"The change in temperature." Anshui said to everyone: "At this moment, it has already begun." As he spoke, he took out a thermometer from his backpack. In fact, Anshui knew the temperature without looking at it, but he still had to install it. : "It's twenty-four degrees Celsius here right now. If my observations are correct, the temperature is continuing to drop, slowly, but surely."
The gunsmith added next to him: "By the way, we have lost our 'feeling' now. Even if it's as cold as an ice cellar here, we won't feel the cold."
"What do you mean, what is 'loss of feeling'?" the knights asked one after another.
"A bunch of slow guys." The consultant said: "What he means is that although the five senses in the general sense are still alive, they have been deviated. You can feel the hunger, fatigue, and even excretion and mental discomfort. Insecurity."
After everyone heard this, their expressions quickly changed.
The consultant continued: "To put it simply, the alert mechanism of our brain for 'self-protection' has been lifted. If you don't blink your eyes for a long time, you will not feel sore and swollen. If you hold your breath for a long time, you will not feel uncomfortable. When you are injured, there will be no pain." It will be reduced accordingly, and there will be no tension or panic when encountering very critical situations.”
"Doesn't this sound very beneficial?" one person asked.
"Hmph..." The consultant sneered. Just when he was about to unleash a full-level taunt, Vanessa explained before he could speak: "No, this is very dangerous. The brain uses pain, fear, and discomfort to remind us of threats to our body. . If this feeling is lost, people will easily die without knowing it."
The consultant was interrupted by her and missed the best opportunity to ridicule. He had to give up and continued in an impatient tone: "In other words, you can hold your breath for more than five minutes and still not feel uncomfortable at all, but your body will still Death from hypoxia; you can also eat dozens of kilograms of food without feeling bloating or discomfort, but it will not affect the occurrence of gastric perforation." He stretched out two fingers: "Also, let me remind you that what we are facing now Death threats generally fall into two categories, both related to time.
First, our biological clocks have lost their function, and watches and electronic devices have stopped functioning... "
When the consultant said this, many people took out communication devices from their backpacks and pockets, or looked down at their watches. They were surprised to find that all the time-keeping tools seemed to have stopped in the passage.
"... In this ruins, the passage of time cannot be calculated with instruments. We who have lost our sense of hunger and do not know the time may die of hunger or thirst without knowing it due to not eating or drinking for a long time." The consultant said on the side As he spoke, he took off his breathing mask: "This one can be taken off. As far as I know, the air quality inside this ruin is better than anywhere else in the world. There's no need to worry about that."
Probably influenced by the consultant's words, some people went to drink water as soon as they took off their masks.
"I would also like to remind you that because there is no urgency to urinate, you may become incontinent over time." The consultant added maliciously, and the person who drank the water sprayed out the water in his mouth.
The gunsmith looked thoughtful and said to himself: "Sure enough... it was so dangerous at that time..."
"Of course, I think the possibility of staying in the ruins for that long is very small, because the low temperature had killed us long before that." The consultant smiled as if he was succeeding, and received all kinds of hateful looks. "So, another threat is naturally that the temperature drops. It's summer now, and everyone is wearing thin clothes when they come down. And we can't feel the cold. Once the temperature drops below zero, someone may be unaware of it. He died of hypothermia and exhaustion.”
Suisside said at this time: "We can go back to get the equipment to keep out the cold, and then turn back again."
The consultant said: "Don't you understand? I made it clear enough. The key is 'time'. Team leader John also told us that the temperature is slowly decreasing every second. Who knows what the low temperature limit of this ruins is?" , forty degrees below zero? Two hundred degrees below zero? Now, when this team goes back, adds cold-proof equipment, and then comes down, where will the temperature drop
We are still in the temperature range where humans can survive. The period between 24 degrees Celsius and minus 20 degrees Celsius is the only time to explore the ruins. If the temperature continues to drop and drops to close to absolute zero, then Even if you send robots down, it will be useless.
We have no choice but to move forward, trying to find the treasure quickly and bring back the important parts before freezing to death. You only have one chance, and you will probably fail and die here. If anyone doesn't want to participate, I suggest you go back now, just in time to report the situation here to your superiors. "
After the consultant said this, he walked away a few steps: "Members of Steel Commandment, you can discuss this. I will stay aside and call you in five minutes. By the way, I can calculate the rate of temperature decrease."
Vanessa glanced at him: "The watch is out of order, how do you know that five minutes have passed?"
The consultant tapped his temple with his finger: "Human timekeeping, I count seconds very accurately, and the error will not exceed two seconds every twenty-four hours." He smiled: "In fact, I started counting before entering the passage Calculated, so, I guess I am the only living clock here that knows the time." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the dark water.
The twelve members of Steel Command did not discuss it for five minutes. They, or rather she, made a decision quickly.
Seeing the ten knights all come to the rope and climb back up one by one, the consultant walked towards Vanessa again and asked: "What? Don't you need to explain to other senior leaders of your organization?"
"I'll just ask these ten people to go up and explain." Vanessa replied.
"Well... the general will be away, so military orders will be violated, right..." the advisor read.
"My Chinese is average, don't talk about classical Chinese." Vanessa asked immediately: "So... now there are only five people left. Can you ask your team leader to speed up the pace of action? I don't want to freeze to death here."
After all the knights went up, the advisor said to the dark water: "Temperature?"
"22.6." Dark Water answered.
"Oh..." The consultant thought for two seconds and said, "The temperature will drop to zero in about two hours. If we haven't found the treasure by then, we should consider giving up and evacuating."
An Shui said at this time: "It's time to teleport."
At this point, Vanessa and Suisside still didn't know most of the situation of the ruins, and they were a little at a loss when they heard this sentence. They only saw the explorer John press his hand on a handprint symbol on the ground, and the whole room was engulfed in cyan light...
