Chapter 203: There are countless treasures waiting to be discovered in the sea
Xiao Peng spent an extremely boring half month at sea.
He had originally thought Fabian would quickly deal with the rhodium, but the result was clearly not what Xiao Peng wanted. Fabian called him at least twenty times a day to tell him, but there was almost no good news.
Xiao Peng originally hated live streaming, but now it seems fortunate that there is live streaming, otherwise he would be bored to death on the sea!
There were only a few of us on the boat, and we were just looking at each other all day long. How could we have much to talk about? All we did was play cards.
Moreover, even if Xiao Peng were to live stream, there was nothing good to broadcast. Today he would live stream fishing, tomorrow he would live stream gaming, and the day after tomorrow he would live stream cooking, which fully let the audience in the live broadcast room know how boring life at sea is!
Finally, he was so bored that he found new fun, but this fun made Jenny feel very painful.
“Crack!”
"Damn, it's cracked again! Walter, how do you play this thing?"
Xiao Peng was sitting on the deck with an electric drill in his hand and wearing glasses, cross-legged.
Walter explained beside him: "Boss, don't be in a hurry. You have to be gentle and take your time!"
Pascal laughed and said, "This incident fully proves that there is no perfect person in the world. Xiao, you are not omnipotent either. I didn't expect your hands-on ability to be so poor!"
Xiao Peng couldn't refute it.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was quite lively.
"spendthrift!"
"Yeah, how many pieces of obsidian did he waste? Isn't this a very expensive 'silver obsidian'?"
"People have money and don't care."
"He's so stupid!"
"Don't call my husband stupid!"
"Get lost, that's my husband!"
Xiao Peng glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room and shook his head. He picked up another piece of obsidian and prepared to try again.
Jenny complained to Walter: “It’s all your fault!”
Walter spread his hands to indicate that it was none of his business!
The whole story is this: Walter was extremely bored on the ship, so he modified a handheld electric drill, slowed down the speed and converted the drill bit into a grinding tool. He polished a piece of obsidian into the shape of a goddess of wisdom. Although it looks a bit rough without polishing, it has to be said that his craftsmanship is really good!
After watching it, Xiao Peng also became interested and asked Walter to teach him how to do it. However, he could not control his strength well, so he repeatedly broadcast live how he destroyed the obsidian.
Xiao Peng was very skeptical and picked up another piece of obsidian. However, this time, the obsidian snapped into two pieces as soon as the electric drill touched it.
The live broadcast room is full of joy
"Oh, screwed again!"
“This hands-on ability is too poor!”
"If you can't do it, don't waste it! How about you mail the broken silver obsidian to me?"
Xiao Peng looked at the live broadcast room and sighed, "You people only think about getting things, only wanting pie in the sky. Why don't you think about finding things with your own hands? I tell you, when you get to the ocean, you don't have to look for shipwrecks. If you find an underwater volcano, you might get rich!"
"What? You don't believe me?" Xiao Peng flicked the broken obsidian in his hand onto the surface of the sea. "You think this obsidian is great, but I really don't think much of it. Nature is actually quite amazing. People say volcanoes are scary, like the ancient city of Pompeii, which was completely submerged by a volcanic eruption. But volcanic ash is actually very good fertilizer, very beneficial for plant growth. For example, Indonesia has many active volcanoes, but the plants there are also very lush."
"Volcanoes also bring a wealth of wealth. For example, magma can turn into rock, and there are two types of magma. One is that the volcano has magma but doesn't erupt, but instead intrudes into the rock layer, thus forming granite. The other is that magma directly erupted from the volcano and then cooled to form rocks. Depending on the acidity and alkalinity of the magma, it can become rocks such as basalt, andesite, rhyolite, trachyte, and so on. Eruptive magma on the seafloor often cools rapidly, often becoming glassy. Therefore, there is a lot of obsidian on the seafloor, more than you can imagine. Furthermore, the formation of gemstones like chalcedony and agate is directly related to volcanoes. Materially speaking, they are all silicon dioxide, just with different densities."
"Another benefit of volcanic eruptions is that they form gem deposits. Aside from organic minerals like amber, coral, and opal, most of the world's gems are products of magma. There are rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, garnets, and so on. Oh, diamonds are an exception. Diamonds are formed under high temperature and pressure. While volcanic eruptions don't form diamonds, they do eject diamond-bearing kimberlite. If you discovered those gems, would you still think obsidian was valuable? The vast majority of the world's volcanoes are on the seabed, and because seawater can cool rapidly, many gems are formed in the ocean. There's a wealth of wealth on the seabed waiting to be discovered. Once you've seen more, you won't care about this little bit of obsidian anymore! Do you feel bad that I'm wasting all this obsidian here?"
Xiao Peng paused, shook his head, and said, "I can only say this to you: you still don't have enough experience! On the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea there is an underwater volcano called 'Marsilli'. It's an active volcano, constantly gushing out magma. The entire volcano is about the same size as the city of Shenzhen! There is endless wealth there. Unfortunately, with the current technological means of mankind, it is too difficult to obtain the wealth there. There are tens of thousands or even more submarine volcanoes like this on the seabed. I hope you will have good skills and luck to develop the wealth there in the future! Oh, sorry, I have a phone call."
After answering the call, Xiao Peng said to the screen, "Okay, my live broadcast is over today!" Without waiting for a response from the live broadcast room, he turned off the live broadcast and said in a louder voice, "Xiao Pa! Send the video footage and coordinates to Fernandez. Remember to keep the master copy so they don't default! Walter, Khedira, raise the sails and anchor with me!"
Jenny, who was sunbathing nearby, took off her eye mask and asked curiously, "Xiao, what's wrong? Where are we going next?"
"Where are we going?" Xiao Peng stood up and stretched. "You've all had enough of being at sea for so long, right? Let's go home!"
After hearing what he said, Lisa rushed out of the cabin and said excitedly, "We're going home? Damn it! This is the best news I've ever heard!"
Blair also cheered after hearing this: "Thank God, I have never missed land as much as I do now!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this.
The excitement the girls had felt when they first arrived at sea had long since faded. Life in such a small space on the ship was driving them crazy with boredom.
For them now, there is no better news than returning home!
