Chapter 560 Time T

Hu Xun was sleeping soundly with his little wife in his arms when he was suddenly called out.

"What's the matter?" He immediately came to his senses - it must be something serious that his subordinates dared to break into his bedroom and wake him up.

"It's not good, here are coming in the bay——coming——a lot—" the servant said angrily while gesticulating, "There are a lot of boats!"

"Pirates?!" Hu Xun froze, and hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, "Hurry up and beat the gong, all the fuckers, prepare to fight!" After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the bed, and yelled at the little wife who was still in a daze on the bed without looking back. With a voice, "Quick, change clothes!"

The gongs outside were beating fast and slow.There was an uproar in the village.The young men dropped their work and ran towards the office one after another.The people in charge inside had already received Master Hu's order to distribute swords, guns, bows and arrows to the villagers, as well as a dozen single-eyed and three-eyed guns.The two small cannons were also pushed out, and hurriedly pulled towards the gate of the village.

Hu Xun came out of the house in a hurry, holding a big knife in his left hand, and a short firecracker in his right hand-this is a Western gadget given to him by the ship owner, and the matchlock has not yet been lit.

The ship owner and stewards, who were resting their boats in Anyoule City, wandered the streets like headless chickens, asking everyone what happened.Knowing that when a large group of pirates came, many people's faces turned ashen, and some people cried loudly. The ships on the pier below the stockade must be lost.

As soon as Hu Xun arrived at the gate of the west gate, he saw a hundred people blocking the gate and yelling to get out.It's no use trying to stop Zhai Ding.The noisy people only heard that they were the ship owner and sailors, and they were going out of the stronghold to sail away.There were few people in the village, and they were pushed desperately by red-eyed people, and gradually they were pushed aside, and some people wanted to take the top bar on the door.The leader guarding the west gate shouted anxiously—what if the pirates take the opportunity to rush in once the door is opened?
Hu Xun rushed into the crowd violently, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off the heads of the two people who were trying to remove the top bar.

"You all got lost and insane!" Hu Xun swung his blood-stained sword, "Dozens of boats are waiting outside, and none of you can get out! You lost your life for nothing!"

Everyone was stunned by his bloody sword, and everyone dared not speak.

"An'an, stay in the stockade for me and listen to my orders!" Hu Xun snorted coldly, "Don't worry about the cargo, at least you can save your life!"

Hu Xun ordered the Zhai Ding to drive everyone back to the hotel, and climbed up to the gate tower of the west gate. He saw no fewer than fifty or sixty ships in the bay, some of them were heading towards Lingao Village, and some Sailing deep into the bay.

Hu Xun gasped, and there were rare five-masted ships in the fleet.But what surprised him even more was in the back. He saw several strange-looking ships sailing through the waves in the bay without sails or oars.This kept him there for a few minutes - is that okay? !
But soon there was something even more terrifying. Three large brigantes sailed in a column towards the shore of Anyou City, and soon arrived near the pier of Anyou City.The side of the boat is facing the stockade.He clearly saw the square window panels open on the side, revealing the black muzzle of the gun.Hu Xun couldn't help shivering: There are twelve windows on this side. How many cannons are installed on this ship? .

"Master, do you want to light a cannon?" Youzhai Ding said.The few iron cannons and bronze cannons on the wall of the village can only hit the beach at best, it can only be regarded as a big firecracker battle, and it is courageous.

"Let go of your fucking cannon!" Hu Xun didn't care about pretending to be the Hu family of Shuinan Village, so he raised his hand and mouthed, "Fire the cannon, do you think your family will hear the sound of the bird gun at the funeral?"

The leader said: "Master! I don't think they intend to attack the stockade, at most they robbed all the cargo below."

"We have to be on guard against attacking the village." Hu Xun said, "Tell everyone to guard carefully and not to shoot indiscriminately." As he spoke, he hurried down to the wall of the village with his knife in hand.The guards mobilized all the men and women in the village, young men and women went to the village to help guard, women and old people prepared to roll wood and bricks, and demolish the house when necessary.

But Hu Xun was not stupid enough to think that the hundreds of people in his entire village could resist the attack.His only purpose in preparing like this is to tell this group of people—no matter who they are, Anyou Leshi is not a soft persimmon, but a hard walnut, and anyone who wants to eat it will have to bite the bullet.

"Prepare fifty jars of wine, two soup muttons, 200 taels of silver and one hundred pieces of cloth." Hu Xun ordered the manager, "Transport them to the east gate for preparation."

"Boss, I'm afraid this is not enough." The master who had been following him whispered.

"I don't know enough." Hu Xun was a little impatient, "Let's find out the way first, and then try to speak."

The landing operation was like a perfect performance, and everything was carried out step by step according to the schedule.

The first personnel transport ship berthed in front of Yulin Fort, and the hatch was opened.

The tidy workers climbed onto the deck one by one in order.Then under the guidance of the sailors, go down from the gangway to the trestle.

After many days of sailing, many people are still staggering after they set foot on land.There were a lot of people on the trestle bridge, and some people fell down when they were slightly pushed, and some people fell directly from the trestle bridge into the sea. The surrounding small boats rushed to pick them up. It was dragged to the bottom of the water, and by the time it was picked up, it was already dead.A few people drowned in the initial chaos, but most made it ashore, and many collapsed as soon as they stepped onto the beach, gasping for breath.They were quickly chased up by the group leader and the captains, and went to the distribution center set up by the Planning Institute in batches.Those who couldn't get up despite being chased away were taken in by the containment team.

Those who made it to the distribution center were led to a steaming cauldron.Some cook-looking men scooped out a bowl of warm soup from the pot and poured it into their enamel mugs.It's an indescribable aroma.

Lin Gonglao took a sip, the taste was a little bit bitter, a little bit sweet, and also tasted like herbs, it was not bad to drink.Probably some kind of decoction, which is specially used to relieve seasickness.The soup was lukewarm, just right for the palate, and Lin Gonglao drank it all in one go.

Strangely, he soon felt that his legs and feet, which were a little weak due to being on the boat for too long, gained strength, and there seemed to be an endless stream of vitality in his body, and his spirit was much better.He looked around in a little surprise, and the people around him were similar. Those who were extremely seasick and barely made it to the distribution center felt much better after drinking a bowl of decoction.

"True evil, what kind of panacea is this?" Lin Gonglao muttered.

What was boiled in the pot was the "Energy Supplement Type B" prepared by the Ministry of Health. It was the formula that Liu San, Chen Sigen and others determined after several revisions and experiments.The reason it works so well is because the main ingredient in it is coca.

Coca leaf is a soft drug widely used by the working class in Central and South America. Before the Spanish conquest, the Indians used it to relieve fatigue, thirst and altitude sickness.The so-called coca culture was formed and continued into the 21st century.

The time-traveling group brought the coca tree at the beginning, and its purpose was precisely because of its effects and relatively small toxic side effects.However, many of the elders still have doubts about this kind of thing and demand the strictest management system for its use.

But pragmatic tendencies finally prevailed.The Ministry of Health has prepared a large amount of this medicine—almost all the harvested coca leaf reserves have been used—in consideration of the extremely difficult development of the Tiandu Project.There had to be something that would quickly restore the spirit of the labor force.Along with the "energy supplements" came a large quantity of cigarettes. "Big production" is open to free supply, as long as you are willing to smoke, each person will be supplied with a maximum of three packs per day.

After taking a break after drinking the medicine, someone came to call out their group number.Each team of ten has an individual number sewn into their overalls and luggage with cloth strips.To the Planning Institute, laborers are not even nameless individuals, they are just parts that make up individual labor groups.

Lin Gonglao's team was sent to help the construction company's installation team to build the second trestle bridge.

Two engineering ships equipped with booms and pile drivers were towed by motor boats. With the help of the machines, a second trestle bridge was quickly built on the wharf in front of Lingaozhai with the assembled trestle bridge brought in from the ship. A motorized power generation ship loaded with a camel machine lowered the eight anchors next to the trestle bridge, and raised the fire to generate electricity.

According to the plan, the original trestle bridge in Yulinzhai will become the No. [-] trestle bridge for people to pass through, and the newly built No. [-] trestle bridge is dedicated to cargo loading and unloading.

Four steel booms were quickly installed.This kind of boom is quite extravagant with a full steel pipe structure connected by bolts.Overall light weight and high strength.Using electric hoists to lift goods can complete the unloading of most heavy-duty goods.

Bundles of rails were unloaded from the ships, and laborers from the Road Works Corps began laying the tracks.The light railway track will extend from the No. [-] trestle bridge to the newly opened cargo yard outside Yulin Fort. The railway track cannot be laid on the beach, so Shandaoqian uses a prefabricated frame-type roadbed, and sand and gravel are filled into the frame.The rails are bolted right on top.Using the mode of segmented construction, with both ends moving toward the middle, the double-track track of hundreds of meters was completed in less than two hours.The rail car was unloaded from the Big Whale and put into cargo transportation.

Pallets covered with rope nets and tarpaulins were unloaded one by one onto flatbed rail cars.Then push it to the freight yard with manpower.At this time, a strange big guy was hoisted from the Big Whale, and under the command of a group of people running back and forth, it fell safely onto the railroad track.A machine taller than a person is mounted on a standard flat rail car.This is a small locomotive made by the machinery factory with a mass-produced small steam engine. Because of time constraints, the steam engine and boiler are almost completely exposed on the rail car.The horsepower of this small steam engine is pitiful, but it is currently the only steam engine that can be installed on a flat rail car
Several technicians climbed up, filled the machine with water and raised the fire, and after about an hour of tossing, white steam began to spray out from the exhaust valve.The barometer showed that there was enough pressure.

Shan Daoqian looked at his watch, it was 3 minutes ahead of the schedule, which was a good sign.This extremely ugly so-called locomotive was the first locomotive on the railway. It was jointly trial-produced by the Lingao Vehicle Factory and the Machinery Factory. After overcoming many difficulties, it passed the local test in Lingao.It was named "Meteor".

"Start!" He waved the small green flag in his hand.

Standing on the car, Liang Xin's face was black. Behind him was a large basket full of high-quality Hongji coal, and several indigenous workers were busy around the steam engine.

Seeing that the green flag was raised, he immediately moved the levers. The Meteor let out a whimper and started to move with hissing steam.

Meteor walked forward a few meters, and suddenly stopped moving.Now Shan Daoqian became anxious, and jumped onto the front of the car in three steps.

"what happened?"

"I don't know." Liang Xin was sweating profusely, his overalls were already black with sweat, and he was holding a large wrench in his hand, "The pressure dropped suddenly, and I didn't see any air leakage..."

"Fix it quickly!" Shan Daoqian was very anxious.The landing plan this time is detailed down to the minute. If there is a problem in one link, it will be delayed to the next link. Although the plan has a backup plan, no one wants the problem to be in the area that they are responsible for.

"Okay," Liang Xin, a mechanic working in a nuclear industry enterprise, hurriedly turned around the steam engine, knocking and twisting it for a while, and the air pressure recovered after a while.Meteor pulled the wagon and started slowly.For this naked version of the front, its horsepower is too small.The crude little train panted and headed for the freight yard.The speed is as slow as only 5 kilometers.

However, it is mechanized transportation at any rate!The loads pulled by this train are enough for laborers to use Zidian to push hundreds of cars, not to mention that some large items have to be pushed by people.

Shan Daoqian looked at his watch. Fortunately, the delay was less than two minutes.Sun Xiao, the general coordinator of the project, no longer has to adjust the plan implementation schedule.

This landing construction adopts a project system, and each project is in charge of a project manager.The planning commissioner Sun Xiao is in charge of coordination.

According to Wen Desi's standardization ideas, Sun Xiao made a detailed schedule for the implementation of the plan: there is a special plan for which labor team should go ashore, and which equipment should be unloaded to the designated yard.All projects have a detailed timeline for start and finish.When the project will end at what time, month, day, and time, the planning institute clerks under Sun Xiao can quickly determine what facilities can be opened by the time and how many labor teams and equipment are free to use based on the forms and cards.Maximize the role of personnel and machinery.

The use of the planning schedule also clarifies the priorities of the projects and arranges the correct time sequence, so as to prevent unimportant projects from receiving priority manpower and material supply.
