Although Zhao Xin came to Kinmen Town to preside over the negotiations, he also brought a lot of good things to Ruqi. When the two finished the conversation on the balcony, they took advantage of the darkness and came to the door of a large warehouse in the fortress.

This warehouse is the largest in the fortress and the most time-consuming construction. It took half a year to complete.

The building area of ​​the entire warehouse is 4,000 square meters, with a net height of 9 meters, a total length of 40 meters, and a span of 10 meters. The main structure and purlins are all made of Q235 alloy steel, the walls are made of 6 cm thick metal press plates, and the roof is made of colored steel plates. The most important thing is that the entire foundation is poured with reinforced concrete, with a depth of up to two meters.

There is no way, the entire west coast of North America is in an earthquake zone, and an earthquake occurs on average every few decades.

The major earthquake in California, which is recorded in another time and space, first began in 1812 with an intensity of 7.5 magnitude. At that time, the adobe houses built by the Spanish could not withstand it and almost all collapsed. By the time of 1857, the earthquake was even more deadly, with an estimated magnitude of 7.9. Fortunately, California was sparsely populated at that time, so the death toll was very small.

However, it is not possible in this time and space. For the sake of the gold and development of the central valley of Koloma, Beihai Town will carry out large-scale immigration to this place. At least 200,000 to 30,000 people will be transported in three years, and more than 200,000 people will be exceeded in the next ten years. How to resist the earthquake has become a threshold that cannot be avoided in front of Zhao Xin and others.

Speaking of this, some people may say that Japanese wooden houses have shockproof and can be introduced on a large scale. But in fact, the shockproof of Japanese buildings is based on modern technology, and early wooden buildings are not good either. For example, all the real old wooden houses in Tokyo were destroyed in the earthquake in 1923. On the surface, modern houses are an old wooden building, but new materials are used for both the foundation and the frame.

Ruqi asked his two guards to guard outside the warehouse gate. No one was allowed to enter without his orders. Then he used the key he carried with him to open the heavy U-shaped lock on the door and walked in with Zhao Xin.

There were no lights in the warehouse, but both of them were holding strong flashlights. After turning on them, they were illuminated like daylight. Ruqi took Zhao Xin to a reserved space, and used the flashlight to shine the white lines drawn on the ground and said, "Here, the location has been left."

Zhao Xin nodded and then asked Ruqi to stand farther back. In the 18th century, this is the first time that Ruqi has watched Zhao Xin "cast"; he used to be either taken away in a sleepy state, or he sat in the container-converted cabin like others, put on an oxygen mask, watched the iron door close, and waited for the door to open again, and the time and space had been converted.

Suddenly, Zhao Xin didn't see any hand gestures or spells. Ruqi saw him stretch his right hand forward, and then he saw a ripple flashing out of thin air in front of him. In the blink of an eye, two brand new grass-green trucks appeared in front of him.

These are two flat-head diesel off-road trucks. The engine uses a water-cooled inline six-cylinder four-stroke supercharged diesel engine with a power of 140, a displacement of 5.88, a cargo box length of 4 meters, and a maximum full load in the field is 10 tons.

"That's so awesome!" Ruqi exclaimed. Then he asked curiously, "How did it do it?"

Zhao Xin knew what he was asking, and after thinking about it, he explained: "How to say it? As long as I think about it with all my heart, the space for storing things will appear in my mind, and then focus on the items to be taken out."

"It's that simple?"

"It's simple and simple, but it's complicated. At the beginning, as long as you think about it, everything will come out. You don't know, it makes me so busy."

"Haha." Ruchi paused for a moment and asked again, "Is there any time when I can't install it or take it out?"

Zhao Xin smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "If there is one, it will be troublesome."

Everyone has their own secrets, Zhao Xin and Luqi have them. At this moment, he felt that Zhao Xin could show his secrets in front of him, and the relationship between the two was much closer, and the little bit of conflict in the conversation just now was nothing.

At this time, he heard Zhao Xin say again: "I brought five trucks here this time, two of them are placed here, and the other three will go to Lu Shuiyuan to stay there in a few days. In addition, when the "Thor" comes next time, there will be a five-person auto repair team. Then you can pick a few people and follow them to be apprentices."

"Okay, okay! It will be much more convenient to transport supplies between the strongholds in the future." Luqi nodded hurriedly.

"Where is the oil barrel?"

"This is here."

“Where to put the cement?”

"There are there...Damn! Why do you still bring so many pineapples?"

"I'm afraid you're short of vitamins, so I bought it here."

"Thank you! I don't have a cold storage here, so I have to let the logistics department divide tomorrow. To be honest, I haven't eaten fruit for several months."

The two of them were busy in the warehouse for more than an hour and did not come out until ten o'clock in the evening. Ruchi, who walked out of the warehouse gate, looked excited, and was like a poor farmer who had just beaten the rich and divided the land of floating wealth. The unpleasant emotions in his heart that had been instructed to do this and that disappeared. At this moment, Zhao Xin asked him to fight Mexico City, and he immediately gathered the team without saying a word.

"Little girl, she's still trying to get angry with me." Seeing Ruqi happy like a 25-year-old, Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He is planning to make time in two days to take Ruchi back to San Francisco in another time and space to solve his physiological needs. He didn't say anything, as long as he works hard, he can meet all the benefits he deserves.

Back at his residence, Ruqi approached Zhao Xin, handed over a cigarette attentively, and helped light the fire. Then he smiled and said, "Boss Zhao, I heard that the 105 howitzer in the arsenal has officially started production? Can you support two brothers?"

Zhao Xin smiled and scolded: "Look in the mirror, your face is the same as the national army in the movie."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them were joking for a while, and were tired, so they washed and rested. Ruqi arranged for Zhao Xin to sleep in his bedroom, and took out a brand new set of quilts and pillows. He moved the bedding to the guard room, which had a single bed. As for the two guards on duty, they could only play the floor in the living room.

At 5:30 the next morning, Zhao Xin was woken up by the wake-up call outside. He was stunned for a while, and then he realized that he was not in Beihai Town. Although the injury on his feet had not healed and could not run, he decided to get up.

He has basically not slept in many years, and his sleep time is as long as five or six hours, or as little as three or four hours a day. As long as he has the conditions, he will definitely run two or three kilometers in the morning. Now he is nearly forty years old, and he is all five women, and he can't handle it without a strong body.

The only inconvenience to go out is that you can’t drink the ginseng soup cooked by A Miao.

After washing up, Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and put his fake beard on his face. Then he went downstairs to make a cup of ginseng tea for himself, then took it to the balcony, and stood in front of the fence and looked into the distance.

The air in Kinmen Town in the early morning was very good. Due to the height, the sea cannot be seen, but there is a layer of mist floating on the top of San Bruno Mountain in the south, and the lonely mountain one kilometer away is also clearly visible. The sun has jumped out of the mountains in the east, and it feels very comfortable to shine on your body.

At this time, there was already a hot scene in front of the three-story barracks building to the west. After more than a thousand officers and soldiers from overseas corps gathered, they immediately started running around the playground in platoons.

In a temporary camp on the south side outside the fortress, more than 200 Indian tribal militias also started morning training under the whistle of the officers. Unlike the regular army playground running circles, they had to run back and forth between the camp and Mount San Bruno every morning.

Speaking of which, this amount of physical energy was nothing to the Indians who crossed mountains and rivers all day long; the problem was that these guys had no sense of discipline, so the officers in charge of training required them to run in a group of ten people. Whoever dared to leave the team and ran around was punished, and the entire team of ten people was not allowed to eat breakfast.

The Indians who did push-ups were not afraid, but they couldn't accept it if they didn't let breakfast. The fragrant rice porridge, snow-white steamed buns, and the militia who ate the slippery mouths were already difficult to get rid of the temptation of delicious food.

According to the latest version of the "Northern Navy Training Outline", all regular troops have three thousand meters of morning training subjects, followed by equipment training, and breakfast can only be eaten after completion. This standard was changed three years ago, and it was two thousand meters before.

Don’t think it’s low. You should know that the physical fitness of people in the 18th century cannot match those of people from another time and space in any case. It’s not enough to get out of the womb. Even the most powerful group of Soren’s soldiers in the Qing army, even though they were all arduous when they were young, they would be sick after fifty.

Nowadays, the training standards of the Special Forces Battalion in the entire North Navy are completely equivalent to those of later generations, but their food standards are also the highest.

When they had no task at home, they had all meat, eggs and vegetables for each meal. Even in the winter of the twelfth, fresh vegetables were available. In addition, such as complex vitamin tablets, Shengmai drinks, royal jelly capsules, etc., they were also required to take every day. When they were on the task, all the food they brought were field foods from the Mao family purchased separately from another time and space, with a calorie of up to 5,000 calories. Zhao Xin couldn't eat this thing and was too greasy, but the Soren soldiers who lived in Xing'anling since childhood liked it very much.

Just when Zhao Xin was drinking tea leisurely and watching the scenery and thinking about things, He Xianyang, who was running in the team, accidentally noticed him. Although the two were more than 200 meters away, Zhao Xin's big figure was too conspicuous. Besides, He Xianyang had studied in the naval class of the military academy before, and people with poor eyesight could not be the navy.

The boy's first reaction was the person he met in Gushan yesterday afternoon, but he thought again, how could the people from the engineering team run to Chief Lu?

After the three thousand meters of running, He Xianyang planned to get closer and observe, and saw the man on the balcony turn around and enter the house. In desperation, he had to give up the idea and start sit-ups with the others. One hundred sit-ups and one hundred push-ups, and he couldn't finish them and couldn't eat breakfast if he didn't meet the standards.

The reason why Zhao Xin went back to the house was because Ruqi got up too. After washing up on the second floor, the guy changed into training uniforms and told Zhao Xin that he would call the guards back for breakfast, so he quickly went downstairs and headed straight for the training ground.

Like other time travelers in charge, Ruqi has to practice every day since he came to Kinmen. Otherwise, his physical fitness would be too poor and he would not win if he wanted to escape when he encountered danger. In addition, Zhao Xin told him last night that he would take him to San Francisco in another time and space to play hard. Ruqi was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. When he thought of Ocean Horse, P, P, etc., endless power surged in his heart, and he had to practice well!

Well, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. In these days, it does not exist that you want to hold power and be an old man. Even the powerful Qing Dynasty who were busy waiting to die would have to get up in the middle of the night to queue up for court every day, or you would wait outside the Old Summer Palace, and you would have to go home at noon at the earliest.

After breakfast, Ruqi took Zhao Xin to the north to the fort. It was located at the narrowest point at the entrance of Kinmen Strait, on a twenty-meter-high hillside, and below is a straight cliff.

When the Spaniards were there before, because there were neither tall trees nor stone in the local area, all the turrets were built with adobe and six 12-pound cannons were deployed. So when Ruchi and the others came, the three 75mm cannons set up on the deck of Thor opened fire, the turrets quickly fell silent.

After occupying Kinmen, Ruqi asked his men to remove all the adobe walls of the fort, and several 12-pound cannons were also sealed and placed in the warehouse. After that, the engineering team used more than 300 kilograms of ammonium nitrate explosives to blast the originally 27-meter-high hill bun, lowering the height by seven meters, and finally clearing out a flat ground that was the size of two basketball courts.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Because of insufficient steel and cement, the new turret is also temporary. It is surrounded by a 1.2-meter-high "foldable explosion-proof wall" and four 75mm field guns are arranged, and the top is covered with a camouflage net. On the hill 200 meters south of the turret, there is a watchtower built with steel pipe scaffolding, which is more than five meters high and is on duty for 24 hours. In addition to observing the sea surface, it also prevents outsiders from approaching. If there is any situation, it will be a bell ringing as a reminder.

Zhao Xin turned the fort inside and out, and after reading it, he said to Ruqi: "The place is still too cramped, the ammunition depot is too close to the cannon position, and it is not a long-term solution for soldiers to sleep in the tent. Also, they have to build a lighthouse."

Don’t underestimate a lighthouse, which not only guides ships to sail, but also is an important marker of oath of sovereignty.

Ruchi explained: "Isn't there a small number of people and insufficient supplies? It's easy to have the things you sent this time. In fact, according to my idea, I should directly flatten the mountain under my feet, and then build a granite seawall by the beach. In this way, at least more than 10,000 square meters of open space, forts, military camps, and gunpowder depots can be leveled."

"It's not enough to just lay stones on the dam. You have to drill holes and piles. Otherwise, there will be a big earthquake in the future and it will be useless." Zhao Xin said after thinking about it, "This is a big project, so I can't hurry. When I take the time to take a video of the surrounding environment, I will find someone to come up with drawings, and then go down... It's too late to get off the boat. Let's have the New Year. I'll come again during the New Year and bring some New Year's goods."

Ruqi said happily: "That's good!"

By the way, engineering design is the soul of construction. It is purely a waste of one's life to dare to carry out construction without design. The civil engineering design in Beihai Town over the years is mainly divided into three situations.

First of all, there is traditional Chinese architecture. This craftsman who directly uses this time and space is fine. Generally, those who can do this kind of work are carpenters, and the design skills are family-born. The level of building group layout and decoration design is very mature. Small courtyards are directly started, while large courtyards will produce a set of iron samples before starting construction, focusing on the appearance, spatial structure, and courtyards and small-scale group layout; the detailed ones also include color paintings of the outer eaves, interior eaves and interior furnishings.

The second is industrial factory. This is usually a complete set of drawings bought in another time and space. Many of them are from the 1980s and 1990s. They are taken back and sorted out accordingly; there are brick structures, steel frame structures, and concrete structures.

Finally, it is designed separately according to the terrain needs. Even if some large buildings have ready-made drawings, they still need to be redesigned in the face of different geological conditions. For example, most of the buildings of the thermal power plant and the steel plant in Beihai Town refer to the ready-made drawings, but before the foundation construction, Zhao Xin also needs to take the drawings to find several professionals in another time and space to check. After all, the entire northeast is a high-altitude and cold area with great temperatures in winter and summer, and many construction standards and specifications are different from temperate areas.

The same is true here in Kinmen Town, because it is located in the Pacific Rim seismic zone. If it is a brick or steel or concrete building, whether it is a foundation or a building structure, it must be reinforced.

Before leaving the fort, Zhao Xin pointed to a small island in the northeast and asked Ruqi: "What do you think of that island?"

Ruqi looked up and smiled and said, "You mean the Devil's Island? I was passing by on a boat before. I wanted to go up and take a look, but that guy Baibai refused to let us land on the island. He said there were evil spirits on the island, and they didn't dare to go. Why? You also want to build a prison on it?"

Zhao Xin suddenly realized that the name of "Devil Island" originated from the Indians. He shook his head and said, "I don't have the leisure time of Americans..."

"Clang~~!Clang~~!..."

Before he could finish his words, a rapid bell suddenly sounded from the watchtower. Zhao Xin and Ruqi looked at each other, and then quickly arrived at the observation post of the fort.

They took the telescope from the guard behind them and looked to the sea under the instructions of the artillery platoon leader. On the sea in the northwest, two three-masted sailboats were slowly sailing towards the entrance of the strait. On the flagpole at the bow of the ship, a huge red and yellow two-color flag was floating; on the left position in the middle of the flag, the crown representing the royal power, the castles and lions representing the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Leon are clearly distinguishable.
