Chapter 90: The Belated Wandering Island

"Attention! At ease, right face!"
"Tap tap tap..."
Under the scorching sun, Lin Feng was training the selected guards with his straw hat.
He learned all these drills from his military training in college.
Stand at attention, march in step, assemble, and so on, all these commands were taught to the soldiers one by one.
As the most rigorous in training, they also enjoyed the best food.
Beef, vegetables, fruits, whatever is nutritious, they eat.
As for other ordinary sailors, they can only rely on canned meat for intelligent equator lunch, and vegetables can only be eaten at fixed times.
As for fruits, only those who work hard can have them.
Such a comparison makes the soldiers in the military camp even more enviable to the crowd.
Looking at the midday sun, Lin Feng felt that the morning training was also almost done. He then gave the order to dismiss.
“At ease, rest for half an hour and then have dinner, dismissed.”
Hearing that they could rest, the fifty trainees shivered all over, finally able to rest.
Immediately afterwards, they scattered to find shade and drink water to rest.
But Lin Feng ended the team's training and leisurely went to the shipyard to check the situation.
No. 170 people are constantly dismantling and adding new items on the ship at this moment.
With the acceleration of one hundred and seventy people, the five-day manufacturing time can be completed in just two days...
Oops, I mean, the upgrade work can be completed in just sixteen hours.
Lin Feng also tried to increase the number of people to accelerate, but after reaching 170 people, the acceleration time did not shorten any further.
It seems that there is also a limit to the number of people accelerating, so it is unlikely that he will be able to complete the work in just one day.
At this time, a large part of the outer hull of the battleship has been covered with iron plates, and circles of rivets secure the plates to the ship.
Inside the ship, a large amount of dismantled waste is being removed, and at the same time, a large amount of new materials are being added.
Looking at the transformed warship, Lin Feng was very satisfied.
After a simple patrol, he returned to the island to check the progress of the other sailors' work.
As an important core area, the buildings and equipment on the island are all very important.
In the first batch of anti-seepage embankment construction, Lin Feng planned to settle on a small island.
However, with only a 200-meter long embankment in hand, it is still somewhat difficult to surround the island.
However, looking at the raised earth mounds between the two islands, Lin Feng came up with a new idea.
All we need to do is to set the dam in the areas with gentle terrain, and in the more complex earth mound areas, just fill them with a thick layer of mud, which can also serve as a certain moisture-proof effect.
With this plan in place, Lin Feng found that a 200-meter dam would be just enough to enclose the entire island.
However, the materials collected so far are not enough to build the entire dam, so the sailors will have to temporarily dig and build some corresponding earth walls to cope for the time being.
After a simple patrol, Lin Feng came to the farmland to check the germination of the seeds.
The first batch of maize sown has been growing for four or five days, and now the stem part is already about a meter tall.
At the same time, many spikes have also grown at the top, indicating that the rhythm of bearing fruit is about to come.
And the other seeds have basically developed after two or three days, and have sprouted and are growing stronger and stronger.
Such rapid growth is extremely abnormal.
Lin Feng even took two more seeds and tried planting them in the nearby soil.
But it has been a day or two and there is no sign of sprouting.
According to the speed of sowing in the farmland, this should have already sprouted.
The comparison between the two confirms to Lin Feng that this farmland has the characteristic of accelerating crop growth.
He used to wonder why there were buildings like farmland, but now he understands.
If you were to plant these seeds in this barren land according to the normal plant growing speed.
When he's gone, these plants may possibly sprout and yield fruits.
The effect of the farmland is very important to Lin Feng. Without these two patches of farmland, it looks like he'll have to collect a large amount of farmland to plant crops in the future.
After finishing the daily inspection work, Lin Feng returned to the military camp to prepare for assigning new learning tasks to Haixing.
During the construction and development period, Lin Feng's daily life was very ordinary.
Training, patrolling the island, arranging work, discussing details, and then the day passed just like that.
……
Fourth day after the island collision.
According to the 'normal' situation, today should have been the appearance day of the fifth round of the drifting island.
But this day is the same as usual, with no trace of the drifting island.
Lin Feng, who woke up naturally, thought he had woken up early today and could get up before the appearance of the wandering island.
But after getting up, washing up and checking, he found that where is the wandering island?
Where did such a big wandering island go?
Quickly entered the chat and forum to check the situation, sure enough, the situation of the deserted island also appeared in other people's posts.
Looking at the sea, Lin Feng frowned slightly, this is not a good sign.
According to the pattern we have observed recently, the drifting island appears once every three days.
However, on the day of impact, it appears once every four days.
Today should already be the fourth day after the impact, could it be that the drifting island is running late?
After circling the island and not finding any trace of a floating island on the sea surface.
With no results from the patrol, Lin Feng immediately returned to the camp and dispatched a small team to lead a group of sailors in conducting island reconnaissance work.
The stray island that didn't show up on time made Lin Feng wary.
This is not a good sign. If this thing suddenly comes running over in the middle of the night, there will be trouble.
In order to get the latest updates from the surroundings, Lin Feng has strengthened the patrol and security work on the island.
If the island does not appear today, will the treasure chest that was originally not supposed to appear today still show up?
The answer to this question can only be revealed after noon.
The suddenly heightened alertness of the crowd did not know what had happened for a while, but still obediently followed Lin Feng's instructions to enter the alertness work.
Work for half a day, rest for half a day, and prepare yourself well.
Until around one or two in the afternoon, the appearance of the treasure chest at sea made Lin Feng slightly relieved.
It looks like there won't be any islands appearing today.
This is a fixed rule, with a treasure chest, there will be no wandering island, with a wandering island, there will be no treasure chest.
However, now the appearance time of the wandering island has changed, and Lin Feng cannot guarantee that this rule still applies.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to keep the island on high alert and be wary of potential dangers.
By nightfall, there was still no sign of the stray on the deserted island. Lin Feng doubled the night security measures to stay on high alert.
……
This state of alert had lasted for three days, until the early morning of the seventh day after the second island collision.
Three alert siren blasts sounded on the island.
