Chapter 268: Hive Building
Lin Xuan suddenly thought of the famous sentence of the great man "Sitting on the ground and traveling 80,000 miles a day, surveying the sky and looking at a thousand rivers from afar", isn't his current state of being in a state where his body is not moving and his vision is gone for thousands of miles, is it exactly the same as described in the sentence?
When he felt that he had moved away from the Earth and deep into the black hole of the Milky Way, was his body still in front of the mirror? Or is the body gone, and only the spirit and soul remain?
Around him, the stars are twinkling, and all the stars are unified by the infinite mysterious vastness and darkness as the unified background, and even the stars cannot control themselves, what is he a little earthling? It's just so small that it's not even a mote of dust.
Finally, he felt a state of "silent disappearance", as if his body had dispersed, scattered into 108,000 dust, not only invisible to the naked eye, but also invisible even with an electron digital microscope magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times. He exists only in the physical realm, only in the name of the zài, and in fact does not have any impact on anything in the world, and is completely separated from the original world.
"Ahh
Samantha fell, Luo Yuan's throat was pierced by a spear, the spear and sapphire in his hand were still there, and the water droplets in the tin box on the ground were also there.
"So I'm still alive?" Lin Xuan whispered happily.
He looked down at his chest, there were no bullet holes in his chest, and he was standing here intact.
"So, that bullet...... Those strange hallucinations of mine...... Where exactly did I go? Is that just some inconsequential illusion? Now, what should I do? Leaving with guns and gems? Forget it, let's wake Samantha first-" He walked over to Samantha's side.
The two of them were about fifteen paces apart, and under normal circumstances, it would only take ten seconds to walk to where Samantha was lying on her back, but when he took three or four steps, he suddenly found that the distance between the two had not narrowed, and they still maintained about fifteen steps.
Lin Xuan stopped and looked at his feet.
The tunnels are all on the same floor, with slightly damp cyan rock.
The distance between him and Luo Yuan was less than ten steps, so he turned around and walked towards Luo Yuan.
Strange things happened again, and he couldn't reduce the distance between him and Luo Yuan, no matter how he walked, the distance didn't change.
The sapphire in Luo Yuan's palm flashed, attracting Lin Xuan's attention. He reached forward and tried to grasp the gem, but found that the air in front of him had become very heavy, and it was not as easy as usual to reach out as long as the palm of his hand could reach it.
He slowly exerted his strength, overcoming the resistance in the air, and finally took the sapphire in his hand.
Suddenly, he heard staccato music coming from behind him.
Behind him is the mirror, and if there is music, it must come from the mirror.
"It's strange—" He turned slowly, and suddenly realized that his back was empty, and there was no mirror at all.
"What? What about mirrors? He was a little strange, turning his head, turning his head, turning his head, turning his head several times in a row, and found that he was behind him in a tunnel, and in front of him were Luo Yuan and Samantha, and the mirror had completely disappeared.
While he couldn't find the mirror, he found another problem, he was in a tunnel that connected front and back, and he could either walk forward and meet Luo Yuan with difficulty, or he could go backwards and enter the infinitely deep tunnel. Of course, in his logical thinking, if he walked backwards, he would walk out of the tunnel and see a large number of Luo Yuan's subordinates.
"Mr. Luo Yuan, Samantha—" he exclaimed.
It's a pity that Luo Yuan has been pierced by a spear in his throat, and the possibility of responding to him is almost gone.
"What to do? Get out first? He was conflicted, but there was no good way but to walk along the tunnel.
After about five minutes of walking, there was a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Walking further, soon you will arrive at the entrance of the tunnel, and the outside is bright.
Something even more terrifying happened, Lin Xuan found that after he finished the tunnel, he didn't see Luo Yuan's subordinates, nor did he see the familiar scene, but was in an extremely high cliff opening, looking down, bottomless; Looking up, it is unattainable; Looking ahead, there is a huge glowing honeycomb within 100 meters.
The hive building was at least a few hundred meters in diameter, suspended in the air, and quite strange.
In nature, the existence of the hive has its special significance.
The hive is the place where the bee colony lives and reproduces its offspring, and is composed of the nest spleen, each of which hangs parallel to each other in the space within the hive and is perpendicular to the ground, and the spacing of the nest spleen is 7 to 10 mm, which is called the bee road. Each nest is made up of thousands of nests linked together, and is built by worker bees using beeswax secreted by their own wax glands. The large and small hexagonal nests, which are used to breed drones and worker bees, respectively, have three diamond-shaped faces on the bottom. The nest used to cultivate the queen bee, called the king platform, is shaped like a drooping peanut, which is temporarily built by the bee colony before the bee split, and is mostly on the lower part and corners of the nest spleen. Between the male and worker hives, and at the junction between the nest spleen and the nest frame, irregular transitional nests appear for honey storage and reinforcement of the nest spleen.
The hive is the necessary "furniture" and "pantry" of the bee home, and from an architectural point of view, if the hive is circular or octagonal, there will be voids, and if it is triangular or quadrangular, the area will be reduced. Therefore, among these shape constructions, the hexagon is the most scientific and the most efficient structure.
Architecturally, this hexagonal structure is called a honeycomb structure, and because it is so strong, it is used in the wings of airplanes and the walls of artificial satellites. The inner and outer nests of the hive are just half staggered from each other, and the point where the sides of the hexagonal shape intersect is the center of the inner hexagon. This is to increase the strength and prevent the bottom of the nest from breaking. In addition, from the cross-sectional view, it can be seen that the direction of the nest on both sides is facing upwards.
The honeycomb is strictly hexagonal cylindrical. It has a hexagonal opening at one end and the base of a closed hexagonal pyramid at the other, consisting of three identical diamonds. At the beginning of the 18th century, the French scholar Malaarche had specially measured the size of a large number of beehives, and he was very surprised that all the obtuse angles of the diamond shape of these hives that formed the chassis were 10928′, and all the acute angles were 7032′. Later, after the French mathematician König and the Scottish mathematician Mark Lorraine theoretically calculated, if the least amount of material is to be consumed, the largest diamond container is made from this angle. In this sense, bees can be called "genius mathematicians and designers".
The honeycomb-shaped building puzzled Lin Xuan, because in his impression, only visionaries would build such flashy things, because it was not suitable for human habitation.
"Where am I?" He thought about it first, and finally confirmed that he was in the tunnel.
"Where's the mirror?" The mirror doesn't disappear suddenly, there must be something anomalous going on inside the tunnel.
"Is Luo Yuan dead?" The answer is yes, no one can escape by being pierced through the throat with a sharp weapon.
"How do I get back?" When he asked himself this question, he turned back and ran.
He had to go back to Samantha and wake her up so that we could find a way to face the difficulties together.
