Chapter 63: Eruption
Seeing the ash mist spewed out by the volcano, Heung-woo began to worry that the volcano was about to erupt. Xingyu didn't dare to look any further, and immediately climbed down from the cabin and pumped up the yobo ball as a precaution. Heung-woo was just filling up the yobo ball when he heard Mia shouting, "Smoke is coming out of the volcano." Xingyu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: "So fast? Usually it takes at least a few days for a volcano to emit ash smoke and smoke gushing out! "Xingyu forgot that icebergs are different from continental volcanoes. The melting of icebergs will exacerbate the thermal expansion and contraction of the strata, which will worsen the condition of the volcano. It's like the principle that when a stone is roasted over a fire, the stone is poured with cold water, and the stone will crack.
Heung-woo climbed onto the platform and stared at the smoke in the distance with Mia. From time to time, Xingyu looked back at the sails filled with the wind, anxiously worried that they were not far enough from the volcano. But the sails are only so big that they provide limited power. Just as Xingyu looked back at the sails again, he heard a burst of sound. Xingyu's heart immediately tensed, and he immediately turned his head to look at the volcano. I saw a puff of white smoke rising from the thick smoke. Then, as if dazzled, the two of them saw the entire ice field overlapping images. They were at sea, and they couldn't feel the earthquake, they could only see the ice sheets shaking. In the thick smoke, once again rushed out of the jet. Next, the interval between jet rushes out is getting denser and denser.
Heungwoo and Mia saw that the ice field was shaking and began to crack. The ice on the coast began to disintegrate, and pieces of ice floe broke away from the glacier and drifted out of the sea. Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the bay at the other end of the coast, at the mouth of the hole that had been flooded by the sea. The sea erupted violently as if it had been bombarded with depth charges. At this time, Xingyu and Mia saw that the ice field cracked, and a large, large plain broke away. At this moment, the towering icebergs behind the ice field rose from a high place and rolled white mist stretched down. The ice and snow attached to the iceberg began to roll down, and then the two of them saw that large chunks of ice broke off from the iceberg and smashed into the ice field below. Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the midst of the continuous impact of ups and downs. The split ice floes suddenly accelerated and rushed outward. It's like a pair of giant hands pushing the ice floes on the surface of the sea. Seeing a large area of ice floes and huge waves rushing towards them, the frightened two did not dare to continue watching, and immediately left the platform, and before climbing down the cabin, Xingyu hurriedly put away the sails. Then he climbed out of the cabin and rushed into the ball.
As soon as Heungwoo and Mia climbed into the Yobo Ball, they felt the drifting boat and suddenly accelerated forward. Then I heard the crashing sound, and the ice floe crashed against the drifting boat. The two hugged each other tightly, and both of them were scared in their hearts, afraid that the drifting boat would not be able to hold on. At this time, the two felt that the drifting boat was constantly accelerating. The acceleration even caused them to press against the back wall of the ball. Xingyu wondered in his heart, how could it be so fast. Now they felt like they were weightless in a high-speed jet, and the two of them began to feel dizzy after high-speed weightlessness, and even wanted to vomit. Soon after, the two fell into a coma.
After Heung-woo woke up, when his eyes were still hazy, he felt that he was lying on top of Mia. Heungwoo rolled over and lay down, thinking about what had just happened. Why is there sudden weight loss at high speed? Xingyu couldn't figure it out. So Xingyu didn't think about it anymore, the most important thing now is that they are fine, and the drifting boat has not seeped water. They can go on and live. Heungwoo sat up and saw that Mia was still unconscious. So he woke Mia awake. Mia felt like she had just woken up and wanted to stay in bed. But as if thinking of something, he suddenly sat up with his eyes wide open. Then Mia looked around and asked, "Are we alright?" Xingyu looked at Miya's cute appearance, smiled, pulled Miya over and hugged her, and then said happily, "We're fine." ”
Heungwoo and Mia climbed onto the platform and saw that the sea had calmed down. They were adrift on the sea, surrounded by the sea. The icebergs are gone, there is no ice floes on the sea, and there is a silent ocean. A strange feeling rose in Xingyu's heart, but he couldn't tell what was going on. At this time, both of them felt themselves sweating. That's when they remembered that they were still wearing ski suits. After Mia took off her ski suit, she happily said, "Finally, I don't have to wear this bulky ski suit anymore." But then they realized something was wrong. Why is it still hot? They felt as hot as they had been on Mav Island. Xingyu said suspiciously: "We seem to have experienced the displacement of the geocentric axis. Now we seem to be near the equator. Mia looked at Xingyu in surprise and said, "The end of the world?" ”。 The sea is vast, and Xingyu can't be sure what happened.
For them, it's not the same as the end of the world. They are still adrift on the sea, which is no different from what they had before. They still have to try to survive.
Thankfully, this time their boat didn't roll over. Everything in the cabin was safe and sound. Originally, the two of them were most worried that the two plants would break in the tumble. Luckily, the two plants were fine, just sideways. Now that they're fine, it's time to start planting. Otherwise, the problem of vitamin C will entangle them again.
The aisle above the tank has been converted into a platform at the front, and there is a 2-meter-long aisle left at the stern. Xingyu tied four ice buckets to the walkway, prepared one ice bucket for the two unknown varieties of plants, and two ice buckets for mud potatoes. The remaining ice bucket is used to ferment the fertilizer. When it comes to growing potatoes, they're already ripe. They put three potatoes on the soil to bask in the sun and let the potatoes sprout. They budget that two ice buckets can grow 8 potato seedlings. In their previous experience, 8 potato seedlings harvested potatoes, just enough for them to eat in a cycle. In addition to looking forward to the potato harvest, they are also looking forward to the two plants bearing fruit. And during this time, they can only make a living by fishing.
Two weeks later, those two plants began to bloom. One tree has a small white flower with 6 petals, while the other has a yellow flower like a 5-pointed star, and the core of the yellow flower protrudes like a soft thorn. Soon after, the small white flower fell off and slowly grew a pointed fruit. The fruit of this tree is very recognizable, and as it grows day by day, they quickly recognize that this tree is growing peppers. And the other one is not recognizable. The core of the yellow flower, which looks like a soft thorn in the middle, slowly swells. After a week, the core bears a green, oval fruit. Until this time, the two still couldn't recognize what the fruit was. It wasn't until the fruit grew to the size of a bird's egg and then slowly turned from green to yellow that Mia recognized it as a small tomato. Now, they were so happy.
When they recognized the other one as a pepper tree, they were a little depressed. Usually, they rarely eat spicy food. I'm afraid I can't eat spicy, but chili peppers are very rich in vitamin C. So you can't eat spicy food. Tomatoes are different, they love to eat them. Although tomatoes do not contain as much vitamin C as chili peppers, vitamin A is far superior to chili peppers.
