52.2 per cent for option I, 4.3 per cent for option two and 43.5 per cent for option III.

……

[Option 1]

[Working on deck]: Responsible for checking the weather and sea conditions, inspecting and maintaining the hull, etc

……

"I want to work on deck."

Zheng Zhuo said while writing [Deck Job] next to his name.

"As you said, I'm still somewhat confident in my observations. In addition, I mainly studied marine biology and meteorology in my major. ”

……

After Zheng Zhuo finished signing, Chu Huairen took the watch and left. At dinner time, he returned to the cafeteria with a form signed by all the students.

Zheng Zhuo glanced at it. 3 people work at the main console and 3 people work on deck. Chu Huairen and the girl who knew how to radio were on the main console.

Naturally, no one chooses to work in the kitchen.

(So, why does the Subliminal Voting screen appear with that option...... No, did I really consider helping the cook...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo smiled dryly.

He did not deny that when Chu Huairen asked him about his work expectations, his first reaction was to help cook.

(No, no.) I brought in the preferences of reality. That's not going to work. ）”

Zheng Zhuo tried to suggest that he was now a Ph.D. student at Ocean University.

(There are a lot of clues on the deck.) Go to the deck. ）”

……

After the work was settled, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep. The next day, Zheng Zhuo went overboard with two other classmates who had chosen to work on deck, trying to adapt to the bumpy and slippery deck while enduring the howling sea breeze while listening carefully to the sailor's instructions on how to confirm the condition of the anchor, cable and internal combustion engine.

Zheng Zhuo is different from other students: he has no training in the relevant profession. Many times, Zheng Zhuo couldn't keep up with the jargon in the sailors' mouths. To make matters worse, he did not know what words he "ought to know", so he could not question the sailors, lest he reveal his level of knowledge and invite superfluous suspicion.

But fortunately, he still has [identification].

"This pipe is connected to the servo oil pump solenoid valve."

During the review stage, he accurately stated the areas that needed attention, which attracted the attention of the other two students.

"Worthy of Dr. Zheng! I even know so much about ship power equipment! ”

"Haha, it's okay......"

Zheng Zhuo was called a doctor for the first time in his life. He's a little weak-hearted.

……

After that, the days passed peacefully. On the sea without wind and waves, the Beautiful Future moves forward day and night with a fixed number of knots.

Sleep, eat.

Take turns on duty and check the safety status of each position of the hull according to the list.

Sail, sail, sail.

After sailing hundreds of nautical miles, Zheng Zhuo gradually got used to this kind of life.

He even occasionally felt that this was the reality. [Collective subconscious], pure white space, people on the verge of death...... It's all just a dream.

Whenever this happens, he will summon the Subconscious World page.

The cold percentage on the interface would remind him that he was in the midst of a sea of human consciousness.

……

【Ocean World】

【1.2%】

……

"In this world, there are percentages."

Zheng Zhuo looked at the progress bar below the world and muttered to himself.

"It's still a long way from the [Wise] card."

……

That night, Zheng Zhuo was put on duty in the evening. When he made his rounds in the darkness of night and pushed open the hatch to return to the cafeteria, he found that all the students had not left after eating as usual, but had gathered around the table.

Professor Lin Wen is also here.

Zheng Zhuo approached everyone. He found many maps and charts on the table, some of them printed in modern art and others very old. Chronological maps are drawn on sheepskins and preserved by rubbing and sealing.

"Zheng Zhuo, you're here."

Professor Lin Wen saw Zheng Zhuo and greeted him.

"I'm just going to tell you about it."

"We ...... It's almost time to reach its destination. ”

……

Shortly after departure, Professor Lin Wen once talked about the destination.

In a satellite remote sensing shot a few years ago, a team of researchers from Ocean University captured images of what appeared to be an ancestral hall on an ocean-going island. After many reviews, analyses, and data collections, the Department of Marine Sciences and the Department of Archaeology jointly established this expedition project. The project was chaired by Professor Lin Wen of the Department of Marine Sciences, with only one purpose: to go to the island and conduct a field survey.

During the voyage, Professor Lin Wen mentioned this topic many times. He believed that the ancestral hall was related to the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis. Geographically, the island is located right in the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the place where the continent of Atlantis is said to have sunk.

Students and crew members were less than evenly divided on this. Some people, like Professor Lin Wen, believe that it is another ancient maritime civilization, and still others simply believe that the ancestral hall does not exist at all - there are only rocks that look like ancestral halls.

Zheng Zhuo believed it very much.

For no other reason: when he entered this world, he saw it with his own eyes.

But......

(When I entered the world, the cards didn't fall on the ancestral hall...... It also continued to fly far...... ）”

After arriving at the ancestral hall, how do you convince everyone to move on?

He hasn't figured it out yet. But he thought that since he had landed on that pier, there must be a way to continue.

……

As Zheng Zhuo was distracted, Professor Lin Wen announced the current progress: in four days, they would arrive at the island.

It's finally here! Everyone was excited. Many students stayed up all night because of the news, and the next day, they showed up in the cafeteria with dark circles under their eyes.

Zheng Zhuo slept well. He walked through the corridor and saw Chu Huairen, who had faint dark circles, and the girl who was good at radio handing over the night's charts.

Zheng Zhuo boarded the deck, felt the sea breeze, and started today's work.

During the day today, there is not much work assigned to him, because the preliminary survey will start now.

……

The morning passed quickly. At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, [Beautiful Future] turned off its engine, opened the tail hatch, put down a miniature deep-sea probe, and conducted underwater reconnaissance within a radius of several nautical miles around it.

If a few days ago the main console team was idle and the deck team was busy, today the main console team is busy and the deck team is free.

During the survey, Zheng Zhuo and two other students were idle and bored, and invited a few sailors to fish on the deck.

…… As you can imagine, sailors with [Fishing] skills have caught more fish than everyone else combined.

"It's time for extra dinner in the evening!"

"Fish! At sea, what a snack is fish! ”

The sailors joked with the students.

However, at this very moment.

There was a cacophony of voices from the cabin.

……

What's wrong?

Zheng Zhuo entered the cabin with the others, and as soon as he entered, he saw many students and sailors hurrying around.

"What's wrong?"

A student hurriedly stopped a familiar classmate and asked.

"I didn't ...... It's all a small situation. It's just a coincidence that it happened together. ”

The classmate replied.

"Condition?"

"The miniature deep-sea probe is not in very good condition and is now coming up in advance. The radio signal is intermittent, and Lao Dong is too busy to debug alone. Xue Ying was on the night shift, she would have been sleeping, but now she had to wake her up again - no way, she can also radio here. There was also a sailor who suddenly felt unwell and had just been taken to the infirmary. ”

It's all trivial. Zheng Zhuo thought.

"Need help?"

"Let's see! Oops, I'm in a hurry—"

Well......

What to do?

……
