Chapter 45 System Upgrade
become free!
What did they get after they were free?
A pile of bones!
At the edge of Crocodile Beach, you can see a pile of bones.
How many of the nearly 2,500 Chinese workers survived?
1821 people!
Almost one-third of the Chinese workers died in the mines. This was the fate of the Chinese workers.
No matter where they were, Chinese workers were treated like black slaves. They suffered all kinds of inhuman treatment and were persecuted to death. 70% of Chinese slaves died before completing their 8-year contract.
At this moment, facing the pile of bones at the crocodile beach, Zhu Xianhai's eyes were bursting with anger.
"Kill all the remaining white skins!"
Without any hesitation, Zhu Xianhai spoke directly.
“Leave no one behind!”
They had captured more than a dozen people alive in the mine. With this order, their fate was predictable.
Just do the same thing they did to the Chinese workers – throw them into the crocodile beach to feed the crocodiles.
What is justice? Of course, it is to treat others in their own way. This is the greatest justice in the world.
…
As the sun set, the "Anlis" finally sailed out of the estuary. Almost at the moment it entered the sea, Zhu Xianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Success!
Once you reach the sea, you can enjoy the vast sky and free space as birds fly.
No need to worry about the Brazilians’ counterattack anymore!
"Okay, Captain Luke, sail at full speed!"
Zhu Xianhai said with a long sigh of relief.
"Sir, what is our destination?"
"Biedma!"
Zhu Xianhai mentioned a place name.
"Biedma?"
Captain Luke didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, it is the Negro River south of Buenos Aires."
At this time Zhu Xianhai seemed particularly relaxed. The most difficult moment had passed. As long as the ship reached Biedma, everything would be over.
Viedma is in the southernmost part of Argentina, in fact, it is the southernmost part of Buenos Aires Province, which is also the place that Elizabeth chose for him on the map that night. The Argentina of this era is not the Argentina of later generations. The vast Pampas grasslands and the Patagonia Plateau are all unowned lands. To be precise, it is the last unowned land of the American continent in this era. Thanks to the tenacity of the Mapuche people, the Argentines have not conquered those areas until now. The current official territory of Argentina is not even one-third of that of later generations.
There was vast land there to accommodate the freed Chinese workers and slaves.
"Once we get there, the voyage will be almost over."
Zhu Xianhai smiled at the captain and said.
"I'll go to the cabin and rest for a while."
When leaving the bridge, there were people everywhere outside the cabin. Now, every place in the "Anlis" that could accommodate people was packed with people. In the cabin and on the deck, everyone could only sit down with difficulty. Even eating could only be done by sliding the food bucket over their heads using a zipline.
However, compared to the mine, this environment is still much better. At least they no longer need to worry about the supervisor's whip, and they no longer have whip scars on their bodies.
Everything is fine!
After returning to the cabin and lying on the bed, Zhu Xianhai felt a little sleepy as soon as he relaxed. However, before falling asleep, he summoned the system again.
"system."
As soon as the system was turned on, I saw the rewards given by the system.
[Avoid potential life-threatening situations and save others, experience points increased by 500. Obtain 1536 slaves, assets increased...]
Wow!
Slaves are actually considered assets!
"It's actually worth, one, ten, a hundred, a thousand... It's actually worth more than 1 million pesos. Doesn't this mean that I made... Well, cough, cough, you double-standard dog."
Zhu Xianhai coughed in a pretentious manner. This system is too hypocritical. Saving others is one thing, but on the other hand, the slaves are regarded as his assets. How hypocritical.
But such double standards...well, it's a machine!
[In view of the fact that the host successfully used the simulator to avoid six life-and-death crises and was willing to sacrifice himself for him, the life simulator is officially upgraded to Life Simulator 2.0. The upgrade begins...]
[update completed!]
…
This thing has actually been upgraded!
With his eyes wide open, although his heart was full of doubts, Zhu Xianhai was more curious about what new features the upgraded simulator would have. After all, the living environment in this era was really too harsh.
Neither a city like Buenos Eisley nor the wilderness of Brazil gave him a sense of security.
Simulator... this is a life-saving thing!
The most urgent task is to try to simulate it.
After all, what follows is a brand new journey!
…
[User Notice: Life Simulator 2.0 version no longer limits the number of times, and the free simulation function is cancelled. Each simulation will deduct corresponding experience points according to the length of the simulation time. The experience points are linked to the user's funds and have a wide range of uses. Please use with caution. In addition, after the system upgrade, the user's remaining free times will be retained. The current free times are: 4 times]
This...the public chapter has become paid!
In an instant, Zhu Xianhai was dumbfounded. Although he was a little confused, the benefits of the upgraded system still made him talk to himself.
"That's not bad, actually!"
The "Life Mall" that originally required a simulation to open has now been "lit up" and turned into a system benefit. Even the simplified version can be selected for the life simulation.
This made Zhu Xianhai breathe a sigh of relief.
The previous life simulation was clearly a simulation of "life experience". Who has ever tried to have diarrhea for five or six days in a row?
If it weren't for his knowledge of medical chemistry, Zhu Xianhai, who was infected with dysentery, would probably have died of diarrhea in the Amazon rainforest.
It’s better not to have that kind of experience.
[Wish you a pleasant use]
Following the system's reminder, the virtual screen once again showed the familiar interface to Zhu Xianhai. In addition to the option of "whether to conduct life simulation", the icon of "Life Mall" was already lit.
Although I am curious about what products are in the "Life Mall", the most important thing at the moment is probably to simulate the next stage of life.
“Would you like to conduct a life simulation?”
"yes."
After making the choice, the simulator started up. Soon, some words appeared in front of him.
…
[On November 19, 1860, the "Annies" arrived in Viedma, met up with Elizabeth, and continued to sail upstream, eventually anchoring 150 kilometers from the river mouth.]
[On November 20, you landed on the right bank of the Rio Negro and established the immigrant village "Nanhua". The initial population of the immigrant village was 3,372 (including 1,536 slaves)...]
[In April 1861, Nanhua had its first big harvest, reclaiming 73,856 acres of land.]
…
Outside Nanhua Town, beside the newly dug water diversion canal, Zhu Xianhai looked at the endless fields and said proudly.
"After this year's cotton harvest, it will definitely be sold at a good price."
This was inevitable. After all, the Civil War was about to break out, and the export of raw cotton from the United States almost stagnated, leaving many cotton textile mills in Britain and other European countries with no cotton to spin. The price of cotton in European countries rose wildly. In the next few years, cotton planting was definitely the most profitable industry.
As for food, it’s enough to eat. Besides, there is such a vast grassland here, so we can just raise cattle and eat meat!
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound like thunder in the distance, and then a billowing cloud of dust came from the western sky.
what is that?
It's the cavalry!
Thousands of cavalrymen...
