Lin Yan knew that he was anxious, but he still said: "We can't do it now. When we come back from this trip, I will explain to you in detail how to replace manpower."
"Can't you tell me now?" Huang Ying pressed. She was also eager to know the answer.
"Why rush? You can't do it even if you know it. Just like on the first day of physics class, I taught you about electricity, electromagnetism, etc. It's not time to rush."
Lin Yan was also anxious, but the actual conditions could not be met, so he could only wait patiently, hoping that he would gain something from this trip.
Materials in Sun City are still too scarce. Not to mention mineral resources, the food available is very simple. So far, no edible salt has been found.
The first day went smoothly. The fleet docked on the water for a night's rest. The next day, it set sail at dawn.
Lin Yan thought too much last night. He went to bed very late and was the last one to get up.
He took out the pancakes that Hua Hong brought for her and heated them up, and then had a makeshift meal. Others also ate simply, eating steamed buns and dried meat.
There are limited cooking pots on the ship, so when so many people eat, most of them just eat steamed buns and pancakes and drink some hot soup.
Lin Yan came out of the cabin and saw Lan Yue standing on the bow of the ship with a bow and arrow on her back, looking into the distance. She suddenly felt that she was already a qualified soldier.
The most obvious difference from them is that the bow and arrow on Lan Yue's back and the knife on his waist never leave his body, and he is always ready for battle.
At this moment, she stood there, and her tenacity could be felt just from her back, like a beast that was ready to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
Less than a year after joining the military, Lan Yue already has the demeanor and pride of a soldier.
Lin Yan rolled his eyes, opened up his mental power, held his breath and concentrated, silently approaching, a ray of mental power enveloped Lan Yue's body, and he was just about to attack.
Lan Yue suddenly moved and rolled to the left to avoid it.
When she turned around and saw that it was Lin Yan, she lowered her guard and said, "You want to make a sneak attack?"
"Yeah, it's a pity that you discovered me." Lin Yan was quite regretful, "I just confirmed that you didn't activate your mental power, how could you detect me."
"Intuition. As soon as your spiritual power comes close, I feel something is wrong."
"You are too keen. No one else's mental power can get close to your body. If I don't activate my mental power, I can't do this."
Lan Yue said: "Who believes it? I have tried it myself. Your sensitivity is not inferior to mine at all. Even if you have no mental power, you can detect and react immediately."
She had tried it herself, and Lin Yan's reaction was not slow at all.
Lin Yan smiled and said nothing. She found that people who have cultivated spiritual power are very sensitive and have an intuition for crises. If someone else's mental energy comes close, they can be detected immediately.
She changed the subject, "What were you watching just now, so focused?"
"Looking at the river bank, I wonder if there are people living in the vegetation. Our tribe once lived not far from the river."
"There should be. We are on the boat and can't be found unless someone comes to the water. Just like Li Shu and the others, they were fishing on the shore and happened to bump into it. I hope we can have such luck in the future."
"Do you really want to meet other tribes?"
"Yes. Humans are an advanced race among all animals. They have thinking and wisdom. If you find them, you may be able to find more resources. It is easier to search aimlessly in this endless wilderness than on our own. .”
I think it was Tieda and the others who brought iron ore and discovered tung oil. Without them, the people of Sun City would not have been able to travel so far, and we don’t know how many years it will take to make any discoveries.
Lan Yue thought about it for a while and said, "You're right. Tie Da and the others brought iron, but Li Shu and his family are good at climbing, with very flexible hands and feet, and are good hunters. Their contribution to Sun City is not small." "
While the two were talking, Huang Ying came over and asked, "When can we get to Yanghe? I heard them say it's soon. It's been an hour and we haven't arrived yet."
"It's almost there. Just wait and we'll be there." Lin Yan pointed to the mountain peak that could be seen in the distance, "That's Hengshan Mountain. The Yang River branches off after flowing out of Hengshan Mountain."
"I heard that the Yang River is wider than the Sun River. I always thought that the Sun River was the largest river in this area."
"How far have you traveled? This area is very vast, and our scope of activities is too small."
Huang Ying smiled and said, "You're right. The farthest place I've ever traveled is a mine, and all I encountered on the road were small streams. None of them can compare to the Sun River. That's why I feel this way."
"You will understand when you see Yanghe. Look, the mountain peak is not far away. You can reach the fork in half an hour at most."
Lin Yan's expectation was good. More than 20 minutes later, the fleet arrived at the fork of Yang River.
Huang Ying took a look and exclaimed: "This is the Yang River. It looks at least three times wider than the Sun River. It must be thousands of meters wide."
"Absolutely. How about it? Do you feel that you are very small?"
"Yes, nature is really amazing." Huang Ying raised her head and looked at Hengshan, "Only when you look up at such a strange peak, you feel how small a person is."
Shi Zhi also looked up at Hengshan Mountain, "What do you think is on the top of the mountain? If you stand on the top of the mountain and look down, it will be really cool."
"When you say that, I want to climb to the top of the mountain." Lin Yan also raised his head, "However, it may not be easy to climb up. At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, on the water side, there are cliffs, making it difficult to climb up. Wait. It’s time, let’s look for it and see if we can climb up from another place.”
The height of Hengshan Mountain can be said to be the highest in this area. If you want to see further and take in the entire land under your feet, it is very necessary to climb to the top.
"Okay, let's climb Hengshan together. Don't leave me behind then." Huang Ying is eager to give it a try.
The boat entered the Yang River and turned around, with Hengshan gradually being left behind.
Feeling the speed of the boat increase, Huang Ying said: "The speed is much faster, and the scenery on the shore is retreating rapidly."
"It must be faster to follow the current. You are not talking nonsense." Shi Zhi said without mercy.
Shuisheng smiled and said, "Huang Ying is just sighing, why should you be serious?"
Lin Yan also said: "Shi Zhi, your mouth is getting more and more poisonous. Do you know that you should consider other people's feelings when you speak?"
Shi Zhi disagreed, "What I said is the truth."
"Having said that, you should be careful when speaking. I think you will be beaten sooner or later for your venomous words."
The others nodded in agreement.
Lin Yan continued: "You see everyone thinks so, you should exercise well."
Huang Ying smiled and said: "Yes, you have a good mind and a vicious mouth, but your body is weak. You will definitely be beaten."
The others all laughed and looked at Shi Zhi up and down.
Not to mention, Shi Zhi did look a little thinner.
