Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 476 Fish planted in the soil
On the deck of the Future, Renekton led Paz, who had been coaxed, towards the cabin, and happened to bump into Frank walking out of it.

Renekton glanced at the bucket of strange mushrooms held in the other man's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and said:

"Good evening, Frank, what are you going to do?"

A hearty smile appeared on Frank's face, he temporarily put the barrel aside, and then said:

"Hey, Al, you finally replied. I was just about to write to you asking for a new batch of monster corpses."

"These are mushrooms that have failed to be developed. Although they can achieve rapid reproduction through the flesh and blood of monsters, they will accumulate toxins and pollution inside. I am about to dump them into the sea."

Renekton glanced at the strange mushrooms that hit the barrel. Under the crimson moonlight, he could clearly see that there were some undulations on the surface of the mushrooms, as if they were breathing weakly.

Doesn’t it need to be inactivated in advance? What if this thing floods the sea? Renekton sighed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice:

"To accumulate toxins and pollution, can the pollution be accumulated by producing fruits? In this case, the other parts besides the fruits can be used."

While speaking, he raised his right hand forward, and a ball of slowly rotating star sand quickly condensed in his palm. Stars emerged one after another, densely packed and dazzling.

These stars shed light one after another from the mid-air, and merged into a dazzling white, covering all the mushrooms in the barrel. Those weird mushrooms that were still breathing slightly were quickly dissolved by the starlight, collapsed and dissipated.

Frank's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he said with a somewhat excited tone:

"This ability is great for cleaning up the remnants of experiments! It's so convenient."

As expected of you, Renekton sighed in his heart, and then suggested with some doubts:
"You could try raising something like a piranha and feed it those discarded experimental products."

"It is too dangerous to keep this kind of thing on the ship, and the composition of my experimental product is too complex. If the accumulation of toxins and pollution causes it to mutate out of control, it will be troublesome."

Frank shook his head and rejected the proposal, then looked at Paz who was standing aside and said:

"I recently researched a plant that can produce fish. You just need to put the prepared seeds into the belly of a live fish and then bury it in the soil. The seeds will grow in less than a day. It grows into a strong vine and bears fresh fish.”

"And we are free to choose the species of fish, but the fish grown from the vines all have the same taste, and the texture may be different from normal fish. Other than that, it has nothing to do with normal fish. the difference."

The black cat squatting on the deck beside him arched his back and stared at Frank as if he had seen a natural enemy:

"What kind of devil are you! Why do you do this to my little fish!"

"To be honest, those fish are not dried fish before they are dried, so I didn't do anything bad to your dried fish."

Frank corrected Paz with a serious expression, saying that he didn't have Huo Huo's beloved dried fish.

Plant a fish in the soil in the morning, and harvest a basket of fish in the evening. Is it time to plant Sister Moon next?
Renekton's thoughts were swirling in his mind for a while, and he couldn't help but look at Frank curiously and asked:

"Can we grow creatures other than fish? After all, this is the sea, and there is no shortage of all kinds of sea fish."

"It's not possible yet. The body structures of different species are different. At present, this kind of plant can only copy and grow the body of fish."

"What do you want to eat? Beef or mutton? Or poultry? I'll ask them to prepare more for the next resupply of the Future. By then, they should be able to develop plants that can grow cattle, sheep, or even chickens and ducks. "

Frank said with some enthusiasm, and the expression on his face was visibly excited.

"I'm just curious to ask. These meats are not difficult to buy. I don't think it is necessary to study this plant deliberately. Instead of studying these novel plants, it is better to improve some existing crops."

"For example, coffee, milk and sugar are combined together to directly produce finished brewed coffee."

"What a good idea. Why didn't I think of this before? Although most of the crew members on the ship don't like coffee, they can be turned into a production line and sell these products in exchange for research funds."

The more Frank talked, the more excited he became. He put his arm around Renekton's shoulders and said:
"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria to have some late-night snacks and chat while eating. A lot of inspiration suddenly came to my mind."

The next morning, the "Future" advanced a long distance along the whaling route, and the number of ships in the surrounding waters decreased significantly.

Renekton sat on the side of the bow of the "Future", blowing the cold sea breeze in the morning and admiring the sunrise on the sea.

He casually dragged out a piece of pale yellow blank paper from the void, rubbed it gently with the fingers of his right hand, and used starlight to create a translucent pen, which he kept sketching on the paper. The pen made of starlight was magically drawn on the paper leaving behind brightly colored lines.

Paz curled up and leaned against the side of the boat, yawning sleepily and complaining dissatisfiedly:

"Meow. Why did you go to the bow of the boat to blow the wind without sleeping so early in the morning? And why did you drag me out of the nest too!"

"Do you want to eat the special dried fish that Frank prepared for you? The one that was planted last night and just picked from the vine this morning."

Renekton said in a calm voice while drawing colorful lines on the paper.

Paz stopped talking, hung his head and huddled up. He felt that eating the fish grown by Frank was the greatest insult to a cat.

Klein also appeared on the deck at some unknown time. He pressed the half-high silk top hat on his head with one hand to prevent it from being blown away by the howling sea wind. He said hesitantly:

"Grown fish?" Renekton nodded and said without raising his head:
"You should have met Frank, the first mate on this ship. He is a druid. His biggest hobby is studying all kinds of strange plants and animals."

"He recently achieved the achievement of burying fish in the soil at night and harvesting a grape rack of fish the next morning. He is currently trying his best to promote his products to others. If you go to the canteen now, you will see all the fish. He grew all the food last night.”

"It's hard to evaluate, but there should be no shortage of fish in the sea, right?"

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched. Based on his limited knowledge from last night to now, he felt that there was something wrong with the crew of the "Future". This "Star Admiral" brought a boatload of problem children. Including the person and cat in front of me.

While the two were talking, two whaling ships appeared on the sea ahead. As soon as they noticed the flag flying on the "Future", they responded quickly.

The two whaling ships quickly adjusted their positions and pointed their sides towards this side. The cannons placed on both sides of the ship were ready to fire.

A deep blue, almost purple glow flashed across Renekton's eyes. His gaze spanned a long distance and clearly saw the situation on the two whalers.

The group of tall fishermen from the Gargas Islands with light blond hair were standing or squatting, holding steel forks and guns in their hands, looking in the direction of the "Future" with unusual vigilance.

The leader among them is a tall woman who is almost a small giant. Her body gives people a particularly heavy feeling, and she is particularly capable of beating at a glance.

protector? With this kind of strength, he should be the leader among the natives of the Gargas Islands. Renekton pondered a few words in his heart and stopped thinking about this issue.

The "Future" didn't care about the reactions of the two whaling ships, and passed directly by, heading deeper into the whaling route.

After sailing for nearly half an hour, several pirate ships appeared in the sea ahead. They were flying different flags and did not seem to belong to the same pirate group.

After the "Future" approached, these pirate ships quickly fled here like frightened birds.

"What are they doing?" Klein looked sideways at Renekton who was sitting on the side of the ship with some confusion.

A dark blue-to-purple glow quickly appeared in the latter's eyes. After collecting the surrounding information through his voyeuristic eyes, the glow flowing in his eyes gradually faded, and he looked at the sea not far away and whispered:
"Someone discovered a relic that is said to be from the Quaternary Age on the seabed here. Those pirates should have been preparing to send people down to investigate."

Klein remembered that the news he heard in Nath's bar had already spread. No wonder the pirates spread the news carelessly.

Thinking of this, Klein looked at Renekton curiously and asked, "Then the ruins of the Fourth Age really exist?"

Renekton thought about his situation, chuckled and said:
"It's not really a relic. It's just a deep-sea drilling well. Because it's too deep, it connects to things deep underground."

Drilling? Can the technology of this era be able to drill wells in the deep sea? Rely on extraordinary power? Could it be that it was left behind by Russell when he was searching for oil?
Thoughts passed through Klein's mind quickly. He vaguely grasped something, but it was fleeting and he could not really understand it.

Renekton glanced at Klein calmly, and then looked past him to the crew members of the Future who came out of the cabin.

Before he could take the initiative to say hello, Frank and Nina had already moved over.

"Good morning, Al, and Hermann. You all got up very early. I didn't even see you in the restaurant."

"Paz, you little heartless one, you abandoned me as soon as Al returned to the ship, right? Do you know that last night I lay in bed alone and couldn't fall asleep?"

Nina half-crouched down with exaggerated expressions and movements. Before Paz could react, she hugged him in her arms and kneaded her somewhat oversized chest. The sea breeze blew over her body, bringing up a wave of Some pungent smell of alcohol.

"Uh-huh. Help meow~"

"I can't breathe."

Paz struggled in Nina's arms for a long time, and finally managed to get his head out. He looked at Renekton with a weak and helpless look.

Renekton turned his gaze slightly, pretending not to see Paz's pleading look.

"Hey, Al, good morning. Where's that rabbit in a suit and tie that you raised? Where is he? Tell him to come out and play with me."

While squeezing Paz in her arms, Nina briefly said hello to Renekton, and then began to ask where Bugs Bunny was. While speaking, she did not forget to look around for Bugs Bunny.

"I left it in the Southern Continent. The place I'm going to is more dangerous, so I can't take good care of it."

"Besides, you can't eat what's in the bowl and think about what's in the pot."

While speaking, Renekton pointed at Paz, who was held in Nina's arms.

Nina pushed back Paz who stuck out his head with one hand, and said in a disdainful tone:
"Isn't this normal? Isn't it the same for you men? Who is not coaxing you at home and thinking about the Red Theater at the same time?"

This is a bit of a mistake. Although I live at sea, I don’t have a family, and I won’t go to a place like the Red Theater. Even if I go, it’s just to complete the mission. Klein defended himself in his mind. recalled the other party's information.

"Undersea Killer" Nina, the boatswain of the Star Pirates, has a bounty of 3600 pounds. She has seen too many bounties, and sometimes people who see the bounties cannot recall the other party's information for a while.

While Klein was recalling the other party’s identity, Nina had already introduced herself aloud:

"Good morning, Mr. Sparrow, I am the bosun on the Future and the navigator's mate, Nina."
