Early the next morning, the Lei Jian team set out with several Ming guides to explore for mineral deposits in the surrounding areas. Pan Mingzhong started trading early: several delegations from indigenous societies started setting out in the middle of the night.

Any village community affiliated to the Ketagalan tribe with trade needs will come here today and tomorrow to trade. Therefore, Pan Mingzhong did not dare to be careless. After allocating the security manpower and trade manpower, he started patrolling the place with it.

At noon, more and more natives came to trade. When Pan Mingzhong saw the big customers carrying bamboo baskets coming one after another, he ordered his men to bring out his flagship product: glass balls.

The glass balls that travel through the world are not the kind of junk the Dutch use to buy Manhattans.

The numerous glass balls: perfectly round in shape, smooth on the surface, clear on the inside, and with high light transmittance, each one is as big as a walnut. They are carefully polished and polished from leftover materials from the glass factory in the kiln area. Some of them are drilled with high-speed drills and stringed.

, is a rare high value-added glass ball treasure.

The natives really know their stuff.

The natives who had already finished changing the sulfur in their baskets and were about to go home crowded around the glass ball booth. When a fat native chief was dazzled by the sunlight reflected by a large necklace of glass balls, he looked like a sand man.

He hung the glass ball around his neck like a monk, then poured something out of the bamboo tube behind his back and handed it to Pan Mingzhong.

A gold nugget the size of a cigarette box.

Pan Mingzhong was a kind man. After quickly putting the gold nugget into his trouser pocket, he expressionlessly grabbed a few glass balls from the large glass bowl in front of him and supplied them to the native chief: We cannot let the comrades from the countryside suffer!

The time-traveling forces are too powerful to take advantage of this.

The basic exchange price is set at this moment.

Later that day, someone secretly laughed in the stern cabin for 10 minutes. While playing with the gold nuggets and gold sand in front of him, he used the radio to report his achievements to Lei Jian, who was 10 miles away.

"The place where you are staying is called Jinshan District. It was called Jinbaoli in the Qing Dynasty. Why is it named like this? Isn't it just because there is alluvial gold in Suanxi River?" Lei Jian tried his best to use an understatement to express that he didn't care, and at the same time ordered his team members to dig sand.

I want to go back and see the real nugget gold. People who study geology are obsessed with this stuff!

Originally, Liao Tianding thought that the people on the ship would bring out a large, high-quality iron pot in exchange for gold, but who knew that they would use glass balls to do it?

Therefore, Comrade Liao Tianding, the local comprador, was also speechless at this moment. You must know that the natives here have been tempered by thousands of years of foreign trade. They know very well what goods are valuable, and it is usually difficult for outsiders to exchange them for Huang Cancan.

of alluvial gold.

However, Chuanchuanzhong did it.

Not only did they do it, but after that, the people on the boat took out several beautiful "big paintings" and showed them to everyone. At the same time, they also asked Liao Tianding to tell the natives that the things on the paintings could be traded in the future.

.

What are shown in several large photos are pyrite, alunite and volcanic ash.

Pyrite and alunite have clear records of production in the Datun Mountain volcanoes. In addition, volcanic ash is a high-grade cement fine aggregate. After nature's natural magma-type calcining and eruptive grinding, the volcanic ash can be used in cement

When added to 40, it becomes Portland pozzolan cement.

This kind of cement is naturally suitable for concrete projects in water and humid environments. It is currently the most needed building material for certain forces entrenched in coastal temperate and humid zones.

When the exhibition was about to end in the afternoon, guests from far away gave the host an impromptu performance.

The sailor, who was 200 meters away, fired his rifle. Accompanied by thick white smoke, fire, and gunshots, there were broken bamboo tubes, wooden blocks, and gravel on the stone platform in the middle of the exhibition.

The natives sitting in the bamboo shed nearby could appreciate the power of thermal weapons without having to pay the price of blood this time.

After the performance, looking at the natives leaving while having a heated discussion, Pan Mingzhong stood on the bow of the boat and let out a long sigh: I hope these people can understand each other in the future. You must know that once the war starts, it will not be a simple suppression.

. Due to the urinary nature of traveling people, uprooting is a must, and the next step is forced migration. The Madou Society in Tainan is a ready example.

The Yuan Dou stayed in the river bend at the mouth of Suangxi for three days. Because there were more "high value-added" goods than the nearby natives expected, when the Yuan Dou returned to the sea, the people who stayed in Mingren Village

It means there is a lot of goods left there.

These goods will be exchanged for sulfur from the natives one after another, and then transported back to Dazhan by the next batch of ships.

Lei Jian has also completed his task. The high-grade iron sand production areas near Sulfur River have now been marked by him on the map. In addition, like Xiuguluan River, the terrain near Sulfur River has also been photographed by him.

After it is settled and handed over to the main office, someone will naturally study how to open a branch base.

Three days later, before returning, the Yuandou went to the Spanish castle and made a simple announcement about the situation in Mingren Village. The subtext was: Don't go there if you have nothing to do in the future.

After bypassing the Fuguijiao Cape in the upper left corner of Taiwan, the Yuandou began its journey back south.

When arriving at the mouth of the Tamsui River, a certain ship deliberately reduced its speed and used a telescope to observe the castle being built by the Spanish.

Since there was a favorable wind heading south, the Yuandou was very fast and reached the mouth of Houlong River the next day.

Houlong River, which originates from the Miaoli Gari Mountains, is the largest river in Miaoli, with an average river width of more than 60 meters. In the 17th century, Houlong River was the only way to enter the Miasu Mountains. Travelers originally chose Taiwan to take root.

The purpose is for the Miaosu Oilfield on the bank of Houlong River.

The Yuandou, who was eager to return home, only briefly explored the mouth of Houlong River this time before turning around and leaving. Exploring oil is different from exploring for iron sand. The Yuandou needed to rest before returning.

Since the exploration team was about to return, the drying wood stored in the cabin was no longer used. During the final voyage, the gas generator of the Yuandou began to operate at full capacity, sending the sand ship back to the ocean as quickly as possible.

member.

Entering the Dayuan Channel after half a month's absence, Pan Mingzhong and Lei Jian were still a little excited when they saw the Haidilao they passed by still digging the sandbar slowly.

When the big office officials heard that the exploration ship was coming home, they naturally did not dare to neglect it. They held a meeting that day to quickly arrange the results brought by the exploration team.

After obtaining the information, the preparatory team jointly formed by the mining industry and the military will start work now. The planned occupation of the Spanish Castle in Taipei and the development and regulation of the Sulfur River Basin must be prepared for development. As for the plan,

The iron sand on the Xiuguluan River side will have to wait for the time being: Taipei, which can obtain both sulfur and iron, has obviously a higher development priority.

Of course, these tasks will not be implemented until August at the earliest.

First of all, the upcoming summer, from June to August, is the time when typhoons with the highest rainfall of the year occur in Tainan. Therefore, all industrial and mines, factories, and residential areas under the jurisdiction of the passing forces have recently been undergoing

Flood control, drainage, reinforcement and disaster preparedness work, the entire force is in a state of contraction, and there are no extra resources to go to Taipei to do things.

Secondly, it is already mid-June. According to the intelligence sent back by Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilong is already on his way to see Xiong Wencan. It is foreseeable that there will be a series of sea and land battles waiting for the crossing army, so this is

It is the number one event that currently attracts the attention of most time-travelers, and everything else has to be pushed aside.

At the end of the meeting, after Xia Xianze praised Pan Mingzhong hastily, the topic quickly changed: "When will we go to Miaosu?"

Pan Mingzhong glanced at the bosses of various departments at the venue who stared at him with big eyes, and couldn't help but swallowed: "Seven days, rest for seven days and then set off!"

"African people are still eating grass, but you have been out of breath for 5 days!"

"Okay, 5 days"

Pan Mingzhong and Lei Jian were so miserable that they had to shorten their rest time. They originally planned to hang out with their girl for two more days, but alas, let alone capitalists, the time-travelers were not merciless when they took advantage of them.

.

The sun is dazzling, the sky is blue, sparse clouds are floating overhead, and accompanied by waves of refreshing sea breeze, it is an ordinary and pleasant day on Taiyuan Island.

The beach at the northwest corner of Damuan Island near the strait is very noisy.

This beach is of commemorative significance: it was here that the crew on the Dog Eye rushed down the beach, charged forward bravely and led the sailors to seize the Dutch merchant house and began the great journey.

Now this beach has been turned into a training ground.

Originally, the training ground was located near the business building. Later, some bosses found it too noisy, so they rushed the recruits here. Although it was a little off, the facilities at the training ground were still very complete, including some obstacles and equipment used for military training in later generations.

, all on the beach.

What was held today at the training ground was the 400-meter obstacle course assessment, and those participating in the assessment were soldiers from the First Battalion and Company of the Army.

As the first batch of soldiers recruited by the time-traveling forces, these people in the first company can be regarded as loyal royal soldiers. Although the time-traveling people have not yet raised the imperial flag, this is already a technical issue and will soon be

solve.

The 100 soldiers sweating on the playground also have another identity: students.

This group of people is very lucky. They were trained as military academies. As the team grows in the future, these people will become natural grassroots officers. Moreover, the conditions for their graduation are very loose: they only need to learn elementary school Chinese and math and be proficient in battlefield calculations.

With the data, you can successfully graduate and get your military officer certificate.

After the whistle of "di", another row of soldiers began to stride forward and ran wildly across eight groups of obstacles, including cross piles, trenches, low walls, high board diving platforms, ladders, single-plank bridges, high walls, and low piles.

on the runway.
