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

When Zhou Wen woke up, it was already the 34th day. The Leviathan began to move, and he sat up from the wooden platform.

As soon as he got up, Zhou Wen sent a message to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin, asking them to hand over all the seaweed they had obtained that day, excluding the 20 people on duty today, out of the 100 people from the guild who went out to make charcoal.

Zhou Wen planned to crush all the seaweed for these 80 people and distribute it to them, allowing their Leviathan transformations to skip the digestion phase. This would give these 80 people an extra leg of their journey each day, and over four days, it would be equivalent to making up for the time spent burning charcoal.

Soon, the Transformed Leviathan entered the feeding phase. Zhou Wen placed a human-powered seaweed grinder. Today, he planned to feed the Transformed Leviathan 1000 watermelons and one Crimson Root Nodule together to see if the two growth-accelerating foods could work together.

Zhou Wen sat on the human-powered bicycle, pedaling rapidly. Watermelons fell from the deep blue treasure chest into the seaweed crusher. However, Zhou Wen would swing the thin steel knife in his hand to cut the falling watermelons into slices about two centimeters long, making it easier for the crusher to grind them.

After a while, the feeding phase ended. During this time, they encountered two white beetles, which Zhou Wen killed with two blows using his steel longsword.

"Boss Zhou, I've collected all the seaweed from the 50 people who make charcoal. What are they going to do with it?"

[Good thing. Help them break up the seaweed and return it, so they can skip the digestion stage.]

【Huh? We can do that ourselves. We also have manual seaweed grinders.】

[You guys can't keep up with me! Send them over quickly, one by one, don't get them mixed up.]

After that, Chen Xin sent Zhou Wen 50 private messages, each containing 20 portions of seaweed. Jiang Haitao also sent over seaweed from his guild's 30 members.

With a thought, Zhou Wen created the blade-leaf fish power unit, then combined it with the seaweed crusher, poured in a bottle of phasic Leviathan blood, and the six blade-leaf fish began to spin rapidly.

An hour later, the seaweed from all 40 guild members had been pulverized and sent back to them.

Zhou Wen replaced the six blade-leaf fish, poured in another bottle of transmuted Leviathan blood, and began to crush the seaweed of the remaining 40 guild members.

"This is a bit slow." The digestion phase of the Leviathan transformation only takes two or three hours. If it takes him two hours to crush the seaweed, then the seaweed is being crushed for nothing.

So Zhou Wen asked Jiang Haitao to send over his manual seaweed crusher, and then connected two seaweed crushers to the other side of the knife-leaf fish power unit, so that both crushed seaweed at the same time.

Looking at the power unit on both sides, with a seaweed crusher on each side, Zhou Wen suddenly had a brilliant idea. He moved one of the seaweed crushers and then merged it with the other. After the two seaweed crushers were horizontally combined, a blue light appeared, and the blades of the two machines were connected.

The blade-shaped fish power unit can make the blade wheels of the next unit rotate as soon as one blade wheel is driven.

"If we put the three seaweed crushers together, will they still be able to drive it?" Zhou Wen got another manual seaweed crusher from Chen Xin and placed it horizontally behind the second one, finding that the power unit could still drive it.

With three seaweed grinders operating simultaneously, the remaining 800 million portions of seaweed were all ground up in just over ten minutes.

"I wonder if we can increase the number of seaweed crushers?" Zhou Wen really wanted to experiment, but unfortunately he didn't have enough steel ingots left.

He had a total of 51 steel ingots. He used 40 of them for three machines and one power unit. He used the remaining 11 to make a wide-backed steel knife for Jiang Haitao and a slender steel knife for himself. He used a total of 5 of those 11, leaving him with only 6.

"We're running low on steel ingots." But there are very few ways to obtain steel ingots right now. Besides producing them from small steel worms and exploring various creature caves, the only other option is to use insect removal vouchers.

Zhou Wen took out another pest control voucher he had acquired before, called the "Shiyuntian Leviathan Pest Control Voucher". It had a five-day validity period when it was acquired, and today was the fifth day.

"Judging from the name, it's not simple. I'll go alone this time." Zhou Wen put the pest control coupon away for the time being, planning to go later that evening.

Then, he took out five more location cards. One of them, the Mountain and Sea Clam Location Card, was obtained through a duel. Another, the Golden Location Card, was obtained from a pure gold treasure chest in the underwater maze trial. The other three were acquired. Zhou Wen used these five location cards in turn.

Neither the [Mountain and Sea Clam Positioning Card] nor the [Golden Positioning Card] worked, nor did the other two. Only one card worked successfully, and it had the words "White Bone" written on it.

[Ding! The Bone Positioning Card has been successfully used. The Bone Sea has been located for the Transformation Leviathan. Based on the current speed, it will enter the Bone Sea in two days.]

"The Sea of ​​Bones?" Zhou Wen pondered for a moment, having not obtained any relevant information before.

"Anyway, it's only two days. We'll know when we get there." Zhou Wen put away the remaining four [Location Cards] and began waiting for today's supply boxes.

While waiting, Zhou Wen took out the mangoes and gave three to each of Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin, keeping the remaining three for himself.

After some time, the first supply box of the day arrived, and Zhou Wen went straight up and opened it.

[Ding! Obtained glass distillation flask blueprint.]

"Finally, I've got another blueprint." Zhou Wen took out the blueprint, used it directly, and checked the requirements for production.

[Glass distillation flask blueprint: Requires 3 pieces of glass.]

The materials required were not many. Zhou Wen had obtained a lot of glass in the underwater maze trial and was not short of it at all. He directly used 3 pieces of glass to make a glass distillation flask, which was shaped like a round-bottom distillation flask commonly used in chemistry.

"Can the anesthetic components in the spines of sea urchins be distilled out using a distillation flask?"

Zhou Wen had previously ground the spines of sea urchins into powder using a stone mortar and pestle. He tested the powder on himself and found that it had no anesthetic effect at all. Now, seeing this glass distillation flask, the idea of ​​distilling it in the flask suddenly popped into his mind.

Tell Jiang Haitao to find the guild member who made charcoal today and ask for a piece of burning charcoal.

Zhou Wen lit a small fire in the space inside his stomach wall, partly to heat the distillation flask, and partly to check the oxygen production efficiency of the three crimson oxygen generators.

First, put some sea urchin spines into a distillation flask, pour in some mineral water, then make a glass distillation flask to hold the distilled liquid, and finally put the distillation flask with the spines on a fire to heat it.

Soon, the water in the distillation flask boiled. The spikes were heated by the high temperature, and the anesthetic components were diluted out. Zhou Wen quickly wet a piece of cloth with seawater and placed it on the condenser to cool down the evaporated gas and condense it into water droplets.
