Exiled to Lingnan, my plants are miraculous

Chapter 39 Ship Trial
  Cheng Hui was still a little sad looking at the lonely figure. Most people in the village were engaged in fishing, and only a few people would leave everyone, their families, or even this group for a long time.

But trade routes must be walked by people, and someone must sacrifice. If this is the case, why can't this person be Jian Xiaocheng?
  Today is the day when everyone makes a new boat and launches it into the water. It is already the middle of winter and the temperature of the sea water is even lower. The original raft is no longer suitable for practice. Naturally, it is clear that the first generation of self-made boats will be tested now. If If there are any shortcomings, they can be corrected.

The newly made boat is two meters long and one meter wide. It can only accommodate two people in the cabin. It is specially built as a water tank for storing seafood. When spring comes in Lingnan, the temperature rises rapidly. If you just put the dead seafood under the sun, If exposed to the sun, these seafood will completely deteriorate after an hour or two.

The entire boat was pieced together using mortise and tenon joints, leaving no gaps. It was painted with tung oil to prevent seawater from corroding easily. The only shortcoming was that the entire boat was a bit rough.

If the results of today's water test are good, then everyone in the village who is on the water will be equipped with one as now. As for the big ship that can sail farther, we can only slowly explore.

For half a month, the Feng family watched their new neighbors eat and drink every day. They couldn't stand the corrosion, and finally joined in and became a part of everyone. As for the Li family's wishes, Lin Yue said that their wishes were not important.

Except for Jian Xiaocheng and Guo Minglang who were on their way to find a trade route for selling dried seafood, the rest of the people in Baixiang Village were all on the beach, nervously looking at the boat. This was a boat designed and made by them without any carpentry experience.

"Okay, this boat looks much better than the raft I made. It will definitely work. Don't be so nervous. Besides, it's still early. If it doesn't work, we can continue to modify it!"

Lin Yue sat on a specially set up stool in the boat and reassured everyone. To be honest, this boat was quite practical and had taken into account all aspects, at most the issue of stability.

Because Lin Yue really didn't understand how a few planks of wood could be pieced together using the mortise and tenon joints in their mouths. Can such a ship that easily falls apart really be able to withstand the impact of waves, prevent water from getting in, and fall apart?

This touches on her knowledge blind spot. In the apocalypse, everything is basically steel and cement, and there are no wooden buildings at all. It has completely disappeared from her knowledge system.

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about! The boat your uncles have built is so good, it will definitely succeed."

Min glanced at Lin Yue angrily and spoke in frustration.

He slapped Lin Yue on the shoulder and said, "If you say something depressing or auspicious at this time, what if it comes true? Aren't you trying to attract hatred?"

But Lin Yue was really worried that this bare boat would fall apart if it was hit by the waves. Wouldn't the scene be even more embarrassing? She told everyone in advance that at least they were prepared and would not lose their composure.

Min thought she was speaking very quietly, but in fact she was quiet except for what she said, and almost everyone around her heard her.

Lin Hongzhi held his forehead, what a silly woman! He coughed twice to remind her to stop talking.

"Brothers and sisters, this is the first ship we have built. Lin Yue is right. If it fails, we will find a solution in time. Even if it fails, we will not take our anger out on a child."

Lin Hongyuan, Guo Minglang, Cheng Xiao, Feng Shiyun, and Chen Chen formed a village affairs office. All major events in the village must be approved by the five of them before they can proceed.

The boat this time was built based on the needs. Making the boat was also the first task they took on. If they failed, it would definitely hurt their self-confidence, but they were laymen and they could accept the first failure!

Chen Chen was originally a sixth-grade official in the Ministry of Industry. He had no contact with making physical objects at all. The most he did was look at the drawings and walk around the craftsman's workshop.

He was the one who took the lead in making the ship this time. This was also his first time making something. He was very nervous and prepared to fail. However, Lin Yue said that failure made him uncomfortable.

As a mature adult, he would not bother to argue with a child about whether it was right or wrong, even if Lin Yue proved her strength.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late. You guys hurry up and find a boat to try to see if it works. If there is really a problem, you can correct it in time." Lin Hongyuan's atmosphere was a little stagnant, so he The deadlock was broken by telling the children to move.

The boat was very light, and it was as free as a fish when entering the water. Especially after using the oars, the speed was extremely fast. Facing the sea breeze, Lin Yue felt like he was about to fly.

This was completely different from being on a raft, and several children screamed with excitement.

"It's so good, ah! Ah! This feeling is so exciting!" The last time Lin Daxuan felt this way was when he was chasing a deer on the exile road. Now that he is free of restraints, it feels even better!
  "Little bastard, what's the ghost's name? It made me think something happened."

Lin Yixu had a dark face and scolded his son who was becoming more and more out of character. It was obvious that in the areas he had ignored, his son had grown out of the modest gentleman he expected.

Lin Hongyuan slapped his son directly on the shoulder.

"Who are you calling a little bastard? Boss, I think you are getting more and more alive. Get out of here. I'm going to get angry just looking at you."

Lin Daxuan, who was scolded, had been secretly paying attention to the situation on the shore, and smiled secretly when he saw that his father had been taught a lesson.

"Brother Xuan, stabilize the boat and try to put the crab basket in and cast the net."

Brother Xuan, who had forgotten everything, then remembered that he was using this boat to catch seafood, and quickly tried to use the oars to balance the swaying boat. However, the wind and waves were too strong, and even if he tried his best, the boat would always follow the wind and waves. swing.

"Brother Xuan, please paddle to the left to avoid the wind and waves over there."

"Brother Xuan, didn't you eat? You paddled harder!"

Lin Daxuan was sweating on his forehead, and the oars were making sparks. The boat would not turn, but was spinning in place, rising and falling with the wind and waves. He had to stabilize his body to prevent himself from being thrown out, and he also had to lift the boat. Turning around, your stamina is exhausted very quickly.

"Brother Xuan."

The people observing on the shore were very anxious, especially Lin Yichen who was still giving instructions and wanted to get started, just when he urged again.

"Boom."

Lin Daxuan accidentally shifted his center of gravity, and the boat and people flipped directly into the sea.

"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, hurry, hurry, save people, save people."

Lin Hongyuan panicked when he saw his precious grandson falling into the sea. The adults behind him who were astonishingly prepared also jumped into the sea, fearing that something would happen to the child.

The house leaked all night long, and there was also a problem with Lin Yue in the distance.
