Now, Lucius finally understood why Du Liniang agreed with Norke's opinion, and decided to send someone to try to cross the diaphragm the next time he approached the diaphragm, because a bigger crisis was gradually approaching.

Even if they had sailed without danger, when the food and fresh water had run out, I feared that everyone on board would face an even more terrible crisis.

In Du Liniang's view, instead of waiting for the food and fresh water to run out on the ship, and then break through at the moment of life and death, it is better to make some attempts before the food and fresh water crisis appears, and maybe you can get a chance to break the deadlock.

Lucius figured out the key and asked Du Liniang in a low voice: "Auntie, how much food is left?" In fact, you don't have to worry too much about fresh water, the seawater distillation machinery equipped on the ship can continue to operate, and the fresh water extracted from seawater should be enough to supply everyone with drinking. ”

Du Liniang nodded and said: "Well, I'm not worried about fresh water, the key is food, these days, the sea is calm, but I haven't even seen a living thing, and if it goes on like this, if we just rely on the food we reserve, I'm afraid it will only last for two months at most." ”

"Two months?" Lucius lowered his head and thought for a while, "Two months is okay, the time is not short, let's try to speed up as much as possible, and sail out of this chaotic sea as much as possible." ”

After seeing off Du Liniang, Lucius looked at the rest of the people in the cab, walked to the bridge and said to Beluti: "Belloti, you also heard what Auntie just said, so I hope that in the next month, I can sail at full speed day and night." ”

Belletti frowned slightly when she heard this: "In that case, the load on the ship will be very heavy, and it will accelerate the wear and tear of parts, which will bury hidden dangers." ”

Lucius nodded and said, "I understand, but at the moment we don't have any other way, so we have to fight." Maybe we will be able to finish the course that the Founder has drawn for us before we approach the diaphragm next time. ”

There was not much expression on Beluti's smooth metal face, but she grinned and said: "You are really unwilling, we can't finish the rest of the voyage in a month, according to the entire route given by the compass, if you want to complete the remaining voyage on the compass, you will need to sail for at least another five to six months." ”

Lucius sighed and said, "Well, it's better to give it a try than to blindly explore the unknown diaphragm." ”

Belletti shook her head and responded with a smile: "Actually, you know very well. None of us know what's behind the diaphragm, and since it's unknown, there's nothing wrong with us exploring it, isn't it?"

Knowing that Beludi and Norco had the same thoughts, Lucius could only smile bitterly and say, "You don't understand, some dangers often lurk under the shiny surface, and we inadvertently come quietly. Give us the fatal blow. ”

Beludi understood that Lucius had always been cautious, and he was even more cautious in this voyage, trying not to put the people on board in danger.

So Beludi didn't say anything more. He just said calmly: "Okay, don't worry, I will go full speed for the next month, and try to travel as many voyages as possible." ”

After explaining to Belletti. Lucius turned and left, relieved that Beluti and Augustine were piloting the steel battleship. They're so he doesn't have to stay in the cab.

Looking at the back of Lucius leaving, Mogupatine came out of nowhere, covered in heavy oil, looking like a machine that had just been picked up from an abandoned factory.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" coughed twice, and a few puffs of black smoke came out of his mouth, and Mogupatin couldn't help but complain: "Damn, I knew that I would stay in the Caohai Plain, at least I didn't have to suffer this crime there." ”

Flapping his small wings behind his back, Oguferdin, who landed on Belutti's shoulder, looked down at Mogupatin and sneered and said: "Hehe, if you don't follow, you will also lose the chance to advance, you look at No. 3 and No. 4, they have successfully advanced to become mechanical demons." ”

Mogupatin raised his head and glanced at Ogufudin, and pursed his lips disdainfully: "You don't fool me here, is it so easy to advance to become a mechanical god? ”

Augustine squatted on Beluti's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Don't think it's a good thing to be promoted, mechanical gods are not omnipotent, and the core of mechanical gods has been solidified, and I can't integrate new technologies." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Augustin's words fell, Belletti slapped Augustine off the shoulder, and then said indifferently: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work." ”

Seeing that Oguferding was slapped away, Mogupatin suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, let you be fine, you guy just owes a lesson, go and check those magic crystal blocks." ”

Belletti, Augustine and Mogupatin, the three guys were assigned by Lucius to be in charge of the ship's navigation, and Belletti was responsible for coordinating the overall situation and manipulating the rudder, as for the work assigned by Augustine and Morgupatin, it was more complicated than Belletti.

Among them, Mogupatin is responsible for the mechanical devices of the entire ship, so he will appear in the wheelhouse with an oil stain, because he has to check and ensure the mechanical devices in the hull, and many times he has to drill into the inside of the mechanical devices, and it is almost common to be stained with oil, but fortunately, Mogupatin's body is made of brass, and being stained with oil can ensure that his body does not decay.

The mission assigned to Ogupatin may not seem to be as dirty as Mogupatine's, but it is more important than Mogupatin's task, and it is full of dangers.

Out of trust in Augustine, Lucius gave Augustine the task of supplying the ship with kinetic crystals, and asked him to take care of them.

Especially now that there is no protection of the rules, once the magic crystal block overheats, the auguferine must be cooled as much as possible, otherwise the magic crystal block is very likely to explode, causing a series of chain reactions, and even destroying the entire steel battleship.

It can be said that every time Oguferdine went to see the property, he was trembling and cautious, and he didn't dare to make any improper manipulation at all, for fear of touching those magic crystal blocks.

If you accidentally touch those magic crystal blocks, even if they don't cause them to explode. The leakage of energy inside the magic crystal block will also cause problems in Ogufodin's body, and may even corrode Ogufudin's body.

Flapping his little wings, he flew into the magic energy room where the magic crystal block was, holding a special fork specially made for him by Lucius to speed up and cool the magic crystal block, and at this moment, Augustine was like a little demon of a magical civilization.

Braving the heat, he slowly approached the overheated magic crystal block, and inserted it directly into the magic crystal block with a small fork, and the hard magic crystal block was under the fork. Like a piece of tofu, the fork directly sank into the magic crystal.

Every time he saw such a scene, Augustine couldn't help but wonder a little: what kind of material did Lecius make of his fork, and how could it break through the hard surface of the magic crystal so easily?

Just as Augustine was distracted, Belletti's voice suddenly came: "Augustine, if you don't want to go in and replace and cool those magic crystals under the high temperature when you are overloaded in the future, you'd better replace all the magic crystals, and then prepare the cooling tower and condensate." ”

Hear Belletti's shouting. Ogufodin suddenly felt a thrill, remembered the order given by Lucius before, and quickly began to replace all the magic crystal blocks, and adjusted the cooling tower next to the magic crystal block. Fill all cooling towers with condensate.

After finishing a busy day, looking at the fruits of his labor, Ogufodin suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled and said to himself: "Hehe, I'm really amazing." ”

For the next month. The Iron Battleship moved at full speed almost day and night, following the course given on the Founder's Compass, sailing the seas.

Du Liniang quietly began to cut back on her daily food. wanted to try to ensure that the stored food could last for a longer period of time, and Du Liniang, as a cook, was very careful and did not let people notice that she had cut her daily food.

As for the contradiction between Lucius and Noko, it was not alleviated because Lucius agreed to explore the diaphragm, on the contrary, Noko seemed to have the support of Shadow, Christine, Modes, Oliver and Pucis, and had faintly begun to fight against Lecius, but they did not take the initiative to break out.

However, Lucius had noticed that they would get together from time to time, muttering as if they were discussing something, and everyone was deliberately avoiding Lucius, even refusing to eat with him.

By the halfway point of the month, Lucius found that in addition to Caroline and Du Liniang, even Qi Lier had been pulled over by Norco and them, and those guys had faintly formed a small group, as if something was brewing.

When the one-month deadline arrived, bad news followed, and Lucius's original calculations and plans were disrupted by surprise.

The ship still failed to reach the end of the compass route, which was already under the premise of moving at full speed, and finally failed to complete the route given by the compass, only shortening the voyage.

And the worst news is naturally that Du Liniang reduced the food supply, and was accidentally discovered by the magician follower under the command of Pucis, and informed everyone of the matter, and Norco and the others immediately organized and planned to ask Du Liniang for his crimes.

In the midst of a desperate situation, everyone's patience has reached the limit, and now they need a breakthrough to vent their long-suppressed feelings.

No one is right or wrong, just because everyone has been oppressed in a desperate situation for too long, and in this case, the small contradictions are infinitely magnified, and in the end, the situation can only become uncontrollable.

When Lucius learned the news, Norco had already led everyone to block Du Liniang in the cabin, and it seemed that they had not been able to find a breakthrough in Lucius, and they planned to try to find a way to vent in Du Liniang.

There was no choice, Lucius knew that the conflict had erupted, and most people could no longer continue to exercise restraint, so he took No. 3 and No. 4 with a solemn expression, and together with Caroline, walked towards the cabin where Norco and the others interrogated Du Liniang.
