Master of Thermodynamics

"Wow...wow..."

A large number of marine fish jumped out of the water in a panic, volleyed for a certain distance, and then fell into the water, splashing large waves, and the water seemed to be boiling.

In this rare spectacle, the crew on the deck looked dull.

"Get out of the way, be careful of being hit by a sea fish..." Ottore yelled, reminding the crew to avoid.

However, it was too late.

Because of the obscuration of the fog, it was not until the fish rushed closer that everyone saw marine fish flying in the sky.

This is naturally a masterpiece of Adanis.

As a beast, as long as it releases a trace of the pressure that is unique to the beast underneath the fish, it is enough to scare the fish out of the water and jump out of the water desperately.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The hull of the exploration ship was hit with blasts, and many marine fish with extremely strong jumping ability crossed the ship's rail and landed on the deck.

Several unlucky guys who couldn't dodge, were knocked to the ground by the flying sea fish, howling in pain.

The average body length of marine fish is more than 1.2 meters, and the weight is not less than 50 kg. It is not a good thing to be hit by them. It is not impossible for the crew to wear helmets and protective clothing, severely injured or even hung up on the spot.

The appearance of sea fish is quite strange.

They have bluish-black scales and a rare diamond shape. They are larger in size and thicker than ordinary marine fish, and have 4 fins on their abdomen.

The marine fish that jumped onto the deck crawled with their fins, and the speed was not slow.

This is obviously because of the unique environment and special characteristics evolved here.

There are a large number of reefs in the Misty Sea. The sea surface is cut and fragmented by the reef group. There are not many large sea areas. Marine fish inhabiting here are forced to climb over the reef barriers in order to find food or find mates to breed offspring.

Over the long years, their pelvic fins have become stronger and stronger, and they have mastered the special technique of "crawling with pelvic fins".

The sea fish that was sent by Adanis was one of them.

The reason why the scales on their bodies have become so thick is also to meet the needs of crawling.

The thicker the scales, the stronger the protection. When crawling on the reef, it will not be damaged by the sharp edges and corners of the reef, and the crawling distance will be longer.

...

Miss Cat Chef is really a smart and capable beast.

When it heard the screams from the exploration ship, it immediately understood that it had stabbed a big basket, so it immediately changed its strategy of driving away the fish.

The effect was immediate. Marine fish no longer jumped out of the water. Instead, they were thrown out of the water by a furry claw.

Marine fish rowed through the air one after another, "banging" and falling onto Class A.

Adanis seemed to perceive where there were people and where there was nothing, and all the sea fish fell into the clearing accurately, without hurting anyone. This amazing control power is really amazing.

Miss Cat Chef also intimately stabbed the marine fish with her sharp claws to prevent the marine fish from jumping and hurting people.

After a layer of marine fish piled up on the deck, Renault hurriedly shouted:

"Aini, there are enough fish...let the other sea fish a way out..."

The movement of the sea quickly subsided, and then a wet cat's head emerged from the water.

It gently slapped the sea with its two front paws, a pair of big round eyes, looking at Renault eagerly, with an expression of "please praise and praise".

Renault grinned and gave a thumbs up to the cat's head:

"Aini, great job!"

A cheerful little grunt came from Adanis's mouth, and she climbed onto the exploration ship in twos or twos.

Without Renault's order, the crew began to consciously clean up the marine fish. Some of the marine fish were sent to the refrigerated room in the cabin, and the other part was processed on-site. The scales were scraped off, the internal organs were removed, and then divided into small pieces, and finally sent to the kitchen.

Adanis also joined them, picking up a sea fish and running around on the deck, her movements light and agile.

That's right, our lady cat chef is so hardworking!

...

"This is the seaweed eaten by the ‘black ring four-legged fish’? They don’t look like plants..."

Renault looked at the strange-looking seaweeds that Ezio had brought back, and said in surprise.

The so-called "black ring four-legged fish" refers to the sea fish that Adanis caught, and it is also the name that was freshly released not long ago.

As for the seaweed that someone thinks is "not very plant-like", it is about 8-10 meters in length, slightly larger than a palm, and sparsely distributed, with two leaves about 20-30 cm apart.

In the seaweed family of another world, this can only be regarded as a small man.

"Lord Lord." Ezio said in admiration, "I agree with you... I think its leaves are a bit like mushrooms..."

He took off a palm-sized seaweed leaf and showed it to Renault:

"Look, is the texture on the reverse side of the leaf the same as that of ordinary mushrooms? It's also extra plump and soft to pinch, which is similar to mushrooms... How can ordinary seaweed leaves grow like this?"

Renault picked up a mushroom leaf, took a closer look, then tore the leaf apart, observing the internal structure, his complexion became more and more weird.

"Ezio, your opinion is correct... Except for the color and shape of ordinary seaweed leaves, it is indeed very similar to mushrooms... Or, this is the mushroom that grows on seaweed... Well, mushroom algae!"

Reynolds murmured, astonished in his heart, there was also an indescribable funnyness.

Damn it, have you made a mistake, otherworldly mushrooms are so powerful that they have grown into the sea so much?

Ezio "tsk tsk" a few times, and said with some regret:

"The yield of'Mushroom Algae' is much higher than that of ordinary mushrooms...Unfortunately, its color is dark green, and it seems to be poisonous to a certain extent and cannot be eaten..."

"It's not necessarily poisonous." Renault shook his head. "The reason why it is dark green is probably because of chloroplasts... In other words, it should be a hybrid of plants and fungi, and possess the characteristics of plants and fungi at the same time."

"It has been shrouded in dense fog for a long time, and the light is severely insufficient. It is difficult for normal plants to survive. On the contrary, mushroom algae are most suitable for this environment."

"On the one hand, its mushroom leaves contain chloroplasts, which can carry out photosynthesis. On the other hand, it can absorb various nutrients in the environment like mushrooms, such as marine fish feces, biological debris, etc..."

Ezio immediately believed the words of his lord. In his eyes, Renault's image was comparable to an all-knowing and omnipotent god. Who would question the words of the god?

He tore off a small mushroom leaf and stuffed it into his mouth, intending to taste it.

Renault dumbfoundedly stopped the action of the boy:

"Hey, don't rush to eat, what I said is'not necessarily poisonous', not'must not be poisonous'!"

"First bring the mushroom algae back to the Institute of Marine Biology, and do a toxicity test... If there is no toxicity and the taste is reasonable, you can try large-scale cultivation."

He touched his chin and said:

"The three mushroom algae are too few...Ezio, you go get some more mushroom algae, by the way, mark the origin of the mushroom algae on the map..."

"Yes, Lord Lord!" Ezio smiled and dropped the mushroom leaves and went to work obediently.

...

After half an hour, Renault gave an order, and the exploration ship put away the anchor and set sail again. The propeller rolled up the surging water, leaving a thick and foamy track.

In the vast fog tens of meters away, a round head quietly drilled out of the water, quietly watching the exploration ship disappear into the thick fog.

Its whole body is blue and gray, its skin is smooth and hairless, and it has a beak-like beak. Its nostrils are located on the top of its head. It looks a bit like a dolphin on earth when viewed alone.

After the exploration ship was completely swallowed by the fog, it stretched out a pair of short arms and stroked the water surface, and the waves suddenly rippled away.

Its arms are extremely weird, with a thick layer of “webbed” under the armpits and elbows, which seems to be composed of a cuticle. The palm has only 4 fingers, and the webs are also connected between the fingers.

This is a humanoid creature!
