"Senior 'Flintstone', please get up quickly. How can Ling Hao bear such a great gift from you?" The other party treated you with courtesy, but Ling Hao couldn't help but know how to count. If he really regarded himself as a descendant of the Holy King, he would imagine that the sea was full of people.
If it is your own territory, then you are really short-sighted. Thousands of years have changed, and people have changed. What kind of oath can have such a long validity period? Let alone the subordinates of your ancestors, they are your relatives. Ten years
No more meeting or kissing. No matter how loyal the Panshi clan is, the scene before them is obviously too much.
People must ask for something when they are polite. Ling Hao is a transparent person. How could he not feel what the intriguing operation of the "Flintstone" clan leader meant? But this played into Ling Hao's hands. Just ask for it.
, just afraid that they will have nothing else to ask for.
The others stayed on the "Stone Crab". Ling Hao, Zhu Xin and Tian Yong followed the "Flint Stone" into the "Titan City" of the Panshi clan. It is said to be a "city", but in fact, the interior is more like a complex hive."
There is no sea water in the Papua Matrix. The public areas and the residences of the upper-level tribes are relatively spacious, but the place where ordinary tribesmen stay is very cramped, almost like a hive. Naturally, there is no sunlight here, and the light source used is a kind of radiant light.
The stone with light red light dyed everything that people saw into red. It was the first time for Zhuxin to interact with the intelligent people on the seabed. She looked around very curiously, and her eyes were almost exhausted. She
Although the number of times she went to sea with Ling Hao was not as many as that of Anne, she was shocked every time. What she saw and heard constantly refreshed her knowledge and subverted her world view. She is now more and more understanding.
Why can't Ling Hao leave the sea? Even she is fascinated by this fantastic underwater world. What position does she have to pull Ling Hao to "come ashore"?
In the palace, Ling Hao, the three of them and "Flint Stone" were seated as guests and hosts respectively. Ling Hao asked: "This 'Titan City' is not too big. I have estimated that even if it is full of clan members, it will only be
Tens of thousands of people should be resettled, right? I heard that the population of the Panshi clan has reached more than 500,000. How will the housing problem be solved?"
"Flintstone" smiled and said: "You should have seen that it is everywhere on the seabed. This archipelago is indeed too small and has very limited resources. Because of the small living environment, the population development of the Panshi clan has reached a bottleneck.
.”
Ling Hao showed an intriguing smile and said: "I don't think it's just as simple as falling into a bottleneck, right? The limestone layer above my head has been eroded to a terrible extent. I'm afraid that it will all collapse in less than a few decades. By then,
The destruction of Titan City is a small matter, but it would be a big deal if all the submarine craters were buried."
"Flintstone" nodded awkwardly: "Young Master is really smart, and he quickly saw the dilemma faced by the Panshi clan. To tell you the truth, I have sent many clansmen around to find new homes in these years, but the sea is too big.
Now that we have grown up, our tribe is not as good at traveling as the mermaid tribe or the abyss tribe, and we have not been able to find a decent place to live. The collapse of the limestone layer is more serious than you expected. There will be at least one collapse every year.
Everywhere is collapsing, let alone decades, I’m afraid the whole thing will collapse within ten years, and our clan’s homeland will be completely destroyed.”
The weird man "Flint" had a miserable expression on his face. He wanted Ling Hao to help, but it was the first time they met and there was no friendship between them. He really couldn't open his mouth.
Ling Hao was happy in his heart, but his face showed an expression of struggle and embarrassment: "Senior 'Fuishi', the Panshi clan and our 'Zhenhai Longhu' have a deep connection. But you also know that our family
The bloodline of this branch is special, and the population has always been thin. In the past thousand years, the population has been declining, and the inheritance has only been barely preserved. Logically speaking, the affairs of the Panshi family are my family's business. I can't ignore you if you have difficulties, but I am busy recently.
It is an important event that affects the fate of the whole world, the rise and fall of major populations in the sea, and the life and death of countless lives. I have been drifting on the sea for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare a moment to help you find a new habitat.
Earth, no matter what, we have to wait until this 'world war' in the ocean is over before we can take care of this matter."
As soon as "Flintstone" heard that there was going to be a war, and a war at that, the warlike genes in the Panshi clan immediately began to take effect. Over the years, the clan had to recuperate and repopulate, and finally the population prospered, but the habitat was unstable. He simply didn't have time.
He had no energy to care about the things outside, so he asked weakly: "The Panshi clan has no information, and they don't know what is going on outside, so it makes even the 'Zhenhai Longhu' feel so troublesome?"
So Ling Hao told the whole story of the incident, and then sighed: "Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only rely on guerrilla methods to consume the opponent. I'm afraid it will be a protracted war!"
The crisis of the Panshi clan is imminent. How can we wait for a protracted war? "Flintstone" suddenly became anxious. His huge body suddenly stood up, patted his chest and said: "Don't forget, I, the Panshi clan, are the warriors of the Holy King.
How can we be missing in the current sea war? I, the Panshi clan, are willing to send 200,000 soldiers, including myself, under the command of the young master, to fight for you in the four seas!"
Listening to "Flint Stone"'s impassioned words, Ling Hao showed a knowing smile. Of course, there is no reason for people to sacrifice their lives in vain. Ling Hao knew what "Flint Stone" needed. If he didn't give them a clear promise at this time, what could he do?
Can it make them feel at ease? Ling Hao held the big pliers of "Flint Stone" and said firmly: "Thank you, I promise you that within a year, I will find a new habitat for the Panshi Clan, and it will be bigger than the current one."
, even better, enough for the Panshi clan to raise millions of clan members!"
The Panshi clan valued their promises and kept their word. They would send troops when they said they would. However, Ling Hao did not let them go to the Caribbean. Instead, they actively prepared for war on the spot and waited for orders. Obviously, Ling Hao already had a plan in his mind.
According to the initial strategic concept, he would not blindly gather all the armies in the same place. Only after the attack target was clear, he would mobilize the nearest forces to launch a surprise attack in a short period of time.
After bidding farewell to the Panshi clan, Ling Hao and his party sailed northward, entered the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden, passed through the Suez Canal, crossed the Mediterranean, exited the Strait of Gibraltar, and arrived at the English Channel.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the ship docked at "Portsmouth Port" for supplies and a break. Britain is Anne's hometown. She was holding a jewelry exhibition in Paris two days ago. She learned that Ling Hao was coming to England soon, so she was busy
After finishing the business, he immediately flew over.
When they met, Annie ignored Ling Hao. Instead, she hugged Zhuxin warmly and exchanged greetings: "Are you used to being on a boat for a long time? Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"
"Fortunately, it's not the first time I go to sea with Ling Hao." Naturally, Zhu Xin would not say that she was not used to it.
"That's good. This kid Ling Hao doesn't know how to take care of others, but he asked you to take care of him. It's really hard for you."
"You must take care of those who should be taken care of. In the past, it was difficult for you to take care of him when I went to sea. I feel a little sorry."
The two women seemed to be being polite, but there was always a hint of "not giving up an inch of ground" in their words. Tian Yong put his arm around Ling Hao's shoulders and patted him sympathetically, but said nothing. Old Pete was adamant.
Ling Hao's teeth were itching with hatred as he looked like he was gloating about his misfortune.
After the two women finished their greetings, Annie looked at Ling Hao and said jokingly: "How about it? The great hero and billionaire who is busy saving the earth? Do you feel like you are the real-life prototype of Iron Man in the movie?" Look.
Seeing Ling Hao's confused look, Annie said in shock: "You still don't look at your phone, right? Let me tell you what's good about you. Even if you are a national superman, if someone asks you for help, you still have to be able to make a call, right? See for yourself
Looking at your Swiss bank account, I took all the gold and silver brought back from Miami by transport plane and sold them in Singapore. I kept the gemstones in the company and slowly sold them at better prices. The total proceeds after tax are 4.2
Billion dollars, after you check it, your dedicated account manager from Swiss Bank will contact you soon to help you manage your wealth. However, I suggest that you hire two more experienced accountants and investment consultants to help you manage your finances.
Don’t underestimate how money can make money. Even if US$500 million is deposited in a domestic bank and earns dead interest at an interest rate of 3%, it still has 100 million Chinese dollars a year, which is 270,000 a day. If you manage your money conservatively, your income can be doubled.
, if you hire a securities investment consultant to help you with investment and financial management, you can't get away with 10% of the income. I can introduce two reliable people. You can meet when it is convenient for you. The one you should hire is not suitable.
Look for it again. Don’t take this seriously, and you will make hundreds of thousands less if you are one day late.”
This has gone beyond Ling Hao's understanding of wealth. In his view, wealth and freedom are already an ideal state, but he did not realize that unknowingly, he had already far exceeded this level. After Ling Hao's death
In this group of people, except for Pete, everyone else only has an understanding of 270,000 yuan a day. They are all dizzy and enjoying how they can spend this huge sum of money within 24 hours, and every day
So, oh, what an annoyance!
Ling Hao was still relatively sober. It was a good thing to not have to worry about money anymore, but after doing this, he was no longer interested in still dealing with money every day. He left the matter of finding a financial management and investment consultant to Annie.
Then he explained the business to Anne.
"Icebreaker? Why do you want an icebreaker? Go to the North Pole?" Anne shouted in shock.
Ling Hao explained calmly: "Although we are not going to the North Pole, it is almost the same. Our next stop is the Barents Sea near the Arctic Circle, and then we will follow Russia's northern route around half the Arctic Ocean, starting from the White Sea.
Let's return to the Pacific Ocean through the Strait. Because we also have to go to the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea, this route is the closest and most time-saving."
Anne shrugged in disbelief: "You must have the crazy blood of an explorer flowing in your body. Although this road is short, it is the most difficult to walk. Having such an experience once in your life is enough to brag about for a lifetime. If it weren't for the Jewelry Group
The new product launch conference is fully booked. I really want to go with you. Leave the icebreaker to me. I will send two people to help you buy all the supplies and equipment you need to enter the extremely cold area. I wish you a smooth journey. Ling Hao,
Remember to check your phone!" After saying that, she went to implement the icebreaker in a hurry. She had to rush back to Paris the next day, and she didn't know when we would see each other again.
Looking at Annie's retreating back, Zhu Xin glanced at Ling Hao and said, "I didn't expect you to be so rich. Miss Annie is really a money tree."
"I'm kidding, all this money was exchanged for the treasures I fished out from the bottom of the sea, she didn't earn it for me."
"I heard that men become bad when they have money. I wonder if this will be true for you?"
"No, I don't have the time. Besides, my wife is a police officer, and she is also an Interpol police officer with good hands and eyes. Even if I have the evil heart, I don't have the courage." Ling Hao started to smile playfully.
"Bah, you are so shameless, who is your wife?" The two of them started to get tired of each other again, and everyone avoided them for fear of not being able to catch them.
Three days later, Ling Hao's team completed supplies and rest, left the "English Channel", crossed the "North Sea", passed the "Norwegian Sea", and arrived at the cold and windy waters of the "Svalbard Islands". "Svalbard" means cold.
The coast is a polar natural archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean and whose sovereignty belongs to Norway. "Svalbard" consists of "West Spitsbergen", "Northeast Island", "Edi Island", "Barents Island"
It consists of "Island", located within the Arctic Circle, between the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea. The island's population is mostly miners and scientific researchers, and China has even established a "Yellow River Scientific Research Station" here.
This is a place full of mythology. Many legends have been circulated since ancient times, such as the "sea witch", "hairy whale" and "narwhal", as well as the famous Nordic mythology, the god king Odin and the gods under his command.
Myths and legends cannot be verified, but some of them may not be true. At least "narwhals" are a real marine population. Their IQ is higher than that of dolphins. Some scientists even believe that their intelligence is comparable to that of humans.
A boy of several years old. And Ling Hao's purpose here is the most mysterious existence in Northern Europe - the "Sea Witch". According to the information given by the mermaid clan, there is a suspected "Sea Witch" group in the waters near the "Svalbard Islands".
, as for further information, there is no further information. Ling Hao has no choice. After all, it is impossible to fill the sea with intelligent creatures. If he wants to find enough allies to fight against the millions of sharks, he must not miss any hope, even if
It was some baseless news, but he was willing to verify and fight for it.
At the autumnal equinox, the sun should still be scorching over the port city, but it was already bone-chilling near the Arctic Circle. At around eight o'clock in the evening, the "Marian" was slowly driving on the sea, and from time to time you could see a number of mountains nearby.
Floating icebergs, when sailing in this kind of sea area, even if all high-tech safety measures are adopted, the people in the cab must concentrate on it and cannot relax at all. If an accident occurs here, it will take 10 minutes for an ordinary person to fall into the water
You will freeze to death inside, and the scene will definitely not be as beautiful as in "Titanic".
Ling Hao and others were standing on the deck wearing thick down jackets, admiring the night view of the polar ice sea.
"Look, the aurora!" Shi Si was the first to jump up, pointing to the sky and shouting loudly. I saw green light strips emerging in the sky, lighting up the night sky, and the pale green cold light illuminated the empty and deep sea.
It's no longer as dark as before.
There was a sound of spraying water, and everyone lowered their heads to look at the sea. Near the ship, black pointed cones more than one meter long protruded from the sea, followed closely by large black cones with white spots at the end of the cones.
The head surfaced, sprayed, and dived, always following the "Marian", maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?!" Someone screamed, and Zhu Xin, who was standing next to Ling Hao, also grabbed Ling Hao's hand. She was obviously a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, this is not a monster. It is an elf in the Arctic sea, an endangered ice-sea group - the 'Narwhal'. The number is estimated to be only tens of thousands. It is extremely rare to see it in this life."
Ling Hao took Zhu Xin into his arms and saw the gorgeous aurora in the sky and the swarms of narwhals on the sea. The scene in front of him was dreamy and romantic. Zhu Xin's mood calmed down, and a trace of intoxication gradually appeared on his face.
She leaned lightly on Ling Hao's shoulder and murmured softly: "I finally understand why you are so obsessed with the sea. Indeed, nothing can replace this soul-shaking beauty. Being able to spend a lifetime like this, this kind of life
I don’t know how many times more wonderful than those people who are busy all their lives but confine themselves to trivial matters.”
Ling Hao put his lips close to her ear and said passionately: "I am willing to take you to see all the magnificent scenery in the boundless sea, whether it is the white sand coconut grove or the icy sea aurora, let the tide ebb and flow until the end of the world."
Zhu Xin snorted, whether it was the romance of the scenery in front of her or Ling Hao's pledge of eternal love, she was deeply moved and intoxicated by it. Her eyes were blurred, her cheeks were slightly raised, and two pairs of hot lips kissed together.
It's so wild, so entangled and selfless...
"Oh my God! Can you give us singles a way to survive? This is undoubtedly playing the island country's magic movie for diaosi with disabled arms. It is directly equivalent to torture!" Old Pete looked like he wanted to be beaten, and he drooled and picked up his mobile phone.
They were frantically taking photos while still complaining. In an instant, Ling Hao and Zhu Xin woke up from their ecstasy and found that except for Pete, the shameless person, everyone else had consciously hid dozens of meters away, completely distraught.
She looked like she "didn't see anything". Zhu Xin's face turned red with embarrassment. She chased after him and tried to grab Peter's cell phone. There was a lot of laughter on the deck. No one noticed that just now, he was chasing around the "Marian".
The pod of narwhals has quietly left, and a thin mist has risen on the sea, getting thicker and thicker.
The captain suddenly poked his head out of the cockpit and shouted: "Boss, something is wrong. Many instruments are malfunctioning!"
"What?" Everyone stopped laughing immediately and followed Ling Hao into the cockpit. "Let me take a look!" Shi Si tore open the packaging of a lollipop, stuffed it into his mouth, and pulled it with his little hands.
She opened the first mate and sat down in front of the console. After a few clicks of operation, she frowned and looked at Ling Hao: "The radio failed, the GPS failed, the radar and sonar also failed, and only the power system is still intact."
Everyone subconsciously looked at the compasses they carried with them. The needles were spinning wildly, indicating that there was even a problem with the magnetic field here. Ling Hao decisively ordered: "Turn off the power system. It is night, the visibility is too low, and there are floating objects everywhere."
Icebergs are too dangerous. As long as there is the sun and starry sky, we will not get lost. We will not leave here until daybreak tomorrow morning!"
"The power system has been shut down a long time ago. Didn't you feel that the engine stopped working?" the captain shrugged, with a puzzled look on his face.
Peter's face no longer had the wretched look before, and returned to the look of an old sea wolf: "But the ship is still moving forward, at a speed of at least 25 knots. There are no currents here, so the situation is a bit strange."
"Drop anchor!" Ling Hao patted Shi Si on the shoulder. The heavy anchor fell into the water with its chain. Everyone hoped to rely on the weight of the anchor to stop the "Marian" from moving forward. Half a minute later, the anchor chain was released, "
With a bang, the chain was pulled straight by the weight of the anchor, and the bow of the ship was pulled down suddenly. Many people in the cockpit were unable to stand still, and they immediately fell around, coffee cups, walkie-talkies and other miscellaneous items.
All the objects fell to the ground. The anchor chain made an overwhelmed "squeaking" sound, and the "Marian" still struggled forward stubbornly, like an unruly and fierce horse. There was another loud "boom".
There was a sound, the anchor chain was broken, the bow of the ship suddenly bounced up, everyone was thrown to the roof, and then fell heavily back to the floor. Everyone fell to pieces, but the "Marian" remained as strong as a horse.
It drove forward like a wild horse.
"It's over, we will definitely hit an iceberg this time!" The captain's voice was trembling, and his face was full of despair.
Ling Hao looked out the window with a solemn expression: "No, we are no longer in the sea area just now."
Fog, outside the window is a thick fog that covers the sky, let alone the sea. The current visibility is so bad that you can't even see the side of the ship, but the "Marian" is still moving forward at a constant speed.
"Where are we floating to?" Pete looked at Ling Hao and asked.
"'Valhalla', the temple of the great Odin, is also the home of the fairies 'Valkyrie', also known as the 'Arctic Sea Witch'." Ling Hao had already stood up, took off his thick down jacket, "Dragon
