Chapter 217: The Boat Goes Across the Shore
Finally, after sending Kong Long away and waiting for someone, Yao Ran's mood improved, when they can learn and when they can come back, it doesn't all depend on Yao Ran's mood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Kong Long's ideas angered Yao Ran a little, but Yao Ran is not ready to be a tyrant now, and the matter of cutting off his head if he disagrees is still not valid in the thinking of this modern person.
A large number of construction tools, labor tools were transported from Canglong City to the Steppe Fortress. The alpacas of the original grassland fortress were transferred by Yao Ran, and fifty horses were sent to the blast furnace camp. Originally a sparsely populated place, the Grassland Fortress instantly became the most populous place in Yao Ran's territory.
Yao Ran took a large number of unmarried women from the original grassland tribe, as well as children who were close to adulthood, to Canglong City. Leave a bunch of construction tasks and planting tasks for the fire. Of course, with the cooperation of Yao Gu, I believe that these are not difficult things.
The main thing is to continue to catch alpacas and other mammals that can be tamed in the grasslands. Yao Ran learned from the villagers of the grassland tribe that some of them had begun to milk the alpaca milk, but the taste could be said to be very unpleasant.
Yao Ran also asked someone to find a lactating alpaca and milk some milk to try. With sharp weapons in his body, Yao Ran has many ways to look at this dairy product, whether it is suitable for development. In the end, I came to the conclusion that the smell was too strong. It can be suitable for making some dry milk chips, cheese and the like. Diluted drinking is still more flavorful. Eventually, the development of this dairy product was abandoned. It's better to wait for the number of cows to increase, and then drink milk.
Yao Ran, who returned to Canglong City, began to continue to teach classes, train faculty members, and supervise the construction of shipbuilding on the Great Lake. Three months later, Yao Ran's first large ship was built, four meters wide and twelve meters long. The ship is three meters high and has a maximum displacement of about 60 tons. The purpose of this boat is actually to catch fish. So Nakajima came to the front. The rudder is driven by three propeller shafts at the lowest level. At the stern, there is a semi-open opening. There are two large winches. With the net fixed on it, you can start fishing.
The boat is sail-powered, and paddle-wheel is used in hybrid. There are two pairs of paddle wheels at the stern and waist, which are distributed on the left and right. In other words, the first big boat built by Yao Ran is very similar to the duck boat in the park. Of course, in fact, this ship can also be called a forerunner, to put it bluntly, it is an experimental product.
And the personnel on board are a few well-behaved workers of the shipyard who have become the main personnel. Labor was still done by barbarian slaves. After all, stepping on the paddle wheel is not a pleasant thing. And it's quite tiring.
The first captain Yao Ran originally wanted to be himself, but after thinking about it, he couldn't just be the captain for one day and change the captain the next day, which was a bit too child's play, so he still served as a deacon in the shipyard, a young man who had studied with him for a few months. It's called Charron.
Just by looking at the surname, you can know that Xia Lun is a villager of Dahu Village. It has been almost half a year since he returned to the Yao clan. Yao Ran really doesn't have any manpower available now. So that's the only choice. Charron was chosen to be the captain not because of how clever and intelligent he was, but because the kid could write now.
can barely write, in fact, he is now a scholar-level figure, but under Yao Ran's intentional arrangement, he still followed Yao Ran and entered the shipyard to work, and did not go out to be a teacher, but also to prepare for another school, that is, the maritime school.
In the original world, there was a famous saying that one year of the army, ten years of the air force, and a hundred years of the navy, and the cultivation of maritime operations is a long-term and long-term task. Although primitive people living in the interior could not understand what the vast ocean was, Yao Ran firmly believed that the sea seen in the retinal system would be conquered sooner or later. The preparatory work ahead cannot wait until the matter is in front of you.
In this way, on a sunny afternoon, the first ship named "Gonggong" by Yao Ran was launched! After Yao Ran took a clay jar and threw it on the bow of the ship, the Gonggong set sail with full sails.
Yao Ran also drove the retina system on the boat in real time to observe the underwater situation, Yao Ran didn't want his first big ship to be given to Huo Huo by some beast. Yao Ran is going to jump to his feet.
The Gonggong rode the wind and waves on the vast lake and passed through the center of the lake. Yao Ran's hanging heart was finally put in his stomach. At the same time, his face was also full of smiles, this big lake was low and rich in aquatic products was scary, and big fish more than three meters long abounded, Yao Ran looked at it for a while and found that there was no danger, sighed and said, "It's still a small boat!" ”
drove through the middle of the lake all the way, and Yao Ran did not give the order to go to the net, nor did he have the intention of turning back. Just sailed straight to the other side of Canglong City, where there was also a small village, which was another destination for Yao Ran's trip. Regardless of the size of the other party, it is always okay to put it down. Maybe one day it will be annexed to him, isn't it?
The speed of the direct movement of the water surface must be faster than the speed of the ground detour, but because the big lake is so big, it took two hours for Yao Ran to see the location of the village on the other side of the lake. Extremely similar to Canglong City, they also live behind a lake beach.
On the beach of the lake, there is also a group of people in the lake water to spear fish, dig shellfish, and pick up river snails. When Yao Ran's Gonggong approached the shore of the lake, the people on the lake were frightened by the strange monster in front of them, screamed and ran back to the shore.
At this time, Yao Ran smiled and ordered to fish in the net, and the speed of the boat did not decrease until it was about to approach the shore, and then he began to turn the winch and collect the net to pull the fish. This net fish weighs a thousand pounds, mainly because there are few people in the depths of this big lake, and the slightly larger fish are the existence of the overlord level in the lake, and there is no Canglong, no threat, and they don't know how to dodge. So casually under the net, it is a harvest of thousands of catties.
This net fish is a meeting gift, and you can't go empty-handed when you go to visit others. But when the boat reached the shore, the problem came, there were no dinghys. I didn't think about it. The lake is dozens of meters away from the shore, but the water depth is not enough for the big boat to drive, there is no way to detour, with the help of Yao Ran's retina system to find a waterway, on the edge of a cliff, the big boat got off anchor, used the rope to climb the mountain shore A few young men, on the big tree on the shore of the lake trapped the two ends of the boat with ropes, and finally everyone set up a plank to go ashore.
In the woods on the shore, there are a few people with wooden sticks and stone axes, secretly monitoring in the grass, the people who come up and down this big monster, and a few primitive people are still wondering, this big monster doesn't eat people, where is the mouth? There are also people jumping down. It's incredible!
Yao Ran got off the boat, walked to a safe distance, looked at a few people hiding in the grass, and said loudly, "We are from the other side of the lake, come to visit you here, and bring you big fish!" As a gift. ”
Hearing Yao Ran's words, a few people hiding in the grass were all confused, the people on the other side of the river, they just haven't heard of it, is the big monster they made the big snake in the water?
If Yao Ran knew what they were thinking, he would definitely pretend to be Bo Yi and tell them that the big snake they said had been killed by himself! (To be continued.) )
