The tree-cutting team was divided into two, one with nine people and the other with seven people, Higg led the team with many people, he looked at Avanti's brave and invincible appearance, and felt that it was a major mistake that he didn't bring Dumb over, and he must go back and call Dumb over at night.

Stern and Avanti were in the group with fewer people, and he quickly swung his axe to chop through the low bushes and make a path to the bottom of the mountain. There were a lot of troubles in the process of cutting down the trees, and it took a lot of time to solve those problems, and it took a dozen people to move a total of four trees to the foot of the mountain in one afternoon, and it seemed that it would take several days to save up the total amount of teak for shipbuilding.

The next day, Higg brought in Dumb, which appropriately relieved the team of some pressure, and the progress was much faster. Since everyone began to cut down trees, Xiao Ash will bring Lindsay over early in the morning, Lindsay comes once a day, and every time she will bring all the food of the day and put it in the bamboo building, and everyone will go directly to the bamboo building to eat after stopping the work in hand, and the dwarves do not have high requirements for food, and the dining problem is so simply solved.

Lately, Sia has been hiking to the shore every morning to say hello to them, and he is doing endurance training according to Stern's requirements, and Stern tells him to teach him some combat skills as long as the endurance training is up to the requirements, so he trains hard every day.

After five days of dark felling, the amount of teak had reached the amount needed for shipbuilding, and Stern had the dwarves peel off the bark and make planks of the corresponding thickness according to his requirements, and then use wood planers to process the planks into finished planks with flat edges, all of which were delicate tasks that would take a long time to do with the present process.

After making a few samples of the planks, Stern and Higg returned to the hills together, where they had to make a size-matching model of the nails according to the size of the sample of the planks, which were needed to build a boat. After two days of nailing, Stern took two large iron basins and several barrels from the shipwreck, and returned to the east coast with Higg.

When building wooden ships on Earth, in order to prevent water leakage in the gaps between the planks, the surface of the hull was usually coated with tung oil several times, but now that there is no tung oil, Stern is ready to replace it with gelled tree sap. The gelling sap cooked over fire will solidify like glass glue soon after cooling, and it will definitely not be worse than tung oil when applied to the hull with it. There are many cementitious trees in the mountains on the side, and you can directly use local materials.

After the nails were ready, the dwarves spliced the finished timber into planks of the required size according to Stern's requirements, and after the planks were ready, Stern brushed the front and back of the planks twice with boiled gelatinous sap, so that a waterproof bilge floor was ready, and it took four days to make such a baseboard, and Stern had to lay three layers of such a base plate on the bottom of the ship, which took about ten days, and two layers of side plates on the side of the ship, so that it took about a month to make the shape of a ship.

During this month, Stern did not work himself, but instructed the dwarves in their work, during which time Sia came to the coast every day to receive Stern's teachings, he was a very aura young man, and he could quickly remember every movement that Stern taught, and after nearly a month of targeted training in Stern's hands, his strength had been improved from intermediate warrior to senior warrior.

Now he has made a qualitative leap compared to before in terms of strength and skills, and he is already one of the best among the dwarves. On this day, Higg and Sia stood opposite each other, and the father and son were about to start a competition of strength......

The two faced each other empty-handed, "Xia, you have to be careful" Hig reminded Xia, after saying that, his figure protruded, and a straight fist in his right hand smashed Xia's face door, as soon as he shot it was a straight move, Xia dodged the attack sideways, and at the same time grabbed Higer's attacking right hand and pulled forward, Hig couldn't help but staggered forward and rushed.

Hig stopped his body and grabbed Xia's shoulders with both hands, trying to knock him down, but Sia bent down, grabbed Xia's right hand with both hands, and his body came to Hig's back in a roundabout, at this time Higg's right hand had been reversed and stuck on his back and could not move.

"Don't fight, this guy has stiff wings now, and he has learned to bully Abba, it's really not big or small, but Brother Andy's moves are really powerful." These moves are the most basic moves that Stern taught Thea, and he defeated Higg, the most powerful dwarven clan, with such moves alone, and was simply subdued by Sia for two consecutive rounds, Hig didn't want to make a fool of himself again, but he still admired the moves that Stern taught Thea, and he was happy that Thea could be taught by Stern.

The master led the door to practice in person, and then Stern stopped teaching Xia, and let him practice and explore by himself, and Xia also insisted on running to the coast and back to the hills every day, every day such a back and forth, and constantly improving in endurance, I believe that he will become a very good fighter in the future, because human potential is unlimited.

After more than a month, there was still a small side panel in the shape of the hull that was not installed, leaving a gap, and the dwarves had to move the materials into the ship through the gap to make a cabin, Stern planned to make eight cabins, six of which were small cabins, and the other two were slightly larger, large enough to barely fit the little ash in, mainly to prevent the sinking of the ship from leaking.

If there are only two or three large cabins, once the leakage ship will definitely roll over, although the hull is very firm with cementitious sap, but it is still necessary to make more preparations to prevent accidents. It took another two and a half months to prepare the cabin and rudder, cover the deck, erect the masts, and install the side panels, so that the hull shape was roughly completed.

Now that the hull is ready, the next step is to fix the canvas and install the cables, the canvas is made of linen canvas handmade by dwarven women, and the cables are also made of linen rope, which may be a little rougher, but it will still work, and it also has the advantage that it does not absorb water, and it dries quickly after the wind blows after a heavy rain, and Higg asked the dwarven women who can weave cloth from linen to do it two months ago.

Higg and Stern returned to the hill and inquired about the progress of the canvas, and the leading dwarven woman led them to the cave where the canvas was made, and saw that there were two pieces of canvas neatly stacked on top of the haystack in the cave, and they were only required to make one, but they made two of them for the sake of safety, and several bundles of rope were piled up on the side, which was sufficient. After getting their things, they hurried back to the shore and went on to do the unfinished business.
