It has to be said that human beings are powerful in many fields. Although this kind of potion formula based on the source civilization cannot be completely evolved, it is more controllable and avoids the embarrassment of not being able to awaken and become a reverse monster. This is essentially
It is an improvement in terms of quality. This makes the medicine that could only be used in a very small range and with extremely high risks become an out-and-out golden holy medicine that many people want but cannot get.
In addition, with the improvement and improvement of this technology, various advanced versions have become emergency backup medicines for leaders. It is conceivable that once the source is uncontrollable, these leaders who are accustomed to having power and guidance will definitely not
Mind taking a dose for yourself.
Miao Pu had long thought that there would be such a day. As the master of the earth, human beings inherently mean strength and adaptability. Unless it is the kind of transformation that sweeps the world overnight and the existing order completely collapses, otherwise it will be considered dead. 70
Billions of human beings have to die. How could it be so easy to become extinct?
Moreover, the longer time passes, the more likely it is that mankind will survive the crisis of annihilation, or even turn defeat into victory. After all, it would be absolutely terrifying to gather the power of all mankind. Perhaps subconsciously, this is why Miao Pu stands firmly on
An important reason for being on the side of humans, not the awakened ones.
The Arakami may have a chance to become revolutionary pioneers and be recorded in history, but now, and in the future that can be roughly estimated, the probability of them being treated as terrorists is definitely higher.
No matter what reasons they have for bitterness and hatred, in Miao Pu's view, the essence is to subvert the existing rule through drastic changes, or through war and killing, and use the blood and bones of countless people to pave the way for them to pass.
The road to the pinnacle of power.
Since he has this understanding, no matter how great and upright the principles he upholds and how high-sounding the reasons for his development are, he will not join.
It is said that Luo Zhiqing introduced Li Guofang to the group instead of just looking for an expert. Naturally, she had a purpose.
[Wolf Fang Team] is definitely China’s top adventure team in the exploration of origin civilization.
Past facts have proven that any surviving members who followed Miao Pu and the organizations and forces behind them have received generous rewards after taking risks again and again. Therefore, I don’t know how many people are eyeing the quota of this team now.
I hope I can get one, although this logic is not scientific at all.
Luo Zhiqing also figured out Miao Pu's temper, and then arranged for Li Guofang to come in. Behind this seemingly minor incident, more than three digits of people were jealous, and a series of fights between factions took place. Some people have already put down their ruthlessness.
As for the position of [Wolf Fang Team], they will try their best to get it.
But Miao Pu didn't know this, and his main focus was still on doing things. Like now, he is studying how to improve large-scale ships with Li Guofang.
They say they are studying together, but in reality it is Li Guofang who is teaching the students.
Luo Zhiqing and her superiors are very considerate, and they did not hire a guy who was only obedient and scrupulous. Li Guofang, like many decent experts of the older generation, has a bad temper when it comes to professional fields, and will not see any small mistakes.
The large-scale ship that Miao Pu built was full of errors and omissions in the eyes of experts.
For example, the internal structure of this ship is not much more complicated than that of a sampan. It does not even have anti-sink partitions, let alone watertight hatches.
For another example, the large-scale ship was built based on the famous Mayflower (the ship on which the British Puritans sailed to North America in 1962), because in Miao Pu's memory, this sailing ship was the clearest and most complete. But like his
I have been working on this for a short period of my life, and I just got a model of the ship as a birthday gift. It was placed on the bookshelf next to the desk in my room, and I could often see it, so I was deeply impressed.
You can imagine how superficial this understanding is. What’s even more interesting is that the model is not a smaller version of the real scale. After all, such a model is too expensive. The model Miao Pu obtained is just a look-alike. From the hull proportions,
When it comes to the position of the ship's masts, upon closer inspection, none of them are correct. Looking at the enlarged large-scale ship based on the model, it's really damned if the structure is correct.
Therefore, when Li Guofang saw such a ship that looked okay at first glance, but was actually just a pile of garbage, he almost made the old man’s nose angry. According to Li Guofang’s words: “Is this a fucking ship? It’s obviously a drifting ship on the sea.
A coffin... Such a thing is of no use except to make burial at sea easier..."
Fortunately, even though Miao Pu is no longer the student boy he once was, he still very much approves of Mr. Li's attitude. In other words, Miao Pu is very fond of this attitude due to his tutoring. In his heart, he respects those who have real abilities.
old scholar.
It's just that time is precious now, and Miao Pu really can't afford to delay it, but Li Guofang still insists on making major changes to the large-scale ships. He told Miao Pu that either he should spend time on the modification here, or spend more time on the modification at sea. And this is already the last step.
An optimistic estimate or an unoptimistic estimate is that he will be buried in the sea. After all, there is no possibility of rescue in this sea.
Other members of the [Spike Team] have not been idle recently. They conducted a simple exploration of the ocean and found that there are no less than 10 species of sea fish that can pose a threat to them. Among them, there are three species that are equal to or larger than a humpback whale.
In terms of its ferociousness, they felt that it was definitely appropriate to call it an ichthyosaur. The huge beasts of origin that they encountered along the way from the front camp to the seaside were nothing compared to them.
Another bad news is that these sea monsters prey in groups, so it is not difficult to imagine if they fell into the sea...
So it was delayed for another four days. By the time they set sail on October 10, the forward camp had followed Miao Pu's route and opened up a road that was not very safe. Those in the organization were no longer satisfied with just sailing in
Conducting research in the forests and wilderness of the underground space, they are somewhat impatient to launch research on the Earth Sea at the same time, and this group of people is the frontline staff to build a cutting-edge research institute on the seaside.
Just yesterday, Miao Pu returned to the rear, mainly to replenish energy for his nest and battle pets. There are too few special crystals called [Pure Crystals] and cannot store much energy, which means that Miao Pu is too young to leave the nest.
If it lasts for a long time, it will bear the risk of nest decay and battle pets losing control. Therefore, Miao Pu naturally saves as much energy as possible before setting sail.
This time when I returned to the rear, there was good news and bad news.
The construction of direct tunnels, station fortresses, and forward camps is going smoothly, which is good news. The upper space has been invaded again, which is bad news.
Six space gates appeared this time, and the number of orangutan monsters and leopard men that were invaded was nearly three times that of last time, and there was also an additional plant monster of the same level. The combat effectiveness of this monster itself was much lower than that of the leopard men.
There are few, but they have one very representative and significant feature, which is wings and flight.
Although this invasion was ultimately defeated, the defending party also paid a huge price. It almost detonated the huge amount of stored energy. The Heart of Thorns, Tyrant Vine, and Lair were all damaged to varying degrees. If it weren't for Miao,
If Pu just comes back, these losses cannot be recovered in a short time. Then the next invasion, Miao Pu's side will lose control of the upper area.
Miao Pu didn't know why the enemy paid so much attention to the upper space. But he at least knew that the enemy's evolution process had taken another step forward. If he was passively beaten like this, it wouldn't take more than a month for the upper space to be saved. And the upper space would definitely not be saved.
Once the space is lost, it is only a matter of time before the lower space is occupied by monsters again, and it won't take too long.
Carrying a heavy pressure, Miao Pu embarked on the big sea ship.
The sea breeze was strong, blowing up the sails woven with fine vines, and the sea ship rode the wind and waves and sailed to the depths of the Earth Sea.
Underground space is a typical source world, which is much deeper than the ground. Under this premise, because of the interference of energy and the fact that it is underground, ordinary navigation instruments and the experience of identifying directions are completely meaningless here.
Fortunately, Miao Pu has the assistance of the weapon spirit. The weapon spirit has some very practical functions, one of which is the anchor coordinate positioning method.
The simple understanding of this technique is to set a point as a coordinate reference object, and then determine the direction by comparing its position with that point.
This is a technique involving spatial knowledge, and only space-type anchor coordinates can ignore distance and energy interference in the main material world to a certain extent. Miao Pu himself cannot use this technique and can only use the tool spirit.
The first day of sailing can be said to be smooth and smooth. For Miao Pu and his party, this is extremely rare. It is precisely because of this period of practical operation that the initial adjustment of everyone working together to control the sea ship was completed.
People who had been tormented by Li Guofang's various tricks all day long finally figured out the basic shipping work while complaining. In fact, this was more about nip in the bud.
A large ship is not an ancient sailing ship. Carrying the Heart of Thorns is equivalent to equipping the ship with AI. Although it does not have the ability to fully automate the ship, it is at least semi-automatic. It can raise and lock the sails and other things by itself. As long as
Just give it an order.
The second day was not so smooth sailing.
Since early in the morning, the weather has taken a turn for the worse, and the thick mist-like clouds above our heads have begun to change, a bit like dark clouds gathering on the ground. The waves have gradually become larger, and to make matters worse, the storm has begun.
At the front of the route, they plunged headlong into it.
Miao Pu had taken a boat out to sea before, but it was always offshore and he had never experienced the rough waves in the depths of the ocean. Others were similar, except for Li Guofang, who was more qualified in this field, Luo Zhiqing.
But even Li Guofang and Luo Zhiqing have never seen an ocean as violent as the Earthsea Storm Zone.
The heavy rain is pouring. From a distance, it is no longer raindrops, but water lines connecting the sky and the sea. The dark clouds are hanging low, as if they are bordering the earth and the sea. There is a narrow gap between the sea and the sky. And in this gap,
The lightning has never been interrupted, so that when you look around, the entire space is rendered in a blue-purple color, with only the difference between dazzling brightness and slightly dimming, but no long-term darkness.
In addition to lightning, there are also waterspouts, which are giant tornadoes that really connect the sea and the sky. From a distance, they look like giant dragons, with arcs of electricity flashing across their bodies from time to time. They run wildly on the sea like wild horses, and occasionally they meet each other in pairs.
It burst out with dazzling brilliance, forming a spectacular thunder storm, and the destructive power it displayed gave people a feeling of suffocation even if it was several sea miles away.
When the ocean is in a state of rage, the most indispensable thing is the waves. Raging waves with a height of more than ten meters can be seen everywhere here. The situation when the wild waves crash down is no worse than that of a five or six-story building crashing down like a wall.
And being thrown to the top of such a violent wave, the next thing you enjoy is a flying fall that is almost the same as jumping from a building.
At this time, everyone in the ship on the sea feels insignificant and powerless facing the vastness of the world.
This is really because the materials used in Miao Pu's ship are strong enough. If a ship of this level or that level comes off, it has been completely torn into pieces. This is no longer progress, but it should be said that it is struggling hard, fighting against the mighty power of heaven and earth.
In front of us, manpower seemed extremely small.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that fighting against it has created the unique bravery and fearlessness of the voyagers.
After struggling in the rough waves for more than 4 hours, the ship finally escaped from the core area of the storm.
At this time, the large ship had been damaged in many places, two of its three masts were broken, and it was still bumping in waves several meters high.
Happiness comes from comparison. Although everyone has vomited all sorts of things now and is still bumpy and bumpy, everyone feels like they are relaxing after a disaster. The most painful part is finally over. The wind and waves are high in front of us.
There is no comparison with before, and just 6 hours ago, they were screaming about similar storms.
An unforgettable sailing experience gave the group of people a certain temperament, which is the unruly and free spirit of sailors who have been living at sea all year round, a kind of wild bravery and tenacity.
Miao Pu drank the remaining half of the life energy, and his whole body seemed to be burning. The pain of being torn apart made him sweat profusely in an instant. He groaned and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Although he had refined his skills and injected them frequently and in large amounts, he still suffered some internal injuries, but compared to the most urgent matter at the moment, these injuries were nothing.
The reason why the ocean ship can hold up until now is all because of his constant injection of energy to help it repair. In the world of Yuanhua, even the power of the waves is much more ferocious. The sea water containing energy is not only more destructive, but also corrosive.
penetration effect.
This kind of corrosive penetration is a bit like electric current causing metal to gain magnetism. The source knowledge has a special term to describe it. Translated, it is roughly energy assimilation.
To simply understand, seawater will transform the properties of a large-scale ship. During the transformation, the basic structure of the large-scale ship will also be changed. This is a more thorough effect than seawater soaking wooden boards into decaying slag. Once completed,
A large ship is like a piece of rotten wood that has been eaten away by termites and will be shattered by just one wave.
Therefore, in addition to normal resistance to wind and waves, large-scale ships also have to deal with this kind of corrosion, and in storm areas, the power of this corrosion is strengthened. Because the energy state of the seawater at this time is higher, like that
The thunder storm is a manifestation of the madness of the three energy attributes of electricity, wind, and water. If it is sucked in, there will be no other way but death.
Miao Pu felt that if he could break out of such an area before the life system energy was exhausted, he would be considered a great blessing. How could he dare to stay any longer?
So despite the injury, he had to recover some energy so that he could help Heart of Thorns quickly repair the ship.
The most urgent thing to repair was the mast. Fortunately, one of the two broken masts was not swept into the sea. With the joint efforts of a group of people, it was pulled up by Miao Pu's rattan rope, and then
Connect the broken stubble with the infusion of life energy and quickly repair it.
Then it's time to hang the sail again. Now you can save a little bit, and repairing a broken sail is far more cost-effective than re-weaving a new one, both in terms of time and energy consumption.
As a result, at this juncture, sharp-eyed Li Xuesong shouted a warning: "There is a monster!"
Miao Pu looked in the direction of Li Xuesong's finger and saw a huge figure crossing the rolling sea. The monster's body was like a sword, flat in shape, thick in the middle and thin on both sides.
The part looks like a fish fin or a ribbon, undulating regularly from front to back, and a clear aqua-blue light can be seen.
It is precisely because of this organ that the monster can cut through water and waves, and can also leap forward from time to time, like a light and powerful speedboat.
This monster is at least 3 meters long, and its width is difficult to estimate because it is far away and parallel to the boat, but it must be six or seven meters, and its head is also big, like a combination of a centipede head and a snake head. It is not round.
It's round, not triangular, and there are pincers on both sides of the head. It doesn't look like a good boy.
After the monster appeared, it did not rush towards it, but moved forward on its own, as if it just happened to be in the same direction as the big ship.
However, Li Guofang reminded Miao Pu that this should be the beginning of testing, and there might be more moves next.
It was big, fast, and far away. Miao Pu had no way to deal with it. He could only call on everyone to carry out all-out emergency repairs on the large ship.
If the sail is damaged, it can be repaired first to prevent it from being torn apart by the sea wind. Even if the sail is damaged, it can speed up the ship a lot.
The next step is drainage. Filling the cabin with water makes the hull heavy. This drainage mainly depends on the heart of thorns, but the premise is to repair the big leaks. This work does not necessarily have to be done by Miao Pu. Everyone only needs to get ↑ skins of different specifications.
Stick it], hold the bark sticker against the inner wall of the boat against the water pressure of the leak for a while, and the heart of thorns will naturally control the wood in that part to complete the adhesion, and then grow fine vines to repair the cracks.
This kind of work can only be completed by the Awakened, or with the assistance of plant monsters, because the strength required is really not something ordinary people can do. The powerful water pressure alone is enough for ordinary people to retreat, not to mention the lack of sailing boats.
unstable.
Not long after the repair work on the ship's hull started, the monster made new moves. The general direction was still the same as that of the ship, but it was constantly closing the distance between them.
This kind of approach is relatively careful. Every time you get closer to a few tens of meters, you will pause for a while. Then when you see that there is no response from the large ship, you will come closer.
By this time, Miao Pu was convinced that the monster was testing.
