When Tieda heard the news, he couldn't believe it, "It really only costs 50 cents. Will you help me build a tung oil mill?"
Lin Yan looked at him with a smile, "Of course it's true. This is the first result sold by the laboratory. You are the first person, and we will definitely provide good service. For specific matters, you can contact Ye Cong, he will understand the whole process. They all know a lot about each other and will help you design the oil shop and customize various tools.”
Tie Da was overjoyed and went to find Ye Cong.
A few days later, Lin Yan heard from Hua Hong that the foundations of the commercial street had been sold, and the land would be inspected the next day, and the money would be paid after confirmation on the spot.
Huahong and Jinzai had already visited that area. The place was big enough and they had a choice, so they asked Lin Yan, "Should we choose in the middle of the street or on both sides?"
"In the middle. I heard that both sides occupy a larger area. We only need the foundation for four rooms, so we don't need to consider both sides."
Lin Yan thought about having to work on the last part of the ship model with Feng Wenwen tomorrow, so he said, "Just go and settle the land. I don't have time to go there."
Huahong said: "It's such a big thing, why don't you go and see it in person? We will write your name on it. It is your asset. Are you really not going?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "Just go ahead and do it. When the foundation is purchased and the house is built, I will design the house for you."
The family harvested another crop of juma, and Huahong and Jinzai were very busy every day.
"When the third crop of june is planted, our family will build a house and move the restaurant there before the cold season."
"In such a hurry, it would be nice to open a restaurant at home. We can move next year when we are not busy." Huahong felt that time was too late.
The wheat field cannot be separated from people, and restaurants are usually open, so it is very busy every day.
Lin Yan thought about it, "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to move the restaurant there as soon as possible, and then I can build a house when I have time."
Lin Yan continued to copy the dictionary at night. Looking at the thick dictionary, Lin Yan felt worried. It would probably take a year or two to finish copying it all.
It has been more than half a year since I started copying, and I have only finished one third of it. It is indeed difficult to be a porter.
"Pang Bao, is there a way to print it out directly? How long will it take to copy this? I'm exhausted."
Fat Bao: "No. The Science and Technology Museum is just an energy body and cannot transform into physical objects."
"Oh, it's so difficult for me. When will this writing stroke by stroke come to an end? Especially when there are so many books waiting for me, it's too difficult."
Lin Yan prefers to study other things than copying books. Although copying books is effortless, it is also a laborious task. No one else can help her, so she can only write it word by word.
After copying six pages and shaking off his sore arms and wrists, Lin Yan could finally sleep.
Falling asleep is like this every day, and as soon as I open my eyes, I start a new busy day.
The last part of the scaled-down model of the big ship can be completed today. It will take a few days to assemble it and work on the shape.
During this period of time, Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen never left the laboratory. With the help of five skilled carpenters, they were so busy every day that they didn't even have time to eat.
On July 10th, I saw a model ship that could carry people. The outer layer of the ship was painted with tung oil, the gaps were filled, and finally the entire ship was waterproofed.
This is a three-story ship. The bottom floor is the rower's position, the middle floor is the cabin, and the top floor is an observation deck.
"It's almost done. Once the ship is successfully tested, we will build a bigger ship next year." Lin Yan held the can in his hand and applied oil carefully with a brush.
Feng Wenwen's eyes flashed, "We will be able to travel far next year. After the water test is completed, the parts of the big ship can be started."
She was very confident in the boat and built it by herself, knowing every detail clearly. All designs have been calculated and checked repeatedly, and theoretically there is no problem at all.
It was Lin Yan who insisted on testing the water to make sure the ship's performance was intact before proceeding to the next step.
Lin Yan nodded, "That's right. We finally have hope for our long voyage on the water."
"Take me with you when the time comes." Feng Wenwen said while inspecting, "We can't build a big ship with just a few of us. We need the cooperation of the wood factory."
"Absolutely, otherwise we have to wait until we can do it. It's okay to make small parts, but large parts are manual work, so we need to find more people to help. When the time comes, please ask the wood factory to do it, and we will do a good job of checking it."
Lin Yan had made plans to build a big ship, and when this test was successful, all plans could begin.
Three days later, the ship was launched for testing.
This time there was no fanfare and only a handful of people came to witness the moment.
The test boat was on the Sun River, and the water in the swimming pool could not bear the gravity of the boat.
Compared to the original boat, this one looks much more majestic and refined.
Lin Yan stood on the top platform, looked at the sparkling water, and shouted: "Set the boat!"
The oarsmen on the bottom of the boat rowed their oars in unison, and the boat began to move slowly.
Standing with Lin Yan was Yun Qing, who offered to participate in this trial ship. Standing high, as the boat moved, Yun Qing felt pride welling up in her chest.
"Lin Yan, can this ship travel far?"
Lin Yan nodded, "The design and materials of the boat can withstand the wear and tear of long journeys, but the hull is too small and the number of people it can carry is limited. Including six oarsmen, it can only seat fifteen people in total. It is still too small."
An airtight cabin is designed at the bottom of the ship to improve the safety of the ship. If only a few people are traveling far away, it is still applicable.
"That's enough. I'll take a group of people out." Yun Qing could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She wanted to lead people to explore along the Sun River first.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, "After the ship test is over and the safety of the ship is ensured, you and Alan and the others will decide after discussion whether to go far away."
Yun Qing nodded, "Okay. I'll mention it to them when I get back."
Feng Wenwen stood at the edge, wanting to speak but stopping.
Lin Yan glanced at her and said, "Don't even think about it."
Lin Yan didn't want to travel far by boat, but she told herself not to be in a hurry. Once more ships are built, it will be safer to travel in a fleet.
After crossing the Sun River, the boat turned around and returned to the shore. Lin Yan looked into the distance and ordered the boat to go down.
After walking southward along the Sun River for an hour, they encountered a group of large white geese.
It takes a day's walk to get here from the shore, and it takes just over an hour by boat.
Yun Qing breathed a little faster, "It's too fast on the water. Let's continue southward after the geese come ashore."
"Are we still going south?" Lin Yan was a little worried, "We have to return before dark."
"It's still early, it's only noon, and after walking for a while, we'll turn around and go back." Yun Qing looked at Nanfang with brilliant eyes.
Walking in the jungle is a completely different scenery than sitting on a boat. At the speed of this ship, we can cover a long distance in half a day.
Seeing that Yun Qing was in high spirits, Lin Yan could only nod in agreement. It was indeed still early.
There is some food and utensils on board, so you can spend the night outside.
