I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 851: Where Does the Freshwater Come From?
After Ye Chen appeared near the tent, he immediately saw Anying waving at him anxiously. In fact, standing in this position, Ye Chen could already smell the aroma of grilled chicken.
"Wow, this smell is amazing. It seems like your seasoning was indeed timely."
"Of course, I told you. Moreover, when surviving on the island, these things are essential. If you find wild game and grill it directly, I'm telling you, it would be bland and tasteless, not delicious at all."
"Come, have a taste."
As he spoke, Anying reached out, picked up a chicken leg, and placed it in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen just glanced down and then handed the chicken leg to Lin Yaru.
"Both of you are women, so each of you gets a chicken leg. I won't have the chicken leg; I'll eat something else."
"Just eat it; it doesn't make a difference who eats it."
"Come on, take this and eat it. I'll eat something else later."
Anying nodded; after all, it was just a chicken leg, and besides, they couldn't possibly live on this deserted island for long. Once they leave, they would have plenty of time to eat other things.
So, Lin Yaru didn't hesitate any longer, took it directly, and took a bite.
To be honest, the oil in this chicken had completely been grilled out. Now, when placed in the mouth, you could feel the oil trickling directly down the corners of the mouth.
"Wow, this is too delicious! Even when I ate grilled chicken in the city, I've never had anything as tasty as this."
"Exactly, considering the environment we're in. Also, this most natural and original method of grilling chicken is actually the correct way. If it's delicious, you should eat more."
Lin Yaru nodded excitedly, as if this food was like a tonic.
Once delicious food enters the mouth, at least it can considerably relax one's mood.
The three of them devoured the entire chicken.
Under normal circumstances, the three of them might not be able to finish a chicken, but surprisingly, they managed to eat the whole thing today.
Ye Chen burped, wiped his mouth, and thought this must have been the tastiest lunch he had since landing on the island.
"By the way, while I was washing over there, I carefully observed and discovered that there should be underground water on this island."
"What? Underground water? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm quite certain. If it were seawater backflow, it would be salty, but I just tasted it, and it's fresh water, so it's very likely from underground water."
"If it's from underground water, the island's depth must be within at least 100 meters, maybe even around 80 meters or so."
"Yes, I was considering this issue. It proves that the island extends deep below, far from the sea level."
"In this place, it might have been part of the mainland before, and it's unfathomable."
"I can't say for sure; I kind of guessed this earlier, but we're not really geology experts, so we haven't been able to detect anything pinpointed yet."
"No, I have specialized equipment and can measure what's underneath."
"What? You have equipment? Then why didn't you bring it out earlier?"
"Previously, I felt it might not be useful. Even if we did some probing, we might not get any reflection since below is mostly rock. But if there's flowing water, my equipment should detect it."
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and take it out!"
Anying's equipment was something that Ye Chen really didn't know about.
Seeing Anying take out one fascinating piece of gear after another was truly an eye-opener for Ye Chen.
Then, Anying took out a black machine from another box.
To Ye Chen, all these machines seemed to look basically the same.
After taking it out, he saw a wire on the side, similar to a probing rod, which then connected to the machine.
"Is this something similar to a metal detector?"
"The principle is similar, but I'm not detecting metals. Instead, I'm looking for places where things can flow beneath."
"Alright, can you try it now?"
"Wait a moment, let me adjust the machine, then use this device to carefully search the surroundings. If there's really flowing water, I should see it, and I can roughly determine how far it is from the surface."
"Alright, I'll test it out later."
For some reason, when this topic was mentioned, Ye Chen felt really excited, eager to know what was hidden deep below.
"Okay, it's ready now. You can scan around, and the signal will transmit here. If I ask you to stop, just stop and keep scanning there."
"Okay, got it."
Ye Chen nodded, then picked up the detector and began cautiously probing the area, similar to detecting landmines.
Initially, the screen remained quiet, showing nothing as it detected no reaction from the stationary or hard rocks below.
"How is it, no reaction yet?"
"No, nothing yet. Keep moving in that direction."
"By the way, what's the transmission range of your wireless equipment? Since it's wireless, it must have some limits; if it's too far, do you need to follow me over there?"
