Junko, True, and Midori headed to the birthplace of the Great Sea Beast, including Leviathan, along with Yogper, the guard captain of the undersea city of Tiber, and several other undersea people.
It was traveling underwater on a much faster submarine ship because of its slow speed on a nuclear submarine.
The submarine ship was quite enormous, but for that matter the passage and the room are wide to relax. Strange materials are used for walls and floors. I don't think it's metal, it doesn't even look like stone.
"It's shellfish."
Yogper said.
"I grow giant shellfish for ships. In other words, the ship itself is a single shellfish. When building a ship, the meat inside is a treat for thousands of people."
"That's an amazing scale story. So, it's delicious?
Midori asks. I thought it was too big and the flavor was too big.
"It's pretty tasty, so lately it's been more of a meal purpose main than building a ship, and I've got extra shells."
Yogper says with a bitter smile.
"Much more comfortable than a nuclear submarine."
But nuclear power is power, and it's romantic.
I just reacted to the true word that Junko had to listen away.
"Better comfort than power or romance"
"Mmmm..."
True to say it out loud. Junko roars without being able to argue.
Afterwards, it passes about three hours with a chat.
"It's time to get there"
Yogper reports.
It's in the middle of the Pacific.
Shortly after Junko said it, a huge display was projected in the middle of the room, reflecting what was going on outside the ship.
In the dark deep sea, a pretty bright light lit up and a good look at what was there.
"Wow... smoke? In the ocean?
I stand countless times in the video watching it and Midori squeals. Sure, that just looks like black smoke.
"Hot water vents. That's a black smoker."
Junko begins to explain.
A hot water ejection hole is a hole in the bottom of the deep sea where hot water, heated by geothermal heat, ejects. A place close to volcanic activity - a magma or near the boundary of the rock bed "plate" - is often present.
Because it sprays hot water in a smoky shape, depending on the color, it is called a black smoker, white smoker, etc.
Despite a hellish environment overflowing with various harmful substances such as sulphur, zinc, sulphate minerals and methane, reaching as much as 400 degrees at maximum temperatures, a wide variety of organisms live around thermal water vents, creating their own ecosystems.
Some crustaceans, such as crabs and shrimps, and some rolled shells. The hot water that blows out of the hot water vent, because it contains a variety of sulphides, generates a large number of microorganisms like bacteria that break down that sulphide, calling out plankton that feeds on that bacteria, and even numerous creatures that feed on that plankton.
"Black smokers have high temperatures and the sulphides they contain are zinc and iron. White smokers have low temperatures and contain sulphur and white sulphate minerals. This is a black smoker, as you can see. Temperature's about 350 degrees."
"Hey, isn't the boiling point of water a hundred degrees? You mean it won't boil because it's deep sea?
Midori asks Junko, who finishes the narrative.
"That's the thing. Because of the water pressure, the liquid has exceeded the critical point of turning into a gas, and the distinction between gas and liquid is obscure, resulting in a supercritical fluid. The water in this condition is water but has great oxidation, corrosion and decomposition of anything. So there's a lot of heavy metals and sulfur compounds in that smoky water."
"Well, the deep sea is amazing."
I heard Junko explain, I don't know, but I felt something mysterious, and I admire Midori.
"I guess I'm done explaining. What I want you to see is not smoke, it's where the smoke comes from."
As Yogper said, the footage was pointed downwards.
"Yeah...? This..."
I'm surprised to see what was shown in the video and see Junko raise his voice up.
At the bottom of the ocean, something like a giant chunk of amber in orange is spreading widely. Countless black smokers stood up from amongst objects like amber. The hot water vent is beneath something like amber.
Junko looked familiar to that orange object that resembled Amber.
At the planet Glass Dew, I recall the residence of a giant tree-like Quo, taken by Junko when he met Quo. And I also remember the story of the Root Man. That amber reminded me of the zollic things that boarding houses serve.
Pregnant innkeeper puts out a zolled one. By incorporating another creature, the zollic creature alters the structure of the body of the different creatures and renders them indolent.
"Heh, pure sister, what's that? Coral or deep sea mites? Deep-sea grass?
Midori asks, referring to something like a long stretched and wobbly tube that grows massively around and beneath a mass of oranges.
"You're a tube worm. It grows well around the hot water vent and incorporates the sulphide dissolved in the water that is ejected into the body and supplies it to the sulfur oxidizing bacteria in the body. And the bacteria in the body of the tube worm produce organic matter - that is, they are the nutritional providers of the tube worm. There are still many parts of the unknown that are confusing."
"Don't even wear that coral story I heard before."
Listen to Junko, true says. The story is that there is always an algae called brown insect algae "or" all the time "in the reef-building" coral, which also supplies the energy obtained from photosynthesis to the coral, which is the host.
"It's the same in terms of symbiotic relationships and the supply of energy."
and Junko.
"Can I pick up some of that orange one?
"Oh. Just give me a minute. I'll get it."
At the request of Junko, Yogper performs the ship's operation. Arm stretches out of the ship and something like amber is sharpened.
Then a while later, an orange chunk was handed to Junko.
Before returning to the laboratory for a closer look, I did the analysis Analyze for now, and it was the same substance as Amber Modki, which was on the planet Glass Dew.
(I mean, this belongs to a boarding house)
I come to that conclusion in Junko.
(I mean, Leviathan is - at the time he's manipulating the weather, a mutant species of boarding house, a strong wind blowing over the weekend? But......)
But the story of the Root Man said that most of the time any creature would be accommodated. However, he also said that there had been cases of becoming a different organism. That's the mutation that can be described as superior boarding house, the strong wind blowing over the weekend - the same individual as the Beast Emperor.
(Could this also be a special case where the environment has arisen?
The story of the undersea says there is a species called the Great Sea Beast, so that Leviathan should not be the only one, showing up near the Blue Rust Village and the undersea city of Tiber.
'I don't think I'm the only one who's come to this planet. The hostile species of Arlaune, the "Innkeeper", shows signs of multiple visits. As a result of Arlaune's hosting of sea creatures, it evolved -'
Kumi - Junko remembers the dialogue that Arlaune Original was talking about.
Junko conceives and makes a hypothesis.
The identity of the great sea beast, such as Leviathan, is considered to be a deep-sea fish, incorporated by an amber-like object secreted by the boarding house.
Because of the deep sea, even if born as a boarding house, it will remain suffocated or crushed to death.
Therefore, there is no other way to survive than to evolve into a form of fish. It therefore depended on the DNA of deep-sea fish and shellfish taken in, and was shaped closer to fish. But the contents are never fish. High intelligence and strength equivalent to strong winds blowing over the weekend. Then it became a giant creature of uninterrupted size.
Shush says the great sea beast born here is scattered all over the world, but I wonder if Junko is different. I wonder if similar things exist elsewhere in the ocean around the world.
Junko knows at least two cases where there was also an amber modoki without accommodation on the ground. The Beast Emperor and Ye Shan are born by their influence. The ocean is much wider than the ground, so if the gate with that planet were to connect, it would be more likely to connect to the ocean.
But questions also arise there. If it's connected to the sea, can't this amber moddock also maintain its presence if it doesn't show up conveniently where the hot water vents are? If it's just a coincidence, do we know that coincidence occurs all over the world? Shh is right, the theory of scattering all over the world may be correct, for the reason that we don't have a territorial dispute. Alternatively, the possibility could be that Amber Modki seeks nutrients in the sea to reach places with natural and hot water vents.
It's all a guess and a hypothesis of Junko. Unless you keep an eye on this place all the time and even attend the birth of the Great Sea Beast, you don't know the truth.
