New World 1620

The contact with the Delaware Indians full of "epic ridicule" finally achieved a satisfactory result for everyone.

Although the trade connection established with the Indians did not really solve the current development dilemma of the Manhattan community, at least it has made the daily eating of the crossing people no longer monotonous.The complaints that have exceeded 500 people have repeatedly emphasized the single problem of food nutrition now.

What they eat now is almost all the convenience food that is overstocked in the dock warehouse, and the limited Thai fragrant rice can only supply those old and weak women and children.For more than a month, many people have lost their appetite, and even more than 100 people have developed ulcers one after another.

The Indian trade brought dried peanuts, potatoes, a type of North American squash, and large quantities of beans.But this cannot solve the problem for a long time. After all, winter is about to enter, and the Indians will also face the difficulty of storing food.

By the first ten days of November, the Manhattan community has completed the first phase of basic construction. More than two hundred wooden buildings of different heights and sizes are neatly scattered in the planned residential area, in order to create a better environmental effect, or just because of laziness , the trees in many areas have not been completely felled, and have become green belts around the block.

The buildings in the warehouse area are not only more strictly protected against wind and moisture, but also more particular about the materials used, but the construction is simpler.Excluding those that have been consumed, more than a thousand tons of sorted materials have been put into storage for more than a month.Part of the special warehouse is transformed with sand bags and scrapped containers to store more precious materials.

A large number of imported Siemens energy-saving lamps were harvested from the Fengcheng No. 16 bulk carrier, among which more than thousands of sets were intact.Such a harvest finally let the Manhattan community say goodbye to the concentration camp style of the night.

Along the river bank, a simple log fence fence separates the dock area from the community residential area, and some dock workers are simply reinforcing the embankment with sand and gravel bags.

The simply expanded wharf is now able to provide safe docking for fishing boats and customs ships, which undoubtedly speeds up the transfer of materials more than ten kilometers to the north.In order to improve efficiency, the dock technicians even sent a dock crane and a fishing boat for dismantling related power distribution facilities to the dock area.

The spare diesel motor of the scrapped 5000-ton Fengcheng No. 16 bulk carrier played a role, and this terminal crane greatly saved the manpower for unloading cargo at the terminal.

Just three days before Su Zining successfully completed the task of contacting the Indians, the geological survey team of the Grass Terrace team finally discovered an open-pit coal mine in the northern part of Staten Island. An otaku majoring in geothermal exploration, but An Shaoqing, a geography teacher in charge of map surveying.

An Shaoqing, a geography teacher, used Yan Xiaosong's words to say that "art" is so scary.Not only did this guy find a coal mine, but he also vowed to infer from his own knowledge that he could find iron ore nearby.Although it was later with the assistance of the Indians, a small iron mine was found near the Indian village on Long Island.

For the wild wolf incident that has always made people feel uneasy, at the end of last month, Zheng Quan still organized a large-scale suppression operation.Most of the armed police, customs anti-smuggling team and economic investigation police team were dispatched, and more than 30 people went deep into the north-central part of Manhattan Island.Finally, we found traces of wild wolves in a small inner lake area in the north-central part.It took hundreds of bullets and killed nine gray wolves that could be seen.

In the process of this security operation, a small Delaware Indian village that had been abandoned for a long time was also stumbled across.This has to make Zheng Quan and others feel lucky, otherwise, with such a violent settlement project in the Manhattan community, God knows if it will lead to a conflict.

Everything is still moving forward slowly and orderly. The first ship of coal excavated has been unloaded at the pier, and winter clothes have also begun to be distributed in advance.During an Indian transaction, traces of iron ore were finally discovered.

It is said that Li Xiang, a bachelor, not only discovered the iron ore near the Indian settlement in the Long Island area, but even started flirting with the Indian girl who made a stunning appearance.It is also said that the father of the Indian girl who had a crush on Li Xiang was also a very influential leader in the Indian village.

Both are of Mongolian yellow race, regardless of the age of the other party, at most 16 years old, the Indian girl's body and beauty are at least a few grades better than those of the former wharf sanitation women in the crossing.

The second-in-command tour guide who almost fell under the hooves of the moose has almost all entered the Indian villages recently. Apart from continuing to learn the Indian language in depth, he is hunting and messing around with the Indian girl named Nada all day long.

Therefore, under the "vigorous" promotion of Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong, now Li Xiang has almost become the door-to-door son-in-law of the Indian tribe, and he spends more time in the tribe as a business representative than in the Manhattan community.

……

……

November 11th is the traditional Singles' Day, but now it is a day that does not deserve special attention from the Manhattan community.

Since yesterday, the wind has increased significantly in Manhattan, and the strong wind blowing from the open sea even blows away the rafts tied to the pier.The captain of the White River, who once traveled on the North American route, did not give an answer as to why there were such severe storms at sea after winter.

Half of the pier can be crossed, what else is impossible?

When it was almost dusk, the last fishing boat pulling coal back from the Staten Island coal mine used the on-board radio to send back a frightening message. A sailboat appeared in the mouth of New York Bay.

The simple and honest fishing boat owner immediately increased the speed to a maximum of 10 knots.Then they quickly headed towards Manhattan Island. The engine of the dilapidated fishing boat rang loudly, and the dozen or so Indian hired workers on board were so frightened that they crawled on the deck and cried.

Like a dying fish, the small galleon with its damaged sails was slowly heading towards the river bend at a speed of less than 2 knots.At dusk, there are almost no people on the deck of the ship, and the English name of the ship - "Mayflower" can be vaguely seen on the bronze ship plate on the bow.

Zheng Quan's order came out, and the Customs 516 anti-smuggling ship quickly dispatched.

Zheng Quan's superior position made Wang Tiehammer, the original electromechanical captain of No. 516, become the acting captain.The 36-year-old naval officer is in a state of war commanding the customs anti-smuggling ship to seize the firing angle at a speed of 20 knots.The 23mm rapid-fire gun equipped on the customs anti-smuggling boat has already untied the gun cover, and several customs anti-smuggling team members are making final preparations for firing.

The sailboat still didn't make any movement, it seemed that it had lost control a long time ago, and it just floated quietly with the wind.

"Attention, slowly slow down and move up. If there is any hostile behavior, fire immediately!" Wang Tiehammer put down the binoculars and gave instructions to his deputy.

Half an hour later, the customs anti-smuggling boat finally got on this strange 17th-century sailing ship.When Wang Tiechui and others saw the name of the ship clearly, almost everyone on the ship exclaimed.

Zhou Kemin was the first to climb onto the deck of the ship with a pistol. The scene that came into view made the young man almost forget that there was someone behind him who was about to board the ship, and he just clung to the side of the ship and remained motionless.
