Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 169 A Preliminary Exploration of the Sea of ​​Miasma
Only by solving the problem of miasma can people be saved.

But regarding the miasma and fog, Chen Xuan believed that the research institute and the military headquarters must have exhausted their efforts to find a solution during this time.

And according to the files, this miasma and mist formed suddenly, so what's going on?
No matter what, Xu Qing is very likely to be trapped inside, and there is no room for delay.

After thinking about it, Chen Xuan didn't have a clue for the time being.

With only one file, it is certainly not possible to fully understand the situation.

He planned to go to the sea of ​​miasma to find out.

After all, I have the "Illustrated Book of Movable Type Module", maybe I can find some information that these scientists have missed by scanning it.

Since the file says that the range of the miasma is fixed, it shouldn't be a big problem to just drive around the edge and look for opportunities to scan.

Due to the danger of the miasma sea area, the military department of the North Wind Plateau has banned unauthorized entry, and only allowed to operate on the edge.

If Chen Xuan said that he was going to save people, it might not be so easy.

He did not choose to report his thoughts, but directly drove the "Kunpeng" out to sea, heading northeast.

After sailing on the sea for about 2 hours, a large purple object can be seen from a distance.

As the distance gets closer, it can be seen that the area of ​​the purple object is getting bigger and bigger, and soon, the entire northeast sky is covered with purple that blocks the sky and the sun.

The thick blackened purple makes the viewer tremble with fear.

Obviously, he has already approached the sea of ​​miasma.

Just like what is said in the file, the mist of the sea of ​​miasma miraculously keeps within a fixed range, completely isolating the outside world.

All gases have a diffusion trend from thick to light in the air.

However, the miasma and fog in front of him is not like this.It seems that the concentration is the same everywhere, and it looks very abrupt compared with the surrounding air.

Chen Xuan approached cautiously while focusing on perception to prevent accidental contact with invisible spores.

But he was too worried, the miasma mist composed of spores has its own scope of action, as long as it doesn't come into contact with the purple mist that looks like substance, nothing will happen.

It is mentioned in the file that there seems to be miasma in the water body, which means that the source of the miasma is likely to be in the water.

Chen Xuan stopped the boat a few hundred meters away from the mist, then jumped into the sea and continued to wait and see underwater.

He found that the water was really turbid, as if purple paint had been knocked over.

But the purple mist still has a clear boundary with the sea water. It seems that the spores are bound by a magical force in an invisible cover, isolated from the outside world.

And while keeping a certain distance, he continued to go deeper, and he also saw the huge black shadow mentioned in the file.

It was a very thick black shadow, shrouded in purple sea water, extending from the darkness deep in the ocean, and there seemed to be something hanging on it, like a tree with a strange shape.

The huge black shadow loomed in the purple miasma mist, looking sinister.

But it didn't seem to move, which made Chen Xuan feel a little more at ease.

I don't know if this huge object is related to the formation of this miasma fog.

Chen Xuan returned to the boat, and cautiously approached the miasma mist. At this time, the purple mist was within his reach.

Chen Xuan retracted the sail. At this moment, there was no wind in the sea, and the ship seemed to be standing still.

Staring at the purple mist in front of him, Chen Xuan started the "Movable Type Illustrated Book Module".

------

Name: Poisonous Mushroom Spores
Type: biological

Features: A spore released by tree mushrooms, which is corrosive and toxic.Unlike normal spores, the spores released by tree mushrooms are not used for their own reproduction, but for modifying the environment, which has a certain relationship with tree mushrooms.

The environment full of poisonous spores can not only protect the tree mushroom body from foreign invaders, but also allow the body to obtain nutrients by killing creatures that stray into it.

Weaknesses: The life cycle of a single spore is very short, no more than half a day, and it is afraid of high temperature.

------

Tree Mushroom. It seems that the huge black shadow seen in the sea just now is probably the so-called tree mushroom.

And the poisonous gas spores it releases will change the surrounding environment to be more suitable for its own survival.

"In this case, as long as the mushroom tree at the source is destroyed, the entire miasma and mist should disappear." Chen Xuan murmured.

But it is easy to say, not to mention how difficult it is to pass through the miasma area in the water, even if it is close, it is difficult to guarantee that the tree mushroom can be effectively damaged.

Because fungi, a creature like this, regenerate extremely quickly under suitable conditions, and there may be more than one tree mushroom that can cause such a large-scale fog.

Chen Xuan would not do such uncertain things.

After thinking about it, Chen Xuan felt that it was not appropriate to rush into the sea.And I am mainly looking for Xu Qing and other missing team members, as long as I can pass through the foggy area from the sea.

Destroying tree mushrooms can be done in the long run.

According to the scan results of the Movable Type Illustrated Book module, this spore is easily destroyed by high temperature.

Then it may be feasible to directly burn the entire miasma with a fire, or use flames to open up a path.

Although Chen Xuan's intuition told him that it would not be so easy, after all, Xu Qing and the others who were in it had probably already used this method.But he decided to give it a try anyway.

Chen Xuan stretched out his hand and released a flame towards the border of the miasma and mist in front of him. The orange-red flame instantly penetrated into the purple mist, as if being swallowed.

The scene that he expected a fire to burn the whole miasma did not happen.

The flame did ignite and quickly destroy some of the surrounding spores, but once the burning stopped, the surrounding spores were replenished extremely quickly.

The underwater tree mushrooms are always releasing spores in time to keep the miasma fog stable.

And it may be because of the very dampness in the miasma fog, Chen Xuan felt that to maintain the operation of the "flame injection module", he needed to consume more mental power than before.

Chen Xuan frowned.Now it's a bit tricky.

If you can't use the flame, you can only force your way.

As mentioned in the previous file, bioplastics can resist the corrosion of miasma.

There is no shortage of bioplastics, so I only need to cover the surface of the "Kunpeng" with bioplastics to ensure the safety of the hull.

This can be easily done using the "decoration module" function.

Now the deck area of ​​the "Kunpeng" is about 30 square meters. According to the size of bioplastics, more than 100 units of bioplastics are needed to cover the exposed areas of the entire ship.

I currently have more than 130 units of bioplastics, which should be enough for remodeling ships.

The hull is not a big problem and can be easily solved, but how can we protect the human body from the miasma?
