Chapter 145 Summer Night's Theory

The more Xia Ye listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Chris took the first step and said:
"Master Xia Ye, I know what you are doubting, because now I have the same suspicion. However, I still want to explain to you in more detail what Bavaria Academy has always said, and then we will discuss .”

Xia Ye had this in mind: "Okay."

"According to the academy, the etheric sea is dangerous and barren. Although it is large in size, there are very few creatures living in it, so there is no complex ecosystem. The number of floating islands is also rare, and the giant floating islands that are enough to build cities It is difficult to find an island in a million nautical miles. Therefore, the distance between cities is unimaginably far, if there is no traveling witch, we don’t even know that there are other cities.”

"If the etheric sea is barren, how does the academy explain that there are so many whales near Debusota?" Xia Ye asked.

"Their explanation is that under the seabed below Debsota, there is a wealth of magic crude oil. Because there are cracks in the seabed, a small amount of magic crude oil will leak from the cracks and float to the surface of the etheric sea. Whales are attracted by these magic crude oil. , so it gathers and breeds near Debsota.

"And the farther away from Debusota, the less magic crude oil leaked, and therefore the fewer whales—this is their theory."

After Chris finished speaking, she smiled wryly: "It sounds reasonable at first, right? We used to believe it. However, it has been falsified by the whales you met."

Xia Ye nodded lightly: "In the past, very few people were able to cross the Western Islands and go deep into the deep sea area further west. Even if they did, they rarely came back alive. Even if they came back alive, no one has ever brought back news of the whales. Whaling is a nascent industry, and even if there are wrong theories, it is normal."

Hearing this, Curran raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had thought of something, but instead of opening her mouth, she raised her glass and took a sip of the Dome ale that the crew often drank.

Xia Ye continued: "Let's listen to my theory now: First of all, the etheric sea is not without complex ecosystems, but we haven't discovered it yet. The white whale is a good example, and I believe that whales are definitely not etheric." The only giant creature in the sea.

"Secondly, the deeper you go into the ether sea, the greater the risk you face, but the benefits you can get should also increase in proportion. This is based on a very reasonable logic: the danger is caused by the creatures in the ether sea, and the more a creature Dangerous, the more magic power it has, because magic power is the source of power, and the more magic power, the greater the benefits it brings us. The most intuitive example is this white whale."

Xia Ye pointed at the whale under his feet with a dining knife.

"It is indeed more difficult to deal with than the small whale in the offshore, but it has a full 8 moles of whale oil, which is 4 times that of the small whale! And I don't think it is more dangerous than it can bring income."

"Finally, we might as well imagine going further—once we sail far enough, there are other ways besides hunting that can bring us more substantial benefits. For example, trade, if we can open up routes with other cities, There will be a high probability of finding a lucrative trading item, such as... a contract that Debusota does not have. I believe that even the big witches in the upper city will be interested in this kind of thing.

"Our imagination can be even more radical - magic crude oil. There must also be magic crude oil stored in other places in the etheric sea. Of course, we still have no idea how to find them and how to drill them out. fields. However, these obstacles are not insurmountable, and once resolved, imagine - we will become the second 'ether exploration'."

Whether in the past or now, Xia Ye has always been confident in her ability to draw cakes.

Confidence comes from strength.

The strength of painting cakes...

In any case, after an impassioned speech, Xia Ye really saw the unconcealable excitement in the eyes of Chris and Yaha.

People always believe what they want to believe, and so does the witch.

Chris is eager to explore the boundaries of the etheric sea, and Yaha is eager to challenge bigger and stronger whales...or other creatures.And Xia Ye's theory perfectly fits their dreams.

Only Curen still lowered his head, unhurriedly cutting the last piece of whale meat on the plate.

"Very good speech, Miss Xia Ye." After she finished speaking, she forked the meat, put it into her mouth, and chewed slowly.

"This is not a speech, but an inference, and a reasonable inference." Xia Ye corrected.

"I admit that your inference is indeed reasonable. But the reality is not necessarily reasonable, so no matter how perfect the inference is, it needs to be verified by practice."

"……Um?"

Ke Lun spoke so plainly that Xia Ye was stunned for a few seconds before realizing:

"You mean...you support the exploration of the deeper reaches of the etheric sea?"

"Yes."

Curran put down the knife and fork, crossed his hands and supported them under his small chin.

"Why don't I support it? You have already gained real benefits. Even according to the most conservative thinking, you should at least explore the sea area west of the archipelago to verify whether your guess about the white whale is correct.

"If it is correct, the company's profits will undoubtedly increase significantly. At that time, we can allocate part of the budget to explore deeper waters-see if, as you guessed, there are other giant animals besides whales. Creatures, that may bring us greater benefits. But..."

"but?"

"However, out of the sincerity of cooperation, there are two more things, I want to remind you:
First of all, if your guess is correct, it means that Bavaria's theory is very wrong, and this is a very incredible thing - Bavaria Academy was founded by Bavaria Manufacturing Factory Well, many of the scholars in the academy are from Midtown or even Uptown. Unlike us, for those big witches in Uptown, it is not very difficult to reach the sea west of the archipelago.

"So, when they put forward their theories, didn't they think about spending a little time to verify it?"

Xia Ye was not surprised that Ke Lun thought of this, because it was her own doubt.

And Curran has gone on to say:
"Second, I agree with your opinion, which does not mean that the shareholders of the company agree with you. The shareholder of the company is the 'Venture Capital Seven', which belongs to the 'Ether Exploration', just as the controlling shareholder of the Bavaria Manufacturing Plant is also 'Ether exploration'. Of course, I will try my best to convince them that your shareholding is in the interests of the company and can bring them huge investment returns in the future—but I cannot control their decisions."

The two things Curran reminded seem unrelated, but after a little thought, you can find a vague connection.

Xia Ye felt that the other party was implying something.

She folded her hands on her thighs, and the fingers of her right hand gently slid across her left wrist. That was the non-disclosure agreement signed between her and Curran just now.

The terms of the agreement appeared in front of my eyes. Compared with the beginning, the terms of the agreement had indeed undergone some changes.
