Split Sky Rider

Chapter 895 - Value Area

The abnormal area in the north of the desert peninsula is connected to the alkaline freshwater ocean of Mercury. It is almost bottomless and there is no light around. Only a small amount of self-luminous plankton can be seen occasionally.

The sovereignty of the desert peninsula, which has always lacked fresh water, does not care about alkalinity or not, as long as it is fresh water, so water is pumped from the abnormal area and continuously transported to the depths of the desert, and in a very short time, a large inland lake was created.

However, the lake water is still weakly alkaline, and the desert itself is also alkaline, so there is no need to worry about some strange chemical reactions.

But when the water flowed out in large quantities, it brought out some strange things.

It was originally thought that Mercury was in the original ocean period of life, but a series of huge "balloons" suddenly floated up from the deep sea, overturning the previous speculation.

To be precise, that string of "balloons" should be a group of about six marine plant air sacs, with a maximum diameter of about 30 meters and a minimum diameter of ten meters. The thickness of the sac wall is about 5-20 centimeters, transparent and extremely tough. Even though it has turned pale yellow withering, its strength has not decreased much, and it can even withstand close-range continuous shooting from light gunpowder weapons.

The air in the air sac contains oxygen, which can be breathed by carbon-based organisms, and the whole plant seems to have the ability to absorb gas from water and react with carbon dioxide to decarbonize.

The six air sacs are connected into a string by thick and long hollow stems, just like grapes. The largest inner diameter of the resilient stems is four meters, and the smallest is half a meter. There are friction marks left on the inner wall after biological activities, which means that this alkaline deep-sea air sac plant does not grow independently, but is a deep-sea plant with associated or symbiotic properties.

The reason why this withered part of the stump floated up is that the seeds that had been nurtured for more than a hundred years finally matured. After rising to the sea level, the seeds, which were as hard as steel, became crispy under the catalysis of light sources, and a green bud naturally emerged. It can adapt not only to fresh water but also to salt water. Therefore, it can be judged that there is a high-salinity saltwater layer inside the ocean of Aquamarine. This water layer with significantly different salt concentrations also exists in the ocean of Blue Star, and it is not uncommon.

The young shoots that were accelerated grew very fast. In less than three days, they grew to more than ten meters long. The diameter of the main stem exceeded one foot, and they began to branch continuously. Small blister-like bumps appeared on the vine-like stems, which would become air sacs of different sizes in the future.

After scientists decoded some gene fragments, they found that the growth of this alkaline deep-sea plant is 8,000 hours per cycle. The growth rate is extremely fast in the first cycle, and it starts to halve in the second cycle, and then halve again in the third cycle. It is not until the fifth cycle that it enters a stable period of slowly increasing its own strength. It also maintains a strong branching ability, and it is easy to grow a large group of air sacs, with a number of no less than 100. The diameter of the air sac is not necessarily the limit of 30 meters. The life cycle of the whole plant is about 1,000 years. It will mature every hundred years, and it will automatically disconnect a small number of air sacs with mature seeds, allowing them to slowly float up, germinate with the help of stellar light sources, and then sink into the deep sea again, reproducing over and over again.

From a certain perspective, this plant can almost become a natural marine habitat. If used properly, even humans can live in it. It’s just that it’s unknown how big it will eventually grow. It may grow into an underwater city, so it was named Longgong Algae.

Although a valuable alkaline marine plant larva of Dragon Palace Algae was harvested, it is only one of the many undiscovered specialty resources of Aquamarine. Moreover, the abnormal area representing a corner of Aquamarine is difficult to explore in depth. There is no top and no bottom. Just trying to confirm the depth has reached more than 50,000 meters, but there is still no sign of bottoming out.

This is still without approaching the water surface. After all, the abnormal area only intercepts part of the depth of Aquamarine, not the complete sea area.

Compared with the abnormal area of ​​Giant Ao Star in the sovereignty of Persia, where Chen Fei took the opportunity to forcibly seize the right of entry and exit, there is no S-level supernatural skill "isolation" blockade, and the abnormal area of ​​Ordovician Star in the Galilee Peninsula of the northern continent of America and the abnormal area of ​​Aquamarine Star in the northern part of the Desert Peninsula are illegally invaded by adventurers from all walks of life. It is like entering a no-man's land. The local sovereignty is completely out of control. To be precise, it should be impossible to stop it. Even if the sovereign army arrives and is stationed, it is still insufficient.

The performance of the garrison was not much better than that of the Persian sovereign army. They also wanted to make a lot of money. Unfortunately, there was no window reserved for "isolation". They could only cheat some uninformed people for a few cents, and the big money was completely unscented.

Especially in the abnormal area of ​​​​Aqua, there is a natural entry threshold. If there is no professional diving equipment, you can only rely on water system ability and diving skills.

The all-round alkaline fresh water alone is enough to stop most adventurers, so the exploration value of Aqua is the lowest.

However, for now, the most valuable of the three abnormal areas is the abnormal area of ​​​​Jia Ao Star within the sovereignty of Persia. Unfortunately, Chen Fei is very strong. Not to mention that he is not willing to change his mind, who dares to provoke him? The main gun of the flying ship will serve directly. The diameter of the shells fired at several times the speed of sound is even thicker than the waist circumference of a person. Ordinary A-level and status superpowers will be hit on the spot if they are prepared. It is enough not to die. If they are not prepared, even the heavenly position can't stand it.

What’s more, there is an S-level space-based psychic who can help lock him. He can’t even escape.

After using external forces, Chen Fei’s combat power cannot be underestimated.

While scratching the various crystals in the warehouse, Chen Fei heard Sanhao Xuesen muttering to himself.

It has been three days, and the monk still hasn’t been able to get out of the depressed and negative emotions of stepping on the "mine". From morning to night, the whole person looks lost. Even three teapots have been broken. There are not twenty, but eighteen exquisite small tea cups that have been killed. If the charcoal fire is not strong, even the monk’s robes may be burned, and he will really burn himself.

But most of the time, the monk always forgets to light the charcoal fire, and instead uses cold water to make tea. He drinks it tastelessly without noticing it.

The S-level psychic Heseman Brown, who was called back temporarily, could not bear the nagging in his ears, scratched his head and complained: "What is this monk mumbling all day long? It's endless!"

The head is only a scar as big as a bowl. Even if the monk offended a big man, he would die. He should be more conscious and shoot his bald head or cut his belly. It's better to be done with it. There is no need to be so entangled. It's more of a self-scare.

If he really wants to kill and silence people, even Heseman Brown can't stop him. There are more than one S-level psychics in the world, and almost all of them obey the will of their own sovereignty. Maybe there will be someone who is particularly good at assassination. The A-level dark ability of Sanhao monk is far from enough.

"Time is the best medicine for healing. It will be fine in a few days."

Chen Fei heard Mr. Brown's complaints, but he didn't want to comfort the monk at all.

First, even with the assistance of AI "Adam", he is still very busy every day. He needs to collect data on the special resources of Giant Ao Star, keep an eye on the automated analysis of independent laboratories, establish or adjust the mission projects and progress of the Emerald Star Base at any time, occasionally ask the young engineers of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group about the completion of the crystal jet project, and make structural and functional adjustments to the giant flying ship from time to time.

Second, the monk is an adult himself, and he has seen the wind and rain. He should know how to adjust himself. Even if he really has concerns in this regard, it is not a big deal to shrink here and hatch chicks. He should find a safe place to hide until he is in the crowd and completely avoids the limelight.

Third, if you don't want to be implicated by the monk, don't act like a saint and get into trouble for no reason.

The monk pricked up his ears at some point and overheard the conversation between Chen Fei and the S-class psychic Heseman Brown. He immediately protested in anger: "You said it so easily. If you were at the scene at that time, do you think you can get away with it now?"

He himself is a professional in doing dirty work, so of course he knows very well how horrible it is. He is thankful to get a quick death, but he is afraid of living a life worse than death.

"Hehehehehehehe..." ×2

The other two smiled at each other and laughed gloatingly.

Ka...
