Chapter 207: Treasured Divine Tree

Xiao Mo's new method is definitely time-saving and labor-saving, the larger the volume of the ship, the greater the buoyancy will be, and the greater the number of sacred trees that can be salvaged at the same time.

The two building ships of Sihailou and Xiaoxiang Pavilion are not as good as the cruise ships and cargo ships of later generations, but the volume of these two building ships is not small, at least in terms of shipbuilding technology in this year, such building ships basically belong to the largest category.

And these two building ships also have an advantage, that is, the internal space is huge. For the flexibility and practicality of ordinary warships, there will be many internal modifications and weapons accumulation to be more suitable for the use of warships.

However, the building boats of Sihailou and Xiaoxiang Pavilion, except for the specific drumming and flower picking every year, are usually basically decorations, and occasionally used to swim in the river, open a meeting or something. Since they are all used to hold people and amusement, the internal space is naturally much larger than that of warships of the same size.

Although it takes some time to repeatedly enter and exit a cart of bluestone, every time the waterline of the building ship changes, it means that there will be dozens of complete or half-rotten sacred trees leaving the silt at the same time. In this way, the relative work efficiency is not comparable to yesterday.

Later, basically a round can be completed in the time of half a pillar of incense, and after a few rounds, a building ship will be docked to transport Shenmu to the government. In this way, in the morning, the boat had already entered the center near the tributary, and the wooden bridges along the way were also dismantled.

The construction of these wooden bridges is extremely simple, easy to disassemble, and just as easy to assemble, so that when the salvage work is completed, it will be no problem to reassemble it. And when there are no branches at the bottom of the river, boats can be sailed on both sides, and whether the wooden bridge needs to be reinstalled or not is not necessarily.

During lunch, Xiao Mo had to break the bank again, but he was a group of powerful people, and he was so cheeky.

It's just that Xiao Mo watched all the powerful people eating a boxed lunch and praised them so much, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel refreshed in his heart, and a sense of superiority arose.

The salvage work reached the center of the tributary channel, but it was a little difficult.

In the center of the tributary, there are quite a lot of people on both sides of the river, and it is no longer like the entrance where dozens of carts of big bluestones can be placed on the shore at will, and some people even have the river at the door.

Moreover, the width of the water in this central section should not be matched, and it is really difficult for Xiao Mo to use buoyancy to take the Divine Tree. Moreover, the water depth in this central section is also a lot deeper, and it is really impossible to dive down to find the sacred tree in the silt and tie it with a thick hemp rope.

There are so many difficulties, and the corresponding nature also has its benefits.

The water in the center of the river is steady, the silt is deep, and the possibility of drying up is very small, and the waters here may not be exhausted for tens of thousands of years, if not longer.

Moreover, the banks of this central section are very stable, unlike the two ends of this tributary, where the river may be diverted and the trees on both sides of the river may be washed away. After Xiao Mo's observation, it is not difficult to find that the trees on both sides of this central section are generally much older.

According to these phenomena, Xiao Mo felt that thousands of years ago, when there were no people on both sides of this tributary, it is very likely that there were older trees and precious species in the central section of this tributary. In other words, it is likely that more precious and even rare sacred trees will appear here.

It is impossible for others to fully know Xiao Mo's thoughts, but none of the people present are stupid, who can not know some of the principles, and everyone is looking forward to it at this moment.

People are such strange creatures, they will doubt and guess before they see the treasures, and when they see the treasures, they will sigh and marvel, and then before long, they will expect better treasures to appear. Such a desire is a normal thing in any era.

Due to the special situation in the central section of this tributary, the salvage work was naturally slowed down. Not only for the integrity and quality of Shenmu, but also because the method of using buoyancy is indeed difficult to use at this time, and a cart of bluestone up and down is naturally much slower under the situation of many people on both sides of the strait.

When those real water experts tied up the sacred trees at the bottom of the river, and the truckloads of bluestone began to be transported out of the building boat, it was the time when it was really critical.

Xiao Mo didn't care at all what kind of divine wood would come out next, anyway, the total value of the divine wood that had already been taken out was enough for Xiao Mo to make up the military expenses. And Xiao Mo knew from the beginning that this divine tree could not belong to him, and it would be very good to be able to reward himself with one or two trees in the end, and the rest would be handed over to the treasury in addition to being auctioned. Xiao Mo had expectations in his heart, so naturally he didn't have any expectations for Shenmu.

But Quan Zhi'an is different from the other powerful people, the more this rare and precious divine tree appears, the more chance they have to obtain it. Even if there is a treasure sacred tree for auction in the end, it will be a big profit for them.

Even if the family only gets a little bit of the treasure god wood in the end, it is excellent to use it as a small ornament to hang on the body. The 10,000-year-old divine tree already has the divine effect of channeling and prolonging life, and the effect of this precious 10,000-year-old divine tree will naturally only be better.

At this time, the salvage workload of the two building ships is naturally impossible to be the same as before, and the environmental conditions determine that it is impossible to salvage so many sacred trees at the same time, and the number of salvage has been reduced by more than half by Xiao Mo.

With the truckload of big bluestone being shipped out, the waterline of the building boat dropped, and the thick hemp rope was tightened. Slowly, the first loose hemp rope came to pass, followed by one loosening after another.

Then the soldier in charge of pulling it immediately pulled the sacred tree that had been exposed to the mud and quickly pulled it upstairs to the boat.

It's good that this divine tree is not pulled up, but when it is pulled up, everyone is surprised when they see those divine trees. These divine trees, the most inferior ones are all complete 10,000-year-old divine trees, and the slightly better ones are already as good as stones, shiny and shiny.

There are a few more, and the color is no longer black like ordinary sacred trees, but purple-black or gold-black. Just from this color, you can see that these sacred trees are definitely precious tree species when they are native trees. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to become like this.

When such a number of sacred trees are salvaged, the atmosphere of the scene is completely different. Such a precious sacred tree, which powerful person doesn't want to have it?

And this is only at the edge of the central section of the tributary, and the most central Shenmu has not yet been moved.

The magnates naturally felt that the more they went to the center, the more they would cherish it, and after looking at the lower edge area, they took out the sacred tree that could be called a treasure, and naturally looked forward to the next work.

Only Xiao Mo himself knows that the appearance of this divine tree will not follow such a law, or even no law at all. Because no one knows where the sacred tree in the silt of the river will be after so many years of water flow. Maybe there is not a single sacred tree in the middle of the water in the center of the tributary. (To be continued.) )
