Chapter 414 Giant Ship

   In case any strange big fish emerges from the deep water, it is good to be prepared.

  The boat was swaying, the water was rushing, the birds were singing loudly, Mu Qingli raised his head, this culvert is really big, not only the hole is big, but it seems to be bigger inside.

   is unbelievably wide.

  Although the light is dim, you can still see that on the high and uneven wall of the cave, there are countless sea swallows' nests hanging densely, and countless sea swallows chirping and flying around, foraging to feed the small sea swallows in the nest.

   It's just that there is no land in this culvert to rest on, so Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen can only continue to row boats inside.

   After about two quarters of an hour, the light became darker and darker, and only the outlines on both sides could be vaguely seen.

   But the two did not use flashlights for fear that the light would attract any fish on the bottom.

   "The ink cloud is deep, do you think that when you get here, the water flow has slowed down a lot, and it seems to be a little shallower than outside?"

   Mo Yun said with a deep smile: "I can't feel the depth, but the water has indeed slowed down. Madam, shall we continue?"

   "That's natural," Mu Qingli nodded without thinking, and said with a smile, "I don't believe it, there's no place to find a place for such a big culvert?"

   As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingli's brows jumped, "Huh" and he said to Mo Yunshen: "Look ahead? What is that?"

   "Ahead? There's nothing?" Mo Yunshen looked forward and saw a piece of blackness. It should be a cave wall, right? Instead, he vaguely glanced at what seemed to be a place to stay in front of him, and said with a smile: "Going forward, you can go ashore!"

   "I'm not talking about that," Mu Qingli's voice was cautiously nervous, expectant, and excited. She stopped the rubber boat, took out a flashlight from the space, turned it on, and shot forward—

With this bright light, the situation in the distance can be clearly seen, and both of them are dizzy and blank. After a while, Mo Yunshen exclaimed: "Ship! It's a ship! Oh my god, so A big ship! There is a ship here!"

  Mu Qingli was also overjoyed. It turned out that his feelings were not wrong. The black front that was almost mixed with the mountain was a huge ship! It's just that the distance is too far and the light is too dim, so I can't see clearly.

   "Let's go quickly!" Mu Qingli said hurriedly.

   "Okay, lady!"

   Both of them were excited and rowed the rubber dinghy together, towards the huge boat.

When they came to the front, the two discovered that the huge ship was stranded here. The water depth here seems to be not as deep as the water channel in front. It may also be because of the sedimentation of silt in the later stage. Time is definitely not short.

   And the wide waterway has come to an end here, and there are still waterways going forward, but the area has indeed shrunk by more than half. It is impossible for such a huge ship to drive forward.

   The two stood in the rubber boat and looked up. The boat was very, very huge, three stories high, but they were also ten meters high from the lowest deck.

  Mo Yunshen threw the flying claw cable in his hand upward, and the iron claw hooked on the side of the ship.

   pulled the rope, it felt quite firm, Mo Yunshen smiled and said: "Miss, let's go up and have a look."

   Mu Qingli nodded and smiled: "You go up first, I'll come after I collect the rubber boat."

  Mo Yun said goodbye deeply and climbed up by the rope.

   Mu Qingli followed.

  Standing on the huge deck, stomping hard, the deck is very strong. The two people ran around and looked at it again, and they were all solid and not at all rotten.

Mu Qingli was lying on the deck and lit up with a flashlight, and smiled: "This is made of ebony wood, I am afraid there are no less than dozens of tung oil varnishes on the surface, even if it has been exposed to wind and rain for hundreds of years, there will be no problem. No wonder it's so solid."

  Mo Yunshen was also overjoyed and said with a smile: "It seems that the material used for the bottom of the boat must be stronger! Madam, with this boat, we can leave here!"

   Mu Qingli's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't help looking at Mo Yunshen: "Are you sure? Are you really willing to risk going out to sea? If you don't go back, it will be worse than staying here."

   Mo Yun smiled deeply and said, "With this boat, there is still room for a lady, I don't think we have anything to be afraid of."

   Mu Qingli laughed, nodded and smiled: "That's true! It's just—those villagers..."

  Mo Yun looked at the boat deeply. The boat was undoubtedly huge, but the total population of the upper and lower villages was more than 6,000. Although this boat would not be overloaded with so many people, it was definitely crowded.

   Not only is it crowded, I’m afraid it will be too crowded.

   That is not suitable for long voyages.

   But when that time comes, it’s hard to say who will be left behind, so it has to be a little harder.

According to him, it is more suitable for this boat to carry 2,500 to 600 people, and 4,000 people are barely enough, but it takes 6,000 people to load, plus food, clothing, housing, transportation, and food storage, even if there is room for Mu Qingli , that is also a very headache.

   "If we can, we can build two smaller boats to follow. There is a lot of good wood in the sky. It's the technology of this boat building..."

Mu Qingli raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's a good idea, I think it's good. Don't we have carpenters in our village? I think Uncle Qin's craftsmanship is very good. Isn't there a ready-made big boat? Let him think about it. , research and research, maybe we can create one.”

   You don't need to make such a big one, as long as it is strong enough to make do.

   Anyway, sailing first, it’s really not good, the big deal is that everyone is crowded on the big ship.

   The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they suddenly felt relieved.

   "Come on, let's go in the cabin and see what's inside!" Mu Qingli waved, took out another flashlight from the space, and entered the cabin one after another with Mo Yunshen.

  The cabin was covered with a thick layer of dust, cobwebs intertwined, and many places were quite messy.

  The two walked around, all of which were ordinary household utensils.

   The two of them were not very interested in these things, so they continued shopping.

   In a camphor wood box in the captain's room, they found two thick logbooks, nautical charts, ship structure diagrams, etc. The two couldn't help but be ecstatic.

   In this way, we really have no worries. With these things, there is no doubt that there will be a beacon to guide the way, and the ship structure diagram is there, and it is not a problem to build one or two new ships.

   Mu Qingli put these things into the space without hesitation, and left them to go back and look at them slowly.

  Going down to the cabin, there are only some empty wooden barrels and empty boxes in the storage room. The food is long gone. There are several bags of rice, but all of them are moldy and deteriorated, making it impossible to eat.
