Chapter 410 Shipbuilding

"You, you, and you each take a team to cut wood. [Latest chapter reading] Come back quickly."

After listening to Fengyun's proposal, he became very excited, and immediately the warriors of the Yan Snake tribe who followed him went to chop wood for shipbuilding.

"yes."

The people who were hit by the storm responded, and immediately started to take action. In the blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace. Obviously, they also wanted to know the result of the verification.

It didn't take long, less than a quarter of an hour, and the soldiers of the Yan Snake Tribe who went to chop wood came back one after another, and each team carried wood.

Fengyun was not surprised by this.

Although there are relatively few trees in Lei Ze, the lack does not mean that there are no trees. With the footsteps and speed of the totem warrior, it is not surprising that the task can be completed so quickly.

"It's okay, it's just a little more detailed."

Bao took a casual glance at the logs that had been felled, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Uncle Bao, shall we chop some thicker ones?"

Seeing the expressions of dissatisfaction, the faces of the Yan Snake tribe warriors who were in charge of chopping wood immediately became unsightly, and they immediately took remedial measures and went out to chop thicker wood.

Although Bao usually looks relatively gentle, the fighters of the Yan Snake Tribe know that once he has given the mission, if he fails to meet his requirements, he will become very strict.

"No."

Fengyun stopped them, then turned to look at Bao, and said, "Uncle Bao, although these woods are a little thinner, they are still usable. Besides, it's just verification now. If the verification passes, we can go to fell thicker wood,'

"Forget it."

Bao seemed to have listened to Fengyun's persuasion, and waved his hands at the warriors of the Yan Snake Tribe, but he did not let them go completely, and ordered: "Since you got these logs back, you can deal with them. The ship is built."

"yes."

The fighters of the Yan Snake Tribe first cast grateful glances at Fengyun, and then they got busy in front of the logs, peeling, cutting boards, and leveling them... After a set of procedures, they were methodical and extremely skillful.

When I was at the Snake God Mountain,

Driven by the wind and cloud, people in the Yan Snake Tribe became very interested in fishing, and if they wanted to catch more and better fish, they couldn't be confined to the shore, so they started building boats.

At first they were not proficient, and they didn't even know how to do it, but after getting Fengyun's guidance, after a period of practice, they began to do it well.

With the passage of time, most of the members of the Yan Snake Tribe are familiar with the process of building a ship. Even if some people have not built it by themselves, it is clear what to do.

Those warriors who were assigned to log by the violence were all relatively high-level shipbuilders in the Yan Snake tribe. It can be seen that he was going to hand over the task of shipbuilding to them from the very beginning.

In order to speed up the shipbuilding process, other fighters who were not exposed to the storm also offered to help. Therefore, after a short time, the ship has a rough prototype.

The warriors of other tribes chose to watch from the sidelines because they did not receive Bao's order, and they took the shipbuilding process into their eyes, and many people showed admiration in their eyes.

Lei Ze is rich in water sources, with rivers, lakes and ponds everywhere.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water to drink water. Although the resources of Lei Ze are relatively rich, the fish in the water still attract some attention, especially some relatively weak tribes, start fishing. After all, compared with hunting wild animals, fishing The risk is much less.

Fishing In addition to some fishing tools, boats are also essential, so people living in Lei Ze are no strangers to boat building.

It's just that the boats they built are very simple, not canoes, but some simple rafts, which are far behind the boats being built by the warriors of the Yan Snake Tribe.

What Fengyun seized from Cannibal Lake was also a canoe, but it was bigger.

He was used to all kinds of mature boats, so he was naturally not satisfied with building canoes and rafts. The boats he instructed the people of the Yan Snake Tribe to build were much better, not only very practical, but also very beautiful in style.

The styles of these ships are obviously not seen by the warriors of the Lei Ze tribes, which is one of the reasons why they admire them.

Another reason they admire the people of the Flaming Snake Tribe is their superb shipbuilding skills.

In fact, it is not that the people of the Lei Ze tribe have never thought of building a boat that is more practical than canoes and rafts, but they are all stumped by two points, one is how to combine different planks together, and the other is how to make them The gaps between the planks are watertight.

In Lei Ze, although some people tried to solve these two problems, they failed in the end and gave up in the end.

Feng Yun also encountered such problems when he was instructing the Yan Snake Tribe to build ships in Snake God Mountain, but he was lucky enough to know how to solve these two problems.

He once saw a small wooden boat made by chance.

Nails are needed to combine different types of wood. It is enough to fix them firmly to the column through different nails. To prevent water leakage between the planks, a special waterproofing agent is required.

The waterproofing agent mainly consists of three kinds of materials, namely lime, tung oil and hemp. The first two are fully stirred, and then the cut hemp is added to it, and they are beaten continuously, and finally they are completely combined and ready to use.

The last step is to stretch the waterproofing agent into long strips and put it in the gap between the ship boards. Use a chisel and use special techniques to fill it in, smooth it, dry it, brush it with oil, dry it in the shade, and then it can be launched into the water. used.

Whether it is lime, tung oil or hemp, it is not difficult to obtain, so the man-made ships of the Yan Snake Tribe use the same method, and the effect is quite good.

As for how to solve the problem of boat nails, Fengyun used a very clever method, that is, to use substitutes.

Feng Yun had no choice but to do this, and he also wanted to use real iron nails to firmly fix the ship's planks together, but unfortunately he could only think about it.

If you want to make iron nails, you need iron, and if you want to get iron, you must get iron-containing ore, but Fengyun doesn't even see the shadow of iron ore, so it is impossible to smelt iron.

Unable to use iron nails, Fengyun began to look for alternatives, and he quickly found, and there were more than one kind. One was to cut the bones of wild animals into the shape of iron nails, and the other was to replace the material with wood. A good choice of wood is whittled into dowels.

The replacement nails of these two materials have taken a good proportion in the Yanshe tribe, and all of them have a considerable number of supporters.

Brutal beast bone nails are strong, but they are more difficult to obtain, and the sturdiness of wooden nails will be worse, but the advantage is that they are easy to obtain and relatively easy to manufacture, so each has its own advantages.

This time, in order to build a good ship as soon as possible in the Yan Snake Tribal War, the latter was adopted. (To be continued.)
