65. Strange Beam (2/3)
After walking the cats and dogs, there is another important task today, that is, to harvest the grass, after a week of care, the newly planted grass can already harvest the first crop.
This weather is also suitable for farm work, neither hot nor lukewarm, there is a light breeze, and the grass is harvested before the noon heat is warmed, and the afternoon is easy to bask in the sun.
Early in the morning, Turks went to Uncle Benjamin to borrow a lawn mower, although the Straw Hat Ranch is not large, but it is a mature old ranch with all kinds of facilities, there are two tractors alone, not to mention all kinds of small equipment.
The lawn mower was detached and needed to be pulled by a tractor, the largest wheel was six meters wide, and there were seven or eight large and small wheels in the front and rear, and Tex looked petite when he stood next to the machine.
When I borrowed it, the mower was dragged by the tractor with its head outward and butt inward, and now it needs to be turned around and re-attached so that it follows the tractor head-forward. The three men of the ranch struggled to move the behemoth, its huge wheels in the way, and it took them a lot of effort to move each time.
"Uncle Frank, you're here to drive a tractor, you're experienced. Emperor Wu said.
Frank said no problem, and he quickly climbed into the tractor cab and drove backwards little by little under the command of Emperor Wu, merging the two cars into one.
"Perfect!"
The hook slipped into the lawnmower's baffle hook, and Emperor Wu shouted at Frank.
Frank jumped off the tractor, and Tex stepped forward to fasten the connection between the two machines, and wrapped a few more thick cables around to make sure they didn't unhook while working.
Lao Xue seems to want to experience the life of a meow cowboy, and has been jumping next to the lawnmower.
Frank laughed and put it in the cab, and the guy immediately jumped off again.
Frank spread his hands helplessly.
"Haha, there must be too much smoke in it, Benjamin is also an old smoking gun, and he can find tobacco leaves in his ranch at any time. Emperor Wu pointed to the yellowed seat on the tractor.
"That's right, I don't have to light a cigarette when I sit inside, and this old guy smokes fancy cigarettes. "Frank is very energetic, he loves to do farm work.
It was right for Frank to leave the mowing of the grass to him, and he could keep the grass in order with his eyes closed.
It didn't take long for the tractor to let out a loud roar, and several large wheels slowly turned, dragging the lawn mower behind it to work, it spread its arms like a big octopus, capable of covering a distance of ten meters.
As he walked, Frank adjusted the height of the mowing field, a technical task, too low would cut off the young shoots, and too high would only cut off the surface of the grass that had no nutrients.
The novice will stop the car, jump down to check the height of the lawn mower arm, then climb into the cab to adjust, and repeat the action until it is in the right position. But for the old cowboy Frank, all he had to do was light a cigarette pen, pin his hands behind his head and hum a ballad to listen to the sound of the lawnmower, adjusting the height according to the sound of the mowing gear, a skill that only a veteran cowboy would have.
Emperor Wu and they could not be idle, they had to clean up the forage room, and the work would not be easy for a while, so they had to use the old-fashioned manual baler to beat the forage into bales.
Grass doesn't honestly toss you, they fly all over the baler, and they itch a little when they fall on your body.
"BOSS, DO YOU WANT TO CUT ALL THE GRASS?" SAID FRANK'S VOICE OVER THE INTERCOM.
Although Emperor Wu gave Frank a lot of trust and was free to decide on the routine work of the ranch, Frank would ask Emperor Wu for advice every time he made a decision, which was his attitude towards work.
"Uncle Frank, do you think it's feasible to cut off half of it and use the other half to raise cattle and sheep?"
"Of course it works, and I think it's a good idea. Frank replied with a smile, and in his eyes, Emperor Wu was a modest and respectful and decisive young man, even more pleasant than when the Hans were there.
The Three Dog Brothers saw the white smoke tractor for the first time and ran after them excitedly, Frank loved to whistle and tease them, and the South Australian Three Boys ran tirelessly, playing with each other.
The way they run in the grassland reminds Emperor Wu of the sonic cat, when he first saw the sonic cat at Flemington Racecourse, that kind of spiritual look made him unable to forget, Patricia is coming soon, and when the time comes, you can learn about the sonic cat, and the most likely outcome is to follow Mr. Kane to Alice Springs in northern Australia, and the northern wild area will be its paradise.
Frank took advantage of the harvest break to bring the harvested grass to the hay room, and Mrs. Rachel took Emperor Wu and Turks to bundle the grass.
The baler is old, not very bright, and often jammed, making the work progress very slow, but everyone is still happy, and they see that the South Australian ranch is getting on the right track little by little.
During this period, a group of tourists driving RVs entered the ranch and asked if they could camp by the lake, but Emperor Wu refused, he did not want the ranch to become a tourist destination, and he did not want outsiders to disturb the tranquility here. However, the RV aroused the interest of Emperor Wu, and he could buy a family RV within 200,000 Australian dollars, if he was not shy in his pocket, Emperor Wu really had the urge to get one, and he could go to the beach for a vacation on the weekend.
"BOSS, Huaxi Lake has a strange beam of light. ”
Uncle Frank's words made Emperor Wu serious, because he had also seen it just now, thinking that it was an ordinary halo and didn't take it seriously.
"It's like someone shining from the bottom of a lake, but it's much stronger than a flashlight. ”
"I saw it too, so I'm going to go over and see what happens. Emperor Wu said to the walkie-talkie, turned his head and said to Tex again: "Xiaoqiang, let's go to Huaxi Lake to have a look, Uncle Frank saw a strange beam." ”
"What?" Xiao Qiang followed Emperor Wu out of the forage room with questions.
From the position of the wooden house, a faint beam of light can be seen obliquely emitting from the surface of the lake, and the closer you get to the sky, the lighter it gets, and it disappears completely at a distance of about 10 meters.
"God, what's going on there. Tex said as he sat in the co-pilot of the Raptor, staring intently.
The birds of prey rushed towards Huaxi Lake at the fastest speed, because of the existence of the spirit of Shennong, Emperor Wu fully believed that there was a supernatural power in this world, and the beam of light was very strange, at first it was warm yellow, and slowly transitioned to blue.
When they were about to reach Huaxi Lake, the light only had a faint halo, and Emperor Wu and the two quickly ran to the shore of the lake with their shotguns, and when they reached the shore, the beam was only one outline, and Emperor Wu quickly took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the last five seconds.
In the video, a light blue beam of light can be seen slowly disappearing, and the lake is as quiet as usual.
"It's amazing. Turks looked surprised.
Emperor Wu looked at his phone, "It's 11:05." ”
Turks believed that it was a rainbow, and Emperor Wu believed that the slender beam could never be a rainbow, and according to the principle of optics, the rainbow was formed by the dispersion of sunlight shining on raindrops. When the observer is facing away from the sun and the rain area is directly in front of them, an arched rainbow is seen, and sometimes a ribbon of color called a neon, which may be a complete ring if viewed from an airplane.
The light was like a straight beam sword, shooting out from the surface of the water and straight into the air, and there was only one color for a certain period of time instead of the color of the rainbow, and Emperor Wu would rather believe that someone was bored squatting at the bottom of the water with a strong flashlight to shine the beam.
Back at the ranch, the group analyzes the strange thing in the courtyard, which Frank says has never happened before. In short, no one could tell what it was, not even guessing.
Huaxi Lake is a beautiful place, and now it has added another layer of mystery, Emperor Wu is not sure if this light has something to do with the old man Shennong, maybe his old man is hinting at something, but this is just a guess.
After harvesting half of the pasture, Emperor Wu sat in the yard and watched the video repeatedly, still without a clue.
At eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, the magical light appeared again, Emperor Wu came to the lake early to wait, and saw with his own eyes that the light shot out of the water obliquely from the surface of the lake, and when it first appeared, the strong warm yellow was more dazzling than the sun's rays, and slowly turned into a cold color, until it became a light blue and disappeared.
INCREDIBLE, EMPEROR WU SHOOK HIS HEAD AND POSTED THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK, AITE A FEW CAPABLE PEOPLE, HOPING THAT THERE WOULD BE A GREAT GOD TO ANALYZE AND ANALYZE. But the reply received was nothing but praise, and the only serious reply came from a university art teacher, who replied that the PS was good, which software did you use?
PS You're big! Do you have this spare time!
