It was morning when they went out, before reaching the highest point in the future, there was a power unit modified by Du Nan, and their boat was not too slow, even so, it still took them half a day to reach their destination land.

When Du Nan and his party arrived, most of Brother Hu’s boat had sunk, and the people who stayed behind were holding repair tools, and they didn’t know what to do next. Seeing Du Nan’s arrival, everyone was overjoyed , waved vigorously in Du Nan's direction, not to mention how happy he was.

Du Nan went into the water with the toolbox at that time, and Brother Qing followed closely behind him, and also went into the water behind him.

The water inlet point is very easy to find, even if it was difficult to find at first, it is easy to find now → Brother Hu and the others made a stack of big patches that clearly indicate the water inlet point.

It can be seen that they have worked very hard and have repaired so many times in such a short period of time. However, the leaked ship cannot be repaired by the number of repairs. The thinking and skills of the maintenance personnel are very important, especially for such key parts. .If the technology is not good enough, the incompleteness will be repaired and leaked more and more, and the loopholes caused during the patching process may be larger than the original loopholes—for example, when steel nails are nailed in, when the wooden board is fixed, it is very likely that the nails will be knocked in. Sometimes radioactive cracks are knocked out near the nail holes, and these cracks can cause water ingress.

There is no doubt that Brother Hu's ship is like this now.

They were impatient and diligent, and they repaired a lot, but there were cracks near the nails of almost every board near the gap, and a lot of water poured in from these cracks, and the more they repaired, the more they leaked.

It's no wonder that their skills are poor. Although everyone in the real east knows how to sail a boat, and everyone can even build a boat, shipbuilding and ship repair are not exactly the same way. The whole piece of material is used on the ship, and many parts are intact, and there is no nailing problem at all, but it is completely different when repairing, basically it is all nailing and patching.

At this time, the skill of the repairer will be tested, and the nailing technique is particularly important here. "Fifty nails" is the most basic, and it involves a good big ship that sails across borders—such as the boat of Brother Qing's father. When repairing, the "one hundred nails" nailing method must be used. "Nails" actually refers to the count of how many nails are driven into a board with a fixed size, and there will be no cracks near the nails. The higher the number of nails, the better the skill of the nailer, and the lower the possibility of water leakage of the board repaired by him.

Du Nan doesn't know "one hundred nails" yet, but he has mastered "fifty nails" proficiently. In fact, he can drive 85 nails into the board to ensure that there will be no cracks, but there is no such counting method in the village. However, among his peers, Du Nan's nailing skills are already the best. Among his peers, if anyone's boat needs repairs, he must be the first thing that comes to mind.

But this is another benefit of Du Nan's extra life.

In his previous life, he was a support staff before he had no abilities, but after having abilities——abilities are space, and they were still assigned to support staff.It's too boring to just pretend things. After a long time, he has learned a lot of skills that only logistics personnel can do. Repairs are necessary. In his previous life, he was very good at tinkering. In this life, he can get started much faster than others. Even if he had never repaired a boat in his previous life, the truths in this world are generally understood. After some learning, Du Nan quickly became a small expert in boat repairing in the village.

With a nail in his mouth, Du Nan first removed the boards used by Brother Hu and the others to repair the holes one by one, that is to say, he is strong enough now, otherwise Brother Hu and the others hammered the nails with great strength, and ordinary people might not be able to remove the boards. Even so, it took Du Nan some time to remove these boards. In the end, he found a hole in the bottom of the boat, which was obviously the reason why the boat was flooded.

To Du Nan's surprise, the hole in the board...was a bite mark.

Just glanced at it, and didn't stop. Du Nan picked out the right board, and then began to tap on the bottom of the boat. He only used one board. Du Nan repaired the hole. With a gesture of "It's ok", Brother Qing immediately pulled the rope, the drainage pump started to work, and the water in the cabin was continuously pumped out, and at the same time, the little friends above began to pull the boat up...

Lying in the sea, Du Nan looked at the bottom of the boat. He kept observing until the bottom of the boat returned to the normal water level. Then he held his breath and swam back to the surface of the sea again.

The first thing he got out of the water, he took a sharp breath, and then he heard everyone's laughter and thanks.

"Thank you, Brother Nan! You come here, one is worth seven!" Brother Hu smiled and threw the rope at him, and when Du Nan caught it, he lifted Du Nan out with all his strength.

The water droplets on his body glistened under the sunlight, and almost fell on the deck together with those water droplets. Du Nan wiped off the water droplets on his face first, and then took the cloth towel handed over by the companion next to him. Not to himself, but to Qing Geer who was also pulled up next to him. After Qing Geer finished wiping, he simply wiped the water droplets on his body with the cloth towel, and was not in a hurry to get dressed. Du Nan said to Brother Hu: "I think your boat was damaged by a dragon."

"Isn't it!" Taking the cloth towel from Du Nan's hand and wiping it himself, Brother Hu said angrily, "I was still surprised, thinking that the dragon whistle at the bottom of the boat was broken, but when I went down to repair the boat, I saw But, it’s not broken——Dragon Whistle, a pipe installed at the bottom of the boat, when the boat is launched into the water, the water flowing through the pipe will make a sound similar to the roar of a dragon, or the roar of an angry dragon. , It sounds not easy to mess with. This is the ancestral wisdom of the fishermen in the real east. Using this small device to reduce the attack of dragons on ships is simple but effective, at least it is effective on the sea, because there are many small dragons on the sea.

Incidentally, they will also mark out a place by the sea, and set off the net at the place that acts as a boundary. The net is also equipped with this sounding device to disperse some dragons.

"...I was only focused on repairing the boat at the time, and I didn't see any prisoners... Hey! This is a new boat..." Brother Hu was annoyed, when suddenly there was another vibration at the bottom of the boat, obviously hit by something , Suddenly thinking of the dragon that bit the bottom of his boat, Brother Hu immediately jumped into the sea, and the enemy stuck, and his brothers immediately jumped down like dumplings, outflanking the posture, and they looked for the evil dragon. Long settled the score.

And not long after they went down, the "evil dragon" sneaked out of the sea.

The red scales shone in the sun, as if they were shining golden. The same red mane was soaked in the water and spread out like seaweed. Seeing Du Nan on the boat, the "Dragon" whistled softly.

Very well-behaved.

"Hong Yuruo?!" Du Nan was taken aback.

Thinking about it carefully, the dragon who can do this kind of thing... really can only be Hong Yanruo!

Growing up among red fish schools, it has long been used to the sound of human-made anti-dragon whistle.It even stole the anti-dragon whistle!A dragon carries a human-made dragon-proof whistle with it. For a long time, it used that dragon-proof whistle to protect itself in the sea. When it was discovered, the fishermen were amazed for a long time. !

Such a red girl is naturally not afraid of the dragon whistle, and it is easy to smash Brother Hu's boat through the whistle.

Sure enough——accompanied by the sound of water breaking, Brother Hu yelled from below: "Damn it, our boat has been gnawed out of a hole again!"

The barking stopped abruptly, Brother Hu stopped barking, because he also saw Hong Xiruo.

He also thought of the things that Du Nan could think of, especially besides the dragon they raised, there was only Hong Miruo, an outer dragon, who could figure out who the prisoner was with his toes, Brother Hu immediately rushed towards Hong Miruo aggressively. .

On the contrary, Hong Yanruo, with her expression unchanged, screamed at Du Nan again. Before Brother Hu could pounce, it disappeared into the sea like lightning. When everyone was looking for it, Du Nan and the others heard another muffled sound. , Immediately afterwards, he saw him and Qing Geer's boat shake violently.

Brother Hu, who was still in the water, instinctively went under Du Nan and his boat to take a look, and after a while, he surfaced and reported, "Your boat...was also gnawed with a hole."

Brother Qing thought it was unbelievable: "Could it be that Hong Ruo is crazy? Why did he even attack our boat? We obviously feed it often."

"It's as if we haven't fed it! Ever since Brother Nan named it, seeing how clever it is, we've watched many fish being eaten by it! We didn't catch it! At most, we punched it." Tiger The elder brother said, and then he said blankly: "Could it be impossible to beat him? Also hold grudges?"

Du Nan, on the other hand, has been standing on the deck without saying a word, and now that her ship is broken, she didn't go to check on the ship, watching Hong Yanruo float up again, she kept silent, watching Hong Yanruo float up again , he said to Hong Yanruo: "Don't you want us to leave here? Why?"

Hong Miruo, who is not afraid of the dragon whistle, can easily bite through everyone's boats, but why does it do this?If it was an ordinary dragon, Du Nan probably wouldn't think about it. However, if Hong Yan was an extremely intelligent dragon, Du Nan really couldn't think of a reason for it to do so.

Hearing this, Brother Qing and Brother Hu were both taken aback, but after hearing Du Nan's words, Hong Ruo suddenly rushed out of the sea, and her red body passed between Du Nan's legs. , straightened up, Du Nan was pushed up by it, and became a posture of riding on it.And just after Du Nan grabbed its mane reflexively, Hong Yanruo rushed into the sea quickly.

This scene happened too fast and suddenly, just after the tip of Hong Yanruo's tail entered the water, Brother Qing and others realized that they all mounted their own dragons and chased into the sea - Hong Yanruo's bright red body It looks dark red in the sea, and as the depth of the sea water gets deeper, its color becomes darker and darker until it becomes the same color as the sea water, and then becomes darker afterward.

Fortunately, Du Nan lit the sea lantern that he carried with him.

It is said to be a lamp, but it is actually a kind of stone placed inside. After soaking in the potion for many days, it will glow when it encounters sea water.

When swimming to a certain place, Hong Miruo stopped suddenly, it stopped suddenly, and none of the Qing brothers behind stopped the car, and rushed straight ahead of Hong Miruo and Du Nan, but was still bitten by Hong Miruo Hold the tail and then stop.

With a violent shake of his head, Hong Yanruo pulled Qing Geer back, including the man and the dragon.

But in just this moment of moving forward, Brother Qing already felt the difference ahead.

After lighting up his own sea lantern, Qing Geer looked undecided in shock.

"Ahead... there is a vortex."

He said to Du Nan.
