Infinite Bloodcore

Inside the cave, sketches of sea ships are placed on a long wooden table.

Zhen Jin, Zi Di, Cang Xu, Zong Ge and others sat around, and everyone's eyes were focused on the sketch.

The sketch depicts the side view, top view, perspective view, etc. of the ship.

The author of the sketch, the shipwright Lao Si, introduced: "According to statistics, there are 247 survivors in total. The Pig Kiss has been dismantled by us, including the wood we transported, and we have estimated that our iron ore can As much iron as I could produce, I conceived this ship.”

"The new ship is expected to be 42 meters long and 300 tons wide."

"As you can see, the new ship will have two decks, with five artillery pieces installed on the top deck."

"There are three masts in total, and each mast has a mast."

"It's a slash."

"There are sails on the mast and bowsprit, mainly square sails. According to our charts and routes, the wind direction is stable, and the square sail is the most practical. But there is a triangle sail on the mizzen mast. To be more precise, it is a big triangle sail. .”

"It is expected that our main sail area will exceed 200 square meters."

"This is the forecastle, which is mainly occupied by big men. This is the stern, where is your room, Master Zhenjin. There is a balcony behind the stern, with a wide view, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the sea."

At the end of the sentence, the fourth shipwright showed a flattering smile to Zhen Jin.

The new ship is twice as small as the Pig Kiss. The Pig Kiss is 7 sea ships long and can transport large amounts of goods and people over long distances.

According to the voyage, this island is located near the midpoint of the straight lines between Shengming Continent and Wilderness Continent.

The purpose of Zhenjin and others is not to build a ship with excellent performance, but to leave the island as soon as possible, complete the second half of the voyage, and rush to the wilderness continent.

"How many gaps are there in terms of supplies?" Zhen Jin broke the silence and asked.

The shipwright replied: "Mainly ship nails. We need a lot of iron, and the gap is largest in this area."

"Don't we have enough ore?" Zhi Jin wondered. He was afraid of this at the time, so he transformed into a monkey-tailed brown bear many nights and kept digging. Most of the ores in their hands now were mined by Zhen Jin alone.

Zidi replied: "We have to thank those monkey-tailed brown bears. The ore is sufficient. But to extract the iron in the ore, we currently use the method of chemical ablation. The pharmaceuticals in this area are far from enough."

"So that's it." Zhen Jin nodded and glanced at everyone, "What can you do about this problem?"

Zidi looked confused: "I am currently actively looking for alternative materials around me, but I am not sure whether I will find them. After all, this is a rainforest, not a forest. Maybe we can organize an exploration team to go to the forest landscape to collect these raw materials. .”

Cang Xu shook his head: "It is too difficult and the risk is too great. Master Zhenjin needs to guard the valley, and our combat power is not enough to support an exploration team. Using medicine to process ore is not a conventional method. My suggestion is to make Earth kiln. Not the small earth kiln I made in the oasis, but a large earth kiln. We can use charcoal fire to heat it, melt the ore, and get a lot of pig iron."

"Can a large earth kiln be built here?" Zhen Jin asked.

He remembered that when he was in the oasis, Cang Xu's attempt to build an earthen kiln failed.

But Cang Xu nodded: "That's okay. The soil here is different from that in the oasis. In fact, someone has already made it. He is a craftsman and has much more experience in making earthen kilns than I do."

There is a high proportion of craftsmen among the survivors. These people all go to work in the wilderness continent.

If the human race wants to gain a foothold on the wilderness continent and win this war of aggression, it must build a large number of castles, camps and other fortifications.

These fortifications represent a large number of job opportunities, far exceeding the standard salary of Shengming Continent.

Zhen Jin nodded: "According to Cang Xu's suggestion, we will build an earthen kiln."

After making the decision, Zhenjin looked at the shipwright again.

"There are other gaps," the shipwright said.

Of the remaining gaps, one is the sail. The making of sails requires a large amount of cloth. Originally, the shipbuilder had pinned his hope on the sails on the Pig's Kiss. But after disassembly, only a few fragments of the sail were obtained. Because before that, the temperature dropped, and the survivors in the first camp disassembled and tore off the sails and used them as warm clothes.

The other is adhesive. The ship plates use flat joint technology and there are gaps. Under normal circumstances, it is filled with asphalt, hemp rope, glue, etc. There is also a big gap in adhesives.

The third is the crew sailor. Zhen Jin and others need to train some temporary sailors.

Finally, there are supplies.

Food and water reserves were large, but not sufficient.

Building a ship requires a lot of physical energy, which leads to increased food consumption.

After the ship is built, sufficient supplies need to be stored. During the voyage, supplies were difficult to obtain.

Some people may say that you can fish and fish on the sea.

This is very unprofessional.

Fishing operations are usually carried out in fishing grounds, and fishing in other sea areas is inefficient.

The work on the ship is very heavy. If everyone goes fishing, the efficiency will be very low, the sailing speed will be slowed down, and as time goes by, more food will be consumed, which is totally not worth the gain.

From this perspective, there is actually not much difference between the sea and the desert.

"How long will it take to build this new ship?" Zhen Jin asked the question that concerned him the most.

The shipwright replied: "Normally speaking, the construction of a ship usually takes about two years. It is difficult to estimate the construction period of our new ship, but it should take at least half a year."

"It's too long. Can it be shortened?" Kurojuan was not satisfied with the time either.

The shipwright sighed: "This is already the fastest speed. Mainly because Lord Zidi's medicine can speed up the drying of wood. Generally speaking, shipbuilding wood needs to be dried and the moisture must be completely eliminated, and it will usually be dried in the shade for more than a year. "

“Luckily, we have a lot of craftsmen.”

"Instead of the two hundred people in this valley, our previous personnel alone may not be able to build a sailing ship even if it takes four or five years."

Zhenjin was very disappointed with this answer. After more than half a year, the position of the Lord of Baisha City has probably been decided.

It is impossible for imperial officials to wait alone for gold. The two Templars who competed with him for the position of city lord would never wait for the needle gold.

But there is no way.

Unless rescue arrives during this period, Zhenjin can only accept this time if he relies on building a new ship to escape.

The shipbuilding site was set in a small valley.

With a little modification, the open space in the small valley would be a good place to build a boat.

Crafting a dock is too laborious.

Of course, the selection of materials for shipyards does not need to be as high as for shipbuilding. There will never be a shortage of wood in the rainforest.

Kurojuan, Sandao and others formed a logging team and patrol team.

Timber is continuously imported into the small valley.

The places they felled were mainly concentrated in small valleys and along the beach. Clearing the trees here will also facilitate the construction of tracks in the future and help new ships launch smoothly into the sea.

The amount of work required to make the track is much smaller than building a dock directly on the beach.

After several days, the open space in the small valley was finally isolated from the raindrops. It was a heavy rain, and the ground remained dry.

Boat construction requires a dry environment.

The shipwright and others began to work on the largest tree trunk, which was the best material for making the keel. According to the words of the shipwright and Muban, it is difficult to find such good materials even in the major ports of Shengming Continent!

Under Cang Xu's overall planning, the survivors in the valley were busy, and everyone had their own responsible affairs.

Blue algae and white buds are responsible for building and transforming the valley, forming fortifications, and laying traps and warning devices on the periphery.

Fat Tongue assists Cang Xu, and Zi Di is responsible for the research and development of pharmaceuticals.

Zhen Jin, Zong Ge and others mainly cleared away the surrounding beast herds and replenished food reserves.

Que Fan led the women and wounded men to make hemp rope and cloth.

After the keel was made, the shipwright and others began to make the mast non-stop. Due to the lack of suitable wood, at least six masts had to be made, and they were spliced ​​two by two to form the foremast, topmast, and mizzenmast.

At the same time, Fat Tongue led some people to apply the medicine on the dragon bone. With the help of medicine, the keel will dry out more quickly.

The dosage of Keel alone almost emptied Zidi's inventory.

Zidi can only split the manufacturing steps of the medicine and send them to others to make them separately to increase production.

This requires new manpower.

Fortunately, Cang Xu has rich experience and quickly mobilized enough personnel from other aspects to avoid slowing down the progress of other projects to the minimum extent.

With ultrasonic reconnaissance, Zhenjin did not miss any of the herds near the valley.

With every move he made, he gained a lot.

Zong Ge no longer competes with Zhen Jin, and his record in this area is second only to Zhen Jin.

When the shipwrights, woodworkers and others started to make ship planks, everything within a radius of 50,000 meters with the valley as the center was cleared.

But the work of clearing the herd will continue.

Because the herd is mobile, vacant territory and abundant food sources are great temptations for the herd.

The clearing of herds is no longer as frequent as before, and the danger has also been drastically reduced.

Those who are attracted are usually beasts or monsters with weak competitiveness. Powerful monsters or herds are the overlords of their own territories and do not need to migrate.

Zhen Jin gradually handed over this job to Zong Ge, Heijuan and others.

The extra time he had saved was used to practice the various forms in the core in private, and he made a lot of progress.

Rainstorms are becoming less frequent, and there are more sunny days than rainy days throughout the week.

In the evening, it cleared up.

The light of the setting sun reflected on Zhenjin and a group of scaly-horned black panthers.

When Zhen Jin was training privately on the edge of the cordon, these scaly-horned black panthers broke into the range of his ultrasonic exploration.

Zhenjin happily accepted the magic energy reserves delivered to his door.

After a fight, the battlefield calmed down.

"It's so easy... As long as I come into contact with the scaly-horned black panthers, they will be electrocuted to death by me." Zhen Jin showed a satisfied smile.

Long-term persistence and hard work have paid off.

He is now able to discharge freely!

"I am different from the Silver Flying Squirrel. The latter will immediately wilt when it discharges. But when I discharge, it will increase the consumption of magic energy and it will not have much impact on me."

"Who is that person?" Using ultrasonic waves again, Zhen Jin suddenly noticed someone in the distance.

Zhen Jin's complexion suddenly changed.

When he was just fighting, he stopped the ultrasonic waves, and his main attention was on discharging electricity, so he didn't notice it in time.

What did this person observe?

When did you come here? What else was discovered?

The scorpion shell on Zhen Jin's body can easily be connected with what Zong Ge saw back then.

Who is this person?

Zhen Jin ran wildly and chased after this person.

The mysterious man noticed it, turned around and ran away towards the valley!
