Chapter 12: Halfway
"Magic Energy Photochemistry Mass Spectrometer, what is that?" Hearing Jiang Heng say a word he had never heard before, Pubulin lost his mind for a while.
"Magic Energy Actinic Mass Spectrometry, it's ......" Jiang Heng just wanted to explain, but suddenly thought of something, touched the back of his head, and said to Pubulin, "Patriarch Publing, its structure and principle are a bit complicated, do you want me to say it all directly, or just say the function?"
Pu Bulin laughed and stroked his beard, "Don't worry, Your Excellency Jiang Heng." I went to study with you Terrans when I was young, and I can't say how professional it is, but at least I still understand some common sense things. ”
"That's good. Jiang Heng nodded, "Then I'll start explaining." ”
"The Magic Photochemistry Mass Spectrometry was invented about 30 years ago by a scientist from the Talai family. When he was studying the nature of the magic source, he accidentally found that in the world we live in, all objects can carry the magic source, but according to the different types, volumes, mass, and physical and chemical properties of the objects, basically all objects are unique in combination with different amounts of magic sources. ”
Listening to Jiang Heng's words, Pu Bulin nodded thoughtfully and agreed, "This is the same as the unique characteristics of each person's demon source fluctuations. ”
"That's right," Jiang Heng picked up the Mithril Piece in his hand, "The principle of the Magic Energy Actinic Mass Spectrometer has a lot to do with this Mithril Piece in my hand. ”
"The Magic Actinic Mass Spectrometer is the size of a horse-drawn cart and has many structures, such as inlets, energy sources, display screens, and residue discharge ports. ”
So far, what Jiang Heng said, Pu Bulin can barely understand. However, next......
"The mass spectrometer has a powerful energy source core, which can make the experimental sample be decomposed and ionized by the magic source under high vacuum conditions, and become the original molecule. After dissociation, the primordial molecule is further fragmented into a variety of fragment ions and neutral particles of smaller masses due to excessive energy, and they obtain the average kinetic energy with the same energy under the action of the accelerated magic field and enter the mass analyzer, the mass analyzer will enter the ions of different masses at the same time, and separate them according to the proportion of mass energy, and the separated ions enter the ion detector in turn, collect and amplify the ion signal, and process it by the photochemical machine to draw a mass spectrum......"
Jiang Heng talked endlessly, and Pu Bulin listened to the whirlwind.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Pu Bulin hurriedly stroked his somewhat swollen head with his left hand, and waved his right hand to make Jiang Heng stop.
Are you old, or can't keep up with the times, or is the human race developing too fast?
Pubulin, who felt that his brain circuits were about to be scorched, shook his head and said to Jiang Heng, "Your Excellency Jiang Heng, you should tell me directly what this instrument does." ”
Jiang Heng poured a mouthful of clear spring water, moistened his somewhat thirsty throat, and exhaled, "Okay, Patriarch Pubulin." ”
Alas, this knowledge has not been reviewed for too long, and it feels a little rusty.
"To put it simply, the most direct application of the Magic Actinic Mass Spectrometer is to detect the composition of an experimental object, or to determine what an unknown item is. ”
"Also, it has a very important role that is not usually used. Speaking of this, Jiang Heng paused.
Publing felt intrigued, "That's?"
"As I mentioned earlier, in our world, all objects are capable of carrying magic sources, and the Mollenism Mass Spectrometer can only detect objects that carry rounding. ”
Jiang Heng accepted the Mithril piece in his hand and looked up at the sky, as if looking for a shadow beyond the white clouds.
"If it is an object outside of our world, incompatible with our demon system, then it will not react to this object in any way. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Heng retracted his gaze and stared at Pubulin, "For example, the star core outside the sky, meteorite. ”
"That is, it can be used to detect all objects in our world, and it can also be used to determine whether they are objects outside the world." ”
"That's right. Jiang Heng nodded, "The meteorite outside the sky is rich in metallic substances, and when it is affected by our world, it will take the initiative to approach our world, and after experiencing the tempering of the unbounded layer, a huge meteorite throws away excess impurities, and eventually becomes a small piece of meteorite, we think it is the core of the meteorite, so it is called the star core." ”
"Meteorite is outside of our Demon Source System and will not accept any Demon Sources, so it has the characteristics of absolute demons, and from this point of view, it is completely opposite to the Mithril Tablet in my hand. ”
Jiang Heng said, throwing the Mithril piece in his hand.
"I didn't expect His Excellency Jiang Heng to look so young, but he was so knowledgeable. Publin said heartily.
"Where, where, it's just that I usually read a few more books. Jiang Heng hurriedly shirked and maintained a humble posture.
"Alas, the young man Jiang Heng doesn't look a few years older than my granddaughter, but the gap between the two ......" Thinking of this, Pu Bulin couldn't help but look forward.
Lockty, who was walking in front of him eating dried purple fruits and chatting with Meisha, felt the gaze behind him, and turned around and smiled at Publin.
Well, it's all over the mouth.
Pubrin sighed in his heart, are all the children of the Terrans so capable? Is the gap between the Inhumans and the Terrans so big now?
"It's just ......" At this time, Jiang Heng's voice pulled Pu Bulin back from his deep thought, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"As I said, it's part of the Magic Actinic Mass Spectrometer. Jiang Heng pointed to the Mithril piece in his hand, "Mithril has super demon-guiding properties, so it should be the sensing part of the core energy source, and that part should be the strongest part, how can it be easily shattered?"
"Hear you say that, that's true. Publin agreed, "What's more, we don't know what happened in the canyon where this debris fell?"
Jiang Heng nodded tacitly, but there were still some words that he didn't say in his heart.
The Magic Energy Photochemistry Mass Spectrometer is very expensive, to what extent is it expensive? There is no market, except for the Talai family, which first invented it, no force can develop it. If other countries or families want to use it, they can only import it from the Talai family. Therefore, it is enough to see the value of this machine.
As far as Jiang Heng knew, only Biyan City in the vicinity had the ability to import this kind of machine. But why did its debris fall around the canyon? Could it be that Biyan City has been doing something lately?
If that's the case, then it's best not to let Pubrin, who is an Inhuman, know about this matter first.
Jiang Heng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Patriarch Pubulin, you just said that Jaime Han and Yuk were just the beginning, so what about the follow-up of this incident?"
"yes, I almost forgot. ”
Then, Pubrin began to talk about the follow-up.
——
On the third day after the bighorn deer fled into the Great Canyon of Eia.
The clouds in the sky were very thick and densely rolling, like a big stone pressing down on the heads of the trees and grass in the forest, and also weighing down the hearts of the green forest people at the entrance of the Grand Canyon of Ea.
At this time, there were about fifty or sixty green forest people standing here, all of them were not very good-looking, one of them was quite a young green forest girl and a green forest woman with a child next to her, they were hiding their faces and crying.
The people standing beside them didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only silently pray to the rangers in their hearts.
At the front of them all was Publin, whose face was gloomy, as gloomy as the coldest ice of the season. Even Locke, who has always been the most foolish, only dared to stand quietly next to him when he looked at his grandfather's face.
They waited in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but people began to walk out of the Eya Grand Canyon one after another.
"Patriarch, I'm sorry, we didn't find it. ”
Almost everyone who walked out answered in the same way, and after receiving Publin's tacit approval, they returned to the crowd and began to pray.
Each time one more person stood in the ranks, the gloomy atmosphere that permeated the crowd increased by one point, and the cry became more pathetic.
Silently counting the teams that came back in his mind, "There are only two teams left, I hope they can succeed." ”
At this moment, Publin could do nothing but pray with the rest of his clan.
Soon after, another group appeared in front of them, and there was no additional figure to be seen, and Pubrin was visibly disappointed. But—
"Patriarch, patriarch, we have made a discovery!" the young green forest man who led the team ran over excitedly.
Pubrin chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly walked in front of the young man, "How is it, have you found the two of them?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, but then said, "Patriarch, we haven't found the two of them yet. ”
Seeing that Pu Bulin's face immediately darkened, the young man hurriedly said, "But we found clues about the two of them. ”
Pu Bulin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Take me to see it." ”
After more than an hour of travel, Publin followed the rescue team to the place where they had found.
This place, very ordinary. The rocks are jagged, dark and cloudy, and like most other places in the Grand Canyon, they are blocked by the cliffs on either side, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate them.
All this is very ordinary, Pubulin was a little puzzled in his heart, the large rocks that can be seen everywhere, the wildflowers and weeds that survive in the cracks, the staggered area separated by light and shadow, and the smooth sandy surface like a mirror......
Wait! Publin noticed something, quickly squatted down, and dipped his hand on some dust on the ground, and when he looked closely, his expression became more and more solemn.
Seeing this, the young man also squatted down, "Patriarch, have you found anything?"
"Something is wrong, something is so wrong. Publin waved his hand, shook off the dust from his hands, and pointed to the ground at the young man, "Look at this ground, is there any difference from other places?"
The young team leader took a closer look, "Patriarch, this doesn't seem to be any different." ”
Pubrin stood up, "Didn't you notice that the dust here is evenly distributed, while the dust in other places is high and low?"
The young man looked at it more carefully, and a shocked look appeared on his face, "Patriarch, don't say it, it's true." But why is this happening?"
Waterfall Lin closed his eyes and raised his index finger and middle finger together, "This is the canyon, when the wind enters the canyon from the relatively open area to the canyon where the two mountains face each other, because the air cannot accumulate in the canyon, the wind will accelerate through the canyon, which is the reason why the canyon is very windy all year round." ”
He opened his eyes and pointed to the dust on the ground, "Because the wind in the canyon is very strong, and it is basically blown in by the forest on our side, the distribution of dust should be less entrance and more opposite. ”
"But it's evenly distributed, and it's windy, which means that," Publin didn't dare to think any further, "this place has been rearranged, and it won't be long." ”
"Patriarch, you're amazing. The young man looked at Publin with respect.
"What about your discovery? I don't think what you found was what I just found. Publing looked at the young man.
"By the way, I almost forgot. The young man patted his head and hurriedly walked between the two boulders, "Patriarch, look what this is." ”
Pubrin also looked over and saw a shining object, between the cracks in the stones. It's so small that you can't really see it if you don't look at it carefully.
With great difficulty, the young man carefully took it out and handed it to Publin's hand.
It has a diamond-shaped appearance, a metal object with some rust on the surface, and its tip is very worn-out to the touch.
"Is this ......," Publin was a little skeptical, "Jaimehan's arrow?"
"That's right, Patriarch, I think so too. A smug smile appeared on the young man's face, "I didn't move just now, please come to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, patriarch." ”
Publing felt for the arrow, which was hollow and its lower mouth was open to facilitate the direct insertion of the wooden pole. And when the young man took out the arrow, the arrow was pointing downward.
Publin stretched out his finger and touched it, "If it is in this kind of gap, the wind and sand are easy to blow into, but this arrow is not yet full, judging by the current wind speed and the size of this arrow, this arrow should have fallen here half a day ago." ”
Speaking of this, Publin began to mobilize the Demon Source, enhance his five senses, and began to carefully observe the area, and after a while, he stopped his movements and breathed a sigh of relief.
"There was no smell of blood in the air, and there was not the slightest trace of blood found on the ground, they should still be alive. ”
Ignoring the respectful gazes of others, Publin said, "I can't find any more clues here, let's go back first." ”
On the way back, the wind began to get stronger, and several people couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly, and with the news that they didn't know if it was good or bad, they returned to the entrance.
Eventually, the news that the two might still be alive made their families stop crying.
When Publin was about to beckon the people to go back first, he felt that something was missing, "No, Karl, haven't they come back yet?"
At this time, another Greenforest man accosted, "Patriarch, Carl has never returned. ”
A bad thought flashed through Publing's mind, "In which direction are they searching?"
"Patriarch, Karl and they were heading west. ”
Glancing at the sky, "Come on, come with me!" Publin immediately followed the trail on the ground and ran west.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Publin shouted as he looked at the blurred footprints on the ground.
Several young men followed, and one of them pointed to a corner in front of him and said, "Patriarch, Karl they searched there just now, but they didn't find anything, so they went deeper into the canyon." ”
"Damn, I should have warned them just now. It's just too late!"
However, things often don't go as planned.
After a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and as they were about to cross the corner in Publin, it rained heavily.
Swept away the last trace of the earth, Publin and they were confronted with a fork in the road in all directions.
