Chapter 40 - Day one

"Long live!" "Long live!" "Long live!"

...

The sailors on the pirate ship, who just experienced a flying-like sensation on the pirate ship a moment ago, although the time was short, it was incredibly wonderful.

After witnessing the miracle of Ron pulling the huge pirate ship onto the station alone, they all cheered.

And Ron first released the stance of fully bursting out Qi Force, then knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily in large gulps.

In those short few seconds just now, by fully bursting out Qi Force, he increased his strength by 1,400 times for the sprint.

When the ship landed steadily, he let out a sigh of relief, glad that his calculation was not wrong. While his mood relaxed, he was also almost exhausted.

After resting for a while, he still felt extremely uncomfortable, so he simply lay down on the ground.

As for the remaining matters, they were left to others.

And those sailors were inspired by Ron's powerful strength and were all extremely excited, working diligently.

Those who were supposed to build the gangway did it, and those who were supposed to move the goods did that.

The aim was to transfer the winter supplies on the "Lucky Sailor" to the pirate ship.

Of course, the supplies couldn't be randomly thrown on the ground.

Regarding how to store them and where to place what supplies, Ron and Christie had planned in advance, and they all had to strictly follow the plan.

Originally, Ron wanted to supervise this matter himself, but in his current state, he probably couldn't command, so he could only leave it to Christie.

When Ron was lying on the ground resting, Christie didn't come to care but boarded the pirate ship first and commanded the work.

Under her command, all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

Of course, Christie's ability to step forward was also agreed upon by Ron and her.

Ron clearly told Christie that when they reached the new territory, she couldn't be her noble young lady anymore.

Because there was nothing there, everything had to rely on themselves. Women had to be used like men, and men had to be used like beasts. Everyone had to contribute their due strength.

Ron hoped that Christie could shoulder the mission of the mistress.

Judging from the current situation, she had achieved it.

After a period of rest, Ron immediately got up.

Because he knew that the ship's hull must be reinforced immediately; otherwise, due to the uneven distribution of the goods' weight, the ship's hull would tilt. No one wanted to live in a tilted house.

Therefore, he picked up his sword and ran towards the forest nearby.

In no time, he returned with a large log on his shoulder and another one in his arms.

These logs were the main trunks of the big trees after cutting off the lateral branches above, about seven or eight meters long and approximately 20 centimeters in diameter.

Ron also found some flat big stones to serve as the foundation for the supporting columns.

Then, he shaved one side of the log into an inclined surface that fit the ship's hull before placing the columns one by one.

If there were no more logs, he would go and cut more.

With his strength, to get a log, he only needed two strokes of the sword, one stroke above and one stroke below. At most, a few more strokes were needed to trim the lateral branches.

In fact, Ron still made a slight selection. Those with lateral branches were not wanted; only the straight main trunks were taken.

And the length was controlled to ensure that each one was roughly the same in length.

All these were too easy for him.

In just one hour, he had supported 30 anti-tilt columns, fifteen on each side of the ship. On average, it took him less than two minutes for each column. If he were on Earth, he could have become rich with this skill.

When the log columns were erected, the main task was considered completed. He was also tired and wanted to take a rest.

But seeing that it was not convenient to use the gangways, he simply went to get dozens of logs and prepared to build a fixed staircase, so it would be much more convenient to board and disembark the ship.

Also, when the heavy snow came, it would be much safer to enter and exit, at least reducing the chance of slipping and getting injured.

The staircase he wanted to build was also very straightforward. He simply split the logs in half from the middle to get two logs about four meters long.

Then, he made a horizontal cut on the log, thus obtaining two 4-meter-long semi-circles.

When the flat sides of the two semi-circles were put together, it was a staircase. The remaining task was to make some columns of the staircase height and place these staircases one by one.

For the connection between the staircase and the columns, Ron planned to use the Chinese mortise and tenon technique. He didn't pursue elegance; it just needed to be firm and neat.

Of course, Ron also knew that even with the simplest mortise and tenon technique, it couldn't be completed in a short time. He was just preparing the materials first.

After completing these material preparations, it took him almost another hour.

Seeing that everyone was still moving the goods, he went into the forest alone to prepare the water source.

Fortunately, when choosing this territory at the beginning, this point was considered.

About 500 meters away from here, there was a small stream. The stream water was melted snow water from Mount Gordo. Although it wasn't very large, it was one to two meters wide. It was definitely no problem for several hundred people to drink water.

Besides, there were only six people in Ron's group.

However, Ron felt that it was still a bit far, and he also didn't want to run 500 meters to fetch water every time he needed it in the future. That would be deadly.

He planned to use the simplest and most straightforward method to directly lead the water to the station.

Ron had already located a straight line through the vision of Golden Head.

When he reached the small stream, he directly drew out his long sword and made an opening on the bank of the stream with a sword energy.

Then, along the straight line, the sword energy danced all the way. When encountering stones, he chopped them; when encountering trees, he split them, just to carve a ditch on the ground.

He didn't care how wide or big the ditch was, nor did he care about the terrain's height. As long as he saw that the water could flow, he continued forward. His aim was just to lead the water to the territory.

When he was tired in the middle, he sat down to rest. When he was hungry, he ate some dry food.

Just like this, he rested and swung his sword all the way. By the time it was close to evening, he finally dug out a small ditch.

The clear stream water continuously flowed towards the territory along the small ditch.

At this moment, Ron smiled, but he was also almost exhausted.

"Ron, you finally came back." Christie rushed up and gave Ron a warm hug.

Only then did Ron discover that the matters on this side of the territory had been completed. When everyone saw him return, they all gathered around.

"Knight Ron, you really amazed me." Bette stepped forward and said,

"Less than a day after coming here, you have solved various problems of the territory, such as the storage of these supplies and the issue of accommodation. Now even the water source is so convenient. I believe you will definitely develop this territory powerfully and protect all your people!"

Ron was too tired and replied feebly, "Thank you for your praise. I also believe you will definitely become the hegemon of the sea and the commercial giant on land. Let's encourage each other."

Saying this, the two hugged each other.

"Knight Ron, my task has been completed, and it's time for me to go back. The rest is all up to you." Bette said seriously,

"Before leaving, I'll give you one last sentence. Please be careful of 'Golan'."

After hearing this, Ron frowned, "Golan? Who exactly is he? This is the second time I've heard this name. Please, Captain Bette, solve my confusion!"

"When you meet him, you'll know! It's useless for me to say anything now!" Bette said with a smile,

"We should have completed things two hours ago and should have left long ago. To bid you farewell, we deliberately stayed for such a long time. Now it's time to say goodbye."

"Knight Ron, please take care! I look forward to seeing you again next spring!"

"Sir Bette, please take care too!"

Ron, Christie, Lir, and others stood on the beach and watched Bette and the other sailors board the ship and leave.

When the ship started, Bette shouted loudly, "For the Moore family!"

Bette's shout when leaving infected everyone, and everyone shouted loudly together, "For the Moore family!"

Perhaps due to the pain of parting, Ron also softly said, "For the family!"
