: One hundred and eighty-two, the sand boat set sail

Lower August.

After about April, there was good news from the shipyard in White Wolf Town. The first sand boat with experimental nature was successfully assembled, and it was ready to be launched at noon.

The two boat builders are experienced, and with Geralt's detailed drawings, the sand boat is indeed completed with sufficient materials and manpower, but the two boat builders have never built such a boat before. It looks like a boat, so everything has to wait until the boat is launched to know the result.

Geralt, who received the news, has arrived at the shipyard. The shipyard is located at the end of the river island, downstream of the White Wolf Bridge. More than half of the shipyard's buildings are on the river, and the built sand boat is behind the launching port. On the ground, I will use some round logs to make a pulley later to let the sand boat into the water.

"Sir." "Sir."

The people in the shipyard greeted Geralt one by one. In addition to the dozen or so apprentices brought by the two boatmen, White Wolf Town also gathered a group of people who followed the two apprentices. Not only that, but the shipyard was also an apprentice. For the recruitment positions open to White Wolf Town, some chores will be handled by ordinary workers who apply for the job.

Geralt bowed his head back, and the two boatmen had already taken their apprentices on the deck of the sand boat to do the final treatment.

The sand boat was brand new. Except for a layer of waterproof paint, it did not have any beautification, nor did it have any identification marks. Geralt patiently waited in the shipyard for the final work of the two boatmen on the sand boat. About one more When I was a child, the last little work was done, and the two boatmen looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

"Teacher, the adults are here, waiting for you below."

Hearing the apprentice's words, the two boatmen quickly wiped the stains on their hands on their work clothes, took off their apron-style work clothes, and went under the sand boat. They didn't know much about Geralt, but in the apprenticeship Under the immersion of ordinary workers, they know that this is a kind-hearted adult. Kindness is a rare word these days.

"Good day, my lord." The two boatmen respectfully came to Geralt and greeted him.

"Good day, Bartos, and Tana, you did a good job." Geralt has a good memory. Although he has only seen the two of them once, Geralt still remembers their names in his mind.

Seeing the 27.8-meter sand boat in front of him, Geralt nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly the same as the sand boat in his memory.

"Bartos, arrange to launch." Geralt turned his head and looked at the boatman Bartos, and instructed expectantly.

"Yes, my lord."

"Prepare to go into the water!"

Bartos greeted loudly, and the apprentices and workers quickly moved the logs and put them in front of the sand boat. After laying it all the way to the water outlet, dozens of strong men began to push the sand boat.

The flat-bottomed sand boat was pushed well on the log. Without much effort, the sand boat began to move forward. The strong men shouted neatly, and with a cheer, the sand boat was officially launched!

This experimental sand boat is not too big. It is more than three meters wide and more than 20 meters long. There are three masts on the deck. .

"Check the seepage point!" Bartos and Tana boarded the sand boat first, called all the apprentices up, and began to carefully check along the sand boat.

This check is more than half an hour.

"I'm fine, teacher!"

"Me too!"

"No problem teacher!"

"........."

The sound of reports sounded on the sand boat, and Geralt, who stood by the side of the launching port and admired the shape of the boat, nodded in satisfaction.

"Sir, please get on the boat." Bartos saw that there was no problem of water seepage in the boat, so he went to Geralt and invited him to board the boat.

Grain stew "good."

"Sail up, set sail!"

The apprentices who followed Bartos and Tana from the beginning were natural sailors. They jumped up and down and hooked up the three masts to their sails. The sand boat went out of the shipyard and came to the Danube.

"Sail down! Brother Tana, you go to the helm." Bartos arranged the big and small things on the sand boat. At this moment, he didn't look like a boatman, but like a first mate.

When he came to Geralt, Bartos asked Geralt carefully: "Sir, where do you think we are going for the trial?"

"Don't worry, look at the load of the sand boat first, dock on the pier, and load the cement first, let's go to Santermeyer!"

"Understood, sir." Bartos took the order and quickly issued the task.

"Turn the rudder! Dock at the dock, the anchor is ready!"

The current boatmen and apprentices are very much like the helmsman and sailor of a ship. Under their operation, the sand boat stably leaned on the dock of White Wolf Town. The apprentices threw the anchor at the stern into the water. The sound of the chain rushing was accompanied by a dull sound of falling into the water, and the sand boat stopped.

Before coming back, Geralt arranged for a group of people to wait here. Seeing that the sand boat was able to run smoothly in the Danube, the group went to the nearby cement workshop and arranged for a large amount of cement to be delivered.

The baffles on the side of the sand boat were lowered, two wooden ladders were put down through the gap, and the workers began to load the cement. If Geralt remembered correctly, the limit of the five-masted sand boat was thirty-six meters long and four meters wide. With a load capacity of 800 tons, although this experimental sand boat is a little smaller in size, it is not too much to carry 500 tons.

The cement sent by the cement workshop was quickly loaded onto the sand boat under the labor of hundreds of people. Geralt stood beside the sand boat, looked at the person in charge of the record below and asked, "How much cement in total?"

"Sir, each bag of cement weighs 50 kilograms. There are a thousand bags here, totaling about 50 tons."

"Is there any stock left?" Geralt put his hands on his chest and asked the person in charge of the records below. He wanted to test the load of the sand boat at one time. It happened that Santermeer's pier was almost built, and it was just fine. Send some building materials over there.

"There are still more than 5,000 bags in stock, sir, do you need to move them all over?"

The cement in White Wolf Town is used every day, so the stock is indeed not high. Geralt frowned, and it was not enough to move all of them. Considering that White Wolf Town also needed it, Geralt said: "I am moving a thousand bags over here. ~www.wuxiahere.com~ In addition, you need to make an extra trip to the granary, so that 400 tons of wheat can be delivered there."

"Follow your orders!"

It took some time to move the supplies, but Geralt was not in a hurry. After loading the new one thousand bags of cement, Geralt ordered two layers of thick cloth to be covered, and then let people carry the food, one basket by one. The basket of wheat was sent to the boat. In order to speed up, Geralt sent a group of laborers to come over. After spending several hours, Bartos came to Geralt's side.

"My lord, the water line is tight, and it can't be installed any more."

"Stop!" Hearing Bartos's words, Geralt stopped the labor that was still transporting, and he looked at the person in charge of recording below.

The person in charge of recording understood instantly, looked at the remaining wheat on the dock, and the person in charge of recording quickly calculated: "A total of 463 tons of supplies are loaded on the sand boat."

"Okay, I get it, it's hard work for you, let someone send the rest of the wheat back."

"Yes."

Although it didn't reach the 500 tons in Geralt's mind, the limit load of 463 tons was also in the past. Geralt nodded, looked towards the Danube, and said loudly.

"Sail! Santmeier!"
