A delicious meal of stir-fried sea sausage and fried razor clams that you have to eat even your tongue is a farewell feast for Yu Le and others.

After repeatedly telling the few women who stayed at home to pay attention to safety, Yu Lecai took people and hung up the sails and left.

Took away two wolf dogs, Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Wu.

Two spears were also taken.

Various tools.

A lifeboat.

There are also two or three days of dry food.

……

The galleons took advantage of the wind to take the northern channel upstream.

Because of the countercurrent and the unreasonable design of the sails, the Bernoulli effect was not used very well, so the boat went very slowly.

The big ship first crossed to the shore of Chongming Island.

Then stick to the shore of the island, a distance of more than 100 meters from the shore, and slowly sail upward.

The waves are steady.

The women were fine, they all hid in the shady cabin and shook their fans.

Li Zhi walked up from the stern of the boat, walked to Yu Le's side, and sighed: "This boat is going against the trend, and the speed is a little slow. In the past, when I was downwind at sea, it felt quite fast. ”

Yu Le said: "Yes." Our sails are not big enough, and the design is not very reasonable, and the Bernoulli effect is not very well used. ”

Li Zhidao: "I heard that a good sailboat can reach a speed of more than ten or twenty knots per hour, which is really a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day." At this speed, at most, three or four knots, an hour, we can walk five or six kilometers. ”

Yu Le lifted the bamboo paddle in the water, turned his head to look at him, and said, "I have an idea, our boat is made of materials cut in the spring today." This kind of bamboo material, without anti-corrosion processing, the service life is about a year, and it is estimated that it will not be used until the spring of the next year. ”

"So I thought, if we go into the mountains this time, if we find good bamboo, we will make a new one before we set off next year. The sail was then redesigned to make it more suitable for walking on inland rivers. ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Indeed! Shen Juan said that she can weave cloth, so then we will ask her to help weave a few more sails and use cloth." By the way, you said to find bamboo, can't we use the bamboo on our island?"

Yu Le shook his head and said: "That is water bamboo material, the meat wall is not thick enough, and the caliber is not thick enough, we have to find a big bamboo material to work." ”

……

The sailboat sailed until evening, and had not yet crossed the seventy or eighty kilometer-long island.

Chongming Island, as the third largest island in China, is really not small.

Before, Yu Le took Tian Qiuqiu and Kexin, and wanted to go around the island to inspect the environment.

But after reacting, I was discouraged.

Such a large sand island, if you row it with a lifeboat, you can't turn around for three or four days!

In the original world, this island was home to nearly a million people, so you can imagine how big it must be!

It was a dream that Yu Le and the others wanted to check the environment of such a large island, so they only went around Changxing Island opposite Hengsha Island and returned abruptly.

Seeing that it was dark and could not cross the island, Yu Le commanded people to stop the boat and dock for the night.

Stop at a small bay with calm water.

Before leaving, Yu Le discussed it with Li Zhi.

On this trip into the mountains, I will continue to go along the river, looking for the resources I need on the land side of the river, and I will never abandon the boat and go by land.

The main purpose of this is to ensure everyone's personal safety.

In this world where strange beasts are rampant, there are only rivers and lakes, which can effectively isolate the attacks of fierce beasts and ensure everyone's safety.

If you go deep into the land and there are no ships to give you shelter in time, you will not be able to protect yourself with guns.

In total, I only brought more than 100 rounds of ammunition out of the house, and if I encountered a large herd of beasts and ran out of 100 bullets, what would I do? Do you hit people in the head with the butt of a gun? Or poke them in the butt with the barrel of a gun?

Another consideration is that even if you enter the hinterland and find resources, there are no ships to do transportation, and it is unrealistic to rely on manual transportation.

The only ones who can contribute are Yu Le and Li Zhi. Other women, can they be expected to carry the weight?

Yu Le believes that the entire Yangtze River basin, the fertile alluvial plains on both sides, including the land banks of the various tributaries, will be able to find what they need.

For safety reasons, the team also decided not to go ashore for camping.

All the way, I ate and lived on this big boat more than ten meters long and two and a half meters wide.

In this way, even if a fierce beast attacks the camp at night, untie the cable and float the boat to the center of the river, no matter what Tyrannosaurus rex or dinosaur is, all of them have to stare dryly on the shore.

If they have the ability, they will swim out and bite!

I don't believe that this kind of land beast can still be murderous in the river!

With their tonnage, they went down to the river more than ten meters deep, and they had the ability to do it if they didn't feed Wang Ba.

When he was sailing in the past, he hadn't received Li Zhishi yet, because the population was relatively small, Yu Le had this idea.

At that time, Yu Le also knew that there were fierce beasts on the shore, and it was not safe to spend the night on the shore, so he could not run back to the boat in time to take refuge when he was in distress.

It's a pity that the conditions didn't allow it at that time.

The waves on the seashore are high, and the boat is rocking all day long, and sleeping in this environment, the sleeping environment will definitely not be good. In addition, the tide rises and falls every day, and the ship will run aground.

This is not the case in inland rivers.

Inland rivers, as long as they are not flooded, are generally stable. There are many small bays, and the water is very stable, and the boat is parked in these places, which is the same as the living environment on land.

The natural rain and sun protection cabin also saves the time of setting up a camp, and you can squeeze out an extra two hours every day for traveling.

A few pieces of wood were erected in the cabin, and the bed board was made of bamboo chips, and then covered with leather cushions, and it was a comfortable bed.

Brought a coal stove and set aside an area dedicated to boiling water for cooking.

On the stern of the boat, it is a natural and convenient place for excretion, no matter how big or small, as soon as it is discharged, it will be pushed away by the river, clean and hygienic.

As for drinking fresh water?

Isn't the fresh water of the entire river enough to drink, and in this unexplored planet, there is still a fear of pollution! (this...... If you take water from the bow of the boat, you don't have to worry about drinking water that you have polluted. ）

Therefore, in addition to anchoring the ship, the task of docking every day is to go ashore to find food and resources.

In terms of food, in fact, it can also be obtained on the water, but eating aquatic products every day will also be greasy, so it is necessary to go ashore to look for wild goods, wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Tie up the boat and leave Li Zhi and the women to cook on the boat.

Yu Le carried a gun himself, took Fei Fei's girl and Zhuangzhuang, and went into the forest.

This island was originally intended to be led by Kexin and Tian Qiuqiu to find out. As a result, my cousin Lu Lin told me the actual situation and vividly described the size of the island, so I was directly frightened and didn't dare to go.

Lu Lin said at the time: Hong Kong Island is an international metropolis, you know, there are seven or eight million people living on it. But compared to the area, it is a little smaller than this Chongming Island.

Well, now Yu Le can vividly understand how big this island is.

And I really can't do it, living on Hengsha Island, I can't come to this big island to find food.

Lu Lin also said that it stands to reason that if there are dinosaurs on this island, with such an island area, it can form a complete ecosystem, which is enough for dinosaurs to thrive on it.

Now that I finally have a chance to come here, of course Yu Le doesn't want to let it go, so he wants to go up and take a turn.

In fact, he just wanted to go into the forest to see if there were any hares to catch.
