Chapter 753
Chapter 753: Chapter 681: Auspicious Omen Chapter 753: Chapter 681: Auspicious Omen A white sailing yacht hung beneath the aircraft carrier, about thirty or forty meters in length, its stable catamaran hull possessing an artistic beauty.
It must have been ready-made goods from Tokyo Pier or somewhere else.
The yacht had an internal combustion engine as well as sails, making it a high-end vessel capable of completing a round-the-world voyage.
Its sealed cabin ensured it remained watertight even in the face of extreme conditions like storms.
However, this temporarily modified aircraft carrier wasn’t a professional supply ship, and transferring some supplies from the carrier was somewhat troublesome.
Everything depended on the temporary extension equipment set up by hand on the deck, slowly lowering items down.
It took quite a while, but finally, the supplies were all loaded into the yacht’s hold.
“Space equipment is still too rare.
Jack, you truly make people envious.”
Ye Feng, who looked quite ordinary but was spirited, watched as Tao Yu used his space equipment to bring extra supplies aboard, a look of envy on his face.
“Not really, it’s just good luck.”
Tao Yu, when he became a Senior Partner, had already displayed his space equipment; although rare, it provided ample protection at that level.
Especially for those Senior Partners focused on machinery and firearms, having space equipment to carry ammunition meant completely different levels of combat effectiveness.
“I wish I had that kind of luck too.”
Ye Rong added from the side, and then continued,“Mr.
Jack, would you like to cooperate more closely with us?
Our main objective this time is to establish a channel for Military Ration Pills and Sealing Scrolls, those Ninja Sealing Scrolls, which must be among the cheapest space equipment—too bad, they are affected by the World…”
This time, Ye Rong and Ye Feng had shared some information with Tao Yu; they wanted to go to the Land of Fire to exchange for some Space Scrolls.
Because Konoha by itself was strong enough, and needed to keep the Cockroach People’s world under control to prevent widespread disaster, the Development Zone wasn’t keen on using any forceful measures for the time being.
Though the relationship between the two wasn’t particularly close, it was a reasonably normal exchange.
In this situation, a team led by a Senior Partner was especially convenient, neither stirring up apprehension nor possessing the necessary escort strength.
“However, we should also be thankful that the effect of Sealing Scrolls weakens after they leave their World; otherwise, this kind of trade wouldn’t fall to us…”
Ye Feng remarked with a wistful smile.
As a team on the level of Senior Partners, this was just about right for them.
If space equipment that could be mass-produced and used over the long term existed, it wouldn’t be their turn…
Right now, if they could successfully return with a ship full of goods, the profit would be considerable.
The key was if they could figure out the trade routes and confirm the shipping lanes; then this would become a long-term viable route.
Of course, there were risks involved; the sea was so vast, and not only were there various disasters and dangers, but even encountering Pioneers who might intercept was quite perilous.
Yet being escorted by Senior Partners was already a very good arrangement.
World Breakers were esteemed figures far above the rest.
In a place like the Starshine Inner City, they were venerable ancestors.
“Let’s fish along the way, we should have enough supplies…”
Tao Yu watched as the four Intermediate Partners began to manage the sails and the vessel, slowly leaving the aircraft carrier to start their journey, then he casually picked up a fishing rod and made his way to a spot to try his hand at sea fishing.
While fishing, he continued to refine his Fundamental Law and, with the help of Yuan Force acceleration, he constantly adjusted and referred to it, hoping that he could fully streamline it over this period of time…
…
Boom~
Thick clouds filled with Thunder Serpents roamed; the weather at sea changed so unpredictably.@@novelbin@@
It had been clear skies at first, but with the arrival of dark clouds, a violent storm quickly followed.
The swells kept rolling one after another, and what had seemed like a decently sized yacht at thirty or forty meters now resembled a fallen leaf’s flat boat amidst the storm, constantly bobbing up and down with the waves.
With every surge of the waves, vast amounts of seawater flooded the deck, washing against the windows of the cockpit.
At that moment, a man named Thomas, skilled in reconnaissance and with half his body modified with mechanical enhancements, was gripping the helm with a grave expression, continuously making adjustments.
By now, the sails had already been stowed away, relying on the engine’s power, moving with the movement of the waves.
In a storm, the most feared thing for a ship is to stall because once the power system malfunctions, the ship can no longer control its direction, easily flipped sideways by the waves, and then capsized.
Thomas was skillfully handling the situation by relying on the control module implanted inside his body.
Yet, while he controlled the ship, he couldn’t help but complain,
“What the hell is up with this storm?
It feels like it’s following us.
Talk about some awful luck…”
Standing with arms crossed beside him, Ye Feng sighed,
“Yeah, the luck is indeed bad.
We’ve been at sea for about twenty days and most of that time has been in a storm.
If this keeps up, we won’t even have enough fuel…”
They had chosen a sail yacht for the benefit of conserving fuel and increasing endurance.
They had originally planned to make a round trip, but now it would be good if they even had enough fuel for one way!
“Yeah, bad luck indeed…”
Tao Yu, who had just finished a period of seclusion and had come out, was nodding in deep agreement.
“However, it should be over soon.
It’s diminishing.”
“Hehe, Mr.
Jack, you really are our lucky star.
The storm has died down ever since you appeared…”
The nurturing bear-mother Ouyang Qian appropriately added another line.
“Is that so?
Haha…”
Tao Yu gave an awkward laugh.
In fact, the storm was somewhat related to him.
Although he wasn’t intentionally causing destruction, the fusion version of the “New Longevity Secret” had indeed gained the ability to summon the forces of heaven and earth.
With the added bonuses from the Weather Mage and the Witch of Calamity, Tao Yu was handling the control with increasing ease.
On one side, he accelerated the absorption and release of the spirit energy of heaven and earth; on the other, he casually conducted some tests, which was quite natural.
The local air currents were too typical, much like squeezing a pimple, impossible to resist.
Most of the storms they had encountered on their journey were orchestrated by Tao Yu.
After all, once the power to mobilize the forces of heaven and earth is initiated by his own strength, it’s not so convenient to stop…
But although he had caused others some hardships, Tao Yu’s gains were quite impressive.
The integration of his abilities was nearly complete.
He could casually bring about storms of this caliber.
“While this storm seems to have just average power, the force it contains has already far exceeded a large hydrogen bomb…”
Tao Yu, looking at the rainwater and waves pounding against the cockpit glass, also felt some emotion.
While the impact force and pressure per unit time didn’t seem too strong, due to its extensive range and persistence, the total energy contained had already surpassed the attack he had used to destroy the Black Door, and by quite a margin.
This was still considered an ordinary storm.
If it were to actually develop into a hurricane or typhoon, then every minute would be equivalent to a million-ton strategic nuclear bomb.
Why is it that hurricanes and typhoons cause such great harm and loss every year, but considerations to use nuclear bombs to try and destroy them haven’t been made?
Hydrogen bombs only have radioactive priming explosives, so using them to blow up dams and such is feasible, but in the face of hurricanes or typhoons, they are entirely insufficient, nothing but mosquito legs.
The energy contained within a super typhoon can surpass the total of all the world’s nuclear bombs…
“The lower limit of Catastrophe Level can be seen as the ability to unleash a nuclear strike, to cause devastating destruction to settlements and their various industries, forming an asymmetric deterrence.
So, my current condition should be regarded as the upper limit of Catastrophe Level…
I wonder how it compares with a Saint using special methods…”
What do you think?
