Chapter 28: Soil
Lawrence moves slowly.
If it weren't for the ability to dive in the water for a long time, Mars felt that before, with a person's lungs alone, he would not be able to hold it at all.
And now, Mars himself can still hold on, let alone his own father.
Little by little, Lawrence's hand swirled.
Mars understood, and swam out of the water with his father.
After exiting the water, they will not stay on the surface of the water, but will go directly to the mobile island.
"Father, have you found anything?"
Mars was a little curious, and he preferred to find something.
In this way, we can learn more about the world.
However, they only sailed for a few days, and did not actually go far east.
"The ocean currents ahead are diverging, the speed is slowing down, and you should be able to encounter some very large reef groups. As for whether it is an island or not, it still needs to be seen. ”
"Father, did you already feel these things in front of you, so you dive to see them more clearly?"
Mars asked when he heard his father's affirmation.
Lawrence nodded.
In other words, he had a hunch, otherwise he would not have been so sure that he would have entered the water in this place.
"Then father, let's continue sailing. ”
"Hmm!"
Mars began to regain control of the moving island and set sail, just as Lawrence reached the bottom of the stairs and dabbled his feet in the water.
Mars watched his father's actions, and asked him curiously why he did this.
Lawrence said that by doing this, you can feel the temperature of the water, so that you can roughly judge the weather in the vicinity and whether there are islands or something.
In addition, by adsorbing the mixture of seawater on the instep of the foot, you can determine some of the creatures that live here and what food can be hunted.
The sea is not so blue that it is very clear.
It's just that the sea is big enough that some small magazines and the like can't be seen.
But when you put your hands or feet in the water, the mixture in the water will slowly settle on your hands or feet, so just look at what's in the water nearby.
Mars looked at his stone house, and at this moment he climbed to the top of the roof.
This place has been made into the effect of a watchtower by Mars.
It's just that the roof isn't very high, but it's much farther than standing on an island.
If you stand high, you will be blown by the sea breeze, and then look far away and find the endless waves of the sea undulating on the sea level.
Mars, who had found nothing, had to come down, because the speed of the moving island was a bit slow.
After coming down, Mars did not bother his father, but continued to replace.
In recent days, Mars has replaced five boxes of matches and a few cans of rice.
After eating a box of canned rice with his father, Mars felt that his energy was no longer as high as the first time he ate it.
It seems that he has completely adapted to this kind of food.
Octopuses are not something that can be caught casually, so there are few things that can be replaced, and as for the fish, I don't know what's wrong, so it can only be replaced with canned herring.
This made Mars dare not try.
Two more days passed, and Lawrence stood on the roof, and Mars stood beside the food, looking up at his father.
Today, after Mars expanded the moving island a little more, Lawrence found himself getting closer and closer to the reef group.
In this way, both people should be prepared.
The bottom of the ocean is not as safe as everyone thinks, because there are reefs in the water, and if there are no shipping lanes, it is easy to come across these things.
Although Mars is now opening an island, if he really touches the reefs, Mars does not want to collide.
He didn't want to break his island.
"Mars, see, it's reefs. ”
Lawrence looked at the surface of the sea and saw that in the east there was no longer all seawater, and that one or two black-brown stones were exposed.
Lawrence only saw these things, and then told Mars.
When Mars heard his father say this, he didn't hesitate to let the moving island come to a slow halt.
However, Lawrence felt that he could continue sailing, because he was still a little far from the reef group.
In this way, the moving island just stopped, and started again.
As Lawrence said, as the sun was blazing, Mars and his father hid in the shade and saw something appear on the surface of the sea.
There are some areas where reefs don't appear on the surface at all, so if you can see the reef on the surface, then all the reefs in that area will be reefs.
Lawrence was now at the place where he was launched, and he was going to ask Mars to stop, and then he went over to investigate.
Lawrence did so with some leather bags that he could store.
Mars planned to follow his father, and he was also very curious to see so many reefs, wondering if these things could be carried to the moving island by himself.
Although he said that his reef was replaced, if there was a usable reef in front of him, Mars felt that he could still carry it directly.
As soon as he entered the water, Mars saw a reef in the water, and then he swam to the place where the reef was.
As for his father, he is on his way to the location of the largest reef at the moment.
"If you find an island that doesn't belong to you, you can't plunder it directly, you need to ...... it."
Mars was ready to move the reefs directly, and found that it was possible to carry them, but there were limits to them each time.
In other words, these reefs that can be transported cannot be connected to the reefs on their own islands.
They can only be used as materials, they can be used to build, they can be used to build.
In this case, Mars felt that he should not get it, although these things were good, but they were taken away directly as soon as the big waves came.
It's hard work.
"Mars!"
Mars had just poked his head out of the water, and then looked at the reefs with a bit of depression.
Then he heard his father shouting at him.
Following the sound, Mars swam towards his father.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Look!"
Lawrence seemed to have discovered something strange, and then directly let his son see it at this time.
Mars climbed the reef and came to his father's side.
Following his finger, Mars saw the dirt, in a pit with a small stone depression.
