Chapter 33: Birthday
"Bang!" A sound stronger than the sound of gunfire made Lin Xuexi pull her thoughts back to reality, she quit the forum account and turned off the power of the laptop.
"What are you doing?" When Lin Xuexi came out, he saw Li Fusi and Li Xinran dancing around a huge metal ball in the courtyard, dancing and talking about something.
Lifus saw Lin Xuexi from a distance and walked over with a fiber bag.
"For you." Lifus handed the bag to Lin Xuexi.
Lin Xuexi glanced at Li Fusi suspiciously, took the bag and opened the mouth of the bag to see that there was half a bag of popcorn inside, exuding a strong heat wave and sweet smell.
"I think maybe girls like flowers, but we have snow everywhere here, and there are no flowers at all, so I got some popcorn out, and not only flowers, but also food." Lifus was silly happy.
"Thank you." Lin Xuexi said in a low voice, she blushed again, she felt that this was definitely the most romantic gift she had received in her life.
Li Fusi took Lin Xuexi's hand and walked to the spherical metal, "Come on, look at my homemade popcorn machine." ”
A black-gray metal ball about one meter in diameter, with a barrel welded to each end, is supposed to be made from two hemispheres of equal volume, like the Magdeburg hemisphere, welded with hinges that allow them to fold, and locks and clips that hold the spheres in place.
There was also a bonfire that was about to go out, with a slingshot-like branch on each side of the bonfire, and it was clear that Lifus had used this pressure vessel to bake popcorn.
"What is this?" Lin Xuexi was curious about the strangely shaped container in front of her.
"This is the nuclear charge liner of China's earliest implosion uranium bomb, and from its size, it is estimated that it is a uranium bomb or plutonium bomb with a yield of 300,000 to 400,000 tons, and a nuclear charge of about 100 kilograms." Lifus introduced.
"Bah......" Lin Xuexi quickly spit out the popcorn in her mouth.
"It's okay, this one hasn't been filled with nuclear fillers." Lifus laughed.
Lin Xuexi glanced at him, "Who are you fooling?" Such a large ball, estimated to be more than 500 liters, must not be loaded with more than a dozen tons of uranium and plutonium? How can it be that there are only a few hundred thousand tons of equivalent, and it may already be tens of millions of tons. ”
"The nuclear utilization rate of these early atomic bombs was very low, and the nuclear charge could not all participate in fission, and the detonation method was also very simple and crude, that is, a large amount of explosives were added to detonate, so the ball in front of us seemed to be very large, but in fact, the annular space inside the sphere was filled with all the detonating charges, and only a small piece of space was left in the middle for uranium or plutonium, which may not be as big as a football. The high temperature and high pressure ignited by explosives can make the plutonium or uranium in the middle instantly exceed the critical value, and then bombard them with neutrons to produce a chain fission reaction. This method was primitive and ancient, and inefficient, but at the time it was the top technology for measuring the strength of a country. ”
"In other words, our world was destroyed by these things?" Li Xinran asked.
"Yes, but not exactly." Lin Xuexi said, "In fact, in the final analysis, human beings have come to this point because of selfishness and greed, and it has little to do with the weapons used, the British, who are known as gentlemen and ladies, have exterminated the Tasmanian race, the Americans who claim to be free and open have almost killed all the Indians, the Germans, who have always been known for their prudence and seriousness, have slaughtered six million Jews, and Japan, a small country that advocates tea ceremony and flower arrangement, has been invading others in history." ”
"It's normal for people to be different in skin color, but the huge difference in human nature makes me can't believe that we all grew up on the same planet, thousands of years ago, and still are."
"What? Even you, a radical, are starting to lose your mind? Let's join our optimist, eat and swim all day long, come on, don't think about these useless things, the sky can't fall, let's eat. Li Fusi felt that Lin Xuexi was very different from usual today, very melancholy, and very melancholy.
The table was cleared, and dishes and chopsticks were placed in front of Lin Xuexi, even after she recovered from her injuries, she had been taken care of by the two of them, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, she had long been used to being taken care of by others, before and after crossing.
"I think tomorrow if there is no wind, we can try to attack the country of immortals." Lin Xuexi said his plan.
"Don't talk about state affairs at the dinner table." Lifus opened the lid of the pressure cooker, stuck two pairs of chopsticks in the hole in the cage drawer, and carefully took them out and placed them on the table.
"What is this?" Lin Xuexi looked at the corn paste steamed like bread on the cage drawer, and the aroma came to his face.
"It's called corn cake, haven't you eaten it?" Lifus said and suddenly turned off the lights, and the room was pitch black.
"Lifuss, what are you bastards? Hurry up and turn on the lights for me! Li Xinran shouted.
"Dangdang, Surprise!" A sudden light appeared in the darkness, and it was Livers who lit a strip of cloth dipped in diesel fuel and wrapped around a branch, which he stuck in the middle of the corncake.
"Lifus, are you crazy? Do you want to set the house on fire? Extinguish it, it's all smoke! ”
Li Fusi didn't hear Li Xinran's words, he stared at Lin Xuexi opposite through the sudden firelight, and whispered, "Xuexi, happy birthday!" I wish you a happy day in the future! ”
In the flames, the figures of the three people were reflected on the wall, sometimes tall and sometimes short, sometimes fat and sometimes thin, very weird.
"Thank you." Lin Xuexi had to express her gratitude again, "Thank you for your heart, I feel it, but you may be mistaken, today is not my birthday, my birthday is calculated according to the lunar calendar." ”
"Uh...... Well, that's okay, we could totally do it again next month. "Livers was a little embarrassed.
"That's no need, I decided to change it to the solar calendar after my birthday, starting today, okay, let's put out my birthday candles, and I feel like I'm going to be blind in this eye after a while." Lin Xuexi said with a smile, she was really very happy.
Lifus turned on the light, and he threw the birthday candle made of twigs into the stove.
"Wow! Today's meal is so hearty! There's corn cake with no eggs, and nuclear popcorn baked with the inner shell of an atomic bomb. Lin Xuexi's eyes were red and she used a dagger to cut the corn cake into small pieces.
"Look at you, you moved me again, didn't you? If you want to cry, cry out, we are all class brothers and sisters, and we won't laugh at you. Lifus teased.
", I'm smoky, I'm a fart." Lin Xuexi took a piece of corn cake and threw it at Lifus, even though he knew that he would definitely catch it. "By the way, aren't you making wine? What about wine? ”
"You don't say I almost forgot." Lifus pulled out a cylindrical metal box from under the table, which had been used to contain vacuum fruit powder. "It's distilled in total, about two catties, and the temperature in this room is not high, and it is not fermented well, so the degree is also a little low, so let's drink it as a drink."
"Fill it for me." Lin Xuexi took out her bowl and pushed it to the middle of the table.
"Huh?" Lifus was a little confused, "This is liquor." He looked at Lin Xuexi to make sure she wasn't joking.
Lin Xuexi didn't speak, but the meaning expressed in her eyes was very clear, that is, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
"That's not good, I've worked so hard to make this wine, and you won't have much left in this bowl, and I still have to drink it myself." Lifus finally poured her a small half bowl, mainly because he was afraid that she would drink too much and hurt herself.
"I want it too." Li Xinran also handed over the bowl.
"What kind of wine do children drink?" Lifus simply confiscated her bowl.
"Livers, you bastard! Bully! Li Xinran protested.
Lifus ignored her and silently poured himself half a bowl of wine.
"Drink, drink, see if you two drink too much for a while." Li Xinran said as if she was angry, she made herself a big bowl of juice and added a lot of sugar.
Lifus stood up and said: "Today's thing is a bit abrupt, and it's a bit embarrassing, and it's self-defeating, but fortunately, everyone is not hypocritical, so I won't apologize." ”
Li Xinran muttered in a low voice below: "It's so thick-skinned." ”
Lifus continued: "The three of us have been together for almost a month, this is all fate, in fact, after careful calculation, Xuexi's lives and I can be said to have been saved by girls." He turned to Li Xinran and said, "Girl, I usually like to quarrel with you and raise the bar, I know you won't take it seriously, but today I have to respect you, thank you for saving me and saving Xuexi." ”
Li Fusi took the bowl and touched Li Xinran's bowl, and then took a sip of wine.
Li Xinran was stunned for a moment, "You suddenly spoke so seriously, it startled me, and I didn't even react." She raised the bowl and took a sip of juice, "It's okay, come to me next time you are dying, and this girl will save you." ”
"You always say that I saved you, but why didn't you save me? After my dad left, I hadn't seen a fly in three years, and I was on the verge of collapse. ”
"Can you imagine? Every day, in order not to starve to death, I have to go out early and return late to find food, day after day, week after week, every day is lifeless and hopeless. There is no sound in the world, sometimes walking shoes on the snow will frighten my heart, the sound of the damn branch being broken echoes in the woods, I look forward to collecting enough food early to come back here, at least warm here, at least a bed here, at least a computer here, at least so that I can complain to my netizens and make jokes, even though I know they are probably on the other side of the world. ”
"Thank you for giving me a feeling of home, it's beautiful, someone can talk to every day, even if it's some innocuous conversations, every day is cared for, and people are needed, you can be coquettish when you're happy, and you can lose your temper when you're unhappy."
"The most important thing is that I can laze into bed every day, and even though the bed made by this guy is shaky, to be honest, it feels great to be able to sleep peacefully every night and wake up the next day!"
Li Xinran said a lot with tears in her eyes, she was very proud to control herself and didn't shed tears, otherwise it would be too hypocritical, like those talent singers in some eras.
