Chapter 194: The Iron Ship Appears

Although Wei Minsheng's dock is more than 10 meters deep below the water surface, most of the current Yangtze River waterways are not so deep, and many places are only seven or eight meters long, and there is a large amount of river sand at the bottom of the river, and in some places it is even only five or six meters long.

In the current situation, a 3,000-ton cargo ship is no more, no less, just right.

Although the dock had been repaired, the hard granite edge could easily cause damage to the cargo ship, so Wei Minsheng hung some waste tires on both sides of the dock.

These waste tires are not even as good as garbage for a small county town without a wharf and port, and when I heard that the Minsheng Company needed a hundred and ten, I wished to give them all to them, so as not to occupy space.

Use these worthless things to get in touch with this fast-growing company, and maybe you can do a few business, after all, there is a lot of competition in all walks of life.

But these things that are not as good as garbage are the top cushioning materials for another world, and even those wooden boats have the idea of buying a few from Huaxia Villa and tying them to the side, so that they are no longer afraid of those not very violent collisions.

And when everything was quiet, Wei Minsheng had quietly put the cargo ship into the dock.

Before dawn, a worker who had risen early to release the water was so frightened by the huge figure in the dock that he crawled back to the shed, and then, led by a few brave men, determined that it was a ship.

As a result, the news of the appearance of a huge ship in the dock instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the workers near the dock, and all the people lost their sleepiness and flocked to the dock in an exclamation.

The more than 70-meter-long hull has exceeded the length of the largest five-tooth tower ship of this era, but there are no small rowing windows on both sides of the hull that everyone expects, and there are no five-story wooden buildings on it.

"Oh my God! This boat is much larger than our house, how many people do you need to row such a big boat? ā€

"It doesn't matter if you go down the river, but if such a big ship wants to go upstream, how many people have to pull the fiber to pull it up."

An old man who was originally ferrying at this Zigui Wharf cautiously approached the big boat that was swaying slightly in the river water, and the coldness of his hand made his eyes tighten, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "God, this boat is made of iron?" ā€

"Made of iron?"

Under the hazy starlight, the huge figure in the middle of the dock is a little blurred, giving people the feeling that it is big.

But the old boatman's words once again subverted everyone's cognition, there were some rumors in the past, this dock is for an iron ship, but the "iron ship" that everyone knows should be at most a ship covered with a layer of iron on the surface, which is already the limit of what they can imagine.

Because only wood can float on the water, and the heavy iron does not have the ability to do this.

But the old boatman had just said that he was "made of iron", not "the ship was covered with a layer of iron", which subverted the limits of their imagination.

"Is it really a ship made of iron? But why does it float on the water? ā€

A blacksmith from Zigui City said sluggishly: "But how did such a large iron ship be built?" ā€

He couldn't imagine how big a stove he would have to use to fit the ship, and how many blacksmiths would have to be needed to build it at the same time.

"And the two-story house in the back, it must be a place to live, bigger than the four iron houses in the villa, and there is no problem at all to live dozens of people. But why not build it all up? ā€

"Maybe this ship is too sinking, after all, it is made of iron, and if you build a few stories of houses on it, you are not afraid of sinking it."

"Look at that huge pit in the middle, is it a place to put things? If you don't have a ladder, you won't be able to climb up if you fall! ā€

Everyone was pointing around the strange iron ship, and even forgot that they hadn't eaten breakfast yet......

Under the command of Yang Yong, several handymen came to the cargo ship through the gangplank, threw the cable with the thickness of the baby's arm to the shore, and the people on the shore hurriedly caught it, and hundreds of people helped to work together to slowly bring the cargo ship to the shore.

With everyone's efforts, it took more than half an hour to fix the cable on the bollard.

In the past, when installing those bollards to dig pits, everyone was a little puzzled, isn't it the bollards, it is necessary to dig such a big pit, and then it will have to be filled back.

As a result, these big pits were really filled in, but they were filled with some paste-like things mixed with river sand, gravel, etc., and some steel was buried in them.

Everyone has already touched this concrete, and we know that this seemingly mud-like thing will become extremely hard after a while, but what are these things you buryed, a few iron rods about the thickness of a big finger, and some small boats are nothing, but can they hold the big boats?

Besides, how many loops of rope can be wrapped around this finger-high iron rod? Even if there are some lines on it, but after all, it is only a little longer than a finger, and it slides out with a light lift of the rope, can it be tied to the boat?

As a result, when the dump trucks pulled in those so-called "bollards", everyone on the dock was taken by surprise.

Is this a bollard? It's just a piece of iron at all, okay?

It wasn't until those bollards were bolted to the dock with the help of an excavator that everyone realized that the things that had been buried before were the "roots" of this bollard.

If you want to pull out these "roots" made of steel, ordinary ships do not have this ability, and there is almost no possibility of such thick iron piers being pulled off.
