After the frame plate is erected, the longitudinal frame and keel need to be installed. After the hull structure is strengthened, the hull lining plate is encapsulated. The liner was brushed with waterproof tung oil and left to dry for two days, and then the surface was evenly coated with adhesive.
White pillow threw himself into the great shipbuilding business almost without sleep. Although he almost lost control a few times due to Hua Mu's insistent help, he was deftly resolved by Hua Mu.
The basic principle of the battle between guides and sentries is to keep a distance. Although the spirits of sentinels occasionally have rare skills such as long-range attacks, most of the time they still use the ability to rely on.
Once the distance is drawn, the guide will use the method of mental attack to influence and interfere with the movement of the sentinel. At this time, the sentinel needs the help of the comrade-in-arms guide. The self-guided guide deploys a barrier to defend against the enemy's guide interference, but also needs to cause interference to the enemy's sentinel. This is the basic mode of sentinel-guided combat.
The more people in the team, the richer the fighting methods. If the sentinel meets the guide alone, in addition to the ability level, distance and speed will become the key factors in determining victory or defeat.
Most of the time, the reason why guides lose to sentinels is that their senses and physical qualities are not as good as sentinels, and they are often detected before the enemy is detected. In situations where Sentinels are preemptive, it is generally difficult for guides to get rid of them.
Of course, this is not an absolute situation. If the guide has special skills for distance - such as Luna's flying, or other rare counter-attack skills, there are many times when the Sentinel can't kill with one hit, there is still room for a comeback.
The biggest reason Huamu can resolve the loss of control of the white pillow is the opponent's hesitation and Luna's flying ability, but Hati's ice ray is a rare long-range attack, if it is not because it still retains the consciousness of the sentinel's spiritual body, it can't deal with itself. His partner made a heavy hand, and it was definitely not so easy for Hua Mu to deal with it.
A month passed without any risk, and the construction of the ship came to an end. Building the cabin, laying the armor plate, making the mast and truss arms, installing the cockpit scupper and side rails, welding the keel steel structure, etc., etc., and so on, the White Pillow was roughly completed within a month by only one person. .
Finally, the installation of equipment and components, front and rear fences, rudder, movable rigging, kitchen utensils and toilet installation. Because it was impossible to cover the hull with composite fiberglass, White Pillow had to paint the entire hull with tung oil and adhesive.
The canvas is made of rainproof cloth. Hua Mu helped a lot in this matter, and the white pillow almost lost control several times.
The completion of the hull does not mean success, the real test comes next. Although many simulation tests have been done, and Xiaohua has also checked the overall structure once, White Pillow still has a lot of worries about the finished product for the first time.
If the sea trials are unsuccessful, then rework will probably take more time than construction.
With a 12-meter-long behemoth, Hua Mu couldn't believe that this was the result of two people. Although the difficulty of construction was reduced due to the use of wood for the hull, the amount of engineering was also increased.
Looking at the beautiful wood grain on the hull, the brand-new mast and the majestic bow decoration - a rust-spotted leopard cat, Hua Mu couldn't help feeling a little proud. Although she can't bring back the buildings on the island, at least she must drive this ship home as a souvenir.
Hua Mu also gave it a name, called Little White Flower Breaking Waves.
"Miss, please stay away."
Today is the day when the Wave Breaker was launched. The two chose to cut off some of the supports under the bow at high tide in the evening, allowing the Wave Breaker to slowly slide into the sea along the sloping wooden frame.
Although the depth of the water has been calculated, there are still some thrilling scenes when the boat slides to the bottom. To get the sailboat into the water, White Pillow had to pull the bow with a rope. When the bow of the boat was about to enter the water, the sentinel's figure was still in the water. Seeing that he was about to dodge in time, Hua Mu almost fainted in fright. Only at this moment did she realize the mood of the white pillow.
The sentinel was very skilled in the end, and nimbly escaped. The sailboat finally entered the sea smoothly, but the huge waves provoked by it smashed Hua Mu who was standing by the sea to the side.
"Miss!"
As soon as Hua Mu heard Bai Zhen's terrified cry, her scalp went numb, and she quickly summoned Luna, turned over and rode on it, and flew far into the sky.
"Miss!"
Hua Mu looked down at the white pillow and saw that although she was nervous, her behavior was normal. She asked in the air, "You won't attack me suddenly, will you?"
Bai Zhen said anxiously: "I, I won't, Miss, come down quickly."
Even though Hua Mu seemed to have overcome her fear of heights well, White Pillow was still frightened by the fact that she was flying in the sky.
Hua Mu observed it carefully for a while, and saw that she really didn't act more radically than worrying, and then she slowly landed on the plywood of the sailboat.
"Wow, the view is very good!"
Hua Mu leaned on the wooden fence and looked out at the sea in the distance. The sea breeze blew her long golden hair into the air. As soon as the white pillow climbed onto the sailboat, she saw Hua Mu's posture, almost rushed behind her and hugged her tightly.
"Wow!"
"Miss!"
The sentry buried his head deep in Hua Mu's neck, sucking her scent as if to confirm her existence.
Hua Mu didn't struggle, she held Bai Zhen's arm with her backhand. She really didn't hate this kind of intimacy, rather, more would be better. The recent events actually made her a little nervous, only today, she didn't want to think about anything except getting close to the white pillow.
"I'm fine, aren't I fine?"
While holding her away from the edge of the boat, White Pillow whispered, "Don't make me worry, don't do dangerous things..."
Hua Mu turned around, rarely comforting the sentry.
"I know, I know." She kissed White Pillow's pale lips, stroking her shoulders, which had gradually lost weight this month, "I have nothing to do? Don't worry about me."
The sentry was kissed and whimpered, and the ice wolf quickly showed its shape. Hua Mu saw its figure in the corner of her light, and she summoned Luna with a thought.
As soon as the unicorn appeared, it wagged its tail and pressed the white wolf under it, even licking those unvented madness without a trace.
Hua Mu couldn't help being a little interested when she heard the low grunts from the two spiritual bodies. Today is such a happy day, even if it crosses the Thunder Pond a little, it should be forgiven, right
After all, the life and death of the journey after that is uncertain, so what does it matter if you indulge today
"Eldest, eldest lady..." White pillow was crushed on the deck with a red face and red ears. I don't know if it was because of the influence of power or because of the same thoughts as Hua Mu. She didn't have the slightest resistance, and only refused with a very weak voice. ,"That does not work."
If it really doesn't work, just push it away, so this must be just duplicity.
The eldest consciously understood the sentinel's meaning, licked her soft cherry-colored lips, and said in a voice, "Is it possible? Today... After all, no one can predict what will happen next. The estuary is very close to here, we can Go take a shower over there."
Bai Zhen saw the dazzling sunlight behind Hua Mu, and after a while of dizziness, he could no longer think about anything.
The first trial sailing of the sailboat went very smoothly, and there were no major problems with stability, water resistance and rudder accuracy. But the duo also quickly discovered a terrible fact: The island is surrounded by reefs, and only a few places offer boat navigation. As a dark port exit, the east coast happens to be a place where the sea route is unimpeded. But the sailboat was not powered enough to break through the undercurrents around the island.
Under the combined action of wind current and density current, the seawater on the east coast forms a strong opposite-island current, which cannot be passed by only the propellers modified by the small motors in the ventilation system. And if the sailboat must zigzag with the help of the sea breeze, it is likely to hit the reef - the wreckage of the ship around the island is a lesson for the two of them.
While searching for the path out of the island, the two carried the supplies onto the sailboat.
The cabin is located at the front of the sailboat. The cabin below the deck and the room above the deck have two floors. The area is more than enough for two people. The largest space except the lounge, the bathroom and the kitchen is the storage room.
More than 100 kilograms of dried meat, 20 kilograms of dried fish, 50 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables, 20 kilograms of palm soft oil, 60 kilograms of charcoal, spices, herbs and other miscellaneous daily necessities filled the entire storage room.
The diving cabin is towed to the back of the sailboat and used as a lifeboat when necessary.
Fresh water is mainly stored in the second half of the hull, and the storage tanks, pumping system, and electrical system are all found from the base inventory or simply removed from the facility.
The two tried to live on the boat for a few days, because the stability of the boat is not as good as that of modern boats, and Hua Mu was slightly seasick at the beginning. However, because it was near the island and the waves were not big, she quickly adapted to it.
Before I knew it, it was the end of April, and it had been more than a year since the two of them landed on the island. When it came time to part, Hua Mu felt a little reluctant to part. When I first landed on the island, it was really unacceptable, and there were very difficult times in the middle. To be honest, this time was the happiest time for her in recent years. The future of the voyage to the island this time is uncertain, and if you are unlucky, you may die in the belly of the fish. Even if he returns to the Empire safely, he probably won't have the chance to come back to this island in the future.
One of the things that Hua Mu is most afraid of is separation, especially a separation that will never be seen again. Although she was still young when her mother died, the grief is still fresh in her memory.
She cherishes the little things about the island and White Pillow, and when the two of them solve the final problem—the boat is built, she doesn’t think it will bother White Pillow for long—it’s time to actually say goodbye.
She was reluctant to build the home that the two of them built together, the herbs she planted herself, and the food reserves or even Helena.
