445. Waiting for a miracle
That's a real big wave, not just an adjective.
The ability of language to describe is sometimes exaggerated, and when we see a wave several meters high, we usually use the term "monstrous waves" to describe it. Of course, waves a few meters high can easily overturn a ship. The huge tsunami in Indonesia caused hundreds of thousands of lives in waves of more than 10 meters.
If a wave can really be monstrous, what a terrifying force it will be!
Over the past ten years, Petrux has experienced countless storms and waves. He has steered in storms, escaped tsunamis caused by terrible undersea earthquakes, and even witnessed the eruption of a volcano at sea. The sea gave him a new lease of life, making him the famous Redbeard, and the sea was constantly proclaiming the power of rage and telling him who was the true ruler of the sea. He has mixed feelings for the sea, both in awe and in love with the desire to conquer it.
And at this moment, Redbeard was dumbfounded.
It was a sight he had never seen before: on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, the distant waters suddenly rose from the horizon to the sky, roaring between heaven and earth with a desperate and devastating power.
The giant moon in the sky is shocking enough, and now there are monstrous waves, which are completely beyond human cognition and imagination.
"What the fuck is this?" Petru shouted, and the waves rolled over the earth and rumbled, and if he didn't shout, he couldn't hear the sound of talking.
Aoki was also puzzled. How high is this wave, a hundred meters? A kilometer? Or tens of thousands of meters? No one can tell.
"Even if the moon's gravity causes tidal changes, it won't attract such a big wave, right?" He remembered what Su Huilan said about the tidal action, "There is really such a big gravitational force, it would have sucked us up a long time ago, and this island would have been torn to pieces!" ”
Su Huilan said: "It is true that it is affected by the gravitational pull of the moon, but you should not forget that we are in a distorted space, so those huge waves are different from the tsunamis we see on Earth. They are actually on a curved surface, surging in the direction of the moon. Just like a bottle, we are at the bottom of the bottle, and the sea water is gravitationally pulled by the moon and rushes along the wall of the bottle, towards the mouth of the bottle. ”
"So, we're not in danger here?" Petru relaxed a little.
Su Huilan said, "No, you can imagine a bottle. When the water in the bottle rushes along the wall of the bottle to the mouth of the bottle, if the mouth is too small to drain the water out, it will pour back into the bottom of the bottle. ”
Petru was not involved in the discussion of the Klein bottle, so he didn't know what Su Huilan was talking about. He looked around and it felt like a bottle, the surging sea water making the otherwise invisible curved surface visually visible. They are like a swarm of ants living in a giant bottle, with nowhere to run and no way to retreat, but to watch the waves overturn.
"I hope this bottle is big enough!" Aoki said.
"But no matter how big the mouth is, the Klein bottle is open, and its water will eventually return to the bottom of the bottle." Su Huilan looked at those wild men, and from the expressions of the wild men, she saw despair.
"You see them, they're the natives here, maybe they've been through something like that, that's why they're so scared. They know what that means! Perhaps it is precisely because of this periodic disaster that the civilization here is so backward and cannot develop at all. ”
"But they're all alive, and they're not extinct, are they?"
Aoki took a few steps above the altar, getting closer to the wildlings. The savage wizard was in the middle of the crowd, holding his scepter in a strange posture all the time. He had held the scepter like that when they had prayed on their prostrates, and now he stood up, still holding it like that.
Aoki didn't know what it meant, but he saw something different in the expression on the wizard's face. It was a desperate face, but in despair, there was a little stubborn persistence. It's like a hungry sick lion that is about to die, when the irresistible death comes, looking at the bison herd in front of him, and wanting to stand up and fight again.
Aoki saw the old wizard glancing at him, but quickly withdrew his gaze, as if in his eyes at this moment, these people of a strange race were no longer important.
Aoki knew what he must be doing, what he must be waiting for!
The moon is getting closer and closer, so close that you can reach out and touch the craters. The tide rolls higher and higher, and with the curved surface of space, it curls to the surface of the moon from far to near in the sky, as if it were the ocean tide flowing on the moon.
People smell death.
Petru suddenly roared, turned the muzzle of the submachine gun on his body, and aimed it at the savage: "Damn, I'm going to die anyway, Lao Tzu will take revenge first!" ”
As soon as he rushed up the steps, he was stopped by Aoki.
"Don't be impulsive!" Aoki said, "If we want to live, we may have to count on them!" ”
Petru looked at Aoki in frenzy, but put down his gun anyway.
Su Huilan didn't know what Aoki was talking about, but seeing that he seemed to have an idea, she didn't ask much. At times like these, there is no point in asking questions, and when it is time to say, Aoki will definitely say it.
Aoki took two more steps up the steps, getting closer to the savage wizard. He used his mental power to test it, and then he felt the turbulent waves in his consciousness. This is no longer a spiritual fluctuation, but a spiritual tide, against the direction of the huge waves on the horizon, but one is tangible and the other is invisible.
He understood that the old man in front of him was mobilizing the spiritual power of the whole island and trying his best to maintain the stability of this space. Once this space collapses, the water in the sky will be pressed down in an instant, like a broken bottle. However, no matter how strong the old man's ability was, he couldn't stop this natural force that devoured heaven and earth.
Will there be miracles in this desperate contrast of power?
Aoki thinks so. There must be something that the old man is looking forward to to save their tribe and keep this race alive for a long time.
He made up his mind and shouted to the audience, "Petru, you go inside the altar to save Lady Larry!" Professor Su, Boss Coal, Peaceful, you and I will help this old man! Remember, whatever happens for a while, see what these savages do, and you will do it! ”
The giant moon is in the sky, the sea is raging, and at such a moment, no one questions Aoki's decision.
Su Huilan, the crow, and the cat approached him together, accepted his spiritual guidance, and followed him to release all their spiritual power, and together with the spiritual force field mobilized by the savage wizard, they tried their best to support the stability of the entire space.
Petru rushed up with a cat, knocked down the two savages, and rushed into the altar where huge stones floated.
He saw inside the altar, the boulder floating in the air, and the moonlight shining through the gap in the stone, forming a strange pattern at the bottom of the altar.
Mrs. Larry was lying on the floor in the center of the altar, on all fours, as if searching for something. There was a beam of moonlight that shot straight down, illuminating her smooth back.
