Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 260 Island First Week Settlement
However, moving such a large ship back is no easy task.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ziwen came up with a solution.

Looking at the seabed before him, he activated the node.

"Om-"

The next second, an oval-shaped node portal appeared before them.

Without his permission, the seawater was blocked on the other side of the portal.

Qin Ziwen returned home through the node.

The others followed them back.

With wet feet on their home, someone gazed at the other side of the gate, where the deep blue sea was firmly blocked by the transparent portal.

Someone asked curiously, "This door is a bit small, can it be used to pull that boat over?"

They guessed the chairman's intention: he probably wanted to bring that ship over.

“President, judging from the marks on that ship, it’s estimated to have been submerged here for at least several decades, or even hundreds of years. The wood here is probably already rotten.” Zhang Liang said hesitantly. As a prop designer, he naturally knew that the “durability” of a ship that had been submerged in water for who knows how long had already reached a critical level.

Qin Ziwen said, "It's alright, we can repair it once it's back. The main thing is to find a way to bring it back first. It's such a big ship. Do you have any good ideas on how to bring it back without damaging it, or at least with minimal damage?"

Zhang Liang pondered, "President, it's basically impossible to completely avoid damage. At least with our current level of technology, it's difficult to achieve. The best way is to break it down into several large pieces and then transport it back through the portal."

At this point, Zhang Liang gestured, "President, this node is a bit small, can you enlarge it?"

"Okay." Qin Ziwen nodded, and with a thought, the node gate instantly increased in height tenfold.

This is also the current limit.

However, it's definitely enough to transport this ship.

Then everyone began to prepare tools. There were some people in the Qin Alliance who had been math teachers, physics teachers and engineers, plus several craftsmen from Li Yue's Divine Machine Workshop, and everyone got together.

They also consumed the fruit and traveled through a portal to the other side of the sea to conduct an on-site investigation.

After intense discussion, a relatively reasonable bundling plan was finally agreed upon.

Standing to the side, Li Yue carefully considered his words and said cautiously, "Chairman, we are not professionals after all, and we have no experience in shipwreck salvage. This is a method we came up with based on deduction and discussion, and it is not impossible that some unexpected things may happen after actual application."

He was chosen by the crowd because they were worried that he might cause an accident while towing the sunken ship and that the chairman would blame him.

Qin Ziwen said casually, "It's alright, just do your best."

Based on the Ghost Dock's capabilities, damaged ships can be repaired. Although the extent of the damage is not specified, it's likely not something like ships broken into pieces.

Therefore, it is necessary to preserve the integrity of the ship's hull as much as possible.

Of course, he could understand if an accident did happen in the end, making the shipwreck irreparable.

After all, such a large shipwreck must have been submerged for who knows how many years.

Everyone did their best, so he shouldn't be too harsh.

"Understood, Chairman." Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.

With that in mind, everyone dared to give it their all and try it out.

Once the plan was set, the entire Qin Alliance began to operate like a precise machine.

Qin Ziwen was somewhat emotional. Originally, he had started exploring the seabed partly to find suitable resource points and partly to find an altar.

Although they finally found the altar, there were no cards on it. Fortunately, they didn't come away empty-handed; they found a huge shipwreck on the seabed. They didn't know if it was left behind by the native civilization of this world, or by something similar to their neighborhood that had been left behind long ago.

Regardless, if this 40-meter-class ship can be brought back to Ghost Shipyard, repaired, and then modified with Ghost Gold, it will become a qualified means of maritime transportation on this map.

He could still tell which was more important and which was less important.

After returning home, except for a few people who stayed behind, the rest were free to move around. They could continue swimming or choose to keep the remaining Deep Sea Oxygen Fruits.

Most people chose to keep it; the fruit was precious, it could breathe underwater, and in their eyes it was as rare as a card.

Meanwhile, the group first cut the steel cable in the elevator shaft, and then ran to the next floor to cut the steel cable in the elevator shaft.

This is an excellent rope material that can save a significant amount of casting time.

Subsequently, the Ordnance Inspection Bureau went all out to cut and weave these steel wire cables.

They were preparing to forge four thick, giant, flat, ribbon-like cables.

They also needed to create a complex system of multiple pulleys connected in series and build a huge winch.

The work is progressing in an orderly manner.

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

The armory was brightly lit, and everyone was working enthusiastically.

To speed up the process, Qin Ziwen temporarily replaced the guild's shared building with the Armory.

【4级炎武军器监：4+1级军工狂热、3+1级军械标准化、5+1级专属研发、3+1级效率提升】（特殊效果：略）（镶嵌：二级奇物锋刃之石）
Qin Ziwen truly witnessed the Ordnance Bureau operating at full capacity. With sufficient manpower and the added benefits of enhanced building features, the work progress was almost frantically visible to the naked eye.

"It should be ready by tomorrow, that's incredibly fast," Qin Ziwen remarked before quietly leaving.

Because tonight, the first week's settlement for the island map will begin.

The last few days of the previous map, plus the few days since the island map was crossed over, make up another week.

"You have successfully survived a week on the Gobi and Island maps. You are currently on day 5 on the Island map. Your Mongolian horse has advanced to the Extraordinary level this week, you have obtained a large number of cards, you have successfully completed the decapitation operation, the Armory Works have manufactured a large number of military equipment, and you have completed one level 1 Hunting Ladder mission. Overall score: 2074"

「获得奖励：【进阶强化卡】一星强化卡*1、【复制卡】进阶建筑复制卡*1、【拓展卡】雪地拓展卡（大）*1、【功能卡】1级回溯*1、【强化卡】人类体质强化卡（一星）*1」

Qin Ziwen glanced at the rewards at a glance.

Compared to the previous two weeks, this time the rewards are simpler.

However, those who didn't complete the more challenging hunts this time are basically in a transitional phase, which is understandable.

First, there are the advanced enhancement cards; he already has two.

I was originally considering whether to use it for myself or for the harpy eagle.

No need to worry about it anymore.

Let's give them to the harpy eagle and Red Hare first.

Both of them can be used as mounts.

The harpy eagle's ability to fly and carry people will be further enhanced, while Red Hare will be able to run in the sea, making it even faster. At that time, even a mosasaur might not be able to catch up with it.

If it runs fast enough, even the Mosasaurus can only eat Red Hare's exhaust fumes from behind.
