The Cursed Ship

Chapter 64: Return to the island for transformation

Views:

Materials were piled up on the bow and the cabin, and Zheng Yang sent some of them below the deck.

Taking advantage of the southwest wind, Zheng Yang set sail, using all four wheels, and headed for the original island.

After leaving the port, Zheng Yang increased the speed of the spirit ship to nearly 17 knots. At this rate, he could be back on the island in four hours.

The balsa wood there and the steel on the sunken ship are waiting for Zheng Yang to go back and develop them.

When Zheng Yang returned to the back of the island according to the navigation, it was already dark for an hour.

Returning to his hometown, Zheng Yang didn't have much feeling in his heart. After all, he is not a real local, and he only lived on this small island for two months.

Early the next morning, Zheng Yang used a net to temporarily net the fish in the fish warehouse by the sea, put the spirit boat into the subspace, and then started to wreak havoc on the forest with a chainsaw.

He specially selected those balsa logs with a height of more than 15 meters. Of course, the diameter of logs of this height is not only thicker than the mouth of a bowl, but generally reaches a diameter of 30 to 40 centimeters. When they are applied to the spirit ship, they will be shrunk and shaped to become more symmetrical and slender under the treatment of the mysterious power of the magic circle.

Remove the canopy, and the usable trunk is about 14 meters.

This time, Zheng Yang needed 128 large logs, a very scary number.

So Zheng Yang started logging, trimming, and dragging the wood to the seaside from dawn.

With the chainsaw, all these tasks became easier. He cut off the branches and the crown with one saw at the root, and he could handle a tree trunk in less than ten minutes.

From early dry to dark, more than fifty log trunks have been piled up by the sea. Fortunately, the population of the island is less than 100 people, and the place is remote, so no one would come here, so no one noticed Zheng Yang's behavior.

After dark, Zheng Yang went back to his home in a small fishing village without anyone noticing, put some usable items into the spirit boat, and discarded the rest.

With the teleportation spell, when the spirit ship is in the subspace, it does not affect Zheng Yang's taking or storing items from the ship.

On the second day, Zheng Yang worked hard for another whole day and obtained more than forty logs.

On the third day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the number of logs was finally enough.

Zheng Yang summoned the spirit ship, used spiritual energy to bless the tractor, and dragged the sunken ship to the shore little by little, with most of the rusty hull sticking out of the water.

This time the spiritual energy reserves are large and full, Zheng Yang decided to do it in one step.

The thick logs dried and shrunk under the light of the magic circle, and after becoming slender and well-proportioned, they were added to the construction of the spirit boat.

Their density is changed, the keel structure becomes dense and heavy, and integrated with steel, while the hull structure maintains the characteristics of balsa wood, but it is still directly composed of logs and steel formed by reducing the diameter of each tree. .

Even the deck is directly paved with slender logs, and the joints are filled with wedge-shaped wood.

Following a burst of disintegration and reorganization, first the hull with a length of 13.5 meters and a main body width of 4.2 meters was formed, and then two 16-meter-long masts towered up, and two layers of cabins began to be built on the deck.

From deck guardrails to cabins, log sofas, tatami beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, bar counters...all are generated one by one by the automatic transformation capability of Lingchuan according to the predetermined plan. The original equipment and facilities have also been refitted in place according to the predetermined plan.

Under the mysterious power of the magic circle, everything went on in an incomparably magical way. And during the transformation process, the items on the ship are fixed by the power of the magic circle, so that they will not fall into the sea.

After about an hour, the transformation was completed, and the spirit boat changed drastically.

The bow of the boat is no longer pointed, it is a flat head with a wide head of 2 meters.

Inspired by the double-headed poisonous python, Zheng Yang designed the bow in the shape of a double-headed dragon—the prow wood on both sides is the woodcarving image of a dragon head, and when it extends down to the waterline, it meets and becomes one. The shape of the keel on the bottom of the ship, with the head held high, carries the hull to cut through the waves.

The main body of the cabin on the deck is 2.5 meters high, 8.5 meters long and 4 meters wide, leaving a 4-meter activity area on the front deck and a 1-meter fishing area on the stern balcony. There are no shipboard passages on both sides.

In the cabin, the area of about 6 x 4 meters in front of the first floor is the living room, with a log sofa, a table, and a small bar. Behind the bar is a staircase leading to the corridor on the second floor. The area behind the stairs to the aft balcony is the washroom, and the open kitchen is opposite.

The second floor is divided into three rooms: the front, the middle, and the back. The front is the driver's cab, the middle is Zheng Yang's bedroom, and the back is the guest room. There is a meter-wide corridor on the left, connecting the door of the wheelhouse to the stern.

Except for some planned home appliances that are not yet in place, the whole boat has met the standard for check-in with bags.

Zheng Yang tidied up the arrangement of items, and raised a deck at the stairway, exposing the ladder below. He pressed the switch next to him, and the lights in the bottom cabin came on, and then he climbed down the ladder.

The bilge is a dense keel structure.

There are also many pulley blocks, motors, connecting rods, pipelines, etc., but these are distributed in corners or edges, together with the battery pack and the stern tractor, oar hanger, fresh water tank, anchor and sail storage at the bow, fish storage, etc. They were all sealed up by Zheng Yang. What he came in to experience now was a relatively square space specially reserved for use as a warehouse, and he had to move with his waist bent.

After experiencing it for a while, Zheng Yang climbed out of the hold and appeared on the roof of the cabin.

The roof is covered with original solar panels.

The two masts at the front and rear reach the bottom of the ship and are connected to the keel structure. The part of them that exceeds the height of the roof is 10 meters long.

Both masts are equipped with huge triangular sails, together with the bowsail, they can not only provide wind power, but are also fully covered by spiritual sail sub-arrays, which can collect and transform lightning spiritual energy.

"After the transformation in one step this time, the covering power of the magic circle is almost exhausted, and it can probably cover a few more sets of batteries and a few home appliances."

"Next time you want to expand the hull, you have to evolve to a third-level spirit ship!"

Zheng Yang took a closer look at the situation of the spirit ship, and then appeared in the driver's cab.

With the teleportation spell, he can appear anywhere within the reach of the spirit boat circle.

At this time, there were more than 100 points of psionic energy reserves, Zheng Yang used his psionic energy to drive the boat away from the shore, and then raised the sails to return.

As long as there is no big storm, Yiling Ship's current size is enough to sail around the world.

"The lightning energy on the sea surface is very rich. Just by collecting and transforming the two triangle sails, it can maintain the current consumption driven by psionic energy. The lightning pattern no longer plunders the power in the battery."

"However, it is still necessary to install three sets of batteries to expand the area of the solar panels, so as to have sufficient backup supply in case of a sudden large consumption of spiritual energy. In addition, satellite TV, radio communication, stereo, washing machine, freezer and other electrical appliances will be added in the future. Even building a small cold store in the bilge, the electricity consumption will increase dramatically.”

Zheng Yang stood in the spacious and bright cab, looking at the sea ahead, thinking about how to make money.

The current cockpit is not a simple console like the one at the head of the sofa bed before, with a width of 4 meters from left to right and 2 meters from front to back, with a half-person-height steering wheel and many buttons in the middle. A circle of large glass windows provides a wide view and a comfortable space.
