Chapter 972 Kraken Construction Plan
The Kraken, this mysterious race that has nothing to do with the world, has lived peacefully in the depths of the ocean for ten thousand years. They seem to have always been content with the status quo, slowly spending their long lifespan in the deep sea. The environment on land Changes and changing times have not affected the Kraken City-State in the slightest.
But they are not really an immutable race. In fact, contrary to their "hermit" image, the sirens are a curious species. They are very willing to accept new knowledge from outside, and after knowing their origins, they are even more interested. Be willing to dig into the history of your own civilization.
"We are looking for ways to repair Nasatorn. Not only are we repairing the buildings that were destroyed in the last war, we also want to repair the base shell of the spacecraft and the lower isolation cabin. There is a huge hole at the bottom of the city, with mud and sand. Scrap metal clogged all the pipes down there. That place had been abandoned for 10,000 years, and we didn’t realize until today that it was a big hole made by the spacecraft when it landed on the bottom of the sea.” Katrina’s fingers unconsciously pointed at Nasatorn "We feel that repairing this ship is the first step in rebuilding Io's heritage, and the process of repairing the ship will also help restore those lost ancient technologies."
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "So you want an ark? Use it as a material to repair the spaceship?"
"Not just materials for repairing the spacecraft," Katrina smiled, "by the way, for reference research. Our sisters have been living in this deep sea for ten thousand years. Such a long period of closure has caused the Kraken to lose its knowledge of the sky and the sky. The concept of a more distant place outside. Although I often send some observers ashore, we have never had a superficial taste of the 'world of air'. Now this planet is controlled by humans, and the Kraken cannot live there, so I think if It would be very helpful to us if we could get a spacecraft from other civilizations. Not only can it be used for research, but it can also be used to educate the next generation of young sirens."
Then, Katrina pointed to the holographic model of the city. Since Nasatorn is located on a vast white beach, this location should be an open space: "In addition, we are also planning to build a new settlement next to Nasatorn. , which is about one-third the size of the current city or a little larger. Although the Kraken has never had a large population, after all these years, our city has become too crowded and is in urgent need of expansion. If we can get a With an ark like the one you mentioned, not only can we repair Nasatorn, we can also build another city with the remaining shell and building materials."
Only then did Hao Ren realize that the Siren Queen had so many plans. No wonder she agreed to lend her home star so readily - she urgently needed to expand her city and repair her spaceship, and those arks that suddenly appeared were a threat to her. If you are really sleepy, hand me a soft pillow. Anyway, it is impossible for her and her tribe to move back to Io in a short time, so they might as well just lend it out. This is equivalent to exchanging something that they can't use for the time being for a giant space ship!
"If you want to repair the city and build a new urban area, well, there is really nothing more suitable than a space ark," Hao Ren touched his chin, "But there is a problem - their ark is designed for space navigation, but I don’t plan to soak it in water. Although I think that the anti-rust performance of the ‘ten thousand year prison’ thing should be good, but can it really be used in Nasatorn?”
"Siren is very good at solving this problem," Katrina said, suddenly pointing to the table in front of Hao Ren, "Do you know where this table came from?"
Hao Ren lowered his head and glanced down. He saw that it was a long table with rounded lines. The material was not like metal, and it felt slightly warm to the touch: "Where did it come from?"
"It came from one of the broadsides of the Mary Rose, and a third of it came from the ship's keel, which a Kraken observer recovered as a souvenir from that ship, and then we analyzed the material at the molecular level. Reshape them and turn them into the material they are now." Katrina tapped the table lightly. "We have indeed lost a lot of technology, but we have retained a lot. As long as there is water, we can process almost any substance. And Haven’t you seen a lot of strange things on the streets of Nasatorn?”
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously muttered: "The strangest thing I saw along the way was those sea monsters..."
Katrina coughed twice: "Ahem, this is a special period...I mean those anchors, keel fragments, and various parts made by humans. They were all brought back by everyone when they traveled. Many of them are already there. With thousands of years of history, do we have a way to adapt them to the water environment?"
Hao Ren was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had never had the opportunity to pay attention to the abilities of the Kraken before. Only then did he realize that these deep-sea otakus were all national alchemists of the 18th level!
"Since you have this confidence, it's fine," Hao Ren stood up, "I can promise the ark on their behalf. But it will still take some trouble to bring that thing to the outside world. Although it will take a dead thing to There is no taboo in going out of the dream plane, but the size of the Ark is too big, so I have to make arrangements."
Katrina nodded lightly: "Of course. In addition, I have another request: I want to meet with those Ark representatives in person. After all, we are renting our home planet to a group of aliens, and I at least need to understand what those are. who."
This request is reasonable and reasonable, and was part of Hao Ren's original plan: "Of course there is no problem with this. I am an intermediary. When the time comes to formally sign the contract, it would be better for your representatives to meet directly. But I have to remind you: the civilization in the Ark It’s been a long time, and there is only one human being who still knows about the situation of the fleet, and he is the only one who can understand what we are saying, so the so-called representative of the Ark is that person. The other residents can almost be said to be in primitive society, a bit..."
"Barbaric?" Caterina looked at Hao Ren's hesitant expression and immediately guessed what he was going to say. "I can guess what he looked like, but it doesn't matter. I have come across the most superstitious Dutch pirates and pirates. The most rude privateer fleet in the Middle Ages, but now only a thousand years have passed, and the descendants of those people have learned to wear suits and ties and eat with knives and forks. Barbarism has never been a problem, even ignorance is not a problem, time will teach mankind everything."
After finishing the business talk, Hao Ren stretched out for a long time. He was really not used to this kind of situation that required him to be serious from beginning to end. Even though he was looking at a mermaid queen who could turn into a torpedo to scare people, he was not used to it, so At this time, after talking about things, he relaxed immediately. Vivian glanced at Hao Ren in surprise: "Did nothing happen to your mouth this time? I should have known I wouldn't follow you."
"An accident?" The Siren Queen looked over curiously.
Hao Ren was halfway stretched when Vivian pushed back with a word, and his waist almost went into his stomach: "Ahem, it's okay, it's okay... She was just joking."
"You guys have such a good relationship," the Siren Queen smiled gently, "It's rare to come here, so in the next time, you can experience the Sirens' festival. I believe this will be a very new experience for you. "
"It must be new. When you turned into a torpedo and rushed over, my whole world view changed." Hao Ren's mouth twitched, "But I have to find the cat, dog, and fish trio at home first. The three of them are If you don't look at it, you might know something is going to happen."
Soon Hao Ren and Vivian returned to the hall. The situation here was still the same as before, with demons dancing around. All kinds of weird things were swimming around here, and it seemed that the shapes of the sirens had also changed. I don’t know how many creative ideas these happy guys have yet to use. Anyway, based on what humans have thrown into the sea over the years, these sirens can transform into the next year even if they transform every ten minutes!
Katrina soon disappeared into a chaotic group of sea monsters, while Hao Ren searched for traces of the family's naughty children and adults. As a result, before he had time to look for it, he suddenly heard the scream of a certain sea monster not far away: "Ah! Someone bites me!"
Hao Ren's heart trembled and he guessed that the trio of cats, dogs, fish, and bears were causing trouble. He turned around and saw that it was true: not far away, he saw Shakira screaming and running over. The unlucky sea monster's tail was clearly hanging. Silly cat figure!
The stupid cat didn't know what was wrong with it, so it hugged the fish tail and gnawed on it. It refused to let go even after being tossed around in the water. The unlucky Shakeela was scurrying around in the water as if on stimulants, with a cat girl hanging on her tail whose mind had been confused by the smell of fish, and the scene was immediately in chaos.
Hao Ren's head grew bigger at that time - he should have thought of this earlier, and should have found a rope to tie the cat to the door frame!
