There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#274 - Chapter 274: The Peerless

"No, call it the Four Seas Shipyard."

Their family runs a maritime business, and coupled with the surname "Ao," it would be a disservice to the Heavenly Court not to use this name.

"Come, let me introduce you to this ship."

Ao Song patted the spot Qi Jing had just touched and said:

"The original material of this ship was wood, and quite good wood at that. This kind of wood is perfectly fine for sailing on Earth, but it's a bit lacking in the seas of another world.

So we used something called 'Silverwood Insect Fluid' to soak this ship."

Seeing the expressions on Yan Cheng and the others' faces, Ao Song knew they hadn't heard of such a thing, so he explained:

"Silverwood Insect Fluid is a liquid rich in Silverwood Insects. A single drop contains tens of thousands of them. These insects have a special characteristic: they eat away a portion of the wood's substance and then secrete a fluid that strengthens the remaining wood.

In just one day, it can harden an ordinary piece of wood without adding much weight."

Because the process of the Silverwood Insects eating the wood is very complex, Ao Song didn't explain it in detail but gave a general overview.

"Finally, we flush out these Silverwood Insects with water, and we get this silver-gray ship."

Yan Cheng exclaimed:

"The other world is truly amazing. Insects actually have this kind of function. Awesome."

Ao Song smiled:

"Actually, Silverwood Insect Fluid isn't used very often. Ships made with it are still quite fragile compared to other materials, but Qi Jing's requirements aren't high. It's sufficient for his needs."

"Lightness" is an important condition for "speed."

Its hardness can completely withstand the wind and waves here, as long as it's not attacked by powerful sea beasts, it's perfectly fine.

In fact, research on Silverwood Insects has never stopped, just like hybrid rice. Silverwood Insects can also be continuously iterated to select superior varieties.

If one day a mutation occurs that allows Silverwood Insects to harden wood hundreds of times over, that would be truly "awesome."

"Come, next I'll take you to see the ship."

Ao Song jumped onto the deck of the ship in one leap, and the others followed suit.

He pointed to the rolled-up sail in the center and said:

"First, this sail. If you want speed, using sails is definitely not an option, so we abandoned wind power and installed a brand-new propeller propulsion system underneath.

Its speed is very fast. Reaching 200 mph isn't a problem. If you're not afraid, you can even race on the sea, and drifting is also possible."

Then he pointed to the bow of the ship, where there was a metal rudder that looked more like a steering wheel.

"Controlling the direction is this rudder, similar to a car's steering wheel. It can turn two and a half turns to the left and two and a half turns to the right. This handle here can also change the direction to reverse and can also be used to slow down."

Good heavens, it really is a steering wheel.

Everyone crowded around to try it out and found that turning it was very easy, not at all like the force needed to move this ship.

They also noticed an electronic screen below the steering wheel.

Ao Song said:

"The display screen below can connect to the internet and can do automatic navigation.

Of course, automatic navigation is only possible in places where we have maps. It can't be used in places without maps, but in the Sea Trial, there's no need to worry about that. It's still difficult to sail the ship outside the map."

Next, Ao Song talked about the various cabins of the ship, which included a lot of lightweight furniture.

Shower rooms, toilets, and everything else were included.

However, there were only two rooms, so Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin would have to live together.

"OK, next you can try out how to use this ship in this sea area. I'll go down first. If you feel anything is wrong, you can come and find me at any time. I'll be at the shipyard entrance."

After Ao Song jumped down, they dispersed and began to wander around the ship.

"Fang Sheng, come here."

Tan Zuoyin stood under the rolled-up sail and beckoned Qi Jing over.

"What's up?"

Qi Jing walked over suspiciously. Could there be some mechanism under the sail?

As soon as his gaze shifted downward, Tan Zuoyin pulled down the sail.

Whoosh ~

The three large characters "Peerless" shone brightly on it. If you looked closely, there was also a large-headed Q version of Qi Jing's portrait below.

Tan Zuoyin pointed to it and said with a smile:

"I drew this. How is it?"

Seeing her "seeking praise" look, Qi Jing deliberately opened his mouth wide, showing a very surprised expression:

"It's beautiful, so beautiful! You actually secretly ran over to draw?"

"It's quite troublesome to draw behind your back. You're sticking to me like toffee every day. It wasn't easy to find an opportunity."

"Let me guess, you secretly drew this last night after dinner, right?"

"That's right ~"

Qi Jing asked:

"Peerless, why not call it Qitian (Equal to Heaven) or Zhatian (Exploding Heaven)?"

Tan Zuoyin patted the nearby mast:

"Because this is a small boat that will be abandoned in the future. The name Qitian is to be reserved for the airship in the future.

Also, Zhatian sounds too awful."

"Zhatian is so domineering." Qi Jing sighed: "However, once you give it a name, you won't be willing to sell it."

An item, as long as it has a name, it will be different, it will have a different meaning, and it will be difficult to actively abandon it.

Just like a stuffed toy at home, as long as you give it a name, it will increase a lot of weight in your heart, even if you haven't seen it for a long time and it's covered in dust, you won't think about throwing it away.

Their teacher also said not to name their weapons and equipment, because they are consumables, otherwise, when you encounter a crisis in the future and need to abandon them, you will lose your life because of hesitation.

Qi Jing's childhood teddy bear named "Duo Duo" is still at home and he can't bear to throw it away.

"Then don't throw it away, use it as our spare boat in the future. Maybe we can use it sometime."

Tan Zuoyin continued:

"And I thought of how to put it into your sleeve space."

Qi Jing widened his eyes: "Huh? What method?"

"It's them!"

Tan Zuoyin pointed to Kirby and Xiao Pi who were playing games on the deck.

"Pi? (What's up?)"

"Kirby? (What's up?)"

Tan Zuoyin pointed to Kirby and said:

"Kirby can eat Xiao Pi and then use its ability to become bigger, eat the ship, then become smaller, put it in your space, and then become bigger to release it."

"Good idea!"

Qi Jing's sleeve space can only hold things within two meters around him. Including his height, he can hold a diameter of five or six meters.

But this ship is a full dozen meters long and cannot be put in at all.

If Kirby can become bigger than it, this method can be completely successful.

"Kirby, do you want to try it?"

In the past, Kirby would definitely not be able to become so big. Although Xiao Pi's ability has risen to the second level and it can become a dozen meters big, Kirby cannot fully exert Xiao Pi's power. Forcing it to become bigger will definitely cause it to explode.

But now it's different, Kirby has abilities!
