Chapter 69: Hard Sail

Looking at the carcasses and blood of wild boars all over the ground, and many people lying on the ground wailing, Su Lin immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.

At this time, there was also a smell of blood in the air, and the land was also dyed red, and it was the first time for Su Lin to smell such a strong smell of blood, and he was not very comfortable for a while.

However, Felicia's face was calm at the moment, and she took a deep breath, and then sighed: "This is the taste of war. ”

It didn't take long for Starta to come over and report on the battle: "Lord Duke, this time we have killed a total of four hundred and twenty wild boars, and we have injured more than a dozen people on our side, and several people have broken legs. ”

"Alright, let's carry both the people and the wild boars back first, and I'll have my own way as for the ones with broken legs. ”

After giving the order, Surin rode his horse down the mountain, and Felicia followed him and asked, "Are you going to let Shi'an go and treat those people?"

Su Lin nodded, after all, a broken leg is not a fracture, and it can be recovered by recuperation, so he can only ask Shi'an to help.

When the people in the town saw that a group of them had walked back from Perfection, and they were carrying wild boars one by one, they couldn't help but come over to watch the excitement.

"Oh my God, such a big wild boar is enough for me to eat for a year. ”

"Well, now there will be no wild boars to steal our food. ”

After returning to the house, Su Lin saw Shi An staring at him angrily, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, who messed with you?"

Hearing this, Shi'an snorted coldly, then looked at him and said, "Who else, of course it's you, you don't call me for such a fun thing as hunting, it makes me sad too much." ”

After knowing that it was this, Su Lin also laughed, and comforted easily: "Okay, don't be angry, in order to make up for you, how about I decide to make you the captain?"

As soon as he heard this, Shi'an's eyes immediately lit up, and then he immediately leaned over and asked, "What captain?"

"Captain of the health care team. Surin uttered a relatively unfamiliar word in this era, which he had been planning all along, to prepare for a group of healing magicians to form a medical team in the future.

"What kind of team is the medical team?" asked Shi An with a puzzled expression.

Then Su Lin explained that the specific role of the medical team is to be responsible for tasks such as battlefield rescue, and a hospital will be established in the future, and she will be the first president.

After hearing this, Shi'an also felt very interesting, thinking that he would also be the captain in the future, so he immediately took it and patted his chest and agreed.

After seeing her agree, Su Lin immediately spoke: "Now there are a few people whose legs are broken, and you, the captain, will help to treat them!"

"Okay, you're deliberately calculating me. Shi An pointed at Su Lin so angry that his body trembled.

"What do you mean by calculating you, look at this, I have already prepared it for you. ”

With that, Surin took out a white armband with a red cross embroidered on it.

After she took it, Su Lin began to explain again: "This is the logo I designed for your medical team, doesn't it feel very good!"

But Shi An said with a disgusted face: "It's ugly, I'm going to put my own avatar on it!"

"Change, I can't change it right away!"

"Forget it, so be it, lest some people use my avatar to do something bad, and now I have a few subordinates?"

"Well, it's just you for now, but don't worry, I'll definitely recruit someone for you in the future. ”

After that, Su Lin put on the armband for her, and then Shi'an straightened her chest and walked out proudly.

After getting Shi'an, Surin came to the place where the wild boar was stacked, Logo belongs to the subtropical climate, but the four seasons are not so distinct, the average temperature is around 256 degrees.

There is no storage technology now, and if these wild boars are kept here, they will quickly rot, so they must be disposed of as soon as possible.

After pondering for a moment, Surin decided to make the wild boar meat into ham and smoke it for a longer period of time.

Then he asked people to start handling these wild boars, first making a large cauldron, boiling hot water, and then removing the hair and finishing it.

At this time, a large number of people were already gathering by the river, after all, it was a lot of work to deal with these hundreds of wild boars.

After a while, the river was dyed red, but fortunately, the water was flowing and had no effect on drinking water.

Su Lin looked at the internal organs of those wild boars, and the intestines were thrown into the water, and he couldn't help but feel heartache, people at this time don't eat these, and now the peppers are not good, otherwise it will be a cool to fry a plate of hot intestines.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wipe his mouth, and almost drooled at the thought of eating.

After the wild boar was cleaned up, everyone began to smoke, and for a while the town was covered in smoke, like a fairyland, but this fairyland was quite choking.

At any time, Surin rode to the salt mine by the sea, and now there was no one working here, and he had stipulated that he would not dig until he reached 200 tons.

As soon as he opened the door of the warehouse and entered, he saw bags of sea salt piled up like a hill, and now it was almost May, and he had to set out again to sell the salt, and it would take four months to go back and forth, and when he came back, just in time for the grain harvest.

As for the sale of salt, he is not very worried, after all, salt is still a valuable item in this era, and the market is not worried, and when the time comes, he will use some marketing methods to not worry about not being able to sell.

After making up his mind, he went to the beach to watch the training of Prang and the others, and the sea breeze was also very strong at this time, and they climbed up and down the ropes on the boat with difficulty, but they all had adapted to the work on the ship.

Then he beckoned to Prang again, and said, "You get ready, and we'll be going to leave again in a few days." ”

After hearing this, Pu Lang looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said: "Lord Duke, it's almost summer now, the wind is blowing from the sea to the land, our ship can't move at all, and now our sailors have not been trained yet, see if it is a little more slow." ”

After hearing this, Su Lin was also stunned, he didn't expect that the general sailing ships have seasonal departures, generally departing in winter and returning in summer, so as to catch up with the monsoon.

At this time, he could not think of a better way, so he could only return to the town disappointed, although he could wait until winter, but this would disrupt all his plans, although he would not lose anything, but it would slow down the development of the town.

He was tired from the day to-day, and after tonight he lay down in the tub with a towel over his head, and leaned against the side to close his eyes and recuperate.

When I was dazed, I vaguely heard someone walk in, and then the sound of entering the water, followed by a warm lower body

After getting to bed, Surin told Felicia about the fact that the fleet could not leave now, and wanted to hear if there was anything she could do.

"It's a simple solution, just change to a boat that can go against the wind. Felicia's answer was simple, as if she hadn't said anything.

"What ship can go against the wind"

Halfway through speaking, Surin immediately thought of something, and then lay on the bed and laughed.

Seeing her like this, Felicia was also stunned for a moment, shook her head and lay down to rest.

The next day, Surin summoned Prang and Debi to discuss how to get the ship to sail.

When everyone arrived, he was the first to speak: "Now because of the summer winds, the ship cannot sail, so we must change the sails of the ship." ”

"Change sails?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, no matter how the canvas is changed, it is not always like that, it is the same whether it is changed or not.

Looking at their puzzled faces, Surin continued to explain: "Now cargo ships use crosssails, which cannot be turned or sail against the wind, so they must use longitudinal sails. ”

At this time, Debi also glanced at Pu Lang and the others, and could only understand Su Lin's words, which roughly meant that there was a kind of sail that could make the ship sail against the wind.

"Lord Duke, what is a sail and what is a sail?"

"Is the ship really capable of going against the wind?"

In the face of these problems, Su Lin also slowly explained to them, the so-called sail, refers to the sail that cannot be rotated and fixed, the general quadrangular sail is a sail, and the individual spinnaker is a longitudinal sail, because it can rotate.

The advantage of the sail is that it can run fast when it is downwind, but it cannot move when it is upwind, and the speed of the sail will be slightly slower when it is downwind, but it can be zigzag to sail against the wind.

After hearing his explanation, everyone understood a little, and someone immediately asked: "Lord Duke, if we want the sail to turn, then the canvas must be a single piece, so should we make a larger canvas?"

"No, even if it were built, a canvas wouldn't be able to support the massive hull to move it, so we had to use a stiff sail. Surin named the hard sails unique to Chinese sailing boats, which had not been seen in the Western world.

"What's a hard sail?"

"Of course, a hard sail is a hard canvas!"

Seeing that they were arguing again, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Okay, you are all quiet, I have already asked people to prepare the materials for making hard sails, you can follow me to see it!"

With that, he got up and walked outside, the hard sail and the soft sail on the ship are different in addition to the material of production, and the way of operation is also different.

At this time, the sail is generally composed of multiple pieces of canvas, and the sail must be raised by a sailor to climb on the mast and lower the canvas, which is cumbersome and dangerous, and many sailors die every year.

The Chinese hard sail is a whole piece, the sail is pulled directly from below, if you encounter danger directly cut the rope, the canvas will fall, the operation is very simple and convenient, easy to master, the sailor does not need complex training, and it is also a longitudinal sail system, which can rotate in all directions, known as being able to eat the eight-sided wind, and can adapt to more complex waters.

Now that Surin has this era, there are powerful creatures such as dragons and griffins, and there must be other unknown creatures, and if you want to get them, sailing skills are the key, and he believes that in the near future, the age of sails will definitely come.
