Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

To speed things up, Su Wang opted to deploy all personnel from the air and sea warships.

The fleet, now numbering 2 ships, is divided into 10 squadrons of 2 ships each, each squadron capable of destroying the contaminated aggregates.

However, the higher-dimensional pollution that appears after the aggregate is destroyed is something they cannot handle.

Fortunately, Su Wang was able to know the movement patterns of any squadron.

In addition, the reports from each squadron leader allowed him to know which areas had experienced high-dimensional pollution.

Each squadron that destroys the aggregate will immediately report to Su Wang and simultaneously tunnel away to escape the pollution and erosion of the high-dimensional contaminant.

Su Wangze, as the final cleanup agent, piloted the Death Heart to the target location and began the operation to eradicate the polluted high-dimensional existence.

With 20 fleets operating on multiple fronts, efficiency has been greatly improved, and the task of transporting 800 bodies a day is not impossible.

The consequence of this is a terrifying depletion of resources, especially fish coins.

2 air and sea warships are firing without limit every day, and Cao Ge and Di Anxuan are also going all out.

The daily war expenditures reached trillions of fish coins.

Without the integration of the entire safe sea area, it would be impossible to bear such terrifying losses.

Even with the full support of the entire safe sea area, this situation cannot be maintained for long.

This is a last-ditch effort, built up over a long period of time by depleting the resources accumulated in safe waters.

Not only that,

With the Fishermen Lords' strength enhanced, Su Wang increased his support after gaining full backing.

Both sides are accelerating the cleanup and treatment of pollution.

With Su Wang's involvement, the reduction of polluted sea areas has been greatly accelerated.

The area is reduced by at least 1% every day, and the cleaned-up polluted docks also help to disperse the pollution.

With such a large investment, the returns are obvious every day.

The seas, shrouded in endless black clouds, have returned to the realm of light after a long absence.

As Su Wang ventured deeper into the heavily polluted sea area to clean up the aggregates, he also continued to advance into the heart of the polluted waters.

However, after a month of the cleanup operation, the situation changed from good to bad, gradually developing in a more serious direction.

The further inward the fleet cleared, the denser the aggregates became, and some even occupied larger areas.

These polluting aggregates are more than five times larger than ordinary aggregates, and are extremely difficult to destroy.

A fleet of 2 ships each no longer has the ability to destroy it quickly.

Finally, several squadrons need to be assembled to meet the conditions for destruction.

When this type of aggregate was destroyed for the first time
Su Wang also personally piloted the Death Heart to the scene to prevent any accidents from happening.

After destroying the giant aggregate, the result was exactly as Su Wang had expected; things were indeed different.

The resulting high-dimensional pollution is even larger, its height almost reaching into the dark clouds.

The pollution it produces is even more terrifying.

The purification armor that blocks the invasion of pollution can only last for half an hour, after which it needs some time to recover.

Of the squadrons that destroyed the giant aggregate at the time, one squadron was not under the protection of the purification armor.

Su Wangben thought that after the fleet destroyed the aggregate, it would immediately tunnel away and there shouldn't be any major problems.

After all, this has been how we've been getting by for almost a month.

However, the instant an even greater, higher-dimensional phantom of pollution appeared...
The fleet that activated its purification armor immediately and successfully evacuated through the tunnel.

However, the squadron, which lacked armor protection, did not proceed with the planned tunnel evacuation but instead remained suspended in place.

After discovering this anomaly, Su Wang immediately contacted the squadron leader, but received no response for a long time.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Wang immediately deployed a refracting matrix onto the fleet.

He only managed to contact the squadron leader when the matrix took effect.

The fleet was immediately ordered to tunnel through and evacuate.

Only then did they expend far more faith fuel than they would annihilate a typical polluted high-dimensional being, to destroy this even larger polluted high-dimensional being.

This much larger, higher-dimensional pollutant, after being obliterated, actually resulted in a 0.01% reduction in pollution.

Destroying just one body is equivalent to destroying 10 bodies of normal, high-dimensional pollution.

It wasn't until Su Wang asked the squadron leader afterward that he understood their situation.

At the instant that a far greater, higher-dimensional phantom of pollution appeared, they seemed to suddenly see countless eyes and tentacles.

They felt as if another being had appeared in their souls, and after that, they knew nothing more.

When he finally regained consciousness, all he could feel was a blinding white light.

Then they received a notification from Su Wang that the entire squadron had to tunnel away from their original location.

Through this inquiry, Su Wang had already made a deduction.

Perhaps everyone on that fleet had already been contaminated at that time.

However, he reacted quickly enough and immediately activated the Mirror Matrix to purify the area.

This is why the squadron was able to escape the pollution and tunnel away from the original location.

Upon learning of this situation, Su Wang immediately informed Cao Ge and Di Anxuan.

After all, neither of them had Su Wang's ability to purify pollution in a timely manner.

If their special fleets were to encounter each other, they would likely suffer severe losses.

Similarly, this also raised Su Wang's vigilance, and he instructed all squadrons to ensure that they were within the protection time of the purification armor when cleaning up such large polluting aggregates.

The discovery of this even more terrifying, higher-dimensional pollution is a discovery with both positive and negative aspects.

The good thing is that destroying one corpse is equivalent to destroying ten.

On the downside, it is even more dangerous.

Su Wang even worried that as the cleanup went deeper, there would be even more terrifying aggregates.

Cleaning up this aggregate requires ensuring the fleet is under the protection of the purification armor, which imposes certain limitations.

Moreover, it remains to be seen whether even the purification armor will be unable to prevent pollution and corrosion in the future.

...

The plan to clean up the aggregates continued in the time that followed.

However, some adjustments were made, and Su Wang also increased the scale of air and sea warships by another 1.

After all, the deeper you go, the more often you encounter giant aggregates.

Each giant aggregate requires a much larger fleet to conquer.

Although the increase in air and naval forces will make logistical costs more severe, it is a necessary measure out of necessity.

The problem is the terrifying logistical costs, which have led to complaints and discussions within the Clean World Alliance.

Even Elsa, as an affiliated ally, has repeatedly hinted that the dock lords within the Pisces Alliance have considerable grievances.

However, Elsa promised that she would do her best to maintain stability within the alliance and ensure logistical support.

Su Wang also knew that he had greatly underestimated the difficulty of cleaning up the polluted sea area.

When the polluted sea area has shrunk by more than 60%, the difficulty of cleanup is on a completely different level.

Most of the pollutant aggregates that can be discovered are already on an extremely large scale.

In the last two days, an even larger entity has been discovered, further increasing the difficulty of the cleanup.

This also affected his original plans.

The original plan was to achieve at least 1% of the polluted sea area remediation task every day.

However, the large-scale emergence of super-large polymers,

Su had no choice but to continue increasing the size of the fleet to ensure the progress of the project.

However, in this way,
The war costs, which should have been spread over 90 days, were instead reduced to a sudden surge in a short period.

The dock lords responsible for providing support have no time to catch their breath and accumulate resources, leading to constant complaints from many lords.

Seeing this, Su Wang couldn't help but feel grateful that he had chosen to help Elsa reclaim her throne. He was also glad that the new Pisces Queen was indeed a smart person.

If it were a selfish, foolish idiot...

If you trip him up a little at this point, or don't put in as much effort, it will be disastrous.

He really didn't have much extra time to reorganize the rear, which would most likely become the trigger for failure.

There is no turning back now.

Successfully managed to clean up and resolve all polluted sea areas before logistical support collapsed.

If they fail, they will naturally be unable to clean up the pollution in the world before the final rainy season arrives, and one of the conditions mentioned by "the fish" will not be met.

However, Su Wang also knew...
The current situation must be changed; at least some leeway must be allowed in the planning and arrangements.

He also had an idea of ​​a solution.

Since even larger pollution aggregates have emerged, the higher-dimensional pollution that is destroyed and erased has even greater benefits.

Could there be a polymer that could be considered the core of the pollution?

If such aggregates exist, then resolving the issue could potentially reduce the polluted marine area by a significant amount in one go.

This is equivalent to skipping the smaller monsters and going straight to the BOSS area when clearing a map, dealing with the BOSS first, and then clearing the easier smaller monsters.

Furthermore, based on Su Wang's observations over this period, the initial reduction of the polluted sea area has greatly helped in another aspect of pollution control.

Many of the polluted docks were originally located in moderately polluted sea areas, and have been amplified by the pollution.

The various negative effects and visibility impairments in the polluted sea area also made the expedition fleet's operations less convenient.

During the voyage, they were constantly attacked by strange fish.

However, as the polluted sea area shrank, many polluted docks were exposed outside the polluted sea area and were isolated by safe sea areas.

Cleaning up such polluted docks is much quicker and easier for expeditionary fleets, and the cleanup speed is also much faster.

It also allows for a redistribution and reduction of logistical support pressure, leaving room for respite.

Having formed an idea, Su Wang immediately prepared to go and check on its feasibility.

Since the deeper one goes into the polluted sea area, the larger the pollutant aggregates become.

So if we keep looking inward, we might find a "BOSS" level contamination aggregate.

Therefore, Su Wang stopped his cleanup mission for a day and prepared to pilot the Heart of Death to search for the target first.

The advantage of the Heart of Death's ability to fly became apparent at this time.

Flying high in the sky, the pollutant aggregates and pollutants on the sea surface pose no threat to the Heart of the Dead.

This is something that Cao Ge and Di Anxuan's vehicles cannot enjoy.

After each tunneling distance, Su Wang would activate the Faith Fuel to perform a radar scan.

The situation regarding the collection of contaminated polymers.

As long as the area of ​​the pollutant aggregate is not large enough, Su Wang will not choose to stay and will continue to tunnel into deeper waters.

After nearly half a day,
The area of ​​the pollutant aggregates detected has reached a terrifying level, exceeding that of ordinary pollutant aggregates by 20 times.

Furthermore, Su Wang discovered more than one aggregate of this size.

This means that an aggregate of this size cannot be considered his target "BOSS" level; at most, it can be considered elite level.

There must be even larger aggregates of pollution than this size.

As Su Wang continued to delve deeper, pollutant aggregates that were about 30 times larger than normal began to appear.

Around 50 times...

Around 80 times...

When the pollutant aggregates were examined to a size 80 times larger than normal, their numbers were found to be quite small.

Su Wang discovered that aggregates of this size were scattered relatively widely; typically, only one out of nearly a hundred polluting aggregates 50 times larger would exist.

This discovery delighted Su Wang.

A pollution aggregate about 80 times larger than the original could probably be considered a "mini-boss".

If you continue to delve deeper, you'll likely be close to your goal.

Even if the ultimate target cannot be found, cleaning up more of these polluting aggregates, which are 80 times larger than the target, should achieve some of the desired effect.

With the help of Beiyuan, Su Wang felt more confident and chose to continue the search in depth.

Even after several hours of continuous searching, the search still did not exceed the limit of 80 times the original size.

Su Wangdu doubted several times whether there was an even larger-scale existence.

However, just as he was thinking of making a few more trips, he made a new discovery after two more trips.

The 50-fold increase in pollutant polymers is no longer visible.

The density of the pollutant aggregates has also been greatly reduced.

What we can find are pollution aggregates that are 80 times larger than the scale, and even when traveling at high speed for a certain distance, we don't find many.

This unusual situation immediately piqued Su Wang's interest.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

The pollutants were denser the deeper you went, but here they are scarce.

Su Wang no longer chose to jump across distances, but instead maintained a high-altitude flight state so as not to miss any targets.

After sailing for nearly an hour, the number of aggregates detected by radar along the way became increasingly scarce.

The last aggregate detected was more than ten minutes ago.

Just then, a notification message suddenly appeared in Su Wang's eyes.

[Attention! We have reached the area of ​​origin of the pollution.]

Su Wang immediately perked up.

The origin of pollution?

It looks like we've reached the core area of ​​the polluted sea.

Su Wang didn't know how the pollution came about in this world, and even the natives of this world couldn't answer that question.

All that is recorded is that the red moon appeared at the beginning of the month, and the pollution began to spread.

And the "fish" never explained to him the origin of the pollution.

Perhaps the answer or some clues can be found here at the source of everything.

However, Su Wang piloted the Death Heart for nearly two hours without detecting anything.

Even the pollutant aggregates have disappeared.

The so-called origin of pollution is like an empty sea.

This puzzled Su Wang.

Could it be that I've misunderstood?
Or perhaps the origin of pollution doesn't exist in reality, but is in a higher dimension that is beyond our comprehension?

Just as Su Wang was filled with doubt, the fishing gear suddenly appeared in his hand without being summoned.

This made him pause for a moment.

"How did the fishing gear come to life?"

Su Wang was perfectly clear that he had not even considered summoning fishing gear just now.

This suggests that the emergence of fishing gear may have been summoned by another will.

The fishing gear belonged to Su Wang himself, and he had already advanced to the highest level.

Who else could summon his fishing gear without him even noticing?

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration struck Su Wang.

Could it be a "fish"?
But why did He summon the fishing gear for Himself?
What message are you trying to convey?
Why not use an information prompt method?

Su Wang was suddenly filled with confusion.
