After wiping his body, Yang Sheng directly took out a set of clean clothes from his "mobile phone" and put them on from inside to outside. Considering that he had to cook soon, he did not touch the Yingying monster, even though he knew it was very clean.

I carried the lobster to the kitchen upstairs and used a long triangle kitchen knife to cut a clean and neat cut at the back of the lobster's head. With a slight twist, I removed its skull. I rinsed it twice, turned it over in hot water with the shell, and then fished it out to open its back.

The main reason is that the meat of this magic lobster is too soft and tender. When it is raw, it will stick to the shell. It needs to be slightly fixed with boiling water to separate the meat from the shell.

Cut the shrimp meat into small cubes, boil the two big crabs for a while, then take them out, smash them, remove the shells, and share one with the Yingying monster.

I opened a can of corn, a can of green beans, and chopped some carrots, and blanch them all in boiling water. Then I melted some butter in a pan, put all the ingredients in and stir-fried them for a few times. Then I added the overnight rice and stir-fried them over high heat for thirty seconds.

Two servings of seafood rice with plenty of ingredients, color, aroma and taste were freshly prepared, one for him and one for the Yingying monster.

The claws of the Yingying monster are very flexible. It has learned to eat with a spoon like humans. It also has a huge appetite. Maybe its stomach also has spatial properties. After eating, it doesn't need to wash the dishes. It will lick the plates clean and run away without a trace.

……

Zhuo Yisi only appeared here in the afternoon.

It brought news that was both unexpected and expected for Yang Sheng.

In addition to the daily supplies from the "Misty Realm Space" and the results of comparative experiments, the mysterious country overcame the technical difficulties of [photovoltaic panels] by studying the samples provided by Yang Sheng.

That is, the batch manufacturing process of single crystal silicon materials.

Unexpectedly, he did not expect that under the influence of the "Heavenly Demon Pest" theme, the mysterious country could produce results so quickly. As expected, the "Hell Joke" laptop computer he provided contained some things about the future development of energy strategies. On the premise that there is no big difference from the development of technological routes in this world, with the strategic layout of the mysterious country, it will definitely explore related fields.

Yang Sheng had signed several memoranda with Zheng Zhi before. In return for avoiding the dead end of technological development, he could get some profit share in these patents of the mysterious country of "The World of Heavenly Demon Pest".

The share is not large, but he does not need to invest in the future industrial layout. In the future, this will be an industry worth trillions or even tens of trillions of dollars. Even the specific number represented by a decimal point will be a huge amount.

"Tsk

, the era of energy strategy..."

After listening to Zhuo Yisi's report, Yang Sheng smacked his lips.

According to the development trend of the "World of Heavenly Demon Pests", in the next ten or twenty years, as long as the problem of heavenly demon pests cannot be completely solved, Yang Sheng does not know whether themes of carbon neutrality and carbon tax will emerge.

0055

Emily was picked up by Yang Sheng the next day.

Luo Ruier had to go to work and Zhuo Yisi was catching up on her sleep. Early in the morning, Yang Sheng got up like a hardworking little bee, prepared breakfast, and then teleported to the villa in Shanghai to bring Emily back.

There is a time difference between the two sides. It is not early morning over there, but a little after nine in the morning.

Emily didn't expect Yang Sheng to come to pick her up, so she had already finished her morning lessons here.

When they came back, Zhuo Yisi was in high spirits and waiting at the dining table. The three of them had breakfast together.

"What are your plans for the morning?"

Because she had just come from Shanghai, Emily was wearing a white T-shirt and a ponytail, a common outfit in school, and looked beautiful and pure.

"Zhuo Yisi and I haven't done our morning exercises yet. Let's do it on the boat later."

Yang Sheng was also dressed in a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, but the color of the T-shirt was very plain, and it seemed to match Emily very well.

"Ah? I still have to do it..."

I don’t know what Zhuo Yisi was thinking. It was obvious that she was distracted, and what she said and did was completely different from what Yang Sheng said.

Emily was stunned at first, then burst out laughing, patted her boyfriend on the shoulder and teased:

"What did you do to her? Why do you feel stupid?"

Yang Sheng had a strange smile on his face, which might be pride upon closer inspection... and he looked at Zhuo Yisi with a bit of doting. The latter also reacted, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

She originally had an extremely delicate appearance, just like the face of a celebrity in a parallel universe, as if produced on an industrial assembly line. But after becoming a wife, maybe appearance reflects the heart, or maybe hehehehehe really has the effect of changing a person's temperament, her appearance has not changed much, but her temperament and recognition have greatly increased. At least now, if she is mixed with internet celebrities and those celebrities from South Korea, Yang Sheng can definitely recognize her at a glance.

"Leave a note later saying the three of us are out having fun and will be back before Emily starts school."

"Oh... okay," Zhuo Yisi nodded quickly in response.

"So we're going out to play... But there's nothing fun outside, there are fishmen everywhere, we might as well stay on the island and play kissing."

Emily leaned into Yang Sheng's arms, acting like a little bird.

"It's different. This time we have a purpose." Yang Sheng touched her head and put his hand on her waist without moving. He knew how sensitive his wife was. Usually, she would take the initiative to drag him: "Elbow, follow me into the house." "One thousand to two thousand kilometers to the west, there should be a base of human civilization. Well, to be more precise, it is a humanoid civilization. The information given by the spirits of heaven and earth summoned by the way-seeking and divination is very vague. Now we have a foothold, so we have to go over and confirm it with our own eyes."

"Are we going to fight?" Emily's eyes lit up and she asked eagerly.

"No," Yang Sheng laughed, rubbed her head and said, "We are not going to fight, we are just going to gather information."

"Oh..." Emily was a little disappointed. "I hope there is a bit of magical civilization there, not like Stuart County, which is just a large medieval village that is ignorant and backward."

"Do you want to bring anything?"

When Zhuo Yisi heard that she could go out with Yang Sheng, she was overjoyed and put the embarrassment just now behind her.

"I don't think I need to bring anything. Oh... By the way, I collected a batch of average quality shell necklaces and magic pearls. Bring those with you. Also, some magic crystals I got when I modified the island's terrain. These should be hard currency. If we can communicate with the other party, they will be good trade items."

"Okay, what about the clothes...do I need to bring them?" Zhuo Yisi asked.

Yang Sheng smiled as he looked at her black swimsuit. "That's not necessary. I don't know the other party's level of civilization and ethnic customs yet. I can just customize the corresponding clothing directly from the mobile phone APP when the time comes."

……

After the meal, the three of them cleared the table and made some preparations. Then they went outside to release the "Submarine Airship No. 2", activated the [Teleportation Scepter] and boarded the ship to set off.

……

With the speed of a submarine airship, no matter it is one thousand kilometers or two thousand kilometers, it will arrive in one day or at most half a night. However, this trip is also half tourism and half reconnaissance in nature.

Therefore, Yang Sheng did not rush on his journey. Instead, he kept the submarine airship close to the sea surface and used a variety of reconnaissance methods to fly at a constant speed. If he detected any interesting islands or underwater conditions, he would fly over to take a closer look.

After relying on the mysterious country, Yang Sheng updated some good reconnaissance and detection equipment. After a little "thinking", the No. 2 airship, which is currently his main vehicle, has made great progress in reconnaissance and detection capabilities. It doesn't cost much, and it still follows the development path of "technology and magic" that even he can't explain clearly.

The first few hundred kilometers of the sea conditions were no different from those near Fruit Island. The bottom of the water and the islands that could be found were all densely packed with murlocs. However, after crossing a trench, the situation changed.

There was a sudden change.

That trench is probably more than ten kilometers wide, and I don't know how deep it is. I estimate that there is a geological structure similar to the cliffs on land underneath. On this side of the trench are a dozen scattered islands and endless mermen all over the seabed. On the other side of the trench, the number of mermen suddenly decreases, and the terrain also becomes undulating.

Submersible airship, the word "submersible" is not called that for nothing, it will follow the same direction when it goes into the sea. Yang Sheng drove the airship into the sea to check it out.

The ecosystems on this side of the trench are completely different from those on the other side. Perhaps because of the coral reefs, the ecology on that side of the trench is unusually rich. Despite the large number of fish and people, the underwater resources are still very abundant.

But this side of the trench can only be described as desolate. The seabed is made of solid rock, which may be a thick layer of rock formed by the cooling of magma erupted by underground volcanoes in the distant past.

You can only see some complete seaweed and seagrass plants, as well as small seafood no bigger than the size of a palm moving around. It is basically difficult to see large fish or marine life.

Moreover, the conditions on the seabed here were extremely complicated. Yang Sheng had to fly out to sea again after just a quick look. The good news was that before going out to sea, he found a strange signal source on the detection screen. After going over, he found a shipwreck and human-like skeletal remains on the seabed.

The better news is that this shipwreck is not haunted, and the humanoid skeletons in the cabins are not moving, and they are completely dead.

If it were a European or American movie, an explorer like him would definitely fish out the skeleton if he encountered such a situation, put the skull in a fish tank as a backdrop, or place it in the study as a display.

Yang Sheng was not a traditional person, but he also believed in burying the dead. He kept Submarine Airship No. 2 invisible and floating on the sea. After a careful exploration of the shipwreck, he buried all the skeletons he found.

The surrounding seabed and islands were all made of hard basalt. Fortunately, this was a magical world with magic crystals for support. He used [Fossils to Mud] to dig a large hole somewhere on the seabed and buried the carefully sorted and collected skeletons in it.

Based on the debris found in the cabin, he judged that the sunken ship was either a pirate ship or an exploration ship. The cargo hold was full of daily supplies, and there were special crew cabins where many remains of weapons and equipment could be found.

The history of this shipwreck may be hundreds of years. Even if it is magical equipment, if it does not have special targeted properties, it will be no different from a piece of ordinary iron after such a long time, and it will rust to the point where it cannot be pinched.

Unfortunately, no documents or carriers of recorded text or pictures can be found. These things are even more difficult to preserve, as they have long been soaked and rotted away.

It could also be that the captain is an uneducated person who doesn’t like to keep a diary, like a pirate… or that this world has not developed navigational norms that record detailed charts and voyage records.

After spending a few days here, Yang Sheng continued sailing westward after finishing his business.

It took half a day to cross this submarine basalt area. With the naked eye and the large-scale scanning of reconnaissance means, we can see that more and more islands are beginning to appear on the sea surface below, and these islands are showing signs of getting bigger and bigger.

However, most of the islands are also made of basalt, and the top is completely barren. At most, there are some moss-like attached plants in the shady areas with natural springs.

On a few islands with natural springs, artificial buildings and traces of human activities can be seen, which seem to be supply points for sea routes.

Just by magnifying some optical images, you can see that the creatures stationed or managing these supply points are orcs with green or brown skin, green faces, fangs, hunched backs, and wearing primitive leather armor, iron armor, or even bone armor.

Yang Sheng frowned, because he had previously communicated with the spirits of heaven and earth through magic, and although the information he obtained was vague, there were still obvious differences between humanoids and orcs.

"Orc, alive..."

"Wow, that head... when the back is stretched out straight, it must be about 3 meters long. It's so strong. The productivity of this world must be very high, otherwise it would be impossible to raise such a big guy."

"It could also be a racial talent, similar to that of the magic race, but their talent is physical, and they are big."

While observing the ground, Emily and Zhuo Yisi were also in the cab. They leaned their heads towards the screen in front of Yang Sheng, one on each side, and made irrelevant comments to each other.

Yang Sheng didn't say anything. He originally wanted to conduct a close and careful reconnaissance on the ground... because it was really unusual for these orcs to appear here.

But at this time, the magic reconnaissance device on the airship received a strange signal.

It seems to be an encrypted magical communication method... Although it cannot be deciphered or correctly answered, it can be detected.

The elementary instrument that Yang Sheng "thought of" can even display the direction of signal flow, which means it can trace the source.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Sheng gave up his plan to conduct ground reconnaissance and instead tracked the source of the magic communication signal.

……

Along the way, the sea was littered with floating shipwrecks and corpses, which seemed to confirm Yang Sheng's ominous premonition.

Some island outposts were still emitting faint green smoke. Zooming in on the sea and ground images, more corpses could be seen, including those of brown-skinned orcs and green-skinned orcs, but more were humans who looked not much different from Yang Sheng and the other two.

Soldiers, civilians, men, women, old people and...

child.

This is a real and cruel world. There is no political correctness like in the movies, and there will be no scenes of children's death.

Emily and Zoey both realized that something was wrong and stopped talking and fell silent.

As they got closer to the source of the magic signal, there were more and more floating objects on the sea, and the scene of the island stronghold was getting closer and closer to being destroyed, from only smoke to embers, and then to still burning. Orcs could be seen chasing civilians everywhere in the stronghold and on the island.

On a picture of the ground that was accidentally enlarged, Yang Sheng and the other two saw an orc soldier with blood-red marks all over his face. It was unclear whether it was the battle marks painted on his face or the splattered blood. What he was chewing in his mouth was actually a child's thigh as if it were a pig bone.

The sight of scarlet flesh and white skin being torn apart by yellow fangs and bleeding deeply shocked the three people.

Emily and Zhuo Yisi covered their mouths and breathed. Living in a basically peaceful and affluent environment, they were rarely exposed to such visual stimulation...Except for some gun battle scenes, but they had no chance to witness such scenes with their own eyes. Even in the Flower Country, TV stations would not broadcast unprocessed bloody scenes.

Yang Sheng was very calm, staring at the screen without moving his eyes away, except that his face looked a little cold.

But Emily could sense the turmoil beneath his calmness, and didn't know how to comfort him, so she touched and held his hand.

At nightfall, a dazzling city on the sea appeared in front of the three people's eyes.

No modern city is as dazzling as it is at this moment, unless Yang Sheng lays down [tree trunk street lights] at a higher density on Guanying Mountain, because it is burning.

The urban area of ​​several kilometers was all burning. Hundreds of sailing warships were parked on the sea, still firing burning barrels and flaming arrows into the city.

The burning barrels might contain this world's magical version of incendiary bombs. The flames in the city were a hundred meters high. Above the white-to-red flames was billowing thick smoke. The fire illuminated an area of ​​at least several kilometers around.

Because of the protection of the magic barrier, the submarine airship can ignore the temperature and smoke generated by the burning and get very close to observe the current situation in the city.

Then they discovered that not the entire city was burning. One kilometer away from the shore, there was a faint light curtain, weakly but firmly blocking the flames outside. Several teams of elite orcs and a large creature were trying to break through the light curtain.

Yang Sheng looked down from a high place, observing the scene behind him through the light curtain, and then compared it with the magic signal detected on the airship. Then he came to his senses... That was not a communication signal asking for help from the outside world, but a teleportation method that had been using teleportation to transfer the survivors.

"Lucas, look, that's... a dragon, right? It seems to be fighting with those orcs, preventing them from attacking the magic light curtain."

"?"

Yang Sheng switched the screen and observed carefully. As Emily said, the large creature was most likely a dragon. And it was not an accomplice of the orcs. Instead, it was fighting a desperate battle with them, trying every means to prevent them from breaking through the light curtain behind them.

As early as the afternoon, Yang Sheng had calculated in his mind that even if he immediately returned to Guanying Mountain or somewhere else and gathered the armed forces to rush over, it would take at least a month, because the Guanying Mountain Navy was scattered all over Stuart Territory to act as a construction team to cooperate with infrastructure construction. Even if they received his instructions to assemble and set off immediately, it would take about half a month to reach Guanying Mountain.

They cannot leave the floating battleship, otherwise they would not be here to rescue people out of justice but to simply deliver food.

We need to grant permission to allow combat personnel to come, and also collect supplies and war materials... By the time he gets all the people together to come and fight, it will take at least a month and a half. By then, the food is already cold, and even if he is angry and smashes the table, it will be of no avail.

Impotent rage and shouting and cursing are not his style, so from then until now, he has always appeared very calm, but that doesn't mean he really has no emotions at all in his heart.

By flipping through the pictures, Yang Sheng has confirmed that the dragon-shaped creature is indeed hostile to the orcs, and the two sides are fighting hard in the fire. It is worthy of being the creature with the ceiling combat power that dominates almost all types of Western fantasy worlds.

Moreover, from the magic reconnaissance footage on the submarine airship, it can be seen that while fighting, the dragon is even maintaining the existence of the magic light curtain that seems to be in danger.

A very clear magical power flowed out from it and gathered in the light curtain.

After watching the battle for a while, I don't know how long the two sides have been fighting, but it looks like the dragon is not in a good condition. Both wings have suffered serious penetrating wounds, but it has used its superb magic skills to make up for the injuries and the inconvenience of movement. Now there is a layer of light film with clear veins on its wings instead of the tattered flesh membrane, and the wounds all over its body, which are like the open mouth of a baby, also contain condensed light.

"Amy, even if I asked you to stay on the spaceship, you wouldn't obey me, right?"
