0063 Long Ship Ruins

There was only one time when the 20 sailors belonging to the expedition team died, four serious injuries and four minor injuries. This was still in full preparation and basically no damage to the tide...

Just one negligence.

Hebasi's wild boars are arrogant and huge, each with at least four or five hundred kilograms, with sharp fangs and red eyes.

From an aggressive point of view, they should be carnivorous.

And it should be the top of the food chain of this small island, and it is arrogant and arrogant.

Considering the growth and reproduction speed of pigs, there is such a clan overlord in the wind-facing forest, and the size of its clan becomes difficult to estimate.

There will definitely not be too many, nor will there be too few...

This means that Shu Linyuan does not look safe.

They simply discovered two suspected freshwater sources. As long as they are lucky, there is no need to die with wild boars in the forest.

The order of exploration is determined from this.

Carrying the harvested wild boars and the dead companions' corpses, the scarred team sneaked through the sparse forest and came to the large pond beside the beach. It was soon confirmed that this was indeed one of the main freshwater sources on the island.

There were obvious signs of wild beasts wandering by the pond, and most of the footprints were hoofs, without bear paws, cat claws and other killing stars, and there were no terrifying island crocodiles. One good news after another made Lorraine finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then there is the second question... how to collect fresh water and the rich food resources towards the wind slope.

Shipping along the island is the best way, but the Butterfly Flower cannot be put into the water, and two charge boats can not bear the heavy responsibility of transportation.

Lorraine looked at a wild deer leaning against the forest.

"Hena, do you think if we camped on the windward beach, will the boars come to expel us?"

"What should I do if the Butterfly Flower Number camping here?"

"You can camp in a scattered manner, and the logging team stays in the narrow east beach, and the logistics team and the adventure team are moved here. In this way, the collected water can be processed and stored on site, and only a small amount of transport is required to meet the needs of the logging team."

Henna raised her eyebrows: "There are two fresh water here. We set more traps by the pool and hunt actively. Smart beasts will avoid this and go to the woods to drink water."

"You can also fire your guns..." Lorraine bit her lip and added, "The six-pound short gun at the stern of the boat is very light and can be transported over by a charge boat. It can be used as a defense for beach camps, and it can also scare away wild animals and open up space."

"When the Butterfly Flower Number is repaired, it will be no problem to ship food water."

After a few words of discussion, Lorraine ordered the sailors who could act to divide them into two, a group of people digging trenches on the beach, artificially building islands, and setting up a site where hundreds of people can camp.

Another group of people logged wood and built a piece of wood to return to the Dongsha Beach to report the news.

The result was that the first thing that was completed was a simple raft. The three sailors used their own coats to make sails, tied up a rough sail raft, and drifted along the coastline to the east coast.

At sunset, Yacharin led two assault boats, twenty sailors, shovels and many empty buckets to the new camp, greatly accelerating the excavation of the sand island and bringing news to Lorraine.

On the way to come, they found a ruin of a long boat under a cliff.

"Longboat? Viking longboat?" Lorraine said in surprise.

"Yes, looking at the slender hull proportions, it should be a Sneckjack-type long warship that was popular in the 9th century, but because it was too late, we didn't board it to explore."

"The Vikings of the 9th century..." Lorraine patted Yacharin's shoulder with great interest, "You are not only knowledgeable, but also made the right decision, Yacharin."

"Compared with the ruins of an ancient ship that cannot run, digging Tongsha Island before nightfall, guarding against wild animals is our first priority. Tomorrow, we will see the ancient ship..."

...

The construction of sand islands and the transportation of personnel and materials continued overnight. On the second day, the rising sun rose again, and a semi-independent arc-shaped sand island was added to the wind-facing sand stall in Hebaxi.

The island is nearly one square kilometer, facing the sea and facing the sparse forest.

It is separated from the sparse forest by a two-meter-wide waterway, with a depth of nearly two meters. It introduces sea water, has high builds on both sides, and is also equipped with simple shrub fences.

The wild beasts on land do not like the sea. With such a simple camp protection channel, wild boars or other ferocious beasts hidden in the forest will not launch large-scale attacks. As for sporadic attacks, the sailors on duty can handle them.

The sand island and the island are connected by a log bridge four or five meters wide. After crossing the bridge forty or fifty meters, it is a Tamsui Pool.

Henna and Pierce would organize sailors to create continuous traps on the side of Xianglin, and they are also the heads of the temporary camp.

Fishing, hunting, repairing ships, collecting fresh water, the Butterfly Flower completely eliminated the survival crisis, and Lorraine also simply adjusted the dispatch of seafarers.

Pierce and Henna presided over the Wind Camp, who was also the camp's protector to deal with the accident.

Kron and Noya are responsible for the east coast beach. The entrances and exits there are narrow, with difficult-to-rise rocks on both sides. The defense structure is certainly not as safe as the windward camp, but they can live on the boat at night.

Noya is the protector of the beach on the east coast. Although Roma's witch is shy, her personal combat power is far higher than that of two normal humans, Yacharin and Kron, and she is firmly in the third place on the ship.

Lorraine further simplified the expedition team. The injured were rested and the sailors who were not moved were sent to the logistics, while Henna was replaced by Yacharin.

In this way, there were only 8 people left in the adventure team. In order to improve some combat effectiveness, Lorraine handed over Yacharin's ivory short gun to him again, which was borrowed.

In this way, after transporting two stern guns to the Wind Camp, the expedition team requisitioned an assault boat and, under the guidance of Yacharin, sailed towards the ruins of the long ship.

Not long after walking, Lorraine saw the Sneckjack-shaped long ship in Yacharin's mouth under a cliff.

She was seventeen or eighteen meters long and less than three meters wide. She stood a mast in the middle, about ten meters high. The sail above had long been weathered, leaving only lonely wooden poles, shaped like tombstones.

Looking at the ruins, the members of the expedition team landed on the dock. Lorraine stood on the protruding reef and took a closer look at this basically intact ancient warship.

Her ship is oak, which has gradually become petrified after years, but has almost no external decay.

Her hull was wrapped with a layer of hull plates, which were fixed to the hull with long iron rivets.

The gaps between the boat boards are huge because the threads and ropes made of animal hair and plant fibers are not as resistant to corrosion as ship materials and have long disappeared.

There is also the famous high curved bow and stern, which is carved from a complete piece of oak. The bow carved a bust of a woman, with big eyes and curly hair, and a line of ancient Icelandic words at the bottom of the portrait, [hallveig].

Lorraine? After a long time of disagreement, she couldn't help but look at the bust with exquisite carving skills, and used her imagination to turn her skin tone, her eyes were brown, and her hair was black...

He saw the deceased Helena...

This made Lorraine confirm a conjecture and create more doubts.

Helvig is the mother of the Lorraine whaler lineage, and the first wife of the legendary King Yinge Yanasun of Iceland.

But she is not a particularly prominent person, that is, she has no personal legend, nor does she meet the preferences of the Vikings in the tradition of using the black dragon Nighoud and the big snake Yemenggard to shock the seven seas...

Why, she became the bow image and patron saint of this ship?

Squeezing the doubts of the heart seat, Lorraine continued to check the hull.

The material of the keel is taken from tall straight oak trees. The middle is made into an arc to increase the load bearing capacity, while the two ends gradually narrow, forming a streamlined channel.

The boat ribs are made of solid oak wood, all of which are taken from naturally curved wood, and carefully crafted and placed on various parts of the keel.

The outside of the ribs is wrapped with an inch thick hull plate, made of overlapping oak blocks, fixed to the ribs with rivets, leaving long rows of paddle holes.

But now the long oars are still there, and the cables that should have been made of fir roots have long decayed, so the boards have become loose, and some of them are even more because.

A major feature of Viking Longboat is the open-air single-layer deck without an inner cabin.

Through the shedded hull plate, Lorraine saw rows of skeletons sitting at the bottom of the bilge, with rusty iron chains tied to her waist and legs. She looked miserable before her death, and most of her head flew away.

They were slaves who paddled with a total of 24 people, and they seemed to have been beheaded by a unified decapitation.

Combining the complete structure of the ship, Lorraine speculated that she was not stranded, but was actively stranded.

He also found the boat in the pattern of the keel...

【ingolf】, the wolf of the king.

"Ingel...Yanason?" Lorraine's eyes widened in disbelief.

Just as he was trying to understand the facts further, Yacharin led a few sailors to run out from the inside of the cliff in a panic.
