Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

After trying more than ten times, Zhou Wen finally succeeded in starting a fire and igniting the furnace.

Next came the waiting. Zhou Wen remade two wooden foundations and placed them on the body of the transformed Leviathan. He lay down on them to sunbathe, feeling relaxed, comfortable, and at ease.

"If wooden foundations are possible, then stone foundations can be used too," Zhou Wen thought to himself, basking in the sun.

Since entering the Deep Blue Sea, the Transformation Leviathan has been fighting against other large creatures more and more often, and today it has suffered such serious injuries.

Zhou Wen thought that since the stone foundation could be placed on the body of the Phantom Leviathan, he might as well lay a layer of stone foundation on the surface of the Phantom Leviathan's body. In the future, when encountering large creatures of similar size, these stone foundations could also play a protective role in the fight.

This is indeed a good method, but upon closer inspection, it is not very feasible, because there are many large creatures in the Deep Blue Sea, but even more giant creatures. When transforming into Leviathan, one is often chased around by giant creatures.

Therefore, speed is crucial. Laying a stone foundation on the Leviathan will definitely affect the escape speed, and for a giant creature that can chase and kill the Leviathan, the defensive power of the stone foundation is simply not enough.

You might find that the giant creature has a crispy outer layer and an excellent texture when you eat it.

"Let's give it a try first." Zhou Wen flipped off the wooden platform, then made a stone foundation and began laying it on the back of the transformed Leviathan.

Soon, Zhou Wen laid more than two hundred stone foundations on the back of the Illusionary Leviathan, but the Illusionary Leviathan was too big, and he didn't even cover one-fifth of the two hundred stone foundations.

"Huh? What's pressing down on me? It's so heavy." The mind of the transformed Leviathan echoed, feeling the weight becoming unbearable. Its body, which had been floating on the sea, began to slowly sink.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Wen immediately used his mind to collect all the stone foundations, and the Leviathan healed floated up again.

After trying, it was clear that the idea of ​​laying a stone foundation on the Leviathan was impossible.

Zhou Wen also realized the reason: the stone foundations were too heavy, each weighing about two tons, so two hundred would weigh 400 tons. To cover the back of the Transformation Leviathan, it would take about a thousand stone foundations, equivalent to two thousand tons.

[Transform into Leviathan]

Age: 18 day

Stage: Birth period

Body length: 48 meters

Weight: 500 tons

Food type: Algae

Feeding method: Filter feeding

Evaluation: A 500-ton baby.

Zhou Wen glanced at the information about the current Leviathan. The Leviathan's body only weighs 500 tons, but if the stone foundation is laid all over its body, it will weigh at least 5 tons. Wouldn't that sink the 500-ton baby to the bottom?

However, Zhou Wen had another way to reduce the weight: he placed a stone foundation at intervals and a wooden foundation in the middle, so that the gravity and buoyancy would cancel each other out.

Although wooden foundations are not very defensive, every little bit of protection is better than no protection at all.

However, this method needs to be tested underwater to see its effects. Zhou Wen is currently keeping the furnace burning, so we can only try this idea after the iron smelting is finished.

So Zhou Wen lay down on the wooden platform to rest again, adding wood to the furnace as fuel from time to time. About two hours passed, and the iron ore in the furnace was only red-hot, showing no signs of melting.

"It seems that using wood as fuel is not feasible." This was within Zhou Wen's expectations, since iron smelting in reality requires carbon as fuel, which has high combustion efficiency, produces high temperatures, and can reach the melting point of iron ore in the furnace.

The problem is that Zhou Wen has no carbon, not even any information about it. That's why he tried using wood as fuel, just in case the world system was designed that way. But it seems that's not the case now.

Zhou Wen was not disappointed. Although he did not have coal, he could make charcoal.

Having played so many survival games and watched so many survival videos, making charcoal is a basic skill for him, and he also happens to have the materials to make a small charcoal kiln: soil and hay.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

Zhou Wen glanced at the sky; it was almost evening. Making a small charcoal kiln and then firing the charcoal would take a long time, so there was definitely no time today.

At night, even the Leviathan would need to find a relatively safe place to sleep, as it was too dangerous to stay afloat at sea.

However, having finally managed to start a fire, how could he waste it? Zhou Wen immediately returned to the stomach wall space and used five iron ingots to make an iron pot.

Then, he took out a can of beef, used a thousand units of basic materials in the world trading channel, traded five packs of instant noodles at a high price, and traded a portion of spiky krill meat.

After taking a bunch of other things, he returned to the back of the Leviathan, placed the iron pot on the furnace, poured in mineral water, and after the water boiled, poured in two packets of instant noodle seasoning, and then poured in the canned beef.

In an instant, the aroma filled the air. Zhou Wen asked Chen Xin for another serving of mirror-skin mullet meat. Mirror-skin mullet meat is quite firm, so it was sliced ​​and cooked directly in the pot.

When it was almost cooked, I added the thickly sliced ​​spiky krill meat, followed by the thinly sliced ​​white clam meat, and finally threw in a few guppies. Basically, I threw all the available ingredients into the pot.

"It's a pity I didn't plant any vegetables, otherwise it would have been even better if I had planted some next time." Zhou Wen looked at the pot of mixed stew, which had no greenery at all, and felt that something was missing.

[Send two wooden bowls.] Zhou Wen sent Chen Xin a private message, and then sent her and Jiang Haitao a pair of chopsticks.

[Boss Zhou, is there something good to eat?]

Chen Xin handed two wooden bowls to Zhou Wen. After receiving the chopsticks, Zhou Wen immediately realized that there was something to eat. Jiang Haitao did the same.

Hey! I'll make you a bowl of noodles.

[Brother Wen, is this Tie Niu Beef Noodles?]

That's right, it's...iron pot beef and seafood noodles.

I don't eat beef! Hahaha.

Zhou Wen chatted with the two of them while putting five packets of noodles into the pot. After cooking for a short while, he took the iron pot off the furnace to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.

I served Chen Xin and Jiang Haitao each a bowl and sent it through the system interface.

Wow! This is delicious! It feels like it's been ages since I've had anything salty. By the way, Brother Wen, where did this beef come from? I can't find it on the World Trade Channel.

[This was found in a supply crate, but you can only find it after entering the Deep Blue Sea. You two should be getting there soon.]

Afterwards, Zhou Wen told them about the dangers of the Deep Blue Sea, and that they should make sure to feed their transformed Leviathans well when they were in the border sea area, so that they would have enough strength to escape when they entered the Deep Blue Sea.

[By the way, Mr. Zhou, you only ordered two wooden bowls. Do you have any bowls of your own?]

Zhou Wen glanced at the wooden bucket he was holding, picked up a piece of spiky krill meat from the bucket and put it in his mouth, then lifted the bucket and took a sip of soup.

Um... I have my own bowl.
