Chapter 89: Disaster
Looking at the boundless ocean, no one knew how deep the water was. People simply couldn't breathe underwater. However, Lin Yue spoke very easily.
“Even if we know where the mines are in the sea, the sea is just water, so how can we mine them?
No one knows how deep the sea is, so how can we avoid the dangers at sea?"
Although Chen Xiaoxiao admired Lin Yue and was convinced that she had saved everyone from the sea of suffering, she was still very dissatisfied with having to leave the inland and live on the island for the rest of her life. This way, she would not be able to make friends, and even if she wore clothes and jewelry, no one would appreciate them.
The most important thing is that there are no maids to serve you on the island. Even if you have money, you are not allowed to buy them. You have to do everything yourself.
"These are what you are researching. These are not things that can be achieved overnight. Now we have realized that there are minerals and resources on the seabed, and we are still thinking about how to overcome difficulties and obtain them.
This isn't something that can't be solved in one, two, or even ten generations. But as long as we continue to research and develop, we'll always be ahead of others. One day we'll succeed, and then our descendants will possess the world's greatest wealth."
What Lin Yue wants is not for them to get the things now, but their attitude, the ability to actively explore, discover problems and solve them.
As long as this attitude is passed on, even if they fail to develop the technology to mine in the sea, they will surely have their own place in other fields.
"You've all studied history and read prehistoric biographies, so you must know that only five thousand years have passed since the days of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Back then, people still wore animal skins and leaves, ate raw meat, and lived in caves. And yet, we've developed into what we are now.
Who knows what the world will be like in five thousand years? People back then couldn't imagine life today, and we can't imagine life five thousand years from now either. Therefore, we must strive to buy a little more time for future generations, so that they can get ahead of others, even if it's just a little bit."
Lin Yue's heartfelt words made everyone silent. They really didn't think about it for that long. It was good enough that they could think about their grandchildren. They had no idea that Lin Yue's ambitions were so big.
In the past, I always felt that the elders' promise of continuing the family for a thousand years was just empty talk, a pie in the sky for the younger generations. Now that Lin Yue said this, I feel that everything is not so difficult.
"I'm sure you all have different guesses as to why I've settled everyone on the island. It's actually very simple. The island is isolated, and external interference is minimal. As long as our weapons are powerful enough, I don't think anyone would be so blind as to devote the entire nation's resources just to take over our island!
And when Kyushu Island can no longer conceal its brilliance, I think by then it will have the power to stand proudly before the world!"
A group of young boys and girls in their twenties will always remember this scene. Even when their temples are gray and their eyes are cloudy, they will still remember the light emitted by Lin Yue.
In their memoirs, they all mentioned this extraordinary woman who guided their life direction when they were young.
After three days of peaceful journey, the weather suddenly changed. The sky began to be covered with dark clouds. Everyone standing on the deck felt suffocated.
Before everyone could react, lightning began to appear in the sky, and some even struck directly into the sea. Lin Yue was particularly worried that it would strike the boat, after all, her boat was the highest point on the sea level.
"Cheng Hui, let's fold up the sails, otherwise we'll be easily struck by lightning."
The wind was blowing hard on the sea, making people stagger here and there. Even if Lin Yue raised her voice, her words were lost in the wind. She had no choice but to hold on to Cheng Xiaoxiao beside her.
If it weren't for the fact that it took two people to work together to take down the sail, I would have put it down long ago because of the delay.
Because of the strong wind, the entire ship was drifting violently on the sea. Everyone was holding on tightly to the most reliable things around them. With Lin Yue's pull, Chen Xiaoxiao was almost blown away by the wind.
"Lin Yue, what are you doing? You're going to kill me."
Although Chen Xiaoxiao was cursing, she also held Lin Yue's arm tightly, fearing that she would be blown away if she let go.
"Lin Yue, what on earth are you trying to do? Why are you furling the mast? It's already very dangerous. What if the boat capsizes?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand why she didn't consider herself first in such a dangerous situation and always did strange things.
He realized that Lin Yue wanted him to help lower the mast, and he felt very unhappy.
Lin Yue had sharp eyes and ears, so of course she heard Chen Xiaoxiao's complaints, and silently pointed at the lightning and mast in the sky.
At this time, Chen Xiaoxiao had already remembered the incident in Kyoto where a big tree was chopped down and caught fire. Thinking of the mast of the ship being chopped off and all the people on the ship being chopped into black, she couldn't help but shudder.
Chen Xiaoxiao is now thankful that the mast can be folded up, and her movements are much more agile.
The heavy rain came down soon, and the raindrops as big as pigeon eggs hit people's bodies and it hurt. Cheng Xiaoxiao grimaced in pain, but the strong wind made it difficult for her to stand steadily, let alone return to the cabin.
Lin Yue hugged Chen Xiaoxiao's waist, trying her best to ensure that she would not be blown away by the wind.
Chen Xiaoxiao also clung to Lin Yue tightly like an octopus. She couldn't even stand steadily on the boat. The waves on the sea were very strong and she would be thrown out if she wasn't careful.
"Crack, boom."
A bolt of lightning struck directly around the ship, causing everyone to temporarily lose their hearing and feel numb all over. The sea water there evaporated directly due to the extremely high temperature, and the ship was thrown directly out of the air.
Lin Yue and Chen Xiaoxiao were in a miserable state. They left the deck and stopped in mid-air.
"aunt!"
"Xiaoxiao!"
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim, fearing that they would fall into the sea.
Lin Yue had no way to use her supernatural powers in public, so she made a decision in a moment and threw Chen Xiaoxiao onto the deck.
But the force is mutual. The greater the force Lin Yue uses to throw Chen Xiaoxiao, the greater the force will act on herself.
When Chen Xiaoxiao fell onto the deck, Lin Yue also continued to fall towards the sea.
When Lin Daxuan saw this scene, he was furious and wanted to rush out to save his aunt, but his friends controlled his hands and feet and he couldn't break free.
“Auntie, auntie!”
Sad and anxious!
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't feel good after hitting the deck. She felt like her internal organs were about to shift in pain, but she grabbed the rope tied inside the cabin as soon as possible.
“Puff.”
Lin Yue fell into the turbulent sea, but felt calm underwater.
