Wang Chuan drove the sailboat round and round on the river, and the more he played, the smoother he became, and then he directly controlled the sailboat to row between several canoes, as brisk as a bird. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The spirit has been crying out in the canoe for a long time. Wang Chuan controlled the speed, pulled her onto the sailboat, and taught her to drive. Although Ling was very disgusted with pouting her ass, under Wang Chuan's guidance, she quickly pouted her ass too, pulled the sailboat and turned her head around, and screamed loudly in her mouth.

When Wang Chuan and Ling were practicing in the river, the riverbank was full of people at some point. Even my mother came.

They were in awe and amazed at Wang Chuan's new invention. They don't know what this thing is for. Except for those who have been to the wolf's den, who feel that they can get to the wolf's den faster, everyone else is instinctively in awe of this unknown thing. Although they knew that Wang Chuan was almost omnipotent, this kind of thing that could run so fast in the water still gave them a great impact.

Wang Chuan was almost exhausted before he stopped the boat and docked. Teaching others or something, it's much more tiring than playing by yourself. The spirit is not satisfied, and wants to play a little longer. It wasn't until the boat stopped that she realized that the shore was full of people.

When Wang Chuan came ashore, his mother immediately waved to his side, and then looked around angrily, and the people around him, whether they were clansmen or slaves, adults or children, knelt down in awe. Grandma slammed the cane in her hand and said, "Elder Chuan has been instructed by my father to invent this boat, and all the fish and shrimp on this big river can become your food in the future...... You should honor him...... His words are my words, and if you are disrespectful, don't blame me for using the rules......"

Wang Chuan stood crying and laughing, but he knew that this was when his mother was showing him prestige, and she was also fiddling with her.

Of course, the significance of this sailboat is not only to catch more fish and shrimp. Wang Chuan just roughly estimated the speed of this sailboat, and when it is fast, it is okay to reach a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Although this is nothing for windsurfing that can travel at speeds of forty or fifty kilometers in later generations. But in prehistory, it was already able to do a lot of things.

Here to the wolf's den stronghold, but about 20 kilometers, if the wind and water are smooth, you can get there. It is only about 100 kilometers to the old site of the fishy department, and it can be reached in one day. If you go out along the river, it used to take ten days to get to the confluence of the Taijiang River, but now you can get there in one or two days. In this way, almost the entire Yeyuan River is included in the one-day activity circle of the River Tribe, and as long as there are enough people, this river is its own sphere of influence. If there are more people, control of the Yangtze River is just around the corner.

In the crowd, Wang Fan and the kneeling hearts were convinced. After his mother's instruction was finished, Wang Fan kowtowed and said that he didn't dare to use the name Fan or rob Wang Chuan of his credit. Mother thought about it and remembered that his previous name was Oxtail, so she changed the name of Ox Fan to him. Keeping the sail word is also a commendation.

In the future, this Wang Fan will become a bull sail. It sounds a little more coaxing than Wang Fan. Of course, changing the good name to this, Wang Chuan said that he was drunk. However, looking at Niu Fan's stupid and happy appearance, he should be very satisfied with the name.

The black back followed: "I suspected that Elder Chuan was ignited by the divine dragon, and I was terrified, so I begged to follow Elder Chuan, and let Elder Chuan drive me, even if I was willing to be a slave for a lifetime." ”

Following him or something, Wang Chuan thought he wanted to go out to sea to see the whales. But it's good if people have hope, and Wang Chuan won't break him.

Mother said: "As long as you work diligently, you will naturally not be treated badly." ”

After all this turmoil, it was almost dark. Niu Fan was still ready to learn how to sail, but Wang Chuan had no strength to teach him, so he could only wait until tomorrow.

After a day of experimentation, Wang Chuan found many problems. Hurry back and write it down, and prepare to process it slowly in the later stage.

For example, if there is a balance board under the bottom of the boat, it cannot be dragged ashore directly in shallow water. Gotta find a proper dock. For example, the hull of this ship is still too heavy. The method of opening the cabin to add buoyancy is not very good. Because when the ship is turned sideways, the cabin is easy to get into the water, which can easily increase the weight of the ship, reduce the speed of the ship, and even sink the ship.

Finally, the biggest problem is that this sailboat is a windsurf improvement and has little load capacity. At most, it can be used as a competition, a small-scale assault or communication ship, to achieve what large-scale load and combat, I am afraid it is unlikely.

The docked dock, Wang Chuan let people build it the next day. The draught of this small sailing ship was not deep, so there was not much construction. Find a suitable deep pond on the bank of the river, dig the place of the riverbank, nail stakes in it, lay a trestle with logs, and build a simple wharf.

There are many deficiencies on the sailing ship, and Wang Chuan is ready to change it on the newly built sailing ship in the later period. The existing one is kept for practice and not modified.

Wang Chuan asked Niu Fan to practice in the morning and evening, and follow him and Wubei to build a new ship the rest of the time. In addition to the two of them, Wang Chuan also sent two other carpenters to help. This is considered a basic shipbuilding team.

Though they have made one. But none of them have the kind of talent that can be remembered once instructed. So Wang Chuan had to participate in the whole process.

The most important thing in prehistory should be wood. In the pile of wood that the tribesmen had cut down, there were still a lot of large dried logs. Therefore, the new ship is still cut directly from logs.

Drawing on the experience of the last time, this time the ship is thinner than the previous one. The interior is still digging out of the cabin. But the cabin is not empty. Wang Chuan glued a lot of animal skin airbags with fish glue and stuffed them into the cabin one by one. Then cut out the corresponding sealing wood to trap these airbags. In this way, the cabin is almost hollow. Even if it gets water, it won't get much. Greatly increased buoyancy. In this way, it became more similar to the windsurfing boards of later generations.

However, since it is not used for transportation, it is not a big problem to have no cabin.

Besides. Wang Chuan replaced the wooden mast with a bamboo one. Bamboo is hollow, which can reduce a lot of weight. The flexibility of bamboo is good, and it is not a big problem to make such a low mast.

In order to avoid problems such as brittleness and cracking of the bamboo, Wang Chuan used the method of smearing it with salt water and then smoking and roasting it, and processed the bamboo. The bamboo processed in this way has better toughness and is not easy to break.

Sail Wang Chuan also wants to improve. Cowhide that has not been nitrated is not only heavy, but also too hard. It's not a good material for sailing. The solution that Wang Chuan came up with was to replace it with sackcloth. Use three or four layers of linen into a sheet, and then apply tung oil, the effect should be good. But now only a little linen cloth is not enough to wear. Tung oil is not available in autumn. So I'll leave this one alone.

As for the problem of increasing the load, there is no way to solve this ship. Wang Chuan planned that if there were five such sailing ships, there would be no more such sailing ships. This is mainly for everyone to practice sailing. At present, Wang Chuan is planning to rebuild this boat with a boat after completing it. In this way, if there is no wind on the race day, you can also let the bull sail rocking the race.

When the shipbuilders were skilled, Wang Chuan was ready to make a serious sailboat. The problem of load is left to these sailboats. The wind in this area of the Taijiang River is not too strong, and when the sailboat is loaded on the oar, it should be able to cross the sea.

Just as the second sailboat was in full swing, Bihu came back with the harvest of this market. (To be continued.) )
