V1.Chapter 146

"There was an earthquake!" Needle gold rushed back from the wild.

At the time of the earthquake, he was still training the shape of crocodile head and hammer tail.

To Zhen Jin's satisfaction, he rushed back to the small valley and didn't see a chaotic scene.

Although he was not there, cangxu, Zidi and Zongge worked together to quickly stabilize the situation and began to clean up the camp.

The scale of the earthquake is not large, and it comes and goes quickly.

The open space in the valley, keel and mast, etc. that made needle gold worried, were not damaged. The wooden ceiling above the construction site was the greatest contributor this time. It firmly resisted the falling gravel and protected the achievements of everyone's work.

After inspection, a lot of gravel piled up on the wooden ceiling, many places were hit with holes, and more wooden boards were covered with cracks.

With a dignified look on his face, Muban reported to Zhijin, "my Lord, the wooden ceiling needs not only renovation, but also reinforcement."

Mane Ge frowned: "we have been to this island for so long, and we have never encountered an earthquake."

Better than orcs, they feel very powerless in the face of this natural disaster.

Zidi said, "is the earthquake only this time? In my heart, I always have a bad feeling. If the earthquake will happen again, our current residence will be very dangerous."

Everyone lives in the cave. Once encountering a stronger earthquake and causing the mountain to collapse, these people who sleep in the cave will basically be crushed to death or buried alive.

And shipbuilding has also become a big problem.

Originally, they arranged the construction site in a small valley in order to build a dock with the help of the terrain, saving a lot of labor, materials and time.

But now, if the earthquake continues to occur, the small valley has become a dangerous place, far less open or gentle.

This time, only some small stones broke on the mountain. If the earthquake was stronger and the big stones rolled down, I'm afraid the ships would suffer great damage.

Zhen Jin sighed, and then resolutely said, "this is the effect of big man's madness. He is warning us."

Cang Xu on the side was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded with great approval: "it's true. It seems that the big man plays a decisive role. His illness is a great thing for us!"

Needle gold looked at cangxu with appreciation and immediately said, "don't live in the cave tonight. Let's live in the wild with tents first."

"From tomorrow, we will see the trees around the valley and clear a large open space. We will make a slide rail, at least one section of which will extend from the open space of the valley. If an earthquake occurs, we can quickly transfer important hull components out."

After finishing, Zhen Jin glanced around, and then stopped on the slender rope.

Thin rope's face changed slightly, and immediately realized the meaning of needle gold to let him continue to publicize, nodded slightly, saluted needle gold, and quietly retreated.

Zhijin knows very well in his heart that it's not reliable to say that a big man can be warned of madness just this time.

This is an excuse, but it can change people's perception of the big man a lot.

Needlework needs a big man to return to work and such an important labor force.

Others may have criticisms and opinions, but now in this situation, needle gold has ignored it.

The most basic responsibility of leaders is to distinguish priorities.

"To be honest, President Zidi and I feel close. The earthquake has never happened, but now it suddenly happens. It seems that something drastic has happened in a place we don't know. Everything is beginning to become wrong."

"Next, we will try our best to build a seagoing ship with the fastest speed."

Speaking of this, Zhen Jin looked at the boatman with sharp eyes.

"No matter what method you use, you must reduce the construction period."

"If you can cut corners, cut corners!"

"We need a ship that can sail first, and the later projects that can work on the ship will be reserved for sailing."

The boatman quickly bent down to take orders: "I see, sir."

The boatman worked all night and worked out a new shipbuilding sketch.

Unlike the original sketch, the size of the new ship has been reduced by one fifth, and many cabins have been cancelled.

Originally, people had hammocks to sleep in, but now there are only some patterns of straw beds left in the hammock.

A complete mast was originally connected. Now, all mast heights have been reduced by at least half. If you want to raise the mast in the future, it will be spliced during the voyage.

In addition to artillery, there were more than ten catapults on the original drawing. But now there are still three cannons, and the number of catapults has been sharply reduced by half.

The artillery was salvaged from the wreckage of the pig kiss. The original plan was to build a dozen catapults to replace the artillery to a certain extent.

It's impossible to sail in the ocean without fire.

Whether fishmen, sea monsters, or pirates, they are all great threats to long-distance ships.

But now the crossbows are no longer built. As for these crossbows in the drawing, they are all in the camp now.

"There is no need to make so many sails. We can let people contribute their own clothes, and put these clothes together to form a simple sail. In fact, it is also possible for men to be shirtless." In order to minimize the construction period, the boatman also worked hard.

The order of Zhijin was issued soon, and people were also frightened by the earthquake, so they were more enthusiastic about shipbuilding.

During the day, Zhijin even began to guard the open space in the valley and personally supervise the work of everyone.

With the needle and gold, everyone was reassured and no longer afraid of the big man getting mad again.

There is strong pressure in everyone's heart, which has greatly improved the efficiency of new ship manufacturing.

The next week, the big man didn't get sick again.

The earthquake did not happen again.

But food consumption is high.

People really work hard. Many people take the initiative to continue working at night. They feel that they have too much time to sleep and rest!

After all, the construction of a new ship concerns everyone's life.

Zhijin personally supervises the construction site during the day.

The masts are all mounted on the keel.

When the beam is erected and matched with the frame, you can see the prototype of the new ship.

The construction speed of the sail is very fast, largely because of the large reserve of spider webs. As the boatman estimated before, the spider webs of the blade spider are very suitable to become one of the main materials of the sail.

When the third side of the sail was built, the earthquake happened again.

The big man didn't get sick.

People didn't care about this matter. In fact, the inaccuracy of the prediction of madness had long been pointed out in the publicity of the crew of the detailed command.

This island is becoming more and more dangerous. People are most concerned about whether they can escape here.

People prayed that the earthquake would not happen again, but the reality ran counter to everyone's expectations.

In the following time, earthquakes are not only more and more frequent, but also larger and larger each time.

The wooden ceiling had to be reinforced many times, but it couldn't last.

Needle gold had to order the people to move the prototype of the new boat outside the valley.

The jungle outside was completely cut down and burned, forming a new construction site.

The new construction site is completely open-air, and it is too late to make a dock during this time. In fact, because of the earthquake, the dock will collapse and hit the prototype of the new ship.

The difficulty is that in addition to earthquakes, there is also rain.

Dampness is the enemy of shipbuilding.

In particular, the hull needs to be dried and the moisture in the wood needs to be removed.

Zidi's medicine played a great role. In addition, people dismantled the tent and assembled it into one. In rainy weather, they built a huge tent and worked in it.

When it's sunny, open the tent, let the prototype of the new boat shine in the sun, and do everything possible to drive away the water inside.

When the earthquake happened for the eighth time, people were shocked to find a lava fire column rushing into the sky between the earth and the mountains.

According to cangxu's estimation, Zhijin and others are located on the edge of the island, while the volcanic landform is located in the center of the island, or even in the center.

From the location of Zhijin, the spectacular scene of volcanic eruption can be observed, so the real scene of the volcanic zone must be more terrifying.

"The end is coming!"

"Can we really get out of here?"

"I'm not surprised if this island sinks tomorrow."

jittery.

Aware of this, Zhijin held a bonfire dinner soon after.

He made a public speech to boost everyone's morale with his words of Empire, glory and achievements as a knight of God's family.

The speech has obvious effect.

Seeing Zhen Jin, everyone realized again that there was such a reliable leader around him. Zhen Jin is not only strong, but also noble. He promises not to give up anyone, and everyone believes his words.

The aroma of barbecue is pungent, and more than a dozen bottles of rum have been supplied. Everyone gets few drinks, but the wonderful taste makes people intoxicated.

During this period of time, the tense nerves are relieved at this moment, the frown is gradually relaxed, and there are more and more laughter.

Zhen Jin came to the campfire in the corner with a huge roast.

This is the position of the big man and the boatman.

Needle gold handed the roast to the big man.

The big man didn't dare to pick it up. After being scolded by the boatman, he timidly picked it up.

"You've done well these days. Without you, the ship won't be built so fast. Keep working hard." In full view of the public, Zhen Jin encouraged the big man.

The big man curled up and sat in his position. Seeing that Zhen Jin smiled at him, he quickly bowed his head in embarrassment and stared at the barbecue in his hand, not knowing what to say.

The needle gold didn't stay much. After a moment, he turned and left.

When the boatman sent him off respectfully, he sincerely sighed, "Your Excellency, you are really different from others! I have never seen such a noble person as you."

The old father gave his thanks with great sincerity, his words choked, and his eyes flushed faintly.

Zhen Jin patted him on the shoulder, looked around and saw that everyone's attention was attracted by him.

His tone was slightly raised: "everyone on this ship has a position, and no one will be left behind."

"In other words, we are all in the same boat."

"I know there are differences between us."

"Various differences in identity, descent, appearance and personality."

"But these differences should not be the reason for our suspicion, opposition and internal friction. We should closely unite. Only in this way can we maximize the possibility of escape."

"We are all... Our own people!"

Needle gold's last sentence, with a special emphasis.

Not surprisingly, his impromptu speech once again won the cheers of everyone.

Many people found that they fell in love with Zhen Jin's speech and were willing to listen to her say more.

Zhen Jin's words soothed their confused hearts, calmed them down, and made them full of hope and motivation again.

Zidi stared at the young leader.

Cang must smile approvingly.

Bai Ya's feverish eyes seemed to be on fire, while cyanobacteria was silent and introverted.

Black volume quietly clenched his fist.

Sandao, who has been calm, is also a little distracted.

"Own people?" Mane Ge looked at the bonfire in front of him. These three words made him see the scene of the past again.

He fell on the cold floor tile, and his head was trampled by a foot.

"Own people?" The boy who stepped on the mane GE's voice was sharp, "ha! How dare you say that you and we are our own?"

The young mane Ge struggled, but could not resist the strength of the young man in front of him. He reluctantly opened his mouth, "we all have the same blood flowing through us. We have a common father. We are brothers and sisters. Aren't we ourselves?"

As soon as he said this, he felt the strength of the foot on his head strengthen sharply.

The gorgeous boots even rolled hard at the temples of Zongge.

"Shut up! You bastard!" The boy who stepped on him shouted angrily.

The rest of the teenagers who watched also spoke.

"Who are your brothers and sisters?"

"You are in the dirty soil. How can he de stand beside us? You do have noble blood, but this is exactly your tragedy. Because it shows the essence of your inferiority and incompetence."

"You are a disgrace to our family!"

"It's a stain on our family's reputation!"

"Illegitimate son!"

"A mere Orc wants to tie with us!!"

"Wishful thinking!!"
