Chapter 150: Father and Son(2/2)
He took a dangerous risk, rushed into the enemy's formation, and finally retreated with serious injuries.
These days, the shipwrights, carpenters and others have not been idle either.
Previously, the basics of new ships were completed, and there was still a lot of follow-up work.
Today's new ships have wooden long boards on both sides of the hull to reinforce the structure. The gaps between the ship boards, decks, etc. are filled with shredded hemp rope, and then glued with Zidi's chemical glue.
The shipwright also taught some people a small craft, how to process wood into qualified pulleys.
Sail rigging requires a large number of pulleys.
A high-end pulley is made of metal and is really a wheel.
But the new ship only uses wooden modules, which are cut into the shape of wheels and then smeared with oil to lubricate the surface.
The most conspicuous thing is the bow.
There is a ram installed at the front end of the bow, which is made up of several tree trunks put together, like a knight's spear.
The curved surface of the ship's bow is reinforced with many wooden planks, like a shield.
With the spear and shield, plus the speed of rushing down the mountain, even if the crocodile-headed hammer-tailed anaconda is in front of it, it can be knocked away at once.
The day when the new ship will be launched into the sea is really close at hand.
However, on this night.
Rumble…
The sound of the volcano erupting seemed to be conveyed.
People were awakened one after another, and standing on the hillside, they saw the volcano erupting, forming an unprecedented pillar of magma and fire, shooting straight into the sky!
Then, the ground shook violently, and rocks rolled down, hitting the baffles erected around the new ship.
An unprecedented earthquake!
Under the horrified eyes of the people, the small valley that they had always regarded as their home finally failed to hold up at this moment, and huge cracks appeared on the surface of the mountain.
Cracks spread across the valley, and then the valley collapsed violently!
"Quick, run!"
The crowd was extremely panicked and began to run away. Zong Ge tried to stabilize the situation, but failed.
"Protect the ship!" It seemed to be the shipwright shouting, but no one listened.
When the earthquake occurred, Zhenjin was fighting against the Warcraft Legion.
When he rushed back to the camp, the small valley was no longer what he remembered before, with gravel, broken trees, and human corpses everywhere.
"No!" Zhen Jin's face turned pale and he hurriedly ran deeper into the ruins.
There are still aftershocks, and maybe there will be a bigger earthquake next moment, but people in the ruins have already begun to save themselves.
"Ship! The ship must be dug out!"
"Come here and help me move the rocks."
"It's over, we're done, the ship must be destroyed, we have no hope."
There was a lot of noise, some people were ashen-faced and desperately digging and carrying rocks, while others were wailing and emotionally broken.
The new ship that had always carried their hopes had a very slim chance of surviving.
"I have long said that the small valley is very dangerous. If there is a big landslide, it will be terrible. You just don't listen to me!" someone shouted, constantly complaining and blaming others.
More people were silent.
Some people yelled angrily and got emotional: "Fart! Without the valley, can you stop the Warcraft Legion?!"
Acupuncture does not stop people from venting their emotions. They need to vent, and only after venting can their emotions calm down.
In fact, Acupuncture also needs to vent.
Looking at the ruins, he was angry, shocked, panicked, and disappointed, but as a leader, he could only suppress these negative emotions in his heart.
As soon as he took over the command, the stone suddenly shook, revealing a big hand.
"Help, help me..." Then, the big man's voice came from below.
"Son, son!" The boatman, who couldn't find the big man and was already running around in panic, rushed over and moved the stones frantically, "Hold on, hold on!"
The old shipwright kept shouting.
Zhen Jin, Zong Ge and others took action one after another, gathering everyone's strength and quickly moved away many stones.
The big man was revealed. His legs were pressed by a boulder, and his injuries were serious. They must have been comminuted fractures.
But the big man still used his hands and his chest to resist the boulder.
Seeing the boatman again, the big man was extremely happy and took credit: "Dad, look, I protected the boat!"
The old shipwright's eyes were red and he stared blankly at the big man.
When he saw that the big man was still alive, he was naturally ecstatic.
But when he saw the big man's injury again, he suddenly fell into strong regret and self-blame.
"Daddy is wrong, daddy is wrong!" the old shipwright cried.
During the landslide, he was in a hurry and shouted to protect the ship. Except for the big man who did this, no one else listened to the shipwright, even himself.
"Dad, don't cry, the ship is still there, the ship is still there." The big man quickly comforted the boatman. He knew the significance of this ship to the shipwright.
"It's incredible, the hull is only slightly damaged!" Mu Ban reported loudly after inspecting it.
"Thanks to the big man, if this huge boulder were to hit the ship, the ship would definitely be destroyed!"
"Big man, well done."
"Thanks to you..."
After the situation was clarified, people thanked him one after another.
The big man was a little confused. It was the first time he faced such a scene.
Only the old shipwright rushed to the big man's side, looked at the boulder, and looked at the big man's severely deformed legs: "Does it hurt?"
The big man nodded, then shook his head: "If Dad doesn't cry, it won't hurt the big man."
"Move the boulder away from me quickly!" Zong Ge yelled.
"It can't be moved. It will cause secondary damage to the big man's legs. We must first crush this boulder or corrode it." Zhen Jin shook his head.
He was about to give the order when he suddenly heard the howling of a wolf.
Ouch——!
The howls of wolves kept coming and going.
Everyone heard this clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.
Chapter completed!
