News from the north, several hunters who went into the mountains, found cubes that burned the woods in the area of the Great Khing'an Mountains.

After notifying the government, the government regarded it as some kind of auspicious and tried to send the cube into the capital.

Unfortunately, the local government did not have the strength to transport the cube, and after several people died, the border army stationed on the frontier got the news and happened to get an order from the capital, so they tried to transport the cube back to the capital.

The temperature of the cube is extremely high, and it can easily ignite the approaching human body, so people cannot get close to the past, and the method they use is to build an iron box, and then use a hook to hook the cube into the iron box.

In the end, they kept cooling the iron box with cold water along the way, and there were as many as two dozen wagons following them.

Fortunately, a month has passed, and it is already winter, and it has begun to snow in the capital, and the heavy snow in the north is piled up, and it is easy to find snow water.

Originally, it was very hard to rush in the heavy snow, the court was corrupt and incompetent, many soldiers of the border army were hiding in the cave for the winter, and the clothes they wore could not withstand the cold at all.

However, the high temperature emitted by that cube has become a life-saving artifact.

The icy snow water splashed on the iron box, and after a while, it became boiling water, like a smelting iron furnace, and it made the surrounding heat like summer, and the whole horse team did not feel cold.

Instead, it's so hot that you need to take off your jacket outside.

Maybe the ancients didn't think so much that they couldn't really use the cube, but they could think of this thing as a perpetual motion machine for boiling water.

In this part of the Northeast, smart people can design it well, and they can also come to a whole city to provide hot water.

If it weren't for the cube, it wouldn't be a mortal thing at first glance, and it would be difficult to hide it, so maybe the locals would have hidden it.

And Chen Shi was also surprised by the wisdom of the ancients, he thought that the cube was something that the ancients could not touch at all, let alone transport.

Unexpectedly, the ancients who found it quietly sent things to the palace in the capital, and he learned the news.

Although he was a little unhappy that the emperor didn't inform him of the news at first, thinking that the cube was finally delivered, he didn't care about such a little displeasure and went straight to the palace.

This is the backyard garden of the palace, a place for the emperor's enjoyment, but now the emperor's political affairs are not good, but he is still diligent in political affairs, and the back garden is clean but very bleak.

Of course, it's not deserted now.

A large crowd of people gathered around the emperor, staring blankly at the lake in the back garden, which was almost boiling.

The cube that was sent into the capital was not good to splash water at any time to cool down, so it was thrown into the icy lake, and as a result, a large amount of high-temperature steam evaporated after a while, and the garden was steaming white for a while, as if it had entered the foggy weather, making the palace backyard white.

What's even more terrifying is that in just half an hour, the entire lake is about to boil, which can scare the emperor and others a lot.

Fortunately, Chen Shi came at this time, and finally let the emperor and others have a backbone.

"National teacher, you're finally here."

Emperor Song Yan panicked, "This artifact is about to boil my Heart Nourishing Lake." ”

"Well, I see it."

Chen Shi was ecstatic, through the thick high-temperature steam, he could still recognize at a glance that it was a cube, but he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

"Don't panic...... Emperor, all of you retreat. ”

Chen Shi said calmly.

“……”

Song Yan took a deep breath, although he was very curious about this artifact, and even more curious about how the national teacher was going to dispose of the artifact, but under Chen Shi's serious tone, he had to follow the order and leave with all the eunuchs and palace maids.

After all the people disappeared, Chen Shi completely focused his attention on the cube in the lake.

When he turned on the thermal imaging, the center of the lake in his field of vision was almost hot, which meant that the cube emitting high temperature was in the lake.

At such a close distance, he could have approached the cube with a single slam step, but he didn't, despite his impatience, he had to endure the impatience in his heart.

"What's next?"

Finding the cube, Chen Shi began to think about how to use the cube to go back in time.

He caught the cube before, please don't know how to use it at all, anyway, the cube takes him through time and space.

And this shuttle through time and space is positive, an arrow pointing to the future. He didn't even know how to activate the cube to travel through time and space, and how could he make the cube point not to the future, but to the past?

That's the problem.

It was impossible to give him a manual to study, and looking at the cubes in the lake, he felt deeply troubled and helpless.

"If only I continue to planeswalk forward...... That's trouble. ”

Not only did he not go to the past, but he has been moving towards the future, which means that he will fall deeper and deeper on this erroneous historical branch line, and he will never be able to go back.

"Damn, who did Lao Tzu offend? Do you want to fix me like this? ”

In the past, he was transported to a planet that was not many light years away, and even if it was the future, it was still the future of his own history. Now it is returned, not to mention going back to the past, but also branching into the branch of history, who else can find themselves?

What to do?

Chen Shi thought hard about the method, but unfortunately he had no clues, and he was still confused after thinking for a long time.

“……”

Sighing, Chen Shi slowly walked into the lake emitting high-temperature steam, since there was no clue, he could only look for clues.

Either way, he ended up only getting close to the cube.

Ordinary people who did not have the protection of a gamma suit approached the cube without protection, and as soon as they got into the lake, they were cooked.

Chen Shi had the protection of the gamma suit, but he was not afraid of the boiling water temperature, quickly approached the center of the lake, passed through the heat, and saw the cube floating in the water, still flashing with a faint blue light, and at the same time making the surrounding lake water keep boiling at high temperatures.

He gritted his teeth, immediately approached, and reached out sharply to touch the cube.

"This ......"

Chen Shi's body shook and felt the vibration from the cube.

Very similar to the previous experience.

"Could it be that to meet the conditions for traveling through time and space is to touch the cube in person? Or is it close to it? ”

He didn't have time to think about it, but he noticed that the surrounding lake suddenly exploded, like a bomb falling into the lake, and in an instant, thousands of tons of lake water swept in all directions, and the entire back garden seemed to have suffered an earthquake, and those doors and windows were torn apart from a distance of 100 meters.

When the trembling eunuchs came in an hour later, they could only see that the original lake had disappeared and was replaced by a deep pit.
