Inside the Laboratory, Su Na was busy, with a white crystal resembling a slab of milk candy sitting on the table.

The white substance resembling a slab of milk candy was the delicious honey obtained through evaporation.
She cut the slab into two pieces and dropped them into two different liquids, labeled fresh water and saturated salt water respectively.
The former instantly turned white, while a layer of milky-white liquid appeared on top of the latter, remaining separate from the salt water without mixing completely, as salt also precipitated out.
Yang Yi did not find this strange. Wasn't this exactly what had happened out at sea?

The first contained a piece of white, fatty meat from the earlier Delicious Meat Lump. Soaked in salt water, it had shriveled severely and seemed dehydrated.
The other was soaking in fresh water and had not changed
