showdown!I enjoy life on the island

Well, the golden eagle's diet is very wide, and the smaller young wild boars are very normal within his hunting range.

Even a nearly adult wild boar, if it is not as big as Bajie, has no chance of surviving being caught by the golden eagle and then thrown down.

It was smashed, so I naturally wanted to order whatever I wanted, and my mother no longer had to worry about my food.

"You can try it." Xu Le smiled and arched the fire.

Bajie: "QAQ"

Xiaosha: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

Bajie: "Master must be just talking casually to tease you! Master help me! This silly bird is really here!"

The clouds broke, the golden eagle swooped down, and Bajie's moaning sound pierced his heart.

Xu Le casually dropped a gag.

With Bajie's temper, in a real fight, he would probably hide next to Meng Yiyi and provoke him aggressively.

Anyway, as long as Xu Le didn't order him to fight, this wild boar would never take the initiative to take on the work if he could be passive and sabotage.

It's safest to hide next to Meng Yiyi or Lin Xihan.

The coastline where the dock is located gradually became clear.

The straight-line distance from the cedar forest to the shelter is about ten kilometers. Although the distance from the sea has skyrocketed to thirty kilometers, it actually takes less time.

With the Aovura raft, the journey was almost effortless.

"Ao Wu leave." When they reached the place, the tiger shark's tail fin swung and its body drooped.

"Hold on."

Xu Le uses skills——

【Theory of Evolution】!

The sleeping genes began to evolve again, and the evolution restarted after 10,000+ years and millions of years.

The evolution direction he chose for Ao Wu is to strengthen the speed of swimming. Strength and defense in the sea are not as useful as speed.

In martial arts in the world, there is no strength that can't be broken, but speed can't be broken, not to mention that the water body has a full three-dimensional guerrilla depth.

For Ao Wu, the strengthening of swimming speed is undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger.

Evolving along this path, he can even drag the nine tiger sharks guarding him to death by swimming.

And the nine tiger sharks couldn't even do him any harm.

Hmm... just to increase the deterrence of subordinates to subordinates' subordinates...

Similarly, the skills acquired by [Return to One] are fed back to Xu Le, which will increase his swimming speed in water.

It's a win-win-

As your subordinates become stronger, you also become stronger.

Two happy things overlapped together, and these two happy things brought me more happiness... I'm sorry I went wrong.

Ao Wu felt the changes in his body, the water surrounding his body seemed to be different.

He swung his tail fin, and the resistance of the sea water to his tail fin seemed to have weakened a little.

This weakening is extremely subtle, and if it weren't for the shark's keen perception of the water body, it might not be noticed at all.

But the sense of change persists.

"Make good use of your new power."

Xu Le waved his hand, signaling Ao Wu to move freely.

"Ao Wu understands that when the master sets sail again, Ao Wu promises that there will be nothing in the sea that dares to block the master's boat!"

Ao Wu shook his voice.

No, I didn't mean that... Fighting sea beasts in the sea is also a part of earning popularity, what if you kill me?

Come back to me!

……

When the fir was dragged to the shore of the dock, Black Star was already waiting.

The task Xu Le assigned him was——

Look for guaiac wood!

At this moment, beside him is a piece of guaiac wood that is longer than Tiger Benwei.

There are traces of being chopped with a knife and ax at the end of the wood section.

Black Star didn't have a new large saw blade to assist him. He relied on his brute force to chop down this piece of hard wood with an ax abruptly.

"Not bad, the piece of wood cut by Black Star is suitable for the tail shaft."

When the first batch of wood was in place, Xu Le started cutting and processing.

He moved the steam sawmill in the yard to the dock and used stones to lay the foundation.

Coal particles are added to the boiler, the flame evaporates water vapor, and the piston rotates rapidly, driving the power connecting rod.

The vertical saw blade then began to push and pull up and down. Xu Le hung up one end of a fir tree with a chain and pushed the wood towards the saw blade.

The sawdust flew away quickly, and the whistling of the steam engine was mixed with the roar of the saw blade cutting the wood, overcoming the swishing sound of the waves hitting the coast.

This is the power of steam tools... Xu Le was feeding the material while muttering.

Although the fir is huge, it can't support Xu Le's steady hand. When sawing from one end to the other, there is no need for a ruler at all, and the section is straight.

In this way, Xu Le sawed out a very thick wooden core from the fir tree.

He explained: "In shipbuilding, the first step is to lay the keel, which marks the official start of the ship's construction.

"In ancient times, it was necessary to sacrifice to the heavens to pray for a good fortune, we can keep it simple here.

"The keel runs through the bow post and stern post, which is equivalent to the human spine and bears the longitudinal stress of the hull.

"Let's use this wooden heart as a base."

It is said to be grounding, but it is actually to place the fir heart used as a keel lengthwise on the ground.

Mu Xin is vertical to the coastline, like the arrow of an open longbow, which will shoot to the sea as soon as the ship takes shape.

Xu Le continued to cut the wood, and processed two side keels parallel to the keel and jointly bearing the longitudinal moment.

The cut waste wood stands up as a bracket, just like a mold during smelting and casting, framing the outline of a hull.

All timber laps are made within this profile.

Xu Le continued to process side keels, ribs, and tendons according to the skills in [Ship Engineering].

The keels, side keels, and keels are parallel to each other, and are interwoven into a net-like structure through overlapping ribs.

He specially opened a furnace to melt and cast a large number of iron bars. After the iron bars were cut off and then sharpened, they became sharp iron nails.

The components are joined together by mortise and tenon, but the stress in the sea is complex, and it is more secure to use iron nails to reinforce it once.

The first batch of wood was quickly consumed, and the base of a wooden boat stood at the dock.

The base has a sharp wedge-shaped section, the keel is like a knife, and the ship's side is like a blade, looking majestic from the front.

"Next, let's cut another batch of wood, make the remaining ribs, and then prepare the side panels."

Chapter 414 Hull Sealing Process

In the next few days, the process of chopping wood, transporting it back by water, and cutting it was repeated.

The hull has begun to take shape, and the ribs on both sides are like the wings of a bird, rising obliquely towards the sky.

Xu Le lit a fire on one side of the dock, and beside the fire was a pile of wood cut into cuboids.

He machined the wood into brackets, the brackets went over the wood, and wedges were driven into the sides to bend the wood.

The moisture content of freshly cut wood is relatively high, and it is easy to bend. Baking under a suitable pressure can evaporate the water and complete the shape.

Beside the fire, there are still several pieces of wood that have been baked.

Restrained by brackets, the thickness of the wooden wedges has been carefully calculated, and the curvature of the wood after bending is almost exactly the same.

Put away a batch of ready-made ones, and set up a new batch, then Xu Le turned around and picked up the processed ones, stacking them at the bow of the ship.

The forepeak tank at the bow directly breaks through the waves and bears the strongest water pressure, and the wood in this part is thicker than anywhere else.

The first column is laid at the bottom, and the curved and thin wood hoops the ribs and side keels, starting from the center keel, and stacking up layer by layer.

For each base, Xu Le smashed it in with finger-thin iron nails to fix it securely.

Sledgehammer eighty, take root.

Small hammer forty, shape modification.

After the sound of clanging metal, there was the sound of knocking on wood, and the nails were placed in place, neatly arranged and extremely orderly.

The thin timbers are all attached to the reinforced longitudinal center keel, and there are crossbeams on the rear side to provide further support.

This is a strong breast beam and stiffeners, which together form a stable triangular structure, and the lead-like sea water is difficult to tear apart the bow.

The wood bottomed out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hull was formed day by day.

This is a large duck-shaped ship, which is longer than the keel, reaching about 12 meters.

The height of the hull is more than four meters, level with the head of the giant spirit, but this is only counted to the position of the railing.

Before the deck was laid, the superstructure had not been built yet, and when this part of the structure was completed, the height of the entire hull could even reach about six meters.

Well, that's not even counting the mast.

Xu Le put together the planed outer armor piece by piece. The bow of the hull is sharp, the belly is round, and the tail is neatly received.

The bow of the ship also swept forward at a steep angle. When breaking through the waves, this angle was enough to press all the splashing water back into the sea.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"It looks majestic..."

"Like an ancient warship, Xu Shen's shipbuilding skills are also outstanding!"

"The structure is very perfect. This kind of duck-shaped boat floats on the water, breaks the waves very efficiently, and sails very fast!"

"Fast? Shouldn't fast be the fastest streamlined fish?"

"Haha, don't you know? Fish are fast in the water, but what Xu Shen built is a boat, not a submarine."

"For a submarine, it must imitate the size of a big fish, such as a shark or even a whale!"

"But the boat is on the water, so of course we have to refer to the shape of the animals floating on the water."

"The duck-shaped hull can not only bear the lateral stress of wind and waves, but also can break through the sea water and sail quickly, which is very practical."

"Learned and learned."

"..."

The hull was finished, and the last shell was firmly nailed to the ship's ribs.

Xu Le also left some wood, which was fixed perpendicular to the hull of the ship, like open feathers.

"Installing a row of bilge keels can effectively improve the stability and reduce the shaking of the hull.

"The bilge keel detracts from the lines of the hull, which strictly speaking affects the handling.

"However, safety is the most important thing for a sea-going ship. The loss of maneuverability is nothing compared to safety."

Of course, Xu Le would not say that he was actually afraid of seasickness...

After the hull was closed, Xu Le was not in a hurry to continue processing other parts.

"Before the complex internal and external structures are on board, it is just right to do the first round of sealing processing." He explained.

"It just so happens that we have a lot of soft vines here, so we can use local materials."

"Xu Shen...what do you mean?"
