National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"Ahem..." Pei Canghai's expression behind him was somewhat subtle.

"Besides intelligence support, logistical support is equally important... especially in terms of personal quality of life, don't neglect yourself."

"so......"

The first elderly man with a neatly braided hairstyle stepped forward.

The electronic screen he held up displayed several ornate Song-style characters, accompanied by an extremely complex-looking picture of a dish.

【Dragon's Roar Across the Four Seas】

Main ingredients: Crimson Naga flesh (preferably with tendons), Sea Dragon Heart (sliced)

[Additional ingredients: Barnacles (with the slime removed), high-concentration digestive juice (trace amount, purified for flavoring)...]

[Cooking Steps: First, ensure the ingredients are completely deactivated before cooking to prevent them from jumping out of the pot...]

Any: "..."

His expression was somewhat complicated.

Pei Canghai waved his hand, and a girl who looked quite young with bright eyes squeezed forward and excitedly held up her screen.

Deep Sea Pearl Pastry

Main ingredients: Pearl sticks, mutant scallops (pearls extracted and ground into powder), transparent cartilage (extracted, used as a substitute for gelatin)

[Additives: Fluorescent glands (trace amounts, capable of emitting light), transparent biofilm (replacing glutinous rice paper)]

[Cooking Steps: When activating the Sun's Heart, place the Luna Titanium Alloy β mold on the deck. Eat in small bites; it contains a bursting filling, so be careful as it may burn your mouth.]

"..."

Is this really something that carbon-based organisms could eat?

That's not all.

A refined woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses squeezed to the front.

She pushed up her glasses and said aloofly:

"Just an appetizer."

[The Ribs Who Look Down on the Abyss]

[Main ingredients: Abyssal Demon-Faced Barnacles (with detoxification glands), highly active regenerative body fluid, sea dragon bone (cut into 1-inch pieces).]

[Side ingredients: mashed potatoes, mashed purple cabbage (juiced), and luminescent moss (for plating).]

On the animated image...

The "eyes" of those barnacles stared straight up at the sky, their deep green sap slowly dripping onto the purple ribs—a scene of great artistic merit.

Great, Nathan might like it.

Seeing Ren Yi's blank stare, Pei Canghai coughed lightly:

"Ahem... The logistics R&D team has a rather advanced approach, focusing more on the ultimate extraction and conversion of nutrients. They believe that these highly active ingredients contain abundant energy... We must understand the exploratory spirit of scientific researchers."

Next, several more recipes that looked a bit crazy, but somehow made sense, were presented.

For example, the "Stars Return to Their Place - Thick Soup" and the "Dynamic Vitality" dish that twitches after being served.

......

Finally, a burly man pushed through the crowd and shoved his screen to the front, displaying a bold picture of charcoal grilling.

【Deadly Urumqi Beer】

【Main ingredients: Giant suckers (active), wine-soaked octopus legs】

[Additional Ingredients: Corrosive glands mixed with a small amount of fish oil (secret sauce), luminescent biological fluid]

[Cooking steps: Skewer, heat over high heat, brush with secret sauce, delicious! Chewy! Superb!]

Ten seconds left on the countdown.

The group of people on the other side of the screen were looking at him with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

He thought he would laugh... but he didn't.

He nodded solemnly at the sincere face on the other side of the screen.

"Thank you, I'll give it a try."

These seemingly absurd recipes, for Renyi, are telling him—we are with you.

[Communication ended.]

He remained motionless for a long time, maintaining the posture as long as the light curtain had not yet dissipated.

Those recipes were so bizarrely styled, it was like he was still in a crazy dream, and the animated GIFs he had painstakingly edited to look and smell delicious were still swirling in his mind, causing an uncontrollable smirk to appear on his lips.

Moved?

...I dare not move!

Because in this rare moment of peace and joy, a strong gaze came from the right!

Ren Yi didn't move, but slowly turned his eyes...

Less than half a meter to his right, a fist-sized blue eyeball was staring intently at him, while translucent root-like tendrils—or rather, legs—writhed restlessly in place...

It felt like my legs went numb from squatting for too long.

?

Isn't that the missing blue-eyed boy?!

How long has it been watching here?

I thought this thing either died during the ship's evolution or when it was powered on, but I never expected...

He turned his body with the almost frozen speed of a sloth, millimeter by millimeter, leaning forward inch by inch... his hands silently opened, like a cheetah preparing to hunt.

The blue eyeball met his gaze, rolled around once, seemingly curious about what the two-legged creature was doing.

Getting closer...

Closer...

Just as each foot landed on the ground, one in front of the other, ready to exert force—

"Squeak—"

The door leading to the cabin was suddenly pushed open.

"Boss, are you asleep? About that thing you said about growing fruit on the boat..."

As soon as Nathan's voice rang out, Renyi's movements instantly switched from 0.01x speed to 32x speed, and he lunged forward!

"Smack."

However, somehow that blue eyeball did it.

With a "whoosh," the blue shadow flashed and instantly disappeared into the shadow beneath the floating control panel, as if it had never existed!

So when Nathan fully pushed the door open...

They saw their usually calm and composed Captain Ren Yi lying on the ground in a standard tiger-like hunting posture, with his hands still in a grasping position.

"..."

He stopped in his tracks.

Renyi immediately got up from the ground without changing his expression and smiled at Nathan at the door:

"morning."

Nathan glanced instinctively at the pitch-black sky and the dazzling starry sky outside, and then silently hid the pearl stick behind his back.

"......morning."

......

at the same time.

In a territory unknown, over 100 nautical miles away, in a simple but sturdy wooden house, the roaring fire in the fireplace cast three shadows on the wooden wall.

"...Then my mom cried and said she'd make me my favorite pineapple pie when I got back!"

The excitement on his face hadn't faded yet.

The scattered freckles seemed to leap with each gesture.

After chattering away about his rare time with his family, he took a breath and looked expectantly at the other two people in the room:

"Luigi, Ms. Park, what about you? Have you contacted your families?"

The silent young man in the corner revealed a warm smile. "Not bad."

He spoke softly, then stood up.

"It's late, I'm going to rest now."

The moment he turned his back to the fire and his companions, the smile on his face vanished without a trace, leaving only an unyielding gloom.

Esting scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Ms. Park?"

He called out somewhat uneasily.

She was wrapped in a blanket the whole time, and remained motionless with her back to them.

"If you keep making noise, I'll kill you."

Startled, Esther immediately shut his mouth.

o(＞﹏＜)o Women are so scary!!
