Chapter 65 Improve the town construction
Xiao Lin did not always accompany his mother to crazy. As the highest leader in the town with more than 20,000 people, he usually has a lot of things. With so many people in the town, it is impossible to rely on Xiao Lin to buy food. Even if they eat compressed biscuits, they will not be tender to fill the truck. These people will not last for a month. In today's small towns, the main food sources are fruits and beast meat. Indians have no habit of collecting food. They have wiped out so many Indian tribes and have not received any inventory at all.
The residents of the town are already urgently mobilizing and developing land, but there are still many things to do. The most difficult thing is that these whites and Indians are not as proficient in land-related matters as Chinese people. They are small, non-scale, and not very high-yield plantings. The whites do not know how to grow rice at all, and have no experience in high-yield crops such as corn on the American continent. The Indians are even more like that, and they do not have much experience in planting.
Fortunately, as a descendant of the Inca Empire, the people of the Eagle Tribe are quite good at growing corn. In order to achieve self-sufficiency in food as soon as possible, everyone in the Eagle Tribe has taken action. In addition to Eagle and Apache, they have to lead a group of people to work in the land every day and receive Xiao Lin's modern agricultural technical guidance at night. In fact, Xiao Lin doesn't understand these things very well. He just read the agricultural textbooks he bought from the 21st century.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin also has Qu Jun, a good helper. In the more than a month in the 21st century, Qu Jun helped Xiao Lin complete a terrace design drawing that was enough to produce food for 30,000 people. Although there was not much machinery, the more solid and sharp shovels and hoes from the 21st century were enough. In addition to the most important food, the town still lacked a lot of things now.
Second only to food, the second most important position is the drainage pipes of the town. The rainy season is about to enter, and the town now has no drainage facilities. Except for the middle, the highland area where only 500 people live, the terrain in other places is not high. Once the rainfall is too heavy, about 90% of the entire town will be flooded in the rain. At that time, don’t do anything, soak in the water every day, and it will be strange if you don’t get sick, and how can you work?
It was also this time when Xiao Lin returned to Yanhuang Town that the rainfall here was not very high before, and there were still many trees to help block it. However, the trees around the town are either cut down or burned. In summer, it started to rain heavily here. Although it was not as frequent as the spring rain, the amount was very high every time. In today's towns, except for those gravel roads, the rest of the other places are basically muddy.
However, Xiao Lin has no choice but to lay groundwater pipes for the time being. Because it is impossible to rely on Xiao Lin to purchase iron or cement pipes from the 21st century. These things are large in size and have no value. It is a loss since the 21st century. However, if you want to make durable and sturdy cement pipes, you must have enough cement and steel bars.
The main raw materials for making cement are limestone, clay and iron ore powder. In order to control the rate of settling, gypsum less than 3% must be added to the clinker. Xiao Lin has been searching for a long time, but there are not enough limestone veins nearby. The Indians who have been living here before, and no one knows where there is enough limestone. While the efficiency is frowning, Babu finally comes back.
In this era, cement had not been invented. The first part of cement was invented by Smith, an engineer who was ordered to build a lighthouse in the English Channel in 1774, which was invented by Smith, an engineer who was navigating and guiding ships here. He burned limestone, clay, sand and iron slag, crushed and mixed with water, and injected into the water. This mixture was not only not diluted in the water, but became stronger and stronger. In this way, he finally built the first beacon lighthouse in the English Channel.
Babu must have never seen cement, but during his chat with Xiao Lin, he accidentally heard this novel word. He learned about the role of cement from Xiao Lin and kept his mind on this thing. This time he went to New York, he accidentally discovered that there is limestone sold here in New York. Limestone can be anti-corrosion. Although it cannot be used for food preservation, there are still many places that need it, such as lime mortar, a kind of construction raw material commonly used by people now.
Since he discovered the most important raw material of cement, Babu certainly could not let it go. In his fleet, seven large carriages were loaded with limestone. The smell made everyone except those who drove away, even those who drove were blindfolded with gauze and their eyes and noses. As long as they could see the basic objects, they would not let any extra skin touch the air filled with limestone gas.
These seven trucks of limestone are enough to build a pipe that is several thousand meters long. As long as the pipe diameter is slightly reduced, it will be enough for the camp to use. As long as the drainage pipe is installed in a few low terrain, it will be enough to use it, and the town will not be completely submerged by water. Xiao Lin, who was happy, praised the careful Babu happily. As a reward, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment of the newly formed Yanhuang Trading Company Guard Corps is Babu's
However, Babu cannot stay in the town to lead troops. The first battalion of the Second Regiment was just full of people and did not start military training. Because the company had too many work to do, they were all transferred to help do some physical work. Just in time, they were paired with enough meat to help them train their bodies better. Moreover, many of the things Babu brought back this time were very useful. Therefore, he had to go there again in the near future. After Xiao Lin brought back a new batch of fake and real pounds from the 21st century, he would continue to go to New York to purchase the same kind of raw materials, and the amount would be increased.
Of course, before this, as an old mercenary who had been the mayor, he was not idle either. Babu was transferred by Xiao Lin to the agricultural management team to help him supervise and manage the cultivation of farmland and crops. Finally, he got out of this matter, and Xiao Lin could also start to build the town's power plant. Electricity can be said to be the most important foundation of modern society. Today, Europe is still using steam and has been fully developed.
Xiao Lin could not surpass them when he used steam power, but he might have been widened. Before, there were only a dozen diesel generators in the town to supply power to some key places. For example, the small workshops that assemble bullets and grenades could only work. For this reason, Xiao Lin had to carry at least five large barrels of diesel every time he came back from the 21st century. Xiao Lin was also troubled by this kind of thing.
In order to get rid of the situation of dealing with diesel, he didn't know how much connection he had to finally buy a group of high-power coal mine generators used in the 1980s from the government warehouse. The entire unit was divided into three parts. Xiao Lin could only transport one part at a time, and this time he transported the first part. In just two months, the entire generator set could be fully transported. Although it was technology from the 1980s, the power generation capacity was enough to support the current town.
In order to ensure that the last part can be installed and power generation can be generated, Xiao Lin has started the town's power line design and the location and construction of the town's power plant. For the time being, Xiao Lin can only think of these things. These are also the most critical things for the current town. If Zhang Yaling hadn't mentioned it in her spare time, he wouldn't have remembered to care about people's spare time.
Humans are not robots, so they can't always work. Especially those white people who like to go to bars by nature, in European or American colonies, but how difficult it is, they all need to come to the bar to have a drink and make a few jokes with the call girls after a day of work. When they arrived at the Yanhuang Trade Town, although they had a lot of things they didn't even think about, their spare time became buying a bottle of beer from the grocery store and a few cans to eat and drink with their friends.
The key point is that Xiao Zhen still lacks women now. There is no shortage of Indian women. When he attacked those tribes before, these women were not hurt. However, white women were in a hurry. Among the people Tony brought over, they were generally bachelors without families. Before, Xiao Lin robbed people from the town under the control of the Pandey family, and the majority of them were bachelors.
These white men and Indians look down on each other. There are many single men on one hand and more single women on the other, but they are not willing to combine with each other. Xiao Lin is really worried that these strong white men will have problems after holding on for a long time. Xiao Lin knows a good way to do women, that is, the inflatable doll industry in modern society. Don’t think that Xiao Lin is a soldier, but you don’t know these. He has also watched these things online because he is curious and clicked in to check them out. These things can also be added to the grocery store.
In a busy situation, the town began to develop at an extremely fast speed. I believe that it will not take long to support Xiao Lin's ambitions. However, what he didn't know was that the town would soon face a new challenge. Whether to gain opportunities in the challenge, enter a faster development track, or be hit and unable to recover, Xiao Linlin's decision will be the decisive factor.
