Chapter 1009 Black Ice
About an hour later, the two ships finally stopped. The abandoned ships that were previously crowded were no longer visible in this place. The sea surface was wafty and faintly in front of it, as if there was an island or a sea platform.
Gentian pointed at the distance not far, which seemed to be the direction of the island or platform: "Why are we not stopping there?"
A Kai looked at him and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice, no matter it's in the dark sea or some other place. When you're on the sea, don't stop at these places casually, don't think that land is safe. Sometimes, land is more dangerous than sea."
Gentian shrugged his shoulders and smiled and did not respond.
Akai picked up the communication machine and contacted the ship opposite: "You can move here for two hours, and after two hours, we will have to return."
Tang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Can't we stay for a longer time? It took two hours, and time was a little tight."
"This time the research has not been completed, so I can come back again next time. But if I throw my life here, there will be no chance." After saying that, A Kai put down the communication machine.
A moment later, Tang Yu's slightly helpless voice sounded from the communication machine: "Okay, listen to you."
Next, there will be basically nothing to do with Tianyang and the other three.
They simply went to the deck to have a breath. The place where A Kai brought them was on the edge of the dark sea. As long as they did not take the initiative to provoke the black people in the sea, they would not have to worry about being attacked.
The boat opposite the "Fishman Association" kept a safe distance, and they were busy again on the deck. Tianyang sat on the side of the boat, watching them fiddling with various instruments curiously.
After a while, he saw A Kai smoking a cigarette on the other side of the deck, patted his butt, and Tianyang stood up and walked over.
"You probably didn't take us out of the sea because of that box of gold bars."
Tianyang came not far away from him, leaned on the boat, and said in a relaxed tone.
A Kai glanced at him and continued to smoke. After a moment, he said, "My wife is sick, and... very ill."
"When I got married to her, I was keen on exploring and taking risks. Even if I had a daughter with her, my love for the world of rebellion was still reduced. Therefore, I often neglected her, and even if she was seriously ill, she could not be taken care of by my side."
"I owe her a lot, so when she asked to leave, I didn't try to keep it, but just cashed in all the valuable things, and then bought a house for her and her daughter in the North District to live in."
A Kai looked at the sea and said, "I haven't contacted her for several years. It's good, so she can probably forget me and live well. But on the day you came to me, my daughter then found me."
"She said her mother was sick, so we rushed to the hospital, and the doctor said it would cost a lot of money to cure it. So I found you, and someone called the 'Meatman Association'. They also invited them as guides before, but I didn't agree."
Tianyang was a little surprised. He couldn't see that a very silent person like A Kai was very concerned about his wife. Even if he had separated, he immediately started raising money when he heard something happened to her.
"So, is there enough money?"
A Kai nodded and showed a rare smile: "Enough."
"That's good. If it's not enough, tell me, I'm still a little bit." Tianyang smiled.
At this time, Longdan came over, took a navigation chart, spread it out in front of Akai and said, "Please help me see, do you know how to get to this place?"
Gentian pointed at a corner of the chart, Tianyang looked upwards, and felt that the chart was so drawn... it was hard to describe in one word.
A Kai glanced at the thing, then looked at the Gentian again: "Do you call this a nautical chart?"
Gentian said awkwardly: "Although the drawing is not detailed enough, you can still see the direction."
A Kai sneered: "You know that you are not meticulous enough, so do you know that sometimes just a little bit of in and out is enough to make people die at sea?"
"If you want to take risks with this chart, I advise you to give up, or find a rope to hang yourself up and die quickly."
Gentian pointed at him and said, "Why are you doing this? This is too shocking."
"I said, A Kai, you've gone to sea every day. Do you want to make more money?"
Gentian blinked and said, "I have something that records somewhere on the sea. Otherwise, you can help me see it and draw an accurate navigation chart for me. I will not treat you badly."
"If you are willing to send us over, then I will give you another sum of money, how about it?"
A Kai didn't say anything, and after smoking the cigarette, he said, "Let's take a look."
"Come with me." Longdan said excitedly, taking Akai back to the control room.
Tianyang said in surprise: "Will he bring that 'key' with him?"
Yueguang laughed: "How could he do it? He got the gem down. We have tried it. Just pour energy into the gem into it and activate some images stored in it."
"That guy Gentian, carry the gems on his body."
Tianyang was relieved.
At this time, he heard a slight sound from the side of the ship, as if something had touched the hull. Tianyang leaned out to look and saw that it turned out to be a piece of ice.
A piece of black ice floated on the sea surface and was sent here by the sea water, gently hitting the hull.
"Strange, there is obviously volcanic activity under the sea outside. Why is there ice here?" Although Tianyang was curious, he didn't find out, so he took a look at the black ice and sat down.
The black ice on the sea was soon discovered on the 'Fishman Association'. They used instruments to catch a piece of it.
A researcher in protective suit carefully used a clip to hold the black ice layer, put it in a container, and then took it into the cabin.
The 'Fishman Association' ship has a small laboratory in the cabin that can do some simple tests.
The researchers put the container contained in black ice into a holographic scanner, then took out an electronic board, controlled the scanner to start working. The scanner emitted light and swept up and down to obtain some basic data.
The data were presented on the researcher's electronic board screen. At first, he didn't feel anything abnormal. But in the end, some information sent by the scanner were some cellular tissues in the ice layer.
"There are actually cellular tissues?"
The researchers put down the electronic board, opened an instrument, first took out the black ice from the container, then cut the next part, and then placed it on the observer.
With the help of electronic observers, researchers found that there were indeed cellular tissues in the black ice, but these tissues were changing. They lost the characteristics of the cell in just a few seconds. Judging from the arrangement of molecular structures, they actually transformed from cellular tissues into frost!
“This is impossible.”
The researchers were startled. Even if the temperature is low, the cell tissue will not change in nature even if it is frozen.
But now, a piece of cellular tissue is in front of him, and seems to be affected by some force and assimilated with the ice.
They become part of the ice layer and part of the ice layer.
If so, would this black ice, at the beginning, not the ice layer, but the muscle tissue peeled from some creature?
This idea made the researchers' backs chill. What kind of power is it that will transform the creature into black ice?
The researchers did not notice that some changes were happening in the laboratory at this moment.
On a table next to it, there are subtle black crystals in a cup of water that are difficult to detect with naked eyes.
Aside from a test tube, black crystals also quietly appeared on the bottom of the light yellow reagent.
Even a few drops of water fell quietly turned into black frost on the researchers' biochemical suits and attached to the biochemical suits.
Before the researchers could find these abnormalities, he heard a burst of exclamations outside the cabin, and quickly entered the things in his hand and walked out of the laboratory.
And the black ice exposed to the air, at this time, its margins were gradually expanding. The air in the laboratory gradually became dry, and the moisture in the air mysteriously disappeared...
On the deck, Tianyang, who was in a daze, heard the ship opposite exclaiming, and couldn't help but turn around and look over. They seemed to have salvaged something from under the ship and placed it on the deck.
Even their team leader Tang Yu was alarmed and hurriedly ran over. Although Tianyang was curious, he did not lose his etiquette. Finally, Zeng crossed the boat to see what was going on.
I saw several researchers there gathered in a circle, not knowing what they were studying, and they were all amazed.
Tianyang only heard the words "ice layer" and "corpse". It was like they salvaged a larger piece of black ice from under the boat, and a corpse occurred inside.
But even if the body is found in the ice layer, you don’t have to be so surprised.
In the control room, Gendan and Akai walked out. Gendan smiled and kept giving thumbs up at Akai. It seemed that Akai had already drawn the chart, otherwise Gendan would not be so happy.
After the two walked onto the deck, they also found an abnormality on the ship opposite. Gentian was not as reserved as Tianyang. He walked to the side of the ship, pulled his throat and shouted: "What have you discovered? Can you say it so that we can also open our eyes?"
Tang Yu squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the side of the boat, looking confused, as if he had seen something incredible: "We salvaged a piece of ice that floated from a distance and found the corpse of some kind of creature inside."
Gentian grinned: "What did I think it was? What's so strange about the corpses of creatures frozen in the ice?"
Tang Yu frowned, as if looking for suitable words to explain: "If it's just like this, it's certainly not unusual. Strangely, the corpse in the ice is gradually disappearing..."
Hearing this sentence, A Kai's face changed, he rushed to the side of the boat and looked down. With the light, he could see that a lot of black ice had accumulated near the hull.
