The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Marine ecological adjustment device." Leo put down the metal plate in his hand and said to himself.

This metal plate-shaped coder belongs to an instrument called a marine ecological regulation device. The name of this instrument was given to it by the Earth Federation. The real name of the instrument is a series of special sound waves that cannot be pronounced by earth creatures. .

The alien race that manufactured this instrument came from an ocean planet, and this planet is completely composed of water. After the civilization of this planet enters the cosmic civilization sequence, it is inevitable that there will be alien colonization just like the Earth Federation. It's just that there are too few ocean planets suitable for their survival in the universe, so they can only use some special methods to transform non-ocean planets.

For example, using technology to capture a number of comets that are completely composed of water, put them on a planet that is not suitable for living, let the planet have water, and then use technology such as marine ecological adjustment devices to transform the planet to be suitable for them to survive .

Because the planets chosen by this alien race to transform are uninhabited planets, their transformation behavior did not violate the rules specified by the Supreme Council, and the marine ecological adjustment devices they produced were therefore also sold outside.

Although the Earth Federation is not a marine civilization, their demand for water is not low at all. The development of many colonial planets has been put on hold due to water problems, so when this marine ecological adjustment device was sold, they first It was time to order in large quantities, and I didn't even think about whether this thing is suitable for the colonization planet of the Earth Federation.

A planet where Leo once stationed was such a water-deficient colonial planet. This colonial planet was not literally short of water, but because the water resources here were not suitable for normal people to use. That's why I thought of using a marine ecological adjustment device.

As for whether the device worked in the end, Leo didn't know, because before he bought the device and installed it, his team had already set off to other troubled planets.

After determining the device corresponding to the metal plate, Leo naturally thought of the ocean in the Vinylon world. If there is no mistake in the painting, the ocean in the Vinylon world should use the marine ecological adjustment device corresponding to this metal plate.

Thinking of this, Leo picked up the metal plate on the table and prepared to store it in the storage space for temporary storage.

However, before he could move, the hull was shaken by a wave.

Logically speaking, such a swaying hull would not have any adverse effects on Leo at all, but what is strange is that under such a swaying hull, Leo didn't even stand still, and the whole person fell forward, with his head facing the corner of the table Smashed it.

In this situation, Leo instinctively stretched out his hand to hold the corner of the table to stabilize his body, but at the same time, when he stretched out his hand, he threw the metal plate in his hand, and when he recovered, the metal plate It had already flown out of the small window of the cabin and fell into the sea.

And when he opened his mental net, and was about to find the metal plate, and use spiritual power to get it back, a big fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swallowed the metal plate in one gulp, and then When Leo was still in a daze, he dived quickly, swam out of the coverage of Leo's spiritual net, and disappeared into the depths of the ocean.

All this happened too suddenly, too abruptly, and the whole process was completely unexpected. What's more, Leo found that his thinking and reactions had become inexplicably wrong, as if he had become an ordinary person. .

After calming down, Leo carefully checked the situation on his body, and found nothing abnormal on his body, but he was even more astonished because it could affect his body and thinking silently, It also made him unable to detect any abnormalities. This kind of power is even more frightening.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but want to take out the unknown biological fossil from the storage space, and study carefully what kind of power it contains. But in the end, he resisted the impulse in his heart and did not touch the fossil of the unknown creature.

Because he knows very well that no matter how much he studies, he may not be able to research useful things. Obviously, the power contained in this unknown fossil is beyond the scope of his research ability. Instead of taking it out and accidentally touching the power in it , to cause some trouble for myself, it is better to let it stay in the storage space, and take it out for research when you have the ability.

Although the metal plate was lost, Leo did not let down his vigilance. He had already felt how powerful the unknown power that changed luck was, but he didn't know whether a metal plate was equivalent to changing luck. He paid, so in the next two days, he kept vigilant in case of any accident.

As a result, no accident happened again until the ship docked at Emerald Island, the westernmost and northernmost island of the Pearl Island chain, and the discomfort on his body disappeared. At this time, he was sure that he had returned to normal.

After the ship docked at the pier, none of the passengers on board disembarked, and the captain gathered them in the hall. At this time, the sheriff of the island was also in the hall, and asked some questions as a matter of routine. Although it was clear that Kunstein died in an accident, But after all, one person died, and there were some money disputes with other people before the death, so it is necessary to ask some questions.

However, the magistrate here is also very clear that someone who can afford to build a special sailboat like the Snow Queen must be rich or expensive, and it is far from being offended by a local magistrate like him, so ask The problem is also careful, try to avoid touching the privacy of passengers.

The inquiry soon ended, and the sheriff also lifted the ban on the ship, but when he ordered Kunstein's body to be carried down, he couldn't help but linger on the finances left by Kunstein for a while, obviously It is to give birth to some small thoughts.

Leo had no interest in knowing what the sheriff of the island would do with Kunstein's body. What he was more interested in was how Kunstein got the bone fossil of this unknown creature. Or find any useful clues in the stone box containing the bones, so we can only see if there are any relevant clues on Kunstein.

"Do you want the diary and ledger of the deceased?" Leo followed the island's sheriff to the island's police station, and then asked the sheriff directly, and the sheriff was extremely surprised.

Leo just discovered that there are basic diaries and ledgers in Kunstein's relics. Although he is not sure whether these things contain useful content for him, this is still a source of clues that cannot be given up.

"How much do I need to pay?" Leo asked directly.

"Twenty gold shields." The magistrate was not polite, and directly offered the highest price in his mind.

Leo didn't say anything, and directly took out twenty gold shields in cash and put them on the table.

The magistrate knew that his asking price was a little low, but even though he was annoyed, he didn't regret it. He put the twenty gold shields in his pocket, and then walked into the office. After a while, he saw him come back with a bag, It was handed to Leo.

Leo's mental net was always spreading around, and the sheriff's every move was under his surveillance. He knew very well that the other party was not playing tricks, so he turned and left without checking the number of ledgers and diaries in the bag.

After returning to the boat, Leo took out the diary and ledger from the bag, quickly looked through it, and quickly found the desired information from the ledger.

Kunstein is a very careful person. He never recorded any important information in his diary. Even if there was, he would record it in some special secret language that only he understood. Therefore, Leo did not find anything useful from his diary. In his portable ledger, Leo discovered a transaction record about the bone of an unknown creature.

In this transaction record, only the stone box was mentioned, and no bone was mentioned. Obviously, before Kunstein got the box, the box was sealed, and the seller did not know that the box contained a bone fossil of an unknown creature, so in Only the price of the stone box is recorded in the ledger, while the ledger recorded from this batch of goods records the place where the goods were purchased at Bhagali Bazaar.

"Bojiali Bazaar?" Although he got a piece of information, it is the same as if he didn't get it. Leo didn't know where the Bojiali Bazaar was. He could only tell from the items he bought that it should be in the northern powerhouse of the Minsk continent. Saville, because the coin paid here is called Jinsa.

After nightfall, the captain sent someone to tell Leo that the ship would sail at night, and he needed to buy something, and he had to do it now.

For the captain's decision, Leo felt a little puzzled, because very few ships sailed at night, this kind of behavior was obviously too abnormal.

However, before Leo raised questions, the other passengers had already preempted the captain's decision, but the captain's explanation was that leaving as soon as possible would not delay the itinerary. If they stayed here as originally planned, it might delay more than ten days. journey.

Of course, everyone was dissatisfied with the captain's explanation, but it was difficult to say anything, because after all, the captain's experience in sailing at sea was countless times more than theirs, and all they could do was follow the captain's orders. Fortunately, the Snow Queen His reputation is very good, otherwise, they will all think that the captain is plotting something wrong.

When the crowd dispersed and the old captain started to sail the ship, Leo thought about the explanation given by the old captain carefully, then walked to the deck and directly activated the Seagod mark on his body.

After standing there for a while, Leo removed the power of the Sea God's mark, turned his head and looked at the old captain over there with deep meaning.

He already knew why the old captain said that continuing to rest here for one day as originally planned would delay the trip for more than ten days, because when he activated the power in the Sea God's mark, he already felt a huge storm slowly forming in the nearby sea area. If the storm takes shape, the island will inevitably be involved, and will be trapped on the island at that time, delaying the trip.

Obviously, the old captain knew of the storm that was forming through some means, so he decided to leave early, drive the ship out of this sea area, and avoid the storm.

Naturally, Leo would not object to this. He originally hoped to reach the Minsk mainland as soon as possible, and the old captain's decision was just in line with his wishes.

In this way, amidst the complaints of many passengers, the Ice Queen slowly left the port and sailed into the depths of the ocean under the moonlight.

As predicted in advance, after the Ice Queen sailed for about six or seven hours, the originally calm sea began to fluctuate violently, and a strong wind began to hang around, shaking the ship. The old captain had to withdraw several mainsails and reduce the speed to stabilize the hull.

When the sea surface was turbulent, Leo had already activated the Sea God's Mark and sensed the formation process of the storm. Although the old captain's sailing decision was very correct and the speed was very fast, they still failed to make it through the formation of the storm. When the time comes, get out of the storm's coverage area.

However, fortunately, the position of the ship is now on the edge of this huge storm, even if there are some wind and waves, they will not be too big.

However, neither the crew nor the old captain knew that they were on the edge of the storm, so they quickly fixed various movable items on the ship according to normal procedures, and then lowered all the sails to half. The look of being ready.

At this time, the old captain also changed into a waterproof captain's uniform, came to the rudder at the stern, and took the rudder from the first officer. At this time, he saw Leo standing on the deck not far from the stern, and immediately shouted : "Mr. Leo, please go back to the cabin, it's dangerous here."

"Thank you for your curiosity, it's okay!" Leo shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to see the storm in the sea here, please do it according to your own method, and ignore me."

The old captain didn't say much when he saw Leo say that. From the previous gambling table, he could see that Leo was not an ordinary person, so he wasn't worried that Leo would be in any danger.

At this time, the old captain took out a ball-shaped pendant from under his neck, then turned the pendant quickly, and the pendant turned into a key, and then he saw that he inserted the key into the key in the center of the rudder In the hole, twisted half a circle.

Leo's spiritual network immediately sensed the Ice Queen under his feet. At the moment the key was turned on, many Turing radicals that were in a closed state were activated. Although the appearance of the entire ship did not change, the inside had changed. turned into another ship.

What caught Leo's attention the most was that the Turing radicals began to reorganize and deform at the moment they were activated, and then reconnected to form a three-dimensional radical that Leo could not understand the meaning at all.

To be honest, when Leo saw that the three-dimensional root began to take shape, he was stunned, because this change was completely beyond his expectation, and it also made him realize that his previous understanding of this ship was still very limited. It's just scratching the surface, the power of the Ice Queen probably far exceeded his expectations.
