Chapter 144 The Counter-Intuitive Conclusion
Curran frowned, which was the expression he showed when he couldn't believe what he heard.

"You mean, you found a whole group of whales, and every whale in the group is about the same size as this white whale?"

"Yes, and they are all white." Xia Ye added with a smile.

"How many whales are there in that group?"

"8-9 articles."

"Then, I think you're lying, Miss Summer Night." Curran shook his head slowly.

"why?"

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can also guess how dangerous this huge beluga whale is, but you said that you encountered 8-9 of these whales. If what you said is true, I don't think so at all. You can come back alive, let alone kill the whale in a siege and drag its carcass back."

"When we found this whale, it was alone, and the whale group was about 100 nautical miles away from it." Xia Ye explained, "However, you are right, Chairman Curran, even then, we would not have been able to Escaping from the pursuit of the whales..."

"but?"

"It's not 'but'." Xia Ye smiled, "It's 'therefore'. Therefore——I used a little unusual method to allow us to escape the pursuit of the whales."

"..." Curran looked at her without saying a word.

"you do not believe?"

Xia Ye had foreseen this situation in advance, and if Ke Lun still didn't believe it, she had no choice but to ask Tang Li to replay the scene of the whales appearing to Ke Lun through the illusion.

But Curran's answer was beyond her expectation: "No, I believe what you said, Miss Xiaye."

As she spoke, she pressed on the back of the prosthetic hand.With a "click", a small screen popped up, Curran turned the screen around, and Xia Ye saw that there was a number on the screen: 99.

"99 means that the probability of 99% is the truth. My prosthetic hand integrates the function of a lie detection contract. Although the number of times it can be used is very limited, and each time it can only detect one sentence, but at critical times, it is still Very useful." Curran smiled.

Xia Ye faintly felt that he had been tricked: "Which sentence did you lie to me? The sentence 'Every whale in the whale group is a white whale of the same size as it'?"

"of course not."

Curran picked up the table knife with his prosthetic hand, cut off a piece of whale meat, and put it in his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he said unhurriedly:
"What I tested was this sentence-'I used a little uncommon means to allow us to escape the pursuit of the whales'."

"..." Sure enough, she was tricked, Xia Ye thought helplessly.

"This sentence is actually true, not a bluff." Ke Lun stared at her, "Miss Xia Ye, it seems that I underestimated your strength before."

You didn't underestimate before, but now you overestimate, Xia Ye thought to himself, because the content of the "crack" contract has changed.

Forget it... Whether it's an underestimation or an overestimation, as long as it's not an accurate estimate, it's not a bad thing for me.

"I thought we could be a little more honest." She carefully kept her expression "angry, but not terribly angry."

"This is my frankness, Miss Xia Ye." Curen said, "I could have kept silent, but I told you frankly. It is good for both of us to know the opponent's strength accurately, because then In the end, the possibility of our cooperation is far greater than that of confrontation."

"I hope this is a truth." Xia Ye said.

"It's true, I promise."

Although Curen's assurances could not add any credibility, Xia Ye did not pursue the matter any further, and she returned to the previous topic:

"In conclusion, what I want to tell you is this: we have not encountered one beluga whale, but a pod."

Chris, who hadn't spoken all this time, finally spoke at this time: "Could it be that there is something near that sea area that can cause whales to mutate, that is, it makes these whales mutate into beluga whales?"

"Then we were lucky enough to meet this group of white whales?" Xia Ye asked with a smile.

"..." Chris was silent, and of course she knew that explanations attributed to coincidence or accident were often wrong explanations.

"You want to say...all the whales in the waters west of the West Islands are this kind of beluga?" When Chris said this, she felt her heart beating.

"Not bad, and I want to go a step further in my conjecture."

"What is it?"

"I think those beluga whales are not special mutated whales. They are the same species as these 'little whales' living near Debusota, but they are what the 'little whales' look like when they grow up."

Xia Ye explained her complete speculation in detail.She had only told Yaha about this speculation before, but now, Curran and Chris became the second and third people who heard it.

After listening, they fell into a long silence.

Regardless of Curen or Chris, the first thing they thought of was the same thing——

"Miss Xia Ye, if your speculation is correct, then, isn't the 'voyage ship' back then..." Curran couldn't continue when he said this.

Chris picked up her words: "Didn't you fall on the eve of success?"

Xia Ye glanced at the two people with complex expressions, and nodded: "I think so. Actually, I have always been curious about the exploration of the etheric sea, how do you view the relationship between the scope of exploration and the benefits of exploration?"

Chris and Curran looked at each other.

“It is positively correlated. However, exploration risk is equally positively correlated with scope.

"Moreover, as the scope of exploration increases, the growth rate of risks is far greater than the growth rate of benefits. That is to say, from a statistical point of view, the deeper the ether sea, the lower the Moore net income that can be obtained , after reaching a certain threshold, this net income may even become negative.” The person who answered was Chris.

If Ke Lun said that, Xia Ye might not be so strange, but she didn't expect that even Chris thought so.

"Why do you think so?" Xia Ye asked curiously.

This time, it was Ke Lun who answered: "This is what we learned at Bavaria Academy. Miss Xia Ye, in fact, the question you asked was studied by scholars a long time ago. This conclusion was finally reached after a series of complex modeling and calculations based on the experience of Debusota’s Traveling Witch and our understanding of the etheric sea.”

"But, don't you think this conclusion is counter-intuitive?" Xia Ye frowned.

Curran shook his head slightly: "It depends on what is 'intuition'. For those of us who were born in the lower city, the conclusion learned at Bavaria College is in line with intuition. After all, if this conclusion is Wrong, then why have only powerful traveling witches been able to travel in the etheric sea for so many years?"
