Wang Lu guessed: "Obviously, some crew members have mutated into zombies, maybe the remaining healthy crew members rushed the boat to the rocky beach in a panic when they escaped, causing the ship to run aground." ”

Chen Wei said suspiciously: "Then it is impossible to wash the boat up to such a high level as the rocky beach, you see, almost the entire bottom of the boat has washed up on the rocky beach." ”

Wang Lu scratched his head: "Maybe the water level of the river was relatively high at that time." ”

Xie Ling was not at all interested in how the excavator ran aground, and hurriedly said, "Then can this excavator still be used?" ”

Wang Lu said: "It should be able to be used, this boat and the front excavator are actually two separate parts, even if the boat engine is broken, it will not affect the use of the excavator." ”

Chen Wei also said next to him: "That's right, if this propeller is broken, it's good, it doesn't matter much, it's really not good, even if we use bamboo poles to support it, we can hold it up to the town." ”

Old man Chen poked his head out of the cabin: "Xiao Wang, I already knew that this propeller was broken, and if that thing was broken, it would be broken, it doesn't matter, the problem is that there is no way to get this boat into the water from the rocky beach." ”

Wang Lu had already thought of this, and stood in the rain and squinted at the excavation boat stranded on the rocky beach for a long time, if it had been in the past, it would have been easy to solve this problem by getting a crane, but now--he said tentatively: "How about digging out the stones under the boat?" Dig a pit and bring in some water, like a dock. Then dig a ditch and drive the boat out. ”

Xie Ling, Chen Wei and Wang Bian all looked at each other, and the old man Chen on the boat said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, this method may work, but you have to dig a big pit." Fei old nose time. When you get out of the boat, it's time for the summer harvest to pass. ”

Wang Lu also knew that his method was too embarrassing.

And—he turned his head to look around, and there were either shallow pits or sandy beaches next to it, and even if the excavator broke free from the rocky beach, there was no deep enough waterway to let it sail all the way to Yinjiang Town, "Hell, how did this excavator get here?" Flew in? ”

Old man Chen stood on the boat and said loudly: "Xiao Wang." Don't think about it, there was a lot of rain in May and June, and the river was much deeper than it is now. ”

Wang Lu wiped the raindrops on his face: "It's raining every day these days, why don't you see the river rising?" ”

Old man Chen smiled and said, "It's only been drizzling for a few days?" Let this rain fall for half a month, and then you can take a look at the river and make sure that the boat will float. ”

It's possible, but it's impossible for everyone to really wait for God to be in the mood for the rain in the second half of the month.

Wang Lu, can you know what Lu Dao is for, Old Man Chen looked embarrassed and ran to Yashan to find them - this boat is not to say that he is alone, even if he adds all the people of Yashan, it will not be easy to get out.

But no matter how hard it is, you have to get it.

Digging boats for zombies. It is definitely a nuclear weapon-level mass killer, and there is no difficulty, even if it is difficult to create it, it must be taken out of the rocky beach.

Just do it.

Wang Lu thought that the raincoat was in the way, so he simply took it off. In the rain, he and Old Man Chen touched around in the river, and sometimes jumped into a waterhole somewhere without even taking off their clothes in order to probe into the depths of the water.

After tinkering for a long time, Wang Lu and Old Man Chen worked out a very rough plan for excavating the boat to get out of trouble.

A sufficient number of stones were to be dug out from under the excavator and replaced with large bamboo tubes cut from the mountain. Using a bamboo tube as a rolling log, the excavator is sent to a pool with sufficient depth, and then the sandbar between the waterhole and the main river section is opened, and a stone dam is overturned at the end of the day, so that the excavator can be completely freed.

When Wang Lu announced this plan in front of everyone, the more he talked, the more empty he became. Especially when it came to climbing over the stone dam, even he himself felt too embarrassed - it was better to be able to tear down the stone dam, but the stone dam was made of cement, and it was undoubtedly an iron wall in front of the people of Yashan, who did not even have a proper tool.

It's just that this is the only feasible way he and Old Man Chen have discussed.

Wang Lu looked at the people in front of him, the old and the young, either women or children, except for Old Man Chen, none of them had any experience in civil engineering. In fact, he is more worried about whether these people will accidentally injure himself during the construction process.

Chen Wei saw Wang Lu's hesitation, and she said briskly: "Okay, let's start work." ”

Wang Lu was a little flustered: "Ah, start work, yes, start work, time is running out, in fact, it doesn't matter if you miss the harvest, everyone remember safety first, we are not in a hurry." ”…,

Old man Chen said happily: "Xiao Wang, don't worry, with my old man here, I won't starve you to death." ”

Everyone was assigned to work, Chen Wei went back to Yashan to prepare water and food for everyone to change clothes, and Old Man Chen took Wang Bi'an to the mountain to cut a big hair tube - there was an old and steady old man Chen with him, and even Chen Wei was relieved, Wang Lu and Xie Ling began to dig stones on the spot.

Braving the continuous rain, Wang Lu held a stone and threw it into the distance, digging a stone seems simple, but it cannot be directly excavated under the bottom of the boat, first you have to clean the surrounding stones, so that the stones will not be crushed and fall into the newly dug pit.

There are big and small stones, the small ones are fine, and the big ones may not even be able to lift the two of them.

After a while, Xie Ling and Wang Lu were covered in rain and sweat.

Xie Ling sighed, raised his finger and took it in his mouth, Wang Lu put down the stone in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Knock a bit." Xie Ling said: "It's okay. Looking up at the sky: "Why is it always raining these days?" Annoying. Isn't there only a thunderstorm in summer? ”

Wang Lu said: "Uncle Chen said, this rain is timely, just to fill the rice, this summer's rice must be delicious, and the grains are glutinous." It's just that the time is not too long, and after three or four days of sunny before harvesting, the rice stalks will be stiff, and it is best to harvest them with agricultural machinery. ”

Xie Ling actually just complained casually, then he hugged a big stone and walked aside and threw it down, looked back at the pit left after the stone was dug out, thought about it, and said to Wang Lu: "Brother, you see that after this stone is dug out, there are large and small pits everywhere, even if it is covered with a big hair tube underneath, it is not convenient to roll, otherwise, let's put sand in these pits and try to smooth it out." ”

Wang Lu thought for a while: "This method is feasible. We just dug up the sand from the sandbar. Anyway, a section of the waterway was going to be dug up there. Don't delay. ”

Xie Ling bit her lip: "Brother, there is actually a more labor-saving way to dig stones." Let's try to turn on the digging arm and let it dig on its own. ”

Wang Lu was taken aback by this sudden method, but he had to admit that Xie Ling was right, the digging arm was originally used to dig stones and sand, and the efficiency was not too high.

The question is - Wang Lu looked at Xie Ling, who was eager to try: "Do you know how to operate the digging arm?" ”

Xie Ling coughed: "This shouldn't be too difficult." Let's try it first. ”

"Try? What should I do if I try and fail? This is not a toy. Wang Lu was dissatisfied.

Xie Ling stomped her feet and said, "Brother, let's give it a try, I promise to be light-hearted." I stop whenever there is danger. ”

Wang Lu hesitated, to be honest, the manipulation function of the excavation arm still needs to be used in the end, someone has to try it, besides, with the help of the excavation arm, the amount of work can be greatly reduced, especially the excavation of the sandbank, it is time-saving and labor-saving, if the excavation arm horsepower is strong enough. can rely on the strength of the digging arm to "drag" themselves across the sandbar.

There's a lot of temptation in that.

Wang Lu pondered for a long time: "Then let's try it." But I don't know if the boat will be able to get started, after all, the ship has been stranded here for months. ”

Xie Ling took Wang Lu's arm and walked towards the bow of the boat, and said happily: "Alas. Just give it a try anyway. ”

The two got into the narrow bow control room, Xie Ling sat in the middle of the driver's seat first, and Wang Lu warned: "Don't touch the joystick yet, wait until I start the engine." Xie Ling nodded in response.

Wang Lu put his hand on the switch key, and asked for a god Buddha Jade Emperor Guanyin God in his heart, and then twisted the key.

A few sudden. The digging boat shuddered, and a puff of black smoke drifted outside the glass window, and it started.

Wang Lu is stunned, it's really shit luck, after such a long time, this broken machine still has electricity. However, it is not surprising that this kind of construction machinery is the most "resistant" guys. Not to mention the thick skin and thick meat, it is surprisingly durable.

Xie Ling cheered, grabbed a lever on his right and pulled it slightly—the head of the lever was marked with arrows up and down.

The digging arm was raised with a clatter, and Xie Ling shouted with joy: "It's moving!" It's moving!"

Wang Lu was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, great, this thing was intact.

Xie Ling pushed the lever back and forth a few times, and the digging arm also lifted and lowered accordingly. …,

Xie Ling tried the operating lever on the left again, and found that it was controlled that the forearm on the excavation arm was stretched out and recovered.

Xie Ling proudly raised her chin at Wang Lu next to her: "I said it, it's okay to try, look, how simple it is." Wang Lu smiled: "You try again to see how to dig and uninstall." ”

Xie Ling tried again and found that the right operating lever was controlled by the left to the right.

"It's so easy." Xie Ling said: "No wonder I watch the news, an 8-year-old child can operate an excavator." ”

Great, with the help of the digging arm, I guess we can rescue the boat from the rocky beach today. Wang Lu scratched his head, thinking earlier that with the help of the digging arm, Uncle Chen and Wang Bi'an would not have to cut any bamboo tubes.

Xie Ling was even more confident, and rubbed her hands: "Look, look at how I dig stones." As he spoke, he pushed his right arm forward, and then turned right - the bucket of the digging arm smashed heavily into the rocky beach.

Wang Lu saw it clearly from the side and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Xie Ling couldn't stop at all, and the digging arm and bucket smashed heavily on the rocks, and even sparks splashed out.

Without waiting for Wang Lu to exclaim, Xie Ling, who had already sensed that something was wrong, pulled back the lever suddenly, and the bucket snorted and raised, and threw a few pieces of gravel that had been dug into the bucket again.

"Stop!" Wang Lu's throat was smoking. A loud roar reverberated through the cramped control room.

Xie Ling raised her hands and sat on the cab, not daring to move.

Wang Lu hurriedly reached out and closed the key. Listening to the engine stop, I was relieved.

Xie Ling cried with a sad face: "I didn't mean to. ”

Wang Lu sighed, of course you didn't mean it, silly girl, the excavator is so easy to operate? If it's really that simple, people don't need to spend thousands of oceans to go to Lanxiang Technical School to learn. You really think Lanxiang Technical School is a scumbag. The advertisements of people's floors are so foolish that even CAI knows the name of the road.

Thankfully, the digging arm didn't break.

Xie Ling didn't dare to do anything, and Wang Lu was also apprehensive, so let's dig it honestly with bare hands.

2 hours later, Chen Wei came back with drinking water and food, and brought a few large plastic sheets, saying that they wanted to build a shed for everyone to shelter from the rain, which was also needed, Wang Lu and Xie Ling cut down some small trees nearby, and hastily built a shack that could accommodate people.

Chen Wei forced both of them to change into a set of dry clothes - getting sick with a cold is not a joke.

At this time, Old Man Chen and Wang Bi'an also returned with an ox cart, and there was a pile of big hair tubes on the flat cart pulled behind the ox cart.

It was almost time for dinner, everyone was tired for a morning, and the amount of food increased greatly, so they sat in the canopy to eat and drink, took a short break at noon, and continued to work.

Chen Wei, Xie Ling, and Wang Bi'an excavated and carried some small stones, and at the same time dug sand from the sandbar to fill the pit, Wang Lu and Old Man Chen began to put the hair tube under the excavation boat.

The stones around the excavation ship have been almost dug by Wang Lu and Xie Ling, and they are much smoother after filling in the sand, but the bottom of the boat is still full of large and small gravel. Wang Lu originally wanted to stuff the bamboo tube horizontally into the bottom of the boat, but after trying it with Old Man Chen, they found that it didn't work, and the gravel under the bottom of the boat was blocked to death.

Old man Chen pondered for a while, and suggested that Wang Lu stuff the bamboo tube parallel to the hull on both sides of the boat, and Wang Lu circled the hull twice - instead of rolling wood, do you use the track type instead? This can also be done.

Wang Lu called Xie Ling and Chen Wei to help, and he and Old Man Chen stood at one end and one end of the boat, using two cut tree trunks as crowbars, shouting "one, two, three", and single-sided skid up the excavation boat.

Chen Wei and Xie Ling took the opportunity to stuff a bamboo tube to the bottom of the boat, and the stones on one side of the bottom of the boat had been cleaned as much as possible, and the bamboo tube was stuffed into it smoothly.

Wang Lu pressed the crowbar so that his neck was thick, and when he heard Chen Wei shout "Okay", he relented, and with a clatter, the digging boat sat on the bamboo tube.

With experience, the other side is much easier to do, according to the same way to draw the gourd, it took an afternoon, but also put on the bamboo tube, now, the excavation boat is basically "sitting" on the "track" paved with two bamboo tubes, as long as Wang Lu they flattened the rocky beach leading to the waterhole, and then paved a smaller bamboo tube on the way forward, you can push the excavation boat into the water.

Although the amount of work ahead is still very large, the first step is quite smooth.

After dinner, everyone did not go home, with the mentality that a little can is a little, picking up more stones, digging more sand, all of which were good, until night fell, the rain became heavier and heavier, and then stopped.

Wang Lu and his entourage broke up with Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen drove the ox cart back to Houlong Village, and Wang Lu and they went back to Yashan and made an appointment to continue construction tomorrow morning.
