.

A large number of imported Siemens energy-saving lamps were harvested from the Fengcheng 16 bulk cargo ship, including more than thousands of sets of intact. Such gains finally made the Manhattan community bid farewell to the concentration camp style at night.

Along the river bank, a simple log fence isolates the dock area from the community residential area, and some dock workers are still using sand and stone bags to simply reinforce the shore embankment.

The simply expanded dock can now provide safe docking of fishing boats and customs boats, which undoubtedly accelerates the speed of material transfers more than ten kilometers away from the north. In order to improve efficiency, the dock technicians even split a dock crane and related power distribution facilities and sent it to the dock area with fishing boats.

The scrapped 5,000-ton Fengcheng No. 16 bulk cargo ship's spare diesel motor played a role, and this dock crane greatly saved the manpower of dock unloading.

Just three days before Su Zining successfully completed the Indian contact task, the geological exploration team of the grass-roots team finally discovered an open-pit coal mine in the north of Staten Island. It is said that the person who found this coal mine was not the assisting engineer of the county coal bureau, nor the otaku who was a professional geothermal exploration, but An Shaoqing, a geography teacher in charge of map surveying.

In Yan Xiaosong's words, the geography teacher An Shaoqing was so "literary and artistic". Not only did this guy find a coal mine, but he also vowed to find iron ore nearby based on his own knowledge. Although later, with the assistance of the Indians, a small iron ore was found near the Indian village of Long Island.

For the wild wolf incident that was always uneasy, at the end of last month, Zheng Quan organized a large-scale clearance operation. Most of the armed police, customs anti-smuggling teams and economic investigation police teams were dispatched, and more than 30 people went deep into the central and northern parts of Manhattan Island. Finally, the traces of wild wolf were found in a small Neihu area in the central and northern parts of the country. After hundreds of bullets, nine North American bad wolfs that can be seen were killed.

During this security operation, I accidentally discovered a small village of Delava Indians that had been abandoned for a long time. This made Zheng Quan and others feel lucky. Otherwise, with a big battle settlement project like the Manhattan community, God knows whether it would lead to a conflict.

Everything was still advancing slowly and in an orderly manner. The coal excavated by the first ship had been unloaded at the dock, and the clothes for winter began to be distributed in advance. During an Indian transaction, traces of iron ore were finally found.

It is said that the young bachelor Li Xiang not only discovered the iron ore near the residence of the Indians in the Long Island area, but also began to look around with the Indian girl who appeared in a stunning appearance. It is also said that the father of the Indian girl who had a crush on Li Xiang was also a leader who had a strong say in the Indian village.

Both of them are Mongolian yellow people, and if they are left with the same age as the ones, they can only be 16 years old. The Indian girl's figure and appearance are at least better than those of the former dock sanitation female workers traveling through the crowd. I wonder how many levels they are.

The second-in-command tour guide who was almost tragic under the female moose's hooves has been almost completely involved in the Indian village in recent times. In addition to continuing to learn Indian language in depth, he was hunting and hang out with the Indian girl named Nada all day long.

Therefore, under the "powerful" promotion of Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong, Li Xiang has now almost become the son-in-law of the Indian tribe, and he spent much more time in the tribe as a business representative than when he returned to the Manhattan community.

...

November 11th, traditional Singles' Day, but now is a day that is not worthy of special attention from the people of the Manhattan community.

Since yesterday, the winds in Manhattan have increased significantly, and the strong winds from the sea have even blown away all the rafts tied to the docks. As for why there is such a severe sea storm after winter, Captain Baihe, who once ran North American routes, did not give an answer.

What else is impossible to cross half a dock?

As dusk approached, the last fishing boat that pulled coal back from the Staten Island coal mine used the onboard radio to send a frightening message, a sailing boat appeared in the Bay Estuary area of ​​New York.

The honest fishing boat owner made a quick decision to increase the speed to a maximum of 10 knots. Then he quickly drove towards Manhattan Island. The broken fishing boat motor was shaking, and more than a dozen Indian hired workers on the boat were all so scared that they crawled on the deck and cried.

The small sail with broken sails, Garen ship slowly sailed towards the river bay like a dying fish at a speed of less than 2 knots. At dusk, there were almost no figures on the ship's deck, and the English name of the ship - "May Flower" can be vaguely seen on the bronze ship plaque at the bow.

Zheng Quan's order came out, and the Customs 516 anti-smuggling ship was dispatched quickly.

Zheng Quan's rise has made Wang Tiechui, the former electromechanical captain of No. 516, the 36-year-old naval officer is commanding the customs anti-smuggling ship to seize the firing angle at a speed of 20 knots in a state of war. The 23mm rapid-fire gun installed on the customs anti-smuggling ship has untied the cannon suit, and several customs anti-smuggling team members are making final preparations for firing.

The sailing boat still had no movement, and seemed to have lost control long ago, but just floated quietly with the wind.

"Please note, slow down and lean on it. If there is any hostility, start fire immediately!" Wang Tiechui put down his telescope and gave orders to his deputy beside him.

Half an hour later, the customs anti-smuggling ship finally got onto the strange 17th-century sailing ship. When Wang Tiechhui and others saw the name of the ship clearly, almost everyone on the ship was amazed.

Zhou Kemin was the first to climb onto the deck of the ship with a pistol. The scene that came into view made the young man almost forget that there was someone behind him ready to get on the boat, and he just climbed on the side of the ship without moving.
