wandering planet

The situation of Virgil and Greia F is very different. One is that it is covered with sea, and the other is that there are no aggressive creatures.

But Lin Ni was always half skeptical of Song Junxing's words, so when preparing, he still asked Jiang Che and Ovid to bring weapons.

The weapons they picked up from the Graia F are much better than the weapons that come with the lifeboat, and they are all waterproof. Ovid likes the shotgun named "Little Fox". Jiang Che is always a novice and used to it. The laser gun, so I still carry it.Linney can use any gun, so he grabbed the most convenient assault rifle.

Jiang Che put the knife into the knife sheath on the outside of his thigh, and turned around to find that Ovid was packing garlic.

Jiang Che: "What are you doing?"

When sailing, if there is nothing to do at hand, Jiang Che will take a few of them to make chili oil, chili salt, minced garlic, scallion oil, ginger candy and so on with the existing seasonings.Most of the minced garlic on the ship is made by Tang Mo, and they are all neatly packed in a sealed jar.

Ovid had brought a small glass bottle from no one knew where, and was filling the small bottle with minced garlic from a large jar.

"Aren't you going to make steamed scallops with garlic?" He wondered, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Virgil is full of water, where is it made?"

Linney raised his hand: "No, 96% of Virgil is water, and 4% is scattered land. Although it's all sand, lifeboats can't stop on it, but people can walk on it."

As soon as he said it, Lin Ni immediately began to draw the position of the landing point, pointing Pierre to set the position.

"Is this what Cicero told you too?" asked Ovid.

Linney paused: "Yes. He said that there is a place to rest here."

Cicero told Linney that the best place on Virgil for marauders to prey on is a place called the Straits of Fran.

The Fran Strait has a long, half-moon-shaped island that connects to the flooded continental shelf.The naming of this half-moon-shaped island is also based on the principle of being easy to remember and easy to teach. It was roughly and simply designated as Half Moon Island by the Marseille Science Department.

The surrounding products of Half Moon Island are very rich, and the wind and waves are very small, so it is an extremely safe place for predation.

Speaking of this, even Lin Ni himself felt that he couldn't justify it.

When Cicero told him these things, he just thought that his brother knew so much.But thinking about it now, it is absolutely impossible for Cicero, who is driving a ship, to enter Virgil in accordance with the life convention and the principle of Marseilles to protect this natural reservoir.

How did he know that there were places to stay in Fran Strait and Half Moon Island?

"Okay, don't think about it." Jiang Che walked over and said, "Let's get down to business first."

He handed Linney and Ovid the portable communicator he had picked up from the Graia F.

"Virgil is just ahead."

A round and beautiful light blue planet, as if dotted in the dark universe, is extremely bright and conspicuous.

It was the first time for them to meet Virgil face to face, and the cab was suddenly quiet, only the reminder sound from the system kept ringing.

In the silence, Jiang Che suddenly spoke.

"Ovid, put down the scallion oil." He said feebly, "Take out the minced garlic too, don't take it with you."

The lifeboat pierced Virgil's atmosphere and hovered steadily above the Fran Strait.

Everyone gathered around the porthole looking at the ocean below.

This is the first time they have seen such a vast and vast sea.It encompasses everything, including the pale sky and Half Moon Island in the middle of the ocean, Fran's Strait.As the height of the ship decreased, they had the illusion that they were also wrapped in the ocean.

It is so vast that it is terrifying.

The ship was about ten meters away from the sandy surface of Banyue Island. The rope ladder was lowered, and Lin Ni was the first to come out along the rope ladder.

The sea breeze blew the rope ladder, he held the rope ladder with one hand, and touched his head with the other hand.

"There are birds." He raised his hand, "Transparent?"

On his hand was a small sparrow the size of a middle finger, covered in snow white, the tip of its wings was still faintly transparent, only a pair of eyes were emerald green.The pointed yellow claws hooked Lin Ni's index finger, and he opened his mouth to make a thin "cluck".

Lin Ni shook his fingers, and the sparrow flew away quickly.They landed one after another, and when they looked up, they found many such little birds flying around.They showed decent curiosity about this group of uninvited guests. From time to time, one of them would fly over and peck at Jiang Che's ear or Ovid's head.After leaving Faust and entering the Sirius planetary belt, Ovid's hair grew very fast, and the original golden part had grown above the ears. He asked Linney for a leather rope, and put the black hair interspersed with gold behind his head. Tie up a handful.

The white sparrows were very interested in his golden soft hair, and stopped two successively.

Ovid rolled on the sand twice before getting the two unknown little things away.

"Stop playing." Jiang Che checked the equipment on his body, picked up a box and followed Lin Ni into the water.

Ovid: "I'm not playing..."

They didn't dare to go too deep into the ocean. On the one hand, they were worried that there would be other dangerous creatures in the sea, and on the other hand, they didn't want to pollute the seawater too much.

Virgil is full of fresh water. Under the pale sky, the entire ocean presents a very balanced and beautiful light blue. Jiang Che stepped into the water and found that there are many light blue aquatic plants growing on the bottom of the water. They are slender or The curly leaves swayed slowly in the water, and as Jiang Che moved forward, they all shrank in shock.

Lin Ni and Jiang Che moved very quickly. They continued to relay with Pierre and Tang Mo on the lifeboat, and quickly filled more than a dozen boxes of fresh water.

"Can we start fishing?" Tang Mo asked loudly while leaning on the cabin door.

"There are also crabs, snails and shellfish." Pierre added hastily.

Ovid ran over from the other side of Half Moon Island and waved at them: "The survey is over!"

According to the division of labor, Lin Ni and Jiang Che are responsible for filling the water, while Ovid needs to survey the biological resources on Half Moon Island immediately after landing.Banyue Island is not big. He ran around and confirmed that there were not only snails, but also a large number of crabs in the shoal under his feet.

"There are too many!" Ovid took out a crab that he tied tightly with a leather rope from his pocket. "On the other side, there are basically all of them on the beach. I just picked one up."

The crab he took out was about the size of two fists, and it was constantly spitting out small bubbles. Its thick and long-haired pincers were swinging hard under the pressure of the leather rope.

Jiang Che observed the crab carefully, and held it up happily: "Good luck, this is a female crab with crab roe."

There is a green swirl on the back of the crab, like an ancient totem.Linney told them that Cicero had said that this kind of crab only appeared around the Fran Strait. It was called the Flan Blueback Crab.

Jiang Che was also a glutton. He followed Ovid to the other side of Banyue Island and caught seven or eight blueback crabs. Tang Mo asked Tang Mo to throw down the pot and fuel bottle, set up a pot to boil water, and start steaming the crabs.

"Your brother must have eaten this kind of crab, otherwise he wouldn't know so clearly." Ovid said while digging conch on the beach, "Actually, he was also Virgil's predator."

Linney didn't object.

He pretended to dig snails with Ovid, but actually sat on the beach in a daze.

The sea water rises and falls, and the sandy ground is full of small sand clusters and holes, which are made by fingernail-sized crabs drilling in and out.Once these caves are submerged by seawater, the sand clusters are dispersed by the water again and fill the caves.The channel is blocked, but the hero who dug the channel will soon make a new hole in the sand and plan a new pile of sand.

These crab boys are tireless, running around, although they don't do anything substantial, they are always in a hurry.

Shallow water shellfish hide in such sand.

Ovid cut a plastic box of compressed biscuits diagonally to make a crude spatula.Digging the sand with a shovel until you see the dark underlayer of sand soaked by seawater, you will soon find silent seashells in the sand.

The seashells on land are not too big, and they live by absorbing a little seawater deep in the sand.After the high tide, the seawater submerges the sandy land, and they will open their shells, stretch out their slender axes, climb out of the sandy land, and go to the depths of the ocean with the seawater, starting a new journey.

Ovid didn't trust Jiang Che's words at first, thinking that there would be no seashells in the sand, but as he dug more and more, he decided not to doubt anything Jiang Che said.

Jiang Che is so cute, Jiang Che is so good at cooking, what he said is right.

"What are you looking at?" Ovid asked Linney, "Why don't you dig shells? Are you lazy?"

Following Lin Ni's gaze, the lifeboat was moving slowly on the sea, even shaking a little.

A huge fishing net hangs below the lifeboat, and Pierre is driving the lifeboat to pull the net forward, catching fish in the sea.

The fishing net was made by Tang Mo under Jiang Che's guidance. The quality is worrying, but it is barely usable.There were not many glue threads on the lifeboat, and they were originally placed in the ammunition box in the weapon bay. After Jiang Che found out, he began to teach Tang Mo, who had nothing to do, to weave a net.

Ovid stared blankly for a moment, worried: "Can't you turn over?"

There are too many fish and the nets are too crude.The two of them frowned tightly, watching the fishing net gradually tightened, they pulled a net full of fish, and were about to board the lifeboat!

"Pierre!" Linney quickly grabbed his portable communicator, "Don't be too greedy! Throw away some fish!"

Pierre hesitated: "Not much, right? It can fit. Tang Mo and I have figured it out. I will live with you in the future, and Ovid and Jiang Che will live together. There will be two rooms free for these fish. ..."

"Okay!" Ovid said loudly to Linney's communicator, "You have a good idea!"

"Get out!" Linney pushed him away and continued to reason with Pierre, "If you can't drag it up, the fishing net is in the sea, and it's not too heavy because of the buoyancy of sea water, but if you drag it up, the fishing net might crack open, and we'll have no fish. Or worse—throw it away!"

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly saw that the lifeboat was swaying, being pulled down by the heavy fish, and almost tilted.

Pierre didn't dare to say any more, and immediately started throwing fish.

In the next ten minutes, the lifeboat kept shaking from side to side, and the fish in the fishing net fell down with a splash.

"A small amount many times, a small amount many times!" Linney shouted, "Don't be greedy!"

"This fish is purple." Tang Mo's voice came through the communicator, "It's so cute! It has three heads."

"Pay attention to quality, pay attention to quality!" Lin Ni was exhausted, "We can't take anything that is too strange, we don't raise fish, we want to eat fish..."

Ovid dragged two big bags of seashells towards Jiang Che.He smelled a fishy aroma.

The Fulan greenback crab he just took out has been steamed by Jiang Che.

The gas fuel in the fuel bottle was ignited, and the tongue of fire licked the brand new bottom of the pot.The pot was placed on the stone, and when the lid was removed, the hot air billowed out, making the little white birds on Jiang Che's shoulders and head croaking and flying away one after another.

The pot is not too big, it can only hold three crabs at a time.Ovid sniffled his nose and looked around. There were three blue-backed crabs that were completely reddened by steaming in the pot. The blue mosquito-repellent coil pattern on their backs turned an extremely deep red.The water below was still bubbling, and the water vapor rushed towards his face.

"The smell is so strange?" He put down the cloth bag containing seashells, and sat next to Jiang Che, "Is it delicious?"

"It's all washed, of course it's delicious." Jiang Che carefully picked out one and put it on a plate and handed it to him, "Try it."

Ovid was a little sluggish: "How to eat? Just bite?"

Jiang Che was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that in Marseilles, crab is a relatively expensive food.They couldn't survive in the new land, water and air of Marseille. Many crab seedlings died, and almost half of the crab species became extinct.

Families like Linney and Pierre should be able to eat, but Ovid and Tang Mo are hard to say.

"Tang Mo probably hasn't eaten it before." Jiang Che said calmly, "She doesn't know what to do like you..."

"I've eaten it." Tang Mo's voice came from the communicator of the two, "I ate it with money from usury, and I ate it many times. Is the most famous crab on Marseilles the one-armed crab on the Mirha Sea?" Flower crab? The one that costs 5000 Mosaic coins?"

Pierre: "Yes... yes. I also eat it often... so it's so expensive?"

Tang Mo: "I've eaten it a dozen times, it's just that, nothing special."

Ovid: "Tang Mo! Why did you borrow usury!"

Tang Mo replied seriously: "In order to satisfy the appetite."

Ovid wanted to say a few words to scold her, but Jiang Che had already opened the blueback crab's shell.

The fresh and slightly fishy-sweet scent gushes out along with the hot air, and gets into Ovid's nose at once.

This is a particularly fat female crab, the crab roe is so much that it is almost solidified, and it is all piled up in the shell, so full that it is about to burst.

Jiang Che poured a few drops of sweet and sour into the crab shell filled with crab roe.This is what he specially prepared for Virgil's crab two days ago.Slowly boil the white vinegar over low heat, add white sugar to it, and cook until it melts.He noticed that Ovid liked garlic very much, so he added a little more minced garlic and finely ground pepper skin.

Holding the hot crab shell, Ovid looked at the snow-white and tender crab exposed on the plate, took a sip of the sweet and sour in the shell dubiously, and then ate a mouthful of crab roe.

"Fishy..." He took a deep breath, "But...it smells so good!"

Jiang Che nodded and proudly helped him disassemble the rest of the crab body.

The steaming time of the crab roe is very accurate, so that it will not be too soft and raw, nor too hard and too cooked.The fishy smell of the ocean has also turned into an appetite-stimulating aroma, coupled with the special aroma of crab roe itself, Ovid spoke in a hurry, sticking out his tongue to lick in the shell after eating a shell of crab roe.

"And this." Jiang Che poured some sweet and sour into the plate, dipped the disassembled crab meat in sweet and sour, and handed it to Ovid.

The crab meat is white and tender, fat and juicy, smooth and soft, with finely chopped chili skin, minced garlic and light golden sweet and sour hanging on it.Ovid held the crab claw, stared at the crab meat, and couldn't help swallowing.
