Chapter 2139 Modification of wooden boats

"Good uncle, why is the sun purple?" Ji Yang looked at the eastern sky and saw the bright purple sunrise. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in an O shape. He was a little doubtful that he had not woken up from his dream.
"The nuclear magnetic storm surge has impacted the entire Lost Land. From now on, the sun, moon and stars will all be purple."
Jiang Yimei said next to him, looking at the sky worriedly and then at Yin Dong: "Why don't we dig a cave and live underground?"
Yin Dong frowned, looked in the direction of Henggou, shook his head, and said: "There are strange fish hitting the island all the time on the Henggou side. Maybe at some point, the island here on our side will be like the entire island group.
Peel off, like the previous island, it will be smashed into pieces, and it will not be safe to live underground.”
"Then what should we do?" Jiang Yimei's voice was filled with tears.
"There is only one way, go back to the land!"
Yin Dong expressed his thoughts frankly and said: "I want to test whether the raft made of gum tree can be waterproof. If it can, I will use the remaining gum tree to add a cabin under the raft."
This idea was a bit whimsical. Jiang Yimei tolerated it for a while and did not object directly. He just raised a very practical question: "Even if the raft made of gum trees does not leak, the remaining gum trees can be used to rebuild the raft smoothly."
If we become a boat, can we still use pennies to punt it?"
Ji Yang interjected: "Let the pig pull the boat!"
Jiang Yimei laughed with a "poof", and quickly said to Yin Dong: "I'm not laughing at you, it's Yangyang's words that are too funny. Really."
If she didn't add the last two words, her words would be more true.
Yin Dong didn't care about being laughed at anymore, his eyes were full of approval, falling on Yangyang's cute smiling face, and said: "Yangyang is right, if the wild boar can swim, let the pig pull the boat, this is a good idea!
"
The lame wolf must have understood. He howled with a "ouch" and drove all the wild boars into the pool, letting Yin Dong watch the wild boars swimming in the water.
"You are really an old wolf who knows how to herd pigs!"
Yin Dong laughed and asked the lame wolf to direct the wild boars to push the raft into the pool.
The raft floated on the water and did not sink into the water. There was glue between the tree trunks to fill the gaps, and there was no water seepage. Yin Dong left the raft in the pool and soaked it for three days, but no water seeped out.
"Old Wolf, the island is not safe. I want to return to land as soon as possible. Will you follow me?"
Yin Dong stood by the fence of the raft, looking at the purple-lit pool water, and what he asked was the lame wolf lying at his feet.
"Woo-"
The lame wolf barked twice, which sounded affectionate.
Yin Dong lowered his head and glanced at the lame wolf. He didn't know if it was too fanciful to let this wolf be responsible for commanding the wild boars to pull the boat. However, this idea was at least more reliable than him catching sea fish to pull the boat, right?
In the following days, Yin Dong began to modify the raft.
Gum trees are really useful, and Yin Dong got all the gum trees in the entire gum forest and transformed them into a ship that can sail in the sea, or they can be roughly assembled into the shape of a ship, which is still no problem.
of.
The lame wolf commanded the wild boar herd and became Yin Dong's assistant. Being able to execute his orders perfectly saved him a lot of effort. Later, Jiang Yimei couldn't help but admire: "Maybe the old wolf led the wild boar herd to pull the wild boar."
The boat is really doable."
"Ouch——"
The lame wolf screamed in dissatisfaction, "What does this woman mean? Who is she looking down on?"
When it barked, the wild boar herd followed and howled.
"Okay, stop barking and get to work!" Yin Dong shouted, and both the howling of wolves and pigs stopped.
Ji Yang exclaimed: "Even pigs understand the words of a good uncle!"
Jiang Yimei laughed, looked at Yin Dong jokingly and said, "Yes, you are so awesome, even pigs understand what you say!"
The face with a smile as bright as a summer flower had the same hint of cunning, which made Yin Dong's heart flutter inexplicably, and then he suppressed it again and continued to modify the wooden boat as if nothing had happened.
This ship has a retaining wall on the bow, the curved surface and the upturned bottom surface. The bark is peeled off, and the sap flowing out is scraped with wooden boards. When the sap dries, it becomes very smooth.
And the adhesion is very strong.
Yin Dong used tree vines soaked in gum sap to weave hundreds of bridle covers and fixed them on both sides of the hull. These were prepared for the wild boars. The bridle covers under the bow fender were the largest, which he planned to try.
Catch sea fish and pull the boat.
During the renovation of the wooden ship, Yin Dong also opened a kiln to burn charcoal and boiled salt with sea water. He obtained a large amount of charcoal and sea salt, which were stuffed into the cabin, filling the cabin to the brim.
Under the pergola of the wooden boat, there were also many rattan baskets filled with herbs, yams, kudzu and other roots, as well as dried bacon, which was enough to save Yin Dong and others from eating for a year.
As for the lame wolves and wild boars, Yin Dong has been consciously training them to eat fish and seaweed.
Wild boars are omnivorous animals. When exposed to purple light, they show signs of mutation. Their eyes turn red and their tempers are bad. Some of the most powerful wild boars have bulges on their heads, as if they are about to grow horns. Therefore, their diet seems to be
They have also changed. They like to eat the big fish that Yin Dong catches from the sea. They also seem much calmer when eating sea fish.
"Perhaps the nuclear magnetic energy in the ocean is more intense?"
Jiang Yimei also observed the changes in the wild boar herd, became more worried, and no longer resisted Yin Dong's seemingly unreliable voyage plan.
Of course, it was also because the impact from the direction of the horizontal ditch became more and more violent, the ground surface shook more and more violently, and began to shake violently, as if this large island body would peel off at any time.
What frightened Jiang Yimei the most was that when the latest impact wave came, the cliff connected by the stone beams collapsed after shaking, and countless rubbles shot out from across the pool.
There was a half-grown wild boar cub, which was digging in the mud not far from the door of the triangular shack. It was hit by a flying stone, and its head was shot on the spot. It fell to the ground with a large pool of blood, and let out a sharp howl.
His short legs twitched a few times and he died.
Jiang Yimei was stunned when he saw this scene with his own eyes.
She couldn't help but think that if their mother and daughter were still in the cave on the cliff, their deaths would be even more miserable than this half-grown piggy!
Even the caves on the cliff are no longer safe. Where else on this island is safe?
Jiang Yimei didn't dare to think about it anymore. The idea of ​​leaving this island was extremely urgent, even more urgent than Yin Dong: "We have to set sail while the marine life has just begun to mutate and evolve. Otherwise, the longer time passes, the more sea beasts will evolve."
Stronger and more ferocious, our voyage will be more dangerous."
"Then let's set sail!"
Chapter completed!
