Chapter 17 Time Limit, Cool Down

"Changes in temperature. Dark Water said to everyone: "At this moment, it has begun. As he spoke, he took out a thermometer from his backpack, in fact, Dark Water doesn't need to look at this to know the temperature, but it still has to be pretended: "Now it's twenty-four degrees Celsius, if my observation is correct, the temperature is continuing to drop, slowly, but it is happening." ”

The gunsmith next to him continued: "By the way, we have lost our 'senses' now, and even if this place freezes like an ice cellar, we won't feel cold." ”

"What do you mean, what do you mean by 'loss of feeling'?" the knights asked.

"A bunch of sluggish guys. The advisor said: "What he means is that although the five senses in the general sense are still alive, they have deviated. You can feel the hunger, fatigue, and even excretion and mental insecurity. ”

After everyone heard this, their expressions soon changed sharply.

The advisor continued: "To put it more simply, the alert mechanism that our brains use to 'protect themselves' has been deactivated. If you don't blink for a long time, you won't feel sore, you won't feel uncomfortable holding your breath for a long time, you will have less pain when you are injured, and you won't be nervous or panicked when you encounter a very critical situation. ”

"Doesn't that sound like it's more advantageous?" asked one of them.

"Hmph......" The advisor sneered, and just as he was about to start a full-level taunt, Vanessa explained before he could speak, "No, it's very dangerous. The brain uses pain, fear, discomfort to remind us of the threat to our body. If this feeling is lost, one can easily step into death without knowing it. ”

The consultant was interjected by her, and missed the best opportunity to taunt, so he had to give up, and continued in an impatient tone: "In other words, you can hold your breath for more than five minutes, and it is still not uncomfortable at all, but your body will die of lack of oxygen as usual, and you can also eat dozens of kilograms of food without bloating and discomfort, but it will not affect the occurrence of gastric perforation." He held out two fingers: "In addition, let me remind you that the death threats we are facing now are roughly the following two, both of which are related to time.

First of all, our biological clock has lost its function, and our watches and electronic devices have stopped functioning......"

As the advisor spoke, many of them took their communication devices out of their backpacks and pockets, or looked down at their watches, and were surprised to find that all the tools that could keep time seemed to have stopped in the aisle.

“...... In this ruin, the passage of time cannot be calculated with instruments. When we lose our hunger pangs and do not know the time, we may starve to death or die of thirst without even knowing it because we do not eat or drink for a long time. The advisor said as he took off his breathing mask: "This one can be removed, as far as I know, the air quality inside this ruin is better than anywhere else in the world, so don't worry about it." ”

It is estimated that it was influenced by the consultant's words, and some people went to drink water as soon as they took off their masks.

"I would also like to remind you that because there is no urgency to excrete, it is possible to become incontinent over time. The advisor maliciously added, and the drinker squirted water out of his mouth at that time.

The gunsmith showed a thoughtful expression next to him, and said to himself, "Sure enough...... It was so dangerous......

"Of course, I think it's unlikely that we'll be in the ruins that long, because the cold has killed us long before that. The advisor smiled as if he had succeeded in his scheme, in exchange for all kinds of hateful glances, "So, another threat is naturally that the temperature has dropped, and it is summer, and everyone is dressed very thinly when they come down." And we don't feel the cold, and once the temperature drops below freezing, someone may die of hypothermia without realizing it. ”

Sueside then said, "We can go back and get the equipment to protect us from the cold, and then turn back again." ”

The advisor said: "Don't you understand, I said it clearly enough, the key is 'time'." Team Leader John also told us that the temperature is slowly decreasing every second. Who knows what the low temperature limit of this ruin is, minus 40 degrees? minus 200 degrees? Now that the team is turning back, where will the temperature drop in the time it takes to add cold equipment and come down?

We're still in the temperature zone where humans can live, and the period between 24 degrees Celsius and minus 20 degrees Celsius is the only time there is to explore the ruins, and if the temperature continues to drop, to near absolute zero, then it will be useless for you to send robots down.

We have no choice but to move forward and try to find the treasure quickly before we freeze to death, and bring back the important and able parts. There's only one chance, and it's likely to fail and die here, so if anyone doesn't want to get involved, I'd suggest going back now, just in time to report back to your superiors. ”

After saying this, the advisor took a few steps away: "Ladies of the Iron Commandment, you can discuss it, I will avoid it on the side, and I will call you in five minutes, and by the way, you can calculate the rate of temperature reduction." ”

Vanessa glanced at him, "The watch is out of order, how do you know it's been five minutes?"

The advisor tapped his temple with his finger: "Human timer, I count the seconds very accurately, and the error will not exceed two seconds every twenty-four hours." He laughs, "Actually, I started counting before I entered the passage, so I think I'm the only living clock here that knows the time." With that, he turned and walked towards the dark waters.

The twelve men of the Iron Ring didn't have to discuss it for five minutes, and they, or her, made a decision quickly.

Seeing that the ten knights had all come to the rope and climbed back to it one by one, the advisor walked up to Venisha and asked, "What's the matter? Don't you have to explain to the other high-ranking members of your organization?"

"I'll just let these ten people go up and explain it. Vanessa replied.

"Hmm...... Outside, there is no need for military orders......" the advisor read.

"I have average Chinese, don't talk about literary language. Vanessa then asked, "So...... Now that there are only five people left, you can ask your team leader to speed up the pace of action, I don't want to freeze to death here. ”

After all the knights had gone up, the advisor said to Dark Water, "Temperature?"

“22.6。 Darkwater replied.

"Oh......" the advisor thought for two seconds and said, "It will drop to zero in about two hours, and if we haven't found the treasure yet, it's time to give up and evacuate." ”

Darkwater then said, "It's going to teleport." ”

At this point, Vanessa and Sueside still didn't know most of the situation about the ruins, and they were a little overwhelmed when they heard this. They saw that the explorer John pressed his hand on a handprint symbol on the ground, and the whole room was engulfed in cyan light......
