Chapter 361: Land of Rock Salt, Stone Trap!(4k)
There was a mess all around.
Broken sword and halberd.
Everywhere.
Sensen's white bones.
Piles of three or five.
It's horrible.
It seems that the Twin Mountains must have experienced an extremely cruel battle back then.
Avery's big dream of spring and autumn.
In the end, it's like a castle in the sky that hasn't been built yet.
So far, it was ruined.
And that mysterious country of dreams.
It should have completely disappeared into the depths of the mountains of Euredia.
The utopian dreams of thieves.
So far, the fetus is stillborn.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, the state has just been formed.
The low-level crew discovered the secret of the privatization of the property of the ruling class.
This in turn led to a large-scale riot.
Afterward.
Inside the ruling group formed by several pirate kings.
There is also a gradual distinction between high and low.
Thereupon.
While suppressing the people at the bottom, the top management has fallen into endless infighting.
In the end, society completely collapsed and disintegrated.
It became a battle for treasure.
......
Walk over to a white skeleton.
Lu Yu took a medieval knight's sword from the corpse's hand and looked at it.
The body of the sword was covered with rust.
Bleak.
Like its master who died for his wealth.
Look at the devastation everywhere.
Lu Yu paused for a long time.
Finally muttered:
"Avery's pirate utopia, it sounds like a joke. β
But in reality, it is not. β
"Because each of us has some kind of fantasy about utopiaβ"
"I always think that there will be a place in the world where 'strange traffic chickens and dogs smell each other'. We ordinary people are still like this, let alone these pirates who are born and die every day. β
It was this that Avery took advantage of, and deceived them into Euredia by painting cakes to satisfy his hunger for the Doomsday thieves who had been adrift on the sea. β
"And then step by step to realize their own scheme. β
Of course, maybe at first, he didn't think about it that way. β
"But don't forget, this guy is a thief. A thief for one day, a thief for life. When a bandit is faced with a huge amount of wealth, what is the so-called utopia, and what is it? It is really not worth mentioning......
Put down your sword.
Lu Yu stood up.
And he added:
"A place like Xanadu may exist, but the only premise is that there must be no humans. β
"Otherwise, nothing is empty talk. β
Where there are people.
There are contradictions.
It's unavoidable.
It is also an eternal truth.
......
Stayed there for a while.
Lu Yu walked through the rock platform and came to the next staircase.
space here.
It's a lot bigger than before.
Looks.
It looks like a cave.
Such caves, in limestone mountains, are very common.
The scene inside the cave is still the same as before.
Traces of fighting can be seen everywhere.
Huge space.
Piled with all kinds of bones.
It's spectacular.
Look at the picture in front of you.
Some timid viewers in the live broadcast room covered their eyes for the first time.
exclaimed again and again in the barrage:
"It's scary!"
"This Nima is a mass grave, right?"
"Damn, what's the situation!"
"Is the feather god's courage really big, and he is not afraid at all?"
"Trembling!"
"It's a wolf!"
......
Walk through thousands of bones and corpses.
Lu Yu continued to move forward along the path and the dark river in the cave, looking for traces of the legendary treasure.
Let the pirates build a utopia.
This is no less difficult than getting Big Brother to build a brave new world.
Literary point to say.
Both are imbued with unrealistically romantic idealism.
The final ending.
It can well be imagined.
Just imagine a group of like-minded people coming to an isolated island with a lot of wealth.
Strange traffic chickens and dogs smell each other.
Ancient vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water.
It's a pirate version of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".
The only difference is that the scene of self-happiness is eternal.
But behind it lies the tragedy of this pirate utopia shattered like "The Last Supper".
That's right.
It's a tragedy.
Ugly human nature is not worth scrutinizing here at all.
Over time.
Lu Yu walked forward along the river for a while.
Instead, they entered a primitive cave.
The rock structure of the cave ** wall.
There are many traces of river erosion.
It is speculated based on the distance and the elevation of the twin mountains.
The location of the cave should be right at the eruption node of the entire underground river.
As a result, the entire cave is often subjected to torrents.
And so on.
The various upside-down stalagmites hanging above their heads have lost their momentum.
It becomes very smooth.
There are no edges and corners.
It looks weird.
After going deeper into the cave for a certain distance, the moisture in the cave also increased.
Between a breath and a breath.
A lot of water vapor condensed in Lu Yu's nostrils.
If you are not careful, it will flow down the middle of the person and into the mouth.
Taste.
Salty.
At first, the scene of the cave ** was nothing special.
Murky.
Cramped.
Damp.
Continue.
However, it took less than five minutes to move forward.
The situation has changed dramatically.
The original black and rugged cave ** wall.
Sudden makeover.
It turned into a shiny silvery-white.
See this scene.
Lu Yu was suspicious.
His brow furrowed.
Squinting his eyes, he hurriedly walked over.
By the time he saw it clearly, the inner wall of the cave had completely changed!
At this time.
The structure of the rock is no longer the limestone it used to be.
Instead, it became a completely transparent, crystal-like crystal!
These crystals are attached to the inner walls of the cave in large areas.
Reflecting the faint blue light.
It feels like walking into a crystal cave.
Slowly stopped.
Lu Yu raised his eyes and looked around.
Then, get close to it as soon as possible.
Look at these white crystalline objects.
The crystals are lumpy.
Angular.
Extremely transparent.
It looks like crystal.
However, judging from the crystallization situation and growth trend, this crystal does not have the characteristics of crystal.
It's more like rock candy?
As for what exactly, it is impossible to draw conclusions at this time.
In the live broadcast room.
See this scene in front of the camera.
A lot of viewers also came to be interested.
guessed feverishly in the barrage:
"Crystals?"
"Rock candy?"
"Crystal +1!"
"I feel like it's crystal too!"
"Feather, what the hell is this?!"
"Looks delicious?"
"I'm so scared, Yushen bites it!"
β23333333β
When there are different opinions.
Lu Yu stared at those crystals and nodded thoughtfully.
Then he put his head in front of a crystal.
Homeopathic opened his mouth and licked on the stone......
This move immediately stunned the audience in front of the screen!
Everyone was talking casually.
But I never expected that this guy would really want to ......
Nima!
What's going on?!
When the audience looked at him like a monster, the taste of crystals had already spread in Lu Yu's mouth.
Salty.
Exceptionally salty.
Surprisingly salty.
It's like taking a big sip of salt.
Although it was just a lick, the whole mouth was filled with a sharp saltiness.
It didn't dissipate for a long time.
The next second.
Lu Yu licked his lips unsatisfactorily.
Then he raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone is right." β
"This rock crystal is really a kind of food. β
Hearing him say this, the audience was even more puzzled.
The screen is full of question marks.
Food?
Just kidding, right?
Looked at.
Lu Yu waved his hand and denied everyone's arguments.
Then, softly explained:
"Brothers, this is no ordinary stone, but rock salt. β
"Rock salt, also known as 'stone salt', is a naturally occurring salt crystal in nature that can be taken directly for application. β
In other words, we can use it as salt to cook all kinds of food. For example, when you barbecue meat, if you have a piece of rock salt in your hand, believe me, the taste will definitely go up several notches. β
Between words.
Lu Yu remotely controlled the drone and filmed around the inner wall of the cave.
The crystalline essence of rock salt.
Covered with a faint vitreous sheen.
Some are colorless and transparent.
Some are pure white.
The crystal shape is a regular cube.
Accumulate and embellished.
Like a chess piece.
That's why.
It was also known as "Bright Salt", "Crystal Salt", "Yuhua Salt", or "White Salt".
Rock salt in caves.
Because it accumulates in the ground.
So.
The purity is not high.
Some are mixed with some metal compounds of impurities or sludge.
And with a certain special shade.
Rock salt is mostly found in self-salt wells.
And then there's the natural condensation and precipitation of the salt lake.
Of course.
There are exceptions.
For example, after the water of ancient seas and lakes dried up, it is possible to crystallize such crystals through the movement of the earth's crust.
With the geological conditions and climatic environment of Olidia, it is not surprising that rock salt can be produced.
During the entire geological movement of the island, the sea water evaporates due to natural causes.
Rock salt as a sedimentary rock.
Eventually covered on the surface of the mountain.
Crystals.
Sandwiched between a variety of rock formations.
Rock salt is one of the richest evaporites in the world.
In the order of seawater precipitation, it is behind the gypsum and anhydrite.
For this reason, gypsum and anhydrite are often found under the rock salt.
......
After giving the audience a general introduction to the origin of stone salt.
Lu Yu took the stone axe from his waist and cut off a piece of it on a loose crystal.
I held it in my hand.
"If we can escape from this underground river alive, such a large piece of rock salt will be enough for me to eat for a long time. β
"Stone salt doesn't need to be processed anymore, pick up the ingredients and rub them on it, it will have a salty taste, which is very convenient. β
"Stone salt contains a lot of minerals that we need for life, and it is also a physiological necessity in animal life, and if you don't eat salt, people will die......"
Rock salt is one of the first minerals to be searched and exchanged in the early days of human civilization.
Back then, the salary of the ancient Roman army was stone salt.
This shows how important salt is to human beings.
At this time, an audience member in the live broadcast room asked: "Since people will die if they don't eat salt, why is the anchor okay?"
Lu Yu smiled, and then explained:
"The main reason why people can't do without salt is that the minerals contained in stone salt are necessary for human life activities. β
"These minerals are widely distributed in nature, and there are many alternatives to them that can be used for daily needs without direct ingestion. It's just that the amount is relatively small. β
"This matter, in fact, is very easy to understand, like other wild animals, primitive humans who have no supply of commercial salt, there are no more than two sources of salt, either some animal food, or foraging for some natural mineral salts, which is similar to the situation I am in.
"Of course, the problem is obvious, because the amount of sodium that can be eaten is very low, but the daily sodium loss is very low without sweating profusely, and the above intake is enough to meet the needs. β
At this time, someone said something in the barrage.
Primitive people could only live in the tropics because they did not have enough warmth measures, and heavy sweating must be a daily routine.
After sweating a lot, sodium loss is severe, and in the end, don't you still want GG?
Moreover, in my impression, Lu Yu works every day and sweats a lot.
Why is there nothing at all?
"Brothers, this relies heavily on a 'skill' in the human body called 'heat adaptation'. β
"When a person sweats a lot of daily in a hot environment for a long time, the sweat glands can make adaptive changes, which greatly enhances the sodium reabsorption capacity, and even if a lot of sweating, the sodium loss is very small, so it's okay. β
"Well, isn't the human body amazing? Our body has evolved over thousands of years to get to where it is today, so it's far less fragile than you think......
β66666οΌβ
"Watching the live broadcast of the feather god, it is a rising posture!"
"Awesome, my belt scientist!"
"The amount of knowledge is invincible!"
"Encyclopedia online!"
"Hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated!"
"Haha!"
......
Put the rock salt in the quiver behind your waist.
Lu Yu continued to walk forward.
It took nearly six or seven hundred meters to completely leave this "land of stone and salt".
At this time.
The light of the cave ** also dimmed again, completely returning to normal.
About ten more minutes passed.
The space of the cave.
Bigger and bigger.
On both sides of the rock wall, traces of civilization can already be seen.
Dilapidated lamps.
Chained.
One after the other.
Not surprisingly, this place must have been excavated by hand.
Otherwise, this will never be the case.
Outcome.
No surprises.
The next scene quickly verified Lu Yu's idea.
Straight in front of the line of sight.
A huge stone gate.
Completely blocking the way forward!
The stone gate is very ingeniously designed, and there are many patterns carved into it.
There is a circular Gothic pattern in the middle.
The symbol of the utopian balance is impressive!
The left and right sides of the stone gate.
Each stands a stone lamp with a simple shape.
There is something strange about the shape.
Stood in the distance and looked.
Lu Yu walked straight to the stone lamp on the left with suspicion, squatted down and observed carefully.
Can be final.
But nothing special was found.
So, he turned around and came to the right.
As a result, just a closer look, I found that there was a greasy inside.
The lamp in the stone lamp on the right is obviously much more protruding than the one on the left.
Look.
It should be a mechanism.
Seeing this, Lu Yu stretched out his hand and twisted it hard.
I used my strength to breastfeed.
The lamp is also immovable.
Then.
Tried again.
But the result is still the same.
There is no way.
Lu Yu took a breath.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his head, he slowly muttered to the camera:
"Brothers. β
"The mystery should be in the lamp. β
"I don't know why, after screwing it for a long time, this thing still doesn't move......"
