CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 180 SHIPYARD_3

How much must a fish as big as a mountain eat every day?

Even Chi Shao and the others behind Jiang Xuan were so shocked they couldn’t speak.

They had no doubt about Jiang Xuan’s words, because Jiang Xuan had created so many things they had never seen or heard of.

They were in a remote corner of the Southern Wilderness, and previously their biggest concern was survival, with their furthest thought being to establish a slightly larger tribe.

But now, Jiang Xuan’s words had opened their eyes to the fact that beyond the mountains lay a vast world full of unimaginable things.

"Therefore, the purpose of our shipbuilding is not just for fishing and crossing rivers, but also to explore a broader, more exciting world!"

"Of course, it’s a bit early to talk about this now."

"Our shipyard has just started. The current goal is to use planks to construct the first actual small boat, rather than a dugout canoe burnt out by fire."

"To build small boats, the warriors and I at the smelting workshop have specially crafted a batch of tools, tools that the entire tribe’s shipyard will use first, so they must be kept secret."

Jiang Xuan’s gaze turned sharp: "If anyone leaks information about the tools, not only will the person who leaks it die, but their close relatives will also be implicated."

Jiang Xuan’s words made the six warriors’ hearts tighten, and even Gou Teng and others felt the pressure.

"Of course, as you work for the tribe, the tribe will absolutely not treat you badly."

"As long as the new ship is built, everyone will receive very generous rewards."

...

"Alright, I’ve said all that needs to be said. I announce that the shipyard is officially open!" After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he led everyone into the newly built house and demonstrated the brand new bronze tools and their uses.

"This is called a saw; it can easily cut through wood and turn it into planks. Watch closely!"

Jiang Xuan picked up a bronze handsaw, walked to a piece of wood, positioned the saw, and began to pull it steadily.

"When sawing wood, keep your hand steady, ensure the saw doesn’t tilt, otherwise it might get stuck."

As Jiang Xuan continuously sawed downward, the bronze handsaw quickly penetrated the wood, with splinters flying everywhere.

"Boom!"

Before long, the wood was sawed into two pieces and rolled a few times on the ground.

All the people around Jiang Xuan watched with shining eyes; this tool was incredibly useful.

In the past, to break wood, they could only chop it bit by bit with a Stone Axe, and larger wood required burning.

Now, with the saw, they could easily saw through wood, improving speed by many times.

"This is an axe. You should be familiar with it, but this Bronze Axe is much sharper than a Stone Axe."

Jiang Xuan picked up a Bronze Axe and struck the wood, with the axe blade deeply embedded.

Then, Jiang Xuan continued to swing the axe, soon shaving a flat surface on the wood.

The warriors became even more excited, realizing that it would take at least half a day to achieve this with a Stone Axe.

Jiang Xuan picked up a Bronze Planer and said, "This tool can make the wood smoother; watch closely."

Jiang Xuan placed the wood flat on the ground, held both ends of the Bronze Planer, and with a gentle push, a thin shaving appeared.

As he continued to push, the wood’s surface quickly became smooth, with not a trace of a burr...

"This is called a Chisel..."

Jiang Xuan demonstrated each of these bronze tools and explained their uses in detail.

Everyone present, looking at these golden tools, felt as if they were dreaming, their minds in a haze.
