The rafts were all piled together, which was quite high. There were more than thirty in total. If it hadn't been for the encounter with Dimai Rong, there would have been more than fifty rafts in total.

The stacked rafts emit a burst of green light under the star's light. The green on the surface of the rafts made on the spot has not faded, giving people a very fresh feeling.

Ye Qiong looked at these wooden sails and fell into deep thought.

Now that the materials are available, what to do next is a matter of design and construction.

And one thing that is more important is that there are more than 300 people.

Not to mention the supplies and food that have been hoarded these days, with more than 300 people, the load requirements for this ship are very high.

Even if it is divided into ten small boats, each carrying thirty people, the displacement requirements for such small boats are still quite high.

Ye Qiong looked at the wooden sail in front of him and decisively gave up manning it first.

Instead it was decided to use these rafts to carry cargo.

In this case, it would be much simpler. The water surface carries the load and the soldiers can move forward on the ground.

After all, there were only so many people, not counting the Snowy Demonic Wolf and the three magical beasts.

If you really want to calculate it, the displacement of ships required by just three of them, Daidai and Dajun, is staggering.

After all, the amount of gravity required by the ship will displace as much water, that is, the space as it sinks below the surface of the water.

Ye Qiong found an open space and started drawing directly on the ground. After a while, a simple model appeared on the ground.

Calling several captain-level warriors and tribesmen over, Ye Qiong gave them a brief explanation based on the drawings on the ground.

Several captains nodded to express their understanding...

Although Ye Qiong suspected that they would forget it soon.

But I couldn't say it out loud, so I could only help myself later while the supervisor came to do it.

Following Ye Qiong's instructions, several captains confidently began to lead their soldiers and tribesmen, and gradually became busy.

Using water to haul supplies was a common thing millions of years ago when the human race was at its peak, but today, it has no practical significance for some small and medium tribes.

After all, they have to migrate. Inland tribes face dry or frozen rivers in winter. In summer, they face rivers that don’t know where they flow. Therefore, there is no way to transport water. Talked about.

After several captains got busy with the soldiers and tribesmen, Ye Qiong started to give instructions from the side.

After an afternoon of hard work, more than 30 rafts, together with newly cut wood, were built with two raft bases covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters. The bottom is two rafts stacked on top of each other. A row of wooden stakes was tied across the top.

The wooden piles above and the raft below are at ninety degrees.

After the base was completed, Ye Qiong began to arrange for the soldiers to spread a layer of linen cloth on the top.

After finishing it, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to find clay soil nearby.

After the clay soil is recovered, waterproofing of the baseboard can be carried out.

Two base plates of about 100 square meters will become two ships when completed.

These two ships are also very commemorative to the Ye Qiong tribe, laying the first step for the advent of the tribe's maritime era.

At night, the soldiers lived up to expectations and pulled a cart of clay soil back.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiong led the soldiers and began to use sticky soil as the base material to make materials for painting the wood surface.

The mixture of sticky soil and the grease heated by Warcraft can have a very good waterproofing effect after cooling.

Some tribes on Snow Star use this mixed material to roof their wooden houses in the summer.

After the materials were obtained, the soldiers began to arrange for painting, once every three hours.

A total of five brushings were needed, and the day passed like this.

However, within this day, in addition to applying sticky soil, the soldiers had already surrounded the base plate with wooden stakes according to the drawings drawn by Ye Qiong on the ground.

Based on the current amount of wood, we can only build a simple cabin, which cannot be capped. When we get to the canyon base, Ye Qiong really wants to continue to expand and build these two ships. The kind that can protect you from wind and rain.

At noon the next day, Ye Qiong looked at the two big guys in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, finally getting it done.

Ye Qiong greeted the soldiers excitedly and began to load the two ships with the supplies and food collected recently.

Two 100-square-meter boats, plus a dozen horse-drawn carriages, could just load the materials collected by the soldiers these days, as well as all the pieces of meat.

In fact, if you squeeze a little more, you can still fit in more, but it's a pity...

A lot of the flesh of the Lielin Weasel was swallowed up by the earth veins that jumped out in the middle.

Anyway, Ye Qiong has this revenge in his heart, and it will not be too late to take revenge in the future.

After all, the meat of those Lielin Weasels was obtained by the soldiers, Ye Qiong's brothers and sisters, in exchange for their lives.

This account must be settled!

But Ye Qiong is not in a hurry, after all, he is not sure now...

The years are still going on, and looking at the size of that guy, you can tell that he belongs to the overlord in this area, and he will definitely not die in a while.

After the soldiers loaded up all the supplies and meat, the rest was up to Dajun and Dakui.

Originally, Ye Qiong didn't expect the soldiers to do such physical work...

There are two strong and heavy beasts, so they must be used in vain.

However, the soldiers were not too embarrassed to let the two pull alone, so they stood in a circle around the boat.

Therefore, Dajun and Dakui each carried a string of hemp rope as thick as an adult's arm, pulling it in front, while the soldiers pushed it forward for a while.

After all, they are both fully capable of pulling.

Daidai was free at this moment, and Ye Qiong rode directly on his back.

All the tribesmen began to move down the canyon together.

After arriving at the canyon, Ye Qiong had already asked the soldiers to prepare a downhill place in advance, similar to a small port, where the boat could be directly pushed into the water.

Within the tribe, when migrating in the past, we would occasionally encounter lakes, small rivers, and the like.

Therefore, many warriors actually have good water properties. Ye Qiong selected some warriors with good water properties.

There are twenty people in total, ten on each ship, responsible for dealing with various emergencies on the ship.

Because the canyon base is downstream, the boat does not need paddles at this time and can just float downward with the current.

However, in such deep waters, it is still possible to encounter some amphibian monsters on the road, so the soldiers are fully armed after getting on the boat.

A fifty-meter-long hemp rope was left on both sides of the ship. Although it was completely possible to drift, Ye Qiong still got ten oars out.

There is no need to teach this thing. Soldiers can use it directly after they get it.

After the two boats entered the water, Ye Qiong did not let Dajun and Dakui let go of the hemp ropes in their hands, but continued to hold them to prevent the boats from drifting too fast.

The team began to move forward along the canyon, and the speed of the water was not very fast. The warriors who were unable to do so could easily catch up.

Now all the heavy objects are on the boats and carriages, so the team is moving very fast overall.

After leaving the rubble pile base, Ye Qiong and the dull figure were at the back of the team. Ye Qiong looked back and saw that there were already some large-scale bases here, and then looked in the northeast direction. After staring for a while, , then turned his head and patted Daidai's head gently, indicating that Daidai could speed up a bit...
