This move caused an uproar in Sun City.
When Alan arrived with his men, Kuitu was teaching the military personnel the essentials of swimming. Ten people had already been selected and they entered the water voluntarily.
"Kurotsuchi, why do you suddenly want to learn swimming?" Alan asked hurriedly. This is in the water, and people will die.
Heitu pulled Alan to the side and whispered: "Lin Yan is making a boat and can walk on water. You can ask her."
When he heard that it was Lin Yan's idea, Alan's expression changed and he warned: "You have to be careful and don't drown people. I'll go find Lin Yan."
"Don't worry, the water is not deep. You can't drown anyone if you stand up with your head exposed." Kurotsuchi personally tested the height. The deepest point is 1.8 meters, and the shallow water is only 1 meter deep.
Alan was not at all relieved and went to find Lin Yan worriedly.
At this moment, Lin Yan was writing and drawing in her notebook. She wanted to make a small boat first, the simplest one that could carry people moving in the water.
"Lin Yan, what do you think, why do you want to learn to swim? The water is too scary, people will drown if they go in."
Lin Yan looked up at Alan and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient, just listen to me."
Taking out the ship model, Lin Yan explained to Alan the future of water navigation. It's difficult to walk on land, but as long as you can build a good boat, it's a more convenient way in the water.
Alan's worry slowly turned into longing, "Is it really that fast, able to travel thousands of miles in a day, and travel around the world along rivers?"
"Definitely. If you think about rivers flowing downwards, where does so much water go? And people will live beside the water, just like our Sun Tribe. You will definitely find other humans along the rivers. Learn from their strengths. , and also promote our products. At that time, everyone knew about Sun City. If someone wanted to join, we would have more people to expand the territory of Sun City. Only in this way can we continue to grow and develop. More people are more powerful. What ferocious beasts are we afraid of?"
"And there are many things in the outside world that we don't have. They are all what we need. Boats must be built, and people must learn to swim. Alan, think about it seriously, is this true?"
Lin Yan blinked her big eyes and tried to paint the blueprint in her heart more brilliantly, but she knew that those were all false. What Alan cared about most was how to make the Sun Tribe better.
Alan's heart was moved by what he said. No matter what the future holds, just being able to walk on water is very tempting.
They have lived along the water for generations, but they are afraid of the water. It would be a good thing if this could be changed.
Alan said: "When will your boat be built? I think Kurotsuchi and the others have a hard time learning to swim. I don't know if they can learn it."
"Let's make a small boat first. It won't take a few months. We will definitely be able to make it this year. Has Kurotsuchi already taken people to learn how to swim?"
"Yes, a group of people gathered there, but no one knew how to do it."
Lin Yan said, "I'll try it in the water first." She knew how to swim before and could teach them.
When they came to the swimming pool, they looked at the people splashing in the water, choking on the water and coughing, and the people surrounding the pool felt even more unsure.
Lin Yan walked to Heitu and asked, "Has no one learned it yet?"
"Not long after I got down, everyone was thrashing about." Kurotsuchi's clothes were all wet, and he had obviously been in the water. "I went down and tried, and it was very difficult."
Lin Yan was wearing short-sleeved shorts, which was suitable for getting into the water. She said, "I'll go down and give it a try."
Looking at her height, Kurotsuchi said hesitantly: "You go there, the water is shallow, I will accompany you."
Lin Yan was noncommittal. Although she had not been in the water for many years, she felt that the problem was not big. Seeing that Kurotsuchi was so worried, I left it to him.
Others noticed that Lin Yan was in the water and stared at him.
Someone worried: "She is so young, what should I do if something happens to her?"
"Bah, bah, bah, you can't think of the bright side. That's Lin Yan, she can definitely do it."
"Yes, I heard that Lin Yan came up with swimming. She seems to want to build a boat and take people who can swim out."
"Real or fake? What is the boat? Has it been made?"
Mao Mu mingled with the crowd, listening to their chatter, and couldn't help but said: "Don't talk nonsense. Lin Yan can definitely do what he wants to do, we just have to wait."
"It's Momu, can you swim?"
Someone took the lead, and people gathered around Maomu asking questions.
When Mao Mu was asked, he was at a loss for words. He only insisted: "What Lin Yan must do is right."
Seeing that Lin Yan had entered the water, he anxiously crowded to the edge of the pool and shouted: "Lin Yan, you have to be careful."
Lin Yan responded with a bright smile, asked Kurotsuchi to stay away from him, and plunged into the water.
"Ah! She's sinking. Get her up quickly." Someone shouted anxiously.
Alan stared at the water nervously. After waiting, he saw Lin Yan floating up and sinking again. After several times, her floating and sinking suddenly became regular.
Alan's heart relaxed a little, thinking that what Lin Yan said was true, she could swim.
In less than ten minutes, the crowd gradually quieted down, and their eyes followed the people in the water.
I saw Lin Yan swimming from the shallow water to the deep water and back again. She was like a fish in the water, smooth and easy, not as difficult as others.
Yes, it is difficult. People who entered the water at first felt this way. They did everything wrong in the water. They drank a lot of water, choked and felt uncomfortable, but they still couldn't learn.
Kurotsuchi watched Lin Yan's movements, up and down, breathing in time, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the water.
In less than a minute, he emerged from the water, his face turned red and he felt like he was going to explode.
Someone saw Kurotsuchi's movements, pointed at him and laughed: "Look, Kurotsuchi can't even learn it. Only Lin Yan can be as free as a fish."
The crowd gradually began to discuss, and some people looked at Lin Yan's appearance and were ready to take action, so they all went into the water to try it themselves.
More and more people were splashing around in the pool. It didn't take long for some people to master the trick and learn how to swim everywhere in the water. The others' eyes turned red.
Since others can learn it, you can certainly do it too. No one thinks that they are worse than others.
Seeing Heitui fail again and again, Lin Yan shook his head, "You have to throw away the fear of water in your heart. Just like you told them, the water is not deep and cannot submerge you."
Kurotsuchi nodded seriously and tried to relax his body. He also noticed that as soon as he got into the water, his whole body tensed up, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.
Seeing more and more people learn it made him even more nervous.
Seeing that someone had mastered the key and could teach others, Lin Yan came out of the water and planned to return to the laboratory.
There are both men and women in the water. Generally speaking, women are bolder and learn faster.
Alan walked to Lin Yan and said, "Let's take a walk together."
"Okay." Lin Yan nodded with a smile.
The two of them were chatting while walking, and when they were about to arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Alan said: "You are right, Sun City will depend on you to lead it from now on. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Lin Yan nodded, "Okay. Let's finish the work for this year first. The wheat in the fields is the top priority."
No need for her to say it, Alan knew that was the top priority.
