The experiment was successful. Lin Yan put the boat into the swimming pool and soaked it for five days. After making sure there was no water leakage, she let Maomu rowing take her to row around in the pool.
Soon the swimming pool became a scenic spot, and many people came to watch.
Ye Cong stood on the edge of the swimming pool and shouted: "Lin Yan, bring the boat over, I want to get on it too."
"And me." Shi Zhi shouted. A small boat can carry five or six people, and adding them is no problem.
Mao Mu pulled the boat aside, waited for the two people to get on, and then continued rowing.
The people watching on the shore were very excited and shouted to take the boat.
Maomu shouted: "This is a test, and you are not allowed to sit on it. After a few days, it is confirmed that the safety is good, and you will be able to ride on the boat."
"We're not afraid of falling."
"That's right, the water in this pool is not deep. We can swim up even if we fall in."
Mao Mu shook his head, "No, there are too many people. Once the test is successful, more boats will be built, so don't worry."
Alan and Kurotsuchi, who came after hearing the news, looked at the crowded pool and finally managed to squeeze to the edge.
When they saw what was happening in the water, both of them stared with wide eyes. They could really float on the water, move, and paddle wherever they wanted.
When people sit on it, they don't have to worry about falling or getting wet.
Alan thought of the scene described by Lin Yan and couldn't help but said excitedly: "It's really done. I'll go up and try it too."
Kurotsuchi shouted: "Let's go up and try to sit down."
Others were rejected, but these two could not refuse. They were related to the decision of whether they could sail away in the future.
When Kurotsuchi and Alan got on the boat, there was no room.
Momu was paddling alone, and it was a little difficult. Kurotsuchi looked at him and said, "Get out of the way, I'll do the paddling."
A'lan's body was still shaking as she sat. It was the first time she was on the water, which made her very uneasy and she could not control her shaking.
Lin Yan comforted: "Don't worry, it's safe. The outside of the boat is coated with tung oil to make it waterproof. It doesn't leak. It's very strong. It's very stable on the boat and won't bump around."
Alan nodded and grasped the side of the boat tightly with his hands.
After Kurotsuchi took over the oar, the speed of the boat was obviously faster, and Alan didn't dare to relax.
After spinning around in the swimming pool, Kurotsuchi put down the paddle and said, "The boat is a good thing. You can control the speed while floating on the water. Can we go to the other side of the river?"
He had looked across the Sun River countless times and wanted to take a look. With the boat, this wish came true.
Lin Yan shook his head, "The water surface of the Sun River is wide, and the water flow can be rapid or slow. If you want to cross this small boat, you must first find a place with gentle water flow. Or if you wait a little longer, I plan to build a larger boat with increased weight. It’s safer to be on the water, too.”
"I know where the current is not fast. There is a section just to the south. The river is very wide, the water is deep, and there are no rapids." Kurotsuchi had already observed it.
"We can give it a try. After three days, the test will be over and the boat will be fine. We will try to launch it from there. It's best to call a few people with good water skills."
Kurotsuchi nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll find him. That's it."
I have been training for swimming since last year, and the results have been remarkable. Many people in the military department are good at swimming. We had already made preparations and were waiting for the boat to arrive and go out on the water together.
Alan smiled and said, "Just make your decision. You must ensure safety and nothing can happen to anyone."
"I will ask everyone to be careful and ensure everyone's safety." Kurotsuchi was very confident in Lin Yan's boat. After just rowing, he felt very relaxed.
Lin Yan looked at Alan, "Don't you want to take a boat to the other side of the river?"
Alan shook his head, "I'm getting older, and my body can't withstand the twists and turns. I'll stay in the city while you go." Just after being on the water for a while, she felt dizzy and unbearable.
"Okay, you have to take care of yourself, Sun City cannot do without you. From now on, the work will be left to the people below, so don't tire yourself out."
Lin Yan looked at Alan's increasingly older face and suddenly felt something. Alan is a good leader, and many things go smoothly with her.
However, she is already in her fifties, so she is really old. I don't know how long I can last.
Kurotsuchi also said: "There are many of us, so you don't have to do everything yourself. Just like Lin Yan said, take care of yourself. We want to witness the growth of Sun City together."
Alan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I listen to you, go get busy."
She knew very well what was going on with her body, and Alan also understood what they were talking about. Just letting her sit idle and not work would definitely not work, and she would not be able to stay idle.
There are so many things waiting for her to see, how can she rest assured?
After a few days, the test of the boat was completed. Everything was in good condition and could be used with confidence.
Kurotsuchi immediately took five people to transport the boat to the Sun River. They were going to cross the river today. This was the first time that the Sun tribe people had crossed the Sun River.
Some people came here after hearing the news and wanted to witness this moment with their own eyes.
Lin Yan and the people in the laboratory were all here. They witnessed Lin Yan and Mao Mu building this boat. It was going to be actually used today, so of course they had to watch it together.
Hua Min whispered: "I hope I can successfully reach the other side of the Sun River. I have long wanted to know what it is like over there. It would be better if I could see it in person."
Huang Ying said: "As long as Heitu and the others can cross the river smoothly, we can cross."
"Heitu and the others are very powerful and will definitely be able to cross the river successfully." Ye Cong was full of confidence in them.
Shi Zhi: "Stop talking, Kurotsuchi and the others are about to set off. Let's cheer for them together."
Everyone was more or less nervous. After all, it was the first time to float on the Sun River. It was unknown whether we could pass through such a wide river smoothly.
Lin Yan looked carefully and found that the crossing point chosen by Heitu was very good. The Sun River is very calm here. The depth of the water makes it difficult to tell the speed of the flow, just like the surface of a lake. As long as there are no obstacles in the water, it shouldn't be difficult to cross the river.
For safety reasons, a long hemp rope was prepared in advance, one end was tied to the boat, and the other end was tied to a tree on the river bank.
Kurotsuchi and the others all carry swords and spears to prevent monsters from appearing in the water.
When everything was ready, Kurotsuchi stood on the boat and waved to Lin Yan and the others. The boat slowly left the river bank and headed towards the opposite side.
The boat was getting further and further away, and Lin Yan stared at the water nervously. It was calm all the time.
Gradually, only a small dot remained on the river, and it was unclear what it was.
Time seemed to pass very quickly, but also seemed very long. Lin Yan clasped his hands and stared into the distance without saying a word.
The width of the river is about a few hundred meters away, and the boat can row faster on the water. An hour's round trip is enough.
As long as Kurotsuchi and the others reach the other side, they will return immediately without stopping.
During the long wait, the small dots in the distance became larger and larger, and someone shouted: "Kurotsuchi and the others are back, look, they are back."
This shout excited everyone.
