The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 403: Little wooden boat, tell me what you used to look like!

Cleaning the dirt was no difficulty for Shen Le.

With his current mental strength and control ability, he was able to clean the entire house within a day and get rid of all the dust, dirt, weeds and moss.

With this skill, cleaning a 30-meter-long ship is no problem at all - what? The shell snails are too firmly attached?

Cleaning technique!
What? The nail was rusted so much that it got stuck inside?

Cleaning technique!
What? I don’t know if it’s lime or tung oil that’s stuck to the wooden board and can’t be scraped off?

Cleaning technique!
Cleaning technique!
Cleansing technique!!!

Teacher Lu followed closely behind Shen Le, staring in a daze.

Wisps of fine wind rolled out from Shen Le's hands, brushing across the heavy wooden boards, or gently and delicately wiping off only the dust on them, without even touching the cracked paint.

Or it could be sharp and razor-sharp, slicing along the edge of the board, precisely cutting off the shells that secrete countless amounts of mucus and stick to the board until they die, refusing to come down;

Or, it can rotate and push quickly, cut the nail out of the wood, roll it out from the deep of the wood, and put it down safely and securely...

"Ugh……"

"how?"

Shen Le turned around. This tutor always had a friendly smile and was patient and attentive to every little kid. He had never been seen to have negative emotions.

At this moment, he looked a little dazed and was in a very low mood.

Shen Le thought, if he was not mistaken, Teacher Lu must have remembered something bad, or even something painful?

"Ah...it's okay..."

Lu Zicheng came back to his senses, forced a smile and shook his head. Shen Le stared at him carefully, and confirmed that he had no desire to communicate for the time being, so he turned his attention back to his work:
"Cleaning technique! Cleaning technique! Cleaning technique!"

After walking around the factory and performing countless cleaning techniques, the cleaning was finally completed. The little guys ran around, sweeping snails, shells and other things into the trash can and pushing them out with a clang;
The scraps fished out from the cracks in the planks were sorted into categories, stuffed into boxes one by one, and labeled.

Waiting for Shen Le to finish his research and decide whether to fill it in as it is or throw it away completely...

Shen Le himself had to face a difficult problem. This ancient ship was generally intact, but the outer panels and bulkheads were damaged and missing;

The base, the mast, and even the keel seemed to be a little twisted and deformed.

It needs to be repaired, supplemented, and corrected - so, what did you look like when you were created?

Shen Le frowned and clicked on the file in the computer. Before dismantling the ship, he had already conducted a detailed scan of the entire ship, and was able to deduce the outlines of the damaged parts based on the intact parts;

However, to break down this complete line into individual boards, to show the original appearance of each board, and to give their repair and correction plans -

What a huge workload!
Fortunately, Shen Le didn't need to do everything himself. He simply packed up the documents, saved them, and threw them all next door along with the scanned documents of each board:

Count it for me!
Draw me!
Junior brothers and sisters, it’s up to you!

It must be admitted that the students of Shen Le's alma mater are of quite good level. Even if they are in the field of ancient architecture instead of ancient shipwreck restoration, their work efficiency is still worthy of praise:

Shen Le only waited for three days, and his fellow junior brothers and sisters referred to his scanned files and gave the original appearance of each wooden board.

As for how to correct the deformity, due to insufficient data, they only provided a bunch of data that needed to be measured:
"Brother, the type of wood! The tensile strength! The compressive strength! And this, this, that, that... We haven't measured any of these, so we can't calculate how to correct the deformity!"

Shen Le made a smiley face and ignored the request of his junior brothers and sisters. He walked slowly to the main keel and turned his head to look at the data on the computer screen;

Hong Jiayi held the laptop in her sleeves and followed him closely, ready to raise or lower the screen, or turn it so that Shen Le could see it effortlessly.

Shen Le stared at the data for a while, then raised his hand and gestured:

"Zheng Mo! Come and take a look at the data, and then measure this piece of wood. Is it the same as the one above?"

The small inkstone came whizzing over, and the speed of the lead weight, even if not as fast as the bullet leaving the gun, was not much slower.

Shen Le leaned slightly to avoid its explosive speed. The lead weight suddenly stopped and floated steadily in front of him. He caught it steadily in his hand and shook it:
"Thank you for your hard work, keep up the good work~~~"

【give it to me! 】

The little ink fountain was measuring data energetically. The ink line bounced on the wood, making crisp sounds of "clang", "clang". Shen Le smiled, raised his hand and pressed it on the keel, closing his eyes slightly:

"Come, let me see what you used to look like—" Time went backwards. Now, Shen Le no longer needed to repair the object to a certain extent, and he could vaguely see what it used to look like:

First, it was a tree, cut down, sawn, and transported to the shipyard. It was piled in the warehouse, slowly enduring the wind and sun, the summer and the winter.

One year, two years, three years, until layer upon layer of mushrooms grew on the tree trunk and the mushrooms were shoveled away one by one, the old workers who were in charge of selecting the materials would point at them, knock them, and nod their heads in approval.

Then, sawing, planing, chiseling, and shaving...

The result is a straight and heavy keel, which is able to withstand big waves in wind and rain!
Shen Le closed his eyes tightly, and in his meditation world, he carefully observed the shape of the dragon bone: length, width, height, slight curvature, and the way it spread out to both sides.

The construction technology of ancient ships starts with the central keel plate of the bottom of the ship, and gradually nails it to the bottom plates and outer plates on both sides. This central keel plate is particularly important.

During meditation, Shen Le could even see the scene where an ink line was drawn on the keel board to determine the center line.

That center line, after countless processes, after years of the ship's experience of wind and waves, and after being trampled by countless crew members, had long since disappeared in time and could never be seen again.

However, the ancient ship itself remembers, the keel remembers, and even the eerie presence in the cabin, which someone doesn't know whether it is a ghost or something else, also remembers.

Shen Le opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. His fingertips landed on the front of the keel, and he turned it sideways, scratched his nails on it, and moved it to the left, then to the right.

"Zheng Mo!"

He shouted:

"Land here for a while, I'll give you another spot on the opposite side and bounce a line out!"

【okay! 】

The little inkstone flew over excitedly and, according to Shen Le's request, drew a line of ink on the dragon bone.

Shen Le moved the laser level over, aligned it with the keel, and turned on the device:
"Hmm...it does look a bit crooked..."

The center line in the keel's memory and the actual center line of the keel given by the laser level are obviously no longer consistent.

Even if there is only a slight misalignment, this keel needs correction.

"That's right, it requires correction of the disease." On the other side of the screen, the doctoral fellow sent a bunch of information over.

What about "Mechanical Analysis of the Same-mouth Structure of the External Plate End Joint of Ancient Chinese Ships", "Protection and Restoration of Ancient Ships in Heze", "Analysis of Protection Technology of Four Ancient Ships in Penglai"...

Shen Le was really grateful to him for not sending him all the theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, and structural mechanics stuff.

Speaking of which, those who are engaged in the restoration of ancient buildings also need to learn these courses, and they don’t need to start from the beginning again...

"Do you know how to correct the deformity? It's quite simple to say. You just need to restore the moisture to the part that needs correction first—"

He paused and looked left and right. It was obvious that he was looking through the camera at all the equipment in the factory:
"You don't even have a place to process these woods! Why don't you expand the land? All these woods need to absorb water, and then slowly straighten in the process of dehydration, so that they won't break!"

Shen Le could only look at him and smile. He really had no place to dispose of these things. If he really wanted to dispose of them, he would probably have to rent a lumber mill.

The key point is that he hasn't considered whether he should make such a big fuss.

"After the tide returns, we use steel pipes, wooden bricks, wooden wedges, G-shaped clamps and other things to push or press the deformed shipboard back to its original position, and then fix the outer plate with stainless steel screws.

This is a big job, you really don't need help? When we first repaired this ship, there were at least seven or eight of us working together!"

Shen Le smiled. He waved at the screen:
"No problem, I'll think about what to do first. If I really want to help, I won't be polite to you!"

He made a bunch of promises with great confidence, hung up the video, walked around the factory, and chose the smallest piece of shipboard.

This is a thin pad, less than ten centimeters thick, which is considered thin among shipboards;
It must have been placed between the bulkhead and the ribs of the ship, and it had endured tremendous violence, causing it to be greatly twisted and deformed. Fortunately, it had not been completely broken into two pieces.

Shen Le directed the little guys to dig a pool in the corner of the factory, fill it with water, and then directed the vines to put the pads in;
He poured a huge bottle of nutrient solution and watched the green liquid spread in the water, dyeing the entire pool light green.

Then he lay on his stomach by the pool, put one arm in the water, and pressed his fingertips onto the pad:
"Come on, do you still remember what you looked like before... Try it, see if you can absorb these nutrients and grow back to your original appearance..."

In the pool, the green waves moved slightly. The whole piece of wood was first stained with a thin layer of green, and then became wet, wet, and wet little by little.

Shen Le carefully controlled the speed of its transformation, making sure it could not grow roots, branches, and leaves and turn into a big tree on the spot:
This thing is different from the "holy vessels" he repaired in Paris!
Its power is still very weak, and it has been disassembled. It is just a piece of wood. Its spirituality is very weak, and I need to guide it well!

"Ah... When will it grow back? I'm almost paralyzed!"
