I am farming in the real world

Chapter 53: Rowing Without Oars, Relying Entirely on the Waves!

Looking at the iron golems emerging one after another from the ground, Chen Jue's face showed a hint of gratification.

Just a few days ago, on the night he scouted out the Minghua Shipyard, he ordered a small team of iron golems to branch off a new line from the 'Chen Ping Line' subway tunnel and dig over.

His purpose in doing this was to gradually move the underground base of the old house to beneath this shipyard in the future.

This would prevent him from having to bring a large group of iron golems with [Ordinary Human Skin] every few days, entering and exiting the village and attracting the gossip of the villagers of Chen Village.

Of course, the main reason for choosing this shipyard as a cover was that the land occupied by Minghua Shipyard was the most special in the entire Binhai Industrial Park.

It was a hundred-acre enclave of tidal flats, shaped like a '凸' (protruding) character on satellite remote sensing maps, with the shipyard located on the middle finger of the '凸' character.

It was nearly a thousand meters away from other factories built on the flat park blocks.

Of course, most coastal shipyards are basically located in this way.

After all, the core of a shipyard is to meet the needs of building a 'dock' that can accommodate the entry and exit of ships after watering and draining.

And dock-type buildings are usually divided into three categories: dry docks, flooded docks, and floating docks.

The most common dry dock needs to be built in a location with land on three sides and water on one side, using dock gates and water filling and draining facilities to control the water level in the dock, so as to facilitate the manufacture and maintenance of ships.

The Minghua Shipyard's dock is a dry dock.

The waterline is 3 meters deep, and it can accommodate ships of up to 1,000 tons.

Old Brother Ji also said that when the shipyard was at its peak, it barely managed to operate by taking orders from fishermen in Ruixian and Wenshi to build fishing boats.

In recent years, fishery resources in the East China Sea have begun to dwindle due to overfishing, and the number of fishermen in Wenshi who make a living by fishing has become less and less, which has led to the closure of this Minghua Shipyard.

Chen Jue valued this place for its uniqueness, sitting alone on the beach.

As long as the factory gate is pulled down and the outer wall of the factory area is heightened and sealed off, and two iron golems are sent to guard the entrance at the gatehouse, a perfect independent closed space can be formed.

With this layer of cover, even if you play MC openly in the factory building, no one will bother you.

As for the shipbuilding equipment in the shipyard, which is a bit old, it was basically packaged as scrap iron at a price that was half-sold and half-given away.

…

After receiving the iron golems from the ground, Chen Jue ordered them to start working.

First, the old equipment in the shipyard that was not needed was knocked to pieces with [Stone Pickaxes] and cleaned up, and all of them were sent to the [Furnace] to smelt iron.

The rest was a major cleaning job from the inside out.

As for Chen Jue himself, he didn't sit idle either. He casually put down a [Workbench] and right-clicked to enter the nine-square grid screen for synthesis.

Filling the nine-square grid with [Spruce Wood Planks] × 5 in a U-shape layout, a brand new synthesis formula popped up:

[Boat: Vehicle, can be used for single-person riding.]

Chen Jue took this [Boat] from the synthesis bar and threw it into the dock that had been filled with water.

Then, a square wooden boat with a length and width of about 1 meter and a pixelated style appeared in Chen Jue's sight.

"Iron One, you go sit on it first and see!" Chen Jue ordered.

The Iron One next to him nodded honestly, jumped onto the [Boat], and lightly paddled in the dock with the pixelated wooden paddle on the boat.

Chen Jue squatted on the shore and carefully observed, seeing that this MC [Boat] was as stable as an old dog in the water, just like in the game, and for a while, he was also in a playful mood.

He resynthesized a new [Boat], threw it into the water, put on a life jacket, right-clicked on the [Boat], and first paddled back and forth in the narrow dock a few times.

"It's not tiring at all!"

"What is the principle behind this?"

"Rowing a boat doesn't rely on oars, it all relies on the waves?"

Chen Jue held the mosaic paddle with a look of surprise.

Before, when he was lying dead in Chen Village, he was so bored that he instigated Zheng Bocheng to get a kayak and paddle it in the reservoir.

As a result, after paddling for a long time, the two big men were as tired as dogs before barely making a circle in the calm reservoir.

Now, using the mosaic paddle of this MC [Boat], Chen Jue felt that a strong thrust came with every stroke, as easy as playing the MC game and only manipulating the four keyboard keys [W, A, S, D] that represent forward, backward, left, and right movement.

After waiting for an hour or so at the shipyard, taking advantage of the complete sunset and the sea completely falling into darkness,

Chen Jue greeted Iron One to go with him, and the two masters and servants rowed the two [Boats] synthesized by the MC system from the dock into the sea one after the other.

Just as they rowed out of the gentle dock, the rising tide at night slapped over them.

Chen Jue was startled when he was sitting on the [Boat], thinking that the boat of friendship would capsize.

Unexpectedly, the waves that came head-on actually pushed it up slowly after encountering the MC [Boat], and then steadily fell back to the sea surface.

Apart from some splashes of water splashing on his face, there was no sign of capsizing at all!

This made Chen Jue a little pleasantly surprised!

He knew that the [Boat] made by this MC should perfectly inherit the characteristics of the game that it will never get waterlogged or capsize.

So, he picked up the mosaic paddle and paddled wildly. The speed of the boat started to accelerate slowly from the initial steady progress, and was pushed to the peak speed of '8 meters/second', and started to split the waves on the dark sea surface.

At this moment, no matter how strong the wind is or how big the waves are on the sea, after encountering this square and buggy wooden boat, it will become as docile as a pet cat.

After rowing more than ten kilometers away, Chen Jue stopped.

He leaned back on the wooden boat, listening to the howling sea breeze in his ears, and watching the beams of light from the distant island lighthouse sweeping across the clouds.

And the starlight and bright moon that are almost impossible to see in cities full of air pollution.

Chen Jue couldn't help but take a deep breath of the salty air on the sea, and shouted loudly at the starry sky: "Wuhu ~ It's so cool!"

After lying down for a few minutes, until he heard the whistle of a ship in the distance, Chen Jue climbed up from the lying position.

Taking a closer look, he found a cargo ship with lights on the sea in the distance, slowly approaching this estuary water area.

Chen Jue knew that staying any longer would meet this cargo ship.

Under the gaze of those sharp-eyed sailors and chief mates, it would be difficult to explain this mosaic wooden boat that could run steadily on the sea without an engine.

So, Chen Jue hurriedly turned around and shouted to the Iron One next to him to quickly row the two [Boats] back to the Minghua Shipyard's dock.

However, as soon as he entered the dock, Chen Jue saw that Chen Shang, the lackey, was using the MC [Fishing Rod] he had just synthesized to fish in the dock filled with seawater, testing the probability of catching fish according to his instructions.

Seeing the master rowing back from a distance, Chen Shang immediately lifted the [Fishing Rod] in his hand, picked up a puffer fish hanging on the fishing line that was alive and kicking and covered with thorns, and shouted flatteringly: "Boss! We have a snack for tonight!"

The second update is here ~ I probably won’t be able to get a third update tonight, it’s a bit late, everyone go to bed early.
