Li Daoxuan was also amused by his explanation. This time, because the boat was not made of plastic, but iron, it was also covered with a layer of composite pressed panels for sun protection, so it had to be repainted for the sake of beauty.
In order to make the ship model look antique and beautiful, Cai Xinzi painted it with wood grain paint. After it was painted, it looked like an ancient ship.
Who knows that this normal color is abnormal in the eyes of villains.
"Get aboard and go to the captain's cabin."
Li Daoxuan showed the big paper.
Bai Yuan quickly put away her chaotic thoughts and led a group of people to the side of the boat.
Although it is a river ship, it does not have a very high side like a sea ship, but the side of the ship is still quite high for small people. If you want to get on the ship, you need to climb up in a very unsightly manner.
Bai Yuan was good at showing off but not good at using unsightly gestures. She froze on the side of the ship...
A servant shouted from the side: "Master, there is a ladder here."
Bai Yuan took a closer look and saw that there was actually a small ladder extending from the side of the ship to the deck. This showed that the details of the ship were fully considered when it was built. It was really great.
Now Bai Yuan was able to get on board. He climbed onto the ship gracefully and walked through the captain's cabin as fast as he could. He saw the round rudder at a glance. He knew that it controlled the direction without thinking. Looking at it again Next to the rudder, there is a familiar switch that is exactly the same as the switch on the small train.
"Don't you understand how to drive this thing at a glance?" Bai Yuan chuckled: "You only need to click the switch here first, and the ship will run forward, and then turn the rudder to control the direction. I think When stopped, just click the following switch.
Zhang Yuanwai was surprised: "It can be operated so easily? Doesn't it require sails and oars?"
Bai Yuan: "Hey, the things given by Tianzun are all like this! They use the power of the immortal family, how can a mortal understand it?"
Zhang Yuanwai did not dare to question this aspect, but he could be considered a person who grew up by the Yellow River and knew a little about boat handling: "Even if it uses Xianjia power and does not need sails and oars, such a big ship , it’s still very difficult when turning, docking, etc. Brother Bai, don’t press the switch randomly.”
Bai Yuan put her hand on the switch. After hearing what he said, she became cautious and took her hand back: "That's right. I'm not very good at sailing. After all, this is not a gentleman's art."
A servant behind him stood up: "Master, I know a little bit about rowing. The latest and fastest starter."
It turns out that next to Baijiabao is Horseshoe Lake. Most of the Baijia family members grew up by the lake and can swim. Almost all of them can control boats.
But none of them have ever sailed such a big ship. Now they can only say that they will give it a try, but they dare not say that they will sail it soon.
Bai Yuan cheered up: "Okay, all the servants who can row can prepare. Let's try to control this big boat. Brother Zhang, there are many fishermen in Heyang County who have grown up on the Yellow River all their lives, right? Take them Call us on board, and let’s try to control this big ship together. If this ship can be used, why are we afraid of rogue bandits on the water?”
Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed: "It's what Brother Bai said."
He quickly shouted at the fishermen on the fishing boats in Qiatou: "Everyone who is good at water and has good boat handling skills can get on the big boat and give Mr. Bai an idea."
The group of fishermen had long wanted to go on the big boat to find out what was going on. After hearing this, there was no reason not to be positive. A dozen fishermen rushed onto the boat together, running up and down the deck, touching here and there. Touch it, it's so strange.
Li Daoxuan also looked at the ship carefully, placing one hand on the four "southeast, northwestern, and southeastern" buttons outside the box at any time.
The Yellow River is so wide that it occupies the entire field of view of his box.
The box is 5 meters wide. If the boat sails into the middle of the box, Li Daoxuan can't reach it. If the boat capsizes, he may not have time to rescue the little man who fell into the water. So he had to put his hands on the four "southeast, northwestern" buttons, adjust his field of view at any time, and keep the ship running on the edge of his box, so that he could reach out to help.
People inside and outside the box were a little nervous.
In this tense mood, Bai Yuan clicked on the electric switch.
The small motor drove the propeller to rotate, and white water splashed immediately at the stern of the boat. A fisherman standing at the stern of the boat shouted: "There is something spinning behind the butt of the boat, pushing our boat away."
"Is there such a ship?"
"So it's a fairy ship."
"Wow, turn left quickly! Turn left in advance, otherwise the current of the Yellow River will push us and we won't have time to turn around in front of the rocks." shouted an old boatman who was familiar with the hydrology of the Yellow River.
Bai Yuan concentrated on steering the rudder. He was so nervous that he sweated at first, but after a few minutes, he calmed down and the rudder spun quickly in his hands. He laughed and said, "This thing is better than I imagined." It is easier to operate, hahaha, and it is freer than driving a small train. The small train can only travel along the track, but this fairy boat can travel anywhere on the Yellow River.
A fisherman jumped on the deck: "This boat is much better than our small fishing boat. It is smooth, stable and fast. If I cast a big net on this boat, fishing will be more convenient than on a small fishing boat."
"You have been poor all your life, and you still want to fish when you have such a big boat? If you use such a big boat to transport a boat of grain, transport it to places in northern Shaanxi where the price of grain is thousands of yuan, won't you make a fortune? It's no better than Do you make money quickly by fishing?”
"Tch, is that a place where you and I can go? You can earn your life, but you can't spend your life. If the bandits don't chop you to death on the way."
"In the past, we were weak and were afraid of rogues. Now that we have such a big ship, we are strong. Why should we be afraid of rogues? Where can we not do business?"
Even if it's the government's navy, I'm not afraid anymore.
"Wow, this is not a pleasant thing to say. What you said is no different from treason.
The fishermen laughed.
After Bai Yuan tried it out, he moved the big boat back to Qiachuan Pier. The fishermen threw a long rope down and wrapped it around the wooden pillars of the pier. But he looked at the huge ship and then looked at it again. The small wooden pillar that usually wrapped around the fishing boat shouted: "This big boat cannot be entangled with a rope. What if it is washed away by the current in the middle of the night?"
"Anchor! Use an anchor!" An old fisherman shouted: "The big government ships all use large four-claw iron anchors. We must have one on our ship, so look for it quickly.
Soon, they found a huge anchor. There was a special rack to put it on the stern of the ship. When they pressed the mechanism, the anchor fell into the water with a splash, fixing the big ship.
The fishermen immediately cheered: "It's done! It's done! We can use this boat."
