Chapter 1271

It is said that people will inspire incredible potential under difficult circumstances. This is the case for longtianci. They are trapped on a desert island and are extremely short of food and water. To put it mildly, if they sit here and wait for death, they can't last five days.

In this desperate situation, long Tianci found a large ship that ran aground, which was absolutely a desperate survival for the trapped people. Driven by the idea of living, they became busy. They had to repair the ship as soon as possible. In fact, the work content was not much, What long Tianci wanted them to do was to remove some planks in the cabin that would not affect the hull structure, and then repair the huge hole at the bow with planks. Of course, the so-called repair is not to seal the hole with wooden strips indiscriminately, which is meaningless. In order to restore the ship's navigation ability, all the wooden strips at the damaged position must be removed, After that, new wood strips are used for butt joint repair, so as to ensure the tightness of the hull.

Including PI San, almost all the more than a dozen people trapped are old sailors. Although they are not professional shipbuilders, it is not difficult to repair such a hole, but the most troublesome thing after the hull is repaired comes. That sentence is the production of waterproof layer!

Most of the ships on the broken boundary are made of wood, and their workmanship is also very exquisite. First, there must be a keel that determines the overall length, shape and bearing capacity of the hull. Of course, although it is called keel, it is not a real keel, but a wooden beam as the ship foundation. The whole ship body can be spliced and reinforced with wooden strips, but the keel must be formed as a whole.

Once the keel is selected, the shipbuilder will plan the length and outline of the hull according to the shape and length of the keel, and draw the design drawing. Then the small worker in charge of shipbuilding will start building the ship.

In fact, the work of assembling a ship is not very complicated. As long as the wood strips are spliced together according to the width radian and characteristics of the wood strips, the main body of the ship can be completed. However, splicing the ship is only the primary stage of ship production. The really troublesome process has just begun. A ship can't just own the hull. After all, this thing needs to be launched, Sealing is the most important link.

The average boatman likes to fill the gap between the boards with fish glue, then seal it with melted rubber outside, and finally brush the board again with viscous agent mixed with shellfish powder and asphalt inside, so as to achieve perfect sealing and prevent the ship from leaking into the sea.

However, this process is impossible for longtianci. They can repair the hull, but what is used to seal the gap between the wooden strips? In this state, the ship will sink before it sails far!

If you want to leave the underworld sea area alive, the quality of the ship plays a key role, so you should make the ship persist until it returns to the land outside!

With painstaking efforts, people found some barely usable things in the cabin of the ship, some fur of seals, some semi solidified grease, half a barrel of dry asphalt and several pairs of rubber boots.

Although these things are not enough, at least they can simply waterproof the bottom of the ship. Long Tianci melted the dry asphalt and those pairs of rubber boots with fire. At the same time, PI San and others stuffed the semi solidified grease into the gap between the wooden strips and threw the seal skins on it, Then long Tianci poured the melted mixture of asphalt and rubber directly on it to completely cover the repaired area!

The next thing to wait for is that the mixture of asphalt and rubber has cooled and dried up, and then the most important waterproof test. Once there is no problem, the ship can go to sea!

After about half a day, the rubber asphalt mixture finally completely cooled down. Long Tianci brought a large amount of sea water with PI San and others to pour it on the repair position, and then asked people to pay attention to whether there was water leakage outside. After more than an hour of testing, the results were very satisfactory to everyone. There was no water leakage at the repair position at the bottom of the ship, that is to say, the ship can go into the sea.

Finally, there was a ship that could be used. Everyone was very excited, but the excitement didn't last long. PI San asked longtianci bitterly, "Lord long, we have repaired the ship, but how can we get the ship into the sea? The ship is too big!"

"How do you get into the sea? Of course you push it with your hands!" long Tianci smiled a bad smile when he heard PI San's words, and then answered!

"I said to the dragon master, don't play tricks on me, OK? Push with your hands? If we have three times more people, we may not be able to push this big guy down!" Pi San almost didn't cry when he heard the words given by the Dragon God.

"Who says we can't move? You tell them to prepare, and we'll push the ship down in a moment!" long Tianci smiled mysteriously, then turned and walked towards the coconut trees on the other side of the island. PI San was puzzled. He wondered what long Tianci wanted to do in the end?

When he came to those coconut trees, long Tianci walked around them for a few times. There were 13 coconut trees here, including large and small, strong ones that were about the same thickness as people's waist and thin ones that were about the same thickness as people's thighs. Long Tianci picked the five strongest ones, and then stood up and slashed them horizontally like a knife, and the five coconut trees fell to the ground.

When long Tianci came back with those coconut trees, PI San had told everyone what long Tianci meant. Everyone thought long Tianci was crazy. How could they push such a big ship into the sea?

However, when they saw long Tianci dragging the rootless huge coconut tree back, everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. No one is a fool, and this method is old-fashioned, but everyone was very nervous and didn't remember for a moment.

In fact, this method can't be simpler. The hull is really heavy on the beach and can't be pushed, but as long as the round coconut tree is stuffed under the boat and the rolling of logs is used to reduce the friction between the bottom of the boat and the beach, a lot of effort can be saved.

It's much more convenient to do things with methods. With the efforts of everyone, the ship was finally successfully pushed into the sea. Looking at the big ship floating in the sea, everyone showed an excited expression on his face!

Long Tianci and others had nothing to clean up. They just took all the coconuts on board and then prepared to set sail. However, there were two different voices for the destination long Tianci and others!

Long Tianci, PI San and the other two sailors felt that since they had entered the dark sea, they should go to the heart of the dark sea, otherwise they would come in vain. The remaining people felt that it was too dangerous and wanted to leave the dark sea area immediately.

Because the majority of people advocate leaving here, long Tianci and others have no choice but to give up their curiosity and turn the bow to prepare for the original way back. However, when they turn back, they are helpless. After the test of the surveyor, although these trails between the dead sea and the dark sea seem to be independent, in fact, the islands under the level of Shanghai are connected, and the water consumption is very shallow, With the size of their ship, it is absolutely impossible to pass, that is to say, it is absolutely a dream to go back from the dead sea.

If you can't go back to the dead sea, you can only consider the other three sides. However, if you want to go to the other three currents, you must pass through the dark sea. That's good. Those who don't agree to enter the dark sea now have to agree. As for long Tianci and others who originally wanted to go in and have a look, this is the best outcome. Since they want to come, why don't they go and have a look?
