"One of the main reasons and basic methods for us to dare to make the decision to cross the windless zone is actually based on the same foothold......" Grisha told him as he walked on the deck with Autumn White.

The ships were sailing into the night, but because time was so tight that if they wanted to reach the North Sea in ten days, they would have to risk sailing at night in a new world full of dangers.

Ten days is extremely short and urgent, with the passage of the Great Passage and the windless zone, and the need to sail for some time in the North Sea.

Even if they did succeed in crossing the windless zone, it is difficult to say whether they would be able to achieve their goal on time.

"Earlier, I said that there are important minerals needed by the world government on my hometown of Little Rock, right?"

"yes, so that's the key?" Qiubai thought of a possibility.

"Yes," said Grisha with the agility with which the young man in front of him could not surprise him, and he asked:

"Hailou Stone...... Have you heard of it? ”

Is this really the thing? This does not seem to be expected by Qiubai.

After all, there are only a handful of types of minerals that can make the world government pay attention to them, and there is no doubt that Hailou Stone can be used as one of them, and it is probably the only one that Qiubai knows.

Although he expected it, his face remained silent, "No, I haven't heard of it at all, Hailou Shi...... What is that? ”

There was nothing wrong with his reaction, not all the inhabitants of the New World knew anything about Hailou Stone.

So the captain had to continue to explain, "Hailou stone is a special material, simply put, it can emit the same energy as the sea, and this energy can make our ship 'invisible'...... That's the only way I can think of a way to have the possibility of navigating the windless zone. ”

At this time, the two of them had already reached the bow of the ship.

The bow of the Giant is very special, Qiu Bai had noticed it earlier, its bow seems to have been specially modified, and here it is completely like a huge flat "funnel" raised high.

Actually, it's a funnel.

"After entering the windless zone, we will pour the powder of the sea tower stone down this funnel, and then the powder will flow from the bow to the bottom of the ship down the water to the stern by inertia and its own weight, forming a membrane-like structure that can hide the Giant - for which we have even modified the entire bottom structure of the Giant."

"Although the windless zone is the nest of the sea kings, if you can use the sea tower stone to cover the breath of the ship, it should theoretically have the possibility of evading the attack and passing the windless zone safely."

…… If there is no sudden convulsion of the sea kings and their heads on the bottom of the ship for no reason.

This explanation of Captain Grisha conceals the most crucial role of Hailou Stone...... Because it has the same properties as the sea, the Hailou Stone is actually the most important weapon used against people with abilities like Ain, and it can neutralize the power of the Devil Fruit, which is the fundamental thing that the world government should pay attention to.

At this time, the seafloor stone bottom mosaic technology of the Navy Headquarters had probably not been invented, so the Navy's ships did not have the ability to cross the windless zone, but with Captain Grisha's explanation, it was indeed feasible, because the principle of the two was the same.

However, there are still certain problems.

"Listening to what the captain said before, this mineral called 'Hailou Stone' seems to be an important controlled material, so how did you get it?" Qiubai asked.

Even if there is a deposit of Hailou Stone on that small rock island, it is the property of the World Government, and it is difficult for the miners to get their hands on it under strict control, and there is even zero possibility of it.

And as an important strategic material, it is extremely rare and expensive, as Captain Grisha said...... How much does it cost to survive the windless zone?

In that case, it will not be a sea building stone, but a gold coin.

If there are so many sea floor stones, can't you just sell them directly on the black market, that is a smart way to make a fortune, why take the risk of crossing the windless belt?

In addition, the hardness of Hailou stone is comparable to that of diamonds, and miners have absolutely no way to process Hailou stones, grinding them into powder? Fifty years of being single can't do it with hand speed and arm strength.

"To be precise, we really don't have Hailou Stone, what we have is just the 'remnant ore' of Hailou Stone - a large amount of stone mixed with a small amount of Hailou Stone, which is completely worthless in terms of mining and processing costs, so they were abandoned by the world government, and then we were able to use them."

The captain said with a hint of helplessness, if there were really minerals left, they would not be able to transport fruits to the North Sea.

It is conceivable that the world government will not give up anything that has a trace of value, and the worthless things that the world government discardes have ironically become the biggest reliance and means of saving the lives of this group of people at present.

The people at the bottom actually survived by relying on these things that the upper class disdained, whether it was Hailou Stone or something else.

Whether it is this world or other worlds, Qiubai has enough knowledge of this.

But in this case, everything makes sense, and Qiubai also thinks it is reasonable:

Miners are incapable of competing with world governments for resources.

"In that case, I have one last question...... How the route was determined. ”

The recording hand will only point to the next island, but not to the direction of the windless zone, and without the means to identify the direction, the Giant will never be able to get to the windless zone.

"It's simple...... There is a fish called 'golden swordfish' in the New World, and during this season, schools of fish swim back to the North Sea to breed, and at this time, they are characterized by always swimming towards the North Sea no matter what water they put in. Captain Grisha said that it was by this simple way that he could find his way.

"Even in a fish tank?" Qiubai asked rhetorically.

"Even in a fish tank." The captain replied in the affirmative.

"Then please keep an eye on your fish tank."

Captain Grisha's fish tank is definitely the most important fish tank in history at this time, and the entire ship's net worth and life are weighed on it.

"Don't worry about this, we even stuff the bathtub with this fish." This kind of thing is definitely much more cautious than Qiubai's unexpected visitor.

But Qiu Bai pursed his lips slightly.

Who is Meng, where will there be a bathtub on this little broken boat?

Well, his vicious mental activity reflects the most real thing, and there really is no such high-end thing as a bathtub on the small wrecked ship.
