Master a little skill every day

Bai Miao looked in Emma's direction and saw a little surprise in Emma's eyes, and then she smiled helplessly.

In the unstoppable flow of time, Bai Miao lay back to the morning of that original day.

"Captain...we have entered..."

"I know, this is the sixth cycle, right?"

Bai Miao interrupted Emma's words. Emma stared and asked in a trembling tone: "You...how did you..."

"I don't know why, but I can suddenly remember that I have been rebooted, and I have retained my previous memories. Let's hold a ministerial meeting. Emma, ​​you don't have to endure the cycle alone in the future."

There is no benefit in hiding that you are not affected by the cycle. As a captain, it makes sense to become immune after a few cycles, right?

Even if Kaguya asked, Bai Miao could use the reason that Kaguya didn't know what he did after getting off the ship.

Emma took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions: "Yes, I will convene a ministerial meeting immediately."

In this meeting, Emma narrated the previous cycles, and Bai Miao focused on the last cycle alone.

"The second and fifth cycles were restarted directly after interfering with the meteorite, which means that the meteorite is part of the core logic of the restart."

"Why? Is Shi Yan's civilization on that meteorite?"

Kaguya also thinks that Tokiyomi ran into space with civilization just like him, and is now ready to come back.

But the captain smashed the meteorite directly into pieces in the second cycle, and sent the meteorite into solar orbit in the fifth cycle. Either one would lead to the destruction of civilization.

Restarting makes sense.

"When we sent the anti-gravity device to the meteorite in the last cycle, we also scanned the meteorite. There were no living things on it. It was a pure iron meteorite."

Bai Miao really has nothing to do with this meteorite.

You can't move, and if you don't do anything, it will restart in up to 20 days.

"This time we will use the anti-gravity device we developed to launch into the sky. We will follow the meteorite and see where it will go after it falls into the sea!"

The meteorite cannot move, but it is a good clue.

Looking at what happened next from the perspective of the meteorite should also be of great reference value.

It took about a day to build the anti-gravity device, and then the Infinite Energy sailed forward at an altitude of about 2000 meters.

After reaching high altitude, Bai Miao realized something.

My own pathfinding seems to have no Z-axis at long distances.

During the lift-off process, the direction of the pathfinding prompts is the same, and it does not become diagonally downward due to the increase in height.

It was only after Kaguya landed on the island that she had the guidance of the moon.

Flying high, the viewing angle is wider. At least Bai Miao can see that there is very little land in very far away places.

It is possible that the Shiyan civilization was under the sea level, and this speculation gradually came to mind.

The fourth cycle encountered several deep-sea fish that should not appear on the sea level. It should be that something happened in the deep sea.

At the same time and place as last time, the meteorite crashed.

This time, Bai Miao followed the meteorite with the Endless Energy, avoiding the rising steam and waves caused by the meteorite falling into the sea, and stopped at a height of [-] meters.

"Get ready, I'm going to the sea."

"Captain?! Are you planning to go to the sea? We can definitely send out detectors to detect what is happening below. It will not be too affected if we just obtain environmental data."

Irina, the Minister of Operations and Management, knows better than anyone the effects of being in the sea.

The equipment worn on the body will have a higher failure rate, lower visibility, and temperatures close to freezing.

In such a dark and cold environment, it is undoubtedly a test of the spirit.

"If something happens, I can come back after the cycle."

The self in the loop will be resurrected when restarting.

This is different from Kaguya's recovery, it is a true return.

After all, restarting is to eliminate all possibilities of errors and find the right path.

Of course, it is also possible that the condition for breaking the cycle is death.

But this does not explain why it suddenly restarted several times in the past.

You can't say that Shi Yan restarted after seeing the meteorite and didn't kill him, right?

"You should also know that if Shi Yan is really in the sea, then I will go down there too."

No instrument or equipment can accurately find the whereabouts of smoke in a sea with severe interference.

Only people can.

To ensure safety, Bai Miao was put on two layers of protective clothing.

One layer is exoskeleton armor, and the outer layer has an additional diving suit.

The diving suit is very thick, and one end is connected to the Endless Energy. It can use wires to transmit information, and can also pull Bai Miao up from the sea at critical moments.

Bai Miao was reluctant to take other crew members to the sea. First of all, there was only one door-knocker in the operations management department. Judging from the performance of this door-knocker in the previous two times looking for accessories, he could not help much, although he could Seeking help from Punt through the door-knocker network, but in the unpredictable sea, it is hard to say how much Punt can analyze with limited information.

It's better to cycle through it several times to find a breaking point.

On the contrary, once you take this door-knocker with you, you will not be able to take only one crew member to the sea. At least you will have to take more crew members. If there is a guy among these crew members who is mentally polluted and goes crazy, it will be even worse. Affect the progress of your own investigation.

Now that Bai Miao has many skills that are helpful for working in the sea, such as diving, underwater breathing, and underwater vision, there is really no need to hold him back.

"Be prepared to collect various physiological data of the captain after he goes into the sea. Wiener, you have prepared a psychological assessment of the captain in advance, and the security department has done a good job in responding to the shallow sea area. The operations management department has also sent some members to go into the sea. Gather information on nearby waters.”

Emma was not idle either, giving other instructions while Bai Miao was putting on his equipment.

"Good luck."

The ministers stood on the deck and watched the captain dive until he disappeared into the dark ocean.

The ocean did not affect Bai Miao's sight. On the contrary, Bai Miao could see more clearly than on the sea.

The most remarkable thing is that he can directly see the burning meteorite on the surface under his feet.

The light of the meteorite illuminated an area of ​​nearly a kilometer of sea, clearly illuminating all kinds of fish in it.

High-temperature magma flows under the sea, turning it into a hell.

The depth of the seabed here is about 5000 meters, far less than the 89452 meters in the deepest trench of the Terra Ocean.

Even Bai Miao's distance estimation effect is still effective.

Bai Miao felt that he could perform better in the sea.

At a vertical distance, if there is a light source, you can see the end of [-] meters at a glance, which is better than the perception ability of most ocean fish in Terra.

That meteorite is now a continuously glowing heat source, and it is still bringing a large amount of hot magma to the seabed.

The submarine volcano seems to have been triggered by this meteorite, and the seabed has become quite bad.

But Bai Miao still didn't see any trace of civilization here.

It seems that the chain impact caused by the meteorite has not officially begun yet.

Bai Miao did not continue to dive, but quietly observed at a depth of about [-] meters.

After so many cycles, Bai Miao didn't believe that Shi Yan didn't react.

There was no way she hadn't realized the meteorite had landed.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Bai Miao saw a group of mermaid-like creatures surrounding the meteorite.

Obviously he came prepared.

It's better to say it's a mermaid than a hairtail fish with human hands.

Their bodies are very flat, but their fingers are very flexible. They seem to be using the tools in their hands to dig at the sand and gravel around the meteorite.

The surrounding seawater should have been boiling, with the temperature exceeding two hundred degrees, but these mermaids continued to operate as if they were not affected by anything.

But the good times did not last long. As one of the mermaids stopped working and became unable to float, more and more mermaids continued to float, seemingly losing their vital signs.

In the sea above, there are already marine predators waiting for this feast.

Then the thing that worried Bai Miao the most happened.

After eating the mermaids, these predators fell into a state of madness and began to rampage, and then time was restarted.

After the new cycle began, Bai Miao informed the others of the information.

"There is a civilization in the sea, and it is most likely the civilization that Shi Yan is responsible for, because the meteorite civilization is suffering from annihilation.

"But I still can't figure it out, why did you restart it even though I sent the meteorite away?"

Without the guidance of the smoke from the previous cycles, those mermaids would not have appeared at the meteorite landing site as scheduled.

They looked like they wanted to bury the meteorite under the sea, but they died suddenly during the operation, and the body was swallowed by the upper levels of the food chain.

These predators who ate the corpses became crazy again...

Food chain enrichment?

There are harmful substances in meteorites that kill these mermaids and make the fish that eat them go crazy?

"Kaguya, you know more about medicine than I do. What is the possibility of a terrible virus spreading in the deep sea?"

"Terra's ocean conditions have always been complicated... The seawater conditions are different in different sea areas and at different depths. If fish can adapt, microorganisms can basically only survive within a specific range, and the possibility of spreading to a large area is extremely low. , but a well-adapted virus appears in a small area and reproduces in large numbers, which happens almost all the time. But if this happens in a certain place, the probability is very low."

"Broadcast the situation I encountered in the last cycle and let the entire crew of the ship think about what might be going on."

Bai Miao felt that he was already in over his head.

Why does it restart if I send the meteorite away, and why does it restart if the meteorite falls?

This is too contradictory!

Didn’t I help solve the problem of meteorites?

Emma sorted out the information and then announced to the entire crew.

"To inform everyone on the Endless Energy, we have entered the time loop range... Below are some details of the last loop. I hope anyone with information will actively contact the captain or the captain's secretary."

Not long after the announcement was sent out, Wang Xiang came to find him.

Bai Miao had a good impression of this crew member who could give many important suggestions. If Zhuo Xinzhi had not received the reward last time, he would have planned to let him choose one too.

If he can give a big clue this time, it would be a good idea to use this as a reason for him to choose a prop.

"Punt, do you have any clues? Why does it restart when I remove the meteorite, and why does it restart after I let the meteorite fall? Isn't the meteorite the culprit of the restart?"

After hearing Bai Miao's question, Punte shook his head and nodded: "Captain, have you ever thought about the possibility that Shi Yan doesn't want you to help?"

"?"

Chapter 139 Misunderstanding

"After the meteorite falls, time will restart. If we destroy the meteorite or send away the meteorite, time will restart. And the time restart point happens to be after we operate on the meteorite. So we can guess that it was our help in solving the meteorite crisis that caused the restart. "

Wang Xiang pushed up his glasses habitually, although he was not wearing them now.

"After the meteorite fell into the sea, the large predator that ate the mermaid fell into a state of madness. It should be that the meteorite itself had some kind of impact, whether it was a virus or pollution. At the same time, the madness of this large predator was not Shi Yan. Events that the civilization can handle, but allowing this predator to go crazy will lead to the extinction of the civilization.

"Based on the above inference, it can be concluded that the condition for restart is that the meteorite crisis has triggered a chain that leads to the extinction of civilization, or that the crisis is not resolved by one's own civilization."

After listening to Punte's analysis, Bai Miao felt that he was inseparable.

The meteorite did not fall into the sea on time. In Shi Yan's judgment, it was solved by outsiders, so a restart was triggered.

The meteorite fell into the sea, and Shi Yan discovered that civilization was still unable to handle the subsequent series of crises, which also triggered a restart.

This guy is quite awkward.

Bai Miao couldn't understand the reason why Shi Yan set it up like this.

We’ve all been implicated in the cycle, can’t we help?

Or is it okay to help, but not directly solve the problem?

Bai Miao decided to find Shi Yan again this time and ask for details.

There are ten days before the meteorite lands, and it only takes about one day for the Endless Energy to rush to the meteorite landing site at full speed.

After arriving at the location, Bai Miao put on a diving suit and went into the sea alone.
