Chapter 987 The World of Magnetic Man
"Captain's order, Eugene from the repair room, report to the bow deck."
The messenger sends out the message in the magnetic field.
Eugene put down the railing he was grinding and left the cabin repair room. Outside was a wide corridor, with a large number of railings forming the floor and walls, and there were many graffiti painted on it, some of which were left by children today, and more were drawn by people in the past.
In the rooms on both sides of the corridor lived children younger than Eugene.
Most of them are still learning how to use tools and magnetism. A few, like Eugene, have mastered all the basic skills and started to participate in the formal labor on the ship - grinding and splicing railings, repairing damaged bulkheads, and making magnetic collars.
The bottom of the magnetic sailboat is used to protect children. As the age and ability of the magnetic people grow, they will gradually enter higher levels of the ship and can enter and exit the deck freely after obtaining crew qualifications.
Eugene went up the stairs and stood on the deck after getting confirmation from the crew that the door was open.
The magnetic field outside was so turbulent that he had to use magnetic force to hold the ship steady. The ship was constantly tossed by the storms and waves of the magnetic sea. This was a completely different world from the stable cabin, and it was also a real cruel environment.
Eugene had come up several times.
But he still feels excited every time he sets foot here.
Sailing in the boundless magnetic sea, the magnetic sailboat, which is not very big to begin with, appears particularly small.
Above our heads is the other pole of the magnetic sea, where the force of the magnetic field also pushes all kinds of gravel and mud, forming an endless, continuously rolling dark brown ocean current.
Occasionally, you can see a magnetic sailboat passing by in the upside-down sky. You can say hello from a distance, because each is the sky in each other's eyes, and because of the different magnetic poles, they can never touch each other, just like two sea horizons that will never intersect.
The Labour family's magnetic sailboat sailed in such a harsh and dangerous environment, and never stopped exploring and moving forward.
The captain stood at the bow, holding a positioning disk in his hand, and was identifying the direction.
Labour VII was the captain of the ship and the leader of the 137 magnetic men of the Labour family. He was tall and stocky, and Eugene's head only reached his thighs.
"Eugene."
The captain turned around, and the powerful magnetic field emanating from his dark face was intimidating.
"I have decided to send you and Damon to the disaster area as the Labur family's entrants this time."
Eugene was surprised: "The disaster area... the boundary wall has appeared?"
"Yes, it's just ahead."
Various material fragments gather in the magnetic sea, forming fixed flows under the influence of the strong magnetic field. In this ever-changing fluid world, there are also some scattered islands.
The most famous are the White Islands, or boundary walls, which are the boundaries of the world and rise from the bottom of the magnetic sea in the form of islands - this is also a non-periodic phenomenon under the action of the magnetic field.
If you find the boundary wall, you will have a chance to pass through it and enter the legendary training hall, the disaster-stricken land.
The last time the crew of the Labour entered the disaster area was 181 years ago. The experienced man at that time, Big Downs Labour, has now become the second mate of the Labour and the captain's right-hand man.
The opportunity to enter the boundary wall is rare, with only one or two spots available each time, due to the choice of passage to the disaster site itself.
Rabble VII said, "I have already surveyed the magnetic field imaging. The size this time is not bad, larger than the one in Bigdance. I hope both of you can successfully enter the other end."
Eugene was a little confused: "Captain, but I haven't become a crew member yet."
"So besides you, I also chose Damon, who is a young crew member."
Seeing Eugene's hesitation, Labour VII said, "You want to ask, why did you choose me?"
"Yes, Captain. To be honest, I have never understood why. If we send an experienced officer like Second Officer Bigdowns, the effect should be much better than what we have done."
"No, you're wrong, Eugene."
The captain's magnetic field exudes a gentle power: "The older the magnetic person is, the less suitable he is for the past. Because as he gets older, his body will become larger and larger, and will attract more and more magnets, but this will also make his thoughts more and more complicated and difficult to concentrate."
"For example, we may hesitate whether to obtain direct power or growth characteristics, we may resist taking risks, and we may tend to be stable... We have mastered a lot of experience and skills, but these experiences and skills also constrain us."
"But you are at a different stage now. You have not yet been restrained by the gravity of this world, and your imagination can still fly through the heavy magnetic field of the sea. Our ship needs changes, and we need young magnetic people. This is also the consensus of most captains, so the candidates we choose to send ashore are getting younger and younger."
"Eugene, your greatest strength is that you dare to think. This is very important. Some people don't even have the courage to think, so it's even more impossible for them to do it. Even if you can take a step forward, or even give some experience of failure to those who come after you, it is invaluable."
Eugene was a little embarrassed.
When the captain talks about daring to think, he actually just likes to brag.
Eugene boasted about himself to younger children and his peers.
He once fell into the magnetic sea, struggled to survive and fought with a magnetic monster for three days and three nights, and finally got its recognition and sent him back to the ship.
There is an invisible magnetic sailboat that has been sending magnetic signals to himself. It is a huge ship with multiple bows, like a huge palm that can easily accommodate thousands of magnetic people.
The ship lacked a captain because the Magnetron had completely aged and merged into the hull. Since Eugene defeated Magnetron last time, Magnetron recommended the sailboat to him, but he declined.
Because this sailboat of unknown origin might have some kind of curse, he would build his own boat.
In short, Eugene will be an unparalleled captain in the future, sailing on the magnetic sea in the powerful magnetic sailboat he built.
These were all made up by him, just fantasies in his mind.
I didn't expect that the captain would take a fancy to this aspect of me.
Eugene didn't know whether to say the captain was confused or wise.
The sailboat approached an area of sea where the sea surface suddenly and slowly rose. A white floating island emerged from under the heavy magnetic sea, and it stood out so conspicuously on the dark sea surface.
Rabble VII sent two members to the island.
He first gave some instructions to the crew member Damon alone.
Then the captain's magnetic field was extended to Eugene again: "Eugene, after you enter that place, it may take many years for you to come back. But you will also have the opportunity to quickly improve your own magnetism there."
"I hope you remember that the Labour family will always wait for your return. We will always search for your magnetic field, waiting to meet you again."
Stepping onto the floating island, Eugene felt himself sinking rapidly and being swallowed by the island.
When he woke up again, he was already in the disaster area.
…
19 years later.
Eugene watched a catastrophic body fly into the air and disappear into the sky.
Information was sensed in his magnetic field.
[Disaster medium LV1 is running successfully, gear teeth are released. 】
【Gear teeth: 1】
[Required to complete the introduction: 18877/63000]
Slowly stopping the sun wheel, Eugene breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's work is done and I can finally relax.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He looked to the side.
Damon was still furiously carving the body with his appendages.
As crew members of the La Boer, Damon has completely different personalities from Eugene. He is a very ambitious guy who only thinks about one thing, which is to help the entire La Boer through the transformation of the disaster body journey.
Damon worked tirelessly to turn the sun wheel and disassemble the raw parts in order to produce as many mediums as possible and obtain more gear teeth so that he could have enough balance to exchange for an increase in his own magnetic strength.
Eugene admired him.
But Eugene couldn't be like him.
If the average work standard of each person on the La Boer is 5, Eugene is 6, then Damon is 9.
This is Damon.
Eugene felt that he couldn't spend all his time on the same thing. It was like driving a ship. If everyone tried to keep the ship sailing at full speed, who would maintain the ship, who would observe and steer the direction, and who would pay attention to the movements of the magnetic sea storm?
But he never talked about it.
Because Damon is indeed worthy of respect. He can persevere in a way that other members of the Labour family cannot, surging like the magnetic sea. Perhaps becoming the movement of the magnetic sea is also a way to fight against it.
Eugene asked as usual.
"Damon, do you want to go magnetic field surfing?"
"No."
The usual cold answer.
Eugene closed his eyes and connected his magnet to the magnetic field.
The magnetic field is a tool for magnetic people to communicate and travel with each other, which is an ability that other workers in the disaster area do not have.
Soon Eugene noticed that there were two magnetic men communicating, and their magnetic fields intertwined with each other, forming ripples with a specific rhythm.
There are only a few magnetic people in the disaster area, and the total number does not exceed 50. They can be confirmed through the magnetic reaction of the magnetic field.
This time it was the crew of the Porteri.
One of the magnets said, "Friends, the Yao tribe has taken action against several senior wheelwrights of the one-eyed man. Under normal circumstances, the one-eyed man is very good at taking advantage of the rules, and provoking them will cause the production of the disaster body to be disrupted..."
Eugene had heard of One-Eye.
He was a well-known senior gear workers. He and several other senior gear workers formed a group and occupied a large mountain of raw materials. They would threaten and extort the low-level gear workers around them.
One-Eye has been here for many years and knows the rules of the disaster area. They are very good at skirting the rules, such as deliberately hanging around the target shift workers, talking, laughing, provoking... This will cause great psychological pressure on the harassed, but they don't directly obstruct the other party.
No sanctions will be taken against the disaster-stricken areas.
Even if there is a punishment, it is just to increase the number of disaster-related tasks that the one-eyed boy has to complete. These old hands don't care at all.
The newcomers in the rotation union feared being wiped out if they could not complete their mission, so they could only submit obediently, serve as the peripheral brothers of the one-eyed man, and pay tribute to them. They dared not to resist and leave until they had earned enough money to achieve the goal of the first hundred years.
Eugene listened attentively.
The people on the Porteri had an open dialogue, which meant they didn't mind other magnetic people joining in.
"I know that."
Another Magnet interrupted and said, "Not long ago, One-Eye and his gang threatened a new shift worker, but that new worker had already joined the Yao Clan, which led to the Yao Clan's intervention. They arranged three LV5 disaster bodies to block the three people of One-Eye and destroyed the disaster bodies they released in the air."
"Later, the one-eyed guy came over to apologize and paid a sum of high-quality raw materials, and that was the end of the matter."
The first magnetic man said, "What I want to say is that the Yao Clan town is recruiting people to join us. Should we consider it?"
"Anyway, if we follow their way, we can release at least three disaster bodies every day, which is the pure profit we can get. We can reach 4, and there are rewards from the Yao tribe, which can be exchanged for even more gears. We can rest for 2 days after working for 5 days, so we will not lose money if we work for a hundred years. It is definitely more profitable than doing it alone. Maybe we can upgrade the magnet to level 10."
They immediately focused on discussing the treatment there, and thought it would be more beneficial to find more people and go there as a group to discuss the issue.
Eugene had heard of the Yao tribe but had never dealt with them.
From the conversation of the Porteri crew, Eugene felt something was wrong again.
In this way, all the profits go to the shift workers. Doesn't the Yao clan have to support these people at their own expense?
Being the old braggart that he is, Eugene was skeptical.
But the Yao clan’s ability to brag can make so many people believe and join, which is indeed a skill.
He decided to go and find out the situation on the spot.
At least in the field of bragging, learn from the advanced experience of the Yao people.
