Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 117: Oysters save mankind
This is definitely a surprise!
It was not the magic stone that pleased Renault, but what it represented.
Judging from the turbulence created by the doom oyster shells, this shows that they can absorb and use magic energy. They are a kind of magic creature. According to experience, the probability of magic spar or magic stone condensed in the body of the magic creature is far Higher than other creatures.
This magic stone has proved this point. Judging from the size of the magic stone, the probability of the doom oyster shell producing magic stone is not too low.
In addition, the doom oyster shell is a social creature, and its strength is not strong, and it can be farmed on a large scale.
This means that the magic stone can be mass-produced!
Thinking of this, Renault immediately asked Ronald to stop the ship, called the girl and Moose over, and the three discussed together in a low voice. As Renault spoke, the expressions of the two became more and more excited.
After the discussion, Renault immediately began to salvage, and Moose led his men to assist Renault in finding the magic stone from the shells he picked up.
The girl called Ronald and asked carefully about the doom oyster shell information, including its distribution range, habits, and whether anyone knew how to breed it.
Compared with Renault's salvage method, Sansha's "diving bite" salvage method is simply weak. Renault grabs a thick rope and throws it directly into the sea, and the rope automatically swims to the seabed.
Once you touch the doom oyster shell, under the control of [Nian Motive Force], the rope automatically entangles it, and violently pulls it away from the attached reef, but this is not over yet.
How could Renault only salvage one shell at a time?
Isn't that the same level as Sansha?
The rope continued to float to the next doom oyster shell. This shell seemed to perceive something bad. Renault clearly felt the waves of mana on the bottom of the sea, and then a strong stream of water shot towards the rope.
However, this is useless because the rope is soft!
With a movement of Renault's heart, the rope twisted instantly, just avoiding the water flow. With strong mental power, he could feel the direction of the water flow the moment the water flow appeared.
Then the rope wraps the shell and easily peels it off the reef.
In this way, in just 1 minute, the rope had already **** 7 doom oyster shells. At this time, Renault retracted the rope and floated to the sea with the shells.
This was not because Renault didn't want to grab it, but because the rope was not long enough. After tying up 7 shells, the straight length of the rope was reduced by half, making it impossible to reach the distant shells.
When Reynolds salvaged, Sansha also pulled on the side of the ship and stretched out his dog's head to stare at the water. When the first string of shells was lifted up by the rope, his dog's eyes showed obvious envy.
Can you not envy it?
The boy was tossed to death by the turbulence at the bottom, risking injury to bring back a doom oyster shell. As a result, Renault dropped a rope and caught a bunch of them.
It's really better than a dog, an angry dog!
Sansha lay down on the deck a little dejectedly, and the dog's eyes stared at the undulating sea in a daze.
Hearing the muffled sound of the shells falling on the deck, the shouting of Moose, and the footsteps of a large group of people running, it only moved its ears and did not rush over to watch as curiously as usual.
This guy is hit!
Regardless of the three silly dogs, under the organization of Moose, each doom oyster shell is broken down by two island guards.
After fixing the shell and inserting the long weapon into the gap of the shell, the two of them worked together to pry open the shell using the principle of leverage, and then searched for the magic stone in the shell meat.
Under the girl's advice, the shellfish was not wasted, but was collected by a special person, and put in the warehouse after drying.
The length of these doom oyster shells is generally more than 1 meter. The shell meat is full and plump. At least 5 or 6 kilograms of shell meat can be obtained. A few larger shells can even weigh more than 10 kilograms.
After experiencing the food crisis, the girl, as the consul, paid special attention to saving food.
While others were working, Renault started a new round of salvage.
His efficiency is extremely high. The talents have just cleaned the first batch of shells, and Renault fished another 15 shells. Even Angela, Moose, and Ronald could not keep up with his fishing speed after joining the cleaning team.
After the doom oysters on the deck were piled more than 2 meters high, Renault had already caught more than 200 shells before he stopped fishing.
Because this sailing boat has a small load capacity, it will be loaded with black ice later, and there is no extra space for storing shellfish.
After the oyster shell of doom was cleaned up, together with the first magic stone, everyone found a total of 12 magic stones. The largest magic stone was close to the size of a fist, and the smallest magic stone was only 1/3 of a fist.
The production rate of magic stones exceeds 5%, which makes Renault quite satisfied.
His idea is correct, the doom oyster shells are extremely valuable for large-scale farming!
If you want to popularize magic machines on a large scale, you must have a stable source of magic stones. From this perspective, the doom oyster shell is of great significance.
For the aliens, this shellfish is a bad luck oyster shell, but in Renault's view, it is just a "good luck" oyster shell.
Who would have thought that it is just a kind of ordinary seafood on the table of the people of the earth, but in this world, it is a booster for the progress of human civilization?
In the magic technology system, the magic stone is the real energy source. With a large number of magic stones, Renault is completely confident to crush the black orcs.
Yes, crush!
In a sense, the doom oyster shell saved mankind!
However, Renault also needs to verify how high the probability of the doom oyster shell producing magic stones is, and use this as a basis to formulate the next plan and determine the scale of breeding.
As for the peculiar ability of the doom oyster shells, in the case of artificial breeding, there is no need to worry at all. Just place the doom oyster shells in a special container and hang them together with the container during harvest.
After leaving the sea, the doom oyster shells cannot create turbulence, and workers can safely gather magic stones.
In addition, shellfish meat is also a very good source of food, not only for human consumption, but also can be made into feed when surplus to breed other animals.
This also means that there are two more work items on the girl's memo.
The first is to find a way to salvage doom oyster shells.
Moreover, it is necessary to use industrialized methods to salvage wild doom oyster shells near the Tide Islands on a large scale like digging white sand razor clams. Only in this way can sufficient magic stone production be ensured.
This is a short-term solution to the supply of magic stones.
The girl had asked Ronald about this shellfish widespread in this sea area.
As long as the problem of ship power is solved, this matter is not difficult.
The second is the cultivation of doom oyster shells, which is quite challenging.
In this world, there are not many people who have eaten bad luck oyster shells, and no one breeds this thing.
Therefore, she first had to find a group of people to systematically study the living habits of doom oyster shells, understand their breeding methods, and then try small batch breeding.
After having enough experience, finally start large-scale industrial farming.
Therefore, this is destined to be a long-term project.
Then Renault used [Reverse Heat Conduction] to make a batch of ice cubes to preserve the shellfish, and the sailboat set off again.
In the next voyage, the sailing boat accidentally broke into a turbulent area, and the whole ship was turned upside down in an instant.
This kind of turbulence is also a unique ocean wonder in this world.
For some unknown reason, once it approaches or enters the stormy season, this phenomenon will appear randomly in the sea. Numerous irregular turbulences will erupt in a certain area. The strange thing is that the adjacent areas have no influence at all. .
The area of this kind of turbulence is not large, and the intensity of turbulence is not high. Large ships are generally not affected too much, but for small and medium-sized ships, once they encounter turbulence, the entire ship may capsize at any time.
The sailboat that Renault and others took was a small sailboat.
When the hull just began to shake, Renault immediately shot, and the ice began to climb up along the hull. In just a few seconds, the hull was covered with a layer of ice over 5 meters thick.
Immediately, the sailing boat also stabilized, and finally sailed away from the turbulent area.
After an hour, everyone finally arrived in Black Iceland.
