Evolution: Start AS A Raft

The system's answer made him full of anticipation.

The large and small timbers behind his butt quickly began to move independently.

These timbers were all treated, but the system re-sanded and polished the planks in the spirit of excellence. All of them looked brand new after being re-treated.

A long keel is quickly formed, and the keel (the main bottom bearing timber), the hull, the rudder, and the side planks are quickly shaped, placed, and put together to form the ship in seconds.

The planks are joined together using a traditional woodworking technique called mortise and tenon, which principle is to combine concave and convex parts of the two planks together.

This craft technique does not require nails but is stronger than nails and can be disassembled. The only drawback is the complexity of the design and process. But with the help of the system, this difficulty does not exist at all.

At this point, Raine's heart was pounding with the system's busyness, and he couldn't help but marvel on the sidelines, "Holy... it's breathtaking! System, I suspect you'd earn much if you went to work as a carpenter.“

The system continues to be busy ...

"Look at this wood treatment, tsk tsk, like new ah. And this wood grain looks particularly comfortable."

"The hull's lines are nice too. It has a sense of flow. Eh, this can reduce wind resistance. Aaah, that place, what's it called, anyway, eh, great!"

......

Somehow, the system surprisingly finished ahead of schedule, and a brand new plank boat appeared in front of Raine.

If it had been any slower, Raine would probably have been bleeping on the sidelines for a long time.

The boat was small, about two meters in length. It is about the same length as Raine's raft, about seventy centimeters wide and looks narrow.

The entire hull has a certain curvature that makes the boat's interior a grooved appearance. The bow and stern are not decorated in anything particular, except the planks are a little thicker.

For a wooden boat, this one has no bottom cavity, and its bottom plate is the boat's deck. It is definitely easy to get to the top of the shabby list.

But Raine doesn't care about that. He's pretty excited right now.

Dude! What could be more shabby than a raft with three pieces of bamboo? Nothing, absolutely nothing! This is an epic super-evolution!

"Hey, hey, hey, don't destroy it. It's nice to keep it!"

Raine found that his perspective instantly shifted from the bamboo raft to the wooden boat. All the items on the raft, water purification equipment, miscellaneous items, White, and even the fish skin ropes tied to the bamboo were all smoothly transferred to the wooden boat.

In a moment, the transfer was complete.

When the items landed on Raine's body, the boat sank a little significantly.

When Raine looked back, the raft had disappeared into the air.

"Ah, my bamboo! Wouldn't it be great for a mast?"

The system had stopped making noises. Without someone talking, Raine was finally quiet, "At least that AI system was funny. Now, this is a machine with no humor at all. Forget it. Get to business."

"Basic information menu!"

The load capacity had changed from the previous 43.9kg to 37.3 kg. At first, Raine thought he had lost something, but then it occurred to him that it was impossible to lose something. It must be the loss of moisture in those clothes that made the total weight a little lighter.

Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was that his load limit increased from 50kg to 300kg in one go, six times more than before!

"Now my most important task is to collect materials. The load capacity is very important. 300 kg load capacity means I can fit 15 Whites, cool!"

"Something else not shown here yet. Now I have a rudder and no more twisting and turning when controlling the direction!"

"It's just that the bottom of the boat is still a bit worrying. Even if the system is unbelievably crafted with seamless mortise and tenon joints for the bottom, the wood will rot when immersed in seawater for a long time... It looks like I have to find a way to wrap the bottom."

"Okay, I have so many more supplies. Before, it never showed what I could build. Probably level is not enough. Now let me see!"

Raine wanted to mull it some more. Still, after a hard work day and too much excitement, he completed a consciousness transfer. After those, Raine couldn't hold it up a bit. His consciousness began to struggle gradually.

The night on the sea was particularly tantalizing, the water gently swaying his body. He was becoming accustomed to this sensation, this feeling just like he was lying in his mother's arms and sleepiness swept him.

He glanced dazedly at White, who was sound asleep and uneasily went back to check the water purification equipment, finding that it had been stocked with drinking water, which made he was reassuring finally.

"The Azure Era? The Age of the Great Voyage?" Raine smiled slightly, although he wouldn't laugh either... eventually he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

........................

He doesn't know how long he slept, but before it was fully light, Raine was woken up by the system.

"Fuck you! Why don't you go and become a fucking alarm clock!"

Raine was speechless, he opened his eyes in a daze, and his brain finally started to work.

"Timber and humans? What, humans!" Raine was suddenly awake. He was unexpectedly very nervous when he heard the word "human".

"How many humans?"

"One human?" Raine breathed a small sigh of relief. He wasn't too afraid of one person.

"Nah, what the hell are 0.2 units of timber? There are more shabby ships than me? It can't be."

Raine at least had looked at the system's boat-building process and roughly imagined that 0.2 units of wood were just a small plank. It's definitely not a boat.

Curious coincidence, the current seemed to keep drifting in that direction. Surprisingly it didn't deviate from its course, and about a hundred meters in, Raine could see a small black dot rising and falling in the distance by the faint light.

"Falling into the sea?" Raine finally understood. The guy fell overboard and floats on the sea surface just with a plank.

"Is there anyone? Anyone? Please help me. I can't hold on much longer... " a weak woman clung to a plank and dimly saw a wooden boat coming towards her in the distance.
