Time passed second by second, and this incubation process came to a complete end.
A total of 42 chicks hatched this time, but the remaining 8 failed completely.
Jiang An opened the lid and carefully placed the chicks one by one into the breeding cage.
They filled the feeding troughs and water tanks with water and food.
The eight unhatched eggs were stored in the storage ring, and then 50 fertilized eggs were taken out and placed in the incubator, which was plugged in to continue incubating.
Jiang An discovered that it was more cost-effective to hatch the eggs into chicks and eat the eggs and chicken meat.
However, she still has too few hens, and it's uncertain how big this batch will grow.
After being upgraded to level 6, the usable area on the ship increased, and the same was true for the lower decks. This breeding deck doubled in size, and the chicken coop also doubled in size.
We can expand our chicken farming operations again!
So she decided to keep all 42 chicks.
She succeeded in raising chicks by accident the first time, and none of them died. But she wasn't so lucky every time, so she continued to hatch chicks.
The chicks were especially energetic after eating, chirping incessantly.
The little turtle was seeing this creature for the first time in its life, and it was very curious about it. It kept lying on the edge of its enclosure, watching it intently.
"Alright, little turtle, stop looking! Let's get to work!"
Upon hearing this, the little turtle reluctantly shifted its gaze away from the chick.
He and Jiang An usually had a great understanding, and upon hearing this, they immediately understood—it was time to go on an underwater adventure again!
It wagged its small, delicate tail happily, seemingly unable to contain its excitement.
After all, exploring the ocean is its favorite thing, far more so than its love for chicks.
On the vast, boundless deck, Jiang An looked up at the sky.
The sky remained as gloomy and gray as ever, without a trace of sunlight, clearly indicating that the solar panels were not generating electricity properly today.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Just then, the little turtle leaped off the deck first and landed lightly on the icy, bone-chilling ice.
With firm steps, it walked straight toward the bow of the ship, then swung its hard claws and smashed the thick layer of ice beneath its feet.
With a crisp "crack," the crystal-clear ice shattered and flew away, finally revealing the deep blue seawater hidden within.
At the same time, Jiang An, who was standing on the deck, took out an exquisite automatic fishing rod from his backpack.
Although each harvest may be insignificant, as the saying goes, many small things add up. Even if it's just three stone boxes of harvest a day, she will never let it go easily.
After placing it properly, Jiang An jumped into the vast sea without hesitation.
In an instant, the high-grade water-repelling bead hanging around her neck emitted a dazzling light and took effect immediately.
This was Jiang An's first deep-sea exploration since obtaining the advanced water-repelling pearl. Moreover, since today's voyage mission had been successfully completed, she had almost a whole day to explore the mysterious underwater world.
There is no need to worry about the time-limited effectiveness of water-repellent beads anymore.
After the man and the turtle worked together to defeat the giant sea creatures they encountered on their journey, they continued their journey into the deep sea.
Just then, the perceptive Jiang An seemed to notice something amiss.
What exactly was it? It turned out to be an extremely large structure... It was too far away, separated by layers of seawater, and Jiang An couldn't see what it was at all.
"Little turtle, let's change direction and swim to the right to see what that is." Jiang Anxin thought to himself and conveyed his idea to the little turtle through the mental connection.
"Okay, Mom!" The clever little turtle reacted quickly to her command and immediately adjusted its course.
As the distance closed, Jiang An finally saw the true face of the mysterious object—it was an enormous ship.
Its size is so large that it even far exceeds the existing Class 6 steamships in Jiang'an.
Before long, the man and the turtle arrived in front of the enormous creature that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, Jiang An realized that the ship had been sleeping in this deep sea for countless years. The ship's hull was covered with thick moss and lush seaweed, and the once sturdy hull had been corroded and mottled.
Surprisingly, a group of colorful, tiny fish and shrimp darted and frolicked among them, seemingly carefree and content.
Seeing this, Jiang An felt somewhat relieved, knowing that the ship posed no potential threat.
At the same time, a question arose in her mind: Why did this ship sink here? Where did it come from? Who did it belong to, a player? Or...? All sorts of mysteries lingered in Jiang An's mind, making her even more eager to find out the truth.
At this moment, Jiang An had a bellyful of questions, but no one was there to tell her the answers, so she could only wait to discover them herself.
Slowly reaching out, I gently touched the screen that was shimmering with a faint light. With a soft "beep," the screen was instantly activated.
She skillfully maneuvered the camera, aiming it at the ancient and mysterious ship before her.
I took many photos of every detail, from bow to stern.
Filled with curiosity and doubt, she held the little turtle tightly in her hand and stepped into the boat.
She secretly hoped that perhaps in this unknown territory, there were amazing treasures waiting for her to discover.
Crossing the wide deck, we stepped into the slightly dimly lit cabin passageway.
Before long, the first cabin came into view.
The hatch was slightly ajar, as if silently telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.
The door is covered in rust and green moss, resembling a painting by nature.
Jiang An took a deep breath and gently pushed the hatch.
With a piercing creak, the hatch, which had carried countless memories and served its duty faithfully for so long, finally completed its mission and was officially decommissioned.
Stepping into the cabin, a musty smell hits you.
However, to her surprise, it turned out to be a bedroom.
In the center of the room stood an enormous bed, beside which stood an exquisite dressing table.
Several small and exquisite items were neatly arranged on the table, one of which was particularly eye-catching.
Jiang An's heart stirred, and she walked straight forward, reaching out to pick up the palm-sized item.
Upon closer inspection, she couldn't help but widen her eyes—it was exactly the same water tank she had obtained when she opened the box before!
However, the water tank in my hand looks unusually old, as if it has been through a long period of time, making it difficult to tell whether it can still be used normally.
After quickly glancing at the items on the dressing table, she put them directly into her storage ring.
There isn't much time to check if it works right now; anyway, she has enough storage space, so she can check it when she gets back to her steamship.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang An opened the drawer on the dressing table.
Unfortunately, the items inside had already been corroded and rotten by the seawater, and were no longer worth recycling.
Keep searching; you're bound to find something that still works.
Suddenly, Jiang An found a sealed box in a cabinet.
After checking several times to make sure there was no water inside, she put it directly into her storage ring.
