Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 229
Sitting on the seat, Chen Xuan controlled the ship while constantly turning the steering wheel to avoid the huge ice floes around him.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to the movement underwater. Since he wanted to fish, he had to find a suitable spot.

In total, nearly four days have passed since he arrived in this ice ocean.

In the past four days, he has hardly seen any living things.

In addition to the large polar bears and seals we saw before, we occasionally saw one or two polar bears on some larger ice floes.

Creatures in the air and sea have never been seen before.

There is really a feeling that "birds will fly away from thousands of mountains, and people will disappear from thousands of paths."

Leopard Bao had already finished eating the crab legs, and now he was lying in front of the windshield, blinking his big dark eyes, and curiously looking at the scene outside.

Chen Xuan was originally worried that the temperature in the cabin might be too hot for Baobao who has been living in the outside world. Even though the temperature in the cabin is less than 15 degrees now, compared to the temperature outside which is more than 100 degrees below zero, , there is a huge difference here.

But his worry was obviously unnecessary, Leopard Bao didn't feel any strange, he was indeed a polar seal that could adapt to any situation.

In this way, he can take Leopard Bao with him wherever he goes.

Of course, it still doesn't like to move much.

At the very beginning, he was very curious about the transparent baffle, and tried to poke it with his nose, but he didn't bother to continue trying after he found that the porch didn't work.

If this is a husky, it must be dismantled for him.

Baobao occasionally yelled "Ahhh", as if he was asking Chen Xuan something, but also seemed to be purely for the purpose of gaining a sense of presence.

In any case, the Leopard Treasure has added a touch of life to the usually cold "Kunpeng".

Compared with Shui Bao, who could only communicate telepathically, Leopard Bao is obviously more like a cute pet.

However, the baby leopard will definitely grow to the same size as its mother in the future, and it will not be able to fit on the "Kunpeng" by then.

…maybe then.The leopard baby will leave like the water baby.

Chen Xuan was suddenly a little lonely.

I don't know how the water treasure is doing now.

While thinking and moving forward, Chen Xuan gradually discovered that the ice floes on the sea became denser.

And to his surprise, some fish and shrimps appeared nearby, and the number was gradually increasing.

Now the leopard baby's food is available.

Looking through the telescope, these fish and shrimps were not bigger than those large creatures he had seen before, no more than 20 centimeters in length, but their bodies were somewhat transparent, and their color was slightly ice blue.

Looking from a distance, many fish and shrimps are swimming up and down near the water surface, which is much more lively than the deserted water surface before.

Could it be that something in the sea is attracting them?
Chen Xuan was a little curious.

No matter what the reason is, it is always cheaper for him now.

He came to a place where fish and shrimps were densely packed and stopped the boat.

Even though Chen Xuan's "Kunpeng" made a lot of waves when it drove nearby, the fish and shrimps were not disturbed at all.

Then Chen Xuan closed his eyes and thought about it.

A huge fishing net suddenly appeared from the wall of the "Kunpeng" and then spread into the sea.

Unexpectedly, the moment the fishing net touched the sea water, the fishing net was covered with a layer of ice slag, and then became hard and brittle. Soon, under the action of the waves, Chen Xuan watched helplessly as the fishing net broke into countless pieces .

Fuck, I almost forgot how cold the water is.

I have been staying on the "Kunpeng" equipped with the "environmental regulation module", but in fact the ship has been traveling for a long time, and the temperature outside may be much lower than when I first arrived.

However, the scene of the broken fishing net still surprised Chen Xuan.

The power of frost must not be underestimated.

You know, there used to be a saying that when the temperature reaches absolute zero, time may be frozen and stilled.

Even if there is no absolute zero in the outside world now, I am afraid it will not be much better.

It's really thanks to the mutant creatures here that can evolve a physique to adapt to this extreme cold.

However, it is impossible to use the "fishing module" to catch fish nowadays. Fishing nets made of plant fibers cannot withstand the erosion of severe cold.

Unless, he can find a material that is more frost-proof, and also has the flexibility of a rope.

Chen Xuan immediately thought of polar bear fur.

In fact, the fur of polar bears is not particularly soft. Does it have a certain degree of hardness, but in today's situation, it can barely be used.

But he soon gave up the idea.

The hair must first be woven into threads and then connected into a web.

How long will this take?
After much thought, Chen Xuan couldn't come up with a good idea.

Giving up is the easiest, but what about Leopard Baby?
The crab legs are gone.

"Baby Leopard, Baby Leopard, you little fat man, it would be great if you could become a vegetarian."

Looking at the round leopard baby beside him, he said a little depressed.

"Ah...ah..."

Bao Bao opened his eyes wide and yelled twice, as if responding to Chen Xuan's words.

"Forget it, who let me share with you such a treasure?"

You can't just watch Baobao starve to death.

Moreover, after sailing in the icy sea for so long, he finally found such a place with so many fish and shrimps. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

In desperation, Chen Xuan planned to go fishing by himself.

This cold sea water, he would never have dared to touch it before.

But now he is wearing clothes made of the fur of a giant polar bear. Polar bears are not just land creatures, they can also swim.

Although he doesn't have the thick fat of a polar bear, he still has a third-order [Physique], so he should be able to swim in the water.

"Leopard Bao, you are right here, just stay still, I'll go catch some fish first and come back."

Regardless of whether Baobao could understand it or not, Chen Xuan grabbed its belly and then came to the deck.

It is impossible to dive directly into the water.

Chen Xuan tied a rope to the racket stick, then grabbed the rope and slowly descended.

First, the toes slowly touch the sea water.

Chen Xuan's movements were as careful as trying to feel the temperature of the pool before taking a bath in a hot spring.

Touching the water with my toes, I didn't feel anything.

Chen Xuan boldly put his whole body down slowly, and finally his whole body completely sank into the water.

He feels very good now. To be honest, the effect of the polar bear's fur is beyond expectation. He feels that the sea water is basically completely isolated from the outside.

Even the weak parts such as the eyes, under the cover of bear fur, cannot receive the intrusion of sea water.

The fur of the polar bear is against the sky.

The only problem was that although he didn't feel the cold, the sea water still had a thin layer of ice on his clothes, and he had to keep moving to keep the ice from getting thicker and thicker on him.

At the same time, this thin layer of ice will also hinder him and slow down his swimming speed.

Now the total weight of this large polar bear fur suit is nearly 30 kilograms, and the surface is hairy. This has had a considerable impact on the speed of movement. Chen Xuan's current swimming speed is very slow and very difficult.

It's a pity that he can't wear a diving suit at this time.

Hurry up and go back after catching the fish.

With his current skills and toxin energy, he can get a fish or two.

With a flash of white light, the Snake Tooth Spear appeared from Chen Xuan's hand.

Countless fish and shrimps were running around Chen Xuan's body, and he swung the snake-toothed spear, and slashed at these nearby fish and shrimps.

However, in the process of waving, he felt as if an object weighing tens of thousands of catties was pressed on his arm, and his speed became quite slow. Before he could touch the fish and shrimp, the fish and shrimp had already slipped away.

Chen Xuan thought this process was too easy.

The water in the sea of ​​ice slows down even if light passes through it.

He tried a few more times and found the result was the same.

No matter how hard he swung it, he couldn't touch these fish and shrimp.

Although Chen Xuan's speed was as slow as a turtle, the fish and shrimp around him were not affected by the ice sea.

Looking at the ice-blue appearance of these fish and shrimp, Chen Xuan can probably guess the reason.

This is probably because these fish and shrimp themselves have been baptized by frost energy for a long time and have adapted to the environment in the ice sea.

He tried to release the toxin energy into the water through the snake tooth gun. Although this would dilute the power of the toxin, it might have some impact on the surrounding fish and shrimp.

However, when he did this, he found that the toxin had just been released from the tip of the snake's fangs, and was instantly solidified into a small lump of ice.

This scene gave Chen Xuan a chill in his heart.

The energy of frost is actually so overbearing.

You can really freeze everything.

What should I do now?

The leopard baby is still waiting up there.

Chen Xuan felt a little anxious.

At this time, he found that the fish and shrimps around him seemed to be tired of playing with him, and they all swam towards the depths of the sea.

Where are they going?
Chen Xuan looked in the direction where the fish and shrimp were escaping, but found something strange.

Some white things were swaying slightly in the sea hundreds of meters deep below his feet.

I've been focusing on catching fish before, but I didn't notice these things under my feet.

What's more, there is bright light reflected by an iceberg all around, and the things under the feet are very hazy. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

It appears to be some plants.

The main body of this plant is white, slightly bluish, and looks like jade from a distance.

Huge and thick rhizomes extend here from the depths of the invisible ocean, and there are many slender branches on the rhizomes, which seem to be leaves, but also like tentacles, which seem to have this structure from top to bottom.

The tentacle-like things growing on the rhizomes look very soft, and they are constantly swaying with the sea water. The scene is a bit weird.

This... how is this possible?
Chen Xuan couldn't believe his eyes.

How could there be plants that can grow in such cold seawater, and they are not frozen into ice, and even... can remain soft.

This unscientific!

Chen Xuan instantly felt a great sense of curiosity, and he wanted to get closer and take a closer look.

However, the location of these strange plants was a bit deep, nearly 400 meters away from his position. At his current speed, it would take some time to swim to reach them.

This made Chen Xuan hesitate. He was currently moving so slowly in the water. If there was any danger, he might not be able to escape in time.

Although he has also experienced several battles, the water is still not his home field.

From a security point of view, leaving is the most correct thing to do.

Although Chen Xuan thought so in his heart, his body didn't move.

Great curiosity was tormenting him, and he couldn't take this step.

The faintly white plants seemed to have a magical power that was attracting him.

After struggling violently in his heart, Chen Xuan finally swam towards those white plants.

He knew that if he left here now, he would regret it.

Finally, Chen Xuan slowly swam in front of these strange white plants.

When you get close, you can see that there are many small fish and shrimps gathering near these plants. They seem to like the environment here very much.

Just like birds inhabit the woods, these small fish and shrimps seem to use these white plants as shelters.

And this white plant looked closer, and you could see some blue lines on the surface of its various parts, which looked even more weird.

What the hell is this?
With great curiosity, Chen Xuan activated the "Illustrated Book Module of Movable Type".

------

Name: Hanyu algae
Type: biological

Features: An artificially synthesized species, which belongs to technological creations and is not born naturally. According to the analysis of biological tissues, the lifespan of this plant is quite ancient, and it should have exceeded 10 years.

These cold jade algae seem to have been stimulated by the mutated energy, which has accelerated their growth rate, and they have only recently grown to their current scale.

In addition, the growth of Tamama algae requires a cold environment. At the same time, Tamama algae will also change the surrounding temperature and release a large amount of frost energy, making it colder.

Therefore, the vicinity of Hanyuzao will attract a group of creatures that have mutated due to the influence of frost energy.

The algae leaves of Hanyu algae have incredible properties. They can withstand extreme cold and maintain their softness.

------

After reading the system analysis, Chen Xuan was shocked.

The plant in front of me called Hanyu algae is actually artificially synthesized. Is this really possible?

And from a time perspective, these magical cold jade algae have actually existed for 10 years.

This made Chen Xuan's heart move.

He thought of the magical cave and the magical stone tablet.

Are these cold jade algae also the handwriting of those super ancient humans?
How terrible science and technology do they have?
Chen Xuan became more and more curious about what happened in the super ancient times.

Why has such a powerful civilization not been passed down?
In the end what happened?
Also, the cold jade algae can change the temperature of the sea water. Is this the reason for the formation of the ice sea? Does this mean that there are also cold jade algae under the ice sea in the northwest of the North Wind Plateau?
For a moment, countless guesses rose from Chen Xuan's mind, making him confused for a while.

It wasn't until a small fish passed by and touched him lightly that Chen Xuan came back to his senses.

You can't guess anything about ultra-ancient things by yourself.

But these cold jade algae in front of him are very valuable items, plants that can resist the cold, just suitable for him to make fishing nets that can be used in today's environment, and more items.
