Chapter 40

The entire dock was demolished by these 50 craftsmen in a short period of time.According to them, the dock was built on the scale of a river dock from the very beginning, which could not meet the construction needs of sea-going ships at all.

Even if a boat can be built, it can only satisfy fishing within a distance of less than [-] steps at most. If it is too many, it may become more and more unstable. If there is a slight wave, it is estimated that the boat will capsize.

This kind of statement made Shi Yuan somewhat embarrassed, after all, it was his father Shi Wu who led the construction of this dock.It's just that he still doesn't quite believe the artisan's rhetoric.

But Shi Hui believed that, on the one hand, he believed in the judgment of the system more, and on the other hand, he also knew what a sea-going ship needed to look like.I saw more than a dozen fishing boats on the beach before, all of which are used by rivers, and there are problems with the shape of the boats themselves.

Before nightfall, the entire dock had been completely dismantled, but the craftsmen were still rushing to work overnight. They quickly cut out the wood, then made it into planks, and quickly started laying.The stone is used as the base, cut into qualified stone strips, and then filled with compound soil to tamp the base.

The size of the dock has at least doubled compared to before, and the slope into the sea has even been dug a lot deeper. One can imagine how big this ship is.At this point, even Shi Yuan has to admit that maybe the previous dock was not up to standard.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" At this time, the soldier in charge of night patrol shouted, which attracted Shi Yuan's attention, and Shi Hui woke up directly from his dream, and then quickly rushed towards the front line.

There were more than 100 people, under the cover of night, they quickly harassed the defenders with arrows.Before the archers of the headquarters could counterattack, they had already quickly disappeared into the night and disappeared into the forest.

"How's the situation?" Shi Hui quickly walked over and asked Xue Qiang who was on duty at night.

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they were not able to keep them!" Xue Qiang immediately pleaded guilty.

"They leave as soon as they are touched. It's not surprising that you can't keep them... Are our soldiers injured?" Shi Hui didn't intend to pursue anything, but was only worried about the situation of the soldiers below.

"There are no casualties. They seem to be just trying to harass us and don't intend to fight us!" Xue Qiang shook his head.

"Okay, I got it! Everyone, keep on guarding, and watch out for them coming again!" Shi Hui thought for a while, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.I can only tell everyone to be careful, and then go back.

However, throughout the night, the enemy never appeared again, and the whole attack seemed to be a farce.

"Sir, what happened last night?" Huang Mutian found Shi Hui before dawn and asked him.

"It's nothing, a few Xiaoxiao came to attack, but our people have repelled it. This has been a mess all night, and you didn't know last night?" Shi Hui frowned and looked at Huang Mu.

"Our villagers have also heard the movement, but they are afraid of causing any misunderstanding, so they can't come out at home. If you think it's necessary, we can let them come out to help defend!" Huang Mu said slowly.

"Forget it, since we are in charge of stationing here, then naturally we don't need you to take action. Just take a good rest during this period, and when the shipping is done, we will naturally build offshore fishing boats in a unified way, and you can continue fishing by then!" Hui laughed.

"It's so good, it's so good!" Huang Mu replied with a smile.

However, Shi Hui was keenly aware that after hearing what he said, he was not very happy.How to put it, the main reason is that the smile is a bit fake, very social, not a genuine smile.

Just looking at the size of the dock, it is not difficult to find that the fishing boats built in the future will inevitably be larger than before.This kind of boat can not only go farther, but also have more harvest.He couldn't understand why being here with Huang Mu was not something to be happy about.

"By the way, I heard before that there are some villages of Yue people around, who come to harass you from time to time?" Shi Hui suddenly remembered something. When he first came, Huang Mu did say that.

"That's true. There are many Yue people who are jealous of us. They don't have the ability to build ships, so they always want to occupy our place and take away our shipbuilding technology..." Huang Mu immediately poured out his bitterness.

"Well, we understand that in the short term we will target the surrounding Yue villages as soon as possible!" Shi Hui nodded.

That night, the enemy reappeared and harassed the village again, with a very clear target, which was the dock.At this moment, the dock has been built, and its scale is more than three times that of the previous one.It is hard to imagine that such a large dock was built in only one day, especially a few hours were wasted in dismantling the original dock.

"What kind of boat can we build now?" Shi Hui went directly to the craftsmen and asked them.

"With 50 units of wood, you can build a fishing boat; with 200 units of wood, you can build a troop carrier; with 100 units of wood, you can build a merchant ship. The fishing boat needs 2 fishermen to operate; the troop carrier needs 10 civilians to operate; the merchant ship It needs 5 civilians to operate! Of course, even ordinary people can board the ship, and they can go to sea after a few days of training!" The craftsman replied.

"How is the cycle?" Shi Hui was more concerned about this question.

"For a fishing boat, it only takes an hour to build one immediately. A troop carrier takes three days, and a merchant ship takes one day. However, for a merchant ship to start generating profits, it needs two docks, and a tradeable Commodity," replied the artisan.

As expected of a shipyard that can be built in reality, the setting has indeed changed.First of all, the ship really needs someone to operate it, which can be said to be understandable; secondly, there is no way to generate gold when two different docks shuttle back and forth like a game. It needs commodities and a transaction process to generate profits. No problem either!
What is really valuable is that it is not specified that system civilians can operate it, but ordinary people can also operate it.It just requires a longer training period to operate.This is not a problem at all, Shi Hui thinks it is normal; at the same time, after follow-up understanding, the materials for building ships can be deducted directly from the resource interface, or the wood can be directly transported here, and they are responsible for processing. Shi Hui thinks it is the most valuable change.

After unlocking the function of the dock, Shi Hui immediately ordered Shi Wu to prepare a batch of timber, let alone build a hundred fishing boats first.He even planned to build another dock, but when he built it later, he learned that only one dock was allowed within a certain distance, which was about [-] miles from the coastline, in other words, each dock would be separated by [-] miles.

Only this setting, Shi Hui thinks it is the most redundant, but he has no right to change this setting.

"My lord!" Not long after, Cen Xi ran over, "According to what you said, I asked the soldiers who were watching the night in the village that night. They said that the houses of the common people were almost noisy, so there was no movement inside. In addition , During this period, there was not a single commoner, trying to go out to have a look.”

"It seems that I guessed right! Let the sons get ready and watch a good show tonight!" Shi Hui nodded when he heard the words, and a stern look flashed across his eyes.

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
