Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1022 The plan to go to North America is shelved
"According to the original plan, we should have gathered the necessary supplies and prepared to go to Yokohama Port. However, there was a civil war on the side of Japan, and there was also a rebellion on the border of our mainland China. The situation in the Jiangnan area is still unstable. The plan has been put on hold for the time being, and our departure time will be extended! In the next period of time, we will have another training for wild survival.”

"This one is the Cordillera Mountains, which is 3 miles long and runs through the western coasts of North America and South America. According to the Geology Department of the Academy of Sciences, this is the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is active in volcanoes and earthquakes and rich in minerals. It is very likely to exist Gold mine. The military master asked us to go to this place named 'Golden Mountain' to discover the local gold and strengthen our national power. The Department of Geology will send more than ten geological and mineral experts to Jinshan to explore gold with us mine."

The leader of the expedition team on the west coast of North America pointed to a brief map of North America, and the location of the "Golden Mountain" he pointed to was the San Francisco Bay Area in Chu Yun's impression.

After the North American expedition team selected candidates, they went to Ryukyu for special training in wild survival.The Ryukyu Islands happen to be on the volcanic and seismic belt around the Pacific Ocean, and there are many deserted islands and mountains, which are suitable for the expedition team to adapt to the difficult living environment of the colony in advance.

Many members of the expedition team are students of the Academy of Sciences. They may have been literati who studied hard for ten years before. It is not easy to adapt to life in the barren North American colony. The special training on the deserted island of Ryukyu Let them experience a completely different world.

"We were supposed to set off for the other side of the Pacific Ocean at the end of the year... When is the new departure date?" asked an expedition member.

"In the spring of next year, if the war in Japan is over, we will start from Yokohama Port. If the war in Japan is not over, then we will start directly from Tianjin Wei." The captain said.

"We will set off for North America next year. Can we return to our hometown during the Spring Festival?" A team member raised his hand and asked.

"If you have time, you can return to your hometown at the end of the year. We will go to the west coast of North America for three years. After three years, the government will organize a new expedition team to replace us." The captain explained again.

"The local area is suitable for growing corn, wheat, and vegetables, and animal husbandry can also develop." Li Yizhu, a student of the Central Agricultural College of the expedition team, is more concerned about what agricultural products are suitable for growing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Only with enough food can the colony continue.

Through the introduction of American scientists called by the Academy of Sciences, the North American expedition team had a deep understanding of the San Francisco Bay Area.

This expedition team that is about to go to North America is different from the expedition team in Oceania, and they are more fully prepared.

"Don't worry, the military department will prepare enough seeds for our expedition. In the early stage, we can survive locally through gathering, hunting, and fishing. There are also primitive tribes called Indians, who can survive on the primitive road. , We hundreds of people with iron and firearms can’t survive?” The team members who were in the same group as Li Yizhu heard Li Yizhu’s muttering, and came over and said.

The North American expedition team was divided into several groups. Li Yizhu and his staff from the Agricultural College were responsible for the agricultural development of the colony, and led the farmers who went to the San Francisco Bay Area to reclaim the local farmland.

"How can it be so easy to feed a few hundred people? The number of people we came to Ryukyu this time for special training in wild survival was no more than a hundred people, and we were in a mess in order to obtain food on the way. In addition, we couldn't find prey in the cold winter, and the sea was cold, and the food would be lost." There is even more shortage. We must ensure that the crops planted in the first year will start to harvest in the second year, so as to ensure that there is no worry about food shortages." Li Yizhu said.

"What do you think the Indians will look like? Will we really see the local aborigines in 'Jinshan'? I heard that the Jinshan Bay area is close to the sea. Even if there is an earthquake, we just need to hide in the sea?" The expedition team When the members of the group were conducting special training on the deserted island of Ryukyu, they couldn't help but be full of imagination about their future life.

After all, they will really go to search for the San Francisco Bay Area and the legendary gold mine in the spring of next year, and they will have to stay in the San Francisco Bay Area for three years before returning.

For three years, they needed to establish the rudimentary township in place to permanently develop the San Francisco Bay Area.

Even if there are no gold mines in the San Francisco Bay Area, the excellent terrain of the local harbor is also suitable as a bridgehead for plundering North American resources.

"We will definitely be able to meet the local Indians, and maybe we can find a way to let them work for us and cultivate a large farm." Li Yizhu thought of driving the local aborigines to build a large farm.

Because of limited resources, the North American expedition hired not many farmers, and if the Indians in North America can be used for their own use, then there will be a large and sufficient labor force.The cost of hiring a Chinese farmer is likely to be several times or even dozens of times that of an Indian farmer.

The Oceania expedition team has experimented with two means of controlling the local aborigines. One is to win over some aboriginal tribes through trade and alliances, making them abandon nomadism and become tenant farmers or herdsmen on large ranches.Another method is to use advanced firearms to intervene in local tribal wars, and obtain captives through wars, which also become cheap labor.

The labor cost of the latter method is lower, but the loyalty is not high, and they are prone to rebellion after they come into contact with advanced civilizations.

"Have you thought about it that far? I think the military leader asked us to go to the New World to establish a stronghold. We have already made a century-old plan. What are we worrying about?" The members of the agricultural team said one after another.

To build a town on a piece of barren land, and to expand around the center of the town, in their view, it would be difficult to achieve success within a few decades.

"The military lord assigned us such an important task. Our names can be recorded in the history books of the New World. We must complete the task assigned by the military lord quickly and quickly." Li Yizhu said firmly.

"The task assigned by the military leader!" The members of the agricultural team mentioned Chu Yun in awe.

Chu Yun is the object of worship of their young students.

"Don't whisper in private, the mission to go to North America is a long way to go, we still need more rigorous training, everyone must have the ability to survive in the wild! We have guns, but our enemies are terrible Not the local aborigines, but nature, volcanoes, earthquakes, famine, cold winters, tsunamis, diseases!" the expedition leader snapped.

　There will be an explosion tomorrow night, it should be. .
