Chapter 66: Moby Dick

"There are several companies that make ether ramjet thrusters, such as BRM, CIVA, GD, etc., but who invented it......"

Yaha said this, frowning slightly, "Actually, when I had a lot of money, I planned to save a boat by myself in the future, and I also studied this aspect of things. ”

Summer Night nodded and motioned for her to continue.

But in the end, the answer I found was...... Until a few years ago, no scholars had ever done research on this in Debussota, and the concept of the Aether ramjet was originally derived from the headquarters of "Aether Exploration".

About two years ago, Aether Exploration convened an unclear meeting of the heads of several large manufacturing plants, and shortly thereafter, these factories held press conferences to announce that they had developed a new machine that could propel ships at high speeds in the Aether Sea, and that was the first time that the Aether ramjet propulsion appeared in front of everyone's eyes. ”

It seems that there is still a bit of an inside story in this matter? Summer Night Thoughts.

But whatever. No matter how this thing was invented, as long as it works. Now the urgent thing is to go to sea, go whaling, and pay off the overdraft.

She looked at Yaha, "Do you think there are other things that need to be improved on this ship?" ”

Yaha shook his head, his expression unable to hide his excitement: "This is the best whaling ship I've ever seen." ”

"Then I have no other opinion." Summer Night has always adhered to the principle of "professional things are decided by professional people".

Chrissy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Xia Ye looked at her and suddenly spoke: "Your efficiency is even higher than I imagined. ”

At first glance, this sentence sounds like a compliment, but it seems to mean something else.

Chrissy immediately understood, and she slowly put away her smile: "For this boat, the company has been dug a big hole by me, I hope you can really hunt that whale, otherwise, by the end of this month, I can only find a way to escape." ”

"Even then, you can get revenge." Summer Night said.

"But people are always greedy, and if they can, of course, they want to get more." Chrissy said. She clearly wants to take back the company now more than destroy it.

"Looks like you have a little more confidence in us than you did last time?"

"She's a good captain, and I think she's telling the truth now." Chrissy glared at Yaha, "The insects in the company are out of sight. ”

Summer Night found herself a little out of sight too. Chrissy's almost flattering attitude at the beginning of contact bewitched her, and it was only now that the man's edge was revealed little by little.

Thinking about it this way, her dirty hairstyle looks even more unsightly.

"When I come back from whaling, you can follow me to get a haircut."

“???” Chrissy couldn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped here.

But Summer Night had already looked at Yaha: "When do you think you can go to sea at the earliest?" ”

"The day after tomorrow. First mate, second officer, gunner, lookout...... There are other crew members who have basically been recruited. Hehe, a lot of people didn't want to, but I pulled them over and took a sneak peek at the ship, and they all changed their minds. If it can be completed tomorrow, we will immediately get on board and prepare it, and by the evening after tomorrow, we will be able to complete all the preparations. ”

"I suggest you set sail in the middle of the night so that the movement is quiet." Chrissy suggested.

Hearing her say this, Summer Night couldn't help but wonder how she had hidden it from the company, but she knew that even if she asked now, Chrissy wouldn't be honest.

"Then how about we set sail at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem." Yaha nodded heavily.

"One more thing." Chrissy said suddenly.

"What?"

"It's almost a brand new ship, give it a name, and I'll let the workers brush it up." Chrissy paused, then added, "Everyone says that a good name brings good luck. ”

Summer Night didn't expect to win this honor. She doesn't really have to be the owner of a ship, but she can name a boat, and she likes it.

She thought about it seriously.

Since it is a whaling expedition, and it is a beluga whale hunt, it is called ......

"Let's call it Moby-Dick." She uttered a name that was completely unfamiliar to Jahab and Chrissy.

……

Dinner is roasted tidal spiders and a thick soup made with dome wheat and several vegetables.

Although the tidal spider is actually a crab-like creature, the size of a small basin, Lillian carefully peeled off half of the shell of each leg, revealing a golden, charred flesh that is appetizing just by looking at it.

Summer Night grabbed a leg, her lips opened slightly, and she tore a small bite very ladylike and chewed it slowly.

The taste is a bit like crab meat, sweet and slightly salty, and the taste is very tender at first, and you will feel the toughness of the texture after two more chews. Despite its ugly appearance, the tidal spider tastes surprisingly good.

"I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" After swallowing the spider meat, Summer Night suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

Lillian looked confused. If it was Yaha, who had already experienced this routine, she would be prepared at this time: when Summer Night said this, it meant that there was bad news to tell her.

"That'...... I'll hear the good news first......"

Before she could finish speaking, Summer Night interrupted her: "I'd better tell you the bad news first, so that when you hear the good news, you will feel better." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Lillian nodded obediently.

"The bad news is: I'm going to the Aether Sea, and I'll leave the night after tomorrow." Summer Night said.

Lillian froze for a moment.

After a few seconds, the girl's eyes turned red, and although she tried desperately to restrain her emotions, as soon as she spoke, her voice still carried a crying tone:

"Summer, Summer Night, Sister...... Are you ready to leave Debussota? ”

"It's not." Summer Night chuckled and shook her head, "So here's the good news: I'm just going to help someone hunt a whale and I'll be back in about two or three weeks." ”

"Huh?!"

"What's wrong? Did you think you'd never see me again? Summer Night asked with a smile.

"Uh......h Well...... I almost thought that Sister Summer Night was going to leave me. Lilian obviously tried her best not to cry just now, but as soon as her mood relaxed, tears slipped out of her eyes instead, leaving crystal marks on her white and tender cheeks.

Xia Ye took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears for her, "So after hearing the good news, isn't it much better?" ”

"Hmm...... As long as Sister Summer Night won't leave me. ”

"No, let's continue eating, this roasted spider leg is delicious."

"Hee-hee...... I'll do something else, next time I make it for Sister Summer Night......"

The two chatted while eating, and when a tidal spider was about to finish eating, Lilian suddenly let out an "ah".

"What's wrong?" Summer Night asked.

"That, Sister Summer Night." Lillian narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at her, "You just wanted to tell me that you were going to the Aether Sea because you had something to do, so you were going to leave for two whole weeks, no, three weeks, right?" ”

You've finally reacted, Summer Night thought to herself.

“…… It's not impossible for you to sum it up like this. She said with an innocent look on her face.

But Lilian won't be deceived by her anymore: "So! Any good news, bad news, is simply bad news! It's a shame that I've been secretly glad in my heart for so long, obviously I don't go home all the time, and now I have to leave for so long, and I still play around like a fool...... Summer Night Sister Big! Bad! Egg! ”

Summer Night tilted her head and looked at Lillian, who was grumpy, with an expression on her face that wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh.

Looking at it, her gaze couldn't help but shift to her wrist.

There was a number she remembered vividly: -9885

Recently, she has been looking at her wrist more and more often.

Hope this whaling goes well... Otherwise, you won't really see me. Summer Night thought silently.
