They were still under construction and probably didn't expect to erect a lighthouse. Hundreds of people were busy.
No, they weren't busy now. They were all looking up at the sky.
A drone was flying in the sky. There was movement and buzzing. Even if it was a small black dot, they still had to look at it.
They didn't see the yacht. It was far away, more than 20 miles away.
"I thought it was nostalgia for my hometown, but it turns out that I was being sentimental." Li Yi chuckled and relaxed.
It had nothing to do with sadness. They were living normally.
According to the information, there were still many unfinished buildings. It depended on the material.
Some volcanic rocks were lighter than water, which meant that they could be dragged away and put on a boat.
Shouldn't the locals be allowed to think about putting more statues in that place in Chile?
From Li Yi's analysis, they were definitely stupid. It was impossible to succeed because of the ocean currents and wind direction.
But they could be transported to the place behind. This island was a processing base.
Why did they cut so much wood? Didn't they need ships for ocean trade?
Why didn't they plant more? They were planting and cutting at the same time?
What did they think this tribe was? Did they know how to raise silkworms? Could they burn Tang Sancai? Did they have so many medicinal herbs?
It meant that this tribe's technology was not enough. Otherwise, how could the stone statues carved in the later years be so simple?
If they asked the craftsmen of the Tang dynasty to carve a 20-meter-tall stone statue made of light stone in the shape of Easter Island, no matter how many craftsmen's heads were chopped off.
Not to mention the craftsmen, even the apprentices would be too ashamed to live if they carved it like that.
"It's a pity that they didn't carve it now. Am I early? Wen Tian, remember, our Tang dynasty is now enough to look down on the world. "
Li Yi naturally put his hand on Princess Yongmu's shoulder. Princess Yongmu tilted her head slightly.
Xiao Lan stepped to the other side of Li Yi and looked at the sea. "We have to build a bigger boat. Otherwise, it will shake too much and we won't be able to stand steadily."
"Li Lang, hold Xiao Lan. Don't let her shake." Princess Yongmu also looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside.
Li Yi put his other hand over. Xiao Lan shrank her neck and narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon.
In an instant, warmth filled the captain's cabin. Tranquility, heartbeat, sweetness …
"Master, should I check their pulse after we get on the island?" A clear child's voice broke the mirror-like 'shackles'.
Li Yi took a deep breath, "Qing Dai, do you believe that I will expel you from the sect?"
"Master, I just remembered that I still have a medicine that I haven't finished preparing. I'm leaving now!" The little girl's voice rang out as she disappeared into the distance.
"Hahahaha …" "Hahahaha …" The three of them laughed together.
Then, Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan both leaned their heads against Li Yi's chest and listened attentively.
The natives on the island were not at ease. They realized that the flying thing was getting closer and closer to them.
Then, several languages rang out. They could vaguely understand two of them, while they understood the other one completely.
"We're from the Tang dynasty. My name is Feng Qingdai. I'm catching fish for you. I'll be there in a while. You can talk to me and let me know which one is right. None of you, ah, none of you can understand this sentence at all.
Well, wait for me to go up first. What should I talk to you about? It's useless, right?
Shout a few words. If you understand what I'm saying, shout a few words. Shout loudly. "
The drone approached them, and a crisp female voice came from it.
"Who are you?" A person on the ground shouted. That was what it meant when translated.
The others followed and shouted to drown out the drone's buzzing.
"I know, you can speak. We're from the Tang dynasty …"
The little girl didn't look at the herbs at all because there were no herbs to be processed.
She snatched the remote control from the craftsman's hand and tried to communicate with the natives using the several languages she had learned along the way.
She really found a language. She controlled the drone to land on a tree … No, not a tree, but a stone.
The drone circled around the tree, so it was absolutely impossible to land. It would easily get stuck.
She used the remaining capacity of the battery to communicate with the natives and told them what to do. In a while, her boat would sail over and there would be a lot of fish and prawns.
The natives didn't know that the person communicating with them was a little girl, so they really listened.
It couldn't be helped. It was just like Li Yi's people when they saw an alien spaceship.
First, communicate, then see if the other party's request would hurt them. If not, they could do it first.
The natives went to find firewood for the fire.
This was not a loss to them. If others didn't come, they could still cook.
"Let's take a saw and make a big stone statue, at least ten feet tall. Tie it with a rope and use a yacht to pull it in the sea. The stone isn't heavy.
Divide it into small pieces, pile it up, and carve it as a whole. It doesn't need to be too realistic.
In the future, when we build a lighthouse, we need a lighthouse guard. Sometimes, it's one or two people.
But we can build the lighthouse into a continuous house and let every tribe on the island maintain it together. "
Li Yi began to think about the future. He didn't care about small profits.
If he only had a wooden sailboat for himself, he would have schemed against others in order to gain more profits from the trade.
Now, he represented the Tang dynasty. His position was different, so naturally, he had to consider different things.
"Are our people guarding it?" Princess Yongmu was in a dilemma. She didn't worry about others, but she felt that it was too cruel to leave her people here.
"The lighthouse isn't just for us to use. We provide the technology. Everyone on the island wants to have a lighthouse, but they don't have a clear idea of what a lighthouse is."
Li Yi had long realized that every inhabited island would want to make a conspicuous sign.
They knew how to sail, so they knew to have an obvious sign to guide them.
It was especially important at night, but they didn't have the ability.
Without electricity, they didn't have more oil to light the lamp. They were still living in the era of keeping fire.
Fire wasn't so easy to obtain.
Just as many people didn't want to talk about what to use to wipe their buttocks in the toilet, fire was also selectively ignored in survival.
In the villages of the Tang dynasty, there were people who borrowed fire. If their own fire sickles didn't work, they would borrow fire from others.
There were also people who borrowed kitchen knives, rice, flour, salt, oil, and firewood.
Those who lived a better life would borrow flour as fertilizer. If there was no yeast, they would ask in the village or in the square who had recently eaten flour.
Usually, they would leave some flour to ferment. They were afraid that it would ferment too much, so they sprinkled some flour outside.
If they wanted steamed buns, they would borrow some flour to ferment faster.
The same was true for the lighthouse fire. In the absence of kerosene, it was best to burn firewood. Obviously, it wasn't easy to use, right?
"We'll provide kerosene, diesel, and lights for free. The lighthouse has to be built in the periphery where the reefs are the densest."
Li Yi was in the captain's room holding the mouse and operating the keyboard to draw the lighthouse on the big screen. He explained as he drew.
"Li Lang, what if they take the oil and keep it for themselves?" Princess Yongmu was worried again.
