Chapter 114: The Fall

After briefly sharing information about the seawater, everyone didn't stay here longer and drove straight back to the town.

When encountering fresh marine fish along the way, Evan will deliberately stop the car and ask his teammates to get out of the car and pick up the fish and put it in the trunk. Just started and stopped, and the trunk was quickly filled to the point where it couldn't be stuffed. But Evan was not satisfied, and even asked them to vacate the back seat of the car and continue to load the fresh sea fish they had picked up from the woods.

"What are you doing with so many fish?

The seal grumbled as he got out of the car and walked over to an evergreen tree, hugging the trunk and shaking.

Bang β€”β€”!

With this shaking of his voice, the fresh sea fish stuck in the canopy broke away from the branches and fell to the ground like ripe fruit.

Erica, with her long hair coiled up and wearing a pair of rubber gloves, trotted under the tree, picking up fish one by one with her tail: "What do you know? Be a human being with the spirit of sharing! It's rare for us to drive out, and of course pick up some fish to go back to comfort the public." ”

"Actually, it's not to comfort the public, but I thought of a way to preserve food. ”

Evan honked his horn to signal them to move faster, then explained:

"You people are used to high-tech life, you can eat whatever you want, you don't even know canned, right? ”

"Canned!?"

Erica, White Bear, and Seal all had blank expressions on their faces at the same time, obviously having never seen a can in their lives.

"The specific production method is to put the food into a wide-mouth glass bottle, plug the mouth of the bottle with a wooden stopper, and put it in a steamer to heat. Finally, the cork is tightened and threaded or wax sealed. Evan explained briefly.

"I know it! It was invented by sailors for the voyage to keep food from spoiling, and it was perfect for the situation in this town. After listening to him explain how it worked, the Eye Demon immediately remembered something similar.

"Yes, that's it. ”

Evan turned his head and glanced at the other party in surprise, firstly, he didn't expect her to recover so quickly, and secondly, he didn't expect that the technology tree of Hazes Star had already ordered a can.

But it's understandable to think about it, the invisible city doesn't have canned food, because the site is too small to keep fresh food for a long time. But Hazes Star is different, first of all, the territory is large enough, and it has just entered the Age of Discovery, so it is indeed not surprising that the technology tree points out cans.

"In that case, canned food is a good thing!" the seal suddenly refreshed, and his movements were much faster than before.

"It's not just canned food!"

Seeing how diligently they picked up the fish, Evan remembered something older than canned food: "If we don't like to make it, we can also marinate these fish into salted fish, which is the most time-saving and labor-saving way." ”

"What is salted fish?" this time even the Eye Demon was stunned.

"Let's go back and talk about it. ”

Seeing that they were so 'ignorant', Evan didn't bother to explain in detail, so it was more refreshing to explain the situation with actual operations.

One by one, one by one

As soon as they returned to the town, they first reported the situation to the government department, and then rushed to their residence to start concocting canned sea fish.

Canned food is not technical, it just needs to be a little bit of inspiration to pierce the paper.

Therefore, they did it very quickly, and it took almost half a night to steam all the relatively delicious sea fish into the pot. If the meat tastes poor, the internal organs and scales are cleaned, the gills and fins are removed, and then the salt is smeared inside and out and put in a basin.

After doing this, White Bear proposed that the two techniques be reported so that townspeople could learn this way of preserving food. After careful consideration, Evan decided to report only the method of making canned food.

Because the humidity in the air is so high that it is difficult to say whether the salted fish can be marinated well, and if it is not pickled well, it will not bear the wrath of everyone?

The reason why the people reported how to make canned food was originally just to let the residents have more food reserves. However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they reported their canned production technology, they received great praise from the government, and even considered it to be the greatest invention in the history of the invisible city!

After the scientists proved the feasibility of the canning technology, the government even awarded them a personal medal of hero, and the invention process of the five people was published in the newspapers. What's more, they have also increased their daily rations by 30 per cent, which is a real surprise.

In this way, under the vigorous promotion of the government, refrigerators were soon replaced by canned food. The residents of the town are not resistant to this, because the daily distribution of electricity is already limited, so it is natural to save a little bit. With tangible benefits, the residents will always affectionately refer to Evan and others as 'canned heroes'.

Although it sounded a little strange, it was a kind name after all, and everyone pinched their noses and smiled.

One by one, one by one

Thirteenth day, three o'clock in the morning.

The asphalt pavement washed by the moisture is very clean and smooth, but the soles of the feet seem to be stepping on the ground poured with sugar water, and it is a little slimy. The wet water vapor with a smoky gray color adheres to the road surface, forming a gray mist.

Ivan carried a basket full of sea fish, took a deep breath all the way, ran up the mountain along the asphalt road around the mountain, found a place with a good view, and put down the basket and faced due east to practice breathing.

"Shhh...... Whew......"

He squinted, put his tongue to his mouth, sucked in through his nose, and exhaled with his mouth. After several successive ups and downs in the chest and abdomen, all the muscles in the body relaxed, and then the hands were folded in front of the chest, the waist and back were tense like a bowstring, and the legs sank into a riding posture. The breath on his body suddenly became hot, as if he was a big cat stretching his muscles, sunbathing in the warm sun.

"Shhh...... Hiss ......"

Evan's breath grew thinner and longer, his feet as if they were entrenched on the ground, and his knees were on top of him. The breath of the whole person gradually converged, as if it had become a lifeless statue.

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

It didn't take long for his breathing to gradually become clear and loud, as if a dead tree was budding, everything was revived, and his whole body was rejuvenated. The inhalation was like a whale swallowing a cow's drink, and the chest and abdomen swelled and stretched to the neck, much like a toad in anger, and the whole neck was twice as thick.

"Hoo β€”β€”!"

Then he exhaled in one breath, but it was like a tiger groaning, shaking through the mountains and forests, endlessly. A breath of turbid air compressed the chest and abdomen, and then burst out like boiling steam, forming a white air mass that sprayed forward one after another.

These days, he went out to work during the day and hid in his lodgings at night to sit and breathe. After two hours of training, I went for a long-distance run with a basket on my back to practice breathing, and picked up the sea fish that fell from the sky along the wayβ€”food is never too much.

"Whew-hissβ€”β€”!"

Ivan used to practice breathing, but he preferred to be gentle and continuous, for fear of internal injury. But this time it was different, directly urging the lungs to swallow and exhale the airflow, and the sound was as violent as a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.

During the breathing, the bones buzzed and thundered, and the sound of blood flow in the body became extremely clear. The vibration of the exhalation seemed to seep into the bone marrow from the internal organs, and a warm and warm heat rose up and down the body.

It was as if a ray of sunshine shone into my heart in the ice and snow, and a certain masculine and fiery feeling gradually spread to all parts of the body, followed by a hearty sense of transparency.

"While being treated with medicine and nourished by breathing, the internal injury is finally almost healed. ”

Ivan closed his eyes, feeling the feeling of his viscera being transparent and comfortable, and a heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Not only that, but he also promoted physical growth through meditation and exercise. Moreover, taking into account the inside and outside of the body, together with the viscera, muscles and bones, epithelium, and blood vessels, have been tempered, and the physical strength has increased by about one layer compared with before.

This is the benefit of penetrating energy, although they are all ordinary people's physique, but after mastering the penetration energy, his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people. Even if it is the same breathing method, ordinary people can only nourish their internal organs after practice, but he can directly increase his physical strength through the whole body.

β€œ......”

Ivan looked introverted and motionless, his eyes narrowed into a slit like a cat in the daytime, and his mind imagined the first rays of the rising sun shining on the horizon. I don't know how long it took, he inhaled back sharply, and a long breath of "hiss" suddenly sounded in the air - as if a giant whale broke through the water and replaced the exhaust gas in his body.

This long breath was also like a giant whale breathing, and it lasted for two minutes. In the process, he slowly opened his eyes and pressed his hands down along his chest. The muscles on the whole body slowly bulged and suddenly became much thicker. It is full of power, and at first glance, it looks like it has absorbed the essence of the woods and poured it into its body.

In fact, the situation is far less evil, just using special techniques to control blood flow and strengthen muscles, at the cost of doubling the physical exertion. In the past, this increase was far inferior to releasing light energy, and he couldn't look down on it, but now he had no choice.

"The burden is much smaller than that of the green tendon cover, and it can be maintained normally, but it needs to be tested a little. ”

He exhaled slightly, and then saw a tall evergreen tree beside him, and his heart quickly calmed down. Taking a deep breath, he gathered all the strength of his body in the blink of an eye, and walked to the tree with a diameter of about forty centimeters. Then he simply kicked straight away, and with a "bang", the air made a muffled sound, and the sound of breaking wind was like a crossbow arrow coming out of the chamber, and the kick was first pointed and then pressed, and the front kick was on the trunk of the tree.

Bangβ€”β€”!

The evergreen tree shook violently, first with a splash of bark, then with a bang. There is a shallow pit about three centimeters deep on the surface. The needle-shaped leaves shook off like a rainstorm, and the entire trunk was kicked back slightly.

β€œ......”

Evan was also shocked by the tree trunk and took four or five steps back, his expression did not change, he gathered his legs and stomped lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he galloped away violently. The figure flew like an eagle swooping, the two hands were pinched into eagle claws in an instant, and the hands were linked at the moment when they approached the tree, and the ten fingers were like cutting with a knife blade.

Sneerβ€”β€”!

He grabbed the evergreen tree in front of him a dozen times in a row, and each time he grabbed it, both hands could tear a large piece of bark. More than a dozen claws grabbed it, directly hollowed out the trunk of the tree, and then shook his hand for a whip and gently pumped, the whole tree collapsed, and fell to the ground heavily to raise a puff of smoke and dust.

"It's only at this level of penetration power, and it's more than enough to kill people, but you still have to burst your physical strength to kill monsters. Now I am not more than before, once I burst out of physical strength, I will be like a waste person for the rest of my time......"

After checking it twice, looking at the severed wound on the trunk, Ivan was clearly not too satisfied with his performance. In the past, when he was full of physical strength, his tricks were all open and closed, and he didn't spare his physical strength at all. Now my physical strength is so weak, and I will see the bottom as soon as I use it, and there is always a feeling of being constrained.

After slowly calming down his qi and blood, Ivan looked at the time, and it was almost six o'clock by this time. It was soon time for the changing of the guard, so I put out the idea of continuing to practice, and went down the mountain with the basket on my back and the same way.

One by one, one by one

The sky was bright, and the light inside the house became a little brighter.

β€œ......”

The Eye Demon sat by the shutter, a candle lit on the table, gently wiping his weapon, and occasionally looking up at the lighthouse on the distant peak. She now looked forward to the spiraling beam of light from the lighthouse every day, almost to the point of wanting to see through it, but the only thing she could gain was loss.

Smackβ€”β€”!

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy objects falling outside the window, followed by a fishy smell of marine life permeating the window. She didn't care, it wasn't uncommon for sea creatures to fall from the sky all this time. From marine mollusks to vertebrates, some residents are tired of eating seafood.

"Gah!"

Immediately after, the terrible scream of some creature disturbed the Eye Demon's mind at once.

She grabbed her weapon, got up from her seat, and leaned out the window to hear the sound. I saw a puddle of sea water flowing on the concrete floor three meters away, and there seemed to be an octopus struggling in the sea, and it didn't look like it was dead.

"Falling from a height of thousands of meters and not dying?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Eye Demon's eyes, then he looked up at the sky, and then his expression froze. There are plenty of fish floating on the dark surface of the water, and they swim in the air as if they were swimming in the water.

A very small part of them even began to move away from the sea, descending into the air for hundreds of meters to swim their bodies. It's just that it doesn't seem to be used to this state, and it often only lasts for a few seconds, and then it loses its support and falls to the ground.

Some sea creatures can still struggle to swim when they land, but they will fall to the ground after a while-the octopus just now should be one of them, so it can barely survive.
