Chapter 175 Treasure Sea, Rusty Island
At the boundary between the Treasure Sea and the Elemental Sea, the colors of the water on both sides are distinct.
The water in the Elemental Sea is clear and transparent, while the water in the Treasure Sea is a deeper color.
Of course, neither side of the seawater is polluted; the difference is simply due to the geographical and environmental factors.
During the elemental burst period in the Elemental Sea, the seawater will change color according to the elemental properties.
At this moment, at the confluence of the two seas, a huge mechanical ship sailed from the Sea of Elements to the Sea of Treasures, cutting through the clearly defined boundary line like a sharp blade.
Chen Qing had just finished a phase of work and was enjoying a rare moment of sunshine on a deck chair.
Since entering this world, she has either been in the deep sea or in her studio, occasionally coming out for some fresh air, but most of the time is spent at night.
The deep blue sea area has now entered the cold month of rain and is about to enter the frost month, and the temperature is starting to drop.
For most survivors, this is extremely difficult.
Many survivors are simply not prepared for winter; they lack shelter, food, water, and heating supplies.
Now that we've entered the Cold Moon period, acquiring resources has become even more difficult.
Today is a rare sunny day, but it's only in this small area of Treasure Sea.
As the cold month of Yu Xiaoyue arrives, most of the deep blue sea is shrouded in continuous rain, especially the Misty Sea and the Whirlpool Sea, where the rain almost never stops.
As the mechanical ship entered the Treasure Sea, Chen Qing could clearly feel the mechanical heart's jubilant mood.
For the Mechanical Heart, the Treasure Sea was like a mouse entering a rice jar.
The mechanical waste in the sea was salvaged, sorted, and processed by the Mechanical Heart; those still of use were placed in the workshop and warehouse.
Mechanical Heart is very measured in its actions, always prioritizing Chen Qing above all else, and it will never touch anything that shouldn't be touched.
For example, the corpse of the Emerald Shadow that was killed by the Blade Dance Mantis didn't move at all.
Chen Qing arranged for the assistant bees to handle those Wind Shadow Jadeite pieces, instructing them to disassemble them into parts.
The task of dealing with thousands of Wind Shadow Emeralds is a huge undertaking, and even the Assistant Bee would need to spend a considerable amount of time on it.
Many Wind Shadow Emeralds died during the Gem event, but the number killed by Sword Dance Mantis was relatively small.
The main problem was that Chen Qing didn't send too many Wind Shadow Emeralds to follow Sword Dance Mantis; otherwise, no matter how many followed, they would all die.
During the Gemstone event, most of the dead Wind Shadow Jade were killed by the Extraordinary Treasure-Hunting Fish or humans while trying to help Chen Qing seize the gemstones.
It's quite remarkable that their bodies were preserved.
As for the parts removed from Fengying Jadeite, Chen Qing allowed Assistant Bee to use them first.
After all, the number of assistant bees is still too small, and the hive is still in a damaged state.
Upon entering the Treasure Sea, Chen Qing planned to land on the nearest island, where she would need to purchase some mechanical supplies.
For example, the core of a factory, assembly line equipment, essential raw materials for military equipment, ore smelting plants, parts manufacturing plants, and so on.
Some money should be allowed to be earned by others.
Chen Qing's time is so precious.
The closest human settlement to Chen Qing is currently located on an island called Rust Island. Judging from the name, the mechanical products there are definitely not new.
In fact, that is indeed the case.
Rust Island is a relatively large second-hand machinery trading market in Treasure Sea. This place was originally a machinery waste island, specifically used to dump some special scrap machinery.
However, a new school of mechanics emerged on the island, who changed the situation of Rusty Island, turning it from a junkyard into a secondhand market.
Rust Island is a favorite spot for novice mechanics and some professionals who are short on cash, and many ordinary people also like to visit it.
Among the many islands in Treasure Sea, Rust Island is one of the few that is relatively safe.
The creatures that visit Rust Island are all quite poor.
Even if a pirate raid occurs, the pirates, as the raiding party, wouldn't be that powerful.
As for the official forces that robbed Rust Island, it's unlikely that any pirate would want to rob a family of mechanics in Treasure Sea that doesn't offer much profit.
Chen Qing didn't mind using second-hand machinery; the core equipment and production line equipment of her mini-factory on her boat were all second-hand purchases from Shuang Wei.
As long as it works, it's fine; secondhand is even cheaper.
With Chen Qing's keen eye and professional knowledge, he should be able to find quite a few good things on the island.
Speaking of which, the two gem hunters, Shuangwei and Feihuo, have been quite active lately, frequently appearing in Deep Blue Daily reports.
They captured the pirates of the Crystal Armor Pirate Gang, and the entire pirate gang was wiped out.
The Crystal Armor Pirates are a pirate crew composed entirely of orcs, and they are quite powerful, even stronger than the Ghost Moon Pirates.
I heard that the two of them have been chasing after Bai Xian lately, trying to bring her to justice.
Furthermore, according to rumors, Harahi and Hikaru are likely related by blood.
The survivors imagined a whole host of grudges and feuds regarding the relationship between the two.
Besides the two top bounty hunters, Shuangwei and Feihuo, there is another bounty hunter named Pera Sakaki who is also very active.
Her goal is even grander; she's eyeing the Dragon Pirate Crew.
There are quite a few active survivors, not to mention Chen Qing.
Xuan Ye, Zheng Yushan, Rui Huocai, Yin Xiao, and other unofficial survivors who have made a name for themselves during the Gem event have been actively making their presence felt.
As for the survivors from other countries, Chen Qing hadn't paid any attention to them. She only remembered them because she happened to glance at them in the Deep Blue Daily.
The addition of survivors has ushered in a new era for the Deep Blue Sea, and new eras always give rise to countless new powerhouses.
They often climb up by stepping on the corpses of the former powerful, scrambling to be the first.
Chen Qing was one of them. The stronger she became, the more people paid attention to her, and the more people wanted to kill her.
She must constantly strengthen herself.
The mechanical ship sailed into the port of Rust Island and docked at the pier, surrounded by ships of similarly enormous size.
Most of those ships were cargo ships.
The mechanical ship seemed somewhat out of place among them, standing out like a crane among chickens.
After taking the money from the vault, Chen Qing smelled a peculiar mixed metallic odor as soon as she got off the boat, but it wasn't unpleasant to her.
In the distance, thick black smoke continued to rise into the sky.
Rust Island has a small permanent population. Although its island area is dozens of times larger than Sapphire Island, its population is less than half that of Sapphire Island.
Most of the mechanical islands in Treasure Sea are like this, with more machines than people.
The docks are filled with mostly mechanical products: cargo carriers, signalmen, and even food vendors—all of them are machines.
