Chapter 148: First Entry Into the Fertile Sea

In the laboratory, Su Na was busy, and there was a white milk brick-like crystal on the table.

As soon as she saw Yang Yi coming in, she waved him over.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Yi's eyes first stayed on the milk bricks on the table for a few seconds, and then looked at the fat puffer fish sealed in a glass tank.

Although it is not inflated, it is already as fat as a ball.

Suna picked up the milk brick and a bottle of colorless liquid.

"This white liquid is not fat, but high-concentration sugar water, with a boiling point of about 200 degrees and a ignition point of 600 degrees. I tried to evaporate and separate this liquid, and then got two products, delicious honey and fresh water."

The white milk brick-like thing is the delicious honey obtained by evaporation.

She cut the milk block into two pieces and threw them into two liquids with labels on them: fresh water and saturated salt water.

The former was instantly dyed white, while the latter had a layer of milky white liquid floating on top of the salt water, remaining layered and not completely mixed, while salt precipitated out.

Yang Yi didn't find it strange. Isn't this a phenomenon that occurs at sea?

Su Na explained.

“This milky white solution has a lower density than saturated salt water and is not easily miscible with salt water.

So I tried them on and found..."

Suna took out two glass jars from under the table.

The first one was a piece of white and greasy meat, a piece of delicious meat from before. It had shrunk badly after being soaked in salt water, and seemed to be dehydrated.

The other one was soaked in fresh water, unchanged.

"Salt is harmful to cuts of meat."

Suna took out the piece of meat from the fresh water and sprinkled salt on it. Then she saw that the piece of meat was losing water and shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a slug.

"Why don't you just state the conclusion?"

Yang Yi picked up the piece of meat and squeezed it. He found that it had become very hard and the fragrance had weakened.

"And!" Suna continued to describe her discovery.

"I'm very confused. With so many marine creatures gathering here, wouldn't they be deprived of oxygen?

So I tried it with this puffer fish.

It can now be concluded that this white liquid can directly supply energy to living organisms, or the energy supply does not require oxygen!

This puffer fish has survived in the exhaust gas for more than three hours and has never died! "

Suna explained.

Without her further explanation, Yang Yi understood what she meant.

The lack of oxygen means organisms can grow larger without the limitation of insufficient oxygen supply.

This makes it more likely that there are giant creatures in the sea.

These are the main findings.

Salt can effectively kill organisms in the fourth stage, so it must be purchased or prepared in large quantities.

Once you enter the fertile sea area, it may be difficult to obtain salt.

Yang Yi turned around and was about to leave the laboratory, but was pulled back by Su Na.

Fortunately, she didn't ask for anything this time. She just handed over a bottle of potion, which contained a light red liquid and a flocculent substance.

"It's a trial work for restoring magic energy. You can try it."

Yang Yi took it, and the information was still an unknown potion. The ingredients were probably his own spinal fluid, wolf hair, or something else.

But he doesn't want to drink it now, because he is worried that drinking it will cause problems and affect the exploration of fertile sea areas.

Returning to the deck, Yang Yi controlled the Nightmare Star to move forward and officially entered the fertile sea area.

Different from entering the extreme winter sea before, this time there seemed to be a clear dividing line in the sea. It was like passing through a membrane. Even the air inside became viscous and the temperature was several degrees higher.

Yang Yi slowed down the boat, looked around with his third eye, and checked the chart in the crystal ball.

There are many small dots like sesame seeds on it, but they are actually pieces of meat floating on the sea.

They have different shapes, some are just pieces of meat, some are like mushrooms, and some are like trees.

The sea water is milky white, like sailing on milk, and the bottom of the boat is filled with sweet milk and honey.

Yang Yi took photos to record the conditions in the fertile sea area, and tried to shoot at the piece of meat not far away.

Bang!

Twenty meters away, a large hole appeared on the surface of an irregular piece of meat about two meters long.

But the other party didn't react much and seemed to feel no pain.

The wounds on the flesh disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Yi didn't believe in evil, so he fired several more shots and used a cannon, tearing the big piece of meat into several pieces, but failed to kill it.

He switched to using three eyes to check and discovered something fishy.

This piece of meat has many pores under the water, and it is constantly shrinking and expanding, swallowing the white seawater, while the wound recovers quickly.

Even if it is broken into several pieces, it will not die, but will split into independent individuals.

Once individuals come into contact with each other, they will engulf each other and merge.

So this thing is almost unkillable in white water.

Maybe fire can deal with this thing, but the entire sea will probably be ignited into a sea of ​​flames.

Yang Yi hesitated for a while, then controlled the Nightmare Star to approach the pieces of meat floating on the sea, devouring each other and fusing together.

As soon as it got close, the piece of meat seemed to sense something, floated over, and stuck tightly to the hull of the Nightmare Star, as if it was trying to fuse and eat the Nightmare Star.

Yang Yi ordered Bai Gu's arm to pull this thing away, but the effect was not obvious, and he might even be attacked.

Although this thing is pure meat, it also has a unique attack method, which is devouring.

Several skeletal arms were swallowed by chunks of flesh, and the Nightmare Star's durability also began to decline.

If this thing is attached to the boat, it will actually last a long time.

Perhaps stimulated by the movement here, another sea mushroom with a diameter of more than three meters floated over not far away.

Yang Yi took out a bag of salt and poured it on the meat block that was adhering to the hull under the boat.

In an instant, the meat block seemed to have encountered sulfuric acid, and its body quickly dehydrated and withered. It gave up attacking and dived into the sea.

"Salt is effective, physical attacks are almost ineffective, and it is not sure whether it can be turned into an egg after killing it."

Yang Yi judged.

Several pieces of meat floated over from a distance. Yang Yi had no intention of entangled with them and directly controlled the ship to retreat.

Although he only stayed outside the fertile sea for a while, he actually scanned a large area of ​​the sea with the help of the three eyes.

There are such floating pieces of meat everywhere on the sea, and it is impossible to avoid them all. If you choose to break through forcefully, it will only be like a snowball, causing the hull to be covered with pieces of meat.

By then, even if the hull can hold up, it may not be able to move.

In the end, these pieces of meat will merge into one, wrap the ship into a meat ball, and then go up to the deck, and no one on the ship can escape.

Yang Yi made a guess based on the information he had at hand.

There was not much salt on his ship, which could not support him to explore the rich sea in depth.

If he was entangled by the meat, things would become very troublesome.

"But it is too unrealistic to spread salt all the way through this sea?"

Yang Yi complained.

Perhaps a layer of crystal salt could be coated on the hull to avoid these meats that wanted to approach.

This is more feasible and more appropriate.

He told his idea to Suna, who also agreed that it was very feasible.

After the exploration, the Nightmare Star withdrew from the rich sea, and the time came to the evening.

Seeing that the lookout had cooled down, Yang Yi tried to scan it, and then accidentally obtained the coordinates of an island, located inside the rich sea, about a thousand nautical miles away.
