Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 477 Subsea Drilling
While everyone was talking, Cattleya walked out of the captain's room. She crossed the people on the deck and came to Nina's side and asked:
"Are you ready?"

"Captain, we need to wait a while, the bottle of Nipos I just opened is not finished yet."

While talking, Nina held Paz and walked to the cabin on the other side.

Cattleya nodded towards Nina, then her eyes fell on Klein, and she carefully considered her words and explained to him:
"Someone discovered a relic that is said to be from the Quaternary Period on the seabed here. We plan to take a look at it along the way."

Frank pulled out a basket of fresh sea fish from the cabin. He looked at the people gathered on the deck with excitement and shouted loudly:

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, does any of you need a drink? Here we have red wine, milk, coffee, and renzi."

The crew members of the "Future" who were still gathered together quickly dispersed as if they were frightened. They loudly discussed embarrassing topics in twos and threes and stayed away from Frank.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Frank had no choice but to turn his attention to Renekton and the others who were still on the side of the boat. He dragged the basket of fresh fish over and walked over.

"Captain, do you need coffee? It's pure coffee, it will be a little bitter, but I also have milk here, you can mix it with it and drink it."

Frank enthusiastically promoted the drink he made to Cattleya.

Cattleya pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose without any expression and said in a calm tone:
"No, it's still morning, no need for coffee to wake you up."

Frank took out two silver phosphorus fish that were still twisting from behind, handed them to Cattleya and said, "There is milk and red wine here too!"

Did he do it on purpose, or did he really not see that everyone on this ship was resisting what he created?

Klein looked at the silver phosphorus fish held tightly in Frank's hand, and suddenly thought of what Renekton said before, fish that can grow when planted in the soil. Could these be fish planted in the soil, right? It looks no different from the fish in the sea. Does "cultivator" mean that anything can be grown from the soil?

Frank glanced at Klein, who had been staring at the fish in his hand. As if he understood something, he smiled suddenly, put two more fish in front of Klein and said:
"Gehrman, do you want to give it a try?"

Looking at the fish being handed to him, Klein pursed his lips stiffly and said, "No, thank you."

"Is this also the fish you planted last night?"

Renekton reached out curiously and took a fish from Frank's hand. His right index finger floated with stars, and he lightly scratched the belly of the fish.

Dark red liquid instantly flowed out of the fish's body, with a faint smell of wine and fish.

Renekton took a little bit of the dark red liquid with his fingers, then put it on his lips to taste it. The taste of red wine was very strong, with a fishy smell unique to fish.

He smacked his lips twice, as if tasting them carefully, and then said:

"Is it Sunya blood wine?"

"Yes! This is my treasure."

"The red wine in the restaurant this morning was the Sunya blood wine I specially provided. Those guys were very happy to drink it."

Frank smiled and nodded proudly, as if he had done something extraordinary.

Renekton saw that the expression on Klein's face suddenly froze. He looked at the fish in Renekton's hand that was still dripping with wine with some complicated eyes, as if he wanted to crush it with his eyes.

Renekton turned his head and glanced at Klein, who was staring at the fish in his hand. A lilac color flashed in his eyes, directly reflecting the message he wanted to convey into his mind:

Frank has always been in charge of the restaurant on the "Future", which is also where he holds food tasting events. Well, there usually won't be any problems. Even if there is, Frank himself is the best doctor on the "Future".

Klein raised his head sharply and stared directly into Renekton's eyes, as if to say: Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?

Renekton shrugged, threw the fish in his hand into the sea, then turned to look at Frank, and said in a calm voice:
"It has a faint fishy smell, which really affects the taste."

Frank nodded with a serious face, wrote down the feedback given by Renekton, and then said:

"There is no way around it. I replaced the blood in the blood vessels of these fish. This will improve their nutrition, but it will also inevitably be contaminated with some fishy smell."

"I don't have time to solve this problem right now. I will solve this problem after I master the technology of crossing cows, sugar and coffee."

"I think your suggestion is very meaningful. Squeeze a cup of brewed hot coffee directly from the cow. This will save a lot of unnecessary steps."

No, I think these steps are necessary. I feel that by the time I step off the "Future", I may no longer be able to look directly at things like cows and coffee.

Klein sighed in his heart and glared at Renekton cryptically. "The Future" is really lucky to have a crew like you, Cattleya.

The corner of Renekton's mouth twitched. He could already feel Cattleya's complicated gaze on him. If this continues, Frank and I would be at risk of being thrown off the boat at any time.

Sighing in his heart, Renekton looked at Frank, who was still describing his thoughts, and interrupted:

"Frank, don't you find it inconvenient to use a cow?"

"You can completely modify the coffee tree so that it no longer produces fruit, but sap wrapped in a thick shell, which is a mixture of coffee, milk and sugar. And growing trees is much easier than raising cows."

Frank thought seriously for a moment and nodded: "This is a good suggestion. I have studied mushrooms that can produce milk before. I only need to make some changes to graft this feature onto trees."

Nina, wearing a tight-fitting black garment made of fish skin, smelled of alcohol, walked over from the cabin and said to Cattleya:

"Captain, do you want to start now?"

The somewhat foul size of her chest made the pirates on the surrounding decks completely unable to take their eyes away and wanted to put their eyes on her chest.

After taking a deep look at Frank and Renekton, Cattleya turned her head to Nina and nodded gently:

"start."

As soon as she landed, Nina had strode to the side of the ship. With a strong push of her right hand on the side of the ship, her body went directly over the side of the ship and fell into the sea. Like a flexible fish, she quickly jumped into the deep sea.

Renekton turned his head and looked deep into the cabin of the "Future" as if he felt something. He quickly looked back and said to Cattleya and Klein:
"I got up too early today. I'm going to my room to catch up on my sleep. If you find anything, remember to wake me up."

After saying that, he walked straight to the cabin, but did not return to his room. Instead, he followed his intuition and walked deeper into the cabin.

After walking down several levels of the cabin, suddenly there were thick green vines hanging down from the surrounding area. They covered the surrounding area like a heavy rain, entwining and intertwining into a green forest, with layers upon layers, with no end in sight.

Bernadette, who had long chestnut hair and a tall figure, suddenly appeared in front of Renekton.

She was wearing an Intis-style shirt with large lace flowers at the neckline, an indigo patterned captain's suit, off-white trousers and boots that were close to her knees, and a tricorn hat with a feather on her head. Like the leader of a pirate ship.

This was probably the outfit that best suited her image of the "Queen of Mysteries". Sighing in his heart, Renekton slightly bent his back and saluted the other party and said hello:
"Good morning, Ms. Bernadette."

Bernadette nodded politely and distantly, and asked in a flat voice:
"When you return to the Future at this time, do you want to go to the ruins of the God War? Or do you want to go to other places through there?"

"Maybe a little bit of both."

Renekton didn't wonder how the other party knew that the ruins of the God War might be connected to a certain place, and simply responded.

Bernadette didn't seem to care much about Renekton's answer. She looked deeply at the ground woven with emerald green vines. Her sight seemed to penetrate through layers of barriers and see the deep and dark seabed.

After a brief moment of silence, she spoke in a deep voice:

"The ruins on the seabed are very unusual. The higher the sequence, the greater the danger."

"The ruins have obvious traces of human activities, or other civilizations similar to human beings, but its history is so ancient that I can't see through it. A long time ago, there may have been a civilization here, one that was good at smelting steel. A civilization that makes machines.”

"I noticed the complex and strong emotions in your eyes when you looked at the seabed before. I can't decipher that emotion, but that state is somewhat similar to when my father was in a daze."

After Bernadette finished speaking to herself, she fell silent. She didn't ask any questions and made no unnecessary movements. Her eyes looked deeply at her feet, as if she was watching the strange and dangerous deep-sea ruins from a distance.

After remaining silent for a while, Renekton suddenly spoke:

"Is it because you haven't been looking for the last tomb left by your father because George III of Loen is about to be promoted to Black Emperor?"

"This is part of the reason, but the main reason is that I made some prophecies when I was promoted to sage. Among them, Cattleya will go to the ruins of the God War now. Your prophecies are not included in my prophecies. Appear."

"She was too confident and ignored the impact of that sea area on Heath Doyle on her ship. This would have irreversible consequences for them. Except for your friend who has many secrets, it would be difficult for the others to survive. Come down."

Bernadette spoke in a calm voice about her prophecy and some kind of future that the "Future" might encounter.

It turned out to be the worry of the old mother. Renekton cursed in his heart, and then changed the subject:
"The drilling well on the seabed goes straight to the depths of the earth's core, and to a certain extent connects to the 'Sea of ​​Chaos' deep in the earth's core."

"Drilling? Is that your direct transliteration of the word? What does it mean?"

Bernadette nodded slightly. Instead of asking about the Sea of ​​Chaos, she asked about drilling.

Because there is no oil at all underground in this world, and there is naturally no drilling. When communicating with Bernadette, Renekton simply pieced together an Intis word according to its pronunciation.

After thinking about his words for a moment, he simply explained:

"It's probably a very, very deep well used to mine something buried deep underground."

Bernadette nodded slightly and did not continue to ask questions about drilling. She looked down at her feet with a solemn gaze. After a moment, she reached forward with her right hand and grabbed a bright and indifferent eye made of starlight from the void. .

This eye was cast casually by her, and like an illusory thing, it easily passed through the forest woven with green vines, passed through the cabin of the "Future" and the cold water, and landed on Ni who was exploring the bottom of the sea. On Na.

At the bottom of the sea, Nina, who was wrapped in the cold water, felt that her thoughts suddenly became much clearer. She hesitated for a while looking at the wellhead in front of her that even children could not pass. There seemed to be something slowly calling in the dark well. She, but this feeling was not strong and she resisted it easily.

Then she randomly found a few rocks from around and threw them down. After confirming that there was no response, she picked up a metal bar that had no original appearance and a piece of black hard soil covered with honeycombs nearby, and headed back to the sea. Swim away.

At the invisible back of her head, a blue, cold and indifferent eye without eyelashes blinked twice, and then turned into little stars and disappeared.
