National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Regret.

He sighed softly.

When he saw the amazingly skeletal [Steel Fist King Crab] emerge out of nowhere, the blueprints in his mind started to come to life on their own.

【Deep Sea Shadow】is great in every way, except that once on land, it moves entirely on its belly.

This is very undignified.

It lacked the majesty of a maritime overlord.

If only we could detach those eight thick, long legs and load them onto our own boat...

Transform from no drive to eight drive in one go!

Not only are they suitable for swamps, hills, gravel, and sand, but they can also hang upside down on the branches of giant trees like spiders, and even cling to the rock face when encountering steep cliffs.

Renyi thought to himself, "This thing is called 'Steel Fist,' so I guess its pincers are made of some kind of titanium alloy, right?"

As a result, the crab shell was preserved... but the pure carbon-based legs were completely destroyed.

He sadly approached the still-hot crab shell:

[Decomposable target detected: Lv8 Steel Fist Emperor Crab Remains (Special)]

[Confirm decomposition?]

"confirm."

A flash of blue light, and the round shell that occupied half the deck vanished without a trace.

[Obtained: Luna Titanium Alloy*45, Premium Crab Meat*120 (Days*7), High-Concentration Crab Roe*50 (Days*2), Energy Core β*1, Evolved Breathing Gill*1]

That's quite a windfall.

Titanium alloys and energy cores are familiar terms.

He handed the moon-white metal directly to Klaus.

"Forty-five units. Fantastic! Enough to rebuild two more sets with ample materials!"

Ivan: "...Wait a minute?"

Ber, brother.

"Then what was that set you made for me before? Did you cut corners?!"

"That's an experimental model." Klaus didn't even look up, gesturing with the Newton. "Besides, your physique is practically useless anyway!"

No one may participate in the "friendship" segment.

As the old acquaintances expanded their food reserves, they also paired up the "battery packs".

There was one unfamiliar face.

It consists of two whole, semi-fan-shaped, grayish-white fleshy layers—

How to describe it... Two ginkgo leaves magnified hundreds of times, their surfaces covered with honeycomb-like pores. Even without trypophobia, just looking at them makes your blood pressure soar.

They are about half a person tall.

Even when detached from the body, it maintains a gentle pulsation.

[Evolved respiratory gills]

[Review: A completely natural super filter. To survive in an environment rife with heavy metals and radiation, it pushed its lung capacity to the limit. PS: To put it another way, it can turn secondhand smoke into a high-altitude oxygen bar.]

Super filter?

These words struck a nerve.

Although its reviews suggest it's for filtering air, it's a deep-sea creature after all, and it can filter heavy metals and radioactive pollutants...

Artifact!

His [Biological Purification Device Lv2] currently provides 50 liters of fresh water per day, which is barely enough for so many people at sea. They can wash clothes and take showers freely.

Don't even think about it.

The gills arrived just in time; he picked up the giant, honeycomb-shaped seaweed and opened the evolution panel:

[High-match evolutionary material detected.]

[Biological Purification Device (Lv2) → Biological Purification Device (Lv3)]

[Evolutionary Requirements:]

【1. Evolved Breathing Gills (1/1) ✔】

【2. Flexible biological catheter (48/20) ✔】

【3. Bioactive Catalyst (76/20) ✔】

【4. Evolution Points (12864/1000) ✔】

[Is evolution confirmed?]

For someone whose turnover is growing larger and larger, this amount of spending is nothing.

"confirm."

Now, the "organs" of [Deep Sea Shadow] are very well concealed, and the sounds of tearing and reassembly are constantly heard in the area that is not visible under everyone's feet.

I 'saw' anything.

The cylindrical structure of the biological purification device has been deformed, the diameter of the water pipe connected below has been increased by more than three times, and the pipe has several layers of gray-white "filters".

Moreover, a row of flat ventilation ducts has been added above it, extending and merging into the hull.

A completely redesigned control panel was now displayed before my eyes:

[Biological Purification Device (Lv3)]

[Function 1: Water filtration. Converts seawater into potable purified water. Current daily output: 300 liters.]

[Function 2: Oxygen production. It converts miasma and toxic fumes into oxygen when present around the ship or inside the cabins.]

[Review: It's incredibly powerful now... even septic tank sludge can be filtered to a slightly sweet taste. PS: I want to ask you... if you dare!]

He read it carefully, word by word, and then fell into a long silence.

Did Hydra realize that sarcasm and ridicule couldn't hurt him, so she resorted to disgusting him instead?

How childish.

Finally, under the curious gaze of everyone—including the crew and the viewers in the live stream—he shared the contents of the panel.

"..."

The viewers in the live stream also noticed the small print.

[Holy crap, I'm just a spectator! Have some boundaries, will you?!]

[...Wow, suddenly my bubble tea doesn't taste so good anymore.]

This isn't a test of purification ability, it's a test of one's bottom line!

[Coffin Guy's expression is frozen, hahaha.]

"Water supply has increased sixfold!"

Clearly, Klaus selectively only saw the line "Current daily production: 300 liters".

He excitedly rushed back to the cabin, turned on the tap, and started rinsing.

Klaus, of course, knew that Ren could sense everything happening on the ship. After filling the container with water, he tilted his head back and shouted at the ceiling:

"Boss, this water tastes sweet! It's so much better than the ones we filtered before. Want to try some?"

Sweetness...

"...Drink more." He casually advised.

"I'm not thirsty today."

I shouldn't feel thirsty for the next few days...

However, in any case, this time there is not only enough water for daily use, but also enough water for planting if rainwater is stored.

space.

Evolving to the [Abyss] needs to be put on the agenda.

Ren Yi was calculating how many more special creatures he would need to "fish" for before he could install the Luna Titanium Alloy Exoskeleton on the ship.

"Boss..."

Nathan suddenly raised his voice, "The fog has lifted."

The white fog is dissipating.

Moreover, it doesn't seem to be blown by the wind or flowing naturally, but rather like a life form that has been frightened and is retreating.

They faded away very slowly, and it wasn't until now, when visibility had more than doubled and was increasing rapidly, that Nathan noticed them.

The air still retained the heat from the solar flare.

Perhaps because they had been discovered, the living creatures in the mist, as if afraid of death, quickened their pace of curling up again.

Visibility also increased from less than 20 meters to several nautical miles in just a few minutes.

Not far away.

A brown outline came into their view, with something golden shining on it. Further away, the rooftops stretched out in a staggered pattern, forming a small cluster of buildings.

A port?!

And it's a populated port!
