How to become a mermaid

Chapter 108 Lights

Hearing that Moni said that he had finished speaking, Shamanleer was taken aback, and asked with a puzzled look:

"That's the end? Is it that simple?"

That's it?That's it? !Is this how the boat sails?

Shamanleir suspected that Moni was lying to himself, how could such a large ship be so easy to operate.

However, Money really wasn't lying to him.

"It's that simple!" Money nodded.

He raised a finger, and said with certainty: "A rudder and a lever. After controlling these two things, the boat can be driven. The method is so simple that even mermaids can learn it!"

Shamanleir was still listening carefully, but after hearing Moni's last words, his brows frowned, feeling offended!
What is it that even mermaids can learn, what's wrong with mermaids, are they stupid mermaids!
He turned his head, looked at Mooney with displeasure, and revealed the message of "give you a chance to reorganize the language" to him.

Seeing Shamanlael's eyes, Moni suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong just now, he covered his mouth, and made an annoyed voice: "Oh no~"

His original intention was to say that even mermaids can remember their forgetful memory, but language is a wonderful thing, a slight difference in wording and sentence construction will change the context greatly.

"Sorry, I mean...not a mermaid, but a murloc! Even those stupid murlocs can drive!" Money was eager to make up for his mistake.

However, the more anxious people are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

From a mermaid to a stupid murloc, isn't this equivalent to making the two of them equal?
This kind of explanation, on the contrary, has a feeling of getting darker and darker.

Samantel's face darkened.

Seeing that the little mermaid seemed to be even more angry, Mooney also realized the problem in his words.

He covered his forehead, annoyed at his stupid speech just now.

"Sorry, please forget the nonsense I just said!"

After speaking, Moni bowed to Shamanlael.

He bent down deeply, with the upper and lower body forming a standard ninety-degree angle.

The standard of its posture is as if it has been trained from an island country on the earth.

Seeing that Moni had apologized so sincerely, Shamanlell curled his lips and stopped thinking about it.

However, he noticed that there were about a dozen levers on the main console, and these things were not introduced by Moni at all.

So he asked: "Since you only need the rudder and the red lever to sail the boat, what are these things for?"

Hearing that Shamanleir asked about this thing, Moni straightened up, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said:
"you guess?"

Hearing these two words, Samantel frowned.

It was time for the riddle guessing session again, and he didn't like guessing riddles at all.

But looking at the expectation revealed in Moni's eyes, Samantel still cooperated a little bit, and asked tentatively: "These are the ones that control other things on the ship?"

"Hmm~" Monny nodded.

Seeing Moni's affirmation, Shamanleir continued to ask with some uncertainty: "Light?"

He knew that there were many lights on the Moni, and these things could be seen almost everywhere. Whenever night came, they would shine brightly, which could illuminate the entire ship brightly.

And they also seem to be controllable, able to switch on and off as people want.

Chamanleir speculates that these levers may be the master control system for controlling the lights on the ship.

However, upon hearing this guess, Money shook his finger and said, "No, no, no, these levers can't turn on and off the lights."

"There are hundreds of lights on the ship, how could they be controlled by these small levers! They all have their own independent switches!"

Hearing Moni say that these levers can't control the lights on the boat, Shamanel twitched his lips and didn't quite agree with this statement.

Why can't it be controlled? Isn't this just like a switch, the power supply will not be turned off when the switch is turned on, and the lights will not be turned on!

Shamanleir just wanted to say the thought in his heart, but he stopped suddenly when the words came to his mouth, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

He felt as if he had overlooked the fact that he never seemed to have inquired into how the lights on the Mooney were made to shine.

The light emitted by these lights on the ship is no different from the light emitted by the lights on the earth, which made Shamanleer feel very familiar subconsciously, and subconsciously ignored their existence.

So although he had seen the lights on the ship many times, he never paid much attention to them.

However, here's the weirdest bit.

The lights on the earth are powered by electricity to emit light, but how did the lights on the Moni do it?
Is there an electrical system on the Moni too?The world has entered the electrical age?
"How do those lights on the ship shine? Do they rely on electricity? Or something?" Shamanlael asked eagerly.

If humans in this world have mastered the usage of electricity, then they are likely to light up more technology trees, and the risk factor will increase exponentially.

This is very unfavorable to him, so Samantel is eager to know the answer.

Seeing Shamanleir's eager expression, Mooney was a little puzzled. They were just lamps. Why was his little mermaid so nervous?
However, the doubts are doubts, and Moni quickly answered this question for Shaman Lear.

"Electricity does seem to be able to emit light, but those things are fleeting and cannot last long. How can it be used as a lamp?" Moni asked rhetorically.

While speaking, he walked to a corner of the power room.

Shamanel noticed him standing under a wall lamp.

The style of this wall lamp is very simple, it is just a square box covered with transparent glass.

There is a translucent sphere inside, and something that looks a bit like a light bulb is emitting a bright cool white light.

Mooney stretched out his hand, tapped on the wall lamp, and said, "Unlike those inferior kerosene lamps, the lamps on board are all made of [Light Stone], a derivative of [Photococcus]."

Following his movements, Samantel could clearly see the structure inside the wall lamp.

That glowing orb seemed to be empty.

At the bottom of it was filled some transparent liquid, which filled about a third of the entire container, and there was a filament-like thing protruding into the liquid at the bottom of the container, emitting a bright light.

Mooney pressed the switch on the wall, and Shamanel saw the filament shrink back, it was pulled out of the liquid, and the light stopped.

After turning off the lights, Moni took the wall lamp off the wall and brought it to Shaman Lair.

As he took down the wall lamp, Samantel saw that there was a spring-like thing left in the lamp socket, it seemed that this thing pulled back the glowing filament just now.

This appears to be a simple mechanical structure with no circuitry.

Money shook the "bulb" and said, "This is sea water.

After speaking, he pulled out the filament inside and put it in Shamanleir's hand.

"This thing is 【Light Stone】."

Samantel touched the filament and felt that it was hard to the touch, not like metal, but like some kind of…

"Stone?" Shamanlael asked in surprise.

"Yes...but no!" Money gave an ambiguous answer.

"[Light Stone] is not a kind of ore, but a derivative of [Photococcus]."

"Photococcus is a kind of algae that can emit light. Its light is actually not bright. It can only be regarded as an inconspicuous one among many luminous algae. However, if this algae is raised in one place, their secretions will will pile up."

"These secretions will pile up more and more, and become harder and harder, forming something like a stone. When the "stone" starts to turn black, it will become a [light stone]. When it encounters sea water, it will emit strong light The light illuminates the entire sea area like daytime."

"Split [Light Stone] into filaments and put them into a container filled with seawater to make a [Light Stone Lamp]!"
