Chapter 25: Fighting for the Country's Destiny with the Family
"We already have lifeboats, so we don't have to worry about floods, right? Why do we need to build boats?"
Zhang Qianqian spoke.
Everyone looked at her in confusion. Yang Na, who was the most familiar with her among these people, said, "Didn't you hear there was a reward?"
Zhang Qianqian disagreed, "We already have a house, right? A mobile safe house is probably just a mobile home, how can it be safer than our stone house..."
In fact, she didn't need to contribute to the shipbuilding as there were so many men. She was just a little depressed. Everyone was busy these days and no one paid attention to her. It would be better if it was just her and Yang Na before.
Yang Na said patiently: "It's definitely not a mobile home. Look how advanced that lifeboat is. Besides, this is a mission. If you don't complete it, there will be a penalty."
After spending more than ten days together, Yang Na had some understanding of her. This girl came from a well-off family, so she had a bit of a spoiled brat temperament and wanted to get attention.
The others didn't care about her little girl's thoughts and had already clearly divided the work and assigned them to do what they were supposed to do.
Xiao Yun didn't go out. She couldn't help with this. Although she knew carpentry, she was a cat now and couldn't plane wood with her claws.
After feeding the cubs, she dragged her family to the beach. She felt that the cover was about to be put away, so she wanted to see where the main body of the cover was and whether it was the same as the formation plate.
The interstellar space she had visited before also had a protective shield, but it was not like this one that could appear suddenly. That one was made of special materials, and to put it bluntly, you could still see a solid entity, just like a glass light curtain.
This isolation shield can be big or small, just like the one she made with her array, except that one used spiritual energy, but this one uses nothing. Could it be light or gas?
But it only blocks wind and rain but not air. This technology is amazing enough and she wants to study it.
The reason why she went to the south to look first was because the lifeboat and the fuel pipeline came from there, and she subconsciously thought that everything should be in that direction.
I pretended to take the big raccoon and the cubs for a walk along the beach, looking at the ten-meter-high water wall outside the cover. I guess it will flood in tomorrow? I don't think the beach here can be preserved.
The kids were having a blast, running and jumping around, digging out shells and stones from the sand from time to time, and sometimes even a few small fish and shrimps.
The little ones ate them raw. There was nothing wrong with eating raw shrimps. Besides, cats are meant to eat raw food, so Xiao Yun didn't care about them as long as they were not hurt.
The kids' teeth have gotten much better in the past few days, and they can eat some small snacks and soft foods.
While walking her baby, she extended her spiritual sense to the surroundings, not only inside the cover, but also in the sea water outside and even underground. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything suspicious.
Instead, I discovered that this cover extended directly to the bottom of the sea, blocking the sea water below. The fish and shrimp on both sides would be stopped if they swam there, just like the two sides of a fish tank.
Xiao Yun thought about it and jumped directly into the water. She slapped the fish swimming by her with one claw and threw them onto the shore, giving the illusion that she was catching fish. Then she swam calmly to the vicinity of the cover.
When she reached the edge, she stretched out her claws towards the cover and found that she could touch something solid, but it was more elastic than the glass cover. When her claws could be extended, the cover would extend with it and would not break.
So is the entire island now enveloped in a huge bubble? Xiao Yun became even more interested.
It’s a pity that I spent more than an hour in the south and caught a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs, but I didn’t find anything that looked like a machine.
The big raccoon and the little ones were tired from playing and were lying on the beach to rest. Xiao Yun had just dried his fur and lay down next to the big raccoon. Li Yuzhen and a group of other women came over. They were here to catch fish and prepare breakfast.
The men went to do the physical work, and those in poor health did some delicate and non-physical work, while the women took over the logistical work such as cooking and washing clothes on their own initiative.
Seeing that whole family of them were lying on their backs with fish piled up like a mountain next to them, I praised them highly and even gave them a massage.
The big raccoon was so overwhelmed by the praise that he ran into the water and caught a few big ones. Xiao Yunniang and the other three spread out four cat pancakes, one big and three small, and enjoyed the massage service provided by Li Yuzhen and others. The little ones fell asleep in a short while.
In the end, everyone walked back with the fish and the cat, and Xiao Yun and Dalizi also enjoyed a hug of love.
While walking back, Xiao Yun did not forget to release his spiritual sense to see if he had any discoveries on the road or in the forest, but unfortunately there was nothing.
I thought that after breakfast, I would go out for a walk around the island by myself and not bring Big Cat and the cubs with me. The seashore in other directions is full of reefs, straight up and down, and it would be too dangerous to bring the cubs with me.
When we returned to the temporary base, we found that Sun Yang and his team had already cut a lot of wood and made them into boards, and they also found the supplies that had been dropped off.
There were more than a dozen boxes, and apart from some food and daily necessities, most of them were tools used for shipbuilding, such as electric saws, cutting machines, waterproof paint and the like.
Xiao Yun jumped down from Li Yuzhen's arms, pulled Sun Yang's legs, pointed at the supplies with his claws, tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
My friend immediately understood and explained: "We found it under a tree when we went down to cut wood. We just left it there. Our mission this time is to quickly build a simple boat. We have a short time, so we didn't waste time looking for supplies."
After all, there are only eight hours, two hours have passed and there are still six hours to go. Time is tight and the task is heavy.
Fortunately, we have those power tools, especially the cutters and electric saws. If we had to rely on hand saws to cut down trees and saw boards, it would probably not take even 18 hours.
The most exciting thing was that there were blueprints inside. They just had to follow the blueprints. After all, they had no experience in shipbuilding. If they followed their own ideas, the final product would probably be a raft.
It was past five o'clock and daybreak. After everyone changed shifts and had breakfast, Xiao Yun quietly slipped out while everyone was busy and Dalizi and the cubs were asleep.
She first went to the reef area in the east, where the waves were big and the reefs were extremely sharp.
He jumped onto a protruding reef, while releasing his spiritual sense to search the surrounding area.
Suddenly, she sensed a faint energy fluctuation under the reef. Xiao Yun became excited and used her spiritual sense to directly reach in and wrap around the reef, moving it away. A hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters was revealed underneath. She probed inside and found a round disk emitting a faint blue glow...
