Chapter 12: The South Slope
The next day, when I got up early in the morning, Zilei was gone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Roar, didn't the third brother be carried away by ants, right?" Zidian still remembered Zilei's reproach last time.
"No, we set up a tent this time, and this tent is still there. Zifeng looked at the tent, as if it had just been opened.
Looking into the distance, it turned out that Zilei had gotten up early in the morning to study the remains of the two-headed snake. Three people ran over. The two-headed snake had run out of blood, and after a night of weathering, some of it had dried up.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Zidian asked.
Zi Lei stood up and said: "This snake has grown so big, it must be hundreds of years old, like a mutant variety, I just wondered, why are the creatures in this area so strange, and all kinds of mutations have become extremely intense." ”
Ziyu peeled a little snake skin with a knife, although the outside of this snake skin is rough, but the inside is soft and delicate, and the thin layer is very strong, if it is not for the Qi Tiebao knife, it is really difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate.
"Big brother, this snakeskin is a good thing, in the past few days, our clothes have been dirty and torn, you might as well make a snakeskin coat." Ziyu said.
"Yes, big brother, I also have this intention, yesterday my clothes were lit with burning ants, and I am worried about wearing them. Zilei echoed.
Zifeng also thought that this was a good idea, after all, there was a fierce fight yesterday, and the clothes were already rubbed like dun cloth.
The four of them peeled off the skin little by little with a strange iron knife, cut it to the size of their bodies, and sewed it with the sewing kit they brought. When I pricked it with a needle, I found that this snakeskin was like a coarse cloth, composed of horizontal and vertical fibers, which were extremely strong. Between the fibers is a semi-permeable membrane, which can be breathed by mouth, and the needle can be pulled out and healed naturally, which is miraculous.
Soon the four of them sewed the clothes and pants, saying that the clothes and pants were actually a cloak and apron, a little rough, but they fit well. The snakeskin suit is cool on the body, like wearing an air conditioner, and countless semi-permeable membranes expel heat and sweat from the body, keeping the body dry and extremely comfortable. Some of the remaining snake skins are too thick, and some of them were poked into holes yesterday, and there are not many things that can be used, so pack and take away what can be used for later use.
In addition to the snake skin, there is also a snake gall bladder on the snake, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. With great effort, the four of them finally turned over to the snake gall, which was the size of a fist, purple and black, and because the snake was extremely angry when it died, the snake gall was full of bile.
The snake gall was cold in his hand, Zi Lei was curious, licked it with his tongue, and instantly ate a box of Huoxiang Zhengqi plus ten mints, the whole body was cool, and the feeling of light and fluttering, what troubles and sorrows were all left behind.
"It's so cool!" said this, Zilei's excited voice changed.
"Isn't it?" The three of them all licked it, and sure enough, as Zilei said, the hundred-year-old giant snake's gall was extraordinary, and it was so cold that his voice was trembling when he spoke.
The four brothers put on snake skin clothes and held snake gall bladders, although they were covered in injuries, they were relieved a lot to get these treasures.
Tidy up a bit and move on.
Out of the horn mouth, in front of a barren mountain and bald mountains, not only no grass, not even live animals and insects, like a Gobi desert, the scorching sun, although there is a snakeskin coat, but also keep sweating. It's too hot, so I take turns licking the hundred-year-old snake gall.
Strange to say, this snake gall is not only not rotten, but also keeps it cool, like a piece of meat ice, it seems that this snake gall has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for a hundred years.
"It's too hot, big brother, like the Flame Mountain, according to what the master said, there should be trees and forests here, why are the mountains bare? It's not a mistake?" Ziyu looked down at the compass and suddenly exclaimed: "The pointer of this compass is pointing wrong, the pointer is swinging randomly." ”
"GPS is out of signal" Zidian also discovered this strange phenomenon.
"It's a little strange, something must have happened," Zifeng muttered.
Climb a hill and reach a commanding height, with the entire southern slope in full view. Zifeng squatted down and began to dig a hole with a sapper shovel until he dug into the wet soil, and tried it with his hands.
"I think I've found the place we're looking for," Zifeng said slowly, pointing down the mountain.
"What do you say about this eldest brother?" Ziyu asked.
"Do you still remember that smooth talk? On the south slope, there are many strange things, no grass grows, no trees grow, and you step on the ground to be crispy," Zifeng asked.
"Remember, there are a lot of strange things, how do you understand this crispy crisp in the back?" Zidian looked at Zifeng suspiciously.
Ma Su Su said that there was electricity, but the wetland would conduct electricity, so I dug out the wet soil with a sapper shovel and tried it with my hands, and it was indeed a little numb, indicating that there was an electric current passing through the depths of the ground. If there is no signal from the compass and GPS in this damn place, it means that there is an electromagnetic field, and there must be a power supply nearby. Zifeng looked at the bottom of the mountain and gestured with his hand:
"You see, there is no grass in this place, with the soil slope as the center, radiating outward, and gradually there are some wild grasses, indicating that it is the center of the magnetic field, that is, the power supply, I don't know what we are looking for, but there must be something hidden under that place, maybe it has something to do with our background, we should dig and dig"
Zifeng's words are very reasonable, and the brothers keep generating question marks in their heads, what is it that can produce current for so long, how deep to dig, and how much voltage to have?
"If we dig it, will we be electrified? There is electricity so far away, and the center position is not up to 10,000 volts?" Zidian said the key question.
"Say you can't do physics, there is a potential difference to be electrified, radiating from the center to the outside, the voltage gradually decreases, that is to say, we just have to jump and walk and be fine, take 10,000 steps back, we still have this snakeskin." After saying that, Zifeng wanted to laugh himself.
"This snakeskin can be insulated, how do you know, big brother?" Zidian asked.
At this time, Zi Lei squatted and tried it, and said, "It can indeed be insulated." In fact, if you think about it, there is a reason for this giant snake to make a nest here, and the voltage under it should not be low. The snakeskin is constructed to be strong and insulating. It can grow so big, it is likely to be caused by electrical stimulation and the pituitary gland secreting a large amount of ghrelin, just like gigantism in humans.
"Then why are there two heads, and they are also current-excited?" Zidian asked.
Zi Lei's face was full of black lines, "It has nothing to do with that, the two heads are born, I suspect that there is radiation in this place, and the creatures have mutated, not only the two-headed snake, but also the big ant I have seen such a big one in my life, and those strange insects and animals in the rainforest when I came, I dare not say that there is radiation now, but at least there has been one here, I don't recommend staying in this place for a long time, if there is really radiation, it won't take long for us to hang up." ”
"e on, let's work" Zifeng is also afraid.
The brothers copied out the sapper shovel, tied the snakeskin clothes, protected their hands and legs, and followed Zifeng to start digging at the position he had just pointed out.
Just like Zifeng said, there is electricity underground, and as soon as the dry soil is shoveled off, it feels that there is a strong suction, indicating that there is a strong electric field below. As the depth increases, the electric field becomes stronger and stronger, and the four brothers dare not be careless, and the slight potential difference may hang up to the skin.
In the evening, a pit more than two meters deep had been dug, and the four people were so tired that they were out of breath.
"When the sound ... Zidian hit something with a shovel, and the shovel was firmly sucked in.
"Big brother, I've dug something," Zidian whispered, as if he was robbing a tomb.
Zifeng pulled out the shovel: "It's the electricity that this guy discharged, everyone dig lightly, don't stab it." ”
The four of them were cautious, some digging, some sweeping, some prying, and from time to time there were sparks, and occasionally they would be burned by sparks. Gradually, this thing revealed its true colors.
This thing is hemispherical, more than a meter in diameter, and the outside is black, as if it was burned by something. The sapper shovel shovels to remove the black scale, the material is hard, and it can be seen that it is the same material as the Qi Tiebao knife. This also confirms that the strange iron that the master picked up in this place was the whole thing that fell.
Looking at the cross-section of the hemisphere, it is clear that it turned out to be a ball, the upper part is missing, the cross-section is very flat, and in the middle is a five-pointed star, and each of the five corners of the five-pointed star has five holes the size of a kettle, which has been filled with silt. There is a round crystal in the middle of the pentagram, the crystal generally glows with a faint white light, and the middle is a "one" shaped groove.
Zifeng looked at it for a long time, felt like a big screw, inserted the corner of the shovel into the groove, twisted it hard, clicked, and popped out, it turned out to be a crystal pillar, the size of a thumb.
When it popped up, the light disappeared and the surrounding electricity was gone.
"Big brother, we have made a fortune, this is a big crystal" Zidian is happy like a child.
"Go, what crystal, after this thing is pulled out, there will be no electricity around, which means that this is a switch, a switch made of crystal, a bit extravagant" Ziyu is quite knowledgeable.
Zifeng took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, it was heavy, under the illumination of the headlamp, he could see that there was liquid flowing inside, like oil, at the other end of the crystal, there was a protrusion, there was a hole on it, Zifeng subconsciously pressed the protrusion.
In an instant, the entire crystal emitted a dazzling white light, Zifeng was frightened, opened his hand, and the crystal floated up and floated in the air. In the white light, a city appeared, which radiated outwards in a circular circle, just like the second, third, and fourth rings of Beijing, but it was much more regular than that, and in the middle of the city was a tall and pointed giant building like the core of the city. Zooming in, there are various buildings in the city, such as temples, amphitheaters, arenas, public baths, etc. In the city, all vehicles can float in the air, and the road traffic is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, all of which are very fast, but abide by certain rules. There were saucers flying in the air, similar to our current airplanes.
The picture continues to zoom in, and you can see that the people in the city, men and women, old people and children, are all black-haired and blue-eyed, both men and women are perfect in appearance, and they are all handsome guys and beautiful women in today's words. Wearing a robe and high shoes with peculiar symbols that are different from now, they look very elegant. Look closely, everyone has a crystal like this one hanging around their necks.
Suddenly, the whole city shook, the earth began to sink, fireballs began to fall in the sky, buildings collapsed, people scattered, but it all came so suddenly, people had nowhere to hide, and soon all this was swallowed up by the sea。。。。。
Zifeng was startled by the sudden disaster, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning, and it turned out to be a dream. The protrusions of the crystal had bounced up and landed on the ground.
The other three also woke up, and none of them knew how to fall asleep, and they were all surprised when they mentioned the dream they had last night, because they all had the same dream, and everything in the dream was so detailed, like watching a movie.
Zifeng tried to press the bulge on the crystal, but this time the crystal only glowed and floated up, but there was no scene from last night.
"Big brother, take away the supernatural powers, there is radiation" It turned out that Zilei found that as soon as this thing is turned on, there is no signal for any compass and GPS.
Zifeng hurriedly pressed the crystal again, "It seems that this thing is not that simple, let's go back and study it", after saying that, Zifeng found a thread, passed through the hole above, and then hung it around his neck.
The rest of the hemisphere, without electricity, can already be touched directly with your hands. The cross-section is smooth, and the five holes, although filled with silt, are cold and cold inside, like refrigerators. Faced with this thing, the four of them had some bold inferences.
"According to the master, is it really this thing that we picked up nearby?" Zidian stroked the ball carefully.
"There is still a possibility of this, you see, the hole in the middle of the pentagram should be an energy supply device, the crystal may be similar to a battery, after insertion, it will supply energy to these five holes through the five sides of the pentagram, the five holes will be kept cold, and the creature can remain dormant for a long time in a low-temperature frozen state, for some reason, the ball is broken. Zifeng's inference makes sense.
"Then why can this little thing have such strong energy?" Ziyu was skeptical.
"But why are there five holes?" Zidian meant to say, we only have four brothers.
"Uh。。。。。。。。 Could it be that the master chooses one less," Zilei said in surprise.
"I'll just say that the master was sloppy, I didn't look for it well back then, and we lost a brother" Zidian regretted.
This inference caused a lot of questions among the brothers, and Zifeng couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only wait until he went back to study it well before he could find out, and he really wanted to reveal it.
Although the hemisphere is made of the same lightweight material as the Qi Tiebao knife, the quality is also hundreds of catties, and it is impossible to carry it back to the research laboratory, so in the end, the four of them decided to bury the ball first, mark it, and then have the opportunity to pick it up later.
