Flint: "What are you talking about? Gunpowder? Judging from the root of the word, it's the same thing as smoke powder?"
Gunpowder and smoke powder in the common language share the same root.
In fact, smoke powder, like fire glue, is an alchemical product of this plane.
Wang: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I want to design a machine to extract water from the air in the sky."
Flint: "I remember the dwarves also tried this, but they found that in order to increase production to a practical level, the machine had to be very large, and even their largest airship couldn't fit it."
Wang: “We can fit it now.”
Rosalie: "Wait a minute, it sounds like the water problem can be solved?"
Wang: "There is a solution, but the machine has not been built yet - no, there is no blueprint yet. Because there is no blueprint, I can't tell you what materials you need. But you can take back all the wood, nails and other things from those stranded ships. You will be fine."
Rosalie: "Okay. By the way, the ship that the Austrian Alliance is on was sent by my father - my father, the emperor. I think we can take them all on board.
"Besides...the ship is in the water. Maybe we can adjust the height of the floating island and lift the ship up before the water erodes it."
Wang: “We can first dig a pit on the shore that can accommodate ships, just like a dry dock, and then the floating island will sink, and the sailors will quickly drive the ship up.
"The only thing we need to consider is the problem of the soil on the floating island being washed away by the water. This can be achieved by inserting wooden stakes in the direction of the water flow. We already have wooden stakes made from sawn-off masts of sailing ships, right?"
Rosalie: "Yes. But I was so busy moving supplies and canvas on the ship these days that I only sawed off one mast."
Wang: "I'll leave it to you to adjust and allocate everyone's work schedule, and remember to arrange for the lizardmen to go fishing. Thank God, I have you as my housekeeper. If it weren't for you, I would have to arrange all this myself, which is scary just thinking about it."
Elizabeth frowned: "I can do it, too."
Wang asked back, “Can you?”
Elizabeth looked aside.
Chapter 233 Kindergarten Principal Wang
After deciding what to do next, the members of the rescue team went to rest.
the next day.
Xiaobai woke up earlier than usual, so he strolled to the ground to breathe fresh air.
When she passed through the door, the two Pelican Gang members guarding the door were bleary-eyed. At first, they thought it was a child who sneaked in to play underground, so they reflexively scolded her, "Don't run down there casually! Are you trying to kill yourself? Oh, it's you... Sorry, I thought it was a child who sneaked down."
Xiaobai waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you are tired too, I understand."
"No no no, absolutely not!"
Xiao Bai: "Hey, I'm not a housekeeper, so it's okay for me to find out that I'm slacking off. I often slack off myself. It's my nature and instinct!"
As she spoke, she crossed her hands behind her head and strolled on the ground with a swagger.
After walking a distance, she turned her ear to the back and heard the two gatekeepers gossiping:
“I used to walk like this, but not long after, I was dragged to an alley between two warehouses at the dock and beaten up.”
"Shh! Didn't you know that werewolves have very good hearing?"
"Fuck, I just remembered." The first voice lowered its voice by eight points and continued, "I heard that this werewolf is actually the city lord's true love. I don't understand what this little body has..."
Xiaobai's ear brush was pulled back and turned back, blocking the ear hole, so he couldn't hear from behind.
As long as he can't hear it, he won't think about things that hurt his self-esteem. As long as he can't think about things that hurt his self-esteem, Xiaobai can continue to stroll around the floating island in a swagger!
Xiaobai held the big head and staggered to the edge of the floating island.
The lizardmen selected by Master Li Guang were pulling up the net that was set yesterday, surrounded by a circle of human children who were watching eagerly.
After the net was pulled up, a child sighed, "How come there are only so few fish after a whole night?"
The lizardman pulling the net didn't speak the common language well, and he stammered in response: "It's not right to gather now. There are no migrating fish. Wait until the summer is completely over and autumn comes."
A child frowned: "My mom said autumn is here!"
Lizard Man: "The human calendar is inaccurate. The real autumn is still a month away."
Several children laughed and imitated the lizard people's speech.
Xiaobai blended perfectly into the group of children, not because her ears were a head higher than the other children, but also because her white hair was so eye-catching that she might not be able to tell the difference.
Xiao Bai: "Besides the lack of migratory fish, the fish gathered here are also relatively small. The nets used by the lizardmen have large meshes, so only the big fish will stay, while the small fish will slip through.
"They know that letting go of the small fish will lead to more big fish next year."
The children all turned around, and someone shouted in surprise: "It's the city lord's mount!"
Another child shouted: "The mount can actually talk!"
Xiaobai frowned, and raised his hand to cast a light trick on the kid, making his whole body, including Binzhou, glow.
Xiaobai: "Let me see who doesn't know the ability of druids? It's you! Haha, keep your light today!"
Glowing Child: "Great! Look, Mom, I'm glowing!"
The glowing child turned around and ran towards the tent area to find his mother, followed by several little followers.
Xiaobai scratched his head: "Hey, shouldn't he be frightened? When I was a child, my mother used to frighten me by shining all over her body."
——Is it possible that it’s because you are a werewolf and have wolf habits?
At this time, a little girl pulled Xiaobai's clothes with her hand: "Master Druid."
"What? You want to glow all over too? And then team up with that boy, right?"
The little girl: "Could you help us catch some fish? My mother ate all the meat shared yesterday for me and my younger brother. She secretly hid and picked up our remaining bones. If there are fish, my mother can also eat."
Xiao Bai scratched his head and said, "That's strange. The meat was distributed by the housekeeper, so it should be enough. I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with aquatic products, so I can't transform fish well and always make mistakes. So I can't help you. You don't know what I can't help you means. It means I can't help you."
The little girl took out a strawberry and said, "My father took this from the goods when he was working yesterday. He gave one to me and my brother, and I kept it. I heard that you need to make offerings to ask great people for favors. Is this enough?"
Xiaobai's ears perked up: "I can't say it's great..."
Little girl: "Please, Your Excellency the Great Archdruid!"
Xiao Bai: "No matter how much you flatter me, it's useless!"
The little girl pursed her lips, almost crying.
noob:……
A moment later, Wang, who had finished preparing his spells this morning, took a stroll on the floating island. When he came to the river, he saw a white bear fishing in the river.
The polar bear used the "Hundred Fierce Palms" move, striking the fish madly in a row, and then the fish flew onto the shore like snowflakes.
If you look closely, most of the palm strikes actually missed, but they were hit so fast.
The palm strikes created a large amount of water. A group of children were running in the water, laughing and picking up fish on the shore.
Wang rubbed his eyes and said, “I must be seeing things wrong with such a bucolic scene.”
However, the scene did not change at all after rubbing my eyes.
There were also children who spotted Wang and said, "The Lord of the City is here!"
Wang: "That's right, I am the City Lord! No, what are you doing?"
"There are very few fish in the Lizardmen's nets, so your mount is here to help catch fish!"
Xiaobai turned back, but the water suddenly reached her chest and was about to sweep her away.
She hurriedly changed back to a white bear and climbed ashore, and then changed back again: "I'm just doing morning exercises!"
Wang looked at the wet clothes on her body: "Do you want to wet the spell-casting material bag for morning exercises?"
Although druids use divine magic, they also need materials to cast spells, so they carry a bag like a wizard.
It’s just that their bags are generally not as big as those of mages, and they don’t carry four or five bags at a time like some mages, filling up a belt.
Xiao Bai looked down at his wet spell material bag and said, "It's over! But never mind, I don't cast spells very often, and I don't need any materials to transform."
Wang: “So what’s going on?”
Xiao Bai: "There was a little girl who said that there wasn't much meat distributed yesterday, so her mother didn't eat any..."
Xiao Bai finished the story and Wang frowned, "I'll talk to Rosalie about this. We need to consider the issue of parents giving up food to their children."
Xiao Bai: "How can she pay attention? Is she going to breastfeed the baby herself? Then she has to get pregnant first, you have to work harder. She has no milk now."
Wang was shocked: "No?"
Xiaobai: "Why have you drunk?"
"That's not true. No wonder it can't be sucked out. I thought it was a special technique." Wang rubbed his chin, muttering.
Xiaobai laughed loudly and lay down directly on the muddy ground. As a result, her wet skirt and hair were covered with mud, and she was completely indistinguishable from a little kid playing in the water.
Elizabeth came over at this time. Seeing Xiaobai like this, she was shocked: "How did you get so dirty? Come here and I will wash it for you!"
Elizabeth grabbed Xiaobai and took her away without saying a word.
Wang watched them go away. Just as he looked away, the little girl standing next to him asked curiously, "Are they mother and daughter?"
Wang: "No, no, although there is no reproductive isolation between werewolves and humans, and they look like mother and daughter, but Xiaobai is older, and Elizabeth is only eighteen years old."
The little girl exclaimed, "Is this eighteen? I thought she had at least two children."
Wang: "No, your figure will be out of shape after giving birth. How can you look like Elizabeth? You really know a lot."
Little girl: "My father is a clerk, so I know more than other children. I have read books!"
Wang: "Really? Then let me test you. In the common language, faba beans have four forms. Do you know? Don't you know? Listen carefully, you will use it as a secretary in the future!"
He squatted down, picked up a branch and was about to write on the mud, but the little girl ran away.
Wang threw away the branch and stood up. He looked at the children who were collecting the fish in front of him, and then looked at the other side of the river.
Because of the obstruction of the floating island, this section of the Ma Xunya River suddenly became narrower, causing the water flow to become turbulent and the plants on the opposite bank to sway.
He retracted his gaze, turned and walked towards the other end of the floating island.
The young and strong men of the Pelican Gang have become busy.
There are about young and strong people on the shore who are digging the "dry dock" that was planned yesterday, and a person dressed as a clerk is standing next to him, supervising the work.
Wang walked over and asked, "How long will it take to dig it out?"
The clerk looked up and saw that it was him, and hurriedly reported respectfully: "It will take about three days. But if we double the manpower, we can shorten it to one day."
