Chapter 14 To save yourself, let go of a hot air balloon

"Mr. Captain, can the radio get a signal?" shouted one of the survivors from the crowd as food was being distributed in the morning.

"I haven't received a reply yet. The captain replied. "But there is no problem with the machine, I believe, it will only be a matter of time. ”

"Sir, why don't we have so many superpowers take the initiative to release some signals to the outside world, such as hydrogen balloons. "The man from the country of sticks, said in English.

"This suggestion is very good, we have also considered, originally planned to implement it today, before because of the lack of manpower, insufficient materials, after so many days of familiarity with each other's capabilities, we have a preliminary idea, wait for the end of breakfast, I hope you can cooperate, and I hope you put forward more suggestions." The captain spoke, transferring the initiative to his own.

"Can we go back? Ma Xiaoyang listened to them discuss how to pass on the news to the outside world, and his heart was confused, and asked Cheng Zijin, Cheng Zijin did not answer, and Zhu Jiayi took over the conversation.

"Can you go back, will the days be over? It's always good to think of a way. ”

"The heart is really big, and it is really broad-minded. Ma Xiaoyang said subconsciously.

"En?" Cheng Zijin heard Ma Xiaoyang's nonsense, and immediately turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm still very curious about this balloon, I don't know if there is hunting today, whether there is or not, I won't go. Ma Xiaoyang quickly diverted the topic and said.

"I got so much yesterday, and I don't think I will go today, so everyone should be very concerned about whether they can go out. Zhu Jiayi said.

Ma Xiaoyang raised his head and looked out from the entrance of the cave, it was a beautiful day to release balloons.

"I hope I can succeed this time. Ma Xiaoyang muttered.

After breakfast, the captain still organized everyone to go hunting, but some of them were picked out by the captain alone, and some of the people who were not picked took the initiative to go hunting, I don't know what kind of mentality, and some asked to see the balloon liftoff. Among them, those who were asked to stay were Cheng Zijin.

Under Ma Xiaoyang's curious gaze, the captain first organized everyone to take off a lot of blankets from the plane, including some chair covers or something.

Then cut out a more regular shape.

At the request, Cheng Zijin transformed the table knife into a long needle and sewed up these materials according to the drawings that already existed.

Sure enough, Cheng Zijin was right to be left behind, only to see the black needle, like lightning, with a bang, a large piece was sewn, and the sewing thread was pulled out by Hermilia from another blanket with her mental power, one by one, this kind of work, especially special test of ability control, light and heavy, the thread was pulled out, and tied together in twos.

Cheng Zijin's ability seems to have changed, he could only control the dinner knife before, but now the dinner knife has become pitch black, and Cheng Zijin can actually control it to change various shapes, which undoubtedly enhances the value of Cheng Zijin even more.

Others were not idle, the captain organized a group of people, first wrote the information of this plane on paper, and then wrote out the passage, except for the superpower, basically everything, before and after was translated into four languages, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, it is really a loss of all kinds of people on the plane, and then find the right container, there are empty bottles, suitcases, lunch boxes, stuffed the written paper into these containers and sealed it, everyone thinks, as long as the balloon can fly out, no matter which container is picked up, you can find here。 However, since I couldn't use radar, navigation, etc., I didn't know the detailed latitude and longitude here, so after discussion, I wrote the date on a piece of paper first, and asked the person who found it to look for it in this area according to the date of the discovery and the ocean currents at the time.

While doing these work, Ma Xiaoyang has been thinking about a question, this method, why didn't I think of it earlier, the matter of putting drifting bottles, it doesn't matter if you use balloons or not, you write it and throw it in the sea, the sea can naturally take away your sorrow, with this question, I discussed it with Zhu Jiayi for a while.

Zhu Jiayi didn't go hunting today, in fact, Ma Xiaoyang didn't know how much experience he had with the people who could still insist on hunting today, and he was involved in this kind of escape.

After Zhu Jiayi's analysis, this answer is very reasonable and unexpected, because, from the plane crash to the present, there is no time to do this, and everyone is tied up by various things every day, and it has not been implemented until now.

Then the problem came again, Ma Xiaoyang felt that his logical reasoning ability at this moment was simply max, and directly asked why he wanted to get a balloon and not just put the drifting bottle.

It just so happened that this question was heard by the captain who passed by, and under Zhu Jiayi's translation, the captain began to explain very seriously.

"Dear brothers and sisters, releasing the balloon today, in addition to going out with the drifting bottle, this is also an attempt, if the balloon is successful, then theoretically, you can make a balloon that is enough to take everyone together. ”

"But Mr. Captain, in that case, why bother to build any balloons, let's build a boat, maybe at this moment, it will all be off the line. I don't know where the voice came from in the crowd, it was English, Ma Xiaoyang copied Zhu Jiayi's translation, and the people who were working also stopped what they were doing, indeed, everyone also wanted to know this question.

"That's a great question, thank you for bringing it up. Captain Gabriel smiled and swept around, and his snow-white hair actually had a strange sense of flowing at this moment, which couldn't help but increase everyone's credibility. "Our main purpose now is to save ourselves, the first thing is to be able to get out, the boat is indeed the first choice in our common sense cognition, but when Mr. Marquis and I discussed how to save ourselves at the beginning, we had cognitive discussions and solicited the opinions of many people, but found that we ordinary modern people, almost do not know how to build a ship, and even what a keel is, but hot air balloons have been seen, at least the principle knows, at first we did not consider this plan, but yesterday after your superpowers were counted, we discussed, according to the combination of existing superpowers, can meet the standard of making hot air balloons, so this will be experimented。 ”

Gabriel explained it very clearly, and everyone was generally satisfied with this explanation, of course, very few people always had their own opinions, but once the vast majority of people agreed, they naturally ignored their existence.

In fact, Ma Xiaoyang has understood, Wang Qi, a gossip girl, likes to inquire about news everywhere, and heard her say that Bieber wants to fly out of the island first in the past few days to see if he can find other people's ideas and attempts, but one is his ability, he is exhausted after flying for half an hour, and he can't fly, and the other is that the speed of the flight is really slow and gratifying, not to mention that this speed has flown over the empty sea as far as Ma Xiaoyang's eyes can see, that is, the entire island, from this end to that end, it takes nearly ten hours, and I wanted to tell everyone quietly after the success of the attempt, but I was forced to dispel this idea。

After listening to the explanation here, everyone refocused on making balloons, and after a balloon with a diameter of three meters was ready, basically more than 100 surviving people, except for those who went hunting, began to set off for the beach in twos and threes.

Today's weather is very good, the sea breeze is very small, the waves are gently lapping the beach, the sun is shining brightly, and after arriving at the beach, Yuvia was invited out, the captain first asked Hermilia to levitate the balloon in the air, open the mouth, and then let Yuvia use the ability under the mouth, her ability is to separate a single item in the mixture, for example, a rock, which is composed of many different substances, iron, calcium, etc., her ability, can be within the range, these things can be broken down separately, of course, her ability can only decompose these things, but the final product, or mixed together, needs someone to extract。

But this is also the case, in the current state, does not exist, seawater, there are a lot of various minerals in it, but most of it is water, and there is no need for Yuvia to do anything in particular, just put the ability out under the balloon, and in an instant, the water surface seems to be boiled, and the sea water gurgles out a lot of bubbles, and a circle of white turbidity also appears quickly, but it is quickly diluted by the seawater that swells around, at this time, a middle-aged man named Leo appeared, and the void pointed to the balloon.

Others may not be able to see it, but Ma Xiaoyang saw it very clearly, it was originally just a blanket, linen and other materials, but when he pointed at it, a faint, almost invisible film appeared on it, and the balloon began to slowly feel full.

"Who is that person?" Ma Xiaoyang asked Cheng Zijin, pointing at Leo.

"Leo, Frenchman, has the ability to coat a film that is waterproof, fireproof, and air-insulating, has a two-hour validity period, after which it gradually dissipates. Cheng Zijin thought about it and spoke.

"It's so powerful, isn't it true that you will be able to coat yourself with a film, and you will basically be invulnerable?" Ma Xiaoyang thought for a moment.

"Then he himself will not be suffocated to death, can you open your brain a little more appropriately. Zhu Jiayi smiled.

Ma Xiaoyang heard it, hey, it's really like this, okay, spread your hands, let this brain hole go.

Leo was very fast, just a few finger clicks, it seemed that the coating was completed, but after this action, it can be seen that Leo was sweaty and very tired.

Next, a mixed-race girl appeared and stood in the clearing, and the wind began to blow on the flat ground, and the balloon began to bulge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this again?" Ma Xiaoyang asked confusedly.

"Leona, airflow control, I guess it's sending the decomposed hydrogen into the balloon. Cheng Zijin explained.

"Isn't hydrogen light, isn't it slowly filling up with balloons, why do you want to send it?" Ma Xiaoyang continued to ask with an idiot face.

"The coating is only two hours. Cheng Zijin smiled and looked at Ma Xiaoyang amiably, his eyes full of love for mentally handicapped children.

Ma Xiaoyang couldn't stand this color, and was about to go back to the past, as soon as he turned around, the balloon was full, Cheng Zijin also retracted his eyes with Ma Xiaoyang, and quickly stepped forward, the black needle flashed again, and sewed the balloon with the separated thread ball, and after completion, Leo also successfully coated the underneath, and then Leona waved her hands, and the wind rose, blowing the balloon and flying forward.

The higher you fly, the farther you go, the smaller you look.

The shape of the balloon is very strange, and there are many strange things hanging on it like an octopus monster, which can be heard from a distance, and it makes a crackling sound while flying.

People watched the balloon fly away, and there was a sense of expectation in their eyes, hoping that the balloon could succeed, drift into the distance along the sea breeze, and bring rescue people.

"I'll wipe, I'll wipe, I'll wipe!" Ma Xiaoyang suddenly shouted, and the captain and Margis came over with a group of people with gloomy faces.

"Mr. Ma Xiaoyang, what do you see?"

"I saw that when the balloon flew to that position, it seemed to hit a cover, and then a rainbow flashed, and then it exploded, and everything on it, exploded in our direction, and look, the bottle or something, was still floating next to the cover. Ma Xiaoyang made it clear what he saw.

When Cheng Zijin finished translating, various voices erupted in the crowd.

Crying, scolding, sobbing, sighing, and many people wanted to gather around to ask Ma Xiaoyang clearly, but they were blocked by the people led by the captain.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Ma Xiaoyang? Marqués continued.

"No, the main thing is that the distance is too far, and it doesn't look very clear in a flash, I think, why don't you let Bieber take me closer to see?" Ma Xiaoyang said.

"Mr. Bieber, do you agree? Malgés asked.

"Why not, what could be worse than now?" Bieber began.

The captain organized people to stabilize the mood at the scene first, and in the worried eyes of Cheng Zijin, Zhu Jiayi and others, Bieber hugged Ma Xiaoyang and rose into the air.

This is the first time Bieber wants to fly so hard, Ma Xiaoyang is also worried in his heart, he doesn't know what that cover is, whether it is dangerous, but there is a voice in his heart that inexplicably said, just take it presumptuously, break the jar and break it.

Going up more and more, Bieber's speed began to slow down more and more, and finally stagnated in the air, unable to go any further, this height was already very high, even a long distance above the peak, and beyond the peak, you could see a vast ocean on the opposite side.

The wind in the air was very strong, and the two of them shook from side to side, at this time, Ma Xiaoyang took out a stone brought up in his arms, threw it into the air with all his strength, and then the stone went up more than ten meters and hit a transparent cover.

Ma Xiaoyang used all his strength to stare at the stone, the stone touched the transparent cover, and the place where it met was first dented a little, and then a colorful light appeared from the place where it met, a firelight appeared, and then, the stone was blown into a piece of fly ash and disappeared.

Ma Xiaoyang saw it clearly, and then motioned for Bieber to go down.

"Colorful light?" all those who heard it fell into deep thought. "The higher you go, the more you can't fly?"

"I think so, could this be an energy cover, when there is an external force collision, it will rebound, or even counterattack, and it is surrounded by energy fields, our superpowers, it can't work around it, otherwise, tomorrow we will make a boat, and then slowly approach the cover, study it closely, maybe, this cover, is also the reason why the signal cannot be transmitted. Mulgés said Leo. "The surrounding sea is moving, the air around us, the wind, the rain are all natural, that means that the hood is not isolated from everything, find the direction, we should be able to go out. ”

"I think so, by now, we should have to figure out what this hood is. The captain said.

"Okay, let's go back today, at least, we have gains, we encounter problems, we solve them, is the way forward, everyone must not be discouraged. "Marquez's speech did not awaken everyone's enthusiasm.

In the hopes and disappointments again and again, people seem to have lost the little fighting spirit left, and they are all haggard, together with Zhu Jiayi and even Cheng Zijin, their eyes wander, I don't know what they are thinking, as for the end, how everyone went back, how to eat dinner, Ma Xiaoyang seemed to have a plausible feeling.

In a trance, as soon as his eyes were closed, he fell asleep.
