Chapter Thirty-Six: The Pursuit in the Line of Fire
Wogua had a gloomy face, "Then others will also be chased by giant leeches and coelenterates, and they are almost stuffed between their teeth?" β
"It's-"
"Then others will also be thrown ten feet away by the black zombie?"
"It's-"
"Then others will also be besieged by ghost horseshoe crabs and almost sacrifice their lives for the country?"
Li Luant held back for a moment, didn't answer, and wiped the non-existent tears with his sleeve, "If Lao Tzu runs a little slower, he will be fucking digested, just like those corpses, sinking in the stomach acid of this big king, soaking in those formalin solutions that can't be digested, and becoming a part of the stomach acid, maybe someone else will be me next time." β
Thinking about it like this, it is better not to be comforted, Li Luant rubbed his head: Come on, now it seems to be the reason, the huge Dai Shanao disappeared because of the gunshot, and now he is aware of nothing, and he has to retract his head into the shell, Li Luant saw the disappointment and ignorance in its expression, it seems that all his thinking is still stuck not long before he saw this world, and he couldn't help but say to the dark glasses, "Let's let it go." β
The dark glasses unexpectedly "Where to put them?" β
Yes, such a big thing must live in the water, and if it is land outside, it will not be able to hide it at all, and it will soon be discovered by others and become a viewing animal that charges an entrance fee.
This is still the best situation, if you meet someone who has no heart and wants to get rich, this Dai Shan Ao may not be able to go to the table of the nest melon, and will definitely go to someone else's table, not to mention that although this turtle shell looks black and not slippery, but who knows if anyone covets other people's real estate?
"There was a quail just now, and in the natural habits of animals, the routes that swallows fly over and the places where they nest in the mud are places where there is a source of water and a high water table, and among them, the quail flies towards the water in the evening and flies on its back in the early morning; Turtle doves fly to the water source in the morning and evening. Although this place is stagnant water, as long as there is the sound of mountain streams or waterfalls outside the mountain streams, cliffs, basins, and valley bottoms, there seems to be water flowing outside the mountain, indicating that it is not far from the place where there is a water source, and the water source is flowing living water, which can be drunk directly. β
Solemnly looked at the two of them, "As long as this Dai Shanao is released, he will come out of the water in the water, and most of the living water in Yangzhou is connected: Hangou, Canal, Gaoyou Lake, White Horse Lake, Dengyue Lake, Luyang Lake, Baoying Lake, Tianle Lake, Shao Bo Lake, Zhuyu Bay...... All of them lead directly and indirectly to the Yangtze River, as long as they can enter the Yangtze River, this Dai Shanao can be saved. β
Wogua raised his upper lips, "Help Wang Ba go home?" This is an upgraded version of the tadpole looking for its mother, emmmmmm...... Out of sight, out of mind, it's done! β
Seeing that Wogua and Li Green Ant were looking at him, the black glasses immediately took a deep breath, and said very rationally, "Such a big stone turtle, Liu Jing is still buried in the stone turtle, and it flows into the Yangtze River like this, andββ"
"Do you want to do it?"
In fact, about what Li Luant just said, if such a big stone turtle is discovered, let alone alive, the result of death must be very bad, if it is really possible to dive into the Yangtze River, in other words, it is equivalent to saving his life, after all, it is a creature that can live thousands of years, and it is indeed unreasonable to see death and not save it, but the black glasses still shook his head decisively: he came here with a mission, although half of the task is solved, and the remaining half has to go back to find a way to solve it, but he will never directly abandon the task. It is against organizational discipline to even release the task itself.
Wogua and Li Luant were indignant at the same time, and Wogua said, "If you don't do it, this handsome man wants to do it!" β
Li Luant also nodded hurriedly, but Wogua turned his head to look at Li Luant with a little hesitation after his bold words, "It's one thing to say it, it's another thing to do it, this, what are you doing?" Such a big king, with the two of us, even with the addition of black glasses, this can't lift it. β
Li Luant scolded with a smile, "Who let you carry it, people can drown you by spitting, and you still want to carry it away?" β
"In my opinion, the strength of this Dai Shanao itself is actually far beyond our imagination, as long as we help it break free from two of the four chains, and the remaining two, we will definitely be able to break free with it."
After carefully examining it for a while, the iron chains in the four stone dragon statues were all firmly tied to the limbs of the giant tortoise, as long as they found a way to melt these iron chains, they could easily break down if they opened a small gap.
"Bring the first aid kit."
Wogua took out the first-aid kit, and saw Li Luant looking for the bottles and cans in the first-aid kit, and was curious, "These are all emergency medicines, do you want to give that king eight some stimulants first, so that it can make persistent efforts?" β
β¦β¦
"Black iron, commonly known as stainless steel, has the highest density and hardness of all ores, but its mass is the smallest of all metals. The melting point of pure iron is 1538 Β°C, the boiling point is 2750 Β°C, and at a high temperature of 1538 Β°C, iron will change from solid to liquid. β
"With the tools we have now, the only way to break it is to make it corrode slowly. Iron is easily soluble in dilute inorganic acids to form divalent iron salts and release hydrogen. When encountering concentrated sulfuric acid or concentrated nitric acid at room temperature, a layer of oxide protective film is formed on the surface to "passivate" the iron, so iron products can be used to contain cold concentrated sulfuric acid or cold concentrated nitric acid. When heated, iron can react with concentrated sulfuric acid or concentrated nitric acid to form +3-valent iron salts, along with SOβ or NOβ. β
Finally found the need to refine a part of the sulfuric acid in the first-aid kit, Li Luant confidently "As long as the sulfuric acid can be refined, even if the purity is not pure, the amount can come in handy, look at me." β
Dai Shanao slowly retracted his limbs and neck into the turtle shell, and after a look, he found that the reason why he didn't find out that this was a huge king just now came from the fact that this Dai Shanao was like a giant pool and island when he was stationary, and a few people slowly came down from the turtle shell of Dai Shanao.
This hollow valley is only a circle of flat land on the side, all the middle is a waterhole, a few people crawled up along the steep mountain rocks, sat on this stone dragon, now Li green ants are tinkering with what sulfuric acid, black glasses closed eyes to recuperate, do not participate in activities, for a time there is no place for the nest melon, and begin to find things to do for themselves.
Turning out the things in the backpack, he suddenly saw the point-and-shoot camera: this was used when he took evidence just now, and he was about to throw it aside at random, but he suddenly remembered what Li Luant said to him before, and quietly glanced at his black glasses, but he pretended to be sorting things, but he aimed at a few of the photos and pressed "delete".
"That's it!"
After more than half a day, Wogua gnawed on compressed biscuits, and saw Li Green Ant holding a glass test tube in his hand, which contained a colorless but boiling oily liquid, and tentatively prepared to touch it with his hand, Li Green Ant "coughed" and took the test tube away, "Don't touch it, if you get a drop, your skin will rot completely." β
"Huh-"
Wogua retracted his fingers, "This thing, is it useful?" β
"The sulfuric acid solution can be obtained by the tower method and the contact method, and the former is crude dilute sulfuric acid, and the mass fraction is generally about 75%; The latter can obtain concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction of 98.3%, a boiling point of 338 Β°C, and a relative density of 1.84. At room temperature, concentrated sulfuric acid can passivate metals such as iron and aluminum. β
It seems that the middle of the sentence suddenly disappeared, and the "And then?" β
"No, you can't cut the water with a knife, but the water turns into ice, don't you break it when you knock it, after passivation, you can no longer have the previous hardness and heavy pure iron, it is corroded by sulfuric acid, at this time, as long as you use a little force, knock one of the joints, and the iron chain will not break itself."
Wogua's eyes lit up, Li Green Ant tentatively poured out a drop of liquid from the test tube, dripped on the iron chain, and instantly heard the sound of "stabbing and pulling" like fried food, and smoke rose above, and then an extremely unpleasant gas drifted out, Li Green Ant said, "Stay away from it, this smell is also harmful to the human body." β
After a while, after the green smoke drifted away, on one of the rings of the heavy iron chain, a hollow hole the size of a finger really appeared, and the black glasses glanced at Li Luant in surprise: I didn't expect it to be successful!
Sulfuric acid was called "green alum" in ancient times, and it is also a medicinal material in many traditional Chinese medicines, and the amount is very small, but it can corrode things.
With a "bell", the entire iron chain broke in the water, and Li Luant looked at the small half bottle of liquid left in the test tube, "The rest should not be able to cause the effect just now." β
Wogua didn't care, "Then you can purify it again, isn't there a lot of this, that stimulant?" β
Li Luant helplessly, "It's not in stimulants, it's something that can be extracted and eventually produced into sulfuric acid, just like you don't have black pigments, but as long as you have red, blue, and yellow, as long as you follow a certain ratio, you can finally get black." β
Hold it firmly in your hand: the properties of sulfuric acid are still relatively stable, but if it is mixed with hydrolysis, it will cause it to be extremely unstable, so you can't be careless.
Seeing the giant tortoise still curled up in its shell, Li Luant's eyes lit up, "Nest melon, now there is an important task entrusted to you!" β
Wogua was ordered to be in danger, and he said righteously, "Corporal Shell Lang, please speak!" β
"The remaining material is not enough to corrode all the iron chains, and only two can be corroded if they are killed, but if they are evenly divided into three parts, they can divide the spring equally, but the effect will be greatly reduced, you have to find a way to make this Dai Shanao cooperate with our actions!"
The smile on Wogua's face slowly disappeared, with a little surprise, "Let this big king cooperate with us?" How to cooperate? Li Luant shook his head, "It doesn't matter, since you just said that you must be responsible for helping to the end, you can't give up halfway, I will definitely complete my task, as for the emotional communication with animals, it depends on you." β
Wogua pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "Do you have fish food?" β
Half an hour laterβ
Seeing Wogua clumsily crawling onto Dai Shanao's turtle's back, and seeing the eight stone dragons trembling, hiding from afar, it seemed that he was afraid that this lifelike stone dragon would wake up and bite him anytime and anywhere, which made people laugh when they saw it.
After that, the nest melon began to tremble and look for a place to cling to, then scratched his ears and cheeks, and began to discuss countermeasures, and suddenly said to Li Luant in the air, "Hey, Corporal Shell Lang, do you really not understand the beast language?" I think I can still salvage it, why don't you teach me two words of turtle language first, at least let me say hello first, okay? β
A closer look at the mountain, I found that the mountain is even more huge, the small mound piled up next to it compared with the stone dragon mountain, like a piece of toenails that the dragon naturally sheds, Wogua can't help it, I want to go up and touch the ass of the stone dragon in front of me, but I secretly said in my heart: As the saying goes, zombies perceive the breath of people and grow hair and corpses, although this dragon is not a zombie, but in the end it has been trapped here by the astrologer for a thousand years, maybe the resentment is a few points greater than that zombie, a dragon can chop me up and chop it, let alone eight?
And if it's a male, it's just a happy death, in case there is a female dragon in it, seeing that I am very rich in collagen, then am I not asking for hardship?
But the nest melon did not know that according to the circling direction of the mountain range, the dragon can be divided into yin dragon and yang dragon, also known as female dragon and male dragon. The weather is yang on the left, yin on the right, and dragon qi on the earth, which is also based on yin and yang. The Yin Dragon is a mountain range that rotates in a counterclockwise direction, while the Yang Dragon is the opposite. Another way to divide the Yin Dragon and the Yang Dragon is to judge by the direction of the water flow on both sides of the mountain range. If the water is on the left side of the vein, and the dragon is judged by the direction of the vein, then the left water is right-handed, and the dragon vein is the yin dragon; On the contrary, it is the right water and the left hand, which is the positive spin dragon, that is, the yang dragon.
No matter which of the two methods is used to divide the dragon veins on this mountain, they all belong to the yang dragon vein, and he is worried that the collagen in his body will become the tonic of the female dragon, and because the angry female dragon is far more terrifying than the tigress.
Immediately, he thought about it a lot, and deeply felt that it was better to stay away from it, so he moved his feet, grabbed the edge of Dai Shanao's carapace and began to make a quail shape, dead or alive.
Seeing this, Li Luant couldn't cry or laugh, and finished his work, and sure enough, the three iron chains were as he expected, and the passivation effect only reached half of his heart, and he replied in the air, "You have to find a way to make it drill its head out, and then cooperate with our actions!" β
"How do you cooperate? Did I say let it cooperate, and it will cooperate?! β
But at this time, the nest melon standing on the back of the turtle leaned back and fell, and Dai Shanao, who had just retracted his head, drilled his head out again, stretched his neck, and looked back at this noisy nest melon.
Looking closely, the dense rocks inside the huge glans turned out to be the barbs in the mouth of this Dai Shanao, and from time to time there were a few ghost horseshoe crabs in it, and the nest melon immediately had a numb scalp and stiff limbs.
"Eighth Brother Wang, no, Brother Turtle, you are calm, calm, we are helping you, don't eat me, please cooperate, cooperate well, you have meat to eat in the second half of your life, you are not well coordinated, you are eaten by others in the second half of your life, don't eat me, you are full and full, this difference is big."
Such a big guy stares at you with eyes bigger than your head and asks if you are moved?
Wogua held back the urge to urinate in his bladder and shook his head again and again: I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to move.
Burying his head in the crook of his arms, the old man who pouted his fart, but the Dai Shanao seemed to really understand, and looked at Li Luant curiously with open eyes, Li Luant saw that it was really useful, pointed to the remaining three iron chains, and pointed to the broken iron chains, this Dai Shanao raised one of his legs, shook it in the water, and showed a happy smile on his face, and immediately understood the meaning of several people, and nodded to Li Luant.
"Hey, that's a god."
This Dai Shan Ao seems to have been accustomed to the huge mountain that he has been carrying on his back for a long time, and the existence of this giant mountain is afraid that it is integrated with the Dai Shan Ao, and it is inseparable, it is estimated that even this Dai Shan Ao itself does not know that it is carrying a camel on its back, not a stone mountain, but all the dragon veins of the entire Yangzhou City!!
Wo Gua was dumbfounded, and called this big king Ba really human, only to see Dai Shanao pull back a chain in the northeast corner, the chain broke in response, and repeated to the northwest corner, and finally only one of the north and south corners remained, Dai Shanao's range of activities is getting bigger and bigger, and Wo Gua climbed down from its back, and looked at it again and again.
The iron chain in the north and south corners made a "sparkling" sound in the air, but it took ten minutes without any signs of breaking, and Li Luant's heart sank: because the final solution was really not enough, the iron chain in the north and south corners was the least corroded, and the passivation rate was also very slight, so I am afraid it was not easy to break.
Seeing the "roar" from the mouth of the Dai Shan Ao, the black glasses screamed for freedom, Wogua and Li Green Ant also ran desperately over there and began to help pull it up, and immediately a ghostly light flashed under his eyes, and a few darts fell out of his sleeves and flew out towards the crack.
The two people who were exerting force suddenly heard two crisp golden and jade sounds, but saw that the two darts were deeply inserted into a gap, and that gap was inserted into the partition, Dai Shanao behind him roared again, and the two of them exerted their strength, and the iron chain "clicked", and it was really broken!
Dai Shanao shouted happily in the mountain stream, and the nest melon and Li green ant almost fell into the water immediately, but at this time, they were stepped on the surrounding stone wall by black glasses, flew up, and threw one to the shore with one in one hand.
But at this moment, the huge dragon roar of his body seemed to break through the sky, like a volcanic cannonball, shaking people to the eardrums, and the black glasses looked back, the dragon mountain that was originally on Dai Shanao's back exploded into countless pieces for some reason, and what soared up was eight long dragon-like golden air currents, flying into the clouds and circling and shuttling.
A pale golden light rain fell in the sky, and the eight dragon qi suddenly disappeared into the clouds, and in their place, only the flowers and plants in the valley began to grow strangely and flourish, and began to have some signs of paradise.
The original pool of stagnant water suddenly has no wind and is automatic, trickling back and entangled, and there is no living water to communicate, but it is itself living water, which is really strange.
Dai Shanao looked at the direction of the three of them, nodded and bowed again and again, and patted his chest, "In the future, there is one more bragging capital after this handsome man goes out, that is, he once released a thousand-year-old king eight, protecting such a precious wild animal, I should pass it on through the ages." β
