Chapter V: The Rapid Recording Method

"Wait, Sato, how many pieces of solid alcohol are these?" Yi San asked, pointing to the alcohol in the pan that was about to run out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The second one." Sato replied suspiciously.

Isn't it obvious, everyone has watched Sato add it before.

"yes, that's it." Yi San said, "Then look, why hasn't our hot air balloon been extinguished yet?" Yi San pointed to the beige "star" light point in the sky and said.

"That's right." John came to the spirit.

"That could be our SOS fluorescent solution glowing." Nick poured cold water down.

"No, the fluorescent liquid is at room temperature, and when it encounters cold air at high altitude, it will generate water vapor and liquefy on the surface, and then it will condense and solidify, and we can't see it. So that point of light should be the flame of alcohol burning! Yi San speculated.

"Look, our hot air balloon has stopped!" Kara was surprised.

Everyone looked into the sky and saw an off-white point of light fixed in a position in the air, flickering slightly.

"Ahn Hee Hyun, how long has it been since the hot air balloon lifted off?" Yi San asked An Xixuan.

Ahn Hee-hyun looked at his luminous watch and said, "32 minutes." ”

An Xixuan stared at the alcohol that was about to burn out, the light blue flame evaporated the surrounding snowflakes, and the volatilization of water vapor made the space around the flame look slightly distorted, and then raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up in the atomized glasses, and he stammered to Yi San: "Could it be, is it ......?"

Ahn Hee-hyun didn't continue.

"Yes, that's right, it's time! That gray-white cloud changed time! That's the Gate of Time and Space! Yi San said excitedly.

At this time, everyone found that the gray-white cloud was much lower than expected, because in the dark environment, there was no reference, so everyone preconceived that it was the gray-white cloud discovered by scientists on January 27, 1995, so they thought that it was ten kilometers there.

Now with the hot air balloon as a reference, it turns out that the gray-white clouds are very low, almost within reach of the distance of ten kilometers in the sky.

"If that cloud is the gateway of time and space, the closer you get to the cloud, the slower time passes until time stands still!" Ahn Hee-hyun also said excitedly.

"You're saying our hot air balloon actually only floated for 5 minutes?" Sato said half-incredulously.

The eyes of the crowd regained their brightness.

"That's right, time is the fourth dimension, enough to change everything in the three-dimensional world, including light! So what we're seeing now is a hot air balloon that lifts off for 5 minutes, and we succeeded. The nitrogen plant was successfully activated. Yi San said excitedly.

"Really? Are we saved? Kara asked, wiping her cheeks with a glove that had formed into tears.

"It's just that the distress signal was sent successfully. But there is a lot of hope. Sato said.

"I have a question, since the space-time gate changes the time of the hot air balloon, and you say that time can change light, how long will it take for rescuers to see our light signal?" Nick asked timidly as a layman.

Yi San and An Xixuan were stunned for a moment, and they both let out a helpless wry laugh. Oh, how long will it take for rescuers to spot this strange light signal?

This brief silence extinguished the flame of hope that had just been ignited by everyone. Then came a long silence.

There are many terrible things in the world, and there are many desperate moments. But there is nothing more tragic than giving you hope when you are desperate and then despairing. To torture your body, to destroy your spirit and to destroy your will.

"Although the situation is not very optimistic now, all we can do is wait quietly for help. Never give up on what's possible until the last minute. Anything on the outside can destroy you, but don't let yourself be destroyed from within. Yi San said loudly.

Yi San saw that John was reciting the Bible quickly, and he was about to fall into a state of epilepsy.

John was about to collapse.

The world fell silent, as if the world had been abandoned, and as if they had been abandoned by the world. For the first time, they experienced what it means to be isolated.

"Rustle." There was a rustle all around.

It's the sound of a pencil rubbing against paper.

"Yi San, what are you doing?" Ahn Hee-hyun discovers that the voice is coming from Yi San's body.

"I'm documenting this. Even if ......" Yi San stopped in his mouth, feeling that he shouldn't say it, and then continued to write rustlingly.

Yi San can clearly write everything he wants to express in the dark, and of course, only his grandfather can understand it.

Yi San's grandfather was a professor of history at a famous university, and he was particularly interested in the four ancient civilizations. He has written several authoritative books in the industry. Some theories have been benchmarks in the industry. Therefore, to be able to participate in most of the large-scale archaeological research, it is necessary to go to the major ruins all year round to record and evaluate the unearthed cultural relics, and most of the ruins must maintain the temperature and humidity of the ruins inside, and even the light because of the need to protect ancient cultural relics. The Dunhuang murals are because of the light, so that the color of the murals fall off. Therefore, Grandpa Yi San has developed the ability to record things in the dark.

He was inspired by the murals of primitive people, using symbols and experiences and words to briefly describe things, so the efficiency was increased to a terrifying level. And this experience has a lot to do with the social environment and personal life experience of the person who recorded it. This is also why primitive murals are now difficult to decipher, and can only be inferred and hypothesized by unearthed artifacts and fossils.

Now his grandfather's rapid recording method is almost a system. But he has no plans to sort it out and publish it to the world. However, he shared everything with his grandson, and it became a secret method of communication between them. It's like no other in the world. With Yi San's grandfather as the recorder's experience, their life experience is also unique, that is, family affection.

Yi San used ten sheets of paper to record everything, but in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, no one knew what he had written and drawn.

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the end he will stand on the earth. After this flesh of mine is destroyed, I will see God outside of the flesh. John and Nick read the Old Testament Job 19 in the hope that a miracle would happen.

At this time, the last bit of alcohol in the pan burned out, and the surroundings fell into extreme darkness.

I saw that the last green light in the sky was absorbed by the gray-white clouds, and there was only a cloud and a little starlight left in the heavens and the earth. There is also a howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes on the pavement.

"Lelouch, do you know why snow is white? Because it forgot its own color. They have a glimmer of hope because they can't see death. The flowers bloom and then wither. The stars are bright, but the light will disappear. The Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way, and even the universe will have a time to die. Compared with these things, man's life is like a momentary thing, and in such an instant, man is born, laughing, crying, hating, joy, sorrow, love, everything is just a fleeting encounter, and finally it will be reduced to the eternal sleep of death. Sato unhurriedly recited the anime quotations he had memorized to relieve his tension and avoid collapse.

And Kara was already crying and leaning on Yi San's shoulder.

Only Yi San and An Hee Hyun were silent, and at this time they were both the spiritual pillars of the team, and if they both showed despair, then they would be crushed in this endless darkness forever.

"Aurora, magnetic field, time, space, ......" Yi San silently reviewed everything that happened before. Try to sort out the ins and outs of it all in order to find the crux of the matter.

In the dark, Ahn Hee-hyun sat next to Yi San in the dark.

"If this space-time gate can change time, you say, what is behind the space-time gate?" Ahn Hee-hyun seemed to have nothing to love, but discussed the gray-white cloud.

"A white hole should be a wormhole connected to another universe or to another time and space. But let's not rush to discuss this yet, I'm worried about ......" Yi San whispered to An Xixuan.

"Think about it, I'll give you a simple example, the rice cooker we use for cooking, no, it should be like this, our insulated kettle. Even if you put it in the fridge for a few hours, the water in the kettle will still be warm. Think about it, if, I mean if, this sudden darkness is the kettle, we are the water in the kettle. Yi San said to An Xixuan.

"You mean, people out there don't know about us?" Ahn Hee-hyun couldn't sit still.

"Yes, we are like boiling water in the polar regions, kept warm by this darkness. Everything that changes on the outside can't change the inside, so to speak, very little. Yi San said.

"If the passage of time is proportional to the distance between the time and space gates, then what we are experiencing now is for the outside, maybe we have just lost contact, or maybe we have been missing for two or three months?" Ahn Hee-hyun whispered in surprise.

"Yes, in either case, the situation is not optimistic." Yi San said.

They all sat together almost in a group, and no amount of whispered communication could completely hide from them. Not to mention when their nerves are tense and extremely sensitive.

"That's the devil, that's hell, God has forsaken his subjects, Satan is coming, floods, floods, disasters, calamities, we're going to stay away from there." John was completely defeated, and hysterically stood up and fled in the opposite direction of the gray-white cloud.

"John." Yi San and Ahn Hee Hyun called nervously.

Sato also reached out to grab John, but he didn't. John shouted and disappeared into the darkness.

"Bang." Yi San: They heard a loud sound. John's voice was cut off.

"John." The crowd shouted nervously.

Listening to the sound, it should be John who tripped and fell in the snowdrift during the run.

"The great Lord, is our sin, and we should not indulge in it, nor should we allow lust and greed to grow. But we are also your people, and we are repenting......" The crowd then heard John's voice, but it grew farther and farther away.

"John, don't go, stand still!" Yi San shouted.

It's just that the voice is getting farther and farther away, and Yi San knows that he can't chase it, and when everyone disperses, the danger will be even more.

Everyone was speechless, and all kinds of emotions were mixed in everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.

At this moment, not far from them, in the direction of John's escape, a "click" broke the silence.
