survival in the wilderness

Chapter 174

After harvesting the wheat, Yun Qing devoted himself to the preparations for the fleet's trip.

Candidates have already been determined, a total of 52 people.This time I plan to go out for a month, and I need to bring enough supplies. The food for more than 50 people is not a small expense.

The material department gave wheat according to the approved application, and the finance department also gave them money to buy meat and so on.

Grind the wheat into flour and take it with you. It is better to make some durable pancakes, steamed buns, jerky and so on.

Yun Qing handed over the preparation of supplies to Lan Xing, and personally watched the distribution of weapons.

I brought twenty crossbows, fifteen bows and two hundred arrows, and some spears and swords.

Everything was ready by May [-]rd.

Lin Yan packed two small sacks, Hua Hong and Jin Zai carried one each, and sent her to the pier.

The same is true for other people who are going. The family members carry big and small bags to give away.

Alan and Heitu came to the pier on behalf of the arbitration tribunal, and looked at the three ships ready to go. They were worried, but more hopeful.

This is an extraordinary journey, and the fleet of Sun City set off again for an unknown journey.This is an exploration and adventure, and it is the beginning of getting out of this area.

Sufficient equipment such as food and weapons means that Sun City's fleet has achieved the best configuration in every aspect.Everything is for their safe return.

A Lan told Yun Qing: "Remember, don't act rashly, everything is the safety of everyone. Even if you get nothing, you have to take everyone home."

"I will." Yun Qing nodded solemnly. This time, Lin Yan, Shi Zhi, Feng Wenwen, Shui Sheng, Huang Ying and Lan Yue are in the team. They are the backbone of the future, and there must be no mistakes.

Seeing the young man's face full of vigor and anticipation for the journey, Alan smiled and said, "They are all good boys, you should take care of them as much as you can."

Yun Qing nodded again.

Heitu also said: "These people will be handed over to you, take care, we will wait for your smooth return."

Amid the concerns of the people who were seeing off, the boat slowly left the shore.

The people on the boat waved to the shore and embarked on the unknown journey with infinite longing.

The people on the pier gradually dispersed until the boat was out of sight.Alan stared at the direction where the boat disappeared, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Bai Yun was by her side, "Go back. They will return home safely."

"Yeah, that's what they say, but I still can't let go of the worries in my heart. I really don't know if it's right or wrong to let them go."

"People have already left, so it's meaningless to talk about it. All we can do is protect Sun City and wait for them to come back."

Bai Yun was also worried, but she knew that no one could stop the fleet from traveling.

Ah Lan didn't know, "Let's go, go back. We still have a lot of things to do. We have to check whether the new season's wheat seeds have been sown."

On the boat, seeing Shi Zhi constantly taking out various tools, Lin Yan was stunned, "You really want to do experiments on the boat?"

"Yes, the time on the ship must not be wasted. Besides, we can't do anything else when the ship is moving. We can't keep looking out."

Lin Yan looked at her sack, which contained clothes, food, paper and pens, etc. She asked, "Did you bring a change of clothes and food?"

"I brought clothes." Shi Zhi didn't know why, "Isn't there food on the boat, why do you bring food?"

"It's common sense to go out in case of emergencies. You don't just bring a change of clothes, do you?"

Shi Zhi looked at Lin Yan with the expression that you were right.

Lin Yan raised his forehead, "Didn't I say that I should bring more clothes and food, but you didn't listen."

She looked at Shuisheng and the others, "What about you?"

It was also the first time for Shui Sheng and Huang Ying to come out by boat. If they were like Shi Zhi, they would probably have a difficult time ahead.

They planned to stay outside for a month. Although the boat provided meals, they could barely eat enough. Don't expect extravagant food.

Huang Ying laughed and said, "I brought some herbs, clothes and food too."

"I've brought them too." Shui Sheng thought carefully and made full preparations for this trip.

The remaining Fengwenwen and Lanyue are all people who have gone out and are well prepared.

The five of them stared at Shi Zhi together, embarrassed that he was a different kind.

"Shi Zhi, you are usually so smart, why are you so unreliable, I have told you again and again, and you have heard it all gone."

Lin Yan was really speechless to Shi Zhi.

Shi Zhi didn't feel that what he did was wrong at all, "I brought enough things, this is on a boat, so I don't need to bring so much."

Lan Yue said: "Shi Zhi is right. It's already like this, let's take care of him more on the way."

"That's right, I can reach Yanghe tomorrow, and when I get there, I can go down the river, and I can walk a lot in a day." Lin Yan is looking forward to tomorrow, and the unknown makes people have infinite longing.

"Have you calculated how much you can travel in a day at full speed downstream?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "Although I haven't calculated it specifically, I can walk at least three or four hundred miles downstream."

Lan Yue praised: "It takes at least four or five days to travel three hundred miles on land. The boat is fast, and it can travel this far in one day."

Huang Ying looked at the receding vegetation on both sides, "Going against the water is faster than people walking. How many people are rowing underneath?"

Several of them were sitting on the big boat, which is the No. [-] boat.For the convenience of management, the three ships were numbered when they came out this time. According to the time they were made, they were number one, number two and number three.

Lin Yan said: "Ten paddlers. They rotate every two hours to ensure that the speed of the boat does not decrease."

The bigger the ship, the more oarsmen are needed. If you want a big ship to move forward smoothly, these oarsmen are all trained and obey the command of the helmsman.

Ever since the ship was built, Yun Qing began to train manpower in the military department, cultivating helmsmen and oarsmen for the ship to travel.

Usually these people practice rowing on the Sun River.It can be said that every departure of the fleet requires the efforts and preparations of countless people.

"The people who paddle are also very hard. We can sit on the boat, talk and laugh easily, and do whatever we want. It's all their hard work."

Hearing what Shui Sheng said, several people nodded in agreement, it was true.

The weight on board depends on the efforts of the oarsmen to travel far, and they are the most tiring people on board.

Not only to be responsible for the forward movement of the ship, but also to shoulder the safety of everyone on board.In case of emergency, oarsmen should take up arms to fight against the enemy.

Shi Zhi suddenly said: "Can't other powers be used instead of manpower? It's still too laborious to push the boat through the water with manpower."

Everyone looked at Lin Yan together, she must know the answer.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "There must be a way to replace manpower. It's just that we can't do it under our current conditions. When we find more resources, we can start to improve. In the future, the boat will be able to move forward on the water without being rowed by humans. will be faster."

"How?" Shi Zhi stared at Lin Yan with bright eyes.
