Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 67 Moby Dick
"There are several companies in Debsota making etheric ramjet thrusters, such as BRM, CIVA, GD, etc., but who invented it..."

When Yaha said this, he frowned slightly, "Actually, when I had a lot of money, because I planned to build a boat by myself in the future, I also studied this aspect."

Xia Ye nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"But in the end, the answer I found was... until a few years ago, no scholars in Debusota conducted research in this area. The concept of ether ramjet propulsion originally came from the headquarters of "Ether Exploration".

"About two years ago, "Ether Prospecting" called the heads of several large manufacturing plants to hold a meeting with unknown content. A new type of machine that propelled ships at high speeds, the etheric ramjet, appeared for the first time to all eyes."

It seems that there is something insider about this matter?Xia Ye thought to himself.

But whatever.No matter how this thing was invented, as long as it works.What is imminent now is going to sea, hunting whales, and repaying overdrafts.

She looked at Yaha: "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved on this ship?"

Yaha shook his head, his expression couldn't hide his excitement: "This is the best whaling ship I've ever seen."

"Then I have no other opinions." Xia Ye has always adhered to the principle of "Let professional people decide on professional matters".

Chris let out a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

Xia Ye looked at her, and suddenly said: "Your efficiency is higher than I imagined."

This sentence sounds like a compliment at first glance, but it seems to have something else in it.

Chris immediately understood, and she slowly put away her smile: "For this boat, the company has been dug out by me, I hope you can really catch that whale, otherwise, by the end of this month, I can only Find a way to run away."

"Even so, you can take revenge." Xia Ye said.

"But people are always greedy. If possible, of course I hope to get more things." Chris said.Rather than destroying it, she now clearly wants to take back the company.

"It seems that you have a little more confidence in us than last time?"

"She is a very good captain, and now I think what she said is true." Chris pointed at Yaha with her eyes, "The gang of bugs in the company have missed their eyes."

Xia Ye realized that she was a little bit misjudged.Chrissy's almost flattering attitude confused her when she first got in touch with her. Until now, this person's edge was revealed bit by bit.

Thinking about it this way, her soiled hair looks even more obtrusive.

"When I come back from whaling, you can follow me to get a haircut."

"???" Chris couldn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped here.

But Xia Ye has already looked at Yaha: "When do you think you can go to sea the soonest?"

"The day after tomorrow. The first mate, second mate, gunner, lookout... and other crew members have basically been recruited. Hehe, many people were unwilling, but I pulled them over to visit the ship secretly, and all Changed my mind. If we can finish the work tomorrow, we will be on board immediately, and by the evening after tomorrow, we will be able to complete all preparations."

"I suggest you set sail in the middle of the night, so that there will be less noise." Chrissy suggested.

Hearing what she said, Xia Ye couldn't help but wonder how she hid it from the company, but she knew that even if she asked herself now, Chris would not tell the truth.

"Then how about we set sail at 2:[-] midnight the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem." Yaha nodded heavily.

"One more thing." Chris said suddenly.

"what?"

"It's almost a brand new ship. Give it a name. I'll let the workers brush it up." Chris paused, then added: "Everyone says a good name brings good luck."

Xia Ye didn't expect that he could get this honor.She liked the feeling of being able to name the ship without being the real owner of the ship.

She thought about it seriously.

Since it is going out to sea to hunt whales, and it is to hunt a white whale, then it is called...

"Call it 'Moby Dick'." She said a name that was completely unfamiliar to Yaha and Chris.

……

Dinner was grilled tidal spiders and a thick soup made of dome wheat and several vegetables.

Although the tidal spider is called a "spider", it is actually a crab-like creature that is as big as a small washbasin. Lilian carefully peeled off half of the shell of each leg, revealing a golden burnt The meat, just looking at it, makes people feel very appetizing.

Xia Ye grabbed a leg, her lips parted slightly, she tore off a small mouthful very ladylikely, and chewed slowly.

The taste is a bit like crab meat. It is sweet and slightly salty at the same time. The taste is very tender at the beginning, and the toughness of the texture will be felt after chewing twice.Although the tidal spider looks ugly, it tastes surprisingly good.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Xia Ye asked suddenly after swallowing the spider meat.

"Eh?"

Lilian was stunned.If it is Yaha who has already experienced this routine, he will be prepared at this time: when Xia Ye said that, there was bad news to tell her.

"Then... let me hear the good news first..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Ye interrupted her: "Let me tell you the bad news first, so that when you hear the good news, you will feel better."

"Oh, yes, yes." Lilian nodded obediently.

"The bad news is: I'm going to the Ether Sea, and I'm leaving the night after tomorrow." Xia Ye said.

Lilian froze there for a moment.

A few seconds later, the girl's eyes turned red. Although she tried desperately to restrain her emotions, when she opened her mouth, there was still a cry in her voice:
"Xia, sister Xia Ye...are you planning to leave Debusota?"

"No." Xia Ye chuckled and shook his head, "So here's the good news: I just went to help someone hunt a whale, and I'll be back in about two or three weeks."

"what?!"

"What's wrong? Did you think you'd never see me again?" Xia Ye asked with a smile.

"Woo... um... I almost thought that sister Xia Ye was going to leave me." Lilian obviously tried her best not to cry just now, but when she relaxed, the tears slipped out of her eyes, leaving tears on her white and tender cheeks. Under the crystal traces.

Xia Ye took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears, "So after hearing the good news, don't you feel much better?"

"Well...as long as sister Xia Ye doesn't abandon me."

"No, continue eating, this roasted spider leg is really delicious."

"Hee hee... I will do something else, next time I will try it for Sister Xia Ye..."

The two chatted while eating, and when a tidal spider was about to finish eating, Lilian suddenly let out an "ah".

"What's wrong?" Xia Ye asked.

"Well, sister Xia Ye." Lilian narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at her: "You just wanted to tell me that because you have something to go to the Ether Sea, you have to leave for two full weeks, no, three weeks?"

You've finally come to your senses, Xia Ye thought.

"...It's not impossible for you to conclude like this." She said innocently.

But Lilian will no longer be deceived by her: "So! What good news is bad news? It's bad news at all! Fortunately, I was still secretly rejoicing for so long just now, and obviously I always don't go home. Now you have to leave for such a long time all at once, and still play around like I'm an idiot... Sister Xia Ye is big! Bad! Damn!"

Xia Ye tilted her head and looked at the angry Lilian, with an expression of wanting to laugh but embarrassed.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but shift her gaze to her wrist.

There was a number she remembered so well: -9885
Recently, she has been looking at her wrist more and more frequently.

I hope this whaling goes well...otherwise you really won't see me.Xia Ye thought silently.
