Chapter 1183 The sailboat that escaped alone (2 in 1)
Sailboats are relatively heavy.
But because of its size, no matter how heavy it is, it's not that heavy.
After using ropes and wooden poles, it only took six people to carry it all the way to the river with ease.
Han Cheng followed him, looking at the scene in front of him, he thought of something in his heart.
It seems that building sailboats from now on can no longer be done in the carpenter's room.
This kind of small sailboat model was okay, and it was easy for people to lift it. Later, when the big sailboat was built, it was really uncomfortable to lift it outside.
Even if the people in the tribe could try their best to carry it out, the gate in the tribe couldn't accommodate it.
A gate that is too narrow cannot pass through the huge body of the sailboat, and can only be cracked.
Han Cheng didn't want such a thing to happen.
It seems that in the future, I will also consider where to build a shipyard specifically for manufacturing ships.
In this way, not only will it be easier to get the boat into the water after it is built, but it will also free up places such as the carpenter's room in the tribe, allowing the carpenter's room and courtyard to return to their former glory without being too crowded.
Of course, in addition to these, after the shipyard is built, the division of labor among the carpenters in the tribe can also become clearer.
Functions are clearer.
It will help the carpenters in the tribe develop towards specialization and improve the level of carpenters in the tribe.
With these things in mind, Han Cheng followed the others all the way to the tribe's dock.
After working for a while, the tribe's three-masted boat successfully arrived in the water.
The embarrassing thing of starting to seep and sink as soon as it enters the water will not happen. After all, the people in the tribe already have some experience in shipbuilding.
Such low-level mistakes will never be made.
Small sailboats with white sails are particularly conspicuous at the pier.
After all, except for it, the rest here are ordinary flat wooden boats from the tribe.
There are also some bamboo rafts on the side.
Under such circumstances, the sailboat with its three white sails simply stood out from the flock. A donkey wandering among the flock was so conspicuous!
It is true that the sailboat did not leak or sink to the bottom, but there were still some minor accidents.
The wind always blows habitually by the river in the early morning.
The newly built sailboat has just been launched, and the mooring ropes have not yet been tied.
And the sails were still open at this time.
When these conditions were put together, the sailboat that had just been launched ran away quickly before anyone could react.
It left a group of Qingque tribesmen looking at it with surprise and joy on their faces.
Lai et al. still had smiles on their faces.
The sailboat that I and others built looked very successful. As soon as I put it here, it ran away very smoothly without anyone supporting it.
And the speed is not slow.
What the Son of God said was indeed correct, this sailing ship was indeed a good thing.
More than ordinary ships.
Very useful...
Lai and others stood here looking at the sailboat, sighing with satisfaction.
Han Cheng looked at the people with smiles, surprises, or satisfaction on their faces, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch their heads.
What are these operations?
Isn't it time to chase the sailing ship that escaped alone?
It’s okay for you to stand here and be indifferent. How come you are looking at Shangfeng escaping on the sailboat alone, and your face is full of excitement and happiness, as if you have seen the most romantic thing in the world. What does it mean?
Are you stupid? Is this it?
"The sailboat has escaped, chase after it!"
After a while, Han Cheng saw that the people in the tribe were still smiling and indifferent, so he stopped waiting and shouted loudly.
Hearing him shouting like this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that there was no one on the sailboat that was so magical in their eyes that it could swim upstream without anyone rowing it.
It was just an empty ship that ran away.
So, the place became lively the next moment.
Someone jumped on the boat, untied the mooring rope and held it up with a bamboo pole, and quickly chased the sailing ship that yearned for freedom.
Those who are good at water will directly take off their shirts and enter the water.
He paddled quickly towards the fleeing sailboat.
After a while of this, someone successfully boarded the sailboat.
However, the situation did not improve. Those who boarded the sailboat were carried by the sailboat and continued to run forward.
As for the sailboat, there was no time to equip it with things like oars at this time.
After a while of fussing, the three people who climbed onto the sailboat lit the water with the bamboo poles used to support the boat and helped the sailboat turn around.
"Pull harder, it's not easy to paddle downwards against the wind."
After turning the sailboat around, someone said this.
Saying this, he picked up the bamboo penny in his hand and pointed it at the bottom of the river, and started to push the boat vigorously.
The ship followed his movements and sailed forward.
The man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because this boat traveling against the wind is not as heavy as expected, it is even heavier than usual rowing.
When it was propped up, it was very light and without using much strength at all. The ship immediately sailed downwards against the wind, and the speed was very slow.
The man glanced at the other two people on the boat who were holding poles, and felt relieved.
Immediately, he stopped thinking about it and continued to hold the bamboo pole firmly with his hands to push the sailboat downwards.
While he was working hard to punt the boat, he didn't see the surprised expressions that appeared on the faces of the other two people one after another.
With the hard work of several people, the sailboat quickly returned to the dock.
Several people on the boat were all experienced rowers. After the boat was still a certain distance away from the dock, they no longer supported the boat. Instead, they took the pennies in their hands and dragged them on the water.
The tail of Penny slid on the water, dragging a water mark and some waves.
According to previous boating experience, if the boat stops at such a distance from the dock, the boat will slowly slide to the edge of the dock.
However, something unexpected happened this time.
After they stopped punting, the boat continued to head towards the dock despite the wind, but the speed was different than expected.
As it slid forward, although the ship's speed slowed down a bit, it didn't slow down much.
At first, the people on the boat didn't pay much attention to it.
They felt that there were three sails on the ship, which was facing the wind at this time. With them, the speed of the ship would soon slow down.
However, they soon stopped thinking so.
After the sailboat's speed dropped a bit, it stopped falling. It maintained this speed and crashed into the dock.
"Hurry up and hold on!"
Although I feel that this situation is extremely strange, at this time, it is obviously not the time to feel strange about it.
On the sailboat, a man shouted loudly, and he quickly put the bamboo pole behind him upright and thrust it diagonally into the muddy water in front of the boat.
The force carried by the sailing boat bent the bamboo.
The other two people also reacted one after another, inserting the bamboo pennies they held in their hands into the mud in the water, and working together to support the sailboat.
With the joint efforts of these three people, the sailboat stopped about half a meter away from the pier.
Seeing this, several people couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Not only them, but also the people standing on the dock and the shore could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw such a scene.
What just happened does seem a bit scary.
"This is a cable. Tie the boat up to prevent it from running away later."
Lame said this, throwing a rope on the bow of the sailboat, and holding the other end in his hand.
The people on the boat caught the rope and tied the rope to the place reserved above the bow for tying the cable.
At this time, the morning breeze was not coming.
Several people tied the cables and immediately went ashore one by one.
Together with everyone, we looked at the sailboat with some novelty.
It was at this time that a morning breeze struck again.
Looking at the cable that had been firmly tied there, everyone present could not help but feel relieved.
Facing this thick and strong rope, no matter how strong the wind is, there is no way it can blow this sailboat away!
However……
The next moment...
"Bang!"
A sound suddenly came at this time, along with some vibrating touches.
Everyone in the Qingque tribe, who had been full of confidence just now, was a little confused for a moment.
When his eyes fell on the sailboat that had a close contact with the dock, they all seemed stunned.
What's going on?
Why did this collide with the dock?
Their eyes fell on the sail of the ship, which was facing the wind and was blown a little by the wind.
With these sails, shouldn't the sailboat be blown upwards with the wind at this time and the cables straightened?
Just like the sailboat was blown all the way up by the wind just now.
How did this become what it is now?
Not only did he not run backward with the wind, but he directly moved forward against the wind under the blow of the wind?
Are these large sails used as decoration?
The few people who had just supported the sailboat and pushed it down from the top all the way down, faced this situation and felt it more clearly.
When they were punting the boat, they felt something strange. Now when they saw the sailboat docked against the wind and had close contact with the dock, these strange feelings in their hearts suddenly became extremely clear, and they found the root cause!
Han Cheng, who was standing by the side, was a little dazed for a moment.
In his subconscious mind, things like sailboats have always relied on the power of the wind to travel with the wind.
Otherwise, how could there be such blessings as "smooth sailing"?
But what's going on now?
Why did this boat move forward against the wind?
Han Dashenzi, a dabbler from later generations, was a little confused for a moment when faced with the small sailboat built by the tribe under his instruction.
I don't know what the situation is.
Riding the waves?
Riding the wind and waves...
These words suddenly appeared in the confused Han Cheng's mind.
Then, other things related to it also appeared in my mind.
Of course, the things that appeared were not twenty or thirty aunts and sisters who were about the same age as their parents, but some things from the past that he had completely forgotten and had not thought of. At this time, because of the scene he saw in front of him, he was...
Triggered memories.
This memory is related to the sailboat, or to be precise, it is related to the sail.
It is said that when the front of the sail faces the wind, the wind passes through both sides of the sail that bends backward, and then forms a driving force behind the sail. Then relying on this driving force, the ship can move backward.
Going against the wind.
The memory of these things that he had seen somewhere before appeared in his mind, which made Han Cheng suddenly feel relieved.
After deciding to build a sailboat among the tribe, Han Cheng had worried countless times about what the driver of the sailboat should do if he encountered a headwind while sailing.
In this case, the ship will not only be unable to sail forward, but will also start to move backwards.
The situation that appeared in front of him and the things that emerged in his mind immediately cleared up the doubts in his mind.
With these thoughts in mind, Han Cheng couldn't help but look at Lame and the others beside him.
I saw some people involved in the manufacturing of the sailboat. At this time, they had basically turned their attention to Han Cheng, the son of God.
Obviously, he wanted to get some explanation from the Son of God about this counter-intuitive phenomenon.
Seeing this, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Fortunately, I just had a flash of inspiration in my mind and remembered some knowledge about this aspect.
Otherwise, facing the questioning looks of everyone in the tribe, I really don’t know how to answer.
This detracted from the tall and mighty image of the god son of his tribe.
"Son of God, what is going on?"
Sure enough, not long after Han Cheng had this realization in his heart, Lame already asked.
The rest of the people were also eager, looking at Han Cheng with confusion and surprise.
Seeing this, Godson Han couldn't help but stand a little straighter.
Then he spoke confidently.
The small class of the Qingque Tribe’s Son of God has begun.
Han Cheng organized the things he remembered into words, added some of his own understanding, and began to tell the people in the tribe.
After a while, Han Cheng stopped talking, leaving the Qingque tribesmen full of surprise.
This was the first time they heard this theory.
But combined with the facts they just saw and looking at the serious Son of God, they had to believe the correctness of these remarks.
"Son of God, if the people of our tribe go out on such a sailboat, wouldn't they be able to sail forward when the wind blows against them?
Someone said so excitedly.
The eyes of the others also lit up.
"That's it."
Han Dashenzi nodded as if I had everything under control.
There was some confusion on the lame face.
Because he thought of some things that the Son of God once commanded...
