Chapter 213: Anomalous Lava (Part II)
A reporter once asked Einstein what the theory of relativity was, and Einstein replied: "If it's a hot summer day and you sit by the stove wrapped in a coat, you will feel like you are living like a year, but if you are with a beautiful woman, you will feel that time flies too fast!" ”
This sentence is very appropriate for Dick at this time, unlike those staff who are fighting with Blizzard, Dick is sitting in the luxurious flagship at this time, and Xia Ruobing is accompanied by him, he feels that time is not so difficult, on the contrary, he feels that this is a good time to enhance the understanding between the two parties.
The temperature outside seemed to have dropped to minus 35 degrees, and the snowflakes in the sky were blowing without stopping, but the heating in the flagship was sufficient, 30 degrees, Dick took out a bottle of frozen champagne from the refrigerator and poured Xia Ruobing a glass.
The heating in the car was too much, and Xia Ruobing was wearing a lot.
"A wonderful body should not be wrapped under a heavy coat." Dick's words sound a little frivolous, but he has conquered many women with them.
Xia Ruobing was a little embarrassed, the heat wave of the air conditioner made her want to take off one of the thickest jackets, but when Dick said this, she had to continue to endure the heat in the car.
"I believe that people living in the world still have quality requirements for life." Dick realized that that sentence was a compliment for Western women, but for subtle Eastern women, it might be a kind of harassment, and quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, but the vast majority of people don't have the same amount of capital as you." Xia Ruobing deliberately said very heavily in order to distance himself from Dick.
"No, no, no...... Many people think that I have lived on the inheritance of old Citchell to the present, but in fact, old Citchell did not leave us much wealth, all this, more I earned. Dick said triumphantly tapping on the flagship's lavish interior.
Xia Ruobing didn't know how to continue.
"What do you think of our family's curse?" Dick was a little puzzled, Xia Ruobing didn't seem to care much about wealth, which was different from other women.
"I don't know, maybe it's similar to our Eastern Gu." Xia Ruobing thought about it and said, after all, this is Dick's family matter, and it is not too good to have too many mouths.
"What? The mysterious East also has a curse? Is that called a lower Gu? Dick was intrigued.
"Maybe it's better to call it a man-made curse!" Xia Ruobing felt a little speechless, although Dick was a descendant of Loulan, he didn't know anything about witchcraft, you know, in the era when the Loulan people disappeared, it was the time when witchcraft was most prevalent in the East.
Dick didn't hide his ignorance at all, nor did he hide the curse of the family, but discussed with Xia Ruobing, and while he was talking, the phone in the cabin across the wheelhouse of the flagship rang.
Dick picked up the phone, and it was from the cab: "Dick, the engine of Unimog 1 is overheating and must be stopped." ”
"We're going to get there as soon as possible and let Unimog 2 go ahead and Unimog 1 step back." Dick said.
"Unimog 2 didn't shovel snow shovel ......," Christine's voice was a little helpless.
"What?" Dick was a little surprised, "Then let Unimog 3 go up, anyway we can't stop!" The disturbance of the red dragon is only a few days! ”
"Temporary departure, except for Unimog 1, the other cars did not have time to load snow shovels......"
"You lazy pigs!" Dick said angrily, but then found Xia Ruobing beside him, he calmed down, and said in a calm tone as much as possible, "Then we have to work hard, in short, we can't stop, every second counts now!" ”
"Dick, you just said the disturbance of the red dragon...... What does that mean? Xia Ruobing asked.
"My dear, no one can tolerate the laziness of their employees, right? I'm just giving them a little punishment, I'm paying a lot of money, and they have to make it perfect for me! Dick laughed.
Dick's punishment was not a small one, as the mechanics were frantically digging a road in front of the convoy with a shovel in their hands, and even the geology crew joined in shoveling snow. Seeing this situation, where could Wang Xingguo sit still, and got out of the car with a shovel.
"Mr. Min, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" Although Chen Badai was reluctant in his heart, except for the driver in the car, he was embarrassed to sit in the comfortable G63, and he also carried a shovel into the ranks of shoveling snow, and was surprised to see that Mr. Min was also shoveling snow.
"After sitting in the car for a long time, you have to move," Mr. Min laughs, "Time is precious." ”
By the time the engine of Unimog 1 cooled down and the snow shovel was added, everyone was almost exhausted, and Chen Badai was the first to rush back to G63, turning out a bottle of energy drink from the storage box and drinking it all.
"No one has ever told me that I have to work as a snow shovel!" Chen Badai muttered.
"Time is precious...... Wang Xingguo muttered.
"Of course, time is precious, but I prefer it to be spent sleeping...... Chen Badai wrapped his coat, half leaned back in his seat, put his hat over his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
"I mean, why did Mr. Min suddenly say such a sentence."
Chen Badai answered, and immediately snoring.
"Dick, the outpouring of lava is intensifying...... It may be accompanied by some low-intensity earthquakes, and I am a little worried about the rupture of the earth's crust...... "Not long after the convoy was running normally, Dilma connected to Dick's small independent kingdom.
"Anything else?" Dick asked through the microphone.
"Not ...... yet"
"Keep monitoring." Dick hung up the microphone with that.
"As you can see, it's not easy to call the shots, and they won't have an idea about anything...... I call it responsibility anxiety, and they are afraid to take responsibility. Dick spread his hands and said to Xia Ruobing.
"But they're also accountable to you!" Xia Ruobing said.
"Yes, they'll say, Dick, there's something going on here...... Dick, there's something wrong there...... But the subtext is: Dick, what are we going to do? Dick spread his hands and smiled, "However, this also satisfies my desire to command." ”
"But why are we in such a hurry? From a professional point of view, this climate is not suitable for exploration. Xia Ruobing asked.
"Honey, things don't have to be done when you're ready."
"But just now you mentioned the disturbance of the red dragon......" Xia Ruobing asked again.
"My dear, that diamond is called the 'Red Dragon's Heart'. I'm sure you've heard of it, it's made from the heart of a red dragon, well, let's not talk about the science of this for now, but it's true that the Loulan people, that is, my ancestors, are said to have found the diamond mine according to the guidance of the red dragon...... As for whether they killed the Red Dragon, then I don't know......" Dick said.
"What does the red dragon mean?" Usually, legends are added to the subjective imagination of human beings, but objective archetypes still exist.
"In Norse legend, the red dragon is a ferocious dragon that guards the property of the god Odin on earth, and it usually sleeps, and when it wakes up, it rolls over and sneezes, and humanity suffers."
"Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?" Xia Ruobing is very smart.
"The god Odin became a legend when Christianity came here, and no one has ever seen him, and I believe the Red Dragon is the same, maybe it's a volcanic eruption! Of course, some people don't think so, and if the red dragon wakes up completely, it will be the end of the world......" Dick laughed.
"The movement of magma strata brings material deep into the earth's crust to the surface, and many minerals are formed in this way." Xia Ruobing asked.
"I don't know, since the Ancestor found the diamond mine with metaphysics, so I think we should try," said Dick, "who knows?" It might work. ”
"Well......" Logically, Dick was right, and it seemed that it was not easy to get something out of his mouth.
"It's glacial remnants, and there's volcanic activity, and there's underground lava, and tens of thousands of underground caverns...... Dick added.
"I've seen your genealogy, but I'm a little curious, since you are the guardians of the royal tomb, why can't you find the royal tomb and the mine?"
Dick's smile froze on his face, his hand holding the glass stopped in mid-air, and the car jolted, spilling wine on his thigh.
Dick put down his glass, put a polite smile on his face again, thought for a moment and said, "I have to ask old Citchell, he took away the secrets of the royal tomb and the diamond mines, and died with the greedy people......"
