Regarding the book that Jing Huang once threw to Luo Binhan, the second half of the prologue of "Where Does the Water Go" reads like this:
**
Please note that a world in which the laws of physics partially collapse would be potentially fatal to us.
I don't want to repeat that joke again. A 3 (garbled unit of measurement) Tavoa arthropod consciousness group charged towards a single pansapien individual, but was 'summoned' by an iron-based meteorite in about six seconds. It was completely destroyed within. The nightmare report about how Shan Shan suddenly changed his mind and decided to turn over after the expedition team's exploration was over has probably spread throughout the entire alliance. I will put these records in the appendix for you to read. And if you want to read more, please refer to the latest version of the "Mysterious Space Encyclopedia" published by the Gate City Editorial Department.
Any friend, as long as you still belong to a type of civilization (intellectual civilization), you need to face the entire world of the conventional species with the greatest, greatest, and greatest vigilance. Even though its inhabitants seem similar to us. Even the local climate seems to be pretty much the same. Even if they seem very backward, ignorant, arrogant and have tunnel vision.
Remember, it is not our hometown.
This is not home.

After reading the end of the article, Luo Binhan took a few deep breaths. He now felt that there was nothing he could not accept, so he continued reading. The following paragraphs follow the prologue:

About exploration:
We do not recommend that any first-class civilization use locally developed ships to explore the second-class civilization area, or the Yolu area, to any extent. A safer option is to purchase a 'magic ship' from the Capital of Thousands of Households, or Gate City, through the Alliance Express Channel, and hire corresponding operators and guides. A safer option is to purchase a modification service, which requires your civilization to have the ability to travel across the stars and travel long distances at faster than light speeds.
We do not recommend that any civilization or race that lacks faster-than-light navigation technology explore the Yolu Zone. This may lead to the reverse transmission of contagious and untreatable diseases to areas under your actual control. This can be fatal.
We do not recommend that any 'spiritual field manipulation', 'etheric manipulation', 'phlogiston excursion' or 'paranormal exponential stabilization' techniques be used in open law areas at the unexplored edge. This may lead to a compensation surge phenomenon that has no clear rules yet. This can be fatal.
We do not recommend that any ships that "belong" to your civilization itself in a legal or social sense (if the concept of private ownership exists in your society) are used for exploration. It is possible that as yet incompletely characterized negative memetic phenomena are transmitted via such social relationships. This can be fatal.

About the vessel:
A 'magic ship' is often considered to be some kind of backward device, sometimes even like a real ship that relies on density differences to sail on large water surfaces. It will be equipped with at least one propulsion device. The propulsion device most easily purchased in Gate City is called the 'Magic Helm', and its structure and function cannot yet be fully analyzed.
Along with the magic ship, you hire people who can provide power to the magic ship by making physical contact with the 'magic helm'. Its speed depends on the concentration of spiritual fields around it.
The magic ship has its own artificial gravity when sailing in the Yolu Zone. There will be a plane horizontally across the ship, with gravity pointing in both directions of this plane. An object falling through the plane of gravity will swing back and forth around the plane of gravity. Objects thrown 'overboard' will be affected by the ship's artificial gravity, orbiting the ship. Please refer to the appendix for empirical formulas for this type of phenomenon.
A magic ship's protective capabilities do not exceed the physical effectiveness of its exterior components. Please strengthen this 'magic ship' on your own. But modifying it (rather than just adding to it) can be dangerous. If you have any questions or thoughts about this, please consult the professionals you hire from Gate City.
We do not recommend reverse engineering or exploratory modifications to the Magic Ship without professional supervision. This can be fatal.

Luo Binhan put the book back in its place. Opposite him sat a smiling Momolo, and several flying insects with sparkles all over their bodies were hovering around him. They suddenly flew into the cabin after half a day of sailing, and their origin was unknown to Luo Binhan.
"Mr. Luo, do you want to play with them for a while?" Momolo asked.
Of course Luo Binhan refused. Those flying insects - in Momolo's words, they are flame spirits, a kind of elemental life - the sparks on their bodies are not decoration. As they passed by, Luo Binhan could clearly feel the air becoming warmer.
Even so, they were relatively harmless, especially compared to other creatures they encountered on their voyage. Two days ago, they passed a small mountain peak suspended in the air. The mountain peak was carved into the shape of a bearded human head, and hundreds of one-eyed flying fish emerged from it. Their heads were extremely large, with a The mouth is quite exaggerated, and when it is split open, the internal throat can be clearly seen.
Momolo told him that this fish is common in areas with high concentrations of phlogiston. They usually just chase passing ships, looking for dung or carrion to eat. But the situation is very different when there are too many.
"They are opportunists," Momolo said seriously. "Small gray fish are safer, but if you see species of other colors, Mr. Luo should be careful."
Sure enough, there were types with brown spots or white patterns in the fish school, and the latter were big enough to fit two or three adults. Luo Binhan didn't know how the Silence finally got rid of them, because he was driven back to the bottom of the boat by Jing Huang as soon as the fish appeared.
Now he was sitting in the familiar rotunda, and most things looked the same as before. But two things disappeared. The first was the illusion of the galaxy located in the center of the floor, and the second was ∈.
It took Luo Binhanpo a while to realize that ∈ had disappeared. He asked Momolo and learned that this was a normal phenomenon.
"This is a safety measure." Momolo said, "Mr. ∈ is in danger of being contaminated in the unprotected sea, so we have temporarily stopped the operation of the main engine."
"Don't you need him to sail the boat?"
"Mr. Xuanhong is sailing the ship now." Momolo replied.
He did not explain further, which puzzled Luo Binhan deeply. He really didn't see how Jing Huang sailed the boat. Momoluo therefore suggested that he read "Where the Water Goes" - it is said that it is an introductory guide for sailing on the Yolu Side. But Luo Binhan, who had read the first few chapters hastily, didn't feel that he understood anything. He only felt that he was in a huge chaos, which was both novel and annoying. To relieve his emotions, he slipped onto the deck after putting down his book.
The deck, as an important component of the ship's hull, is paved with thousand-year-old undead wood, which gives it a dark background color and achieves a perfect luster after being repeatedly painted with spiritual paint made from sinner's fat. It is both waterproof and fireproof, and at night when the light of the negative stars shines on the sea, its will-o'-the-wisps will occasionally dance on the deck. It was the resentful spirit living in the wood venting its madness and anger. Even so, they are still unable to escape and can only suffer in eternal silence.
The above is what Luo Binhan read about the "Silence" in "Famous Ships·Sinner's Ship·Pirates". When he stepped on the deck with his feet, he inevitably thought of the above words. It was a bit disgusting to him, but Momolo comforted him and said that there were many fallacies in the book.
The wooden board is hard and thick, and makes a dull sound when you step on it, like old wood that has become damp over time. Luo Binhan stepped on it to the side of the boat and looked down.
He saw the gaseous flames rolling like boiling water, expanding in all directions from the bottom of the ship, as endless as purgatory. This sea of fire can't be seen to the bottom, and the deeper it gets, the brighter it becomes. They seemed to be sailing through lava deep in the earth's core.
Luo Binhan sighed. He remembered the moment when he was thrown into the fire hole by the giant. At that time, there seemed to be an invisible round wall around the ship, isolating the sea water and the fire. At that moment, he clearly saw the twisted faults at the edge of the water and fire, and soon the ship was submerged in the intense blazing light.
After a second—or an endless amount of time—the ship rose from the fire. It floated on the silent and violent sea of phlogiston, swaying with the billowing flames during the three-day journey.
