Chapter 77 News of the Mechanical Relics

It should be noted that the assistant bee hive in Chen Qing's possession was a heavily damaged version, and there were only a few assistant bees inside.

Even under these conditions, the honeycomb of the assistant bee can still achieve a light purple quality.

If it is the complete version of the honeycomb, can Chen Qing assume that it is of A-grade red quality?

The A-grade red-quality Assistant Beehive is in the possession of Granny Peach, a former pirate from Sapphire Island.

The massive sea defense structure, also of A-grade red quality, fell into the hands of the island lord of Sapphire Island.

The deep blue sea is generally not associated with items of red quality.

Throughout the history of the deep blue sea, this has never happened before!

Even many forces in the Crimson Sea would covet an existence of this caliber!

Chen Qing let his thoughts wander, wondering if there was any connection between the two.

If there is a connection between the two, does that mean there is a... mechanical ruin in the deep blue sea?

When this idea came to mind, Chen Qing was astonished.

Mechanical ruins...

If they are mechanical relics, then are the old-fashioned mechanical artifacts in Granny Peach's recycling plant also...?

Is this related to the treasure Haichunmingjian that Granny Peach mentioned?

The Treasure Sea can be considered the base camp of mechanics, and hidden in the mechanics' base camp is a mechanical ruin.

This discovery is truly laughable.

Is this what they call "the darkest place is under the lamp"?

However, Chen Qing wasn't too optimistic about this possibility; those mechanics weren't stupid.

Even if the mechanics are stupid, are the pirates who roam the Treasure Sea stupid?

For the legendary treasure buried deep within the Treasure Sea, they have turned the Treasure Sea upside down countless times.

Rather than the mechanics of the Treasure Sea being unaware of the existence of this ruin, Chen Qing is more inclined to believe that they know of its existence but do not know how to enter it.

Granny Peach and her pirate crew were completely unknown in the Deep Blue Sea, and their strength was insufficient to allow them to enter the ruins before the mechanics of the Treasure Sea.

Similarly, Sapphire Island also lacks that capability.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, disassembling the super-powered vines to examine them while pondering the key to their intricacies.

Combined with what Grandma Peach said to her before she left...

Under certain specific conditions, that mechanical relic will open another entrance to the relic.

Or, under these specific conditions, something inside the ruins might flow out.

The adventure team from Sapphire Island received blueprints, while Granny Peach and her pirate crew received a damaged beehive.

Chen Qing was more inclined to believe the latter possibility, because if the gate to the ruins were opened, Sapphire Island would definitely obtain more than just a blueprint.

To confirm her guess, Chen Qing only needs to obtain the Sapphire Island Adventure Chronicle and find out the details of Granny Peach's pirate crew's journey to the Treasure Sea.

Moreover, once this matter is clarified, Chen Qing can deduce the exact conditions under which the treasure emerged from the ruins by combining the two situations.

However, neither the former nor the latter is easy to obtain.

Sapphire Island will definitely keep this a closely guarded secret. Even if they reveal the existence of the fortifications, they won't disclose this windfall.

Granny Peach's nameless pirate crew was even harder to find out about, as countless pirate crews of all sizes had come and gone from the Treasure Sea over the years.

After resealing the super-powered vine, Chen Qing replaced all the internal parts.

Although this task is difficult, it is not impossible to complete.

A change of perspective can bring sudden clarity.

First, Grandma Peach and her group obtained the assistant bee's nest at a roughly certain time and place.

By working backward from this time and location, Chen Qing could consult local logs and obtain more accurate data.

If we can't get information from Sapphire Island, we can start with the Treasure Sea.

Adventure groups and exploration groups are definitely recorded, whether officially or unofficially.

The initial preparation for such a defensive fortification would take at least three to five years, or even ten years, unless Sapphire Island has other allies.

By going back along this timeline, Chen Qing could unravel the mystery with just the slightest clue.

By finding similarities amidst differences, we can certainly analyze the general situation from the data.

Chen Qing, who was weeding and fertilizing the planting area, quickly finalized her next plan.

After the Gemstone Hurricane ends, we'll set off for the Treasure Sea, and we can also visit Gao Yue and the others along the way.

Is the treasure of the Treasure Sea actually a mechanical ruin?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense.

If it weren't for the mechanical ruins that produce a constant stream of mechanical-related resources, the Treasure Sea wouldn't have become the base for mechanics.

It was also because of the rumors of this treasure that the mechanics of the Treasure Sea were able to thrive.

It's about salvaging treasure.

Ordinary pirates, unlike the great pirates, do not possess formidable physiques; they inevitably rely on external forces.

The vigorous development of the Treasure Sea Mechanics and the large-scale supply of metal machinery are what allow the ruins to continue to remain "active".

This can be seen from the beehive that Chen Qing obtained.

In a sense, that mechanical relic should be considered "alive".

The mechanics and mechanical relics of the Treasure Sea complement each other.

In this way... Chen Qing suddenly stopped what he was doing—fertilizing.

The plants in the planting area have entered their growth period, and Chen Qing discovered several special extraordinary plants among them.

But that's not important right now.

An idea suddenly popped into Chen Qing's mind.

Are the mechanics of the Treasure Sea unable to open the ruins, or do they simply not want to open them?

Everything is still unknown.

Chen Qing's lips curled up slightly, feeling that the Treasure Sea should be very interesting.

She was already quite eager to go to the Treasure Sea.

The second most popular professions in Gemstone Sea are gem craftsman, gem designer, gem enchanter, and all other gem-related professions.

With countless islands and seas, the most popular professions are undoubtedly pirates and hunters.

Before heading to the Treasure Sea, Chen Qing needs to make sure he can survive the Gemstorm.

She must prepare for the worst.

For example, the entire Sapphire Island was destroyed, and ships were abandoned.

Of course, this is the second worst possibility. Chen Qing doesn't want Sapphire Island to be destroyed like this, as she has just paid the deposit for the ship.

Based on this situation, the assistant bees in the mechanical work area are working hard to manufacture super shield whales.

No matter what the situation, Chen Qing had to do everything he could before he could feel at ease.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

This is also one of Chen Qing's life principles.
