survival in the wilderness

Chapter 173 Getting better and better
Thinking that everyone wanted to go out by boat, Lin Yan felt a little dizzy, so he got up to look for Yun Qing.

When they arrived, Yun Qing was training the people below, Lin Yan smiled and waved, signaling Yun Qing to come over.

"Captain Yun Qing, I have something to ask of you."

Yun Qing nodded, pointed to a corner not far away, "Go over there and talk."

Looking at Yun Qing's expressionless face, Lin Yan bit the bullet and said, "Do you have any plans for the boat's next trip?"

Yun Qing nodded, "In a month's time, the wheat harvest will be finished and we will leave."

"Where's the route?" Lin Yan took out the map he drew, "This is the map I drew based on what I saw last time when I went out, take a look, next time I plan to go up along the Yang River, or down to the east. "

Yun Qing looked at it seriously, "What do you think?"

"I want to go to the east and go down the river. To the north, we crossed Hengshan Mountain to Pinghu Lake. We have already walked through it once. This time, we will go to places we haven't been to and explore where the Yanghe River goes."

According to Lin Yan's deduction, the final return journey of the big rivers is the sea, and there may be different discoveries along the Yanghe River.

"That's it. That's why you're looking for me?"

"There is something else. Next time the ship goes out, can the number of labs be increased by one?"

There are two places in the laboratory for these trips, Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen follow, they are the builders of the ship, if there is any problem on the way, they can solve it easily.

"Who wants to go?" Yun Qing understood that someone wanted to go with her after thinking about it.

Lin Yan didn't hide anything, "Shi Zhi also wants to go together."

"You promised him?"

Lin Yan nodded, "He has been staying here since he was a child, and wants to go out and have a look."

After thinking about it, Yun Qing said: "The lab has a maximum of three places, no more."

As the leader of the trip, Yun Qing is responsible for the safety of everyone on board.For every additional child, there is one less warrior.Of course she hoped that as few children as possible.

"Understood, don't worry, there will be no more people."

Lin Yan also understood that every time he went out was an adventure, and the potential dangers could not be predicted.The more people who can fight, the more chances of winning.

She couldn't help thinking, how would Shuisheng persuade Yun Qing?Shui Sheng's body is thin and thin at first glance, and he looks very weak. He only has a good brain, so he doesn't have much advantage in traveling with him.

Yun Qing suddenly said: "There is still more than a month to go, you might as well hurry up, it would be better if there is one more boat." She felt that the two boats were still too few, and there could only be 30 people traveling together at most.

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the wood factory to have a look. If I can drive them out, I will urge them to work overtime and try to make the boat out."

When he came to the wood factory and saw the factory director Shi Lan, Lin Yan directly explained his purpose and asked about the progress of the shipbuilding.

Shi Lan took Lin Yan to the scene to see that more than half of the ship's parts had been made.Lin Yan said: "I've been rushing to work day and night, and I can build this boat in a month. Does Director Shi think it's feasible?"

After thinking about it seriously, Shi Lan said: "The wood is ready, and the rest of the parts can be made by working overtime. It's just that other orders will be postponed. Every family is in a hurry to use the shelf car, and the processing of the crossbow arm, I will No delay."

The wood factory has received too many orders, not including the large orders for boats and frame trucks, and there are also many furniture and small parts processing. They work overtime every day, but they still cannot meet the needs of customers.

"Master Shi, the progress of the ship cannot be delayed. We urgently need a ship to travel. You also know that one more ship can take more than a dozen people. The design of the ship that is being worked on has been changed. Once it is completed, It can carry 25 people. You help to find a way to make the boat out earlier.”

Seeing Lin Yan's pleading, Shi Lan gritted her teeth and agreed, "It's okay to catch up with the progress. The carpenter's progress will be slowed down when he is inaccurate in some places. Why don't you come and watch in person."

"Okay. Tomorrow, Feng Wenwen and I will come to the wood factory to help."

Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "With the two of you personally taking care of it, the carpenter will definitely be able to finish the boat as soon as possible."

The next day, Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen entered the carpentry factory. From that day on, they worked together with the carpenter day and night, and finally built the new boat after 25 days.

It can be seen at a glance that the new boat is much larger than the original boat. On the day of launching, hundreds of people moved the boat to the pier together and witnessed that moment together.

When the boat successfully entered the water and moved slowly on the water, everyone burst into thunderous cheers.

Yun Qing stood on the pier, looking at the big ship, her mood constantly fluctuated.With the addition of the new boat, there are three boats to travel again, which can form a team of more than 50 people.

Equipped with good weapons, they can go far.

Thinking of this, Yun Qing's heart was surging, and she just wanted to leave early.

Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen stood one at the bow and the other at the stern, with full energy, observing every part of the ship.

As the ship moves, they pay close attention to whether there are any leaks in the connections and the draft.

Two hours later, the boat docked and everything was normal.

The boat is ready, just waiting for the wheat to be harvested before it can set off.

A few days later, the harvesting of wheat was vigorously carried out, and everyone in Sun City participated.

Lin Yan was no exception. He went to the field to harvest wheat, worked hard for five days, and took more than ten acres of wheat back home.

Three more days of busy grinding in the yard before all the wheat was threshed and bagged.Seeing the bags of wheat, Lin Yan was thoughtful.

The wheat field planted this year is the same as last year, but two sacks were harvested more than last year.

Huahong also found out, "This season's wheat harvest is good. It still needs intensive cultivation to increase the yield."

"It's not just that. The best wheat ears are selected for each season's wheat seeds. When the seeds are ready, the production will naturally increase."

"You're right. In the future, you need to be more careful when choosing wheat seeds. If the wheat seeds are not good, the loss will be too great."

Lin Yan nodded, "Niang, Dad, when picking wheat seeds in the future, try to pick when the stalks are still growing in the ground, and pick the ones with strong plants and long and plump ears."

Now the wheat seeds are selected from the harvested wheat ears, without considering the influence of the wheat seedlings.

Hua Hong and Jin Zai fully agreed that if they could find good wheat seeds, of course they would be happy.

In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ah Lan was very satisfied with the statistical results submitted by Yucai.

Every season after the wheat is harvested, Yucai will bring people from door to door to record the harvest. The number of acres planted and the number of kilograms of wheat harvested are clearly recorded.

Seeing that the total wheat harvest this season was more than 1 catties more than the previous season, Ah Lan's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

The population of Sun City is increasing, and it keeps increasing every year, so the food pressure can be imagined.

To keep so many people from starving, the food issue is the most important thing. Alan and the tribunal are most concerned about the annual wheat planting.

The good thing is that the results are getting better and better each season, enough to feed everyone.

　I accidentally became a Xiaoyang person. I feel better today. I will change it every day. When I recover, I will write well.
