Like waves rising and falling one after another, it began to resound continuously on the pier at the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Tribe.
They were a group of natives, looking at the giant ship with a carrying capacity of 20,000 tons. Because the hull number and ship name had been omitted, they didn't know what it was called.
While driving slowly towards the pier, like a moving mountain, a huge exclamation came from his mouth.
There is no way! This thing is too big, and it exceeds the awareness of many natives.
Originally, it took almost two or three years of construction after it was approved.
The wharf here at the Zhongzhou Tribe Headquarters, or Zhongzhou Port, is the largest man-made port within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
In the minds of the natives of the Central Continent tribe, they even think that this is the largest port in the world.
In fact, if you think so, there doesn't seem to be any problem.
After all, after the sea level rose by 66 meters, no! After the changes in the past two years, the sea level seems to have lowered a bit now, about 0.5 meters.
Nowadays, the sea level is only about 65.5 meters compared to before.
But even so, those large and small ports a century ago were completely submerged under the deep sea water, and no one was spared.
In the past, those built by various governments after the sea level rose were basically destroyed in the war.
Therefore, here at the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Tribe, there are two small gantry cranes, which can be used to dock and unload large ships with a capacity of 5,000 tons.
Just saying that it is the world's first port seems to have no problems.
The problem is that even if Zhongzhou Port can be said to be the world's number one port in the current apocalyptic world, it is faced with the current scene of a 20,000-ton giant ship slowly approaching.
It also feels like an elephant has broken into a puppy's kennel.
So, when they saw a huge mountain-like ship slowly approaching the dock, at least two thousand natives opened their mouths in great shock.
That look was just like the stunned reaction of a group of black uncles who had just left their hometown and suddenly arrived in a big international city like Shanghai.
In fact, it's no wonder these natives are so out of sorts now.
Because at such a time, their leader Hu Biao and others still had the same reactions in various locations on this big ship.
By the way! When Hu Biao and others passed through the portal this time and traveled from the modern plane.
After a gap of almost half a year, I came to the Zhongzhou tribe again, and naturally there were some more changes here.
For example:
On Yangshan Island, the first railway has begun to be laid. From time to time there are DIY locomotives on the rails, pulling trucks full of coal and iron ore into the industrial zone.
Or if it is replaced with the steam locomotive brought here, the transportation capacity will be further improved.
In the industrial area, there are more smoking chimneys and more thick black smoke.
It was during the time that Hu Biao and others left that factories with more categories were successfully built.
Although some of them represent people's livelihood, such as small factories such as matches, oil lamps, and soap, they still represent the light industrial capabilities of the Central Continent tribes, which have reached a new level.
In the location of the dormitory area, more tube buildings have been built.
This allowed more natives of the Central Continent tribe to climb out of their dark, low-pitched dens and live in more hygienic and comfortable buildings.
It is a pity that the production capacity of tribal cement and steel plants is still very limited and there is simply not enough use.
In today's Zhongzhou tribe, the school playground has been hardened; for example, all the roads in the dormitory area are still not cement roads, but dirt roads with water.
However, such a dirt road is quite clean to walk on with a complete drainage system on both sides and a thick layer of slag laid on the road surface.
Even the fields around the camp have better relevant experience and technology because the indigenous people have been farming for several years.
And after the fertilizer factory was opened under the leadership of Lao Hei.
Nowadays, there are fertilizers such as urea and ammonium bicarbonate that are more effective than ordinary farmyard manure and guano. In addition, relatively primitive pesticides such as dichlorvos and insecticide are even used.
In short, after using the above methods, the growth of various crops in the field is better.
As for the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the taste of grains and vegetables will be worse, and they are not so healthy after use.
Damn it! These natives have only had enough to eat for a few days, how can they be so fussy and fastidious?
Comparing this kind of unhealthy life, the previous life of starving for nine meals in three days is truly unhealthy.
Taking all the above into account, Hu Biao came here after half a year anyway; Hu Biao was able to see many things worth his joy in the Zhongzhou tribe in the apocalyptic world.
Of course, there are many scenes that make you angry after watching them and need to be corrected immediately.
But before dealing with these things, Hu Biao had a more important thing:
Let's set off immediately and go to the giant ship that the Rabbits helped prepare. See how the supplies the Rabbits helped to purchase for the first time are being prepared.
This point involves the depth of future cooperation between the two parties and can be said to be very important.
Based on this principle, other people in the team are also very interested in this point.
So, except for the six people including Xu Feng and Jason, the rest of the team came out of the hidden air-raid shelter, or came out of the Yangshan Army Division.
For the first time, I dropped everything I was doing and took the boat to the sea outside Zhongzhou Port, about 10 kilometers away.
The reason why it's so troublesome is that AT returned from this position the last time it returned.
At that time, Hu Biao and the others originally planned to purchase a cargo ship with a displacement of about three to five thousand tons, fill it with various supplies, and then transport it there.
It is not good to make too much noise when they appear, and it is not good for the natives to see them; the origin of Hu Biao and others is also the biggest secret of the Zhongzhou tribe.
Unexpectedly, the arrangements made last time were fulfilled this time and a giant ship arrived.
For this reason, when Hu Biao was rushing by boat towards the place where the giant ship had crossed, he also asked Husky, the large tube wheel on the modern ocean-going ship, to bring with him many elite naval crew members from the Central Continent tribes.
The result? It was Xu's first time contacting such a big guy. It still took a lot of effort from the boss to drive this big ship back...
When a group of natives looked at the giant wheel stupidly and shouted,
Because some unexpected things were discovered on the ship, Hu Biao's performance was not much better.
First of all, Hu Biao found a list in the captain's cabin, which was all about this purchase; Hu Biao's first reaction after taking this thing was to flip it directly to the last position.
Sure enough, he was here, and he saw some summary figures that he was most concerned about.
Specifically, it is how much money they spent this time.
In the display of the list, the materials this time involved a total of 6 major items and 137 small items, and the total weight of the materials was 23178.25 tons.
There are weapons, equipment, machinery, and daily necessities inside, which can be said to be all kinds and quite elegant.
The total purchase price spent on 23,000 tons of various materials for rabbits was 587 million yuan.
In addition, if this bulk ship, which was launched in 1996, were to be scrapped in accordance with Guo Jia's standards in the modern world, it would have to be scrapped in 10 years.
However, since it has been well maintained in all aspects, it seems that there will be no problem if it is used for more than 20 years.
As for the price of this giant ship, Rabbit’s family gave it 16 million.
Hu Biao didn't know whether the price of 16 million was cheap or expensive?
But no matter how much he said, after some calculations, he knew that after deducting all the expenses incurred by Rabbit to help with the purchase, the balance of Zhongzhou Team's purchase funds in that account would still be around 12 billion.
In other words, according to the current way of spending money, they will not have to worry about money at all in terms of purchasing in the apocalyptic world in the future.
On the one hand, when it comes to purchasing in the apocalyptic world, they want to spend money lavishly and only buy expensive ones, not the right ones. This kind of showy rich approach seems to be impossible to achieve.
Because of the restrictions of the system, even if they buy materials that are not ultra-low and low-value, they cannot bring them over.
Therefore, the materials they purchase every time are second-hand goods, which are old machinery and materials that have been sealed up by the Rabbit family. The prices of these items are often extremely cheap.
Therefore, even if you buy tens of thousands of tons each time, the tonnage may seem a bit scary at first glance, but in fact it does not cost much.
The main reason is that for some inventory, the Rabbit family has reached the point of selling it for money.
On the other hand, a brand new problem that Hu Biao and the others were completely unaware of before was exposed after the Rabbit family took action.
That is the upper limit of the tonnage that the system allows to bring in materials.
The reason why I didn't realize it before was because the team was quite strapped in terms of purchasing funds.
They simply can't use up the maximum amount of materials they can carry every time the system completes it; so that now, with all the rewards and balances added up, the tonnage that can be brought in has totaled 92,000 tons.
But it also means that no matter how rich Hu Biao and the others are, they cannot bring more supplies.
Hu Biao suddenly realized that it seemed that the system had already prepared for the team to join forces with various Guo Jia to develop the doomsday world together.
Therefore, some restrictions were made in advance a long time ago.
It would not be possible for each team to crush other teams after cooperating with Guo Jia.
Secondly, in the spacious captain's cabin, Hu Biao saw not only this list, but also several packages that were carefully packed.
After Hu Biao successfully called one of them, he could see a familiar MG42 general-purpose machine gun and several long 7.92 mm caliber ammunition belts.
After opening another package, it turned out to be a pair of familiar shorts with an elephant trunk pattern on the front.
After a while, Hu Biao remembered that the reason why this thing was familiar was because he saw Lang Qing wearing it and wandering around the warehouse several times.
Then, he reflected:
Good guys! Rabbit returned all the things that belonged to them that they had searched in the warehouse in Humen Town.
Needless to say, such a simple move showed quite a lot of details about Rabbit. For a while, Hu Biao felt quite comfortable cooperating with them.
*******
Not to mention that it took a lot of effort, and the husky, who claimed to have been floating on the sea for many years and had never seen anything, had been struggling to the point where even his underpants were wet with sweat.
Only then did he lead a group of rookies under his command and arduously dock the 10,000-ton ship on the pier.
And although it has docked, there are so many containers and materials on the ship, and with the original small loading and unloading equipment on the dock, there is no way to unload them immediately.
Therefore, we had to unload some of the lifting and landing equipment on the ship and install it in place before we could start unloading all kinds of nonsense.
One thing that must be admitted is that the above situations are just small troubles and happy troubles.
Because after having the above materials, the Zhongzhou Tribe will usher in another round of rapid construction; the overall comprehensive strength of the Zhongzhou Tribe will begin to rise.
Anyway, the moment he stepped off the ship, Hu Biao was very confident. After this trip, he would once again improve the development ranking of the Zhongzhou team.
In the plan, to what extent are you prepared to improve?
In response to this point, Hu Biao thought about how he should enter the top three; it would be in line with the strength and status that the current Zhongzhou team should have.
Later, during the 15 days of normal stay, for such a great goal, the Central Continent team began to take responsibility for everyone and got busy one after another.
Regarding the specific construction process, I will not explain it day by day here.
But we might as well start from some other angles, and express it in a more down-to-earth manner from the bodies and perspectives of some small and medium-sized indigenous people...
When a contact alarm sound of "ding ring bell~" rang in my ears.
Zhao Jianshe was in a state of shock and woke up immediately.
After letting out a big yawn, he first stretched out an arm from the bed and closed the plastic alarm clock that was sold in a modern ramen wholesale market at the bedside, and the price definitely did not exceed 3 yuan.
Then, even though he felt unspeakable back pain due to yesterday's hard work, Zhao Jianshe still stretched and was ready to get up on time.
He started to stretch out his right hand and fished out from under the pillow a box of matches produced by the Tribal Match Factory.
After rubbing it several times, I polished it and used it to light a lantern hanging on the wall beside the bed.
Suddenly, the flames of the lanterns gave this shack, which was only a dozen square meters in actual area, a somewhat modest light.
Compared with the electric lights that Zhao Jianshe was used to, the brightness was not that much different.
Of course, such a situation has a lot to do with the fact that Zhao Jianshe did not dare to adjust the lantern too brightly and consume more kerosene.
No way! According to some statements obtained by reporters during a tribal radio program interview with the tribal energy department.
Because of the tribe’s current restrictions on coal-to-oil technology.
At present, after the tribe has ensured the production of main oils such as gasoline and diesel, in the production of associated oils such as kerosene, it can only produce about 0.9 tons per day.
In fact, speaking of it, the output of at least 27 tons of kerosene per month is not low.
The Zhongzhou Tribe is now not only the Yangshan Island where the headquarters is located, it is also completely electrified.
In other areas, as long as there are settlements with a large number of people, tribes have also installed equipment called small hydropower.
The electricity generated every day may not be enough to supply large machines.
But in terms of daily electricity consumption, it mainly provides some lighting, drives some radios, speakers, electric fans, etc., which is actually completely sufficient.
In this way, the daily kerosene output of 0.9 tons is enough for small strongholds such as Zhao Jianshe and others.
But the caravan of the Who Called Tribe discovered something in its transactions with other forces.
Ordinary indigenous people who have no electricity supply at all like tribal lanterns and kerosene very much, even to the point of necessities of life.
In this way, the number of oil lamps made of iron and glass in tribal factories is relatively high.
However, the limited kerosene can only be supplied in limited quantities; of the 27 tons of kerosene produced every month, nearly 80% is sold, and the remaining 20% is used by tribal members.
The monthly share will not be enough if used lavishly.
Anyway, Zhao Jianshe never dared to adjust the wick of the horse lantern too much to avoid kerosene consumption...
