The Crescent Sea Bay is located in a subtropical shallow sea area, rich in fishery resources.
The area enjoys long sunshine hours and shallow waters, nurturing a large quantity of aquatic plants and microorganisms. This nourishment builds a complex ecological cycle.
Among the most famous ingredients is the Sausage Sardine, known as the "staple food of the ocean."
Edible Level 4, Capture Level 5.
Sausage Sardines have a combat power of less than one. They are only extremely fast swimmers and tend to move in schools, making them very difficult to catch.
Hidden in the sea, fishermen can only obtain them through exquisite skill.
"That's all ancient history!"
"Who still uses fishing rods and small nets nowadays?"
"If you want a catch, you need a big net!"
"Six 1500-ton four-masted fishing nets ships can pull a super net 500 meters long, covering an area of 60,000 square meters, and catch tens of tons in one haul!"
Listening to his subordinates boast, Wu Yong had a rough idea.
The initial shipment of supplies was merely a cover. This time, the Crescent Sea Bay Star brought in the heavyweights.
Including the winning chefs, as well as many experts from the Black List and the North, this was a grand company team-building event!
Shedding their disguises, they were joined by the experienced Gourmet Hunter, Gang Tu! He was now a senior professor at the Gourmet Hunter Academy, specializing in the application of tools.
"Lord Wu Yong, do we have any specific tasks?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Have fun! This is a party!"
Gang Tu grinned and said, "Alright, students, watch my performance!"
Gang Tu took out a large barrel prepared in advance from a box and attached it to the stern of the ship using a propulsion device.
Then...
Ignition!
BOOM!!
A long trail of smoke erupted from the barrel, its reactive force propelling the ship forward.
The entire ship was like a missile flying close to the sea's surface!
The whistling sea breeze hit them head-on. Gang Tu, with his whale-like mouth, grinned and said, "This is my latest modified speed chaser, specially designed to hunt those annoying, fast-moving creatures!"
"How about it, is it fast?"
There were no weaklings on the ship; the weakest were these apprentice chefs and hunter apprentices.
They tightly gripped their hats and the mast ropes, shouting into the gale, "Fast... too fast!"
"Hahaha, not only fast, but also long-lasting!"
Gang Tu explained, "The fuel inside is a mixture of combustible ice from the North and methane extracted from cow dung, with added Electric Bomb Peaches.
Electric Bomb Peaches contain a considerable amount of sugar and water. Upon rupture, they release an electric current.
This current electrolyzes the water within, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The mixture undergoes a violent explosion. One peach can destroy half a building, making it a very dangerous ingredient.
After the explosion, the sugar in the peaches solidifies and scatters as peach gummies. One Electric Bomb Peach can produce 100kg of peach gummies.
The students gasped; those were extremely valuable ingredients!
Gang Tu stated, "With these treasures, the thruster can burn for a full half hour. The laboratory speed is 320km/h, and currently, it seems to be around 270km/h. It appears to be an issue with the hull's streamlined design; it could still be upgraded."
This was already the speed of a biplane propeller aircraft.
No wonder the wind was so fierce; it was only because the ship was well-built that it didn't shatter instantly.
BOOM!!!
Another explosion echoed from the large barrel from Sichuan flavor!
The apprentices' faces turned pale. Gang Tu laughed heartily, "Don't be scared, everyone. This is the secondary fuel replenishment for the thruster. It seems the Electric Bomb Peaches have finally safely released their hydrogen and oxygen!"
"You... how many Electric Bomb Peaches did you put in?"
"Heh heh, not many, just twelve per barrel!"
Upon hearing this, the apprentices' faces turned even paler!
