Chapter 285: The Frog Tribe conquered the sky!
Chapter 285: The frog tribe conquered the world!
The shadows of the trees danced on the water surface, and occasionally a few river otters passed by.
The big beaver slapped the stone ground with its flat tail, rhythmically directing the otters to apply tung oil to the boat.
After being brushed with tung oil, the color of the entire warship model becomes deep and lustrous, and its appearance is greatly enhanced.
After one and a half months, almost two months, the beaver family, with the help of the otter family, is about to complete the project!
At the same time, Liang Qu was handing over another ship model at Liu Quanfu's house.
"Toad actually has a clan under his command!"
The news that the fat catfish just brought him was really unexpected.
He thought the toad was alone, but he didn't expect there was a bunch of little frogs underneath!
"The keel and planks are made of oak, the interior is mostly made of pine, and the deck is made of mahogany. Ninety percent of the entire ship is made of these three types of wood. Beech and other woods were also used. The total weight is fifty-four taels. Here is the account book."
Liu Quanfu turned the indigo book to a certain page and handed it to him, bringing Liang Qu's thoughts back to reality.
Liang Qu closed the account book with his backhand and said with a smile: "No need to look at it, I trust Uncle Fu to do the work."
The Dashun system had no Arabic numerals, only complicated characters, which made him feel overwhelmed. The gap was only a few ounces.
"This……"
Liang Qu's status became more and more prominent, and Liu Quanfu was deeply moved by his trust.
Liang Qu didn't look at the account book. He walked around the model ship, observing it carefully and was very satisfied.
Of course, two ships could not be of the same style when they were delivered at once, so when he asked for the drawings, he asked Liu Quanfu to make the distinction.
Therefore, the warship built by Heli was shaped like a Guang ship, while that built by Liu Quanfu was shaped like a Sha ship, and the two were very different.
The sand ship model in front of me has a total length of 13 meters, which is larger than the last building ship, but the price of the wood used is cheaper than last time.
Liang Qu remembered that it was sixty-seven taels last time, and fifty-four taels this time. It was not because Liu Quanfu cut corners and deliberately used inferior wood, but mainly because the shape of the building ship was unique.
Among the many ships, the structure of the tower ship is the most complex. There are five floors above the deck, and each floor is proportionally smaller, which consumes countless wooden planks and wood.
On the contrary, whether it is the Fujian ship, the Guang ship or the Sha ship, the deck structure is not that complicated.
"I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't bring much change with me. Let me round up to one hundred and sixty. Uncle Fu, you don't have to give me the change." Liang Qu took out the banknotes and gold ingots.
"How can that be possible? I've already earned enough from you..."
"Uncle Fu, you don't have to refuse. You know my current status. As long as the things are good, a few taels is not a big deal. But I do have another request."
"You say."
Liu Quanfu was already embarrassed and was hoping that Liang Qu had other requests, so he immediately pricked up his ears.
Liang asked: "Uncle Fu, can you make the future ship detachable and assembleable?"
Hexagonal locks and the like are just gadgets after all and are not worthy of being displayed on the table.
Most of the time, after playing a few times, they become boring after experiencing the novelty, and are placed in a corner to gather dust. Frequently giving them to the toad will easily make it unhappy.
Liang Qu wanted to complete the entire ship model in one go.
But such troublesome matters should naturally be handed over to others, otherwise you will lose sight of the main point and waste your energy.
Once you have money, the importance of money will plummet, and it will be replaced by energy. Abundant energy can be spent on meaningful things, which is far more important than money.
Liang Qu had more than 4,000 taels of silver in his hands, and could be considered a wealthy man.
Liu Quanfu frowned: "Disassemble, assemble?"
As a carpenter, he could understand Liang Qu's meaning. Who hasn't played with tangram? The only difference is what kind of assembly meets the requirements?
Should we only drill holes in the planks and make mortise and tenon joints, leaving the rest unchanged? Or should we combine multiple planks into one component and then install it?
"Parts, for example, can this ship be disassembled into more than 20 parts?"
Liang Qu felt that it was too difficult for Toad to put the wooden boards together one by one.
"I have to try it first."
Liu Quanfu didn't dare to agree immediately. As a veteran carpenter, he knew the difficulty of the task well.
If the item is small, it depends on your brain; if the item is big, it depends on the materials.
Even after being reduced in size, the ship is still about ten meters long, not a small boat the size of a palm.
If you want to use mortise and tenon to fasten it directly, the joint must be very large and deep. Otherwise, it will be extremely fragile, unable to fasten it, and the joint will easily break.
If you use the legendary precious wood...
The price is too high.
"It's okay, let's give it a try. If you can't do it, we can just do it the way it is now."
Liang Qu didn't care. He was responsible for giving suggestions, while Liu Quanfu was responsible for implementation. Whether it would succeed or not was up to him.
The assembled model can be as big as a palm or even half a person, but it is indeed questionable whether it can be enlarged to a size of ten meters. "Just like last time, come and get it tonight. Uncle Fu, just keep the door open for me."
"Okay, keep it safe and no one will know."
Liu Quanfu carefully stuffed the banknote.
back home.
Beavers and otters cooperated with each other and worked hard.
Liang Qu was just about to call the patriarch of Jiang O's family over to discuss becoming his crew member when a message from Fat Catfish suddenly came through the spiritual link in his sea of consciousness.
"Old Toad wants to come over?"
what's the situation?
The fat catfish began to tell about its experiences.
Liang Qu's brows twitched.
half an hour.
"Let it come."
Deep water area.
In front of the undercurrent channel.
The old toad stretched out one of its claws doubtfully, and indeed felt a strong suction force.
"Can you go between shallow water and deep water through the channel?"
The fat catfish nodded.
The old toad was very shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a dangerous place hidden next to the king.
The fat catfish patted its belly to reassure the old toad.
It indicated that it had already established a stronghold on the opposite side, representing the frog tribe, and successfully occupied part of the human race's territory!
The old toad was skeptical and after thinking for a while, he decided to go and take a look himself.
It believed the identity of the fat catfish for the time being. This strange thing looked very similar to the young frogs. Maybe it was really a special species.
The Toad Boss was also curious. It was the first time he heard of a stronghold. Unfortunately, the big monster could not reach the shore, and the undercurrent channel could not let him pass through.
Only the old toad is small and meets the requirements.
So...
"Hey, my old waist!"
The world spun around and the old toad fell flat on his face.
The fat catfish that landed safely on the ground was laughing loudly beside him, making the old toad so angry that he started cursing at the ignorant and rude people for being disrespectful to him, a toad that was over a hundred years old.
The fat catfish floated up with its belly up, indicating that if it listened any longer it would die.
The old toad reluctantly gave up and stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be a master.
"Take me to the frog tribe's base quickly!"
Wandering around.
The old toad crossed the underground river, with his narrow pupils showing under a lotus flower, and looked around carefully.
The huge pond was sparkling with water, and under the scorching sun, the water temperature was much warmer than that in the deep water area.
An old giant clam bathing in the sun, a beaver busy brushing oil, an otter carrying wood...
Various water animals live in harmony and peace, just like a water animal paradise!
The old toad opened his mouth wide, feeling an incomparable shock in his heart.
Really!
It’s really an aquatic stronghold!
It’s still a courtyard!
The toad rose to power only too quickly. There was no palace or magnificent building in the swamp, only a small cave in the rock wall.
The old toad also wanted to own a frog palace. It had only imagined such a scene in books, and this was the first time it encountered it in reality!
The frog tribe has established a stronghold in the human territory!
The frog tribe also has its own courtyard!
The old toad felt a pang in his heart, and all the past events came to his mind one by one.
At this moment, it thought of the former king, the tadpoles, and the beautiful and plump frog lady at the village entrance, and could not help but sigh to the sky.
"Old minister, I have no regrets in death!"
Just as the old toad pretended to stroke its whiskers and felt deeply moved, the fat catfish poked its back with its long whiskers.
When the old toad turned around, it immediately gestured.
The old toad was stunned: "You want supplies?"
The fat catfish nodded vigorously.
The human race is greedy by nature. If we don't give them some benefits, the frog tribe's stronghold will not be able to be maintained!
