Without the energy provided by the sea monster pearl, the octopus could only rely on the nutrients provided by fish food. Although the fish food prevented it from becoming completely paralyzed, its mental state was noticeably worse than before.
This experience seems to have helped the octopus grow a lot. When it occasionally perks up, it no longer runs around wildly like before, but instead uses its long tentacles to dredge up star steel from the seabed.
Gu Xi felt strangely embarrassed by the octopus's diligence. It was as if she wouldn't even spare the octopus if it were sick, making her feel like a serf owner.
However, thanks to the hard work of the octopus, the reserves of Xingchen Steel have exceeded 100 million tons.
Gu Xi rewarded the octopus with plenty of fish food to reward its hard work. Then she went to the smelting room to check on the aquamarine ore that had been smelted the day before.
She opened the door to the smelting room, and a wave of hot gas rushed out.
The first thing Gu Xi did after entering the house was to put away the 10 pieces of Fire Essence. Before long, the heat in the room gradually dissipated thanks to the ventilation through the windows and the cooling system.
Gu Xi walked to the blast furnace, opened it, and a faint blue light caught the eye. It was like the most dazzling star in the deep night sky.
She held her breath, her gaze fixed on the furnace, where she saw a pile of deep, dark blue crystals.
Their shapes are completely different from the previous aquamarine ore. They are no longer the rough and unruly raw stones. After being tempered by high temperature for a long time, they have transformed into a more regular and exquisite appearance.
Gu Xi took out a piece to examine it.
Aquamarine: The essence of aquamarine ore, refined and condensed through high-temperature tempering, possesses excellent temperature-regulating properties.
Temperature-controlled! This is the heat- and cold-resistant material she's been waiting for. With its temperature-controlled properties, it won't be afraid of high temperatures or freezing temperatures.
What pleased her even more was that aquamarine ore was easy to obtain, and there were plenty of people selling it on the market.
She now has all three key materials in hand.
Star Steel is extremely hard and possesses the properties of transmitting spiritual energy and changing the spectrum.
UFO wood is extremely lightweight and can even glow.
Aquamarine crystals have a constant temperature property, making them resistant to temperature changes.
If these three materials can be successfully fused, the completion of her ship construction will be just around the corner.
Now that the materials were ready, all that was missing was the fusion experiment. So Gu Xi opened her friend list, found Xu Lulu, told her about it, and then sent her five sets of experimental materials.
All she had to do was wait for the fusion results from Xu Lulu's side.
With their friend chat closed, the sharks continued their journey in the darkness.
Quietly, a thin mist spread across the sea, and within this hazy mist, the light emitted by the shark pearl became softer.
However, on the ocean, sudden changes often mean danger, and Gu Xi immediately became alert. She quickly released her mental energy to probe the surrounding space and found that it was just ordinary dense fog, which reassured her.
Due to the thin fog, Gu Xi also had the sharks slow down their search. Suddenly, a faint, eerie light appeared and disappeared in the fog ahead.
So far, she has encountered three different situations regarding the light at sea.
The first possibility is a fire at sea; the second is a deep-sea creature passing by; the third is a volcanic eruption on an island. In these scenarios, crisis and opportunity coexist, so which one will it be this time? (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
