Ice Season: Day 32 at Sea 2

After changing into her gear, Yun Mianmian was about to go into the water when she received a message from Nie Yangguang.

"Mianmian! I'm up. What are we having for breakfast this morning?"

Oh no, she almost forgot that she still had to give Nie Yangguang some food.

There happened to be half a pot of green vegetable and lean meat porridge left, which Yun Mianmian had put in her backpack.

She gave it all to Nie Yangguang, and added a portion of cold wild vegetables for fear that he would not have enough.

She had made some cold wild bracken before, which she put in a jar. It was easy to preserve, and if she ate a little each time, she could eat it for a long time.

Thinking that she might not have time to care about Nie Yangguang later, Yun Mianmian gave him lunch and dinner meals at the same time.

They were a seafood stew with sashimi, and a fish head soup with lettuce.

Nie Yangguang was very happy: "Hehehe, it's all ready. There's so much food, can I share some with others?"

"You can do whatever you want." Yun Mianmian said and jumped into the sea.

-The

sea water was freezing, even colder than last time.

Yun Mianmian swam for a while before she got used to it, but as she dived deeper, the temperature gradually rose.

The water temperature on the surface of the sea is the lowest.

The deeper you go, the darker it is. Fortunately, Yun Mianmian wore a headlamp this time.

The light shining into the water allowed her to see the road ahead clearly.

This time she didn't have a spear gun in her hand, but just a net bag tied around her waist. If she saw some scallops or conchs that she could pick up, she would just go fishing.

The deep sea is different from the land. The deeper it is, the better it is. The deep sea is actually cold, dark, and high-pressure. The deeper you go, the greater the pressure. The deepest diving depth for normal humans is only 300 meters.

But in fact, the maximum depth of the seabed is unfathomable. Many are as deep as 5,000 meters, and there are even a few trenches with the deepest reaching 11 kilometers.

Yun Mianmian can only withstand about 100 meters.

Her body can't withstand such a great pressure.

In fact, diving to 40 meters already made her a little uncomfortable.

But such a deep sea also allowed her to see many marine creatures she had never seen before.

Colorful coral reefs are densely packed all over the seabed, with many worms and sponges on them.

Coral reefs are collectible materials. She only saw a little bit before, but found a large area here.

Coral reefs contain coal, aluminum, manganese, phosphate, and various rare mineral deposits.

Coral limestone can also be used as a raw material for burning lime and cement.

It can be used to build greenhouses.

Yun Mianmian swam over without thinking too much, intending to mine.

[Obtained coal × 5, coral limestone × 19]

After mining a little, she saw a large sea fish.

Sea turtles are very smart creatures. Yun Mianmian just wanted to go up and communicate with it. Although she can't speak, she can take out the tar distribution map to show it. Maybe it knows where it is.

But at this moment she found that there was a giant octopus under her feet.

She had never noticed it before because it could change the color of its body and blend into the surrounding environment. When Yun Mianmian's feet approached it, it moved a little, and Yun Mianmian discovered it.

Yun Mianmian was shocked and recognized at a glance that this was a giant octopus.

It looked terrifying, and its octopus expanded to become a cloak, and you could also see its beak and fangs.

It was not at the same level as the octopus I saw last time.

This octopus looked intelligent and aggressive.

Yun Mianmian quickly floated up, but was still grabbed by his tentacles.

Generally speaking, octopuses only eat fish and shrimp, but they will also attack sharks and even humans.

Yun Mianmian frowned, because once its tentacles touched her, they would quickly stick to her.

In an instant, Yun Mianmian had taken out a dagger from her backpack and directly cut off its tentacles. However, after it was cut, the injured tentacle was retracted, but the other tentacles all stretched out towards Yun Mianmian.

Yun Mianmian didn't have as many hands as this octopus, so both of her hands were caught by the octopus's tentacles.

She struggled for a while, but she couldn't use her full strength under the water, and could only barely cut one of the tentacles with the dagger, but this also completely angered the giant octopus.

Yun Mianmian wore the Sea Language Pearl and could hear the giant octopus roaring non-stop.

"Damn it, damn it! Go to hell."

The ink sprayed out, and the surrounding seawater was dyed black.

Yun Mianmian thought, there was no other way, so she had to take out the spider silk launcher, aiming at the octopus's head and shooting two spider silks.

One spider silk hit its eye.

The launcher was processed by Yun Mianmian, and some poisonous herb juice was added to it.

This poisonous herb has the effect of dizziness and paralysis, and it works quickly.

After the octopus was penetrated by the poisonous spider silk, it became more manic.

"Eat you! I want to eat you."

But soon, its strength weakened, and it was the poisonous herb that took effect.

Yun Mianmian finally broke free from the shackles. She put away the spider web shooter, changed her weapon, and used the bronze sword to poke the octopus's head.

But despite this, the octopus was still able to move.

Yun Mianmian had already used up all her strength and oxygen in her body.

She was a little exhausted. If she was stuck by this octopus, she might not be able to float up. The will to survive made her break through her own limits. She pulled out the bronze sword, aimed at the octopus's gills, and stabbed it.

This time, it finally softened, all its tentacles lost their strength, and let go of Yun Mianmian.

The octopus's body sank, and Yun Mianmian saw that there seemed to be something shiny and glowing inside its body.

Yun Mianmian wanted to get it, but right now, she needed oxygen and couldn't hold on any longer. She

didn't even have the strength to swim up.

If she went to get the octopus's body, she would surely die.

Yun Mianmian tried her best to swim upwards, but the huge pressure at the bottom of the sea seemed to be dragging her down by an invisible hand.

Yun Mianmian could not swim any more.

Was she so unlucky today?

She had finally come this far, and she must not die in the sea like this.

At this time, the sea turtle she had just seen swam over.

Yun Mianmian looked into the sea turtle's eyes.

Its eyes were large and sensitive, emitting a friendly light. Yun Mianmian looked at it pleadingly. Although she could not speak, Yun Mianmian made an upward gesture, meaning to go up.

"Come up."

She understood the sea turtle's voice.

Yun Mianmian lay on the sea turtle's shell.

The turtle swam very fast. Yun Mianmian closed her eyes drowsily. It seemed that only a few minutes had passed before she was awakened by the cold water. The turtle patted her face with its forelimbs, and when it saw her open her eyes, it left.

Yun Mianmian was shivering from the cold. She had no strength left, but she still swam desperately towards the "Xiangyun" and finally grabbed the rope on the boat.

Her whole body was frozen and her hands were almost out of control.

Finally, Yun Mianmian climbed up and lay on the deck, gasping for breath.

Her physical and mental strength had reached the critical point, with only five points left.

It seemed that she might die in just a few more minutes.

Yun Mianmian took a deep gulp of oxygen before changing out of her wet diving suit. She

looked at the time and realized that so many things had happened in just over twenty minutes.

Yun Mianmian felt as if she had survived a disaster.

She rested in the bedroom and ate a piece of grilled bear meat.

She chose to eat grilled bear meat because she wanted to increase her strength in a short period of time and restore her physical and mental strength.

She was going to go into the water again.

She saw something shiny in the body of the octopus just now. And she was definitely not mistaken.

Yun Mianmian was going to get it.

Her intuition told her that it must be a good thing, and such a big octopus would have a lot of meat.

Besides, she had only mined a little bit of the mineral resources in the coral reef. Since she had to go into the water anyway, she might as well go and get that treasure back.

After quietly waiting for her status to recharge, Yun Mianmian stood by the boat and jumped into the sea again.

-

She remembered the place just now and found it quickly.

The octopus's body sank deeper.

Yun Mianmian had to sink a little deeper to get it.

She gritted her teeth and went down, and sure enough, she saw something glowing inside the body.

Yun Mianmian grabbed the octopus's body and put it in her backpack first.

The reddish-brown octopus meat was broken down into thirty parts, and in addition, there were two ice marrows.

Yun Mianmian was very surprised.

The ice marrow needed to upgrade the ship was found here.

Although there were only two, she finally had a direction.

She returned to the coral reef and continued to mine minerals.

[Obtained phosphate ore × 1]

[Obtained coral limestone × 13]

[Obtained coal × 2]

...

She went up every twenty minutes to breathe oxygen and eat to replenish her energy.

She went back and forth like this, up and down, for more than ten times.

She collected hundreds of supplies.

She finally stopped.

It was already dark by then, and the sea was pitch black. Although she had a headlamp and could see clearly, the darkness brought an invisible sense of oppression, making it impossible for people to stay in the deep sea forever.

Yun Mianmian's body was about to be overdrawn.

Although she would eat replenishing food every time, it was too many times and her energy value was difficult to recover later.

The effect of food also became smaller.

It doesn't mean that if you keep eating, it will always have the same effect.

If it is used more than ten times, the effect will be reduced by half, and it will be just ordinary food in the end.

She was about to go ashore and return to the boat to rest

. At this moment, she saw a turtle swimming behind her.

This time, Yun Mianmian seized the opportunity.

She quickly approached, greeted the turtle first, then took out the tar distribution map and pointed to the U-shaped island.

The turtle hesitated and looked at her.

"This island should be nearby."

Yun Mianmian gestured to tell the turtle that she had looked everywhere but couldn't find it.

"Because the island is flooded, you have to go to the sea to find it."

The turtle left after saying that, it was in a hurry to catch up.

Yun Mianmian wanted to ask more, but she couldn't catch up with the speed of the turtle.

Forget it, I have already got useful information, so I will go up first.

Although it is so hard, Yun Mianmian still thinks it is worth it.

She got a lot of good stuff.

The calorific value of coal is much higher than that of firewood. When the same mass of coal and firewood are completely burned, the heat released by coal is greater than that of firewood, and the temperature can even reach more than a thousand degrees, while firewood can only reach a few hundred degrees and less than a thousand.

Before finding the energy stone, coal can be used for temporary heating.

There is also coral limestone, which can be used to make lime and cement.

Lime is used to make glass, while cement has more uses. It can be used to build various walls and partitions. In addition to making fireplaces, it can also be used to make greenhouses.

Yun Mianmian has found a treasure. She has to go into the water more often before the sea surface is completely frozen.

It's too late today, and her body is not good anymore. She has to continue tomorrow.

It's a pity that the tar has not been found yet.

It would be great if I could meet the sea turtle again.

There is no chance to ask it questions today.

Staying in the water for too long.

Yun Mianmian's body has been soaked and her skin is wrinkled, especially her fingers, which are white and wrinkled, looking a bit ugly.

Yun Mianmian didn't care too much. Seeing that there was still time, she would fish for the treasure chest first.

Thinking carefully, it was not so bad after all. Although she encountered danger, at least she turned the danger into safety. She survived and collected a lot of supplies.

I don't know if the treasure chest will give her a surprise.

She fished for the treasure chest while checking the chat channel.

Maybe she is more sensitive to the word "cooking", so she happened to see someone say:

"My sister got a cooking skill book!"

"Awesome, with the cooking skill, will she be able to make the same food as Yun Mianmian, with a bonus effect?"

"Cooking skill books have appeared before, but the effects are average. Only special foods can have bonuses."

"Yeah, where can we get so much high-quality food? Unprocessed food is rare."

"I have cooking skills. I killed a mackerel before, and a piece of high-quality mackerel meat exploded. Using that will have a bonus effect, but using ordinary mackerel will not have the same effect." "

Could it be that Yun Mianmian uses only high-quality ingredients? That's amazing."

Yun Mianmian thought about it and realized that she did not use all high-quality ingredients to make food, but used all kinds of ingredients, but they all had bonus effects.

At first, she did think that it was a skill that came with the cooking skill, but now it seems that not everyone with cooking skills can do so.

As for what conditions are required, Yun Mianmian herself is not clear.

Now more and more people have skill books, and skill books have appeared in the trading center several times, but Yun Mianmian has not participated in the auction.

She thinks she knows enough and is too busy to handle it, and she doesn't want to do everything.

There is no need to be an all-rounder. For example, forging is complicated and troublesome, and it consumes physical strength and energy. She doesn't like it.

In fact, as long as one or two skills can be upgraded to advanced levels, it will be amazing.

If there is no particularly good opportunity, from beginner to advanced, you must spend a lot of time and money to study and upgrade in this area.

For example, Rong Yu, in order to upgrade forging, has to use a lot of good things to exchange for forging-related materials.

I guess he doesn't use his other skill much.

Just thinking about it, the treasure chest was hooked.

Yun Mianmian pulled it up and took a look.

It was a golden treasure chest.

It seems that I haven't caught a golden treasure chest for a long time. Yun Mianmian was very happy.

[Obtained: hot water bag × 1, thermos × 1, gathering skill book × 1, "Wine Brewing Encyclopedia" × 1, military coat × 1, honey × 2]

The things in the golden treasure chest are really good.

These things are all on sale in the mall, and they are very expensive.

Yun Mianmian saw a similar book like this "Wine Brewing Encyclopedia" last night, and it was sold for more than 100 Starfish Coins.

Now I can save money directly.

It's just that the gathering skill book overlaps with her skills, so she can exchange it for other things.

The hot water bottle can be used to sleep tonight. It must be more comfortable to sleep with a warm hot water bottle in such a cold day.

The 2L capacity thermos is enough for her to drink alone. She

only had a small thermos before, which was inconvenient to use. She always had to boil water and add water.

The military coat didn't look very beautiful, but it was okay to wear. It just couldn't compare with her polar cold-proof equipment, so she kept it for backup.

Honey can be used to make tea or desserts.

In short, Yun Mianmian was very satisfied with this box.

She wanted to see if she could catch a good treasure chest in the next box.

But a long time passed, and no second treasure chest appeared. Yun Mianmian didn't plan to sit and waste time. She prepared to make an automatic fishing rod, fixed it there, put a bell on it, and when there was movement, the bell would ring, and she would quickly pull it up.

The bell that she thought was useless before finally came in handy.

Yun Mianmian couldn't help but think that it would be good to keep more things in the future, maybe they would be useful.

There are many things that can be made with the advanced workbench. Since she had the advanced workbench, Yun Mianmian has been tinkering with some small inventions whenever she has nothing to do. They are simple and easy to make.

She even thought about making a generator.

Wind turbines can be made on such a cold day, but they are easy to freeze if the weather is too cold, and she can't design it herself. After all, she is not a professional in this field and has never known about it before. She must have drawings.

The trading center has never seen similar drawings.

First, make the automatic fishing rod holder. Yun Mianmian tried it and it was not bad and could be used.

Her design was very sloppy, so the workbench was a bit rough, but the aesthetics are not important, as long as it can be used.

After putting it away, Yun Mianmian went to harvest the vegetables and check on the chickens.

When she arrived at the vegetable field, she was shocked to find that all the vegetables on the ground were wilted and frozen to death, and only the plants on the rare land were still alive.

Only one day has passed.

It looked okay in the morning, but now it has become like this.

Yun Mianmian checked in the morning. The vegetables were not fully grown yet. She wanted to let them stay in the soil for a while longer, but they were frozen to death.

It seems that the greenhouse must be built immediately.

Yun Mianmian sighed and dug out all the frozen vegetables. Many fruits died before they grew out.

Yun Mianmian was heartbroken.

They were all obtained by her in exchange for supplies.

Especially this pineapple, which had just grown a little bit.

Yun Mianmian sighed.

After the vegetables were frozen, the nutrients were severely lost: the vegetable tissue was also damaged, and the taste was greatly reduced. Yun Mianmian planned to keep them to feed the chickens and rabbits, but she could not eat them herself.

After digging it out, she put it all in a basket and put it aside. The next step was to measure it. She couldn't make the entire first floor of the ship into a greenhouse, so she could only make a small greenhouse first.

To build a greenhouse, you need to build a foundation first.

The workload is very large.

Some are busy!
