[021] Asylum in the Yukon Delta!
(The results are dismal, I won’t say anything more, please give me some points, please vote, please give me feedback, please give me feedback, please update me! Please ask for everything!!!)
April in Alaska is cold, and miners can only collect ore along the river bank for about 2 hours at noon every day, and the next task is all Schmidt's alone! Schmidt spent a heart-wrenching time
After the first week of going crazy, I finally learned from the pain and decided to take on a disciple. I selected ten young Chinese who were literate and understood English from the team to help me lay out the stones.
Schmidt was so busy, so little Liebig would naturally not be idle. After obtaining Long Hao's consent, he would disembark every day to collect various plant specimens. This move made Long Hao understand a truth: in the 19th century
Scientists are really all-rounders. Little Liebig obviously studied chemistry, but he also had a deep interest and knowledge in botany.
There are not many types of wild animals in Alaska. Most of them are small mammals with thick fur, such as hares, reindeer and wolves. At night, wolves howling can often be heard in the woods far away on the river bank, which makes the women and children on the boat very uneasy.
However, the hares here are relatively stupid and are not afraid of people at all. They often run to the river bank and are caught by the Dragon Scale Party members who are exercising, and they lie down on the master's barbecue grill at night.
As for reindeer, they rarely run to the river bank. The escort led by Zhou Bodang once went deep into the jungle 1,000 meters away with a long gun. He came back and told Long Hao: There are a large number of reindeer in the hills over there. If there is no food,
, you can consider sending people to hunt large areas with bows and arrows.
Long Hao was a little moved by Zhou Bodang's proposal. After all, he had been a little tired of eating hares recently... However, Yuan'er thought that animals with innocent big eyes must be very cute, and begged the young master to catch one.
Keep.
Long Hao was very surprised as to why Yuan'er was so bold. When he asked carefully, he found out that it was Princess Melissa who was behind this!
The beautiful Spanish princess, I thought that gold mining was a very cool and romantic thing, but I didn't expect that more than ten days had passed, and all I saw was either water or trees, ice or wild beasts, even the ones that were rumored to be very dangerous.
The natives didn't see it either, so they couldn't help but feel bored. They happened to hear that there were cute animals like reindeer nearby, so they wanted to get one to keep and play with!
Long Hao thought for a moment, and for some unknown reason, he asked Zhou Bodang to take a group of people to actually capture reindeer in the deep mountains and old forests. In the end, a fawn that was just a few months old was captured, but it was still
'Comes with' the body of a giant bear and... the tragic appearance of the escort team being almost wiped out, helping each other out of the woods!
Long Hao didn't know that this bear was actually called "Kodiak", but just by looking at its 9-foot-tall body, you could understand that it was really amazing that the escort could hunt it!
The bear had thick skin and thick flesh, so the Mauser rifle did very little damage to it. In the end, it was Gao Tianyang who shot a concealed weapon into its eyes and into its brain, causing it to go crazy and die.
There were 12 people in total, and 8 of them failed. The leader, Zhou Bodang, even broke an arm. Wang Botao used native methods to fix it and told him not to exercise strenuously for three months.
Ever since the 'Kodiak Bear' incident, Long Hao has been wary of this unknown land. He has controlled his daily activity range within 300 meters, and no longer sends miners to hunt. He even collects ore.
The progress of the plants has also slowed down.
After April 16, the Yukon River began to widen, the water flow slowed down, the water temperature dropped, ice formed in some places, and the number of wolf howls around gradually increased. Long Hao ordered to stop all ashore activities, only in the clouds
Daily training and breathing on the Dream’s large deck!
This training naturally refers to the guards under Zhou Bodang and the navy under Thunder Dragon. The continuous 13 sets of radio gymnastics made these less than 100 people energetic and strong in their hands and feet, even with the cold current coming from the Arctic Circle.
But they can't!
The miners who have basically been holed up in the cargo hold of the Xunmeng since the bear incident saw the members of the Dragon Scale Party active and full of energy every day, and felt envious in their hearts: We are also Chinese, why are they not afraid of the cold, but we have to wrap ourselves in cotton padded clothes and bake in the cold weather?
Where's the stove?
What made them even more envious was that when the first salary was paid on April 19, more than 200 miners suddenly discovered that a dozen people seemed to have received more dollars from the chubby Dean Long than themselves.
Got 1 piece!
Someone bold enough to ask privately: "Brother, why do you get 30 US dollars for Mao? We are all miners. Do you have to work overtime?"
The man smiled honestly: "Nothing, I just became a probationary member of the Dragon Scale Party..."
Dragon Scale Party? Preparatory... Party Member?
This dialogue (actually only 2 sentences) spread quickly among the miners. They really wanted to find out, what is the position of a probationary member of the Dragon Scale Party? Why can Mao get 10 US dollars more than us? Why...
…
The spirit of gossip is always self-improving in any era, and the answer was immediately dug out from the mouths of more than a dozen 'preparatory party members'!
The Dragon Scale Party is a party founded by the owner of this fleet! The Dragon Scale Party members are the group of people who run on the deck every morning, twist in strange postures, and then run "whoosh!" I heard that the last time they fought with bare hands
The macho man who killed a 9-foot giant bear is also a member of the Dragon Scale Party and a leader-level figure!
As for why these dozen lucky people were selected as preliminary members of the Dragon Scale Party, the reason is very simple. Some of them followed German doctors to sort stones, and a few of them followed Spanish scholars to dry vegetation specimens. Finally,
There was also a young man who killed a wolf while hunting, so he was favored by a senior Dragon Scale Party member... In short, because of their good performance, they were favored by the Dragon Scale Party and accepted as reserve members!
Good to be a probationary party member!
After everyone learned about it, there was a kind of "jealousy" in their eyes, which made the dozen "preparatory party members" on pins and needles: if you become a probationary party member, you can get an extra ten dollars a month. I heard that after you become a formal party member, you will also get an extra ten dollars.
If you can get an extra $30, you will even be taught that weird set of moves. I heard that if you practice it, not only will your strength greatly increase, but you won't be afraid to take a bath in the snow!
That night, more than 200 miners who learned the 'truth' collectively suffered from insomnia. There was only one sentence running through their heads: Dragon Scale Party member! Ah, I want to join the Dragon Scale Party too!
If Long Hao could read minds, he would be very happy now, because he created the so-called "preparatory party members" in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of these Chinese workers, seduce them with visible benefits, and wait until the emotions brew to a certain level.
These Chinese workers will be vying to become a member of the Dragon Scale Party!
Long Hao said in his heart: From this small team of more than 400 people, I will develop my own power! The huge power to change the world for the Chinese nation!
The others have almost said it, now let’s talk about our protagonist, Mr. Long! Ever since the fleet entered the Yukon River, he has begun to actively transform himself. Not only does he insist on doing 13 sets three times a day, but also at noon,
Jump into the Yukon River and 'swim'!
