Chapter 895 - Value Area
The abnormal area in the north of the desert peninsula is connected to the alkaline freshwater ocean of Mercury. It is almost bottomless and there is no light around it. Only a small amount of self-luminous plankton can be seen occasionally.
The sovereignty of the desert peninsula, which has always lacked fresh water, does not care about alkalinity or not, as long as it is fresh water. Therefore, water is pumped from the abnormal area and transported continuously into the depths of the desert, and in a very short time, a large inland lake is created.
However, the lake water is still weakly alkaline, and the desert itself is also alkaline, so there is no need to worry about some strange chemical reactions.
But when the water gushed out in large quantities, it brought out some strange things.
It was originally thought that Mercury was in the ocean period of the original life, but suddenly a series of huge "balloons" emerged from the deep sea, overturning the previous speculation.
To be precise, that string of "balloons" should be a group of about six marine plant air sacs with the largest diameter of about 30 meters and the smallest diameter of ten meters. The thickness of the sac wall is about 5-20 centimeters, transparent and extremely tough. Even though it has turned a withered yellowish color, its strength has not decreased much, and it can even withstand close-range continuous shooting from light gunpowder weapons.
The air sacs contain air and oxygen, which can be breathed by carbon-based organisms, and the whole plant seems to have the ability to absorb gas from water and react with carbon dioxide to decarbonize it.
The six air sacs are connected in a string by thick hollow stems, just like grapes. The inner diameter of the tough stems is as large as four meters and as small as half a meter. There are friction marks on the inner wall left by biological activities, which means that this alkaline deep-sea air sac plant does not grow independently, but is a deep-sea plant with associated or symbiotic properties.
The reason why this part of the withered stump floated up is that the seeds that had been nurtured for more than a hundred years finally matured. After rising to the sea level, they were catalyzed by the light source, and the seed shell that was as hard as steel became crispy, and a green bud naturally emerged. It can adapt not only to fresh water, but also to salt water. Therefore, it can be judged that there is a high-salinity saltwater layer inside the ocean of Mercury. This water layer with significantly different salt concentrations also exists in the ocean of the Blue Star and is not uncommon.
The young shoots grew extremely fast after being accelerated to grow. In less than three days, they had grown to more than ten meters long. The main stem was more than one foot in diameter and began to branch continuously. Small blister-like bumps appeared on the vine-like stems, which would become air sacs of different sizes in the future.
After decoding some gene fragments, scientists found that the growth cycle of this alkaline deep-sea plant is 8000 hours. The growth rate is extremely fast in the first cycle, and begins to halve in the second cycle. It also halves again in the third cycle until the fifth cycle begins, and then enters a stable period in which it slowly increases its strength. It also maintains a strong branching ability and can easily grow a large number of air sacs, with the number not less than 100. The diameter of the air sacs is not necessarily 30 meters. The life cycle of the whole plant is about 1000 years. It will mature every hundred years, break off the small number of air sacs containing mature seeds, and allow them to slowly float up, germinate with the help of stellar light, and then sink into the deep sea again, reproducing over and over again.
From a certain perspective, this plant can almost become a natural marine habitat. If used properly, even humans can live in it. It’s just that we don’t know how big it will eventually grow. Maybe it will grow into an underwater city, so it was named Ryuguensis.
Although a plant of the extremely valuable alkaline marine plant larvae, Rhodon, was harvested, it is only one of the many undiscovered specialty resources of Mercury. Moreover, this abnormal area, which represents a corner of Mercury, is difficult to explore in depth. There is no top and no bottom in sight. Just trying to confirm the depth, it has reached more than 50,000 meters, but there is still no sign of bottoming out.
This is still the case without approaching the water surface. After all, the abnormal area only captures part of the depth of Mercury, not the complete sea area.
Compared with the abnormal area of Giant Ao Star within the sovereign territory of Persia where Chen Fei took the opportunity to forcibly seize the right of entry and exit, the abnormal area of Ordovician Star in the Galilee Peninsula of the northern continent of America and the abnormal area of Water God Star in the northern part of the Desert Peninsula, which have no S-level supernatural power to "isolate" and blockade, are completely "leaky" on all sides and are illegally invaded by adventurers unscrupulously, as if they were in an empty land. The local sovereignty is completely out of control. To be precise, it should be impossible to stop them. Even if the sovereign army arrives and stations there, they are still powerless.
The performance of the garrison was not much better than that of the Persian sovereign army. All of them also wanted to make a fortune, but unfortunately there was no window of "isolation" reserved, so they could only cheat some uninformed people for a few dollars, and they could not get any big money at all.
Especially in the abnormal area of Aquaman, there is a natural entry barrier. If you don’t have professional diving equipment, you can only rely on water ability and diving skills.
The alkaline fresh water all over the place is enough to stop most adventurers, so the exploration value of Aqua is the lowest.
However, for now, the most valuable of the three abnormal areas is the abnormal area of the Giant Ao Star within the sovereignty of Persia. Unfortunately, Chen Fei is very strong and will not listen to anyone. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be directly attacked by the main gun of the flying ship. The shells fired at several times the speed of sound are even thicker than a person's waist. If an ordinary A-level or higher-level psychic is prepared, he will be hit by one of them and will die. If he is not prepared, even a heavenly-level psychic will not be able to withstand it.
What's more, there is an S-level space ability user on the side who can help lock him down. He won't be able to escape at all.
With the help of external forces, Chen Fei's fighting power cannot be underestimated.

While checking the various crystals that had been put into storage, Chen Fei heard Sanhao Xuesen muttering to himself.
It had been three days, and the monk still hadn't recovered from the negative emotion of stepping on a landmine. He looked distraught from morning till night, and even broke three teapots. At least eighteen of the exquisite little tea cups were destroyed. If the charcoal fire had not been so weak, even his robe might have been burned, and he would have really set himself on fire.
But most of the time, the monk always forgot to light the charcoal fire, and instead used cold water to make tea. He drank the tasteless tea without even noticing it.
The S-class psychic Herseman Brown, who was called back temporarily, could not stand the nagging in his ears. He scratched his head and complained: "What is this monk mumbling all day long? It's endless!"
A lost head is just a scar the size of a bowl. Even if a monk has offended a big shot, the only consequence is death. Be more conscious and shoot yourself in the head, or cut your belly, and be done with it. There is no need to worry about it. You will only scare yourself.
If he really wanted to kill people to silence them, not even Heseman Brown could stop him. There were more than one S-level psychics in the world, and almost all of them obeyed the will of their own sovereign. There might be someone who was particularly good at assassination. Monk Sanyo's A-level dark ability was far from enough.
"Time is the best medicine. It will be fine in a few days."
Chen Fei heard Mr. Brown's complaints, but he had no intention of comforting the monk.
First, even with the assistance of the artificial intelligence AI "Adam", he is still very busy every day. He needs to collect data on the specialty resources of the Giant Ao Star, keep an eye on the automated analysis of the independent laboratory, establish or adjust the mission projects and progress of the Emerald Star Base at any time, occasionally ask the young engineers of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group about the completion of the crystal energy jet project, and make structural and functional adjustments to the giant flying ship from time to time.
Second, monks are adults and have seen a lot of wind and rain. They should know how to adjust themselves. Even if they really have concerns in this regard, it is not a big deal to huddle here and hatch chicks. They should find a safe place to hide until they are indistinguishable from the crowd and have completely avoided the limelight.
Third, if you don’t want to be implicated by the monk, don’t act like a saint and get yourself into trouble for no reason.
The monk pricked up his ears at some point and overheard the conversation between Chen Fei and the S-class psychic Herseman Brown. He immediately protested in anger, "You're talking so lightly. If you were there at the time, do you think you can get away with it now?"
He himself is a professional shady worker, so of course he knows very well how horrible it is. He would be thankful if he could get away with it quickly, for he would be afraid of a fate worse than death.
"Hehehehehehe..." ×2
The other two looked at each other and laughed lightly with gloating.
