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

Klaus felt he was very ordinary.

He's just a slightly talented, top-notch engineer.

Perhaps he's also a little bit handsome.

And the cutest little sister in the world,

Um......

There's also a slight case of obsessive-compulsive disorder and a bit of germaphobia.

Spend two hours each day cleaning the deck to ensure every piece of wood looks brand new.

Tuck the cable in according to the fixed number of turns and direction.

He loved order.

And isn't the scene before us a little too cruel?

Looking at Ivan's excited waving gesture and Ren Yi's clear and sincere gaze, he didn't seem to think anything was wrong.

Klaus took several deep breaths in succession.

Then, without saying a word, he stepped forward, took a rope, and tied Katyusha and the ghost bone boat together again.

Finally, he jumped onto the "slaughterhouse" with a blank expression.

Klaus carefully avoided the corpses and bloodstains without looking to the side, and started a fire in a relatively clean little spot.

[Hilarious, Klaus has given up on treatment.]

[It doesn't matter, I'll find a clean place myself.]

[The ultimate level of obsessive-compulsive disorder: carving out a pure land in a garbage dump.]

[Your mental resilience has improved again! Congratulations!]

He casually touched his chin.

Great, the desensitization therapy is showing initial results, but we can't push people too hard!

He walked over to the pile of bird carcasses and reached out his hand.

The blue light flashed continuously.

The mountain of bird carcasses gradually disappeared, turning into courage and being stored in the warehouse.

"Boss, aren't you a doctor?"

Ivan asked curiously, as Ren Yi took off his soaking wet, dusty gray shirt, revealing a slightly thin but well-defined upper body.

There were several scars of varying depths on it.

He had gunshot wounds and numerous burns.

"Field medic"

Simply rinse off the sticky residue and grime from your head and body with fresh water.

"No wonder..." Ivan suddenly realized, "Boss, which battlefield were you on? You're badly injured!"

"..."

He paused briefly, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with disinfectant seemed to dispel the salty sea breeze, lingering around his nose.

He didn't know how to explain, so he could only vaguely say:

"Back then... there were no borders..."

Ivan's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask further questions,

"Come and get something to eat."

Klaus abruptly interrupted Ivan and Renyi's conversation.

The three sat around the warm fire, with Xiao Jiu peeking over Klaus's head to watch the seagull meat bubbling in the pot.

While waiting, I randomly opened the warehouse panel to check my gains from this trip.

In addition to the special items: [Unidentified Sailor's Log*1, Pendant Containing Longing*1, Stranger's Skull*1]

The most abundant harvest was of biological materials:

【(???) High-concentration flesh and blood *334, strong fascia *46, whale oil *94, strong stomach pouch *1, high-concentration digestive fluid *100, giant gastrolith *3, flexible biological duct *48, bioactive catalyst *55, deep-sea tears *6, corrosive gland *1, segmented carapace *20, high-energy biomass *117, combustible fat *187, semi-cooked ambergris *40, mutated seagull meat (3 days) *1268, feathers *2483, fat *147】

After taking stock of his spoils, he couldn't wait to open the [Evolution] panel.

really,

After acquiring the rare materials, new options appeared on the panel.

[Ruminant Digestion Module (Lv0) > Ruminant Digestion Module (Lv1)]

[Evolutionary Requirements:]

【1. A strong stomach (1/1)】

2. High-concentration digestive fluid (100/10)

【3. Flexible biological catheter (48/10)】

4. Bioactive Catalysts (55/5)

【5. Evolution Points (130/10)】

Another option is a module in the belly of the hull.

[Biological buffer layer (Lv.1) > Biological buffer layer (Lv.2)]

[Evolutionary Requirements:]

1. Strong fascia (46/30)

2. Fat (178/80)

【3. Evolution Points (130/100)】

The gaze can move freely between the two options.

Upgrading the Ruminant Digestion Module to Lv1 only requires 10 evolution points.

However, the demand for the biological buffer layer jumped from 10 points to 100 points from Lv1 to Lv2.

It increased tenfold!

Looking at his newly acquired 130 evolution points, which he hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet, Renyi realized that module upgrades were a bottomless pit.

But he didn't hesitate to upgrade both modules.

Efficiency is important, but so is defense.

With improved defense, they can deal with higher-level monsters and gain evolution points faster.

"evolution."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost bone boat beneath him suddenly shuddered.

"Buzz—"

That resilient stomach, like a living, breathing fleshy blanket, integrates into the rumination and digestion module.

Other materials also seemed to come alive, meandering into the floor and connecting the ruminant digestion module with other modules.

"Gurgle...hiccup!"

The ghost bone boat let out a long burp, and the entire hull rose and fell slightly as a result.

[Holy crap! The ship hiccuped! I heard it!]

[These upgrade effects are so cool, I love them!]

However, this is just the beginning.

"Splash—"

The ghost bone boat was lifted up by an invisible force.

Nearly a hundred units of fat transformed into a golden liquid, like splashed paint, evenly covering the skeleton on the outside of the ship's hull.

And those tough, strong fascia,

They then transformed into countless translucent threads, weaving together to perfectly blend the golden fat and white bones.

The originally somewhat rugged skeletal structure was covered by translucent elastic tissue.

The tissue had a peculiar texture under sunlight, and you could even see a faint light slowly flowing inside.

The entire process took only a dozen seconds and was full of the beauty of life's creation.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp "click" sound,

All the light subsided, and the ghostly bone boat slowly descended back onto the water, creating only a small ripple.

Its hull outline remains unchanged, but the feeling it gives is completely different.

If it was previously an elegant skeleton filled with the aura of death,

Now,

On this skeleton, there is already a kind of life force that can bring the dead back to life.

[Evolution successful!]

[Ruminant Digestion Module (Lv.1)]

[Function: Decomposes input organic matter into bioenergy to enhance other modules. Current conversion efficiency: 50%.]

[Comment: I hope you stop trying to fool it with empty promises. PS: It can now taste the real value of your empty promises.]

He raised an eyebrow.

Picky eater?

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

He then looked at another module.

[Evolution successful!]

【Biological Buffer Layer (Lv.2)】

[Function: Absorbs 70% of wave impact and provides shock absorption protection when the hull is hit.]

[Skill: Absolute Defensive Stance]

[Absolute Defensive Stance: Upon active activation, the ship's hull's abdominal muscles will instantly harden, temporarily forming high-density bio-armor, reducing impact damage by an additional 50% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours.]

[Comment: Congratulations! Your boat has successfully entered the next Mr. Olympia competition. PS: It suggests you start working out too, otherwise it'll be embarrassing to take you out.]

"..."

He closed the panel without any expression.
