Chapter 3 Preliminary Exploration
On Earth, the day and night of the poles only change once every six months.
If this is another planet, the time difference between day and night must be different, if it happens to be on the poles of this planet, it is possible to change day and night every few years, and during the day, the appearance of nine suns in the sky is not necessarily a legend!
Li Yi was originally very confident in this crossing journey, thinking that after making all the preparations, at least there would not be too many mistakes, but after thousands of calculations, he still did not calculate that he would encounter such difficulties at the beginning of the crossing.
If it's really a polar day and a night, it's not a difficulty, it's a real danger!
Crossing is really not so fun, those in the novel turned out to fool people!
But now it's useless to regret it, you can't go back, and scolding your mother is just a waste of mental and physical strength, which is meaningless.
Now the only thing Li Yi can do is to wait, at least wait in place for another day, if it is still night, then he must consider directly launching an expedition.
As Li Yi guessed, in this world, or this planet, the nights are extremely long!
But fortunately, what he encountered was not a polar night and a polar day, but a normal day-night cycle.
Just when Li Yi almost collapsed and despaired, it was 21 hours since he crossed into this world......
It's finally dawn!
Li Yi cried with joy.
It wasn't strictly dawn at the moment, but just a hint of gray in the sky, and the night had just turned into a gray night, but at least the visibility had improved considerably, and the outlines of the sides above the Grand Canyon could already be faintly seen.
Seeing the color of dawn, Li Yi, who put down the heavy stone in his heart, couldn't help but put his hands together and said "Amitabha".
This is really a bright and endless road!
After putting his mind at ease, Li Yi did not have the heart to observe the surrounding situation, but immediately found the sapper shovel to dig a pit and bury the bag.
Probably because of the low gravitational pull, the soil on the planet was very soft, and his strength seemed to be much "greater", and in just a few moments, he dug seven or eight large pits around the camp with great ease.
According to the requirements of the third set of plans, there is only one purpose for digging so many pits - all eggs cannot be put in one basket!
Subsequently, Li Yi opened all the suitcases and backpacks, and reorganized the materials inside, and sorted and packed all the materials that may not be used or temporarily used in this world, and finally left only a large backpack with a week's worth of rations.
After burying and marking the bags, more than half an hour has passed, but the sky has clearly turned white, and although the scenery in the distance is still relatively blurry, the surrounding scene is clearly visible.
Li Yi sat on the spot to recover his strength, and at the same time looked up and down left and right with a curious face.
It was no different from the situation Li Yi had come to last time, and the crossing point was in a canyon.
This canyon is very large, the middle terrain is flat, the height of the cliffs on both sides is between 100-200 meters, the width of the canyon is nearly 1,000 meters, it looks more like a river, from the end of the valley of several hundred meters before and after, the road sight is blocked by the staggered cliffs, and I don't know how long this canyon extends, and what will be the scene behind.
The whole Grand Canyon looks very desolate, there is no vegetation, and there are no birds and animals, the soil in the middle zone is soft, the viscosity is not high, the color is brown and yellow, the closer to the cliff, the hardness and viscosity of the soil are higher, and the darker the color, but whether it is the bottom of the valley or the cliff, the surface is earthy, and there is no presence of rocks.
This is certainly not the Earth!
Li Yi further confirmed the world he was in.
The only environment on earth that is similar to the current situation is the desert, but the desert is because of the lack of water, and the soil here obviously contains a small amount of water, but there is still no plant in sight, not even a small grass!
When he was digging the pit just now, he paid special attention to it, and found that not to mention earthworms or anything, he didn't even see an ant!
In short, the environment of this world is very abnormal!
After looking left and right for a while, Li Yi retracted his gaze, tilted his head and thought about it, and took out a few copper coins from his jacket pocket.
After throwing the coin on the ground at random, remembering the number of sides and sides, he picked it up and threw it again, and after throwing it back and forth six times, he stopped and stuffed it back into his pocket.
Then, Li Yi used his fingertips to write and draw directly on the ground for a long time, and then closed his eyes and pondered like an old monk, and his mouth was still babbling some strange pronunciations.
After a while, Li Yi opened his eyes and looked uncertainly in the direction to the right of the canyon.
Li Yi's actions are not immortal formulas, but just a kind of Yishu metaphysics learned in the old time and space, called Liuyao.
This thing is the same as Ziping Bazi, Qimen Dunjia, Ziwei Doushu, Plum Blossom Easy Count, etc., which can be used to divinate good fortune and calculate numerology.
As a master's degree in psychology, Li Yi has always been interested in metaphysics, and during his graduate studies, with the recognition and support of his supervisor, his research direction is the intrinsic relationship between psychology and numerology.
Numerology and psychology have many similarities, nothing more than one is mystified, one is covered with a layer of scientific skin, one of his research projects is to remove the dross of numerology and extract its essence, imitating psychology to explain the principles and phenomena of numerology in a scientific way.
After in-depth research, Li Yi found that most of the principles of numerology can be explained by science or psychology, in fact, almost all of his graduate students in that class called themselves masters of metaphysics, but their research directions were different, some studied Feng Shui, some studied Buddhism, and some studied constellation tarot cards or something.
And Li Yi's main attack is Liuyao and Ziwei Doushu, one is used to measure good luck and the other is used to tell fortunes.
But now the problem comes, if it is reborn or traveled to ancient times, or to a similar time and space, this set of metaphysics may come in handy, but now that this is not on the earth, the metaphysical system of the old time and space may collapse......
"I don't know if it's useful, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor......"
Li Yi sighed faintly.
He originally had extremely high expectations for his specialty, thinking that he might even become a golden finger after crossing, but now, he has no hope at all, maybe this is a dragon slaying technique, it is useless, and it is even counterproductive.
However, the current situation is that there is no difference between the two directions of the front and back directions, either left or right, either A or B, either big or small, no different from throwing dice to gamble.
Since no matter how you choose, the probability of good luck and evil is 50%, it is better to follow the metaphysical method of the old time and space, maybe it is more reliable than shaking the dice?
With this strange idea, Li Yi finally chose to explore the right side of the canyon, anyway, even if the direction is wrong, it's a big deal to turn back.
Before leaving, Li Yi was very cautious and only carried dry food and drinking water for three meals, and all the excess food was packed into a large backpack and dug a pit on the spot to bury it, and only brought a saber and binoculars in terms of weapons and tools.
This trip is only a preliminary exploration, the purpose is to find out the situation in the vicinity, and then it is necessary to return to this camp to make plans, so there is no need to carry so much weight, and it can also prevent unnecessary material losses after accidents.
After checking all the supplies he was carrying, and feeling that nothing was missing, Li Yi took the binoculars, took a few glances for a while, and cautiously walked forward in the selected direction for a while.
I have to say that walking on this planet, a normal step is worth three steps on the earth, which is really easier for an earthling, and the speed has increased a lot while not feeling tired at all.
Soon, Li Yi walked near the bend in the canyon.
He slowed down appropriately, stopped when he reached the corner, squatted down and cautiously poked his head out to take a look, and saw that there was nothing unusual in front of him, so he boldly picked up the telescope and took a closer look.
"Safety!"
Li Yi muttered in a low voice, put away the binoculars, got up and continued to move forward.
Since coming to this world, Li Yi has often talked to himself, which is not his habit, but is intentional at present, because this is a good means of self-psychological suggestion, which can relieve the fear and loneliness in his heart, otherwise, sooner or later, he will have psychological problems.
At this moment, Li Yi has entered an "S" shaped canyon bend, the length of each bend is only more than 100 meters, and the width has been reduced to less than 300 meters.
Observing with a telescope, I am afraid that it is thousands of meters long, and the scene in front is still like a bird not pooping.
"Or ...... Take a look at the canyon first? ”
Li Yi began to doubt the effect of throwing copper coins, if there was really a strong magnetic field interference source nearby, some clues would definitely be seen at such a distance in front, but in fact, there was no change in front of him.
After thinking about it, Li Yi still decided to walk along the bottom of the valley for a while, and if there was nothing to find at that time, it would be useless to further confirm that this direction was useless, and it would not be too late to return to the original path or go to the top of the canyon.
But less than 100 meters out of the corner, Li Yi heard a strange "buzzing" sound overhead.
When he raised his eyes, the whole person was suddenly stupid on the spot, and his hands were unconsciously raised, and he made a surrender move.
