Chapter 1 Is This a Desert?
Ke Mingde stood on the roof of the car, put his hand on the pergola, looked around, there was yellow sand everywhere, there was no end in sight, the sky was blue, there was no trace of clouds, the sun was radiating its own heat unscrupulously, Ke Mingde could feel that the silver shell under his feet had been hot.
It's a desert, a world of pure yellow sand, with no green in sight, just rolling sand dunes and ripples left by the wind.
Ke Mingde jumped off the roof of the car, the sand drenched his heels, he wiped the sweat from his face, pulled the car door in, took off his coat, threw it on the co-pilot, took off his wool shirt again, touched it, it was already soaked with sweat, it took off its shoes and pants again, and left a gray vest and a pair of underwear on its body. Ke Mingde stepped out of the car again, put a few sweaty clothes on the hood, poured the sand from his shoes, and put them on the roof of the car.
Turned around and got into the carriage, lit the fire, hesitated, turned on the air conditioner, leaned on the seat, lay quietly for a while, and cursed in a low voice: "It's really death!"
Picked up the phone and looked at it, there was no signal, he put down the phone hatefully, clenched his fist on the steering wheel and smashed it, the pain in his hands could not relieve the anxiety and panic in his heart at all.
After a while, the sweat on my body had fallen, and I calmed down a little, and I went through the matter in my heart.
"I was on the highway just now, and now I'm in the desert. ”
"It was December, it was winter, and now it's more than 30 degrees outside. ”
"There was no signal from the cell phone, and neither was the car. ”
He gradually realized in his heart:
"I did cross over!"
Ke Mingde reached out and turned off the air conditioner and turned off the fire.
"I'm in the desert right now, and I'm going to have to pay attention to saving energy. ”
"At present, this place has gravity, you can see the sun, the air and temperature are also suitable for human life, no different from the earth, it may have crossed into a desert on the earth, a desert that is not covered by human communication networks. ”
"It may also be that you have arrived in another world, where the air, temperature, and light are suitable for human survival, but I don't know how big the desert is. ”
"The priority now is to stay alive and get out of the desert. ”
"But the most important thing is the golden finger!"
Ke Mingde opened his eyes and looked ahead, empty. His eyes were glazed, but in his sight, a list appeared.
The list is divided into two columns, the left column has many headings from top to bottom, and for the sake of space, here are just a few examples of them:
Yellow Gold (5/kg)
Silver (4/kg)
Platinum (4/kg)
......
HUAWEI mobile phone (0.1/set)
Electric shaver (0.1/set)
BMW X7 (296/unit)
The column on the right is the work log, which is also displayed one by one, sorted by date from top to bottom:
March 19, 2010
Printing 66 grams of gold, consuming 0.1 energy.
Printed diamond 729 grams (3645 carats), energy consumed 0.1.
Printed diamond 729 grams (3645 carats), energy consumed 0.1.
Printed diamond 73 grams (365 carats), energy consumption 0.01.
March 20, 2010
Scan the thermos cup, consume 0 energy
Scan the phone, consume 0 energy
Scan residential buildings, consume energy1
......
December 21, 2017
Discover unstable spatial passages, stabilize spatial passages, build portals, and consume energy 1796
......
At the head of the meter, a few words are written in bright red: "Energy: 0.1"
Looking at the last line of the work log, Ke Mingde's heart was mixed, some excited, some regret and fear. Perhaps it was a fateful choice, which just consumed all the energy he had accumulated in seven years.
"The super printer found an unstable spatial passage, and under my command, built a portal, I should have passed through the portal to come to this desert, but where is the portal, there is a desert all around, except for me and the car, there is nothing. ”
"Printer, check what's around. With a thought, he gave instructions to the super printer.
"Found 1 car, 4 clothing, 1 mobile phone, 1 earphone, 6 mineral water (bottled), 1 thermos water bottle, 1 car cloth, 1 lube (bottle), 3 cushions, 1 flashlight, 1 potato chip (bucket)...... Space Portal 1"
"Good!" he nodded, opening the details of the spatial portal.
"Space Portal (Bidirectional)"
"Direction: Beijing Section of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway - Unknown Location (Desert Terrain)"
"Energy required to start 600"
Ke Mingde frowned, thinking in his heart:
"I can get one energy point every day, in the desert, there is no way to get resources, food, water, medicine all need super printer printing, according to eating 1 kilogram of food a day, drinking 1 kilogram of water, it takes about 0.5 energy per day, 0.1 is needed to leave errors and accidents, 0.4 energy can be saved every day, and it takes ...... to save 600 energy points 1500 days, that's more than 4 years!"
"Alone, in a desert, living alone for four years, even if there is food and drink, it is very difficult, and you also need medical treatment, communication, entertainment, etc., after all, people are social creatures, and if you stay alone for four years, I'm afraid I will go crazy!"
"I need to get out of here. Komingde thought back to everything he had done about walking through the desert. "Sanmao has been to the Sahara Desert, has she ever crossed it? I don't remember; when I was a child, I read a comic book about desert exploration; the Sahara Desert is the largest desert on earth, how big is it......? Oh, when was it last year, it was on the news that a man hiked through the Sahara Desert and it took a month or two months......"
Ke Mingde felt a little excited, an ordinary person can cross the largest desert on earth, and he, with a super printer, has no worries about supplies, and has a car.
"Maybe I'll be out of the desert tomorrow," he reassured himself, "as long as I can find a signal." ”
"As long as this is the Earth!"
Ke Mingde gave himself a boost, opened the car door, and a heat wave rushed in, the temperature was probably almost forty degrees, and when he looked up, the sun had risen to its highest, and it was noon, and he looked down at his watch at four o'clock in the afternoon, Thursday, December 21, 2017. This is a Vacheron Constantin, which can also display the date, which was given to him by the prince after he sold a 73-gram diamond to the Saudi prince, worth more than 200,000 yuan, and it is also the most valuable in his outfit.
Maybe it's the time difference, I used to remember how to calculate the jet lag when I was studying, but I have already returned it to the teacher.
The car was hot and the clothes were dry, Ke Mingde put away the clothes, rummaged through the whole car again, found everything he could use, sat back in the driver's seat, lit the fire, and turned on the air conditioner.
The clothes are all placed in the passenger seat, the food is placed in the back seat, other miscellaneous things are thrown into the locker, a thermos bottle is placed on the water cup holder, and there is a large cup of oolong tea in it, and a field flashlight is placed on the dashboard, and there is a compass at the bottom of it.
"I remember that the Sahara Desert was a long strip on the map in an east-west direction, and it went north-south to be safe, and the climate changed with latitude, well...... Let's go south!"
Determined, Ke Mingde started the car and drove due south.
