Chapter Seventy-Five: Production in the Bitter Cold
Chinese The collector began to tilt to the left, making Chad's position lower and lower, making Lesia's position much higher than that of him and Huomi. It seems that the collector is flying east. The collector was still drifting to the left, and it felt like it was coming in the direction it was coming and goingβthe north was flying.
A bright light came in through the window, and then through another window for a few moments, and after a few tens of seconds, it was the sound of "boom, boom...", which shook people's ears and hearts. The sound wave and the shock wave transmitted by the vibration of the air made the people on this collector feel that they were now completely surrounded by these strong waves, and their consciousness was also shaken for a while.
And soon after this "boom ... ...", an even stronger explosion sounded "boom". This time the shock wave could make them feel that the collector was blowing up, and they seemed to be in a state of weightlessness on the collector. Chad, Huomi, and Lesia were all scared, "Wow! He shouted.
After calming down, and thinking about the direction of the last sound, he looked behind the side of his window, and felt that there was a thick ribbon of black smoke in the air not high or far from their collector. The thick ribbon of smoke rapidly expanded and spread in all directions. In the part of this belt that extends to the ground, a fire ignites in its center, and a large cloud of black smoke and dust, which is hundreds of meters high, bulges into the shape of a round mound, and spreads out into the air on the ground, in the middle of which is a flying line drawn by a large mass of earth and stone.
Chad suddenly remembered the two ladies inside the machine. He saw that Le Siya was holding his chest with his right hand, and Huomi, who was also holding his abdomen with his hand. Cha grinned. He raised his right hand and made a light gesture to calm the two of them: "It's over, it's all over." It's okay. β
"Oh... .... Oops! Scared the hell out of me! My heart almost shook out. Lesia let out a long breath. Her face was behind the hood, so it was hard to see what her expression was.
The buzzer remembered the male voice in front of me: "I'm sorry to scare you!" It may be that the meteorite's trajectory changed somewhat after entering the atmosphere. So there's a gap between its actual trajectory and the calculations of our satellites and probes. In the end, this is the case. β
"Will this be the case in the future?" Chad asked.
"Yes! Because the meteorite itself is irregular, when it enters the atmosphere, it will cause some changes in its trajectory due to the different friction in the irregular places.
We don't want to say anything nice to comfort you and make you happy, because that's what happened. So, please be careful along the way.
In addition, we will adjust the flight route to be able to fly at a long distance from the meteorite's intended trajectory, so as to avoid any impact on your life due to changes in the meteorite's trajectory. β
"In that case. Does it take longer to reach the volcano? Chad asked.
"Hmmm! Yes. But it's your safe arrival that matters. β
"Hmmm! Thank you! Lang band. β
"No thanks! Take care. β
The sky was still gray and blue-white. The two suns were also more red and more vivid, and a wide red halo appeared around them.
Occasionally, a bright light flashed through the window, followed by a "boom", and finally a loud bang and the echo of a shock wave striking the air after the loud bang; Sometimes, a bright light and a "boom" followed, followed by a stronger light and a louder explosion, and the echo of a shock wave hitting the air.
Looking out the window on the ground, there is occasionally a piece of black earth and a forest burning on the land; Occasionally, there is only a patch of black earth clearly inlaid on the white ground. Nothing else.
The three of them already knew the pattern. As long as there is a strong light that shines on the person instantly, there will be a "boom" and explosion sound after that. Through the window, you will see which light and behind the light there is a black smoke. The black smoke was connected to the sky, the ground or vanished in mid-air.
Another light appeared. Chad stared from the window at a large mass in the sky that was glowing. He couldn't see the black smoke behind the big cloud of light. He stared intently at the large cloud of light coming towards the collector and magnifying its body, and he used his vision to determine that this meteorite was coming from the collector.
Chad nervously shouted, "Hey, hey, hey!" Another one is coming at us, coming. You, get out of the way. He said. He was still in his seat, surging upside down.
A calm voice in the buzzer: "You can rest assured! It's far away from you! β
The light of the meteorite during the call. Then the black smoke streaked over the collector and flew far away, and finally the meteorite hit the ground and exploded into a blooming flower of light.
Cha looked at Le Siya in embarrassment, she still looked out the window, her transparent mask reflecting the light, fire, and smoke that flashed after the meteorite exploded. Chade looked at Huomi again, and Huomi looked at him with a smile on his face. Cha raised his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly, and raised his hand to touch Huomi's face.
Collector, often turn to the left or right for a while. Originally, it would only take two or three hours for the collector to reach the vicinity of the volcano in a straight line, but it has been almost four hours since it reached the place.
The three of them didn't have much to say anymore, and the three of them were probably silently praying in their hearts, praying that the long journey would end sooner. So, between them, a longer time was spent in silence.
"Let's take a look at this place, right?" The buzzer comes out. Only then did the three of them realize that they had arrived at the place.
"Lang Dai, I don't think you should land first, but go around in the sky first, so that Huo Mi can distinguish it." Lesia suggested.
"Yes."
The volcano outside the collector's window was not high, just three or four hundred meters above the flat ground covered with snow in the distance. The cradter's irregular outer rim is its highest point, and after spreading some thickness outward, it suddenly steepens down to meet a large round mound. Black crater floor. There was a patch of red lava, on the surface of which was fairly calm. Occasionally, countless fiery red sparks will be spewed into the air above the mountain pass. The middle of this round mound and near the crater. What is shown is a large black layer of volcanic lava or soil. The closer the black color is to the crater, the more and more green smoke will come out of it. The black outer edge forms an irregular staggered edge with the accumulation of snow. The snow-covered area, not far from the large black patches, is dotted with black circles of irregular size and shape.
The collector lowered the height and allowed the fire rice to observe two places, and then landed at a place on the north side of the volcano that the fire rice was assumed.
Chad and Lesiya held on to the fire rice and walked towards a large circle dozens of meters away surrounded by white snow on all sides, revealing a layer of black soil and black sand grains. Approaching the circle, Rice leaned over and put her hand into the soil and sand. She shook her head in one place, and shook her head in another. After trying seven or eight times, I shook my head.
Seeing that Huomi still shook his head, Le Siya asked, "The temperature here is not good, is it?" β
Huomi nodded, pointing to the plot of land with larger black soil exposed: "Where to look!" β
Somewhere dozens of meters away, they stepped on strange rocks, and then the snow on their feet walked with difficulty.
This black plot of soil and sand is almost connected to the largest black. Not long after entering, Huomi tried out a place.
Huomi straightened up and said, "That's it! Here it is. Then she braved the bitter cold of almost forty degrees during the day and uncovered the sleeping bag that had been draped over her to Lesia. One glance at Cha De, and then at Le Siya: "You guys leave." I can do it alone. β
Le Siya hesitated with the sleeping bag: "On such a cold day, how can you do it without wearing a sleeping bag." So be it, I'm also a woman, so I'll stay. Let Chade go back. She turned to Chad and said, "Why don't you get out of here and stay on the collector." β
"But it's so cold..."
"Don't delay, it'll be dark soon. Hurry up! Lesia waited from inside the transparent shroud. Chad took two steps away and stared back at them.
Le Siya said to Huomi: "In this way, I will use my sleeping bag to block the cold for you." Do what you have to do, ah! β
Huomi hesitated.
Lesia shook her sleeping bag out. Close the two ends of the long side and surround the fire rice to form a cylindrical space that is not too closed. She nodded sincerely to Huomiβmeaning you get started.
Reluctantly returning to the collector, Chade entered the cabin. He looked through the window. Without blinking, he looked at Lesia in the distance and stood with a sleeping bag in a circle.
At first, what he saw was the place where the sleeping bag was close to the ground, and some sand was spilled out, and it didn't take long for there to be no other movement, and Lesia was still thinking about the sleeping bag.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, almost half an hour passed, and Le Siya was still worried about the sleeping bag like that.
"Hurry up!" Check the headset inside the helmet ringing.
Cha De didn't react yet: "Where to go?" β
"Here, Huomi is ready, you can help her back to the machine."
"Whew!" It was the first time that Chad had been wearing a heavy spacesuit and moving quickly in this gravity-sensitive place. His rapid exhalation blew a large white mist out of the transparent cover of his helmet.
I was able to find them together. Lesia had already wrapped the sleeping bag around Huomi's body again, and at the same time, Lesiya was still persuading Huomi.
"You can't stay here or you'll freeze to death."
"But I used to wait here all the time, waiting for my child to be born before I went back together!"
"That was before, mine, my friend, it wasn't that bad before."
"Why don't you give me the sleeping bag!"
After Chade came, he didn't know why the two of them were talking here, let alone why, so he couldn't interject and ask.
"That's not going to work! You said it would take a long time for the child to come out, and it was so cold for such a long time. Also, how do you survive? Have you not eaten during this time? β
"I used to look for something to eat around here."
"Look, do you still have something to eat here? They have long been covered with snow. According to my speculation, I am afraid that a lot of food has been frozen to death by this cold weather, this temperature of more than 50 degrees below zero. Do you still want to find something to eat? β
"What should I do?" Huomi said with a sad expression.
"Come back with us! You can rest assured. I had prepared a lot of methods before I came here. β
"Really?"
"Really!" Le Siya said: "We'll put you in the machine first, and you stay in it first." You'll take care of the rest. Do you hear that? β
Huomi hesitated, "Okay." All right! β
After Le Siya and Chad helped Huomi into the collector, they took out a bag from a pile of things in the collector cabin and handed it to Chad: "This is a tent. After closing the door of the collector, he said, "Go get another detector out." With that, he walked around to the other side of the machine and stood. She said to the microphone inside her helmet, "Lang Belt." You open the door of the detector, and I'm going to get a detector to use. β
After a slight electrical sound, a rectangular opening appeared in the middle of the collector's housing. Lesia poked inside, reaching out and pulling out a butterfly-shaped machine from inside.
"Let's go!" She greeted and checked, and walked ahead towards the place where the two of them had just been, that is, the place where the rice was produced.
When they arrived at the place, they found only their footprints on the ground and traces of a piece of sand that had been shaken.
Lesia pointed to the churned sand: "Open the tent and cover it." β
"Whew!" Chad took out a thicker tent that could fit almost three people from his bag, then put on a stand and propped it up. Then nail into the ground nails, pull on the ropes that are held in place, and finally, use stones to press the ground nails at the four corners.
Seeing that Chade had set up the tent, Le Siya opened the tent door and went inside, and soon after, he came out. The two stared at the tent for a moment.
Le Siya said, "That's it! Let's go back! β
Chade hesitated, and said to Le Siya, who wanted to leave: "Back?" Just went back like that? Where, which child? I didn't see it here, even if I was holding the fire rice on the machine just now, I didn't see her hugging? β
Lesia turned his head and said, "Under the sand!" Tired back, right? We'll know when the kids come out. Didn't I just put the probe in! β
"Sand? Under the sand? β
"Let's go! You'll know when you get back. Too lazy to tell you now. Lesia walked in the direction of the collector, and Cha had to follow.
The sky was getting dark. Another bright light appeared, its light was whiter than the snow, and one piece even emitted a crystal clear reflection light. Cha only looked down on the uneven road and thought about his thoughts. This light, as well as the continuous loud voices that appeared later, failed to "move" him to look and listen.
When the collector scurls back and forth back to the mouth of the Fire Tribe's cave. It was already dark.
When the three of them returned to the cave, Huomi lay down on the straw mat again.
Lesia asked Chad to take out his communicator. Then she worked on it for a while, and then sat down next to Huomi. She held up the communicator's screen to the herding rice.
"Come to Huomi, take a look. You can see it here. You can also tell when your child was born. β
Chade also leaned over to look at the screen. On the right side of the screen are virtual image buttons, and on the left is the image that occupies the largest area of the screen, showing a beam of light on the black ground and the two sides of the yellow tent fabric.
"That's it?" Huomi asked incredulously.
"Oh! It's not, it's a camera, it's used to see what's changing on the ground, and if there's any movement, you can see it on the ground. That's what you're going to look at now. β
After Lesia pressed an image button on the communicator's screen, the large image on the left was replaced by an image with a lot of red spots on it, and between these spots you could faintly see that there was something that was closed into an oval shape, and the red spots of this thing were the most coherent, taking up most of the area of the spots.
Le Siya pointed to the oval shape and said to Huomi, "Look at the shape, you should know what it is, right?" β
Huomi nodded.
"Your child will grow from small to big in this, and you can see it here and on this screen. So you're still waiting there with yourself? Le Siya smiled inside the helmet: "You don't need to, right?" β
She continued: "If you want to see what your child looks like here, you can just open it at any time and see it, how convenient it is!" Huomi nodded and stared at the screen stupidly.
Chade saw these on the side, and he thought which child Huomi gave birth to, how could it look like an egg? He wasn't sure, he wanted to ask Lesia to confirm but felt that it was inappropriate. He thought that it might be awkward or embarrassing for him to ask Lethya questions in such a surprised way, and that Emmy herself didn't approve of anyone seeing what she had done.
"We've noticed it on the ground and underground, and I've been helping you pay attention to it in the sea base, so you can rest assured!"
Huomi: "What if the tent is gone, what if the wind blows it away?" β
"Oh! No, Chad and I had our tents well fortified before we left. And you know, even if there's any movement in the tent, our detectors will give us an alarm? Le Siya got up: "Okay, it's too late, I should also go back to the base at sea to rest." She stroked the fire rice with her hand, and turned to leave: "Now you are much better looking and mentally better than you I saw when I first came." Goodbye, Thermo. Contact me if you have something, I'll be on the phone at any time. β
"Goodbye!" Huomi replied, "I should have sent you." She was ready to get up from the straw mat. Chade held her down and said that he would deliver it himself. Lesia also told her not to use it.
Between the first and second gates, Chad stopped Lesia.
"Sister-in-law, um...," Chade glanced down at the ground, then looked up at Lesia's face behind the hood. Her face was exhausted after a long day's work.
"I want to ask you, is it an egg that fires rice?" Chad asked.
"Didn't you see it?"
"I, I said how to do it so quickly, she said that she was going to have a baby only a few months after she had it. Where, where will my child be born in that egg? β
"Chad, um...," Le Siya cleared her throat behind the hood, "I'm going to tell you right now, you have to be mentally prepared, and prepare how to persuade Huomi in the future." β
Cha had a puzzled face: "Persuade, persuade Huomi?" β
"Let me tell you this, I think there are probably no children in this egg she laid at all, and there will be no children born at all."
"Why, wasn't he all born?"
"If you give birth, it doesn't necessarily prove that the egg must be pregnant, you know? Even if she was pregnant with this egg, the matter itself was a little strange.
My understanding is that she may have been stimulated by some kind of stress reaction, or she was not stimulated by any external stimulus, she really wanted to have a child of yours, and she stimulated herself to cause some chemical changes in her body to trigger a physiological reaction. β
"It's complicated, I don't understand."
"It's all about whether you understand it or not. I think that no matter how much she conceives, it will not be your turn to mix in it, even if you mix it up, it is useless. β
"You're saying I'm blind?"
"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm not saying that you can't do anything, it's not that you haven't worked hard, but the span of those behaviors between you and Huomi is too big, so big, how can I say it! It can be said that it is so big that it transcends some boundaries of the universe. Or rather, here, any creature on this planet is much more likely than you to actually impregnate her. β
"Huh! Hehe! We're all bigger than the universe!? Chade shook his shoulders and grinned: "You, don't you mean that I'm blind!?" (To be continued.) Cat flutter Chinese
