"(Diàn)!" A row of ancient men wearing neatly leather armor greeted respectfully.

Ren Baqian nodded with a smile, then looked at the short and strong young man at the front of the team, as if he had remembered something, with some reverie in his eyes.

He asked with a smile: "One Piece?"

"Master of the Mansion!" The young man smiled embarrassedly.

This young man is Chao Zhong, the freshman who almost dropped out of school after watching "One Piece".

"More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye!" Ren Baqian sighed a little, as if he could still vaguely see the young man standing in front of him and talking about the scene of his intention to drop out of school.

Although his great ideal of dropping out of school and becoming One Piece did not succeed, he planted a seed in his heart.

Now that seed has finally taken root and sprouted.

After learning that the court was going to build steel ships and explore the seas, he volunteered to join them.

"Let me introduce it." Ren Baqian said.

"yes."

"This is Zhenbo, and there is Zhenbo, which is 142 meters long and 12 meters wide, with a displacement of 3380 tons, a full load displacement of 3760 tons, a speed of 19 knots... a crew of 122 people... a maximum speed is 19 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and a range of 30 days..."

While listening to Chao Zhong's words, Ren Baqian approached and reached out to touch the steel armor shell of Zhenbo. The touch was cold and had a little fishy smell.

I got on the boat along the gangway and suddenly became wide open.

The blue ocean extends to the end of the sight and gradually turns black.

"How much do you understand the troposphere now?" Ren Baqian asked in the distance. The troposphere is the sharp blade in the ocean of this world, and it is also a barrier to the ocean of this world, blocking humans' footsteps and firmly limiting humans to land.

The troposphere generally appears several kilometers to tens of thousands of meters away from the coast, and there is no trace of it from the outside. However, the sea is several meters below the sea surface, it is filled with countless chaos and surging undercurrents, as if countless hands are tearing, and the ships can hardly escape when they enter the range of the troposphere.

Even a steamboat with steel shells can hardly escape if it is trapped in it.

Not to mention the countless strange marine creatures in the troposphere, they are also a huge danger to ships.

"The research institute of the observation station once placed observation devices several times under the water. Although it soon lost news under the strange water surface, it was not without any discovery."

"I don't know what the undercurrent in the troposphere contains, but it actually has a little impact on the signal. Moreover, the undercurrent is very fast, and in a short time the observation device will be rolled to a place where the signal cannot reach.

Below the ocean, something seems to be affecting the water flow. We have found many vortexes under the water, which is an important reason for the undercurrent...

The ocean is very deep, and there seems to be a huge crack under the water ten thousand meters away, as if it is cut open by a sharp axe..."

"It is not known at present that the range of the troposphere is the detection range on the sea surface has exceeded 300 kilometers, and it has not yet broken through the troposphere... Moreover, there are also surging undercurrents in the air above the ocean, and some extreme weather often occur... The drones that the observation station explored towards the external area several times were destroyed 300 kilometers away."

Ren Baqian had already learned most of the situation before, but he still had to listen to Chao Zhong's introduction.

"Driving the boat, let's take a look, and let me see your level." Ren Baqiandao.

"Yes!" Chao Zhong ordered everyone to prepare with a proud look.

"Have you learned to swim?" Ren Baqian asked suddenly with a smile.

Chao Zhongbiao froze and then said embarrassedly: "I have suffered a lot in order to learn to swim."

Most of the ancient tribes were landslides, and they were of the same weight (sexuality), and they were sinking to the bottom when they went into the water.

It would be fine if it was close to the coast, and it could be stable and walked out directly under the water, otherwise it would be a dead end.

This group of naval pioneers suffered a lot from this, and I don’t know how much sea water they drank.

Not long after, the Zhenbo Honkong honked the whistle.

"It actually moved!"

"Tsk tsk, you can do it without sails or oars!"

"Do it's all up to it..."

Many onlookers who were watching the freshness on the shore showed surprise when they saw the iron-armored ships that had been parked for several days suddenly started.

The ship did not drive too far, but it was more than nine kilometers away, and you could still see the shore when you turned around, so the ship stopped.

At this time, the ocean had already appeared in a dark blue color, and when it was moving forward, the ocean had turned black.

"(Diàn), there is the troposphere ahead."

Ren Baqian nodded and stared at the sea surface in front of him. Apart from the change in color, he could not see much difference. Although there were waves on the sea surface, it seemed relatively calm.

"Delivery markers." Ren Baqian ordered.

"Prepare to release the marker." Chao Zhong shouted immediately.

After a while, a red wooden ball was dropped into the distance, with a diameter of two meters. The wood is very dense and it just happened to fall below the water after being thrown into the water.

Soon, Ren Baqian saw that the sea seemed to be angry. Although there was no big change on the surface, the wooden balls under the water began to move rapidly and irregularly under the water at high speed.

This is the impact of undercurrents under the water.

But for a moment, the wooden ball suddenly shattered as if it was concentrated by a heavy hammer, turning into countless wooden blocks and continuing to float in the water.

This is the power of undercurrents, which can even deform steel under countless undercurrents.

A huge wave suddenly emerged from the sea, and a "big" of behemoth suddenly poked out of the water.

It looks like an octopus' tentacle, which stretches out from the water at a height of more than 30 meters, twists and swings on the water surface, and there is a huge mouth full of sharp teeth at the upper end.

"This kind of "one piece of wood" is everywhere under the water." Chao Zhong said. "I am not particularly strong in my own strength, but there are too many."

This is not a tentacle of the giant monster, but this is what the original body looks like.

After saying that, he picked up a bow from the side, bent his bow and put an arrow on it, and an arrow pierced the air and pierced into the shaking hand, and a big hole suddenly appeared.

Blue blood sprayed everywhere.

The sea suddenly churned, and the tentacle slapped around frantically.

Even a big hole is not fatal to this kind of creature.

Moreover, compared with its size under the water, the size of the water surface is like a huge monster, which accounts for only one-third.

"Yi Chuan?" Ren Baqian turned his head in confusion. This name made people feel awkward no matter how you hear it.

"Hey, this is what we call it privately. The people at the observation station call them strange leeches." Chao Zhong laughed.

"There are so many things like this under the water?"

“Many, everywhere.”

"For such a body size, you need a lot of food, right? Do they have so much food?"

"There are more marine biota under the water than I imagined, especially those undercurrents, which, although surging, have also brought a large number of fish from afar."

"How come this thing is not torn apart by undercurrents under the water?"

Ren Baqian listened to Chao Zhong's answer and nodded from time to time.

Looking into the distance, he sighed in his heart: It seems that there is a long way to go to solve the puzzle and the ocean.

But this time is not the most important thing. The most important thing at the moment is to find a route along the coastline.

As for whether the goal can be achieved, no one knows now.
