The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Yuge was very happy to see her father chatting happily with the ship owner Zeng.

With the help of the shipowner and his father, the construction of this ship will surely proceed more smoothly.

As he had predicted, the ship owner, Zeng, came to help from time to time in the days that followed.

With his extensive shipbuilding experience, he offered many valuable suggestions on the design and construction of ships.

Lin Yuge and Lin Fanghai also listened carefully to the opinions of the ship owner, Zeng.

Continuously improve and perfect shipbuilding technology.

Finally, with everyone's efforts, the frame of the ship gradually took shape.

The entire hull frame presents a rigorous and orderly layout.

Starting from the keel, the twenty-meter-long logs steadily supported the spine of the ship like a stabilizing anchor.

Eighty-eight horizontal ribs are closely arranged on both sides of the keel, like sturdy guardians protecting the hull.

Each rib has been meticulously sculpted.

It echoes the adjacent ribs, forming a continuous and smooth curve.

At the bow, the ribs gradually taper, forming a sharp shape to better cut through the waves.

At the stern, the ribs widen slightly.

Sufficient space was provided for the installation of the rudder and propulsion system.

Along both sides of the hull, longitudinal girder extends upward from the keel.

They connect with the ribs, enhancing the lateral strength of the hull.

Fenders can also be installed on the side longitudinal girder.

To protect the hull from damage when it comes to shore or collides with other vessels.

At the bottom of the hull, below the keel, there are also some bottom longitudinal girder and ribs.

The bottom longitudinal girder is parallel to the keel, further enhancing the longitudinal strength of the hull.

The ribs divide the bottom of the ship into small compartments.

This improved the ship's resistance to sinking, and the compartments were independent yet interconnected.

Here, Lin Yuge has mastered the watertight compartment technology to perfection.

In the upper part of the hull, the deck beams and longitudinals form a robust deck structure.

The deck beams are horizontally connected to the ribs and bear various loads on the deck.

The longitudinal ribs are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the deck, enhancing the deck's strength and stability.

The layout of the entire hull frame takes into account both the structural strength and stability of the ship.

It also fully considered the ship's navigation performance and functionality.

Each component is carefully designed and installed, working together to form a robust and reliable whole.

Looking at the frame in front of me, it resembled the skeleton of a giant beast standing on the seashore.

Everyone standing there suddenly felt tiny.

"When I saw the blueprints, I knew how ingenious your ship design was."

"I never expected it! The framework alone is already so breathtaking."

The ship owner's gaze was fixed on the massive frame, his eyes filled with admiration.

“Every connection is precise and flawless, and every piece of wood plays its role perfectly.”

"This is by no means a coincidence; it must have been the result of countless careful considerations and meticulous refinement."

"Miss Lin, your talent is extremely rare in the shipbuilding industry. Once this ship is launched, it will surely create a storm at sea."

Lin Yuge was a little embarrassed by his praise and repeatedly said that she didn't deserve it.

After all, she knew very well that her achievements today were only possible because of the experience and accumulation of countless predecessors.

Those ancient shipbuilding techniques are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors.

She was simply fortunate enough to pass it down and present it to this unfamiliar world.

Others don't care about these things.

Through these days of participation, and hearing the ship owner's occasional praise, I have come to appreciate the experience.

The villagers had long held unwavering faith in Lin Yuge's shipbuilding abilities.

Those few quick-witted individuals who knew Qiu Ming's plans had already quietly begun searching for timber.

At this point, Qiu Ming made his stance clear.

"Don't worry, Yuge girl, we'll come over to help you whenever we have free time."

"We'll make sure the ship's progress doesn't fall behind."

Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with determination.

A group of people were gathered around the huge frame, talking enthusiastically.

Just then, a ship sailed into the bay.

The crowd saw the ship in the distance; it was enormous and imposing.

A majestic Qilin is carved on the bow of the ship, shimmering with a mysterious light in the sunlight.

The sails were as white as snow, with a large "Xiao" character embroidered on them, the characters written in a strong and vigorous style.

A purple flag, embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, fluttered at the top of the mast, rustling in the wind.

As the boat gradually approached the shore, everyone realized that both sides of the boat were lined with guards carrying swords.

"Light boat!"

"Little Sister Lin!"

Before the boat had even stopped, Lu Ziheng's voice came from the ship.

Lin Yuge looked up and saw him leaning on the gunwale, waving to everyone.

"Cousin, it's time for you to get off the ship!"

A soft voice rang out.

As the planks were lowered, the group of people disembarked from the boat.

The one leading the group was none other than Xiao Yunqing, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Although the villagers did not know his identity, they could tell from his demeanor and the respect others showed him.

You can also guess that he is no ordinary person.

Xiao Yunqing slightly raised her hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be so polite.

He walked up to the Lin family.

"Lord Lin, Madam Lin, how have you been?"

His gaze fell on Lin Yuge behind him, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and he nodded slightly to her.

At this moment, Lin Fanghai asked with some doubt, "Does Your Highness have come with important business?"

Xiao Yunqing withdrew her gaze, preparing to respond.

Lu Ziheng's voice could be heard through the crowd.

"Qingzhou, you guys are amazing! I've only been gone for a little over three months, and the ship is almost finished?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Ziheng.

He strode over excitedly, his eyes filled with amazement as he looked at the massive ship frame.

"Brother Lu, this ship is still a while away from completion."

"However, everyone has been very supportive, and the progress is faster than expected," Lin Yuge explained with a smile.

Lu Ziheng nodded repeatedly, circling the ship's frame again and again.

He kept making sounds of admiration.

"Once this ship is built, it will be truly amazing. Lin Xiaomei, you are really incredible."

He turned to look at Xiao Yunqing, "Yunqing, don't you think so?"

Xiao Yunqing nodded slightly, her gaze remaining fixed on Lin Yuge.

"Indeed, Yu Ge's talent is truly admirable."

Lin Yuge felt a little embarrassed by their praise.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's all thanks to everyone's hard work. I couldn't have done so much by myself."

At this moment, Xie Jingwan stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Your Highness, Ziheng, since you're here, why don't you come in and have a seat at my home?"

Lu Ziheng readily agreed.

"Okay, Auntie."

“I was taken back by Yun Qing that day and didn’t even have time to attend the housewarming banquet. I’ll make up for it today.”

"Cousin, I can send someone to tie you up and take you back."

Xiao Yunqing glanced at him coldly and said indifferently.

Lu Ziheng, however, was not afraid at all, and instead laughed heartily.

"Yunqing, don't scare me. Now that my aunt has invited me, I must go and properly celebrate this housewarming banquet."

"Besides, you can tie me up for a while, but can you tie me up forever?"

Xiao Yunqing slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"If you keep making this noise, I don't mind tying you up a few more times."

Then he stopped Lu Ziheng.

"Cousin, I have something to announce."
