"Add sail propulsion? Wouldn't that make it a sailboat?"
Yu Shengnan immediately understood Yu Gengyao's opinion.
Sailing can indeed achieve freedom of navigation. Yu Shengnan even searched online and found a sentence: "Sailing is the highest level of freedom."
Let’s not care whether this statement is right or wrong, but at least it reflects a truth: owning a sailboat allows you to travel everywhere.
The more Yu Shengnan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Think about it, if you were to embark on a global ocean voyage, what would be most important? Of course, being able to return was paramount!
So how do you get back? You have to have sustained motivation!
What provides continuous power? Oil? Electricity? None. Using natural wind as power is the most reliable, because there is no windless sea.
When Magellan sailed to prove the Earth was round, he used the Victoria, a sailing ship. Of course, they left with only 18 sailors out of the 200, but that wasn't because of the sailing ship.
So, are there sailboats in modern times? Yu Shengnan was surprised to find out.
Because of modern sailboat propulsion, some ships are extremely expensive, such as the Black Pearl.
The Black Pearl is 110 meters long, with a sail area of 3,000 square meters when unfolded, a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, and even enough space on the deck to park an armed helicopter. But seeing the cost of 1.3 billion yuan, well, we're out of luck. We can't afford it!
But when I looked down again, wow, it was different.
In Yu Shengnan's impression, ships for global ocean travel should be very expensive. Even if he had more than 50 million US dollars in his hand, he would not dare to say that he could definitely buy a good ship for travel.
But now his cognition has been refreshed. In the global ocean travel, there are many sailing boats whose prices are not high, and some are even very affordable.
Some ships even cost only as much as a car. Note that we are not talking about the world's top luxury cars here, which cost only 300,000 or 400,000 RMB.
Moreover, Yu Shengnan's boat looked pretty good, with two bedrooms, two toilets, a small living room, and a central driving area. Of course, the boat was not that big, being a monohull sailboat with a length of less than 20 meters. Although it was not big, it was cheap, but it obviously did not meet Yu Sheng's requirements.
"Please choose one for me. Something not too small, one that can carry four or five people—five or six people. A larger one will also be fine. It needs to be equipped with a seawater purification system, fuel and power generation systems. The price is up to you. Anything under $40 million is fine!"
The message Yu Shengnan sent to Yu Gengyao left him stunned.
No, I only knew you were a fighter before, but aren't you just a fishmonger? When did selling fish become so profitable? Meifang's? It's impossible. Official property checks wouldn't allow you to transfer so much money. These aren't prohibited from being checked.
In fact, Yu Shengnan really overlooked a problem, that is, the source of a large amount of unknown funds. If the Ni family still targeted him at this time, they would not even need to use any tricks under the table, but would directly investigate the source of your personal property, which would give Yu Shengnan a headache because this was an obvious loophole.
But we can't help but say that he was lucky. The person he found to buy the boat was Yu Gengyao. Who was Yu Gengyao? His father, Yu Zhengming, was a retired general.
In other words, he retired. If he hadn't, he would have had far more resources than he does now. Of course, it was also because his father retired that Yu Gengyao was able to buy such an expensive ship, and others would not even doubt it. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
After finalizing the purchase of the ship, Yu Shengnan called all the crew members to a meeting. Yes, all of them, including the three crew members who were injured before.
The arm hasn't fully recovered yet, but it doesn't affect them from sitting down for the meeting.
"You are all brothers who have followed me through life and death. Since no one has chosen to retreat, I will leave the days ahead in your hands," Yu Shengnan bowed to everyone, and the audience burst into applause.
"No need for that. We're not bureaucrats. We won't compromise on so many rules. Today's meeting is just one thing. Afterwards, practice your skills and meditate well. Mr. Yao has already taught you all. If you don't understand, just watch the video explanation a few more times. Also, the boxing and kicking techniques I demonstrated to you earlier, everyone can practice them. Don't neglect them."
Yu Shengnan glanced around the room and said, "The punches and kicks I'm teaching you are very valuable things in this world. They're extremely precious, so practice them well and don't pass them on to others casually."
Although the boxing and leg skills of the Huacheng Yu family are not valuable, that is for Yu Shengnan. If she really sells them to an ancient martial arts family or an ordinary political family, she can definitely fetch a sky-high price.
Old man Yu Deshui from the Yu family in Huacheng also demonstrated a kind of kung fu - Qinggong. Unfortunately, Yu Shengnan didn't know it.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to do it at all. He understands it, but his hands and feet can’t complete the movements.
If he couldn't even do it himself, he certainly couldn't teach it to others, so no one knows how to do Qinggong.
"Boss, your son is choking," Wang Qiang stood at the door and saw He Xinran holding Yu Zecheng and Meng Zihan next to him was also helpless and kept patting the child's back. He couldn't help but report it directly.
When Yu Shengnan heard this, she no longer thought about attending the meeting and flew out directly.
You read that right, it’s flying, literally.
Little Yu Zecheng choked on milk. The problem was that the milk didn't come out and he couldn't breathe. His little face turned red. Yu Shengnan came over, but he didn't know what to do.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what to do, he will call for help when he is anxious.
"Mom, Dad, help! Come out quickly and save Yu Zecheng!"
His shout also woke up He Xinran, and he shouted too.
Meng Zihan's brain was working now. Knowing that the room was soundproofed, he rushed directly to Bai Jingjing and Yu Haoran's door and banged on it hard.
Bai Jingjing and Yu Haoran were shocked when they were about to embark on one of the greatest undertakings of mankind.
Fortunately, the two were still wearing their clothes. When they opened the door, they saw Meng Zihan pointing outside and saw the situation at a glance.
Bai Jingjing has done a lot of first aid for children, and their clinic has saved many people, but she didn't expect to save her own grandson this time.
People who know know how to use the Heimlich maneuver, but does Yu Shengnan know it? Of course he knows it, but that is the method used by adults. He wraps his arms around the patient behind his back, then makes a fist with his right hand, holds his right fist with his left hand, and pulls upward and backward. But that is an adult, and his son is still a baby. He can't exert any strength at all. If he really uses force, the child will probably be in trouble.
Bai Jingjing's set of first aid is the standard infant and young child first aid. She bends her left leg, then holds the child on her left leg with one hand, pinches both sides of the child's jaw with her left hand, places her arm on the child's chest, and holds the back of the child's neck with her right hand. She lets the child face down and lie on her knees. With her right hand, she taps downward and inward with the base of her palm between Yu Zecheng's shoulder blades, repeating five times.
During the second cycle, the little guy coughed up a mouthful of white sticky stuff and then started crying loudly.
