[Ice Age-06]
Yue Xingwen is a southerner. When he first saw the snow scene when he went to college in Hua'an, he also asked Jiang Pingce to take pictures together. He likes the white snow scene in winter, especially the winter in Hua'an University. When it snows, the circle of friends is always swiped by the snow scene. Hua'an University, which is covered in silver, is beautiful, and every step is a scene.
However, he had never seen such terrible snow as today.
As soon as everyone walked out of the base, the biting cold wind mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow blowing.
The Ice Age was originally an endless white glaciers, coupled with the overwhelming snowfall, the whole world was deserted, and the place was all white, and the end could not be seen, just like the end of the world in the movie.
Yue Xingwen sneezed several times and quickly returned to the base, saying, "We have to think of a way. Like yesterday, we were walking forward in Xin Yan's glass bottle. Although it could withstand the cold wind, snowflakes would float in from the bottle. So much snow, everyone will be buried in snow within a few minutes."
Xin Yan suggested: "What if gauze is used to block the snowflakes?"
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and looked at Xin Yan: "The gauze can only cover it for a while. Once the snow thickens and covers the gauze, our bottle will become a closed space, and the air will not be able to circulate."
Xin Yan said: "You can rest assured. In the early morning of this morning, when Sister Manluo summoned the green tree, I stored enough purified air. After I sealed the distillation bottle used for riding, I gave everyone an air bottle. , to ensure that breathing is not affected."
Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Just do it!"
It seems that Xin Yan thought of this problem yesterday, so when Lin Manluo purifies the air, he stocked up some more, and his carefulness helped everyone a lot.
There is still a blizzard today. If you want to drive in the blizzard, you must take protective measures. Otherwise, they will become 12 frozen snowmen when they are halfway there.
Next, Xin Yan summoned 12 distillation bottles. Liu Zhaoqing wanted to use gauze to seal the seal, but considering that the gauze was not easy to fix, he simply said: "Since Xin Yan has stored enough air in advance, let's change the method to block the snow. Yesterday, it was sawed off from the big tree in Manluo. I can't take the wood with me anyway, so I changed the shape and made some round corks."
When there is enough air, sealing the bottle with a cork will be much stronger and warmer than gauze.
Jiang Pingce immediately measured the diameter of the retort and drew 12 circles on the wooden board. Liu Zhaoqing sawed out 12 corks according to the shapes he drew, and sealed the retort. Although Xu Yishen has turned into a cell now, there is a cooling time limit for the transformation of the cell. In case he changes back into a human form, a bottle must be reserved for him.
Immediately after, Xin Yan gave everyone an alcohol lamp, a bottle full of hot water, and a bottle full of fresh air. Brother Liu also asked everyone to bring over the gauze quilt that was covered last night, fold it a few times, and put it under the buttocks as a cushion, which is far more comfortable than sitting on a rigid glass bottle.
When everything was ready, Qin Lu replaced all 12 "mounts" on the ground with plate transposition, and Xin Yan used his skills to put everyone into the bottle.
The airtight bottle, the hot water in his arms, this "mount" is much better than yesterday.
Although it was freezing and snowing outside, it was not cold inside the bottle.
The airtight bottle will cut off the sound. Ke Shaobin simply typed on the research group channel: "This upgraded glass room is really comfortable! I can't imagine how this class would be without students from the School of Chemistry."
Zhuo Feng said: "The Department of Physics has both thermal and optics for heating, but unfortunately I majored in electricity and gravity."
Yue Xingwen typed: "Different teams have different methods. For people like us to travel in glass bottles, not only Xin Yan's chemical instruments, but also Pingce's coordinate system calculations are required."
Everyone agreed: "That's right, Pingce is the hardest work, and you have to keep calculating the formula to take everyone forward."
Ke Shaobin said, "Pingce is the driver of our wonderful team. Without Pingce driving, everyone can't walk!"
Jiang Pingce was calculating the formula with his right hand, and typed a word with his left hand: "Well."
Yue Xingwen smiled and said: "Okay, save your energy. It's still warm in the glass bottle, but the temperature outside is too low, the bottle will cool down soon, and then I have to ask Xin Yan to continue heating."
Xin Yan can call the alcohol lamp to heat the bottle at any time. Of course, the heating time must be well controlled, otherwise the teammates will be accidentally distilled into jerky.
Jiang Pingce controlled the caravan of glass bottles to fly forward.
His coordinate system was used for 30 minutes and cooled for 30 minutes. Everyone could only walk for half an hour and stop for half an hour. In a blink of an eye, the morning passed, but the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.
Is it going in the wrong direction? Everyone was embarrassed to question Qin Lu, but Qin Miao typed directly and asked her sister, "Is there any problem with your judgment? We've been going southeast for so long, but we still can't see any trace of land."
Qin Lu's face was a little pale, she was silent for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and said: "It should be right. I remember very clearly that the center of the Quaternary Ice Age was in the north of the American continent and the northwest of the Eurasian continent. If we go to the center of the glacier If you go in the direction you want to go, it's even more impossible to see the land."
Yue Xingwen comforted everyone and said, "Don't worry. Qin Lu also said that one-third of the earth's land during the Ice Age was covered by glaciers. The area of this glaciers is much larger than our country, and we have only walked dozens of times. It's normal to see the land at a distance of kilometers. If you can't get out of the glacier before dark tonight, continue to dig an ice cellar for the night."
With Xingwen's words, everyone is relieved.
One third of the entire earth's landmass is glaciers, and the course requires them to survive for ten days, and today is the second day. If you walk out of the glacier in one day, it is too simple, and it does not conform to the setting of the ice age.
In the next time, Jiang Pingce continued to walk with everyone on the vast glacier.
Such a boundless glacier, no matter how long it takes, the surrounding scenery does not change, it is easy to make people anxious. Fortunately, Jiang Pingce always looked calm, and kept writing formulas to control everyone to move forward. Xin Yan also kept an eye on the temperature in the bottle. If he sensed it was cold, he would summon an alcohol lamp to heat everyone for two minutes.
After walking like this all day, it was getting dark, everyone sat in the bottle all day, hungry and cold, and their brains were about to go numb. Ke Shaobin said dejectedly: "I still haven't walked out of the glacier. Are you going to sleep in the ice cellar again tonight?"
Zhang Xiaonian asked, "Do you want to stop and dig the base?"
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, "Qin Lu, walk a few kilometers to see the plate movement."
Jiang Pingce let all the bottles fall to the ground, and Qin Lu summoned the globe to continuously move the plates in the southeast direction specified in the thumbnail.
After teleporting 5 kilometers, suddenly, Yue Xingwen saw that a mountain appeared not far away, it was getting dark, and with the heavy snow, he couldn't see clearly.
Yue Xingwen rubbed his eyes and typed: "Let Xiaotu go ahead and investigate, it seems that there is land!"
This news shocked everyone's spirits at the same time, Ke Shaobin immediately let Xiaotu slide forward along the glacier, and at the same time turned on the radar scan to take pictures of the surrounding environment. Xiaotu stepped on the roller skating and slid forward quickly. After a while, Ke Shaobin's laptop showed a spectacular scene—
There is a snow mountain not far away, and at the foot of the snow mountain is a large plain!
Although there are not many flowers and green trees on the plain, and only some tenacious weeds can survive in such a low temperature environment, it is land. Where there is land, there may be animals!
Ke Shaobin stood up excitedly, pointed to the front and said: "Xiaotu detected that there is land ahead, 1 km away from us!"
Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Pingce, let's move on."
Jiang Pingce controlled the glass bottle convoy to quickly come to the edge of the land. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Yue Xingwen looked around and said, "Hurry up and build a base, and then look around to see if there are any beasts that can be hunted."
Zhang Xiaonian immediately summoned the excavator to start working.
The permafrost layer is not easy to dig. It took him 20 minutes to dig out an underground castle. Yue Xingwen said: "Those who are not feeling well and have cold symptoms will stay at the base to rest, and others will come with me to find food."
They hadn't eaten for over 30 hours and desperately needed a boost of energy.
Xu Yishen and Lan Yarong both had some colds. Zhang Xiaonian wanted to build a wall inside. Qin Miao's cup of wine to release Bingquan was of little use to animals. The four stayed at the base, and the others followed Yue Xingwen to find animals.
Qin Lu said: "The animals in the Ice Age are more ferocious, everyone should be careful."
Yue Xingwen reminded: "As soon as my torrential rain is summoned, it will hail directly, and I can't amplify my skills. Therefore, we can't use knife rain and acid rain to hunt animals. Everyone will adapt to the situation later."
Xiaotu was investigating in front, and everyone followed behind.
Since the radar detection of the small map can scan the surrounding area of 1 km, and can also find live animals, it is very convenient to search for prey. It didn't take long for Ke Shaobin's laptop to have a large red, green and green spot.
Ke Shaobin typed in surprise: "At an angle of 30 degrees to the left, 500 meters ahead, there is a large animal!"
Yue Xingwen immediately typed: "Everyone don't make a sound, and slowly approach to capture."
He simply used Lu Xun's skill "Humans have different joys and sorrows, I just think they are noisy".
For a while, everything was silent, and even the sound of falling snow and the wind were blocked.
Everyone quickly came to the location detected by the small picture, and looked forward—
I saw a cave in front of me, with a dark entrance, I couldn't see what was inside. The animal that Xiaotu detected was in this cave. At this time, the animal seemed to be sleeping motionless.
Qin Lu looked around and typed: "It may be a cave bear."
Ke Shaobin asked curiously, "What's the difference between the cave bear and the bear we saw in the zoo?"
Qin Lu typed: "The cave bear is a species of the Ice Age, which became extinct millions of years ago. They are huge, usually more than 2 meters tall and weigh as much as 800 jins, omnivorous, ancient giants with dragon-like bones! "
Xin Yan frowned and said, "My retort can't hold such a big animal."
Lan Yarong smiled bitterly and said, "I can't even fit in my cell."
Liu Zhaoqing asked, "Is the skin thick? Can my scalpel pierce through it?"
How do they capture such a huge ancient beast
At this moment, Ke Shaobin's expression suddenly changed, and he typed quickly: "It's over, Xiaotu has detected a large number of heat sources around, and it seems that we have strayed into the territory of some kind of giant beast!"
