"There are several companies in Debsota that manufacture aether ramjet thrusters, such as BRM, CIVA, GD, etc., but who invented it..."
When Yaha said this, he frowned slightly, "Actually, when I had a lot of money, I planned to build a boat of my own in the future, so I studied this aspect specifically."
Xia Ye nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"But in the end, the answer I found was... Until a few years ago, no scholar in Debsota had conducted research in this area. The concept of aether ramjet thrusters originally came from the headquarters of "Aether Exploration".
"About two years ago, "Ether Exploration" convened the heads of several large manufacturing plants for an unknown meeting. Shortly thereafter, these manufacturing plants held press conferences one after another, announcing that they had developed a device that could be used in the ether sea. A new type of machine that propels ships to sail at high speeds, that is, the ether ramjet thruster appears in front of everyone for the first time.”
It seems that there is some inside story about this matter? Xia Ye thought to herself.
But whatever. No matter how this thing was invented, as long as it works. What was urgent now was to go to sea, hunt whales, and pay off the overdraft.
She looked at Yaha: "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved on this ship?"
Yaha shook his head, his expression unable to conceal his excitement: "This is the best whale boat I have ever seen."
"Then I have no other opinion." Xia Ye has always adhered to the principle of "let professional people decide on professional matters."
Chrissy breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face.
Xia Ye looked at her and suddenly said: "You are more efficient than I thought."
This sentence sounds like a compliment at first, but it seems to mean something else.
Chrissy understood immediately, and she slowly put away her smile: "I have dug a big hole in the company for this ship. I hope you can really hunt that whale. Otherwise, by the end of this month, I can only Trying to find a way to escape."
"Even then, you can still take revenge." Xia Ye said.
"But people are always greedy. If possible, of course they hope to get more things." Chris said. She now clearly wants to take back the company more than destroy it.
"It seems you have a little more confidence in us than last time?"
"She is a very good captain, and now I think everything she said is true." Chris pointed at Yaha with her eyes, "Those bugs in the company have made a mistake."
Xia Ye found that she had also made a mistake. Chris's almost flattering attitude confused her when they first came into contact with her. It was only now that this person's edge was revealed bit by bit.
Thinking about it this way, her shabby hairstyle looked even more eye-catching.
"When I come back from whaling, you can come with me and get a haircut."
"???" Chris couldn't understand at all why the topic suddenly jumped here.
But Xia Ye had already looked at Yaha: "When do you think we can go to sea soon?"
"The day after tomorrow. The first mate, second mate, gunner, lookout... and other crew members have basically been recruited. Hehe, many people were unwilling at first, but I pulled them over to secretly visit the ship, and they all Changed my mind. If it can be completed tomorrow, we will get on the ship immediately to prepare, and by the evening of the day after tomorrow, we will be able to complete all preparations."
"I suggest you set sail in the middle of the night so that there is less noise." Chris suggested.
Hearing what she said, Xia Ye couldn't help but wonder how she managed to hide it from the company, but she knew that even if she asked now, Chris would not tell her truthfully.
"How about we set sail at 2 o'clock the day after tomorrow?"
"No problem." Yaha nodded heavily.
"There's one more thing." Chris suddenly said.
"What?"
"It's almost a brand new ship. Give it a name and I'll let the workers paint it on." Chris paused and added: "Everyone says that a good name will bring good luck."
Xia Ye didn't expect that she could still win this honor. She quite liked the feeling of being able to name the ship despite not being the real owner.
She thought about it carefully.
Since we are going out to sea to hunt whales, and we are hunting a white whale, then it is called...
"Call it 'Moby Dick'." She said a name that was completely unfamiliar to Yaha and Chris.
…
Dinner was roasted tide spider and a soup made from dome wheat with a few vegetables.
Although the Tide Spider is called a "spider", it is actually a crab-like creature that is as big as a small basin. Lilian carefully peeled off half of the shell of each leg, revealing the golden and burnt fragrance. Just looking at the meat makes people feel very appetizing.
Xia Ye grabbed a leg, opened her lips slightly, tore off a small bite like a lady, and chewed slowly.
The taste is a bit like crab meat, sweet and slightly salty at the same time. The texture is very tender at first, and you will feel the toughness of the texture after chewing it twice. Although the tide spider looks ugly, it tastes surprisingly good.
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Xia Ye suddenly asked after swallowing the spider meat.
"Eh?"
Lillian looked confused. If it was Yaha who had already experienced this routine, she would be mentally prepared at this time: when Xia Ye said this, there was bad news to tell her.
"Then...I'll hear the good news first..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Ye interrupted her: "I'd better tell you the bad news first, so that you will feel better when you hear the good news."
"Oh, okay, okay." Lilian nodded obediently.
"The bad news is: I'm going to the Ether Sea. I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Xia Ye said.
Lilian was stunned for a moment.
A few seconds later, the girl's eyes turned red. Although she desperately tried to control her emotions, when she spoke, her voice still contained a cry:
"S-Sister Xia Ye...are you ready to leave Debso Tower?"
"No." Xia Ye chuckled and shook his head, "So here's the good news: I'm just going to help someone hunt a whale, and I'll be back in about two or three weeks."
"Huh?!"
"What's wrong? Did you just think you would never see me again?" Xia Ye asked with a smile.
"Oh... um... I almost thought Sister Xia Ye was going to leave me." Lilian had tried her best not to cry just now, but now she relaxed and tears slipped out of her eyes, leaving traces on her fair cheeks. Under the crystal traces.
Xia Ye took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears, "So after hearing the good news, do you feel better?"
"Well...as long as sister Xia Ye doesn't abandon me."
"No, keep eating, these roasted spider legs are so delicious."
"Hehe... I will make another way. I'll give it to Sister Xia Ye to try next time..."
The two chatted while eating. When a tide spider was about to finish eating, Lilian suddenly said "ah".
"What's wrong?" Xia Ye asked.
"Well, Sister Xia Ye." Lilian narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at her: "You just wanted to tell me that because you had something to go to the Aether Sea, you had to leave for a full two weeks, no, three weeks, right?"
You finally came to your senses, Xia Ye thought.
"...If you want to sum it up like this, it's not impossible." She said innocently.
But Lillian will no longer be deceived by her: "So! Whatever good news or bad news is, it is just bad news! Fortunately, I was secretly rejoicing in my heart for so long, but I obviously never go home. Now you have to leave me for such a long time, and you still treat me like a fool...Sister Xia Ye is big! Bad! Asshole!"
Xia Ye tilted her head and looked at Lilian who was having a bad temper, with an expression on her face that made her want to laugh but was embarrassed.
As she looked at it, her eyes couldn't help but shift to her wrist.
There was a number there that she remembered clearly: -9885
Recently, she looked at her wrist more and more often.
I hope this whale hunt goes well...otherwise you really won't be able to see me. Xia Ye thought silently.
