The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 404 The boss asked me to go to Southeast Asia? Boss, help me!!!

Shen Le felt like he was going crazy.

Lying down for one minute is not a problem, and lying down for ten minutes is not uncomfortable either. How about trying lying down for half an hour?
Even a paralyzed patient has to be turned over every two hours, otherwise he will get hemorrhoids - no, he will get bedsores!
Not to mention, his body was tilted, with one arm in the water, in this twisted and deformed posture...

I felt that the arm in the water was numb, my shoulder was numb too, and the part that was pressing on the ground felt something was wrong.

Shen Le had no choice but to communicate with the wooden board, controlling it to grow in the same direction, while trying to mobilize the heat in his dantian. One turn, two turns...

After turning seven or eight times, he finally felt relaxed. He closed his eyes slightly, trying to focus more, and bent his fingers, moving them a little bit away from the board.

Very good, we can still communicate!
Move away a little more!
Clench your palm into a fist, about ten centimeters away from the wooden board in the water...

In this way, the distance is widened little by little, and little by little, from direct contact to contact with mental power.

After a long while, he finally broke away from the water, pulled his arm out of the water, and sat upright on the edge:
That’s great. If this can be done, I won’t have to lie in the water all the time and I can control it remotely!

He meditated by the water for a full hour. The wooden planks in the water went from dry to moist, from moist to revitalized, and from revitalized to stretched out.

Finally, a vague response came from the meditation world:

【alright……】

Ok?
Visually it has indeed improved, it looks smoother and less distorted than before. But considering the refraction of water, it is not very accurate to visually judge whether it has improved.

Shen Le raised his hand and waved it. Seven or eight vines hung down from the air, picked up the wooden board from the pool, and placed it on the shelf next to it:
"Zheng Mo, measure it and see if it's the right size!"

Shen Le called out, and stood up to carry the scanner. Both sides reported data:

[Not good! Still a little bit behind! ]

"It's not completely healed...it still needs a little curvature and needs correction..."

The way the board looks after it is stretched out is the way it looked when it was first untied and sawn, not the way it looked after it was straightened into shape!

All right... Shen Le rolled up his sleeves, looked up books, papers, and calculations, then picked up steel pipes, wooden bricks, wooden wedges, G-shaped clamps, and started working on the task.

I pushed, pressed, and clamped it for a long time and was sweating all over.

It was only with the help of vines and bamboos that he was able to tackle such a troublesome task alone. Otherwise, he would have to rent a factory!

Shen Le was so busy that he had to work for a long time before he finished fixing the board. He sat down on the wooden frame and pounded his shoulders, arms, and legs for a long time before he stood up and made a list:

If all curved wood needs to be straightened, the number of straightening tools he has here will definitely not be enough.

He had to buy or rent a batch of tools, calculate the number of tools, and place an order in advance...

Crackling, crackling. Shen Le made tables, listed formulas, and checked books. It took him half a day to calculate the number of tools.

Pause and start a new round of calculation:
These broken boards should be repaired with the same materials as the original ones. The camphor, borneol, hard slope and soft slope should be calculated and purchased one by one in advance:
If you wait until the last minute to buy something, not only will it delay the construction period, but you won’t be able to buy good things during emergency shopping!
He checked the "Records of Longjiang Shipyard", Yu Dayou's "Recent Events on the Sea", "Records of Southern Ships", various papers, and the information thrown to him by his doctoral senior.

As he checked, he compared the scanned images of the hull and parts that were projected by the compass and input into the computer, and calculated and estimated them one by one.

By the way, we also need to work backwards from the parts to the raw materials, estimating the size of the wood, diameter, length, etc. These hardwoods are very expensive now, right?

It's because I'm rich now, the Special Affairs Bureau has several hundred million in its account, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy it...

He calculated and checked it hard, and then heaved a long sigh. After calculating the materials, he realized how much wood was needed to build a ship. Just to patch up these holes, he would have to cut down at least 20 or 30 trees.

By the way, are some trees protected species in China?

Should we allow imports?
No matter what, let's throw the task out first...

"Old You!" Shen Le started to make a phone call:

"It's like this, I'm repairing a boat and I need these pieces of wood, can you help me find them?

Whether it’s the Special Affairs Bureau or some other place, please ask around for me. If it’s available in China, buy it in China. If it’s not available in China, you’ll have to go abroad…”

"No problem, boss! I'll get it done as soon as possible!"

Lao You was full of energy. Hey, there was work again, and the boss ordered him to work again.

If he helps run errands a few more times, might he be able to set up home in the boss's mansion?
Even if that's not possible, the Special Affairs Bureau has already bought the land next to the boss's mansion and is starting construction, intending to renovate the place and turn it into a laboratory area without changing the exterior of the house.

He could at least make a home in that lab!

It’s also the boss’s territory!

Lao You quickly sent the form to the Special Affairs Bureau. Not long after, calls came in one after another:
"What Mr. Shen wants is a little difficult! Most of these woods are not produced in China, and we don't have any in stock here!"

"I've asked around, and several branch warehouses are out of stock! This request is too extreme. If you just want a piece of golden nanmu, we can still think of a way!"

"Some of them are protected species. For example, this slope fortress was specially fenced off by the Forestry Bureau and planted for decades before it grew into a two-meter-tall tree! The breast diameter is less than 0.2!"

Fine.

Lao You had been prepared for both situations. He went to ask the Special Affairs Bureau, not because he expected them to get the goods, but mainly because he wanted them to give the green light for import:

If he buys wood abroad and it gets stuck at customs, whose property will it belong to?

Anyway, ivory, tortoise shells, rhino horns and the like will definitely be stuck at customs, but Lao You has no idea whether precious woods will be stuck.

I have contacted the Special Affairs Bureau in advance. You don't have the stock. You want me to find a way to buy it myself? If you block me again, that's too much!

After a round of communication, Lao You spread his wings and flew south. He also had quite a few friends outside, such as swifts, wild geese, and other long-distance migratory bird demons, and he could always find someone he could talk to.

Introduce one by one, contact one by one, from the bird demon to the tree demon, contact the local monsters, get some wood, simple!
It only took Lao You seven or eight days to travel around the Southeast Asian countries, see the wood with his own eyes, and place an order.

Shen Le was very pleased when he received the information and was just waiting for the goods to clear customs.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't receive any notification of delivery, but I received Lao You's call for help:
"Boss, help!!!"
