With his current strength, chopping wood stakes is simply easier than ordinary people chopping firewood. Moreover, the planks he cut out are flat and smooth, just like those made by machines.

In the next few days, he was like a tireless machine, chopping, chopping, nailing, and riveting. After a frantic operation, a large ship more than ten long was finally slowly formed. When the huge hull appeared by the lake, everyone was dumbfounded again.

To be honest, before the boat was launched, no one knew what it was for. They were just surprised by the huge size of the boat.

They never thought of making such a huge thing out of wood, even the wooden houses that ordinary people live in don't need to be so big!

So, what is such a huge wooden vessel for?

Zhao Hao still used the old method. He didn't explain it to others at all at first, but let the hired carpenter watch him seriously.

After the hull was finished, he started to boil the glue to caulk the seams again.

He repeatedly applied the special glue to the gaps between the planks several times, filled a lot of water with clay pots and tried again and again until he was sure that there was no leak anywhere in the hull.

Next, it appears that the hull was pushed into the water.

This is not difficult, although the hull is huge, but he has already laid many circles under the hull, as long as he pushes the huge hull hard, it will slide into the lake.

However, he was not in a hurry to push the hull into the water, because the boat must be able to move after launching, and the hull alone would definitely not be able to move.

This has more power to propel the boat on the water, such as motors with propellers, sails, etc. The problem is that there are no motors with propellers at the moment, and sails are also very troublesome to make. Zhao Hao chose the most primitive way. A paddle, that is, the kind that is rowed by hand.

It is easy to make a paddle. With his ability, he can basically split a paddle with a few knives. Of course, one or two paddles are not enough to move such a big boat, at least one must A dozen oars.

This time, the problem arises again, the oars are easy to make, but who will row them?

He can row a boat, but the problem is that he can't row a dozen or twenty oars at the same time.

He had no choice but to ask Aunt Beishan to recruit twenty strong young men, and each of them cut an oar for them, and then let them line up neatly in two rows and start to learn the movements of rowing.

This book is organized and produced by the public account.Pay attention to VX [Book Friends Base Camp], read books and receive cash red envelopes!

There are actually only two movements for rowing, one is to lift the oar, and the other is to push the oar to the side and back.

The strong young man recruited by Beishan's mother is also quite clever. They quickly learned the two movements, and under the command of Zhao Hao's password, their movements quickly became uniform and looked very standard. .

However, they were basically full of confusion, because they didn't know what the big leader kept yelling "Draw" for.

Zhao Hao still didn't explain. After training the twenty strong boys, he let them board the boat, and then stood behind the boat alone, pushing the huge boat into the lake. .

This time, the lads on the boat were a little panicked. They might know a little about swimming. The problem is that no one dares to swim in such a bottomless lake!

What should the big leader push them into the lake?

Fortunately, the boat did not sink after it entered the lake, and Zhao Hao immediately jumped onto the boat and commanded loudly: "Now, we should divide into two rows, just like we were on the shore just now. Go both sides, stick the oars into the water."

As soon as he boarded the boat, these young men basically didn't panic, because they had a great trust in the big leader. With the big leader, they would definitely not be in danger, and the action of sticking the oars into the water was also very important. Very simple, and soon, twenty lads were ready.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao yelled directly: "Now, listen to my password, mention, row, mention, row...."

Under his command, twenty young men rowed together, while the huge hull left the shore and slowly drifted towards the center of the lake.

At the beginning, the speed of the boat was not fast, but as Zhao Hao shouted the commands faster and faster, the speed of the boat began to gradually increase, and at the end, the speed of the boat was almost like a person running.

At this moment, everyone finally understood that this boat can float people on the water!

However, Zhao Hao was a little dumbfounded, because he forgot to turn the rudder!

Fortunately, this is in the lake, as long as you row hard, you can row to the other side no matter what.

He directed twenty young men to paddle the boat to the opposite bank, then jumped ashore, found a fine horse, and galloped back to the starting point, made a rudder, and rode a white dragon to carry the boat. The rudder returned to the opposite bank, and he jumped onto the boat.

With the rudder, the big boat can go back and forth freely on the lake, and the action of rowing is not very profound. After a few laps, the young man in Garuda Luoying basically mastered the skills of rowing. Simply put, he just followed the password. To row hard, as long as the movements are neat, everyone should try their best to apply their strength to one place, and there is no need to think about other things.

Chapter 168 Landing

The big ship has been built, and it seems that it can cross the big river and go straight to the opposite Nanman Mountains.

However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to set off. After all, the Nanman Mountains are dangerous places in the legend. Even if most of the Xue Man tribe dared not enter rashly, his wealth of the Haotian tribe would definitely not be able to give to Xue Man. It's quite a comparison, so be extra careful.

In addition, the fact that the big ship is built does not mean that they can set off immediately, there are still many things to prepare.

For example, for the bricks used to build the fortress, he would not dare to take people there and then slowly burn the bricks. In that case, if there are close to the existence of divine beasts or even real divine beasts suddenly come to clean them up, it will be troublesome.

This kind of thing is very likely to happen, because wild beasts have a strong sense of territory, and the existence of close divine beasts and real divine beasts also belong to wild beasts. Whether it is humans or any other wild beasts entering their territory, it is impossible for them not to hear Do not ask.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Hao still decided to make all the bricks needed to build the fort first, and directly use the big boat to pull them over.

In addition, the personnel stationed at the fortress must also be prepared in advance.

Since it is approaching winter now, each battalion needs to build sheepfolds, cowsheds, and stables, and prepare forage for the winter. The personnel are relatively tight, and it is impossible for Zhao Hao to let Garuda Luoying put down all his strength. Help him cross the river and build a fortress to garrison. In this way, Garuda Luoying may not be able to survive this winter.

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to issue a call-up order, ordering the other seven battalions to send fifty elites to help out.

At the same time, he had to solve the problem of the docking of the big ship, because this time he was crossing the river, and a lot of materials had to be transported across the river. If the big ship had no place to dock, the materials would not be able to get on board.

Where a big ship can dock, it is naturally a pier.

The construction of the pier will be a troublesome thing in later generations, because the pier must be piled. If there are no ground piles that go deep into the water, it is impossible for the pier to stand safely on the water.

However, at this time, piling is a relatively simple matter for Zhao Hao, because he has great strength!

It is quite strenuous for ordinary people to knock a tree stump firmly into the sand at the bottom of the water, but this kind of thing is not so troublesome for him. Basically, he only needs to hold a tree stump and forcefully hit the sand Once inserted, at least one or two meters can be inserted, and then a few hard knocks with a special big hammer will stabilize the tree stump.

When he built the cofferdam, he didn't have such a suitable tool as a sledgehammer. It didn't take much effort. Now the sledgehammer can be easily made, and the pile driving is naturally quite simple for him. things.

In less than a day, he drove in two rows of ground piles by the lake. With the help of dozens of carpenters in Garuda Luoying, the pier by the lake was built the next day.

Immediately afterwards, he prepared another batch of ground piles, pulled them to the west side of the river with a big boat, found a suitable location, and built another pier.

It took less than five days to complete the construction of these two piers, and the speed was quite astonishing. At this time, the elites of each battalion were still rushing here, and the Garuda Luo Camp did not plan to build All the bricks needed for the fort are ready.

Zhao Hao calculated the time and felt that it would take at least half a month for everything to be ready, and he was not idle during this half month. Since he had time, he would build ships. The more ships, the faster the delivery. The more people and materials that are transported across the river each time, the more troubles will be saved, and the danger will be relatively reduced a lot.

This kind of thing can be done naturally.

Ever since, he started collecting wood and building boats again.

This time, though, he didn't do all the work alone.

In fact, when it comes to the shipbuilding process, it is more troublesome to turn logs into planks, because he has not had time to make a saw at this moment, so he can only use the power of a magic weapon to chop hard.

As for other things, it is relatively simple. Most carpenters can basically do it. Especially these carpenters in Garuda Luoying have witnessed his first shipbuilding process.

The so-called more people are more powerful, and everyone works together, the efficiency of shipbuilding will be high. If he is alone, it will take at least more than ten days to build a ship. Dozens of carpenters help together, and this time is directly shortened to five days. !

This efficiency is quite exaggerated even in later generations, but because of the existence of his humanoid processing center, this efficiency is not too exaggerated.
