[Ice Age-03]
In the Ice Age millions of years ago, one-third of the entire earth was covered by thick glaciers. Walking on the glaciers, because everyone wears ordinary sneakers, half of the land is half without taking two steps. of people almost slipped.
Everyone supported each other, and as a result, 12 people fell to the ground collectively out of inertia.
Falling on the ice is more painful than the flat ground, Yue Xingwen said with a bitter face: "It seems that we can only rely on the displacement skills of Ping Ce and Qin Lu, I have never learned to skate, on this ice, don't It's hard to walk a few kilometers, even a few steps."
Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand, quickly pulled Yue Xingwen up, and said in a low voice, "My coordinate system cools down once every half an hour, and with Qin Lu's plate transposition and teleportation, should I be able to find land before dark?"
Qin Lu said: "The plates are transposed 12 times, 500 meters at a time, and a maximum of 6,000 meters can be advanced. I hope the area of this glacier is not too large, otherwise, we really have to spend the night on the glacier."
Ke Shaobin rubbed his frozen fingers, looked at the burning wood, and said, "If Pingce uses the coordinate system to control everyone's displacement in the air, this burning fire is not easy to carry, right? Without the fire, we estimate that Frozen to death on the way."
Lan Yarong said with a bitter face: "I feel like the blood in my whole body is freezing, and I will become an ice sculpture if I go on like this!"
Liu Zhaoqing joked: "Then put on a better pose first."
Burning fires are our only source of heat right now.
But even with these fires, everyone was still shivering from the cold, the temperature around them was too low, and they didn't have warm clothes.
However, Jiang Pingce couldn't let the burning wood fly with everyone, right? In that case, everyone can't cook the fire, and it also increases the difficulty of Jiang Pingce's calculation.
Everyone was worried, Xin Yan suddenly said calmly: "I have a way. My distillation bottle can be enlarged and turned into a container to put everyone in it."
Ke Shaobin's eyes widened: "But won't your distillation skills evaporate the water in the human body? We 12 of us were steamed into jerky by you, wouldn't they be instantly wiped out!"
Xin Yan explained: "As long as the heating function of the alcohol lamp is not turned on, the distillation bottle is a simple container, and it will not steam everyone into jerky. I think it is better for everyone to stay in the bottle than to blow the cold wind outside. many."
Ke Shaobin imagined the picture of 12 people collectively staying in a glass bottle and flying in the sky...
Are they making a horror movie
Ke Shaobin asked, "What about the fire?"
Xin Yan thought for a while and said, "After extinguishing the burning charcoal, seal it with a small distillation bottle, and the residual heat will be stored and turned into a thermos. Everyone will take one and hold it in their arms to keep warm."
Ke Shaobin looked surprised: "Everyone takes a small bottle and sits in the big bottle?"
Xin Yan nodded: "Yes."
Yue Xingwen really appreciated Xin Yan's idea. He simulated it in his mind and felt that this method was feasible, so he said, "That's it, I can't think of another way. Xin Yan came to make a bottle, and everyone stood in line. "
Xin Yan said: "Don't worry, I won't seal the bottles you are in to ensure air circulation."
Since Xin Yan usually uses a retort to make food, now, everyone has to stay in his glass bottle in person. Of course, it will be awkward psychologically, always feeling as if they are about to be steamed
However, since Xin Yan said that he would not turn on the heating device, then this bottle can indeed keep out the cold!
Everyone quickly lined up and stood up. Xin Yan first put out the fire, made 12 small thermal insulation bottles and distributed one to each person, followed by summoning the enlarged distillation bottles, and put the teammates into the bottles one by one.
Ke Shaobin looked at the teammates who were in the glass bottle beside him, helplessly holding his forehead: "Although such a picture is a bit strange, don't say, the glass bottle can isolate the cold wind, it is indeed a little warmer than before."
Yue Xingwen was at the front, he simply sat down in the bottle and said with a smile, "Pingce, let's go!"
Jiang Pingce raised his right hand and said, "Everyone sit down."
Everyone imitated Yue Xingwen and sat down in the bottle. Since 12 bottles are gathered together, the movement trajectory of everyone can be controlled by means of coordinate set movement. Jiang Pingce quickly wrote a few formulas. Everyone saw that the 12 bottles were collectively lifted into the air and began to rapidly move towards the direction of the sine curve. pre-exercise.
Ke Shaobin sat in the bottle, looked at the endless glacier under his feet through the transparent glass, and said excitedly, "It's so fun! It's like going to the playground to ride the transparent Ferris wheel when I was a child."
Xu Yishen smiled and said: "Xin Yan's method is really good. Let everyone fly in a transparent bottle and hold a thermos in their hands. The chemistry department's instruments are really versatile, and they can hold anything!"
Yue Xingwen's bottle and Jiang Pingce's juxtaposition, sitting on a glass bottle flying above the glacier, this wonderful experience they will probably remember for a lifetime? I had never dreamed of such a bizarre scene before, even in a dream.
The glacier is large, but the advantage is that the view is very wide, and there are no obstacles to stop them. In this way, Jiang Pingce's coordinate system operation can continue.
Everyone was unimpeded all the way, and after staying in the bottle for a long time, it was indeed much warmer.
Yue Xingwen turned to look at Jiang Pingce in the bottle next to him, and asked, "Pingce, did you go to the playground when you were young?"
Jiang Pingce shook his head: "No." Compared with other playful children, Jiang Pingce likes to be quiet since he was a child. He loves to be alone and study difficult math problems beyond his age. In the eyes of his parents, he Very sensible, but in the eyes of children of the same age, his character is indeed a bit boring.
Yue Xingwen imagined Jiang Pingce, who was quietly in his room doing math, and said with a smile, "When we leave the library, let's go to the playground for a day. This glass bottle is uncomfortable to sit on, so I'll take you there. A real Ferris wheel."
Jiang Pingce raised the corners of his lips lightly and said in a low voice, "Well."
He doesn't like crowded places, but if Xingwen takes him there, he can go anywhere.
Just as he was thinking, it suddenly snowed in the sky, the goose feather snow fell rustling, and the cold wind mixed with the heavy snow frantically poured in from the mouth of the bottle, Liu Zhaoqing immediately scolded a swear word: "This is a fucking house leak, but every night it rains and freezes. It's snowing in dead weather!"
It had just warmed up for a while, but the snow fell, and the bottle couldn't keep out the cold.
In order to ensure air circulation, Xin Yan did not seal the mouth of the retort. When it snowed heavily, everyone sitting in the retort quickly covered their heads with snowflakes, like a white-haired old man and an old lady.
Yue Xingwen was so cold that he sneezed several times, Jiang Pingce gave him a worried look and frowned: "It's been half an hour, my skills have cooled down, should everyone stop to rectify, or let Qin Lu continue? "
Qin Lu continued to transpose the plate 12 times, and could walk 6,000 meters forward.
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment, then typed on the research group channel: "Qin Lu changed positions 10 times, leaving two skills for emergency. If we still can't see the traces of the land after 10 times, we probably won't be able to get out of this glacier tonight. Now, think of another way."
Qin Lu immediately responded by typing on the research group channel: "Okay, Pingce lowered the bottle to the ice, I'm going to change positions."
The 12 bottles fell steadily, Qin Lu took out the globe and began to change positions quickly.
It only takes about 2 seconds to transpose once, and 10 consecutive transpositions, everyone teleported forward 5,000 meters.
However, there are still endless glaciers around, the scenery has not changed at all, and there is no trace of land at all. They walked on the ice for so long, it felt like they didn't.
There are only 12 of them on such a barren and vast glacier, and it really feels like the end of the world.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone's clothes and trousers were wet with snow, and the low temperature of minus 30 degrees made their clothes freeze into ice almost instantly. It was unbearable to wear clothes that were frozen into ice in the already cold weather!
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, feeling the air in his nose with a biting chill, his teeth chattered, and said quickly, "Stop, it's getting dark, build an igloo on the spot for the night!"
Zhang Xiaonian was stunned for a while, and then confirmed: "Brother, what do you mean by digging down the glacier and digging out an underground ice cellar?"
Yue Xingwen nodded: "That's the only way. Staying in the open air on the glacier overnight will definitely not last tonight, and you can't freeze to death here. Although the underground igloo is also very cold, it can at least resist the cold wind and heavy snow. At that time, Xiao Nian Lay a layer of concrete walls from the School of Architecture inside the igloo, everyone will light the fire, and it should be fine overnight."
This is the only way at present.
Dig the ice surface to build an igloo. Although the surrounding is full of ice, the temperature will definitely be very low, but compared to the cold wind and heavy snow in the open air, the closed underground igloo is their only way out.
Zhang Xiaonian worked immediately. The excavator digs the soil very fast, but it is obviously not so easy to dig the ice surface. It used to take 10 minutes to build the base, but this time it took nearly half an hour.
Everyone just felt that the blood in the whole body was about to freeze into ice. Xin Yan decisively turned on the alcohol lamp for distillation. He only dared to steam for half a minute and then stopped immediately to avoid damage to his teammates. As soon as the alcohol lamp was turned on, the snowflakes in the decanter instantly evaporated, forming hot air, which enveloped the bottle and relieved the cold of the teammates. But after it stopped, more snowflakes poured in.
After simmering for half an hour, Zhang Xiaonian's "ice cellar" was finally built.
Everyone hid in the underground ice cellar as quickly as they fled for their lives.
The temperature in the house was still very cold. Everyone quickly lit the fire. Yue Xingwen and Xin Yan worked together to boil hot water. After the hot water, everyone finally felt that the cells of the body were rejuvenated, and they were no longer walking alone. Ice sculpture!
Lin Manluo held a bottle of hot water and said tremblingly, "I found that the Environmental Academy is actually quite friendly to us."
Xu Yi sighed deeply: "I also think that the genetically modified animals of the Academy of Biological Sciences are too cute."
Qin Lu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect the Geography Institute to be so perverted. Fortunately, our team has the infinite fire source of the Chemistry Department, and the junior and junior brothers of the Architecture Department can build houses. If you don't have these skills, you will definitely freeze to death in the Ice Age!"
There is a layer of cement inside the house to separate it from the ice layer outside, so the house is not afraid that the house will melt when the temperature is high. With a temporary shelter, everyone finally felt relieved. Yue Xingwen said: "Brother Liu, get more gauze and cover it when you sleep at night. It's better than nothing at all. In addition, all the trees of Sister Lin were cut down to make wood, and they were set on fire everywhere, and the whole house was raised. temperature."
Xin Yan reminded: "Our house is located under the ice layer. If we ignite everywhere, wood burning requires oxygen, and the house is not ventilated. It is easy to generate carbon monoxide due to insufficient combustion, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning during sleep."
Yue Xingwen almost ignored this key, and immediately said: "Then wait for Senior Sister Lin's skills to refresh at 24 o'clock, and then clean the air again. Like the last time, collect enough fresh air and store it?"
Xin Yan nodded: "Well, that should be fine."
Everyone settled down in the igloo, using Liu Zhaoqing's gauze as their clothes, and wrapped them in several layers, one by one like a mummy. But in order to keep warm, they no longer care about their image.
At 24 o'clock, Lin Manluo once again summoned the air purification in the green tree area. Xin Yan collected enough air to burn charcoal at night. He placed the bottle of stored air in each bedroom to ensure air circulation during sleep at night.
Jiang Pingce used a triangle ruler to make a bed again, and everyone fell asleep separately.
Yue Xingwen slept on the bed, shivering with cold.
Jiang Pingce noticed that the person beside him was trembling all the time, he couldn't help reaching out and gently hugged him into his arms.
Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment: "... Pingce?"
Although last time I accidentally used Jiang Pingce as a pillow in my sleep, but now, they are all awake. Isn't it bad for two boys to hug like this
Yue Xingwen's heart was beating like a drum, and his mind instantly became a mess.
Jiang Pingce retracted his arms and hugged Yue Xingwen even tighter, their entire bodies sticking together almost seamlessly. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Yue Xingwen's hair. His voice was low and gentle: "It will be warmer to sleep in your arms."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
But will this pose be too ambiguous
Although they were separated by clothes, the clothes they were wearing were very thin, and such an intimate posture made Yue Xingwen's face a little red. But he was embarrassed to object. After all, it would be warmer for two people to sleep together. Pingce said so, if he said "don't hold me" awkwardly, wouldn't it seem like he was very petty
Anyway, both of them are boys, so it won't matter if they hug each other.
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Pingce as well. The fresh smell and body temperature from the other party made Yue Xingwen sniff his nose contentedly, and whispered, "It's really warm."
He simply buried his face in Jiang Pingce's arms.
I didn't notice that, in the darkness, the corner of the boy's lips raised a gentle smile.
