Chapter 108: The Day of Departure (Add. 12/20)
"The three bottlenecks may take many years, and I may not be able to break through them in a lifetime, in fact, I don't have such a high inner motivation, I just follow the times."
"So that's it, the busy days passed in a hurry, I seemed to forget the death of my wife, and I didn't think about continuing the string, even if there were more and more warblers and swallows dancing around, they didn't know that I was [Tiansha Lone Star], maybe when they would be killed."
"Occasionally, I see Lu Tuyu and your sister's married life, and I am quite envious."
"That day, my daughter suddenly asked me, Dad, when are we going to the amusement park? Before she knew it, she was already in junior high school, and she was going to take the high school entrance examination next year, so she was a big girl. ”
"I said to her, Daddy is very busy at work, you can go with your classmates."
"That's when I noticed some of my own psychological changes."
Zhang Ming sighed slightly.
Wang Fumin continued in the letter: "In the past, I should have said that we will go this weekend or next weekend, and you can bring your classmates. I am a person who loves my daughter very much, but now I have to focus on my work and want to climb my status a little higher. ”
"The ability of [Heavenly Evil Lone Star] still brought me some psychological changes. I actually wanted to live like I used to, but I didn't dare, in case something happened to my daughter...... Then, I lost the motivation to live. ”
"I can only focus on my work."
"The times of the past are gone, and the past is gone."
"Your galleon, it should be ready to be built soon, right? Looking forward to seeing you one day. ”
"Wang Fumin, leave a word."
Zhang Ming let out a long sigh, had a lot of thoughts, and copied the letter into the "Memory Library" to treasure it forever.
"Today is the day I set off, Lao Wang, I will definitely invite you to drink when we meet."
Creation makes people.
Eight years has really changed a lot.
Compared with the grand narrative of the whole earth, the personal little things encountered by these relatives and friends can tug at his heartstrings even more.
He didn't have any sense of war or anything like that......
No matter how many deaths there are, they are just numbers, no different from those in video games.
After sorting out the memories, it took more than an hour to take care of my personal luggage, but in fact, there was nothing but some shipbuilding tools.
Most of the important materials were put into the big shells.
There are also tools, such as alcohol stills, balances, abacus, etc., all left to the turtles, and perhaps in the distant future, they will also be able to use these.
With a solemn look, he shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, bathed and changed his clothes.
Then, the bottles and cans left here were polished!
A sense of ritual is very important.
"Ahh Today is the time to set sail, and everyone is waiting for you! The little white tortoise roared anxiously outside the room, as if it were even more anxious than he was.
"It's coming, it's coming!" After Zhang Ming finished shaving, he walked out of the house in good spirits.
From the top of the slope, he saw a huge wooden ship—a large sailing ship that he had built with his own hands!
A large flock of turtles surrounds the sailboat, frolicking happily, you arch it with your head, it arches, and you can hear the "ahhh
These big turtles have spent so many years, and they have gradually accepted that Zhang Ming is leaving, and when this day really comes, they are fanatical and excited.
Zhang Ming was also very excited, rode on the scar turtle that rushed over, swam to the sailboat, and put all the tools on his body in the warehouse.
"Dear friends, today is the day to set sail."
"I have taught you all the knowledge that can be taught, and I have also burned the content I don't understand on the slate, so I have the time to review it, don't pull down the homework!"
"Ahh A group of turtles swam excitedly around, as if to compete with the sailboat for swimming speed.
Zhang Ming inspected every corner of the sailboat with excitement.
The vessel is about 40 meters long and 6 meters wide, with three large sails and a deck covered with aluminium.
The cabin was crammed with supplies, from repair materials to food and water.
I have to say that a real sailboat can sail even against the wind!
When sailing against the wind, adjusting the angle of the hull and sail at the same time breaks down the wind force of the headwind into two forces: one pushes towards the side of the hull, the other pushes in the direction of the bow, the force on the side is canceled out by the drag of the hull draft, and the other force pushes the hull towards the bow.
Every once in a while, change the direction of the hull and sails so that the boat can follow a zigzag course.
In navigation, this method of sailing is called "sailing in the wind".
"It's not in vain that I've been studying the theoretical knowledge for so long!" Zhang Ming hoisted the sails and walked around the sea, very satisfied with the effect of the voyage.
Even though he had tried many voyages, when the day really came, there was still an indescribable sense of heroism and a subtle sense of unease.
Two contradictory feelings are mixed together and turn into reluctance.
The material of the wooden boat is made of the most corrosion-resistant and sturdy wood on the island, "water pine", and its surface is painted with a thick layer of resin, which further resists the corrosion of seawater.
As for the sails, they are made from fish skins accumulated from years of hunting.
The mechanical structure of the hull has been carefully planned and designed, and there are multiple waterproof cabins in the cabin, so that even if several of them enter the water, the sailboat will not sink.
This is the crystallization of wisdom and sweat!
"Xiaobai, this is your room."
Xiaobai shouted "ahhh
This sundeck is made from the shell of an ancestral turtle, and it is also a supernatural curiosity, which is said to guide it to better practice the "Xuanwu Breathing Technique", and it also has a certain protective effect.
Xiaobai's room is actually quite simple, except for the sundeck and the large water tank, there is no furniture, and even ...... Leaking air on all sides!
As a descendant of Xuanwu, it is resistant to heat and cold, and an overly comfortable living environment will make it comfortable.
This is also the old white turtle personally planned, so that it can live a miserable life every day.
"Shi Mama, this is your room." Zhang Ming pointed with his hand.
Shi Mama's residence is a kennel.
The black stone rolled over reluctantly.
Then, directly defying gravity, rolled to the mast, pretending to be a radio.
"Okay, wherever you are, don't live with me."
Zhang Ming really doesn't want to live with it, this repeater suddenly becomes obscene, it will make people's blood pressure explode, and they will have a direct stroke!
As for his own room, it is naturally spacious and bright, with a bed, a table, a bookcase, and some wood, stone and other raw materials, so that he can entertain himself in his spare time and carve a wood carving or something.
Even, in the bedroom where Zhang Ming is, there is a final insurance - a strange big shell.
The big shell could float on the water, and if the boat did sink, he would have to swim back slowly with the big shell on his back - hopefully this day wouldn't come.
Next to the bedroom, there was a large warehouse, which contained water, food, all kinds of raw materials for repairing ships, all kinds of throwing weapons, and more than a thousand sharp fishbone spears, which were not a good thing, and even if they were lost, they would not feel distressed.
There is also a vegetable garden on the deck, which produces balanced nutrients and vitamins.
"Perfect for a big ship!" Zhang Ming deeply praised the fruits of his labor.
In fact, he could have built bigger ships, but it would have taken too long.
His productivity alone was too limited, and the stupid turtles weren't of much use, and he really didn't want to spend decades building bigger ships.
In this way, after all the inspection items were completed, Zhang Ming drove the sailboat, returned to the island, and finally worshiped the sick "little tree" that was close to withering—that is, the "Gaia consciousness" of this world.
