"Wang Zuo" wants to build a walnut boat! Determination is firm and unstoppable!
Since the great divine envoy Wangdu chose to sail in a walnut ship, there must be a reason why he had to do so. Maybe it was a divine decree that had not been circulated - "Wang Zuo" thought: Then I will also make walnuts The ship sets sail.
As for how to build a walnut boat? have no idea! Where will you go? Not sure! Is there any danger? Ignore it!
In short, "Wang Zuo" was obsessed with building a ship and sailing, and the first problem before him was how to build a walnut ship and where to find walnut trees.
On the one hand, "Wang Zuo", through contact with the "Mustard Seed" forces, did everything possible to get some information about walnut ships, including what walnuts looked like. Then he made the information into an information package, and sent envoys to take risks and travel through various nest strongholds to order his soldiers and civilians. Look for walnut trees as you forage.
On the other hand, "Wang Zuo" sent envoys to the Big-headed Ant survivors in an attempt to learn shipbuilding technology from them. "Wang Zuo" was born in the southwest region. Before he got married and flew away, he had heard the story of the survivors of big-headed ants floating in the water, and he took it for granted that they could also build boats.
It took a full month for the envoy to go back and forth. At this time, the Big-headed Ant survivors already knew that the remaining power of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, an ally, had grown again. Even though they still had no ability to shake the Destroyer's control over this place, they did not dare to be as leisurely as before. Instead, we intend to continue to maintain a good relationship.
The survivors of the big-headed ants truthfully confessed that they were forced to cross the river with the help of floating objects and did not know how to build a boat. "Wang Zuo" was silent for a long time after hearing the news.
In the end, he could only continue to contact the "Mustard Seed" forces. Now only the other party could help him. Even if he questioned the loyalty and courage of "Mustard Seed" not long ago, he had to patiently negotiate with the other party.
Because the "Mustard Seed" department really knew something about the walnut ship, at least better than "Wang Zuo" knew it.
Although the "Mustard Seed" force has a small territory, it happens to control important resource locations for building walnut ships and sailing. The walnut forest on the shore of the big lake controlled by "Mustard Seed" was the source of the materials used by the Divine Messenger King to build the walnut boat. The relatively calm big lake was also a more suitable place and departure dock than the surging river.

After "Wang Zuo" learned this, he wanted to exchange the needed resources at all costs. In the end, after a series of negotiations, "Wang Zuo" obtained the walnut forest and lakeside resources by nominally respecting "Jie Zi", who had a higher status and more seniority, as the temporary leader of his hometown, and paying a certain amount of grain and salt every year. Unlimited use rights.
Anyway, "Mustard" was not interested in walnuts or walnut groves to begin with. Both parties felt that they got what they wanted from the exchange, and the relationship between the two parties also eased a lot.
After obtaining the right to use the walnut forest and lakeshore resources, "Wang Zuo" immediately led a newly built colonization team, risking his way to avoid the destroyers, and arrived at the location of the walnut forest in a roundabout way, where he established a new colony. nest. Then while expanding the nest and searching for food, he couldn't wait to start experimenting with building a walnut boat as soon as possible.
It is autumn, the season when walnuts are ripe, and huge walnuts are hanging plumply on the treetops.
The information "Wang Zuo" got about the walnut ship from "Mustard Seed" was also very limited. After all, most of the ants who were proficient in navigation and construction were taken away by Zhu Jue, and the rest basically died in the war. He only knew that the walnut boat had to drill a hole from the navel, but he didn’t know anything about the mast, sail gear, ropes and other technologies.
"Wang Zuo" could only lead the ants to explore on his own. Although he was smart, he was not a time traveler like Zhu Jue who came with his own experience package. With just a few pieces of information, he was able to build a batch of simple versions of walnuts. The boat is truly a miracle.
These walnut boats are very primitive and crude. They don’t even have the outer skin peeled off. They just have a hole drilled in the navel to get inside the walnut. They don’t have any other boat parts. Once they hit the water, they can only drift with the current like coconuts.
It was such a simple walnut boat. After the trial found that it could float on the water for a long time without sinking, "Wang Zuo" ordered a male ant to lead a number of worker ants into the cabin and float away with the water as the first batch of people looking for it. The expedition of the Divine Messenger King.
As for how long the ship can float, whether the God Envoy King can be found, and whether the ants inside can survive, "Wang Zuo" doesn't care at all. All he wants is a hope!
Even at the beginning, the ants would hollow out the inside of the walnut boat, take out all the walnut meat, arrange a simple nest chamber, and then refill it with dry food. However, there was too little food near the walnut forest. Later, they simply did not load the walnut ship with food. They only dug a shallow hole in the navel of the walnut, barely suitable for the ants, and the number of crew members was reduced to a minimum. During the voyage, the ants dug up walnut meat to eat when they were hungry, drank lake and river water when they were thirsty, and threw their feces out of the boat on their own.
And these ants who set foot on the drifting ship have no way of predicting their own fate. Most of them drifted to strange lands with the ships, and died after landing ashore due to the inevitable fate after leaving the shelter of the ant colony. Some walnut ships eventually sank, and the ant crew had to go down with the ship. At least a dozen different kinds of misfortune awaited these brave but reckless voyagers.
Just such a simple walnut boat, "Wang Zuo" would leave dozens of them in a short period of time from autumn after the walnuts mature to before winter. In a few years, hundreds of walnut ships have completed their long or short journeys along the route that Zhu Jue's fleet took.
And in the end, this was the only one that could reach the area where Zhu Jue was now. This is the only ant that can see Zhu Jue's ant alive.
He experienced the test of rapids and severe cold, and when he ran out of food, he could only eat the corpses of his companions. He suffered in the filth of corpses and feces, and he almost died of hunger, lack of water, and exhaustion.
But, he finally succeeded!

He woke up. After seeing Zhu Jue himself, the male ant saw the face he had seen countless times in the information packets, and the smell he had smelled countless times in the information packets, so that he did not even need to confirm it with his tentacles. , and fell to the ground with excitement.
Zhu Jue personally lifted up the warrior, touched his whole body with his tentacles, and gave him the highest respect and courtesy.
Zhu Jue entertained the warrior with a grand banquet. Honeydew and meat were presented as if they could be obtained without labor. However, this alone seemed not enough to make up for the sacrifices made by the warrior, let alone staying in his homeland. The sacrifices of those "abandoned people".
Therefore, how to contact and "deal with" those soldiers and civilians who have been abandoned is the problem Zhu Jue must face now!
