Chapter 1117: Going to the sea
Xiao Qing watched the boat get smaller with her own eyes, and now she is watching the boat get bigger. The most important tool was the pump she helped Bai Zhi make.
The boat was inflated and bigger than before.
The material of the nano-rubber boat was very special. It can be stretched very large or shrunk very small. It was a new type of material that has been popularized in the 23rd century.
There was plenty of room inside the rubber boat, enough for the three of them, and plenty of room for stuff.
“This, what exactly is this?” Shane Shaw walked around the rubber boat, groping left and right.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “This is the boat I mentioned. It is made of special materials. It will not sink, but it cannot be broken. If it is broken, it will be completely useless.”
Shane Shaw was very smart. He has already thought of the principle. He naturally knows what the consequences of breaking it will be, and he becomes cautious when he touches it.
Bai Zhi said: “Although there is a boat, it’s not realistic for you to row alone. Why don’t we cut down trees to make three pairs of oars, and practice first before we set off?”
Shane Shaw responded immediately: “Okay, let’s do it like this, let’s row a boat together. We will be able to get out of here before the storm comes.”
Bai Zhi was stunned: “Storm? Do you know when there will be a storm?”
Shane Shaw replied: “As I said before, there is a storm eye not far from here. There will be storms every day. Only if our speed is fast enough, we can avoid the storm before it comes.”
It turns out that they were able to come to this island yesterday because they encountered the storm.
Shane Shaw can’t build boats, but he can make oars. Even if he doesn’t usually do it, he has seen many.
Coupled with Xiao Qing’s sharp dagger, the three pairs of oars were quickly prepared.
Shane Shaw seemed to be in love with Xiao Qing’s dagger. He looked at it and touched it repeatedly. He was amazed at the exquisiteness and sharpness of this dagger, which was much better than their country’s dagger.
Xiao Qing just pretended that he didn’t see his envious and loving eyes. When he finished making the oar, she immediately asked for it back.
This was the dagger that their young master gave her. No matter how much others like it, she will not give it. Don’t even think about it.
Shane Shaw asked Bai Zhi: “Are all your daggers in the Central Plains so good?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said, “This is just an ordinary dagger, and there are better ones.”
Shane Shaw was even more determined to go to the Central Plains. What kind of place would it be like?
After practicing all morning, seeing the storm coming, they just came back from work and escaped into the woods.
They ate two sea fish and three coconuts for lunch.
Seeing Xiao Qing lightly climbing the coconut tree, Shane Shaw was envious and exclaimed: “If I had such skills, would I still be afraid of starving to death on this desert island?”
According to Shane Shaw’s observations, the storm comes at a fixed time each day, around 1:00 p.m.
To leave the island and stay away from the eye of the storm, it would take at least four hours to approach at full speed.
So, to be on the safe side, they leave at least two hours early.
That is to leave at five o’clock.
Xiao Qing picked all the coconuts and sea pears she could pick, while Bai Zhi dried the fish and lobsters. Shane Shaw put the coconut juice into all the blood bags, there were only seven bags in total. The coconut pulp, fish, and shrimp were piled up in the corner of the boat. These will be their food throughout the journey in the sea. Early the next morning, when the sky was just a little brighter, the three hurried out to sea.
