Master a little skill every day

When he was still more than 1000 meters away from the bottom of the sea, Bai Miao saw mighty mermaids coming from all directions.

They carry a lot of metal products, and they seem to want to build a metal cover here.

And each mermaid carries a small stone that emits light blue light, which is used as a tiny light source.

Bai Miao was thinking about how to communicate with these mermaids in the water, but he found that these mermaids seemed to be staring at him.

Then Bai Miao saw a mermaid making a few gestures towards him, and then put his hands in front of him to make an "X" shape.

Bai Miao didn't understand, but he didn't continue to dive. Instead, he just watched the group of mermaids busy.

They don't really think that a makeshift metal cover can stop meteorites, do they?

Even though the power of the meteorite dropped into the sea at 5000 meters has been greatly reduced, the mass of the meteorite itself is terrifying, not to mention the terrifying temperature on the surface when it fell.

Because this meteorite is made of a metal material with excellent thermal conductivity, almost even the core is heated to several thousand degrees Celsius.

"Does any of you know what these mermaid gestures mean?"

Bai Miao transmitted the image data he just saw back to the Endless Energy, waiting for the results from the minister and Emma above.

Wired transmission can reduce the impact of seawater to a certain extent, but more than 50.00% of the images sent back are distorted and skewed images.

By comparing it with the database, Emma gave several meanings of the gestures.

For example, putting an X means you want the other person to stay away.

The mermaid civilization at the bottom of the sea speaks this ancient sign language.

But since it is language, Bai Miao's linguistics can come into play. After learning a few basic expressions, Bai Miao started gesticulating towards the pile of mermaids below.

The group of mermaids looked at Bai Miao's sign language and looked at each other, as if they couldn't figure out why the person above said "it's dangerous to stuff a huge meteorite into your butt".

Bai Miao realized that the meaning he expressed might have changed drastically in the eyes of the mermaids, but seeing these mermaids stop what they were doing showed that his sign language was still somewhat effective.

As long as you can make the other person notice you, misunderstandings can be slowly eliminated.

"I want to have sex with your leader."

The mermaids suddenly all looked at the one in the center.

Bai Miao noticed that this one had harder scales on its skin and more luminous stones on its body.

What's more important is that it seems to be a female.

This must be the leader?

But soon Bai Miao saw a dozen male mermaids swimming towards him, with some anger in their eyes.

So what did the sentence I just said mean?Isn't it me who said I wanted to challenge the leader?

They gestured with their hands: "Don't approach the leader!"

Bai Miao also responded quickly: "I just want to talk, it's useless for you to do this."

The attacking mermaid seemed even angrier.

Bai Miao had to deal with the attacks of these mermaids first.

But when you look closer, these mermaids look really disgusting.

They have human faces, but they are located directly below the fish's head. They appear to have two respiratory organs: cheeks and lungs.

The slender fish body has arms on both sides, webbed palms, and retractable fins on the elbows. However, it basically does not use its hands to assist when swimming, but relies on its dorsal fin and tail fin.

The fins at the elbows appear to be an attack organ.

After Bai Miao escaped the siege of this group of mermaids, he tied their bodies into a knot with greater agility.

It doesn't seem to hurt much, but it is extremely insulting.

Then Bai Miao slowly rose up under the almost destructive gazes of these mermaids.

Seeing that this group of mermaids did not pursue them higher when they reached a depth of about 2000 meters, Bai Miao estimated that their living environment could only be within the range below 2000 meters.

What did Shi Yan think that would allow a civilization to develop in the deep sea...

If a civilization wants to develop, it must first be inseparable from fire. In the deep sea, let alone fire, even light is difficult to obtain.

Compared to Tokiyomi's behavior, both Holker and Kaguya were considered normal.

Each of these three is less worrying than the other.

Bai Miao felt that he had successfully attracted the attention of these mermaids. As long as he entered the water below 4000 meters, mermaids would attack him.

This also greatly disrupted their construction plans.

Bai Miao was waiting for when Shi Yan would come to him.

Or when these mermaids would stop trying to attack me and be willing to have a good chat.

Just learn more about different languages, but now we lack too much data to learn from.

After jumping back and forth several times, the group of mermaids finally gave up the attack and instead used gestures to attack Bai Miao wildly.

Almost all swear words.

These data are still collected by Bai Miao and returned to the Endless Energy, and then converted by the Endless Energy into a method that Bai Miao can learn for Bai Miao to understand.

"Captain, what exactly did you do to them? Why did they insult your parents, grandmother, wife and children?"

"I don't know. I just wanted to talk to their leader at first. Anyway, I don't have any of these, so I can scold them as I wish."

After learning a large number of gestures, Bai Miao successfully mastered this sign language.

I also understood what I originally meant.

"Oh, it was all a misunderstanding. I hope you can understand how difficult it is for someone who has just learned your language to do this. Now we should be able to communicate happily."

Bai Miao officially started normal communication with the mermaid civilization.

1 Chapter [-] Machinery

Bai Miao spent a lot of effort to convince this group of mermaids that he was a good person. The previous misunderstandings were caused by language barriers.

But this group of mermaids were still a little wary.

Bai Miao asked if anyone had told them in advance that meteorites would fall here, and how they developed such a civilization in the sea, but received no reply.

With no other choice, Bai Miao had no choice but to use his trump card.

Among the rewards collected from Donkey Village was a Teth-level luminous pearl. This luminous pearl had no other use except for illumination, and the Teth level did not make the light emitted by the luminous pearl immune to various strange rules.If you encounter some areas that completely absorb the light source, it should be darker.

It is a good choice to pry open the mouths of these mermaids at this moment.

This luminous pearl instantly illuminated the surrounding sea area within ten meters. Compared with the small stones carried by the mermaids, it was simply the difference between the light of the stars and the bright moon.

Bai Miao was stunned when he saw the mermaid.

"Do you want it? Answer my question and I will give it to you. This thing is not easy to find. We are also trapped in a cycle now. If we want to get out of this cycle, at least give us a chance to meet the person who caused the cycle, right? "

Shiny things seemed to be very attractive to mermaids. For a moment, Bai Miao saw that some mermaids in the group of mermaids were already uneasy. They were gesturing to themselves, expressing their willingness to answer Bai Miao's questions, but they were quickly stopped by other mermaids. .

It has basic organizational skills...but in the face of temptation, individuals will still be attracted.

Or maybe Shi Yan never thought that he would bribe these mermaids?

It didn't take long for the group of mermaids to come to a unified conclusion - let the leader receive the bright bead and answer Bai Miao's questions as much as possible.

"Is there such a person in the development of your civilization? Can he give you some tips on what to do next?"

"It's not a person, just a round thing."

The leader mermaid drew a circle in the water for Bai Miao.

"We have special priests asking this thing where to hunt in the next few days and how to avoid racial casualties."

This group of mermaids may have misunderstood the definition of human. Bai Miao explained: "It's something similar in appearance to me, right?"

The leader looked Bai Miao up and down: "It's quite a bit different."

Could it be that he turned into a box like Holker?Or round?

"So, you already know that meteorites will fall in the future and cause a crisis for the entire race, so you are preparing in advance?"

"indeed so."

"You don't really think that you can stop the meteorite by putting up this metal shield, do you? Last time I saw your people shoveling dirt around the meteorite and then died suddenly. There is something on this meteorite that can kill you, and it also It makes the predators that eat you crazier."

The leader of the mermaid was shocked: "Ah? Is this actually possible?"

"Did none of you priests tell you? Or did that thing not tell you the specific details?"

"We... don't know what will happen in the future. We just solve the problems according to the problems that will arise. If it doesn't work, the priest will tell us that it can't be done. For example, before we came out, the priest said that we can't be allowed to get close to the meteorite. It's best not to let the meteorite fall. Come down. Then we discussed a new plan and implemented it."

"So you just want to build a cover to block the ground and prevent meteorites from falling to the ground?"

"Is there any problem? As long as it doesn't fall to the bottom of the ocean, that's fine."

"..."

Bai Miao started to have a big head.

It feels like this civilization has some wisdom, but not much.

Is it because in the deep sea, the brain is not allowed to develop too much?

Let’s not talk about whether the cover can block it. Is there any essential difference between falling on the cover and falling on the bottom of the sea?

"I think it's okay to meet your priest and meet that thing by the way?"

"Absolutely not."

Bai Miao also knew that there was no chance.

In their eyes, this is something that is enough to shake the foundation.

"Well, I wish you a happy life."

Bai Miao didn't say anything more, but returned to the ship and informed the others of the general situation.

"The next thing we need to do is to find where their hometown is, then find Shi Yan directly, and confront Shi Yan face to face."

Bai Miao asked Kaguya Shiyan's appearance again to make sure that the group of mermaids were talking about the same thing as what he was asking.

"Round... In fact, our shape is made of liquid metal and can change within a certain range, so there is no problem in turning it into a circle."

Emma duly added: "By the way, I can't change my appearance, I can only recover after being damaged."

"Send more detectors down to search for signs of biological gatherings on the seabed in this area. We will go there after we find the location."

The failure rate of undersea search is extremely high, but even so, Bai Miao still used exhaustive methods to find nearly ten areas that met the standards.

After that, it is up to people to determine the location themselves.

"Captain, I need to remind you in advance that some locations are wrong, but it does not mean that there is nothing there. It should be said that something affects the judgment of the detector, so you can ask other crew members to go into the water to confirm for you. And at the same time send Ten people can save a lot of time.”

Seeing that Bai Miao was planning to try it out in person, Irina couldn't help but said, "This is the responsibility of the Operations Management Department. Please don't shirk it this time."

Bai Miao saw that Irina was afraid of dying in the sea.

Even with the restart, Irina is still afraid.

Because no one knows whether this time will be the last restart.

What if the group of mermaids really succeeded in messing around?

"Okay, let's let the crew of the Operations Management Department disperse and confirm first."

Bai Miao is confident in his eyesight. As long as there is light, he can see extremely distant scenes clearly. He does not need to go too deep at all.

But since Irina has said it to this extent, it would be unreasonable for her to behave so recklessly.

This time, Bai Miao did not select the door-knocker from the Operations and Management Department.

After hearing their mission, the selected crew members did not complain at all. They nodded and left alone in the boat towards the designated location.

One day later, Bai Miao received two replies on the ship.

One place said traces of civilization had been found, the other said there was nothing.

There was no response from eight other locations, and calls went unresponsive.

After Bai Miao held a moment of silence in his heart, he immediately organized a handover at the determined location.

It has to be said that this group of mermaids have pretty good foot strength. It only takes about a day to cross a distance of more than 100 nautical miles to the meteorite landing point with metal plates of various sizes.
