survival in the wilderness

Chapter 155 Test Ship
When Tie Da heard the news, he couldn't believe it. "It's really only 5 cents. Will you help me build the tung oil workshop?"

Lin Yan looked at him with a smile, "Of course it's true. This is the first product sold by the laboratory. You are the first person, and we will definitely provide good service. You can contact Ye Cong for specific matters. He is very responsible for the whole process. They all know better, and will help you design oil workshops and customize various tools.”

Tie Daxi couldn't help but went to look for Ye Cong.

A few days later, Lin Yan heard from Hua Hong that all the foundations of the commercial street were sold, and he had to inspect the land the next day, and pay after confirmation on the spot.

Huahong and Jinzai had already stepped on that area, and the space was big enough for them to choose, so they asked Lin Yan, "Should we choose in the middle of the street or on both sides?"

"In the middle. I heard that both sides occupy a relatively large area. Our family only needs the foundation of four houses, so we don't need to consider the two sides."

Lin Yan thought that he would make the last part of the ship model with Feng Wenwen tomorrow, so he said, "Just go and book the land, I don't have time to go there."

Huahong said: "It's such a big thing, why don't you go and see it yourself, we will write your name on it, it's your property, you really don't want to go?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "You can do it. When the foundation is bought and the house is built, I will design the house for us."

The family's Ju Ma has harvested another crop, and Hua Hong and Jin Zai are very busy every day.

"When the third crop of hemp is planted, our family will build a house and move the restaurant there before the cold season."

"In such a hurry, it's fine to open a restaurant at home, and it's okay to move when I'm not busy next year." Huahong felt that the time was too rushed.

Maidi is inseparable from people, and restaurants are usually open, and every day is very busy.

Lin Yan thought about it too, "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to move the restaurant there as soon as possible, and then build the house when I have time."

In the evening, he continued to copy the dictionary. Looking at the thick dictionary, Lin Yan was worried. It would take a year or two to finish copying everything.

It has been more than half a year since I started copying, and I have only finished one-third of the copy. Sure enough, it is quite difficult to be a porter.

"Pang Bao, is there a way to print it out directly? When will this be copied? I'm exhausted."

Fat Bao: "No. The science and technology museum is just an energy body, and it cannot be transformed into a real object."

"Oh, it's too difficult for me. When will this writing end, stroke by stroke. Especially when there are so many books waiting for me, it's too difficult."

Compared to copying books, Lin Yan prefers to delve into other things. Although copying books is effortless, it is also a physical effort. Others can't help her, so she can only write word by word by herself.

After copying six pages and shaking his sore arms and wrists, Lin Yan could finally sleep.

Fall asleep, like this every day, and start a new busy day as soon as you open your eyes.

The final part of the scaled-down model of the big ship can be completed today, and it will take a few days to assemble and deal with the shape.

During this period of time, Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen didn't leave the laboratory. With the help of five skilled carpenters, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat.

On July [-]th, I saw a model ship that could carry people. The outer layer was painted with tung oil, the gaps were filled, and finally the whole was waterproofed.

This is a three-storey boat, the bottom floor is the oarsman's position, the middle floor is the cabin, and the top floor is a viewing platform.

"We're going to be done soon. When this boat successfully tests the water, we will build a bigger boat next year." Lin Yan held the jar in his hand and brushed the oil carefully.

Feng Wenwen's eyes flashed with brilliance, "We will be able to travel far next year. After the water test is completed, we can start making the parts of the big ship."

She is very confident in this boat, and built it by herself, and every place is very clear.All designs are checked and calculated repeatedly, and theoretically there is no problem at all.

It was Lin Yan who insisted on testing the waters to make sure that the ship was in good condition before proceeding to the next step.

Lin Yan nodded, "That's right, our water voyage finally sees hope."

"Take me with you when the time comes." Feng Wenwen said while inspecting, "We can't build a big ship with just a few of us, we need the cooperation of the carpentry factory."

"Sure, otherwise it depends on when we do it. It's okay to make some small parts, but the big parts are manual work, and more people need to help. At that time, ask the wood factory to do it, and we can do the inspection."

Lin Yan has made all the plans to build a big ship, and after the success of this water test, all plans can start.

Three days later, the ship was launched into the water for testing.

This time there was no fanfare, only a few people came to witness the moment.

This time the test boat was on the Sun River, and the water in the swimming pool could not withstand the gravity of the boat.

Compared with the original small boat, this boat looks much more atmospheric and refined.

Lin Yan stood on the top platform, looked at the sparkling water, and shouted: "Let's go!"

The oarsmen at the bottom of the boat rowed the oars together, and the boat moved slowly.

Standing with Lin Yan was Yun Qing, who offered to participate in this trial.Standing tall, following the movement of the boat, Yun Qing could only feel pride welling up in her chest.

"Lin Yan, can this ship go far?"

Lin Yan nodded, "The design and materials of the boat can withstand the wear and tear of long-distance travel, but the hull is too small, and the number of people it can carry is limited. Including six oarsmen, it can only accommodate fifteen people in total, which is still too small."

The bottom of the ship is designed with an airtight compartment, which improves the safety performance of the ship.If only a few people travel far, it is still applicable.

"It's enough. I'll take a group of people out." Yun Qing couldn't hold back the agitation in her heart, she wanted to take people to explore along the Sun River first.

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, "After the trial ship is over, to ensure the safety of the ship, you can discuss with Alan and the others whether to go far."

Yun Qing nodded, "Okay. I'll mention it to them when I get back."

Feng Wenwen stood on the side, hesitant to speak.

Lin Yan glanced at her, "Don't even think about it."

Lin Yan didn't want to travel far by boat, but she told herself not to be in a hurry.It is safer to build a few more ships and form a fleet to travel.

After crossing the Sun River, the boat turned around and returned to the shore. Lin Yan looked into the distance and ordered the boat to go down.

Walking south along the Sun River for an hour, they encountered a group of big white geese.

It takes a day's walk to get here from the shore, but it can be reached in just over an hour by boat.

Yun Qing breathed heavily, "It's too fast on the water. When the geese land on the shore, we will continue to head south."

"Are you still going south?" Lin Yan was a little worried, "We have to return before dark."

"It's still early, it's only noon, we'll go back after walking for a while." Yun Qing looked at Nanfang with bright eyes.

Walking in the jungle is completely different from the scenery seen on a boat.With the speed of this ship, it can travel a long distance in half a day.

Seeing that Yun Qing was very interested, Lin Yan could only nod in response, it was indeed still early.

Some food and utensils are prepared on board, and it is possible to spend the night outside.
