Chapter 85 Wei Shengxue: No one knows, so I didn’t cheat

It is of course an exaggeration to decide on the work content today. Even Fusu's memorial cannot be written today.

At least before that, we have to test the quality of the ship first.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak.

There are many inspections to be done before a ship goes out to sea, not to mention that there are several heavyweights traveling with him this time. Xu Sheng was so busy with dark circles under his eyes that he was exhausted.

The ship's carrying capacity is limited, so the things on it should be more rather than less. If they were to go out to sea, they would naturally take as much as they could, but now they only need to take a cruise near the coast, which would be enough for three to five days.

After much deliberation, the ship finally chosen was the Dong Hai, which had already sailed several times in the sea. It was also a new ship, but it already had sailing experience and was less likely to encounter unexpected situations.

The port had been expanded tenfold to accommodate enough ships. In the afternoon, the East China Sea returned to shore with a load of seafood.

The captain skillfully directed the crew to unload the cargo on board, and then the sailors went into the water with tools and began to clean the attachments on the bottom of the ship.

Another team inspected the hull and immediately filled and maintained any cracks with putty and tung oil.

This process of filling the gaps is called caulking. Putty made of a mixture of lime and hemp tendons is repeatedly pounded with tung oil to produce a material with excellent adhesion and waterproof properties. The material is then twisted into the gaps between the wooden boards, greatly improving the waterproofness of the wooden boat.

After all, today's ships are all made of wood, and tung oil is applied to prevent water damage and reduce corrosion from seawater, thereby extending their service life.

"A ship like this is good enough for sea transportation, but it can be destroyed by a wave in the deep sea." Wei Shengxue stood on the shore and looked up at the ship that was three or four stories high.

Xu Sheng stood behind her, looking at the tall ship. With the current shipbuilding technology, it was already considered a relatively large ship. People standing under the boat were as small as ants. They could catch hundreds of kilograms of fish at a time. If they were lucky, they could even catch three or four hundred kilograms.

But in the eyes of the immortals, such a good boat is just a small fishing boat that can be overturned by a wave.

"You don't have to worry. This is sufficient for a short-distance route. By the time we need to sail to the open sea, Daqin will be able to build ships large enough to withstand the wind and waves."

Perhaps the immortal noticed his depression, so for the first time ever he tried to comfort him.

Xu Sheng's ears, does this mean he won't have to worry about feeding the fish at sea for decades?!

"Huh? When did I say we'd wait a few decades before setting sail again?" Wei Shengxue was even more confused than him. "I meant a few years from now. If the Qin Dynasty still can't build a large ship capable of sailing long distances in a few years, you'd better quit and jump into the sea together."

According to this development progress, we should have entered the Yun Dynasty by then. Then exchanging spiritual veins and restarting the cultivation of immortals for all the people will be no problem.

If technology cannot do something, then use the methods of cultivation. If it really cannot be built, then directly call in the equipment refiners to make a flying boat. If the spirit stones are not enough to support it, then let the flying boat float in the water. Since we are all cultivating immortals, there is always a way to make the big boat run.

She had a good idea, but unfortunately Xu Sheng didn't know the inside story. To him, these words sounded like a blatant threat:

If you can’t build a big ship within a few years, I will kill you all!

I broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

Xu Sheng: If time could go back, I would definitely stay safe and never go near the First Emperor!

The sword hanging around my neck today is all caused by my greed!

Fortunately, this little incident did not affect the ship's preparations for the trip.

When Fusu heard this, he ran over and asked, "These ships can't travel far, so do I still need to submit a memorial to the emperor regarding naval training?"

Wei Shengxue nodded, "Of course. Ordinary naval forces need a lot of time to train, let alone the navy."

When the time comes to get on the boat, you can't let a seasick landlubber get on. That would be like the person in the story of the mother planet who was tied to the boat by iron chains and then burned to ashes by fire.

…

A few days later, the weather was sunny and windy, perfect for going out to sea.

Wei Shengxue and his party boarded the Donghai and set sail.

As the coastline gradually receded, everyone who saw the sea view for the first time was extremely excited. Even the most worrying problem of seasickness was solved with the help of an anti-seasickness pill.

Wei Shengxue found an empty deck and stood there, lying on the side of the ship with her hands folded.

The azure sea is quiet and gentle, without any sign of the turbulent waves during a storm. It is like a piece of azure jade, almost merging with the azure sky.

The seagull was circling, its big eyes staring at the sea motionlessly. Suddenly, it dived down. Its gray figure disappeared from the water for a moment and then quickly reappeared. The sea water slid down, and its sharp claws had already caught a fat sea fish. Streams of new blood mixed into the falling sea water, washing out a light pink color.

Wei Shengxue was fascinated by what she saw. She was enveloped by the long-lost tranquility. The excited screams behind her became background noise. She didn't even notice that someone was talking to her. She felt as if she was in an infinite wilderness, with the wind whistling in her ears and a desolate scene in front of her.

The Dong Hai sailed in the sea for half a day. After enjoying the sea view for a while, a few people came over with a few fishing rods, put on bait and started sea fishing.

Behind him was Xu Sheng, who looked helpless.

How can you possibly catch fish if the boat is constantly moving forward? Even if you want to fish, you have to stop the boat first!

Half an hour passed...

An hour passed...

The meal time had passed, but a few people who were convinced that they could catch fish refused to eat.

The fishing line that had been hanging for a long time was pushed by the waves when the ship was sailing, and it shook like a willow branch in the wind.

"Haven't you caught anything yet?" Weishengxue also came over to join in the fun. She took a fishing rod from the crew member, without even putting bait on it. She simply wiped it with her hand, wrapped it with a few strands of spiritual power, and threw it into the water.

"I must be the first one to catch the fish!" Relying on her spiritual power to cheat, she challenged confidently.

Half an hour passed...

An hour passed...

Wei Shengxue:???

This is not the river!

Spiritual power has such a strong attraction to living things. How can an animal like fish, which survives by instinct, resist the temptation of spiritual power!

There must be a big problem that she is not aware of.

People were watching her from behind and beside her. She had already said it, and it would be embarrassing if she didn't catch any fish.

"Tong'er, why aren't my fish biting?" "That's spiritual power! Spiritual power!"

The system, which was obsessed with watching TV series, gave her a glance: [Will your fish swim upstream when the dam is opened?]

What's the meaning?

The waves are so big that the fish can't get close.

Wei Shengxue: ...

She grabbed the system, which had retreated to watch the drama, and said in a tone that was almost flattering: "System, the most powerful and almighty system, the good system who is about to be promoted and given a raise, your host has something to ask for your help, and it is absolutely necessary for you to do it."

The system, flattered by her praise, made a bold statement: "Tell me what you want to do. Nothing can stump this system!"

Wei Shengxue pinched her throat and praised it a few more times, then pointed into the water and said, "Go catch a fish and put it on my hook."

system:? ? ?

When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem!

How can a mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees utter such cold words?!

Is it possible for a human being to come up with such a thing that is so immoral?

ah? !

Wei Shengxue couldn't stop the system from going berserk, and could only see it hiding in a small dark room.

This is the first time I heard that the small dark room for confinement can be used to hide from the host.

The off-field assistance is gone, but at least we know the reason why we can't catch any fish.

Wei Shengxue shook her sleeves and, while tidying up her clothes, threw a seed into the water. Under the control of her spiritual power, the seed grew rapidly and spread on the seabed. With the help of her spreading spiritual consciousness, she accurately caught a fish that had no time to escape.

Entangled, dragged back, and hung on the hook.

Okay, the fish is hooked!

Wei Shengxue raised his fishing rod, and a fish half a man's height broke out of the water.

Snap!

Fell on the deck.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Several inland kids threw down their fishing rods, jumped up and surrounded the big fish.

Xu Sheng and others, who grew up with him, watched this scene with their eyes almost popping out of the window.

In this river?

This is not the river!

Is it possible for a human to catch fish on a fast-moving boat?

Oh, she is not human.

That's okay.

Wei Shengxue put down the fishing rod in a pretentious manner, lightly flicked her robe, and smiled reservedly: "It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Stop the boat," she told Xu Sheng, and then said to the people who were near the big fish, "Lay down your nets later. Use my bait and you'll definitely catch some fish."
