The closed black cavity caused by the curvature sailing quickly receded, and a blue planet appeared at the end of the flight path filled with red and blue shifted spectra. The details—it's breathtakingly beautiful.
This is a planet completely covered by the ocean. The boundless ocean covers the entire field of vision. Clouds, storms, waves, and vortexes, all embellishments fall on a blue picture scroll, which brings a sense of openness and magnificence. Feeling almost instantly dispelled the depression and solemnity brought by the trip to the ruins of civilization in the past three days, the passengers in the lounge looked at Io ecstatically, and some people praised in a low voice from time to time.
They had never seen, or even imagined, a planet entirely covered by oceans.
Gene Lucas couldn't help trembling his eyebrows 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 sea monsters live is full of water?" Hesiana squinted at this old opponent who had fought with her for many centuries, and then suddenly smiled teasingly, "Oh, yes, you are a landlubber , you turn your muscles when you see water, right?"
"Strigoi don't like water all the time, okay?" Gene Lucas's eyes twitched, "It's not only you, a freak, who is not afraid of water, but even holy water—I'm ashamed to be in the same race as you. "
"Master Vivienne is not afraid of these things!" Heather Annat proudly put her hands on her hips, "So this is the performance of a high-level blood race! Let me tell 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 Hesianna family, I will give you a collapse therapy, soak you in holy water, if you don't die, you will be sanctified... "
Gene Lucas: "…"
He felt that he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this racial shame!
And while the two of them were chatting freely, the silver-white Giant Turtle Rock Platform had already rushed into the atmosphere and gradually approached the vast and boundless sea surface of Io.
"Isn't it going to land directly on the sea this time?" A vampire nobleman frowned and said, "I don't like it very much."
"There must be something like a landing field," a Shadow Fiend speculated, "or maybe change ships after going down."
"Wait, there seems to be something on the sea... what is that?!"
The blue sea rapidly enlarged, and some neatly arranged small black dots suddenly appeared on it. When the distance was close enough, the details of those small black dots finally appeared in front of everyone—they were a series of steel cities floating on the sea!
Oval artificial islands float on the sea of Io. They have exactly the same shape and size, and they are connected to each other by huge steel bridges and pipes. Old buildings are densely piled up on those islands. The ground made of iron and steel was dilapidated like a group of ruins after some kind of disaster. On the edge of the artificial island, you can see a lot of things that were obviously added in the later period - there are simple trestles extending into the sea, and some brackets are erected beside the trestle. , inside the mesh structure are clusters of floating seaweed, and there are some simple boats wandering among these things, as if they are collecting products.
That should be the fishing grounds and breeding grounds built by the residents on the island.
On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, Hao Ren also saw those things that appeared on the sea surface. The body of the floating city group has not changed much since he left—the residents of the ark have obviously not changed these ancient planets. Even if all of them receive academic education, it will take at least two or three generations of efforts to restore the capabilities of the ship to the point where they can operate those ancient equipment. However, there are some new gadgets around the urban agglomeration: those simple trestle bridges and metal nets obviously used to grow edible aquatic plants, as well as simple boats cruising in the offshore, these things should be the residents of the Ark after he left. Researched and created.
"It seems that Lawrence's work is progressing well." Vivienne nodded with a smile, "The residents of the Ark have already begun to seek resources from the natural environment of Io—this is a big deal for a group of exiles who have been sealed in the spaceship for ten thousand years. It is not easy to say, this means that they have already begun to learn how to survive without the life support system of the ark."
"And they also learned how to build a boat." Lily also looked very happy, "They dared to go into the water! When these people first saw the sea, they were so frightened, they were all as far away from the shore..."
"I hope Eva gets along well with these new residents," Hao Ren recalled the newborn Ocean Spirit. "She should have noticed us..."
Hao Ren is right, Eva has indeed noticed the Giant Turtle Rock Platform falling from the sky—for the curious "new goddess of the sea", anything that falls from the sky is worthy of attention Baby, so before the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace landed on the sea surface, the sea water below suddenly surged, and then a huge female figure quickly rose from the sea water, forming the shape of Eva. This transparent "water giant" looked curiously at the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace floating in front of his eyes, and finally recognized it, so he raised his hand excitedly and started waving—crash, clatter, huge water sound Resounded throughout the world.
The spacecraft descended slowly, and Eva's huge body also slowly descended and shrunk, and finally turned into a female water giant "only" a dozen meters high on the sea surface. She watched excitedly and expectantly as the cabin was slowly opened. The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace at the gate looks like a dog who has been waiting at home all morning and finally waits for the owner to come home with ribs.
Forgive Hao Ren for not being able to think of a better adjective—who made him see Lily's silly face full of anticipation and appetite every day when he came home.
The spaceship came to a complete stop, but it was not Hao Ren who came out first, but a group of sea monsters including Katrina. They jumped directly from the spaceship into the sea water, and then layers of light blue halos followed. They spread out in all directions as the center, and where the halo spread, the water surface quickly calmed down, and an incredible change took place—it formed a solid surface like glass, and a layer of "hardened water layer" only a few millimeters thick covered the sea surface and quickly expanded to the end of the field of vision, and then those who walked down from the spaceship were surprised to find that the seawater under their feet had formed a hard and stable "earth". When they first stepped on it, they were a little trembling, but soon Soon everyone was amazed at the sea monster's ability to control "water", and even Hao Ren was slightly amazed by Katrina's skills.
This is much more high-end than Nangong Wuyue rolling into a ball and wiping the floor at home all day long.
After creating a ground for others to stand on, Katrina and the sirens jumped out of the sea: the "hard" water had no effect on them, and they were hardening the water layer and the sea water. It is as if there is nothing to walk freely between.
Katrina swung her snake tail and meandered to Eva, she stretched out her hand towards the surging sea: "Eva, we are here to see you."
Eva made a sound of splashing water, lowered her height curiously, and finally turned into a transparent girl about the same height as Katrina. She felt the familiar aura on her body, and the sound of splashing water became more and more intense. Loud, with a cheerful vibe.
"Look..." An indistinct voice came out of the rushing water. Although the tone was weird, it was barely discernible that it was a syllable other than the sound of water.
Hao Ren suddenly showed a surprised expression. He and Vivian next to him looked at each other in blank dismay: "Eva finally understands language communication?!"
"She deals with those Ark residents every day," Vivienne looked thoughtfully at the floating urban agglomeration not far away, "maybe the concept of language communication came into being during this process. But she obviously doesn't understand The language we used was just repeating syllables."
Hao Ren immediately squatted down and pressed his hands on the hardened water layer. Although this water layer has been blessed by Katrina's magic, it is still an extension of Eva's body in essence (the entire Sea of Io is actually is a part of Eva), so after the contact, there was indeed a watery thought flowing quietly. Hao Ren looked up at the incarnation of Eva, and the latter turned to look at him at the same time—the heart between the two The connection has been established.
Sure enough, as Vivienne said, Eva understood the concept of language communication in the process of dealing with the residents of the ark, and she even learned the language of those residents of the ark!
"Her learning ability is very strong." Hao Ren stood up with a smile, "I just passed several language materials on the earth to her through a telepathic connection, and she learned it very quickly - the existence of natural will It really is extraordinary, as long as she understands a concept, everything under this concept is easy for her."
"Eva, this is a gift from the sisters on Earth," Katrina opened her ridiculously huge travel bag, and took out carefully wrapped things from it. , "The sea monsters live very well on the earth. These are the treasures they collected there. You see, these are the things produced in the oceans on the earth..."
Katrina opened the gifts one by one and pushed them in front of Eva. There were huge colorful shells inside, bracelets and necklaces carefully woven with water plants, manganese nodules from the bottom of the ocean, and some collected from submarine volcanoes. Beautiful gems nearby, and pieces of steering gear parts that were removed from the Bismarck - I don't know if they were removed after the ship sank or before the ship sank...
Hao Ren: "..."
