Chapter 264 Ghost Ship: Lost Home

After finishing his work, Qin Ziwen took out the Tear of the Sea.

This strange object can be embedded in marine or aquatic structures. Without much thought, Qin Ziwen took it to the Ghost Shipyard.

The ghost shipyard became illusory, and a transparent card appeared.

Qin Ziwen inlaid the Tears of the Sea on the back of the card.

[Level 4 Ghost Dock: Level 5 Shipbuilding Efficiency Increase, Level 5 Ship Defense Enhancement, Level 5 Ghost Shipwright] (Special Effects: Omitted) (Equipped with: Level 1 Tear of the Sea)

Tier 1 Tear of the Sea: Ships built in the shipyard have increased resistance to tsunamis and whirlpools.

Tsunami?

Upon seeing this keyword, Qin Ziwen's expression shifted slightly.

Based on the previous two maps, one showing a flash flood and the other a sandstorm, it seems that every time the community is traversed, it encounters a natural disaster.

If it happens this time too,

Based on the characteristics of the island map, will it be a hurricane or a tsunami?

It seems we need to prepare first.

After embedding the Curiosity Objects in the shipyard, he went to the iron mine, took out the Level 5 Curiosity Object, the Earth Spirit Source Stone, from the Level 2 iron ore, and then embedded it in the Wailing Bunker.

Earth Spirit Source Stone: When inlaid at the corresponding resource point, it greatly increases the output of the ore vein, slightly improves the quality of the ore vein, and there is a small chance that the ore vein will produce essence ore.

After being embedded in iron ore, it would occasionally produce a type of ore that Li Tieshan called "iron essence".

It is jet black in color, extremely heavy, and has properties similar to iron, but superior to ordinary iron metal. In addition to being heavier than ordinary iron, it is also harder.

It can be added to weapons to increase their hardness and weight.

Normally, once the rigidity of a weapon is ensured, its weight does not need to be increased.

However, with more and more strongmen joining the team, weapons that are too light would affect the feel of the weapon.

However, now that we have Ghost Gold, it would be more appropriate to place this Earth Spirit Source Stone in the Ghost Gold mine.

As the Earth Spirit Stone was embedded in the back of the card in Wailing Bunker, Qin Ziwen went down to take a look and found that the pit that had been dug out was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked around and found that besides the skeleton miners, there were some empty spaces, so it seemed that he could add some more miners to increase ore production.

However, you have to choose the kind that's brave and not afraid of ghosts.

After wandering around, Qin Ziwen returned to the ground.

When we arrived at the kitchen, my younger brother brought over a bowl of soup.

"Brother, I cooked the shark fin from the bull shark that Red Hare killed today. Try it and see how my cooking is. I specially went to a chef to learn."

"Let me try some." He rarely had the chance to taste shark fin soup. Taking the bowl, Qin Ziwen asked, "And you? Just this one bowl?"

"How could that be? There's still some in the pot. This bull shark is quite big, and we cooked a lot of its back fins."

Qin Ziwen glanced at the shark fin in the bowl. Besides the transparent vermicelli-like stuff, there were also some diced cured meat and small pieces of meat, as well as some chopped shrimp and sea cucumber.

"I added cured pork and raptor meat. The raptor meat is a bit like chicken and can enhance the flavor." Qin Ziwu smiled proudly. "The chef who taught me said that shark fin itself doesn't have much flavor and the texture is the same as vermicelli. The flavor mainly depends on the soup base, so I specially made a pot of broth."

Qin Ziwen took a small sip; the flavor was very rich.

"Will the bull shark meat be shared? Is it like the rumors say, with a strong urine smell?" Qin Ziwen asked curiously. Before his transmigration, he had never eaten shark meat or shark fin.

This is my first time trying it.

Qin Ziwu nodded: "It is a bit strong, and the smell is hard to get rid of. But it's not impossible. It doesn't taste good when boiled, but you can grill it. Add more cumin and chili powder, and it'll be barely palatable."

"Where would we get so much cumin? It's such a big shark, we can't use cumin for the whole thing." Qin Ziwen chuckled. If you used all the seasonings on such a big shark, how much seasoning would you need? Nobody would be that extravagant.

"You guessed right, most of it is still cooked in a pot, but quite a few people still eat it." Qin Ziwu said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh? How did you do that?" Qin Ziwen asked curiously.

"I advertise this product as an aphrodisiac."

"..." Qin Ziwen was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is it really that muscular?" "It really is. That old Chinese medicine doctor at Renhetang said so. Shark meat is full of niacin and squalene. In traditional Chinese medicine, it's said to have the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing yin, replenishing deficiency and strengthening the waist. I wouldn't call this false advertising, would I?" Qin Ziwu chuckled at this point. "Brother, would you like some shark meat?"

"I'm perfectly healthy," Qin Ziwen waved his hand. "You should eat more, though."

"I don't need any, but I saw Old Deng secretly add two more bowls," Qin Ziwu said mysteriously.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, understood each other perfectly, and smiled at one another.

In the afternoon, Qin Ziwen arrived at the training ground.

After such a long period of time, the people in the community have become increasingly aware of the importance of strength.

During free time, many people train here.

He even saw Jia Liangcai exercising in the corner, with someone who looked like a fitness coach giving him instructions.

On the arena, people frequently spar and challenge each other. Because there's no real injury there, it has become a popular spot for many.

the next day.

When Qin Ziwen arrived at the Ghost Shipyard, he discovered that the damaged ships had been mostly repaired.

In the dock, thick hoisting ropes slowly lifted the mast.

The lifeless ship, under the operation of the ghost shipwright, has been restored to about 80-90% of its original appearance.

Where the wood broke, it was joined together with new wooden planks using mortise and tenon joints.

However, when the new planks were connected to the old planks that had been soaking in the seabed for too long, it looked somewhat abrupt, with the old and new woods interspersed like dark brown and pale scars.

The barnacles that remained along the hull of the boat were scraped off, leaving behind circular marks that were difficult to remove.

The sails are raised.

But what was floating on it wasn't cloth, but a grayish-white, semi-transparent fabric, as light and thin as mist.

Above the deck, thick cables, like living snakes, coiled around the mast and crawled about.

Qin Ziwen's eyelids twitched as he read it.

The ship has truly "come alive".

It reminded him of the Flying Dutchman from Pirates of the Caribbean.

That was also a ghost ship.

At this moment, on this ship, pale blue, translucent ghost shipwrights are lying on the ship in various poses, repairing the vessel.

They don't use ropes or ladders; they carry hammers, nails, and planks of varying sizes.

The most striking feature at the bow is a gray-white ram.

In appearance, it resembles the skull of some kind of giant bovine creature, with two sharp horns at the top.

"Hurry up! If you delay the master's schedule, you'll be in big trouble!" Tao Fu's loud and forceful shout came from the deck.

Qin Ziwen still remembers the tense expression on Tao Fu's face when he first heard that these ghostly boatmen were ghosts.

In such a short time, he has already become a qualified foreman.

Tao Fu strolled around the deck and inadvertently spotted Qin Ziwen below. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly climbed down the ladder.

"grown ups."

"How long will it take to repair this ship?" Qin Ziwen was quite satisfied with Tao Fu's efficiency; it was even faster than expected.

Tao Fu hurriedly replied, "Reporting to my lord, we can set sail no later than today! Although the ship is severely damaged, the basic framework is still intact, and only some parts need repair."

Yesterday, after listening to the elders' teachings, I tried watering the shipwreck with black water and found that the shipwreck planks soaked in black water became extremely hard and usable, saving a lot of time.

The boat is about to be launched; please name it, sir.

Qin Ziwen pondered, thinking about how his group of people had followed the community through time, leaving their hometown and drifting in unfamiliar worlds, "Let's call it Lost Home."
