Learn one small skill every day

"Yes!"

Almost all departments started working, and even though Bai Miao still didn't announce that the Endless Energy had entered the circulation zone, the atmosphere on the ship made Wang Xiang feel a little nervous.

"We've entered a cycle. If nothing unexpected happens, the captain will be frantically searching for a way to break this deadlock. If you have any good ideas, feel free to share them, and we'll find an opportunity to give the captain some advice."

To be honest, Wang Xiang was also helpless.

If you can't even realize that you're stuck in a cycle, how can you expect to find a way out?

He subconsciously believed that the captain had the ability to lose his memory after the time restart.

Wang Xiang couldn't think of a solution for the time being, and the others naturally did whatever they could, but Zhuo Xinzhi suddenly replied.

"I think I've discovered something."

"what?"

"The captain's secretary just came to the R&D department. He said he wanted to help with the research on that anti-gravity cube. The minister was reluctant to dismantle it, but now he's doing it with great enthusiasm, as if he knows exactly what kind of research to do... Wait, I was called in to help. They told me this is the fourth cycle. I helped with some of the experiments in the previous cycles!"

Wang Xiang said somewhat helplessly, "I feel like we must have had these conversations in the previous two times, but we obviously can't remember anything."

"What should we do then?"

"See if you can ask that secretary what happened in the previous few times. We can't just sit here and wait to die. We should do as much as we can get in this cycle. Little by little, we'll eventually succeed."

"Okay... I'll try to ask, but this secretary has a bad temper, and I'm not sure if I can get any information out of her."

After a while, Zhuo Xinzhi said, cursing, "This woman really doesn't say anything. She just told me not to try to do two things at once and to focus on the experiment."

"Alright, everyone get back to what you were doing. See you in the next cycle."

Wang Xiang takes it all in stride.

Since I have no memory of it, I always make the same choices; it all depends on what the secretary does.

On the other hand, Bai Miao also faced immense pressure.

The surveillance footage from last night showed that there were a staggering ten anomalies!

Bai Miao still told Emma about the unusual number he had encountered that night.

"Captain, the number of anomalies and their serial numbers are different from last time."

"Do I always ask you to remember the numbers?"

"Yes, that shows that things have gone a bit off, but... I was surprised that you were able to find ten anomalies."

Emma rarely praises people, but Bai Miao's ability to accurately identify ten anomalies made her increasingly believe that the captain was gradually regaining his memories and abilities.

Bai Miao now feels scared looking at a bunch of LV4 skills.

Because I had no idea what level 1 of these skills was like, and suddenly it became level 4, it was terrifying.

Aside from skills like identifying fish and algae, Bai Miao found skills like ship handling and underwater vision to be quite useful.

The most unexpected thing was that the mechanical expertise reached LV5.

This is a skill I drew when I first entered the Deep Sea Legacy dungeon, and I got it again on the second day of the cycle.

Originally, this mechanical expertise wouldn't have allowed Bai Miao to discern the ship's structure, but now Bai Miao felt that the ship appeared to him as a simple combination of triangles and squares.

Countless triangles combine to form the Endless Energy.

This ship wasn't pieced together; it was a single unit from the very beginning!

Bai Miao came up with the idea of ​​3D printing.

Noah used an unimaginable manufacturing process to make the Infinite Energy into a single, seamless piece.

Even Emma and the others might have been created in this way.

Unfortunately, Emma was wearing a uniform, so Bai Miao couldn't see her anatomy.

Bai Miao noticed the weariness in Emma's eyes and made her a cup of tea.

"Emma, ​​sit down and rest for a while."

"But the R&D department's experiments..."

"Just wait until you have the results before you record the conclusions. You need to relax; you're under too much pressure."

Emma took the teacup: "I'm fine. I'm not as fragile as humans."

"What you're actually worried about is that this cycle will continue hundreds or thousands of times, and you yourself will be trapped in the cycle for thousands or thousands of years, right?"

Emma didn't answer; she simply closed her eyes.

What comes to mind is that for tens of thousands of years, every day at 2:00 AM, I would step into the monitoring room and see nothing but piles of minced flesh. After cleaning it up, I would face the same faces and hear the same moving chunks of flesh in the morning.

And this piece of meat will turn back into rotten meat in no more than a month.

This has been the case for tens of thousands of years.

But two months ago, everything changed.

The newly arrived piece of meat found its missing part and had been sitting in that spot for two months.

Today, for the first time ever, ten abnormal situations were resolved.

Perhaps he can also liberate you from your own cycle?

Just before dawn when all the parts were recovered, the cycle began.

Emma was terrified of being trapped in the cycle for tens of thousands of years again.

“Emma, ​​give a little confidence to all the ministers on the Endless Energy, all the crew, yourself, and me.”

Bai Miao put his hand on Emma's shoulder: "On the first day you met me, did you ever think I would successfully find two accessories?"

Emma looked down at her face reflected in the tea: "No."

“But I’ve found it. You may not see any hope of breaking the deadlock right now, but I’m telling you clearly, we definitely won’t linger here for too long.”

"I will do my job well."

Emma finished her tea in one gulp, and her eyes regained their sparkle.

This time, when passing through the area where fishermen frequented, Bai Miao took a look and found that the fisherman he had initially chatted with was nowhere to be found.

"Captain, there is a light in the sea."

At the same time, Bai Miao also received a message from the Operations Management Department.

Can you determine what kind of light source it is?

"Damn it! It's an anglerfish! Attack! Drive it away!!"

"The security department went to sea to provide support, while the operations management department was attacked by anglerfish."

Now that Emma is no longer there to help, and no minister is on duty, Bai Miao sits alone in the captain's office, ready to handle any emergencies.

This sea area has a very big problem.

The anglerfish's offensive was quickly repelled, and the surface of the sea was littered with the carcasses of anglerfish, each over twenty meters long and with glowing organs on their heads over a meter long.

"Shouldn't these things be active at night?"

Bai Miao already knows the habits of most fish in Terra very well, and he could easily dissect a fish.

That's why Bai Miao felt something was off.

Anglerfish stay at a depth of 1,000 meters or less during the day and only rise to the surface at night to impersonate ships and attract other lost vessels.

Bai Miao informed Emma of any suspicious points as soon as he discovered them, and they would be analyzed in the next cycle.

Whales leap out of the water in groups, at strange heights... Anglerfish come up from the seabed during the day.

All the suspicions seemed to point to the seabed.

The meteorite fell directly into the sea. Could it have caused some kind of accident?

On the seventeenth day of the fourth cycle, Bai Miao and his companions encountered another group of giant jellyfish.

Each jellyfish has tentacles over 100 meters long and an umbrella-shaped cap with a diameter of 30 meters.

The jellyfish gathered in front of the course, densely covering the entire sea area. Forcibly crashing into them would easily cause their tentacles to get tangled together. Furthermore, these jellyfish can release highly corrosive toxins before they die. Although the Endless Energy ship's hull will not be affected, this sea area will most likely become a toxic zone.

"Just charge straight through! Oh my god, remember, charging straight through might cause a reboot!"

These jellyfish shouldn't be at sea level either. What happened in the deep sea that made so many deep-sea species rush to the surface?

It's a real shame that the Endless Energy doesn't have submarine capabilities; otherwise, it could have explored the ocean depths from a different angle.

The massive ship, like a sharp blade, tore a path through the jellyfish-swarming sea, and dark green liquid flowed into the ocean, emitting a foul, acidic smell.

……

"Captain, the fifth cycle has begun."

"Five times already...?"

"Let's convene a ministerial meeting first, and I'll give you a brief overview of the previous meetings."

"it is good."

Bai Miao stared intently at the Zero Hour Lock in his inventory.

After the first four cycles, the Zero Time Lock finally reached its maximum durability!

This means that you will be able to retain your memories in subsequent cycles!

What Emma recounts is certainly different from her own personal experience.

The two cannot be together all the time. Emma has her perspective, and I have another perspective.

At the same time, Bai Miao also learned how he obtained the Zero Hour Lock in the first place.

[Active Skill 3: Consumes 90% of durability, allowing the holder to find a specific time anchor point within the past year and engage in dialogue with the holder of the current time anchor point. The information entropy transmitted each time is limited.]

If the anchor holder does not possess the Timeless Lock, the Timeless Lock will be transferred to the anchor. During the transfer, items with a certain range of information entropy may be added.

Note 1: If a future message is received, it will consume 20% of the durability to parse it into understandable text. (Only effective at 100% durability)

Note 2: A time anchor point refers to a point in time that significantly impacts the decisions made by the holder and has a significant effect on the present.

Note 3: This action will not affect the current holder's development.

Zero Time Lock has two passive skills and three active skills, all of which are related to time.
