Chapter Seventy-Three: Swimming Past (I)
Now the relationship between us is tacitly not harmonious and distrustful of each other, but there is still a thin layer of window paper, and no one has pierced it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It may be that more is better than less, or it may not be time yet, and the last straw that needs to break the camel's back - but this feeling of vanity and grievance is really terrible!
The third master turned the lamp to the west side wall, the wall was still the same, perpendicular to the horizon at a ninety degree angle, there was no place on the wall to settle down, the wall was high and stretched upward, until it pierced into the invisible darkness depths, wanting to compare with the heavens. There is absolutely no "way out" at all.
But the words of the third master are not unreasonable, if this person does not find a way, how can he fall into the quicksand layer fifteen meters away? It can't just swim past, right?
Swim?! Wait--"Will it ...... Can you swim there? ”
As soon as I spoke, everyone looked at me from all directions, and they didn't understand what I was talking about, only the junior brother snapped his fingers: "Senior brother, you want to go with me!" That's what I mean! If we can swim down from the oil, why can't we swim through the quicksand? ”
Teachers and disciples have straight brains, and they can generally think of things that ordinary people can't think of, dare not think, or don't think about at all, often when we are in a desperate situation, all kinds of methods are exhausted, but in the end, it is the most primitive and simple method that works.
I didn't expect that this time, I would be able to straighten it out, and I really wanted to go with him.
Everyone understood at this moment, but their expressions became incomprehensible, and they looked at us with the eyes of a madman.
Old Joe was exactly as if we were joking: "Swim over? Scold...... Do you know what quicksand is? In 1692, an earthquake in the port of Loyle, Jamaica, caused by the liquefaction of the soil, swallowed up a third of the city and more than 2,000 lives. Just sitting in the quicksand and waiting to die? ”
The junior brother raised his eyebrows and said disapprerovingly: "What if, they really didn't expect it?" ”
My brother's words are not convincing at all, but I have a strong feeling in my heart that "swimming past" must be right, feasible, and the only way out.
But this is just a feeling, there is not enough evidence, no one will believe it, and no one will dare to take this risk. After all, this is not a physics laboratory, and we are not guinea pigs, and if the experiment fails, if we don't have a white-gloved hand of God pinching our tails and sneaking us out, we will only be faced with a dead end.
Just when he was in trouble, he suddenly swept away, and saw that behind the bronze door, the stone that Lao Qiao had just thrown in for the experiment had actually floated up again, but the position where it floated up had moved forward by about thirty centimeters.
I had an idea, so I told everyone about this discovery, and then said: "Actually, quicksand, like water, is also buoyant, and we only need to find this critical point that can make people float up, and we can determine whether we can swim over!" "This is the clinical experience I learned when I was a kid when I was learning to swim, and I don't know how to explain it in physics, so I can only tell it in the most popular language with my intuitive feeling.
When I speak, my thoughts are very chaotic, there are a lot of things to say, but I don't know how to say it, how to arrange the order so that people can understand, just like that, I think and talk at the same time, my heart is in a hurry, and I speak even more chaotically, and many words and terms are also used in a mess, completely thinking about where to say: "I'll ...... first For example, a piece of wood can float on the surface of the water without doing anything, and the draft is only half that of the wood, while a piece ...... No, a half-canned iron gasoline drum must be completely sunk into the water before it can surface again, and the draft must reach the neck of the iron cylinder! What does this mean, it shows that the buoyancy of the water has a great correlation with the density of the sinking object! Just now, this stone, like the 'gasoline barrel' that sank into the water, first sinks, and then floats up, we only need to do a few more experiments to find out the density of the 'wood' that does not sink in the water at all, and then compare it with people, we can know whether this method is feasible! ”
Lao Qiao is well versed in the principle of quicksand, although what I said is chaotic, but he understood it at once, his face couldn't help showing excitement, and he went to extract the essence roughly, and summarized: "That's right! When the object sinks into quicksand, the surface sand will become soft, so that it will run down, pulling the object to sink, and when the object sinks to a certain extent, the sand and clay that fall from the upper layer to the bottom layer will gradually coalesce, and it will produce thick sediment to prevent the object from sinking further. Among them, this 'certain depth' is the trade-off between the density of the object and the quicksand that Xiao Qian just said. The smaller the density of the object, smaller than the quicksand, the lower the depth of the subsidence, and the less it will be destroyed. ”
I immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" That's what I mean! ”
But my explanation was too confusing, and Lao Qiao's explanation was too professional, and everyone listened to it as if they were falling into a fog, and the expression on their faces was still extremely confused. Especially when they don't have the consciousness to "swim" in the sand, and even have an anti-consciousness, it's even more incomprehensible.
It's like a person who doesn't believe in wall-piercing, and you explain to him how to get from one side of the wall to the other, and he doesn't believe it in his heart, and he must think that you are talking nonsense, and even if you say a word, he will refute it in his heart.
But Lao Qiao's last sentence "There will be no catastrophe" is talking about the heart of the sixth son, after all, he has had an experience of being bitten by quicksand and being saved, and he knows what it feels like: "I understand!" What do you mean is that when a person gets stuck in this quicksand, he doesn't actually get into it completely, he only gets into his waist, chest, or neck, and then we can move slowly forward in it, which is what you call 'swimming'? ”
Old Qiao pinched his beard, his face was obviously relieved, and he finally had an enlightenment: "That's exactly what I mean." ”
Ah Chen nodded half-knowingly, and then asked, "Then who will be sent down to the experiment?" ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately looked at me, and I looked at you. There was already a dislike between everyone, and now they are afraid that each other will push them out, and their eyes are more cautious, but they are full of viciousness that wants to calculate others.
I'm really fed up with this feeling, there is no one to trust around, and everyone's hearts are full of suspicion and hypocrisy! The cold bench has openly rebelled, it seems that even my junior brother and Lao Qiao have been estranged from me, and after a few days of not seeing each other, people's hearts have changed greatly!
But on the other hand, do I really trust the third master and uncle? Are you willing to be guinea pigs for them and risk your life? No, I don't know...... Maybe, maybe not—I hate myself like that!
, it's driving me crazy! I blurted out, "I'll go!" ”
