Chapter 534: The Terrifying Ocean
Su Chen stood by the seaside, gazing into the ocean of Yan Yun Star.
The sea was calm, so quiet that not even the slightest breeze could be felt. The entire ocean seemed as still as a dead pond, without any movement.
When he first learned that the animals on Yan Yun Star could only survive through breeding, he found it strange.
With no land-based animals left, wouldn't they try to find substitutes in the ocean?
However, it now appeared that there were problems in the ocean as well.
Ju Ling stood by Su Chen's side and relayed the information she had obtained. "There are issues with Yan Yun Star's ocean. Many people once tried to enter the ocean to search for substitutes for land animals, but they found nothing. Furthermore, anyone who entered the ocean never returned, which is why there is no presence of a navy on this planet. Strangely, as long as you don't enter the inner part of the ocean, there are no problems."
"How far is 'inside'?" Su Chen asked.
"On the coast, it seems to extend about five kilometers beyond. Once inside, even a slight touch of seawater can lead to trouble. Here's a record for you to see, Commander."
The next moment, an interface appeared in front of Su Chen. It showed a helicopter hovering in mid-air, with a young man who looked like a rich second-generation holding a fishing rod and casting it into the ocean.
However, in the next moment, a terrifying incident occurred. An unmatched surge of power pulled the rich second-generation and the helicopter into the water, submerging them in the ocean. It created only the slightest ripple.
From the video, it was clear that nothing had appeared in the ocean. So, where had this immense power come from?
Another point was that even if there was something powerful below, it should have only dragged the rich second-generation down. Why had it pulled the entire helicopter down?
In the face of the unknown, Su Chen didn't mind sending his subordinates to investigate.
"Build a seaside base and let the Giant Squid and Dolphin explore."
Under normal circumstances, reaching this location would require a long journey. However, with the guidance of the ruins' stone statue, they would arrive here quickly.
A free teleportation device shouldn't be wasted.
Soon, the Giant Squid and Dolphin were constructed, and they followed Su Chen's instructions, moving in different directions.
Within their line of sight, everything appeared normal. However, when they had moved so far that Su Chen couldn't see them anymore, something strange happened.
Su Chen called Taru over again and asked if the Qiluo Civilization had conducted any experiments on the Yan Yun Star's ocean in the past.
"No, why would we research the ocean?," Taru replied directly.
Su Chen caught onto something important. "You didn't know there was a problem with the Yan Yun Star's ocean?"
"What? There's an issue with Yan Yun Star's ocean?" Taru sounded surprised. As far as he remembered when he was created, there hadn't been any issues with the Yan Yun Star's ocean.
Su Chen understood that the ocean's problem must be connected to the Qiluo Civilization, possibly even to the stone statue man.
"If your memory is correct, there's only one possibility: someone from the Qiluo Civilization conducted experiments on the ocean and then destroyed all related data," Su Chen stated confidently.
Su Chen believed that there was a significant secret related to why the Qiluo Civilization experimented with the ocean and later eradicated all the related information.
Just as he was speaking, all the Dolphins and Giant Squids he had sent out died, and he had no idea what had attacked them. The ocean was indeed very mysterious.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly had a thought: should he give the ocean a big blast? Maybe that would stimulate the ocean.
With Yan Yun Star's current state, it was still under development, and even if there were some tsunamis on the coast, it wouldn't harm anyone.
In the future, when he controlled Yan Yun Star, the ocean would be an obstacle that had to be dealt with. He had to take care of it now.
But what should he send in?
Nuclear bombs were not an option due to their severe pollution, which would require extensive resources to clean up later.
Psychic Controllers and Genetic Mutators were also not suitable because the enemy didn't appear to be biological, rendering them ineffective.
That left the Weather Control Device and the Superweapons from Red Alert.
"Let's start with the Weather Control Device and see if we can explode anything out of the ocean," Su Chen decided. (To be continued)
