The reason why Lawrence went to the rescue was, on the one hand, because although they had only been in contact for a few days before, the two parties had formed a good relationship, and they had maintained contact through letters since then. During the contact, they believed that the other party
He is his friend. And if a friend is in trouble, being able to help him is an inevitable choice.
From another somewhat utilitarian perspective, the Passion Church, like the Knowledge Church and the Agricultural Church, is the kind of church that takes root in the middle and lower classes and promotes the development of the entire society. At the same time, its main targets are ordinary people. Therefore,
No matter whether this rescue is successful or not, it will gain the goodwill and favor of the Suffering Church, which will be of great benefit to the construction of the territory.
So whether it was selfishness or justice, Lawrence was definitely going to participate in the rescue operation this time. Not to mention that he had planned to go out on an expedition before, and the ship and all supplies and personnel were already prepared, and everything on the island
The arrangements have been made. As long as you make a decision, you can set off within a few hours.
But before setting off, there are some things that need to be resolved. The most important of which is to find out where the team disappeared. If it is on an island, the possibility of a successful rescue will be greater, and if the ship is on
If the shipwreck occurs far away from the coast, it is likely that the rescue will be just a last-ditch effort to gain peace of mind.
"Even the church couldn't determine the missing location of that team. Because they disappeared suddenly, with no warning or even any sign. The church didn't receive any signal until the prescribed contact time came the next day.
Only then did I realize that something was wrong." A bitter expression appeared on Lei Suo's face. "The map they gave only roughly circled an area of the sea area based on the location reported during the last contact and the ship they were on."
"Do you have a map?" Lawrence asked. After hearing this, Leisuo immediately took out a rough map from his arms and handed it over. At the same time, he said, "This is the Passion Church at the door of the church to those of us who are willing to organize and go to rescue."
On the map sent by the person, the red circle contains the possible missing range of the team guessed based on a series of data."
After taking the map and taking a look at it, Lawrence realized that the search would be a huge project. Because the sea area circled in red on the map covers an area of about 20,000 square kilometers, he wanted to search all of this area.
It definitely requires a lot of time and effort.
However, after taking a closer look, she found that the situation may not be that bad, because according to the list of things that the team brought when setting off, which Leisuo obtained privately, they did not carry any magical props or tools for underwater activities.
, that is to say, this time their target is on land rather than underwater.
In this way, the scope of the search is greatly reduced. They only need to focus on the surroundings of those islands and the channels to those islands. After all, judging from their action goals, they will go directly to the open sea.
The probability is really too small, so there is no need to expend too much energy.
Four hours later, Lawrence and Nora packed their bags and boarded the Enterprise. Also on board with them were Letso, who had come here to report the news before, a human armed team and another same number of tauren.
team. Saphiel stood at the dock to see them off, looking a little unhappy on his face.
Thinking about it, Saifei's personality itself is kind of lively and outgoing. She really doesn't like this kind of work of sitting at the desk and processing various documents. Unfortunately, she is the only one on the island who can sign on behalf of Lawrence.
That series of documents, so she still had to do the paperwork for a while.
Especially when Lawrence went to the Tauren tribe before, she asked Saifei to lead the team for a while. She thought that after Lawrence Huai'an this time, she could take a good rest and go to the plains to lead the team to clear out the goblins. But she didn't expect that this would happen from the Tauren tribe.
Less than a week after the tribe returned, Lawrence was about to leave again.
But this time it should be better than last time. After listening to Saifei's talk after returning last time, Lawrence also realized that there was a problem with the island's management system. So in this week, except for those who have
In addition to the construction of black tea production, he also reformed the island's management system.
After the reform, Lawrence established an inspection department that belongs only to himself. At the same time, he delegated the approval power of a large part of trivial matters to various farms and institutions. This ensured that Lawrence himself could control the overall situation while reducing the number of tasks.
More than half of the workload has been reduced, and the work efficiency on the current site has also been improved.
Of course, the implementation and supervision system of this kind of power is very simple. Not to mention compared with those countries with long histories, there are various problems compared with those emerging countries in the New World. However, there are only tens of thousands of people under the rule.
For the forces under Lawrence's rule, this was enough.
After all, not everything is as advanced as possible. This is true for factories, and so is the management plan. You can eat as much food as you want, and wear as many shoes as you want. Just think about eating a big fat man in one bite, regardless of the actual situation.
Forcibly raising any aspect will not achieve any good results, but will only create disaster.
Even so, Saifei had to work four or five hours a day to sign these documents. Fortunately, Lawrence promised her that he would consider taking her out with him next time something like this happened again, and finally convinced her, so that she can now
I volunteered to stay here to help me handle government affairs for a period of time.
"I will be back soon after I go out this time." Lawrence, who was standing on the side of the ship, waved his arms and shouted to Saifei, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back early this time. There won't be a huge pile in the middle like last time.
Things won’t come back for a long time.”
The reason why Lawrence dared to make such a guarantee was because according to his analysis, based on the conditions of the surrounding sea areas and the various resources carried by the team at that time, it would only take them a week at most to complete the search for those key points.
area, as for other places, Lawrence believed that even if they survived at first, the chance of Paladin John and others surviving was not high.
When the pressure in the boiler reached a predetermined level, with a whistle, the propeller slowly stirred the sea water and pushed the Enterprise out of the harbor. After sailing out of the harbor, Lawrence returned to the room and took out the map to study with Leitho.
.Hoping to find out where the team would most likely be if they survived.
"You're saying that the ship they set out on was an ordinary 120-ton sloop, so there weren't many channels they could choose. After all, if they were too far away from the island, this small-tonnage ship would
Sailing would be extremely risky and obviously not worthwhile for that small team."
"But the problem is that there is a team of nearly ten extraordinary beings on the ship. If these extraordinary beings take action, there will be no problem for small-tonnage ships to go to those places." Lei Suo scratched his head and said, and found Lawrence and Nora.
They all looked at themselves with strange eyes.
"Why do they use small-tonnage ships? Especially when there are obviously big ships." Nora asked unceremoniously.
"For concealment - I'm sorry, I thought wrong." Just halfway through his words, Leisuo realized that this kind of open operation of the church team was completely different from their usual solo gang operation. There was no need to consider concealment issues at all, and there was no need to choose that kind of small boat.
In other words, in the church's expectation, the navigation part of this mission should be very simple, without any trouble, and it should be very close to the New Netherland Islands where the church is located. That's why a small boat was chosen to carry out the mission.
.
"It would be nice to know their final destination." Lawrence tapped the table with his index finger, but Leisuo next to him shook his head regretfully. "There may be some secret ingredients in this operation of their church, so
They did not tell me the destination of this operation."
