Chapter 373 Noah's Ark

Qiu Wuhen said: "You always stop me and don't let me make money. What do you mean?"

"Because it's very simple. This coral island will soon face extinction. Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver here, you can't take it away with you."

Qiu Wuhen took a breath of cold air: "What do you mean? Why is there such a disaster? What exactly is it?"

"I don't know the specifics. I checked before I came here. There are many records near the coral island here that show that the coral island will sink to the bottom of the sea today and cause a tsunami, which will be overwhelming and no one can survive. So what you want

The greater the number of gold and silver treasures, the heavier the burden will be on you, and you will eventually have to throw them away, just like the box of gold leaves earlier."

Qiu Wuhen was already stunned by the news: "You mean you checked the records and it was indeed today?"

"Yes, it should start soon."

Qiu Wuhen was stunned, looking at the medicine gourd in his mind and said: "Then what should I do? Aren't I going to die?"

"I told you, I will save your life at the last moment of life and death, so don't worry."

"Then I came here to find Emperor Jianwen. This island is about to be destroyed. How can I find him?"

"This is beyond my ability. You can only rely on yourself."

"But let me tell you, since the end is not yet here, I still have to collect money. If you don't want me to collect money, then I will go on strike this time. You see, everyone here is obsessed with money.

If you want me to do something, at least you can't let me freeze and starve, right?"

This was the first time Qiu Wuhen refuted Yao Gulu's meaning. He was really angry and felt that the future was bleak. Moreover, this damn Yao Gourd was still rigid and cold. He didn't care whether Yao Gourd would be angry or not. He was already already

Angry.

After a long while, I heard Yao Gulu muffledly say: "Then I'll listen to you and I won't do it again."

Seeing Qiu Wuhen standing there in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't accept the money from others, so Ling'er took it all for him one by one and said to them: "This little Taoist priest may be lucky."

After all, it takes a lot of energy to treat you with Taoist methods. Don't disturb him. You can go back and come to me if you need anything."

Those few people thanked Qiu Wuhen who was standing there stunned, and then they went their separate ways.

Seeing Qiu Wuhen stupidly there, Ling'er didn't rush him, and waited for him with a lot of money. Finally, Qiu Wuhen came back to his senses from the conversation with Yao Gulu, looked at Ling'er and said, "What about these

It’s money for you, I said I’ll give it all to you.”

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said, "Take the money for me and follow me."

Ling'er didn't ask where she was going and returned to the stall. Qiu Wuhen said to Zhang Tiezui: "I have something urgent to deal with. You can settle today's bill first and give me my share."

Zhang Tiezui looked at the sky and said, "It's almost midnight. I have to close the stall. Let's pay the bill."

Zhang Tiezui has a very good memory. He clearly remembers every previous income. Each of them had half. He figured out that Qiu Wuhen should get half, so he gave him all the money. The result was two-fold.

There is a lot of money, plus the previous earnings add up to three cans, and they are all tied with thread.

Qiu Wuhen didn't answer, turned to Ling'er and said, "Hold it for me."

Ling'er pouted and said: "You are simply punishing me. This money is not mine, so you asked me to take it. Just looking at it makes me greedy and I can't hold it. Just because of this, I should accept it from you."

Money. Forget it, I see you are quite pitiful and stupid, so I won’t charge you any money, and all my hard work has been in vain.”

Qiu Wuhen smiled: "You are the only one who doesn't talk about money with me. Yes, I will save your life if possible."

"If you save my life, do I have to give you money? First of all, it's too expensive and I can't afford it."

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "Now let's go find a place and prepare life-saving things."

Because although Yao Gulu will save him in a critical moment, the words "crisis" make Qiu Wuhen feel lingering fear. Previously, critical moments were very scary, so it is better to take precautions and make preparations to make yourself comfortable. I also want to see

Do you want to see if you can escape and ascend to heaven by your own strength? Anyway, with Yao Gulu behind him, he will save him in critical moments, so Qiu Wuhen is in a relatively relaxed mood.

Before this, he had seen huge trees both inside and outside the village on the island. Some trees could only be carried by more than a dozen people. The trunks of the trees alone were about the size of a small submarine. Such a big tree

It would be a good idea to use trees to make a submarine. I just wonder if danger will come before the submarine is ready?

Yao Gulu said that the disaster started tonight, but he did not say that the entire island would completely sink. There should still be some time before it sank.

He originally wanted to find a blacksmith to build an iron box, but then he thought about it and realized that steel is actually very unreliable in water, especially the lack of modern high-tech shipbuilding technology. It is simply unreliable to use steel to make it. It is better to use wood.

, and the last storm also let them know that the mast of the ship can still be broken by the storm, but the mast of the ship will generally not be broken unless it is directly hit on the rock, so trees as thick as the mast are used to separate the middle

Hollowing it out and making something like a submarine should be a relatively better way to escape.

But I don’t know how long it will take to build such a rescue capsule. Let’s see if we can find some help.

He said to Ling'er: "You have a lot of opportunities, can you help me hire laborers? I want to chop down a big tree, the kind that many people can't carry, and hollow out the middle to make a tree house, but there are no windows.

As long as a small person can climb in and out of a door, is there any way?"

"As long as you give him money, there is nothing you can't do on this island, especially labor. As long as you take care of the food, give him ten cents, and you can get as much as you want."

Qiu Wuhen was so happy that something was so cheap. He immediately said: "Okay, let's get started. You help me, the more the better. Then we find a big tree with many people hugging it."

If it doesn't come, cut it down and build a wooden house."

"What are you doing building a log house? Aren't you in our house?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Just do what I want. I'm telling you, doing it right will be very helpful in saving your life."

"Save my life, use a tree house to save my life, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that this matter is of great importance, and it may be related to your life and mine. That is enough."

"Forget it, you're always nagging me. I'm too lazy to ask. Just do it. It's your money anyway."

So Ling'er took him and started searching near the outside of the town, and soon found a tree he liked. The trunk was so straight that it took more than a dozen people to hold it. It was some distance away from the market town, and construction work was going on here.

, people in the market town generally won't notice it, because there are many people logging outside. There are many trees on the island, but no one cares about them, and they are not valuable.

Qiu Wuhen asked Ling'er to find twenty or thirty carpenters and start work immediately. Ling'er asked curiously: "It's late at night and many people are asleep. Do you want to wait until the next day?"

Qiu Wuhen shook his head: "We can't wait, the construction must be done immediately, and there will be an extra five cents for each person doing the work at night."

When Ling'er heard this, she said: "It's no problem to add more money, and five cents is already a lot. I'll call them."

Soon, Ling'er found twenty or thirty carpenters. They paid ten cents a day for food and accommodation. She was so happy. Qiu Wuhen was sad. It seemed that manpower was really cheap on the island. If so, then he would

It took three hundred coins to almost build Noah's Ark, which is quite promising.

Then they began to cut the wood. Some carpenters climbed up to the top of the tree and tied themselves with ropes. Others pulled in one direction, and others started sawing in the opposite direction. This ensured that the direction of the falling wood was controllable, so as to avoid falling.

Come down and crush people.

Twenty or thirty people sawed down the largest tree without much effort.

The village fell in an open space. Qiu Wuhen had already drawn a sketch on paper and designed a submarine similar to that made of wood. A door that a person could climb into should be dug at one end of the tree stump. The entrance and exit of this door is

It consists of two wooden plugs inside and outside. The outer plug is tightened with a rope and will be tightly plugged under the pressure of the water. There is a stockade inside. In an emergency, if the outer plug is unplugged, the water can be blocked from the inside.

.

There are two ventilation holes on the top and bottom of this stump. They are about the thickness of your thumb and can be plugged with plugs. Because if such a big tree is hollowed out in the middle, it will definitely float on the sea. No matter which side is facing up, there will be a ventilation hole.

The stomata are exposed on the sea surface and can be used for ventilation.

Qiu Wuhen doesn't plan to buy food and water now. He believes that until the signs of the island sinking begin to appear and the world is in chaos, food will not require money and no one will care about it. Then he can just go get the fresh water.

All can be prepared in advance.

Construction was going on all night, and when it was almost dawn, suddenly there was a faint sound of thunder, which was so rumble that even the ground was shaking. Everyone was startled, the carpenters stopped their work, and looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what had happened.

What? And the sound goes on and on, with no intention of stopping.

Qiu Wuhen was even more frightened, but fortunately, the sound gradually became quieter, and the small vibrations slowly stopped. Only then did everyone calm down, and Qiu Wuhen finally understood that this should be a prelude to the coming disaster.

He did not comfort everyone. You comfort them at this time, but let them focus on this. He just asked Ling'er to buy some meat cakes and broth and come over to make breakfast for everyone, telling everyone that they eat meat three meals a day.

Cake, meat soup, and a pot of vegetable soup are enough.

These carpenters rarely eat meat, but now they can actually eat meat. They are so happy. After eating, they feel more energetic, more energetic and faster.

However, after the trees were felled, there was only one entrance, so it was useless to have more people. At most, there were only two or three carpenters working inside, so they were divided into several groups and took turns to work, which could save physical strength. In addition, other carpenters prepared
