The strongest sea king of pirates

Chapter 30 Splash
On the west side of the island, there is a small village. The village is relatively remote. There is a house near the mountain forest.

The walls of the house are white, with yellow double wooden doors, wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and a table with several chairs beside the table.

Behind the house, there is a large orange orchard. At this time, the oranges are covered with white flowers, which look extremely beautiful against the narrow and long leaves.

The room is facing the room of the orange grove. The window is open. Behind the window is a square table. In a corner of the square table, there are several thick books. The titles of these books are written on the book covers: "Encyclopedia of the Ocean" " Ocean Waves and Currents", "Encyclopedia of Marine Biology", "Atlas of Tropical Climate Cyclone in the East China Sea", "Drawing", "Meteorological Observation"

These books cover oceans, biology, ocean currents, climate, mapping, and meteorology. There are both popular science books and professional books.

Most of the books are a bit old,
And the owner of these books is just an eight or nine-year-old girl.

At this time, she was sitting at the desk, drawing something with a pen and a ruler on a large drawing.

"finished."

The little girl put the pen aside and looked at the nautical chart on the paper, which showed two islands and a large area of ​​ocean. In addition to the marked longitude and latitude, there were contour lines on the island, and isobath lines in the ocean area. There are routes and bottom marks, and the water depth of the island's port has everything you expect.

"Nami, are you drawing a nautical chart again?"

Behind Nami, stood a girl with blue hair, staring at the chart on the table.

"Noqigao?"

Nami was taken aback by the sudden sound. She looked at the other party and said with a smile, "Well, I just drew a nautical chart."

"It's amazing."

Nuo Qigao looked at the chart, "I can't even understand the nautical chart, let alone draw it."

"It's just copied from the chart on the drawing."

Nami looked at the chart and said with a smile: "After all, to draw a nautical chart of an area requires a lot of data. In addition to azimuth, latitude and longitude, there are also changes in currents and tides, which are used to draw routes and anchorages. Ocean Depth, identifying the seabed topography, and marking the seabed sediments. In addition, the nature of the coast, the water depth and characteristics of the port, navigation signs, such as what is on the island can distinguish the characteristics of the island, and navigation equipment, such as the location of the lighthouse. These all need Field measurements. So I just got the basics of charting."

"It's really troublesome." Nuo Qigao rubbed her hair, looked at Nami and asked, "Field measurement? Then you need to go to sea?

Nami nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, drawing a new sea chart requires on-the-spot measurement, otherwise, the error and the actual deviation will be too large. For example, the sea island where we live, the sea map has too many mistakes, at least I found it Three places."

"Hey?"

Nuo Qigao held her chin, looked at Nami and asked, "So you plan to leave Cocoyasi Village in the future?"

"My dream is to travel all over the world and draw a map of the whole world." Nami said seriously.

"Traveling all over the world?" Nuo Qigao's eyes widened, "Do you want to go to a very dangerous place?"

"of course."

Nami nodded heavily, and said again: "However, I don't have enough knowledge. Next, I plan to learn about water level observation and navigation. After learning about water level observation, I can draw a chart around our small island first."

"Oh."

When Nuo Qigao heard this, he was not very interested, and then asked: "Nami, do you want to go out to play?"

"No, I still have to read."

Nami picked up a book, spread it out in front of her, and read it carefully.

"It's so boring."

Nuo Qigao stretched and climbed onto the small bed next to her.

. . .

In the bay to the south of the island, Xia Qiu was looking for prey in the sea.

It has been nearly two and a half months since I came to this sea area, and it is now May.

After more than two months of growth, Xia Qiu grew from 18 meters to 21 meters, and weighed nearly [-] tons.

In more than two months, it has grown by three meters and weighed twenty tons. Compared with the previous growth rate, it has slowed down a lot.

For this slowdown, Xia Qiu made two guesses.

The first guess is that I have entered the next stage of growth, and the growth rate has slowed down.

For example, it takes a blue whale only eight months to grow from seven meters at birth to 15 meters, but it takes two years to grow from 15 meters to more than 20 meters, at least two and a half to three years old.

To reach adulthood, the body length is more than 25 meters, and it takes about eight to ten years old.

I may have passed the juvenile stage and entered the sub-adult stage, so the growth rate has slowed down.

But my own growth is not the same as the creatures in the world of One Piece, and there should be no growth cycle restrictions.

The second guess is the change of its own strength.

Leaving Nar Village by himself, he ate a naval captain and [-] pirates, the number and intensity of which were several times that of before.

This time the strengthening range is huge.

You must know that before leaving Nar Village, you have not yet digested Colonel Lido, you can rely on your 18-meter body to resist the power of a 30-meter huge sea fish.

After eating Colonel Lido and the pirates, his body increased again and became stronger, far surpassing fish of the same size.

The stronger your body is, the more energy you will consume.

For example, a pound of muscle consumes 6 calories at rest, while fat only consumes 2 calories.

After I become stronger, I consume a lot of energy every moment.

Originally, the energy I was involved in far exceeded my own consumption. After making up for the consumption, a large amount of energy was supplied to my own growth and evolution.

But now, the energy consumption is too large, and the evolutionary energy I get from the sea fish body is more used for consumption.

The remaining evolutionary energy greatly slows down one's own growth rate.

Of these two guesses, Xia Qiu tends to be the second.

This is more beneficial to yourself.

What I want is not to blindly become bigger, that will only become a target.

Even the island eater, who could devour islands, was defeated by Dongli and Broki with a single move.

And the huge Neptune in the windless belt is just the lieutenant general's appetizer.

What I want is great power.

Xia Qiu thought, while swimming far away, she released ultrasonic waves and used echolocation to locate other marine life.

sonar system.

After eating dolphins, he successfully evolved a sonar system, including a sounder, receiver, and analyzer.

But at that time, it was relatively weak, and the range and sensitivity of the sonar were not as good as my own perception.

Later, Xia Qiu encountered two groups of dolphins. After eating them, the current sonar system can be used.

Within 300 meters, you can tell the distance, size and shape of the fish.

At the same time, Xiaqiu can also actively receive high-frequency waves to discover different creatures in the water.

Although it is still not as good as a dolphin, it is already a very precious ability.

Not only that, Xia Qiu felt that he had a dolphin's way of resting, resting his left and right brain alternately, and his ability is still relatively weak now, but if he evolves, he probably doesn't need to take a special rest.

Xia Qiu thought, planning to continue hunting dolphins.

there.

In the northwest direction, it is 200 to 230 meters away from itself, and its body length is about seven meters.

Xia Qiu suddenly caught a signal and quickly swam towards the distance.
