    Lighthouse in the sea fog⑤

    About three days later, Nishi sent back the specific blasting plan.

    The implementation of the plan requires waiting for the next large-scale ocean current movement in the Ikanos Trench, and then blasting at multiple points of the boulder to evenly split the boulder into small pieces. At the same time, the power of the ocean current will be used to take away the gravel. This way, the direction of the entrance to the underwater warehouse can be exposed, with minimal vibration and little impact on the recovery plan.

    At most, the ocean currents on the seabed may be a little more “lethal” than before, but as long as people are inside the submarine, they are still safe.

    Of course, Ni Yin also proposed a backup plan that can be supplemented when Ni Shi’s plan does not work. The gap in the side wall of the trench can be expanded to a very deep extent. You can try to drill deeper from the gap next to the entrance to re-open a tunnel for the underwater warehouse.This plan required the mermaids to send some helpers to dig in, but as the trench was a cemetery, the mermaids were unwilling to destroy this place, so this plan failed to become a formal plan.

    Based on weather and tide calculations, the next increase in current activity is four days from now.

    While waiting, Lu Rong took Feinier around the island.

    The mermaid’s underwater market is very lively and cannot be visited by ordinary people, but Kaos has also set up one on land to facilitate the mermaids on land to set up stalls. Most of them sell decorations made of coral, shells and clams. Occasionally, some people sell some self-defense weapons.

    Fenier was very wary. Although Rürong said he didn’t have to worry about his identity being revealed, he would still use mimicry to make his appearance more ordinary whenever he went out. However, when he walked on the road, he realized that although he was ordinary, Rürong was not ordinary. Alpha was a bit too eye-catching when walking in the crowd.

    Rürong is tall, has handsome features, and has very special pink hair. He is the center of attention wherever he goes. However, Rürong seems to be unaware of this state of being the focus of the crowd. In other words, he is very adaptable and does not care about the people around him who are constantly looking at him.

    He picked through several stalls and selected a lot of things, planning to take them back as souvenirs to those left behind in Broken Star City.

    He looked back at Finier, “Is there anything you want?”

    Fenier glanced around and shook his head. He didn’t have the habit of buying souvenirs when he went to a place, and he couldn’t find anyone who needed to bring a souvenir.

    Lu Rong seemed to know what he meant. He glanced at Fenier’s clean neck and wrists and asked, “Would you like to pick one for yourself?”

    When Lu Rong said this, Fenier also looked at Lu Rong’s empty neck. He subconsciously looked back at the stall selling accessories. When Lu Rong saw him starting to choose, he didn’t rush him, and just watched Finier’s selection process.

    He found that although Fenier didn’t speak or move, he actually made a lot of small movements. When he saw people he liked or didn’t like, there would be some subtle emotions in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but he couldn’t tell without looking closely.

    After wandering around for a few times, Fenier settled on the target, which was a very thin pearl necklace. He chose very thin beads and strung them together, and a slightly larger one fell below.He stopped and looked at it for a long time.

    Lu Rong took the initiative and asked, “Do you want this one?”

    Fenier looked up at him as if he had regained consciousness. Before he could say anything, Lürong had already bought the one he had chosen, as well as the ones Fenier had shown he liked after looking at them just now.

    The stall owner was overjoyed, took out a delicate clam shell, packed it up, and handed it to Finier. Finier was forced to hold the clam shell filled with jewelry in his hands, and he was a little unable to react for a while.

    The stall owner smiled and said, “You are very suitable for these things. Do you want to try them now?”

    “No,” Fenier quickly refused and took a step back, “No need.”

    Lu Rong didn’t force him and took him to another place.

    As he moved forward, Lu Rong looked around. Recently, he always felt like he was being followed, but strangely, he never found any traces left by the other party. Instead, he seemed to be overthinking.

    The crowds in the market are bustling and have different appearances. It can be said that the Mermaid Market brings together the style and culture of the entire Shuiyuan Planet. There is snow-white sea sand underfoot, and the stalls are made of dead corals or tables made of stones. Decorations made of seaweed and crystals are hung everywhere. It is wet, but there is no fishy smell of water. Instead, there is a vast and fresh vine smell full of oceanic atmosphere.

    It is said that this smell comes from a plant on the seabed. Kaos asked people to use this plant to make perfume. It was once popular in the universe and attracted many people who wanted to travel to the water source star. Some even wanted to have a love affair in the water with a mermaid. However, after several people drowned, this crazy behavior was stopped.

    However, the mermaids still maintain their warm and open living habits. They are always very curious about human beings. Along the way, not only Lurong, but also the cold-faced Fenier, many people showed their kindness to him.Rürong always pulled Fenier to his side when the bouquet of courtship flowers was handed over. When the other party saw Omega with a cold face and the pheromones mingling between the two of them, he turned around and gave up.

    As for Fenier, no mermaid Alpha dared to approach him. Just looking at him from a distance made them fearful, and they even somewhat admired the Alpha who stood calmly next to Fenier.

    After visiting the whole market, it was getting late, with purple-orange sunset filling the sky and lead-colored clouds scattered here and there.

    Lu Rong bought a bunch of large and small bags, as if he was coming to the market to purchase goods. He gave all the things to X01 and asked him to put them into the Sky. He accompanied Finier and walked along the path for a while.

    When passing the berth on the road, Lu Rong saw a ship docking into the berth. The outer body of the starship was branded with a huge mercenary association emblem. As expected, Eros must have returned.

    Lu Rong didn’t come close, and stood looking at Feignier from a distance for a while.The person who came off the aircraft carrier was indeed Eros. Behind him was a man wearing black clothes. His face could not be seen clearly. He was suspected to be the feathered serpent that Eros had found, but the thin back did not look like the type that could be beaten.

    Fenier stared at the back for a long time, his brows furrowed in confusion.

    Someone seemed to be reminding Eros something over there. He looked in the direction of Lürong. Two seconds later, he waved to Lürong from a distance. Lürong raised his hand and waved in response.

    Eros seemed to be in a hurry, and before he could come over and say anything to Lürong, he turned around and hurried away with the crowd.

    Lu Rong turned to look at Fenier: “Go back.”

    When Lürong and Fenier returned to the Sky, they found that X01, who was behaved outside, seemed to be crazy at the moment. He waved his eight paws and jumped into the souvenir bought by Rürong. He put claws on all eight of his legs. The whole machine was so magnificent that it seemed to be rimmed with gold.

    He was running rampant like a crab, dropping shells as he walked, and at the same time helping Lu Rong register the things so that he could go back and distribute them. He was making trouble and working at the same time, but he didn’t miss anything. Lu Rong looked at it with a headache for a while and let him go.

    Fenier put the clam shells he was holding on the table in front of him. He selected and observed them, as if he wanted to put them together to do something. Lu Rong had already lit the ignition, drove the Sky, and headed towards the wooden house.

    When we arrived at the wooden house, it was already mostly dark. The sky over the sea in the distance showed a deep purple color. The curtain of day fell and the starry sky was about to appear.

    Lu Rong received the message from Eros. He roughly said that he would take the feathered snake to solve the problem of the flame spider first, and would inform Lu Rong when there was a result.Lu Rong didn’t mind waiting and replied casually.

    The feathered serpent’s restraint against the flame spider is innately determined, and this discovery can even be regarded as one of the origins of the empire.

    The founding emperor of Kulkan discovered a small planet that was penetrated by a huge meteor during his interstellar travel. The flame spider inside the planet crawled out, and a bright red patch covered the gap in the planet.

    The emperor was naturally curious about things he had never seen before, and wanted to see them no matter what they were.

    He sent the first group of people down first. That group of people were killed by the flame spider’s extremely powerful flame attack, leaving no trace of their armor behind, but they collected a lot of experience.

    The second group of people was led by the emperor himself. Miraculously, these creatures seemed to be innately afraid of the feathered snake. Under the breath of the feathered snake, the flame spider’s attack was much weaker. In addition, the feathered snake was not afraid of heat and had strong healing ability. The emperor successfully walked into the depths of the nest and discovered the precipitating star core.

    He brought back the star core, and after studying it with his team, he started the super-energy era with the star core as the main energy source, and established an empire on this basis.

    In the beginning, no matter which planet they went to mine star cores, they would bring feathered serpents with them. Later, after enough mining, they gradually discovered that not all planets have flame spiders. Only the more active planets will have flame spiders living there. Therefore, the main planets to be mined are planets with low activity such as F stars. Only when the existence of flame spiders is occasionally discovered, the feathered snakes will be sent to accompany them.

    It is completely reasonable for Water Source, a planet in its prime, to find flame spiders.

    After the feathered snake brought by Eros followed Kaos’s team to explore the well, good news soon came. The flame spiders had indeed died down a lot. In addition, Lürong asked Harris to bring some people to help, and the progress of cleaning up the flame spiders there was on the right track.

    On Lujong’s side, after receiving the news that everything was going well in Eros, he drove the submarine into the water. This time he went alone. Fenier was carrying out his own rehabilitation plan in the wooden house.

    After Lu Rong arrived at the approved location, he fired a fixed explosive device at the boulder. The explosive device waved its small propeller and went straight towards the boulder, firmly attached to the surface of the boulder.

    According to Nishi’s design, the blasting device will continuously monitor the direction of the ocean current. When the ocean current becomes stronger, it will automatically and gradually detonate. The explosion wave will be minimized, and the gravel will be taken away along the current, minimizing the impact on nearby sea areas.

    After confirming that the explosive device was securely fixed, Lu Rong surfaced again. According to the recent weather assessment, the expected ocean currents would be delayed for one day. Lu Rong planned to return to the sea tomorrow and continue to wait and observe the activities of the ocean currents so that he could go back to see Finier again. So he returned to the wooden house carrying the fish he caught in the sea today.
