As Lilia leafed through the book in her hands, she exclaimed to Lin Yuan in her mind.
"This encryption method is amazing! I've never seen it before!"
"Can you understand it, brainiac captain?"
"Ahem... never mind that. Keep turning the pages."

He recognized some formulas and diagrams that looked like physics, but he was certain this was absolutely not the kind of physics found on Blue Star.
They probably concerned some special laws of this sea.

What was more, this metal page was astonishingly thick, almost a centimeter, making it look more like a metal plate.
No, not a metal plate, but a metal box.

With her current strength, never mind an iron box a centimeter thick-even a solid iron plate of the same thickness could be
