Chapter 1504 Shipbuilding, Returning to the Country, Household Registration
Seventy-second day after the shipwreck.
After breakfast.
Su Mingzhe stopped the people who were about to disperse and do their work:
"Everyone, don't leave yet. I have some good news to announce to everyone!"
"Brother Su, what's the good news? Are you and Sister Shanshan going to have a wedding?"
Li Lin was the first to shout, and a group of people followed suit and yelled.
A blush appeared on Shanshan's pink cheeks and she lowered her head shyly.
Rachel, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly and looked unhappy.
Ma Jin in the other corner also had a look of pain on his face.
Ever since Shanshan refined the true energy that Su Mingzhe transferred to her, she began to go out with Su Mingzhe as a pair in front of outsiders.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Ma Jin is pursuing Shan Shan.
Now, Li Lin's disturbance is just like rubbing salt into Ma Jin's wounds.
"My wedding with Shanshan will be very soon!"
Su Mingzhe first laughed with everyone, then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a small golden flame appeared out of thin air.
Everyone has been practicing for so many days, and Wang Liang and others have shared countless "common sense of cultivation" with each other.
The moment the golden flame appeared, one word popped up in everyone's mind:
"Dan Fire——"
Su Mingzhe waited for everyone to come forward, then he smiled proudly:
"Look everyone, this is the Dan Fire I condensed recently! With Dan Fire, I can use it to refine steel plates, and then build a ship... Once the ship is built, we can leave this island!"
……
'New World' is the name Su Mingzhe gave to the ship.
It is very difficult to build a ship on this small island.
After all, there was not a single industrial machine such as welding machines or lathes.
Now with Danhuo, all these impossible things have become possible.
But when Su Mingzhe started to refine the steel plates, everyone discovered another problem.
That is, although the power of the Dan Fire is indeed quite good, the steel plate one inch behind it cannot withstand the "roasting" of the Dan Fire for one minute, but its size is too small.
Small size means low efficiency.
Three days passed.
Su Mingzhe 'exhausted' his true energy before 'refining' a ton of steel plates.
This is far from enough to build a large ship that can accommodate thirty people.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was so inefficient, Ma Jin became really anxious.
It is now the seventy-fifth day since the shipwreck, and there is only half a month left until the date for him to redeem his lottery prize.
At this moment, every minute and every second is torture.
Ma Jin, feeling anxious, suppressed his disgust towards Su Mingzhe, came over and said with an apologetic smile:
"Xiao Su, your Dan Fire is too small. It will take a long time to build a big ship. I suggest we build a small boat first! This boat doesn't need to be able to hold too many people, three or five people will be enough. We can come back after we find a new continent..."
Knowing what Ma Jin was thinking, Su Mingzhe would naturally not let him get his way.
However, Su Mingzhe did not want to be a bad guy, so he chuckled and replied:
"Ma Jin, don't tell me that. Ask the others whether they would rather build a small boat or a big boat! We are a team. We should be democratic when doing things!"
"I definitely can't agree to that!"
Li Lin was originally Su Mingzhe's bad friend, but after more than 70 days of getting along with him, he has now been upgraded to a "lackey".
Su Mingzhe just said it casually, but Li Lin immediately understood how to respond.
"Can you represent everyone?"
Ma Jin knew that he was pursuing Shan Shan and was disliked by Su Mingzhe and his "gang". Seeing Li Lin teasing him, he was not panicked, but incited others:
"Building a small boat is much faster than building a big ship. Maybe the end of the world won't come. After the boat is built, we can return to Binhai in a few days. In less than ten days, all of us can go home..."
"What you said is just a possibility!"
Li Lin directly challenged:
"There is another possibility, that is, the end of the world has already happened!"
"Think about it, everyone. All the land below 1,500 meters above sea level has been submerged. If we build a small boat and head west, how many days will it take to encounter a new continent?"
"What if, what if, this boat travels thousands of miles to find the new continent. The people on the boat don't know the location of the island. If they can't find it, what will the rest of the people do?"
As Li Lin described, everyone thought of various terrible possibilities. Next, no matter how Ma Jin persuaded them, everyone chose the safest way:
That is to build a big ship and everyone sets out together.
This means that if anything happens, we share the responsibility.
Anyway, more than seventy days have passed, and no one cares about wasting ten or twenty more days.
Seeing that his plan was going to fail, Ma Jin came up with the idea of asking Su Mingzhe to help him build a small boat.
Su Mingzhe naturally refused directly on the grounds of "safety".
"A bunch of SB!"
……
Eighty-five days after the shipwreck.
Su Mingzhe finally made a "sailboat" that can accommodate thirty people.
The food and other things have been prepared long ago.
Day eighty-six.
At Ma Jin's urging, everyone boarded the boat carefully and started their journey home.
Wait until the sail is set.
Su Mingzhe suddenly thought of a question:
"Everyone, who can operate a sailboat?"
……
The sailboat, without anyone to steer it, drifted on the sea for four days.
This day was the eighty-ninth day since the shipwreck.
Looking at the boundless ocean and knowing that it was still a long way to find land, Ma Jin became so anxious that his mouth started to get inflamed and several white blisters appeared on his mouth.
at this time.
Su Mingzhe, who was flying high in the sky and looking out, landed on the deck with a happy face:
"There is a boat. There is a fishing boat about fifteen miles ahead!"
……
The ninetieth day after the shipwreck was also the last day for Ma Jin to claim his lottery prize.
The kind-hearted fishing boat owner towed everyone back to the dock.
"Back! Finally back!"
Ma Jin was so impatient that the first thing he did after getting off the boat was to pull his cousin and run madly towards the dock!
Xiaoxing was confused:
"Brother, where are you taking me?"
"Xiaoxing, hurry up and get a taxi. Let's go to Yuhang!"
Ma Jin was too lazy to explain to Xiaoxing. When they reached the intersection, he asked Xiaoxing to take a taxi. He took out the book "Success Studies", flipped through it, and looked at the lottery ticket inside.
"Brother, what are we going to do in Yuhang?"
Xiaoxing obediently took a taxi back and was excited to see his cousin, but for some reason, he was a little scared.
Because of Su Mingzhe, Ma Jin never told Shanshan about his winning the lottery, so Xiaoxing naturally didn't know that his cousin had won 60 million.
"Why do you care so much? Can I, your brother, harm you?"
I have to say that Ma Jin is really stubborn and still refuses to tell his cousin about the matter.
……
Su Mingzhe was too lazy to care about Ma Jin's affairs.
After getting off the boat, Su Mingzhe and Zhang Jieqiang called Yaoyaoling immediately and also contacted the travel agency and insurance company.
The insurance company must pay compensation for this maritime accident.
Everyone wants an explanation for the grievances they have been feeling for three months.
After Yaoyaoling, people from the insurance company and travel agency arrived one after another.
Su Mingzhe, Zhang Jiqiang and others then realized that thirty of them had been included in the "shipwreck list" and their family registrations had been cancelled.
