Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 230 Deep Sea Electric Eel
The surrounding sea water was cold and dark, and only the sound of bubbles echoed in my ears.

This is the depths of the ocean, which is nearly 400 meters away from the sea surface. The sunlight can no longer penetrate the sea surface. Now looking up, you can only see darkness.

The only light source is the ghost-like Hanyuzao, emitting a faint light that can only be seen in the morgue.

Countless cold jade algae grow densely, like a white forest, and each cold jade algae is like a big tree that cannot see the bottom. The faint light they emit is the only thing that can be seen here.

Speaking of which, the cold jade algae in front of him is already the fifth special mutant algae he has encountered. The first few are fluorescent algae, gel algae, macrophage green algae, and biochemical purple algae.

They are also algae. Chen Xuan couldn't help but compare these types of seaweed. Among these seaweeds, macrophage green algae and biochemical purple algae belong to planktonic algae, which have no roots and generally float in the water.

The gelatinous algae are relatively low algal plants, like bushes growing underwater.

The jade algae and fluorescent algae are the most similar. Both of them are like a big tree with unknown depth, and usually these seaweeds are in groups, like a forest growing on the seabed.

Hanyu algae also emit light, but it is only a very faint cold light, so faint that it is almost impossible to detect if you are not close, unlike the blue light emitted by fluorescent seaweed that illuminates the entire sea area.

Moreover, the fluorescent seaweed has a lush green appearance and soft leaves, which look like a feather duster from a distance, while the cold light algae is more like a strange and indescribable tentacle monster.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was above Han Yuzao.

He stared down along the thick rhizome of Hanyuzao, his eyes seemed to penetrate layers of darkness.

However, the white Hanyuzao could not see the end, its body gradually disappeared in the darkness.

Chen Xuan knew that there should be something further down.

Since the fluorescent seaweed we have seen in the past has yellow seaweed seeds, it is very likely that this cold jade algae will bear similar things.

Seaweed seeds can extract oil, so will the seeds of Hanyu algae also have any special functions.

For Chen Xuan, who loves farming, he naturally didn't want to miss any chance to get seeds.

Although he is currently in the depths of the ocean three to four hundred meters from the sea surface.

The water pressure at this depth would have been overwhelming for ordinary people, but Chen Xuan was not affected at all.

There was no discomfort in his chest either. Although he hadn't tested it yet, his lung capacity was enough to support him underwater activities for four to five hours without any problem.

Now that everyone has come here, it seems that there is no problem in looking deeper.

Chen Xuan twisted his body, and continued to dive along the white rhizome.

The pale white Hanyuzao that was close at hand still made him feel panicked, and the tentacled algae leaves swaying with the current made him always feel as if he would be entangled by it in the next second.

And the further down, in addition to the increasing pressure of the sea water, Chen Xuan also felt the temperature of the sea water is also dropping rapidly.

Even though he was wearing a bearskin suit at the moment, he still felt a icy breath penetrating into his body.

It was as if an iceberg was slowly pressing down on him.

With this feeling, Chen Xuan moved deeper into the ocean.

I don't know how deep I have swam now, but Han Yuzao still can't see the end.

After some time, he finally made a discovery.

There seems to be some objects on the rhizome of the white cold jade algae below, and it is emitting red light.

The red glow is so prominent on the white rhizomes.

Could this be the seed of Hanyu algae?
Chen Xuan was about to continue diving to find out.

at this time.

"crack" "crack"

He heard a strange noise.

It seems to have heard it somewhere.

Chen Xuan searched for the source of the sound, and saw a twilight light moving slowly in the depths of the sea.

This... is this an arc?
A ball of electric arcs running around in the sea water?

and many more?

Chen Xuan looked carefully.

That looks like an electric eel!
Due to the distance, he couldn't judge the specific size of the electric eel, but what is certain is that the size of the electric eel will not be small.

And the current it emits may not be small.

Needless to say, an electric eel that can survive in such an extremely cold sea is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Chen Xuan suddenly became afraid to move, he was afraid that his actions would attract the attention of the electric eel.

He wasn't sure if he could withstand the lightning strike of the electric eel.

Then, he scanned the vicinity again, and found that there were three or four such arcs.

Although it seems that the speed of these electric eels is not fast, but their current speed is not much better.

Chen Xuan remained motionless, watching the electric eel closely with his eyes. After a while, he found that the electric eel didn't seem to notice him.

It should be because the distance is too far. Now I am still about a hundred or two hundred away from the electric eel. As long as I don't continue down, I should not attract the attention of the electric eel.

But this also means that I can no longer continue to look down to see what those red things are.

Chen Xuan was a little reconciled, but he didn't plan to go any further.

Although he was indeed taking risks before, he came to this unknown place in order to understand Han Yuzao.

But this does not mean that he knows the danger ahead and insists on jumping into the pit.

This is not the spirit of adventure, this is death, and mental retardation.

Anyway, Hanyuzao should be all over this sea of ​​ice, and he could have a chance to touch it again at any time.

While looking at the direction of the electric eel, Chen Xuan floated up slowly with extremely slow and slight movements.

It wasn't until the electric arc in his sight finally disappeared that he turned around and dived upwards with all his strength, until he returned to the top of Hanyuzao.

Only then did Chen Xuan let go of his tense nerves.

Staring at the darkness below, his mind turned.

I don't know if these electric eels are only found in this sea area.

For those red luminous bodies, he will not give up.

But the electric eel threat is a real problem.

Perhaps, he's going to start trying to figure out how to get an insulated outfit.

However, he seems to have forgotten something?
Oh, right.

Baobao is still waiting for dinner on it!

Obviously at the beginning, he wanted to find a way to catch fish, but he was delayed for an hour or two because of curiosity. Even if the materials were collected, it would take a lot of time to weave the fishing net later.

It seems that Leopard Baby will inevitably have a hungry meal today.

Chen Xuan quickly started to cut the cold jade algae.

Just like collecting fluorescent algae before, he first found a rhizome of about the same length, then grasped the snake-toothed gun tightly, and chopped towards the rhizome that was in sight of Hanyu algae.

Chen Xuan's movements were still very slow, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, but he didn't expect to cut off Han Yuzao with the Snake Tooth Spear.

He intends to break these cold jade algae with the corrosive slime contained in the gun.

The process was easier than he imagined. Originally, Chen Xuan thought the seaweed was difficult to handle.

It's just that since the cold jade algae is the source of the frost energy release, it's probably extremely cold itself.

Can this thing really reach out and touch?
Chen Xuan was a little apprehensive.

If you can't reach out and touch it, your best bet is to pierce it with a Snaketooth gun.

Seeing that the rhizome was about to break completely, he found the right opportunity, thrust his snake-tooth gun into it, and lifted up the entire broken seaweed.

After detaching from the main trunk, the algae leaves dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't feel so cold anymore.

But Chen Xuan still didn't dare to be careless, he put the snake tooth gun on his waist, and then swam towards the sea as quickly as possible.

A glimmer of sunlight gradually penetrated the dark sea.

Back on the "Kunpeng", Chen Xuan first visited Bao Bao in the cab.

As soon as he entered the cab, a white glutinous rice dumpling arched over.

Poor Leopard Bao kept calling and rubbing his stomach, obviously starving.

This little guy has learned to express hunger in this way.

When Baobao saw Chen Xuan carrying a long white thing back, he immediately raised his neck, leaned towards it curiously, then twitched his nose twice, smelling the algae leaves.

Then, it lay back down again, and resumed its lazy posture.

Leopard Bao should have found out that it can't be eaten.

"Baby Bao, be patient a little longer."

After rubbing Baobao's soft belly, Chen Xuan stepped back into the cabin.

He started to deal with Han Yuzao.

The rhizomes of Hanyuzao are as thick as a big tree, and their algae leaves are naturally not too thin, almost reaching his arm.

This thickness is not suitable for weaving fishing nets, so Chen Xuan can only segment them first.

This has to be touched by hand.

Although after leaving the main body, Han Yuzao no longer releases the same terrifying chill as before, but whether he is cutting algae leaves or weaving fishing nets, these processes cannot be done with gloves and must be operated with bare hands.

Taking off his shirt, Chen Xuan stretched out his hand cautiously and reached for the seaweed.

Before touching it, he already felt a chill.

But when he touched the seaweed, he only felt tough and cold.

Weird.

It's like touching a group of elastic ice cubes.

Although it was cold, it was still acceptable.

Chen Xuan quickly started to do it.

First divide the algae leaves of Hanyu algae evenly to the same thickness as ordinary ropes.

He originally thought that the rope cuts made by his rough skills would not be very beautiful, but the amazing thing was that every time he divided the leaves of Hanyu algae, the remaining algae leaves would actually retract into a round shape on their own. columnar.

No matter how he cuts it, the shape of the algae leaves is always round, as if there is a memory.

But it also made it easier for him to weave fishing nets with these ropes.

With Chen Xuan's accumulated experience, this is already considered an easy task, and for some reason, he feels that when the manual master module is advanced, his own manual ability has also been improved to a certain extent.

But after operating for a while, Chen Xuan paused and rubbed his hands.

Fuck, it's so cold, my hands are almost numb.

Slowing down a little, he continued knitting.

After two hours, a 50-square-meter, strong and durable fishing net has been made by him.

This speed, even the most experienced production master, I am afraid that it is not as good as it is.

And different from the silver-gray fishing nets he made before, the fishing nets woven with the algae leaves of the cold jade algae are white and translucent.

It feels like silk pulled out by cream, and it looks like a pure white rubber band.

Then, there is optimization.

A yellow light rose before his eyes.

There was only a yellow light?

Chen Xuan originally thought that the items made with Hanyuzao, a product of ultra-ancient technology, might have an orange-level brilliance.

Facts have proved that he thought too much. If this is the case, there are still countless cold jade algae waiting for him to collect them, and the orange items will be too flooded by then.

While waiting, Chen Xuan went back and forth to the sea several times, continuing to harvest more cold jade algae.

After one hour passed and the optimization of the fishing net was completed, he collected a total of nearly 100 meters of Hanyuzao.

This amount should be enough.

Chen Xuan threw the collected cold jade algae into the cabin and began to check the properties of the fishing net.

"The first optimization of the cold jade net is completed, and the effect of freezing is added! (The frost energy left by the cold jade algae makes the cold jade net slow down the action of creatures trapped in the net. It is ineffective against frost creatures, but it will attract them.)"

The effect is very good.

It's rare that his dark face attribute didn't show up.

Taking the fishing net, Chen Xuan returned to the cab, and excitedly said to Bao Bao lying on the ground.

"Baby Bao, you're about to have some fish to eat, so let me show you what it means to be a good fisherman."

Before Bao Bao could react, he came out of the cab holding Bao Bao again and stood on the deck.

Now that the Hanyu Net has been compiled, he wants to try its power with his own hands to see what is so special about it.

Fishing does not require too delicate operation, so Chen Xuan is fully armed again.

living comfortably without anybody's help.

Sometimes, fishing by yourself is also a kind of fun.

Chen Xuan threw the fishing net forcefully.

The originally coiled fishing net quickly expanded in the air, covering a large area of ​​the sea.

But the cold jade net came into contact with the water, but it was not affected at all, just like it was in ordinary water.

Stable.

Seeing that the fishing net sank and covered a piece of fish and shrimp, Chen Xuan grabbed it with his big hand and pulled the fishing net back.

Yet it was empty.

Seeing Baobao blinking suspiciously, Chen Xuan coughed twice.

"I haven't fished for a long time, I was just warming up, and I'll show you my fishing net by the way, well, I'm going to be serious next time."

Another 15 minutes passed.

Chen Xuan still didn't catch a single fish.

Then, half an hour passed.

Leopard Bao lay on the deck, looking eagerly at the swarming fish and shrimp below.

And Chen Xuan felt a little hot now.

"Forget it, the wind is too strong today, which affects my hand feeling."

Bao Bao opened his small mouth, yawned, and then looked towards the sea. If it wasn't for the fish and shrimp swimming by, it would have been almost calm without any ripples.

Forget it, it really depends on the "fishing module".

With a thought, the fishing net disappeared from Chen Xuan's hand.

Then, white fishing nets spread out from the bottom of the boat and sprinkled onto the surrounding sea.

When the fishing net was retracted, there were already countless jumping fish and shrimp in the cabin.

One shot into the soul.

Sure enough, things that can be solved by the system should not be done by yourself.

In this way, Leopard Bao's rations were finally settled.
