Even though Wen Lin was wearing the simplest linen burqa, her every move still carried a certain charming quality, like a truly ancient and noble aristocrat.

There is a fundamental difference from the arrogant and hypocritical nobles of the capital.

He always lowered his posture unconsciously.

Wen Lin thought about it for a while, and after thinking of a set of words, she replied to Hanvers,

"No, a qualified captain should know enough about her boat. I would like to take this opportunity to see how different parts of the boat are constructed differently."

The boathouse was ahead. Humphreys tightened the reins and jokingly jumped off the carriage, "To be honest, you are more like a scholar,"

Wen Lin followed. The boathouse was simpler than she had imagined, but the site was very large. The fence made of gravel blocks almost included half of the low hill. A scuppering vessel that appears to have been tentatively completed.

After walking in, you can see that each area has its own division of labor. On the far left is a pile of thick logs. If you continue to walk forward, you can see the vague outline of the ship on the right.

After taking a few more glances, Wen Lin determined that this is the basic structure of a typical western-style ship, with keel, ribs and skin.

The steward of the shipyard saw that it was Hanvers and quickly took the group to the place where the wreckage was stored.

Not many parts were salvaged, most of which were only half of the masts, decks, and partitions that were burned.

The group carefully checked again and found nothing special.

They looked at Wen Lin, who was flipping the small pieces of debris, and even complained about Hanvers.

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, can you tell us what you found? If you find nothing, isn't it a waste of our time?"

With a deep frown, Hanvers' face suddenly turned cold.

"Everyone, I invited Your Excellency Wen Lin to help find clues. If you think this is a waste of time, please tell me, have you found any useful clues in the past ten days?"

The officials who followed were all the old nobles of the royal capital, and they always looked down on Hanvers, who was a commoner.

Usually, Hanfus' temper is still restrained, and he will not be very strong in front of the old nobles.

It was the first time for him to ask a face-shaking question like this today, and they were so frightened that they stopped talking.

But the sarcastic eyes always fell on Wen Lin, and they exchanged glances, as if waiting for Wen Lin to collapse.

Kacha, Wen Lin suddenly took out a knife, cut off a section of the mast, picked up the small piece of wood and walked towards Hanvers,

"If I read correctly, the hulls of the two ships are made of sturdy but flammable sapwood. I remember that the sapwood species is native to the Berber principality. I don't know if this clue is useful to you. ,"

As soon as Wen Lin's voice fell, someone immediately jumped out to refute,

"Speaking of lies, it is obviously oak, Your Excellency, do you think we are all blind?"

Hanvers frowned, looked at Wen Lin, and was equally puzzled, "Sumu? But when we checked, we found that it was oak,"

Holding the small piece of wood in his hand, Humphreys re-determined the color and smell of the wood.

Although the wood is cheap, because of its flammable properties, if it is used for shipbuilding, it must be coated with a layer of denim oil, and the price of denim oil is comparable to gold.

Businessmen use it to make exquisite warship models.

Wen Lin smiled meaningfully, "Mr. Humphries, sometimes we can't distinguish things with our eyes alone, it's no different from being blind,"

Without selling out, Wen Lin pointed out directly,

"Put the wood and oak together in sea water for two months, then apply tung oil and expose it to the sun. Repeatedly during this period, the color and smell of the wood will become very close to oak."

"Ridiculous, what do you say? Never heard such a strange statement,"

Seemingly grabbing Wen Lin's sore foot, several other people couldn't wait to refute her.

There was too much noise in her ears, Wen Lin frowned lightly, her eyes were cold, and when she moved her hand, the long knife came out, nailed straight to the wooden wall, making a sharp trembling sound.

Several people suddenly restrained their voices, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

After Wen Lin looked away, they touched their necks in a panic, and there seemed to be bursts of coolness wiping them against their necks just now.

Ugly is over.

A bit of disgust flashed across Humphus' face. These people were all stuffed in by the old nobles to ask for news, and it was difficult for Humphers to refuse.

Not only is it useless, but it adds chaos everywhere.

Proper waste.

After her ears were cleared, Wen Lin completely ignored them. She walked to Hanvers' side and pointed to the small circle of annual rings in the center of the horizontal plane.

"You can go to verify, cut the thicker mast transversely, and you will find the jagged tree rings in the center,"

"The growth rings of oak are all regular circles, only the innermost ring of the sapwood is sawn.

toothed,"

This was a very useful clue, and Humphreys immediately asked the servants to verify it.

After getting a positive answer, he exclaimed, "Your Excellency Wen Lin, your profound knowledge is impressive,"

Wen Lin smiled and said nothing.

Hanvers, who found the clues as he wished, could hardly wait to return to the city, but Wen Lin wanted to stay and visit.

Hanvers carefully instructed the stewards here, and left a carriage,

Before leaving, he said with sincerity, "Miss Wenlin, Her Majesty Vicia is a monarch worthy of allegiance,"

"She is kind and merciful. I came from a commoner. She gave countless people like me the opportunity to look up at the sky, including pirates, of course."

"Your outstanding knowledge and talent will definitely win a place in Golan, even if you are a woman,"

If it wasn't for Hanvers being too emotional, Wen Lin would have praised him as a qualified vassal and never forget to recruit talents for the Queen.
