Chapter 19 Are You a Boatman?
On one side of the rocky mountain, there is a path hidden in the dense forest, which is cut off directly from the other side of the steep rocky mountain, and the sea branches off from here due to the topography, making the surrounding trees even more lush.
When looking down from the heights, the Buddha is divided in two by a sword from the middle of the mountain as if there were really gods, and few people pass by here because of the dangerous terrain and the dense trees that often appear in the beasts.
Near the bottom of the cliff, more than a dozen teenagers entered the mountain, and if it weren't for them, they wouldn't have noticed that there would be such a hidden cave here.
Wang Dahai and the others carried Albert into the cave, and put him in a simple nest made of animal skins, and put in his hand the prepared water, water, and barbecue meat that they had brought with them.
After everything was done, Wang Dahai had time to look around, only to see that this was a naturally formed stone cave with a diameter of about 4 meters, the location was just halfway up the mountain, and the entrance of the cave was densely wooded, and he would not notice that there would be a cave until he was near.
I don't know how Albert found this place, it's so hidden and the cave is not damp.
"Huh?"
Wang Dahai just turned his head to look around, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by an object.
It was a wooden model of a warship, and in this era, the skill of being able to make a big ship that drifted across the ocean was not ordinarily high? It was something that no ordinary man could control, and as far as he knew, none of his tribe could build a big ship.
The ships of Count Rolf were made with a lot of money in the territory of King God, the largest tribe in the vicinity, and it is important to know that the warships they are using now are not the leading ships that will sweep through Forte in Europe in the future, and the current ships have shallow drafts, slow speeds, and complex operations, which are not the biggest problems.
The biggest disadvantage of today's warships is that the road is too long and easy to capsize, and there have been many accidents in which ships have been wrecked and people have died, which is why the Vikings can only plunder the relatively close northern part of Russia every year, but they do not know the real reason for the existence of the British Peninsula.
Wang Dahai originally wanted to wait until he was older, at least after the age of 16 to look for craftsmen who could build warships, but he didn't expect to be so lucky this time, and this Albert in front of him might be such a boatman.
He turned his head to look at Albert who was in a semi-comatose state, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and did not immediately rush to ask, everything will wait for him to recover, he has been waiting for so many years and will not be like this anymore.
Seeing that the time is not early, Wang Dahai did not disturb Albert, who was resting, and now Albert's status in his heart has risen sharply, so his attitude has also changed a little inadvertently.
Before everyone returned to the tribe, Ole told everyone again, that nothing had happened when they were to do something, and that no one could tell anything about today's events, or that everyone would not let go of him and other threats, and everyone would disperse, each going back to his own home, and finding his own mother.
This night, Wang Dahai had insomnia, and countless memories were turned out in his mind, and he wanted to find the general appearance of the incomparably powerful dragon warship that dominated the sea for centuries in his memory, and it was best to find some specific data.
In his previous life, he liked to play the strategic game [Age of Empires 2] very much, and at that time, he was curious about what the Vikings were so strong in the game setting, so he specifically looked for information on the Internet, so he still remembered this kind of dragon ship.
As he tossed and turned, the morning came as promised, and from this day on, in addition to training and hunting by the waterhole, everyone gathered to bring Albert food and drink, and to change his dressing regularly.
The days passed slowly in such a repetition, Albert's body was getting better day by day, and slowly became familiar with everyone, as everyone got acquainted with each other, Wang Dahai also found that his personality was very good and humorous, and the most important point was that this old guy was really shameless sometimes, and even these twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers tried to calculate it from time to time.
"Hey, hey!" However, with the contact, Wang Dahai also fell in love with the character of this obscene uncle. Some are big grinning, and some are really villains.
On this day, seeing that Albert was already able to stand up and move on his own, Wang Dahai took out a thin piece of bark and handed it to Albert, who was telling a story.
"It's ......! This is......! This...... Is it a battleship? ”
When he first looked at it, his whole body immediately stood up straight, staring at the bark with straight eyes, without blinking, and only after a while did he raise his head, with an incredible expression, and his speech began to stutter.
Wang Dahai had been paying attention to Albert's expression, and when he saw his expression after looking like a tree bark for the first time, he already had the answer in his heart, he was a boatman.
"Huh! Check it out! There are no outsiders here, everyone can take a look. ”
Hearing Albert's question, Ole and the others, who were playing on the side, all stuck out their heads to see what it was to scare Albert, an old **, into silly in order to come over.
What Wang Dahai gave Albert was the Viking dragon head battleship he had drawn from memory these days, which was the crystallization of his meditation for so many days, and also represented the first step for him to step out of the sea and dream of a free life in the future.
"We're brothers, and I don't want to hide it from you.
If such a warship can be successfully built.
I think we can definitely be the big heroes of the Navians.
We will take it across the ocean to the other side of the ocean. ”
Wang Dahai saw that everyone was staring at the bark of the tree in a sluggish manner, and then looked at himself with a shocked face, and he waved his arms loudly and said to everyone.
"Really? Is there really someone on the other side of the sea who has land? ”
Ole was the first to wake up from the shock, and then asked the doubts in his heart.
"Please trust me! If I say yes, there will be.
As long as you trust me, I will lead you to conquer that land. ”
Wang Dahai swore that he continued to agitate these immature teenagers in front of him.
"Albert! What do you think of the ship? ”
Without waiting for the other teenagers to speak, Wang Dahai stared at Albert and asked.
"Good ......! It's really ......! I had never thought of a warship of this shape.
Both the bottom and the hull design are perfect.
I think it must have a deep draft, it must be very strong.
Such a ship is fully equipped with the possibility of long-distance sailing.
And as you can see from the design of the hull, it must be fast. ”
Albert said so many words in one breath, and he didn't know whether he was excited or suffocated by too much on his face, anyway, his face was red at the moment, and he didn't have a crooked look of his previous illness.
Wang Dahai was very curious, why didn't he choke this old guy to death? Could it be that its pipes are thicker than others?
After a period of inquiry, Wang Dahai ignored the group of excited little guys around him, he was next to Albert, told him the requirements and data for the dragon head ship in his mind, and answered a few questions he raised.
Hearing the professional questions raised by Albert, Wang Dahai was completely relieved, and he believed that Albert would definitely be able to build the first sharp weapon to dominate the sea.
But another problem also arises, and that is money.
The Navians did not have a currency, and they generally bartered or traded the gold and silver that the raided chieftains had given them.
Wang Dahai wanted to build a ship, and the hull was made of wood, and wood was everywhere in the mountains, but ropes, sails, anchors, and iron to hold the hull in place required gold and silver.
Although there are a lot of teenagers in their group, they usually don't need to spend money, they are all self-sufficient, they catch fish and hunt when they are hungry, and they drink spring water when they are thirsty, and they don't need money. Besides, it's so barren here, and every family is like this, and it's basically useless to ask for money.
But if you want to build a ship and go to sea, there are some things that are indispensable, and Boss Wang felt the feeling that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero.
With this thought, Wang Dahai walked in the direction of home sullenly, and in great contrast to him was a group of excited and howling little children around him, who had not yet returned from the fantasy of conquering the entire universe in the future.
Looking at this group of stupid children, Wang Dahai was extremely depressed, he really didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were at home!!
