I ruled out this solution, and I was worried that the bottom of the boat would poke on the beach due to various factors such as the displacement of the wooden stakes on the ground during launching, and I couldn't push it with my ability.

The second type has a much larger amount of work upfront, but it is more stable, and there is almost no need to worry about unexpected problems, so I chose it!

You only need to wait for the boat to be built, and then dig out a layer of sand between the big pit and the sea water to let the sea water in, and the boat can float up and go out directly along the sea water!

This dock, well, for the time being, it will be called a dock, also has a lot of requirements in terms of location, and it is not just a place to start digging a hole.

First, it is necessary to prevent the ship from being pushed out by the waves in the section with large waves when it is completed and launched, but being blocked inside and unable to move, and at the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the typhoon from rolling the waves into it and carrying it away during construction.

Finally, the distance factor should also be considered, the closer distance from the top of the mountain to the beach can not only save the time of going back and forth, but also save more effort to carry various materials, why not!

There weren't many places to choose from, but I ended up in the small bay where I usually fished, and digging a hole on the beach a few meters behind it was more in line with the requirements in all aspects, where the waves were usually much smaller, the current was relatively calm, and it was easier to control when the boat was launched.

The work of digging a pit is painful and happy, although it is very physically demanding, but because the sand texture is soft and it is very easy to dig, it has a very interesting feeling, just like children like to play with mud.

The progress is one day at a time, but the body is not comfortable, the pain is unbearable at the end of the day, and I almost can't get up when I get up in the morning!

Such a big pit, the volume is already as large as the swimming pool at the top of the mountain, if it were to dig on hard ground, it would take more than half a month, but here I only used five days.

Unconsciously, five days still passed very quickly, and there was not much resistance in my heart, the only thing that suffered was the body, I had to give myself a day off, I really didn't have the strength to take the next step immediately!

......

I had piled all the trunks of trees with a diameter of about 20 centimeters that I had collected near the house, but now that I think about it, I really miscalculated.

I knew that I should have chosen a good location and then collected wood, so that I could carry the wood found in various parts of the woods directly to the sea, instead of carrying it next to the house on the top of the mountain, and then this time I had to carry it down the mountain to the beach.

This made me feel dizzy after a day of rest, I felt dizzy, it was too tricky, this is more difficult work than digging a big pit, so I can still stand still when digging a pit.

The thought of having to carry twenty or thirty pieces of thick wood hundreds of meters away, and at the same time all kinds of other materials to be carried, suddenly felt bad......

However, I did come up with a way to save some effort, and sure enough, I wanted to be lazy and clever in nature, and I could also come up with various ways to lighten the burden, and in order to reduce the weight of the wood before carrying it, I planned to use an axe to chop the billowing trunk into squares.

Even if it is just a rough square, the stability of the back is more stable than that of round wood when it is built and after molding, and the fit between the woods is significantly improved, and the weight of carrying down the mountain can also be reduced by a part, killing two birds with one stone!

So for the next two or three days a few hundred meters around the house, I could hear the "thump" sound of my axe chopping wood, but fortunately it wasn't in the city, otherwise I would have been warned many times.

The trunks that were originally more than 20 centimeters in diameter were trimmed into squares and left 167 centimeters, which increased the number of trunks from 20 to 24.

That's right, the width of the boat I plan is about two meters, the length of four meters, although it looks very inconspicuous from the surface numbers, but such a size is already a big ship for me, bigger is better, but there will be problems that I can't control, especially on the surface of the sea that has long-term wind and waves!

A boat that I don't control, even if it's bigger than a fishing boat lying on its side on the beach, doesn't mean anything!

......

After three more days to carry all the timber needed for the ship to the vicinity of the big pit, the matter is not over, and don't forget that something more important is needed--- nails.

The situation at sea is extremely complicated, and the waves are more than one meter high for countless times, and if you don't fix it in a more secure way, you may fall apart after using it once or twice at sea.

This time can be ruined and materials lost, or you can be thrown into the ocean, where you can get too far from land or encounter sharks!

Therefore, the first element of this ship is to be strong, as long as it does not fall apart at sea, there should not be a great danger.

The mold of the iron nail is very simple, but unfortunately other tools have to be remade, and the tools that need to be made are not only charcoal furnaces, but also bellows.

Undoubtedly, it will be delayed for another two or three days, but it is an essential process, but fortunately, there were no accidents during this period, and they were all put into use after drying some on the third day.

The newly refined iron nails are a reinforced version, which is not only thicker than the previous ones, but also longer, and about half of them are in the shape of two pointed ends, which are intended to be embedded in the middle of the two wooden stakes to play a connecting role.

I have smelted about five catties of iron nails in total, and I estimate that it should be enough to use, and it is simply indestructible to build!

Of course, fixation is not only about nails, but also about ropes.

The preparatory work for the first phase is basically over here, followed by the later construction work, which is relatively easier.

......

There is another particularly big issue to ponder before construction, and that is the power of the ship and the part that the ship relies on the most when it is at sea!

I don't have much research in this area, so I have three options, the first is to walk with long branches in the shallow sea, and paddle in the deep sea, which is the most primitive, the simplest, and at the same time the most difficult to control.

The second option is to remove the oars from the previous fishing boats and make them a manual engine that can be cranked by hand, which I think is a very maneuverable solution.

It's just a pity......

It's a pity that my stupidity turned this plan from reality to unreality, if the oars were removed in the first place, I believe it would not be a big problem, but now it can't be dismantled at all!

Three or four years have already made the ship look rusty, and the oars are no exception, and the high salinity and high humidity environment on the seaside will be put for three years, even the oars that have just left the factory will be corroded to be unusable, not to mention that the life of the ship itself is not short.

It's really a pity, if you were more greedy to remove the oars, you don't have to worry about the power today, there is absolutely no problem with professional oars as the power.

Now we have to rule out this option and consider the third option.

The third option is to build a sailboat, using the old raincloth as a sail, and with the help of the oars, it should be able to provide enough power.

Compared to the first option, using the sail as power is definitely more labor-saving, at least two-thirds of the physical strength can be saved, the only thing to pay attention to is to be aware of the weather changes before going to sea, when the wind is strong and the waves are strong, it is not suitable for going to sea.

After combining several options, and then excluding the second strongest but impossible solution, you can only choose the third one, as long as I hear the word "labor-saving" I like it!

......

Then it was time to start the work, and after the ground in the dockyard had been leveled, I lined up more than a dozen long wooden squares one by one, and connected them with two pointed nails between each two.

At this time, the twelve wooden squares become a whole, in fact, the shape of a raft, and then three arm-thick and two-meter-long logs are fixed horizontally at the two ends and the middle of the boat to strengthen the structural strength.

The first side is not yet finished, so it is necessary to turn it over completely, and fix three crossbars on the other side to strengthen it, but this step is also the most difficult.

It is quite difficult to turn over a whole wooden row nailed, and 12 four-meter-long dry logs weigh at least 700 pounds or more, and even significantly exceed, and it only lifts it more than ten centimeters with the strength of milk.

But even if it is difficult, I have to do it, the impact of the waves is beyond imagination, and I am still not very relieved to just strengthen the side.

Later, I found that I couldn't use brute force to compete with the weight that I couldn't solve, so I could only use the power of tools to pry up little by little with an iron lift and a few tree trunks with a calf-thick thickness, so that it completely turned over to the other side!

The process of turning over did not last too long, it only took more than half an hour, but after turning it over, I also rested for almost half an hour, and after nailing the last three horizontal logs, today's work is almost over, and I will fight again tomorrow......

Because the bottom of the boat needs to be buoyant enough, two rows of rafts are used, which directly increases the difficulty of the work, and it took two days to build the bottom two floors.

But it worked very well, as fewer waves hit my feet, and the second layer of the raft was almost always above the surface when the wind was calm.

......

The two rows of rafts took two days, and the next step was supposed to be to install the columns of the superstructure and sails, but I didn't rush into it, but began to do other things.

I dug a small drainage ditch between the sea and the dock, and let a certain amount of seawater flow into it to lift the two rows of rafts up to a height of at least 50 centimeters above the ground.

Then I cut off the useless fishing nets twenty or thirty meters, wrapped them around the entire two rows of rafts a few times, and tightened them.

Even if the individual fishing net line is a little rotten, the strength of the whole fishing net is still unquestionable, and it may be more tear-resistant than a nail to wrap two layers of raft around it!

I believe that if I want to be swept away by the waves, even if I want to, maybe the waves will not be able to do it!

This step also invisibly increased my workload, and the sea water inside made the boat float on the water, making it impossible for me to move on to the next step.
