Chapter 2295: The livable island of Malta

The port warehouse has accumulated a large amount of materials, and in order to protect the port, the fort has been repaired vigorously.

The Chinese turned the original fortresses into a three-dimensional defense system, including trenches, retaining walls, and guns deployed, densely packed, and overlapping each other. In the past, more than 100 people in the South China Army used their guns to easily break the fortresses. Will repeat itself.

A concrete road was built on the side of the fort, with a **** in the middle and steps on both sides. Soon, it became clear what the **** road was.

The strong bull and the big man work together to drag the giant cannon uphill.

"Thor's Hammer" arrived, two doors!

The super cannon has a caliber of more than 0.8 meters, a length of more than 5 meters, and a weight of 20 tons. It can fire up to 700 kilograms of shells, enough to destroy a battleship with one shot!

This was the most terrifying weapon at the time, and it was the most important weapon of the country!

All are made of bronze, and bronze is money. In ancient times, a copper coin weighed 3 grams, and 20 tons of bronze was enough to cast 6,666,666 coins, which is not a small amount.

If the South China Empire hadn't had the mainland of Turkey and Australia, it would not have been able to do so as it is now!

Everyone on the earth knows that Tuao is sitting on a mine cart. Its copper resources are rich and it ranks among the best in the world. The South China Empire sent people to Tuao for many years to search for mines, find copper mines, and extract refined copper. Then it was cast into a cannon. For the super cannon that other countries had to exhaust their national power, it would not be a problem in the South China Empire.

Super cannons are continuously produced and deployed to various places.

Soon after the island of Malta, the "Thor's Hammer" was quickly deployed in place, indicating that the South China Empire had ample manufacturing capacity and had long been able to build cannons for backup.

In addition to the "Thor's Hammer", there are other heavy artillery, that is, a larger cannon that has broken through the 32-pounder. There are a total of 16 100-pounder cannons, making the island of Malta indestructible.

There were two thousand new immigrants who were stationed with the artillery, and the chief executive Cheng Yu personally signed the certificate of naturalization, and they became the first residents of the island of Malta in the empire.

For immigrants, the empire still has fangs.

Staying comfortably in your hometown, why should you leave your hometown to emigrate?

Therefore, the empire promulgated an "Immigration Law", also called the "Homestead Law", which clearly stipulates that new immigrants own 50 to 100 acres of land on newly conquered land, which can be passed on to their children and grandchildren. There are five to thirty acres of dowry fields (all depends on the abundance of the local fields), and the other is the settlement expenses.

In the case of voluntary resettlement, the resettlement allowance is one hundred silver dollars.

If there are not enough immigrants to be sent to a certain place, the people without hukou, criminals, and the non-eldest sons of the people’s homes, as well as the son-in-law, will be selected for immigration through a lottery.

This is the state policy of the empire, and no one can resist it.

But the lottery is open, fair and just, and no one can do anything about it.

If it is drawn by lot, the settlement fee is fifty silver dollars.

The empire is not afraid of no immigrants, like these new immigrants, hey, the empire will assign a wife!

The women on the island of Malta are assigned to new immigrants. They are trained to ensure that they believe in the gods of the Chinese Buddhism and Taoism, such as Mazu Niangniang, and then they learn the housekeeping skills and stay after passing the test, otherwise they will be sold. Far away!

All women who belong to China are handled in this way, otherwise they will not be allowed to be naturalized. In the hukou of the people of the empire, the citizens and their family members must indicate their religious beliefs, and there may be no beliefs. Those who believe in are the gods of the Buddhist and Taoist schools!

Under such pressure, the local women who remained were very obedient to the new immigrants of the empire, and they combined with the new immigrants to form a family.

Since then, new immigrants have spread their branches and leaves here, and they have brought a new look to the island of Malta.

Speaking of the geographical location of the island of Malta, the land is really not that good. The island is mainly composed of coral limestone highlands. It is dry and few forests. It has a typical Mediterranean climate. The annual precipitation is about 500 mm, but the coral limestone makes the ground impossible. There are no rivers or lakes for storing fresh water.

Without fresh water, life is difficult for people and animals, let alone farming.

The Maltese grow potatoes, grapes, onions, tomatoes, etc. on the only bit of soil. They are not self-sufficient in food and vegetables. Even if they do, they can only grow a little bit like the experimental site, and most of them rely on transporting food from outside.

Because of this, there are not many indigenous people on the island of Malta, and as a result, the Knights of Malta cannot be given more help.

The intelligence here says that it cannot be planted, can the Chinese do it?

The Chinese people's "talent" for farming is "ancestral", from islands to plateaus, from ordinary military camps to immigrant camps, wherever the Chinese go, they will grow this vegetable.

Without sufficient water sources, new immigrants set up water cellars to collect the rain for humans and animals for drinking and farming.

Water cellar is a kind of **** water and soil conservation engineering facility that people dug underground in the mountain plateau with thick soil in arid and semi-arid areas to store surface runoff and solve the problem of water use for humans and livestock and irrigation of farmland. It is generally located by the side of the road. In places where water flows, a bottle-shaped crypt is excavated, and there are anti-seepage facilities on the inner wall and bottom. In addition to drinking by humans and animals, it can also irrigate farmland and also play a role in water storage and soil conservation. Also called dry well.

Water cellars are often built in places where water sources are scarce and soil erosion is serious. They are essential facilities for water storage and soil conservation on slopes.

I have a long history of building water kilns in the mountainous areas of China, and the technology is quite mature!

After the kiln is completed, anti-seepage is an important task. The anti-seepage material can be heavy silty clay, sandy clay, and tamping the cellar wall and kiln bottom by pounding mud. The wall of the kiln is dug into a hole in the shape of "product", and the hole is plugged with glue, and a little protruding is joined with the plastering cement to stabilize the wall of the kiln.

Plaster 3-4 layers of mud in the water cellar, each layer of 1cm, stagger the mud stubble, and use a hammer to compact the mud wall so that the mud wall is smooth and cannot see water. After the completion of the construction, it is sealed and the cellar is sprayed with clean water 7-8 times to store water.

In addition, pay attention to use. For example, do not let weeds and debris flow into the cellar. After collecting the water, close the water channel and the cellar mouth. The cellar water can be used after purification for half a year. Add alum when drinking, and cover after water to prevent Rats fall in or other small animals and bird feces fall in (otherwise everyone will have to drink stinky water~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is water all year round to prevent dryness, eliminate silt in time, pay attention to water storage and so on.

Even in the age of ignorance, the Chinese already have a good solution for water shortage or bitterness. It is the water cellar that started in Qinchuan, and then spread to all of China, and then crossed the ocean to South China, and then to Malta. island.

Now with cement, things are easier!

Set up a water kiln, and with water, what you plant is half the battle!

Although the island of Malta is made of coral limestone, it is still somewhat muddy. The Chinese found the mud, or simply moved the reef with their hands, scooped the soil and held the sand, and tried planting repeatedly.

Yes, I planted wheat, melons and vegetables, and established a pigpen.

With careful care, the green crops are growing well, the pigs and the chickens are jumping, and the dogs are barking there.

The food ration problem was solved, a vegetable basket was established, and Chinese farmers abruptly turned the island of Malta into a livable place!
