Chapter 375: A towering tree that grew overnight!

The capital of seven waters.

Directly opposite the No. 1 Dockyard, there was originally a hulk island where various broken ships were piled up.

Now it has been built by the Construction Department into a clean, tidy, orderly building, flat and wide streets, a sea train research and development base, and it is also the future sea train terminal.

Looking down from the top of the Water City, you can see a shell-like white roof.

The visual effect is very beautiful. Recently, many local residents or tourists booking boats from outside have gone to high-rise buildings in the city just to admire it.

Gradually, some people began to call this sea train base the ‘Snow Shell’.

at this time.

The port here has been temporarily blocked by the navy. Many staff and researchers who heard the news deliberately stood outside the blockade and looked towards the sea.

And within the blockade.

I saw Deputy Director Jerome from the Maritime Affairs Department of the Ministry of Administration, who also serves as base director, standing with Mr. Tom and the current mayor of Manan, talking and laughing.

Behind them, there were Ms. Cocoro, Bingshan, Frame and four division-level officials from the Maritime Affairs Department and officials from the Seven Waters City Government.

"Almost there?"

"Didn't I say we'd be there at one o'clock? It's already one twenty-five..."

"Hey, it's not like you don't know the climate of this Grand Route. How can we be really on time?"

"But they should have come down from the sea...ah, here they come!"

While the surrounding people were talking a lot, the sea surface in the port suddenly rose up, bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【boom----】

When the huge thing under the water tore off its 'sea coat', large waves of water were thrown in all directions, and suddenly a rainbow formed a clear rainbow above under the sunlight.

"Wow!"

Immediately, the audience was filled with exclamations of surprise.

I saw a huge green-shell sea turtle appearing in the port, accompanied by two equally huge flounders on the left and right. They were all covered by a layer of transparent bubbles, with various structures made of shells or corals built on their backs. of houses.

"So many fishmen!"

"Where are the mermaids? Didn't I say there will be many beautiful mermaids coming!"

These otakus who have been working and living in the base for a long time stretched their necks hard, widened their eyes, and searched for what they wanted in the three giant beasts.

But after looking at them for a long time, there were either murloc soldiers wearing armor and holding steel forks, or middle-aged and elderly murlocs with obvious wrinkles.

Not to mention mermaids, there are not even mermaids.

On the other side, Jerome and others ignored the noise outside and greeted the visitors to Fish-Man Island who were walking down the wooden planks from the backs of the big turtles with smiles on their faces.

First, the fishmen soldiers of the Sea King Army ran down and formed a straight queue on both sides with their chests and heads raised.

Then came the left minister of Ryugu Castle, whose fish species was catfish, and behind him Fisher Tiger, who was already the general of the Sea King Army, and a strange old fish man.

"Welcome to the Capital of Seven Waters, I am Jerome, the base commander here!"

Deputy Director Jerome said hello first without hesitation.

Although the host was the mayor of Manan, he did not dare to argue with the division-level officials of the World Government. He could only wait for Jerome to finish speaking before taking a serious step forward and shaking hands with Minister Zuo.

"I am the mayor here, Ma Nan. On behalf of all the citizens of the Seven Waters Capital, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the help provided by Fish-Man Island!"

Minister Zuo smiled and said, "You're welcome. The Capital of Seven Waters has also paid us enough remuneration. It's a fair transaction between us and there's no need for this."

"No, no, no, if just using money can prevent our island from being invaded by the 'Water Gods', then it must be a great favor!"

Mayor Ma Nan said in a deep voice.

For the world's most famous shipbuilding island, the wealth is not overwhelming, but it is still quite wealthy.

"Haha, this must be Mr. Tom. I've heard about his name for a long time, but this time I finally met him!"

Minister Zuo said a few words to the mayor and then turned his attention to Tom aside.

"His Majesty Neptune asked me to tell you that when the research and development of the sea train is completed, you must go back to Fish-Man Island when you have time. He will hold a banquet for you in Dragon Palace City to celebrate your success!"

"Dragon Palace City, if I have the chance, I really want to visit it..." Mr. Tom said with emotion, and then asked with a smile: "Can I bring a few people with me then?"

Upon hearing this, Bingshan and Frame behind him suddenly looked expectant.

"Of course, but not too much"

Minister Zuo teased, and then introduced to everyone the old fish-man whose lower body was bonito and whose skin was silver.

"This is Engineer Boyle, the person in charge of managing and maintaining the gas storage!"

"By the way, you can also call him Dr. Boyle, because he has been awarded the title of doctorate by the Academy of Sciences of the World Government."

Hearing these words, everyone including Deputy Director Jerome was moved.

One of them is a department-level official of the World Government, and the other is the mayor of an island directly under the World Government.

The other is the world's number one shipwright who has already half-footed his way into the Academy of Sciences. He was promised that as long as he develops a sea train, he will be able to wash away his guilt and be awarded a doctorate. So they all know what a doctorate from the Academy of Sciences represents.

Each of these characters will receive great attention and protection from the world government. According to the latest regulations, the severity of the consequences of harming them is basically second only to the Celestial Dragons.

"Hello everyone, I will be solely responsible for the next project of building a gas storage facility in the Capital of Seven Waters. I hope you can give me your full cooperation!"

Dr. Boyle said seriously.

"Of course, you can tell us whatever you need!"

Mayor Manan eagerly agreed, and then asked expectantly: "How long will it take to complete the gas storage?"

"It will take at least four years!"

"ha?"

Everyone was stunned, and Deputy Director Jerome looked at Dr. Boyle in confusion.

"Why does it take so long?"

"Because you need to plant trees first, plant Argentine mangroves, and they need to be at least 20 meters tall. This growth process takes about more than three years."

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Dr. Boyle continued to explain.

"If a bubble is to be maintained for a long time, in addition to air, it must also have enough mangroves. And the bigger the bubble, the more it needs."

"But why do I remember that there are no mangroves on Fish-Man Island?"

Mr. Tom asked, rubbing the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's because there is Sun Tree Eve next to our Fish-Man Island, which itself is the largest Alkiman mangrove tree in the world!"

Speaking of this, Dr. Boyle's eyes showed a look of reverence. He always felt that the existence of Yang Shu was the greatest gift to the fish people.

"But if you just want to plant trees, it doesn't seem like you need to come in person, right?" Mayor Manan asked.

"I came here this time to observe the situation of the island on the spot, and then determine the planting location of each mangrove and the location of the future gas storage."

At this time, Minister Zuo intervened and said with a smile: "So this time we not only brought enough mangrove saplings, but also a lot of soil suitable for their growth."

"Yes, I will go back after watching this and bring the people and equipment back in three years!"

"I see......"

Mayor Manan nodded a little disappointedly. He thought it could be completed within a year, thinking that he wouldn't have to worry about the 'Water Gods' next year.

But he immediately cheered up. Three or four years would be enough. At least he would have something to look forward to, right?

"Do you need manpower to plant trees? We in the Water City can recruit many young people to help!"

"No, we have already invited the professionals responsible for caring for the mangroves in the Shampoo Islands." Dr. Boyle shook his head.

"The Water Capital only needs to provide enough guides to take them to the planting site, and then keep an eye on the saplings in the future..."

Two weeks later, the forty mangrove saplings brought by Minister Zuo and the others were successfully planted in the corresponding locations in the Seven Waters Capital. During this period, Dr. Boyle also completed his own investigation.

But the next morning when they were about to return to Fish-Man Island, exclamations of exclamation could be heard one after another in the Capital of Seven Waters.

"This! What's going on?!"

Because the 'Snow Shell' is located outside the Seven Waters Capital, the overall changes in the Seven Waters Capital can be easily observed from here.

Dr. Boyle, Mr. Tom, Minister Zuo, Tiger and others looked at the Alqiman mangroves on the island that had grown into towering trees with their mouths open.

The current Seven Waters Capital is like a big blue cake with dozens of green candles...

"Hahaha, this gives me a reason to recommend myself. Although it is troublesome, I have helped them so much, so I shouldn't be treated badly, right?"

A tall figure with black curly hair stood on the other side of the Seven Waters City, on the high platform of the city gate of Dockyard No. 5, looking at his masterpiece and laughing.

"I must stand at the top of the world's biological chain and meet the Celestial Dragons who stand at the top. Let's start by joining the navy..."
