The closed black cavity caused by the curvature of the voyage quickly faded, and at the end of the route filled with the spectrum of red and blue shifts appeared a blue planet, which was rapidly magnified on the holographic projection inside the spacecraft, and soon the details of its surface could be seen - its beauty was palpitating.This is a planet completely covered by oceans, the boundless ocean spreads all over the view, clouds, storms, waves, whirlpools, all the embellishments fall on a blue picture, and the sense of openness and magnificence it brings almost instantly dispels the depression and solemnity brought by the past three days of civilization ruins journey, and the passengers in the lounge look at Io with fascination, and from time to time someone whispers in admiration.They have never seen a planet completely covered by oceans, and they have not even imagined it.Jean Lucas couldn't help but raise his eyebrows a little when he saw Io, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really the hometown of the Kraken......
It's all water. ”"Nonsense, isn't the place where the Kraken lives all water," Heatherena squinted at her old rival who had been fighting her for centuries, and then suddenly showed a teasing smile, "Oh, by the way, you're a landlubber, you turn your muscles when you see water, don't you?"
”"The Bloods have always been fond of water, right?"
The corners of Gene Lucas's eyes thumped, "It's just that you're not afraid of water, you're not even afraid of holy water—I'm embarrassed to be of the same race as you." ”"Vivien-sama isn't afraid of these things!"
Heatherana proudly crossed her waist, "So this is the performance of a high-level bloodline!"
I'm telling you, if you want to go further, you must work hard to overcome your own racial defects, if you can trust me, go back to our Hethanna family, and I will get you a collapse cure, soak you in holy water, and if you don't die, you will be sanctified in the flesh......"
Jean Lucas: "......"
He felt that he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this race's shame!
And while the two of them were chatting in the open sky, the silver-white Giant Tortoise Rock Platform had already rushed into the atmosphere, gradually approaching the vast sea of Io."
It's not going to land directly on the surface of the sea this time, is it?"
A vampire nobleman frowned and said, "I don't like it much. ”"There's got to have to be a landing field or something," one of the Shadow Fiends guessed, "or go down and change ships." ”"Wait, there's something on the surface of the sea......
What is that?!
”The blue sea quickly enlarged, and some small black dots suddenly appeared on it, and when they were close enough, the details of those small black dots finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes - they were a series of steel cities floating on the sea!
Oval-shaped islands float in the Sea of Io, all of the same shape and size, connected by huge steel bridges and pipes, and old and old buildings are piled up on the steel-made earth, as dilapidated as a cluster of ruins after some kind of catastrophe.At the edge of the artificial island, you can see a lot of things that are clearly added later—a rudimentary trestle that extends into the sea, and beside the trestle there are brackets on which to dry seafood, a network of metal cables intertwined with clumps of drifting seaweed, and some rudimentary boats plying between them, as if gathering products.That was probably the fishing and breeding grounds built by the inhabitants of the island.On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, Hao Ren also saw those things that appeared on the sea, and the body of the floating urban agglomeration had not changed much compared to when he left - those people of the ark had obviously not changed the abilities of these ancient starships, and even if they were all educated, it would take at least two or three generations to restore them to the point where they could operate those ancient equipment.But there were some new things around the city: rudimentary trestles and metal meshes apparently used to breed edible aquatic plants, and simple boats cruising offshore, all of which the Ark inhabitants had studied and built themselves after he left."
Looks like Lawrence's work is going well," Vivien smiled and nodded, "The inhabitants of the Ark have begun to seek resources from Io's natural environment - this is not easy for a group of exiles who have been closed in the ship for 10,000 years, which means that they have begun to learn how to survive after breaking away from the Ark's life support system. ”"And they've learned how to build ships," Lily looked very happy, "and they're going to get into the water!"
When these people first saw the sea, they were scared enough, how far they could go from the shore......"
"I hope Eva gets along well with these new residents," Hao Ren remembered the newborn sea spirit, "Anyway, she should have noticed us......"
Hao Ren was right, Eva had indeed noticed the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace that was falling from the sky - for the curious "new sea goddess", anything that fell from the sky was a treasure worth paying attention to, So before the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace landed on the surface, the water below suddenly surged, and then a huge female figure quickly rose from the water, forming Eva's form.The transparent "water giant" looked curiously at the giant turtle rock platform floating in front of him, and then finally recognized it, so he excitedly raised his hand and began to wave it—blah, the sound of huge water resounded throughout the world.The spaceship slowly descended, and Eva's huge body slowly descended and shrunk, and finally turned into a female water giant "only" more than ten meters tall on the surface of the sea, she looked excitedly and expectantly at the giant turtle rock platform that was slowly opening the hatch, as if waiting at home all morning, finally waiting for the owner to carry the ribs home like a dog.Forgive Hao Ren for not coming up with a better adjective - who made him see Lily's silly face full of anticipation and appetite every day as soon as he came home.The spaceship stopped, and the first to come out of it was not Hao Ren, but a group of krakens, including Caterina, who jumped directly into the sea water from the spaceship, and then layers of light blue aura expanded in all directions around them, and where the aura spread, the water surface quickly calmed down, and there was an incredible change - it formed a solid surface like glass, and a layer of "hardened water" only a few millimeters thick covered the sea surface, and quickly expanded to the end of the field of vision, The people who stepped down from the spaceship were surprised to find that the sea beneath their feet had formed a layer of hard and stable "earth", and they were still a little trembling when they first stepped on it, but soon they were all amazed by the power of the Kraken to control the "water", and even Hao Ren was slightly amazed by Caterina's skills.This is much more high-end than Nangong May's rolling into a ball and wiping the floor at home all day.After shaping a piece of ground for others to stand on, Catrina and the Krakens jumped out of the sea: the "hard" water had no effect on them, and they walked freely between the hardened water and the sea as if nothing was there.Katerina, swaying her snake tail, snaked her way to Eva, and she held out her hand to the surging water, "Eva, we're coming to see you." ”Eva let out a rattling sound of water, curiously lowering her height, and finally turned into a transparent girl about the same height as Katrina, she felt the familiar aura of the other person, and the sound of the water became louder and louder, with a cheerful atmosphere."
Look at the ......" came a vague sound from the rushing water, and although the tone was strange, it was barely audible to be a syllable other than the sound of water.Hao Ren suddenly showed a surprised expression, and he and Vivian next to him looked at each other: "Eva finally knows how to communicate in language?!"
”"She's dealing with the Ark dwellers every day," Vivien said, looking thoughtfully at the floating cityscapes not far away, "and it may have been in the process that the concept of language communication was born."
But she obviously didn't understand the language we were using, and she was just repeating syllables. ”Hao Ren immediately crouched down and pressed his hand on the hardened layer of water, although this layer of water had been blessed by Caterina's magic, it was still essentially an extension of Eva's body (the entire Sea of Io was actually a part of Eva), so after contact, a watery thought flowed quietly, Hao Ren looked up at Eva's avatar, who also turned to look at him - the spiritual connection between the two had been established.Sure enough, as Vivien said, Eva had learned the concept of language communication in her dealings with the inhabitants of the Ark, and she had even learned the languages of the inhabitants of the Ark!"
She has a very strong learning ability," Hao Ren stood up with a smile, "I just passed on the materials of several languages on the earth to her through a psychic connection, and she learned it very quickly—the existence of natural will is really extraordinary, as long as she understands a concept, everything under this concept is simply easy for her." ”"Eva, this is a gift from the sisters of the earth," Catrina opened her ridiculously large travel bag, and took out carefully wrapped things from it, "The Krakens live very well on Earth, these are the treasures they have collected over there, you see, this is what is produced in the oceans of Earth......"
Catrina opened the gifts one by one and pushed them in front of Eva, there were huge colorful shells inside, There are bracelets and necklaces woven with water plants, manganese nodules from the ocean floor, beautiful gems from near submarine volcanoes, and fragments of steering gear parts removed from the Bismarck—I don't know if they were removed after the ship sank or before the ship's sinking......
Hao Ren: "......"
