Chapter 142: The phenomenon of re-icing
What scared Tianxuan was what turned out to be the silver-white four-legged beast.
Just as Tianxuan was talking to Black Katy, he saw the four-legged beasts poke their sunflower-like faces down. Suddenly, he chuckled in his heart and swallowed violently.
"What is this?" Tianxuan looked at the sunflower-like face, and before he could react to what was going on, suddenly a small hole appeared on the face of the four-legged beast, and then a cyan light wave hit him like he was here.
When the cyan light wave touched Tianxuan, he immediately felt the power of this sluggish relationship. Suddenly, the whole person felt numb, wanted to speak but couldn't open his mouth for a long time, and the hand holding the communicator kept directing to move, and finally "snoring", the communicator fell on the ice slope and rolled down, and he could only lie on the spot and stare dryly.
"No!" After a few minutes, Tianxuan finally shouted. However, it was too late, and by the time he retrieved the communicator, it had run out of energy and could no longer communicate with Black Katy.
"Hey!" Tianxuan knelt on the ground in annoyance for a while, clenching his fists and constantly hammering the ice surface, his expression was both sad and regretful. Blake couldn't bear to see him like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up.
"Why bother!" Blake explained.
"The only hope is gone!" Tianxuan said with annoyance.
"Don't be so sad, haven't you come up with many ways to come all the way? Do you care about a prompt on the other end of the phone? Blake explained slowly.
A word woke up the person in the dream, Tianxuan cleaned up his mood, and said calmly after his expression returned to normal: "Blake, you are right, I have been too dependent recently, which will affect my thinking!" ”
Seeing that Tianxuan got rid of the shadow so quickly, Blake patted him and said with a smile: "That's right, there is nothing difficult in the world, only people with hearts!" ”
"Hmm!" Tianxuan nodded with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
As a result, Tianxuan and Black returned to the ice slope below the platform, and Hercules was panicking against the slow light of the four-legged beast.
"It's useless to just fight the speed of the four-legged beast like this, to grab time!" Tianxuan said with his fingers on his chin.
"Oh? What do you think of? Blake asked with a smile.
"Hmmm! I have an idea! Tianxuan paused for a moment, then pointed to the four-legged beast and said, "If the sluggish light they emit is not out of the light level, then I have a way to try it!" ”
"What's the solution?" Blake's pupils immediately widened when he heard this, and he became interested.
"We can use the principle of mirror emission to reflect back the light waves emitted by the four-legged beast, and return the favor to the other person." Tianxuan made a brief explanation.
"Not bad! You can give it a try, I'll talk to Hercules! Then, Blake told Hercules about Tianxuan's thoughts.
Then, Hercules immediately organized his troops, removed the armor of the elite warriors, and assembled them into a row of reflective shields, blocking the front of the four-legged beast. As a result, as Tianxuan expected, the cyan light wave really reflected back after encountering the shield.
"Great!" Hercules clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "Come on, continue to build the operating platform!" ”
In this way, as the shield effectively reflected the sluggish light, Hercules and the others successfully completed the second mining.
"Great! Mine again and you're done! Hercules said with some excitement.
"Yes! It's finally over! At this time, Tianxuan closed his eyes and smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally over.
However, seeing that the last mining was well underway, things suddenly took a 180° turn.
After successfully reflecting the sluggish light, the four-legged beasts did not retreat, but gathered more and more. Seeing that the sluggish light could not attack people, they turned to attack the console under their feet.
"Not good! Jump! Hercules shouted.
Fortunately, there was a shield to defend it this time, but fortunately, only someone had a slight fall, and there were no ice sculptures.
Still unrelenting after the defeat, Hercules regrouped his men to build the console on the ice. However, since the angle of the ice slope is greater than 45°, dozens of people carry it under each console.
"Now I'm not afraid of their sluggish light!" Hercules said with some smugness, and then he ordered his men to continue mining the ice crystal.
Then, under the cover of the shield, the mining work continued in an orderly manner. Although the console was not built on the platform, the four-legged beast seemed to be very unhappy with the Mayans' mining of ice crystals, and desperately emitted cyan light waves, but at this time it did not pose any threat to the Mayans.
A moment later, seeing that the last batch of ice crystals was about to be mined, the four-legged beasts began to become restless, and after their four feet kept stepping on the ice, two holes appeared in Sunflower's face.
Tianxuan saw a hole that was different from the slow light before, and immediately became alert, and hurriedly raised his head and shouted: "The people above are careful, the four-legged beast has shown unusual behavior." ”
However, Tianxuan's reminder was still too late, and before the miners could react, two holes in the face of the four-legged beast emitted a sharp sound wave, and everyone couldn't help but cover their ears, and this sound wave was also effective against the snowman.
There is no doubt that the dozens of people responsible for supporting the operation under each operating table also covered their ears, and suddenly the operating table collapsed, and the people above also fell down, fell onto the ice slope and rolled down.
"How can it be!" Hercules was breathing heavily, looking very angry.
"Is that really the end of it?" Tianxuan asked himself rhetorically. After a while, unable to think of a solution, he crouched down and prepared to clench his fists and hammer the ground.
However, just as Tianxuan raised his hand to hammer the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he put down his raised hand and touched the ice under his feet with his hand.
"That's right!" Tianxuan screamed, then raised his fist and pounded the ground violently.
"Hey! Tianxuan, why are you like this again? And if you want to masochist, it's Hercules, it's not your turn! Blake walked over and persuaded.
"It's not! You crouch down and touch the ice! Tianxuan turned his head and said with a smile.
So, Blake crouched down and touched his hand again.
"Do you feel anything? Does it feel very rough? Tianxuan asked with a smile with wide eyes.
"That's right! It's quite rough indeed! Blake replied with a frown as he touched the ice.
"That's right! You touch me again! Tianxuan pointed to the ice he had just hammered and said.
Then, Blake touched the ground where Tianxuan hammered, and then after a "silk" sound, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's smooth!" Then he looked at the edge of Tianxuan's palm and asked violently, "......What do you mean?"
"That's right! In fact, the ice surface is very rough, and when a certain surface of an ice is pressed, the pressure lowers the melting point, causing the ice to melt into water, and then we feel slippery, because we are stepping on water, not ice. Tianxuan said excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.
"But isn't it still ice after we've walked by?"
“NO! NO! Tianxuan shook his head lightly and said, "Once the pressure disappears, the melting point rises back to its original level, and the water condenses into ice again. This is the phenomenon of re-icing, I almost forgot about it! ”
"So, what did you do again?" Blake asked.
"Hmmm! Follow me! With that, Tianxuan got up and pulled Blake to the front line of mining.
At this time, Hercules, who was about to give up mining and began to retreat, saw Tianxuan running over with a smile, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Looking at you like this, what have you discovered?" ”
"You don't have to retreat now, we can successfully harvest the last batch of ice crystals!" Tianxuan said with a slight sense of mystery with a smile.
"Huh? What's the situation? Hercules asked blankly.
Next, Tianxuan instructed everyone to use the flame blade to cut vertical openings in the ice surface, and then embedded the foundation of the operating table into it. Not only that, Tianxuan also fixed the foundation around it with extremely tough metal wires.
"You don't need a human to hold it on the ice!" Just as Hercules was full of doubts, something magical happened—the foundation and the wires moved downward, and in a matter of seconds they were firmly embedded in the ice, no matter how much they shook.
"Yay? Which one is this playing? Hercules looked at Tianxuan curiously and asked.
"Alright! Since you are sincere in asking questions, then I will tell you with great mercy! Tianxuan raised his head and looked proud.
"Say it! Don't sell it! ”
"Good, good! The essence of the phenomenon of re-icing is that the ice melts under pressure but freezes again after the pressure is removed. So the thin line of the load and the foundation can pass through at about -10 degrees, but it cannot cut the ice. Due to the phenomenon of re-icing, the ice melts due to the increased pressure, so the melting point of the ice under the metal rope and foundation decreases, and that part of the ice will melt away, and the metal rope and foundation will enter the ice. Since the pressure of the place where the metal rope and foundation pass through it returns to normal, the melting point of the ice returns to normal, so it freezes again, so the place where the metal rope and foundation pass through will also turn into ice again, resulting in the result that the metal rope and foundation enter the ice. ”
"I see! How did you come up with the idea? Hercules asked with a smile.
"Of course, it was a flash of inspiration!" Tianxuan said as he raised his head with his palm and hair. But in fact, he was thinking at this time: "I won't tell you, in fact, I thought of it when I was masochistic!" Hey! ”
Then, the miners continued their work on the operating platform on the ice slope, this time completely ignoring the four-legged beasts. Whenever they emit a sluggish light, they hold their shields against them, and crouch down to cover their ears whenever they emit a sharp sound wave.
Then, in between the four-legged beasts' launches, the miners continued to mine the Ice Crystal. Finally, half an hour later, everyone was gone, ready to start their journey back, leaving the wooden four-legged beasts behind.
"Hahaha! The four-legged beasts are still watching! Hercules laughed.
"Yes! But aren't we going a little too far, as if we're encroaching on their territory! Tianxuan was not so happy at this time, and said with some doubts.
"Hey! What are you worried about, we're just picking some crystals, and it's not good, I want to open some! Hercules said, putting his arm around Tianxuan's shoulder.
"That's right!" Tianxuan was relieved all of a sudden. However, from this incident, he has come to understand a truth, at any time people should not rely too much on others, they must always use their brains and maintain their own independent thinking, otherwise once they lose their dependence, they will lose their spiritual pillars and will lose their way.
