Chapter 8: The Eve of Departure (I)

"Because the picnic area is huge, and there are so many things in it that we can't understand." Luo Rong led the three of them to his room, and pointed to the three small squares on the table, with thick lenses inlaid at the ends, "So the speed of human exploration is very slow." ”

"But there's more to this slime from space than just liquid." Luo Rong left aside Bing Shijue, who was quickly flipping through the books, Zeng Xing, who was reading carefully page by page, and Sun Shifang, who was illiterate. After a slight sigh, he slightly modified the wording, "There will be something useful in it." These are the things that make our lives better. ”

"So the same is true of these glasses on the table?" Bing Shijue finished flipping through the booklet and asked.

"Yes, you can give it a try." Luo Rong nodded, "You can teach Zeng Xing them later." ”

Bing Shijue reached out and picked up the small square on the table. The feeling of lightness made him raise his arms too high all of a sudden. This surprised him a little, as if in reality, when a person picks up a stone, he finds that it is only as soft as a feather.

"This is the product of research with the latest technology." Luo Rong explained, "Put it on and try it." ”

"Is it okay to put it in front of your eyes?" This time, Bing Shijue carefully placed the small square in front of his eyes.

Immediately, a crisp click was heard, and the strap that stretched out from nowhere extended to the back of his head, allowing the small square to be fixed in front of his eyes.

In the next second, cyan ripples flickered in sight.

The world that Bing Shijue could see changed rapidly.

The three people in front of him were not just three people, and when he focused on one person, rows of detailed data appeared next to them.

For example, height, weight, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and even health status.

Not only that, but also the pitch, loudness, timbre when speaking.

Turning his head slightly, Bing Shijue, who was staring at the wall, could still see the composition of the wall and the time when it was built.

It's just that these huge amounts of data still make Bing Shijue a little dizzy.

"How does it feel?" Luo Rong asked.

"I can see a lot of information, even if I am a little dizzy, I can also understand why Captain Luo asked me to wear this first." Bing Shijue closed his eyes, his hand gently held the small square, and the strap behind his head retracted, allowing him to see the world again.

It's just that now the world seems barren.

"Let's give it a try." Luo Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, Zeng Xing and Sun Shifang were lying on the table, their eyes closed vigorously, and their temples rubbed. The other hand was still clutching the small square he had just wore.

"For the next few days, you're going to try to live with these glasses. This is also something that will help you save your life in the picnic area. Luo Rong said, making three cups of tea and placing them on the table, "If the sight is green, it means that these things are already in our database." Just follow the instructions above. ”

"But what we're going to do is find the red area, or look for the red object, right?" Bing Shijue drank piping hot tea and smelled the fragrance of tea in the air, and he had recovered a lot.

"Yes, those are not available in our database. All you have to do is mark it. Luo Rong said, "If you mark an unfamiliar item, you will get 1 contribution point." This can be exchanged directly for real-life money. Or when the time comes, go and redeem what you want. For example, real estate, or jobs in certain companies. ”

"Is 1 point 5,000 RMB?" After hearing this number, Zeng Xing even breathed a little heavily.

"Five thousand yuan......" After Sun Shifang heard it, he also struggled to raise his head and looked at Luo Rong.

"Yes, but the marking is not that simple." "And now satellites can't be used at all, so they have to rely on people to do it manually." ”

"You just have to pick up these things and record the weight, the feelings, and even what the effect is, right?" Bing Shijue could still remember the instructions in the booklet.

"That's right, that's the simple mark. The information that needs to be recorded is in that pair of glasses. Just do it. Luo Rong nodded, "I don't expect you to bring it back." Of course, if you can bring it back, it will be 10 contribution points. ”

"10 o'clock ......" Zeng Xing quickly calculated in his mind that when he used to paint the wall at high altitude, his salary for seven days was more than 10,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his income for one month of high-intensity living in the altitude.

When Sun Shifang heard this number, he clenched his fists hard.

"But I want you to be calm." Luo Rong looked at the excited two and directly poured a basin of cold water, "If the things in the picnic area can be brought out so easily, then the mortality rate will not be so high, and the speed of exploration will not be so low." ”

"Like the weed incident?" Bing Shijue opened the pamphlet again and looked at the blood-drenched cases behind him.

"yes, that's something we never expected." Luo Rong felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this, "I found it in a city in the north." It was something that had just been explored in the picnic area and people found a plant that they had never seen before. It looks like an ordinary weed. It's just that when you reach out and touch it, the weeds disappear. ”

"Why is that?" Sun Shifang asked suspiciously.

"People didn't know about it at the time." Luo Rong explained, "At that time, the black tower had not been built, and there was no picnic area to divide. A number of simple research laboratories were built around the weeds. ”

"Soon it was suggested that if the equipment was not enough for field research, it would be better to take it to the city."

So, they thought about taking the grass with the surrounding dirt and taking it with them.

"Unexpectedly, when they were about to shovel the soil, the weed began to burn." When Luo Rong spoke, there was also a look of unrelieved on his face, "The ground began to crack, and a large number of cyan flames poured out from the ground, directly engulfing the research station outside, and burning into the city along with the wind. ”

"Can't you put out the fire?" Zeng Xing also turned to this page.

"No, when we water, the flame becomes grass and trees, and it begins to absorb water and becomes larger." Luo Rong smiled bitterly, "After the water is poured, it will continue to burn." ”

"It's completely contrary to common sense." Bing Shijue also lowered his head and began to ponder, "Did you completely blow it up with a bomb in the end?" ”

"No, it was a forest protection person who mentioned that fire could be used to fight fire." Luo Rong shook his head, "If you bomb it, everyone suspects that you might ...... Strange flames exploded and floated around the world. Then it really can't be burned. ”

"If the fire burns things out, then there is really nothing to burn." Sun Shifang can remember that when he was a child and his grandfather to prevent forest fires, he used this method.

"That's right, a fire was set so that the common yellow flame and the cyan flame burned against each other. Although at the cost of the loss of some buildings, the disaster was eventually extinguished. "However, according to satellite images, there are still such strange blades of grass in the ruins of the city in the northwest, which is why everyone has basically migrated to the southern coastal zone." ”

"But the weeds are an extreme case, aren't they?" Bing Shijue's hand tapped the booklet slightly, "Otherwise, the contribution points will not be worth only 5,000 yuan." ”

"That's right, most things aren't that powerful, and they're not as valuable when contaminated." "After exploring a small area and making sure that there is no danger here, we were asked to build an air isolation facility. For a short time, the pollution here is less severe. ”

"After that, people from the city will be able to come and start preparing to develop the place, to strengthen the isolation facilities, and to make it part of the future development of the city."

"I have a question." Bing Shijue frowned, "Even if the picnic area is vaccinated and wears the thickest protective clothing, can't it resist?" ”

"You can understand that it's some kind of penetrating radiation, and it's also entrained by air pollution." Luo Rong smiled bitterly, "A few decades ago, it was okay, ordinary people could barely live, and in 2014 and 15 years, they could still be blocked by wearing protective clothing." But now the picnic area has increased the concentration of pollution all over the world. ”

"So it's actually the equivalent of us vacating a place first, and then letting people go in and clean up?" Sun Shifang tried to make an analogy.

"Yes." Luo Rong snapped his fingers, "The safe area is 33 meters by 33 meters, and after it is determined that it is safe, we will bring a device that can purify the pollution here." The small tasks of one stage are completed, and you can return here to rest for half a month before setting off. ”

"It's not done?" Zeng Xing asked.

"That's also 5 days off and 2 days off." Luo Rong smiled, "We haven't completed the marking for a long time, which means that this place is definitely dangerous, and it is impossible for us to stay outside for a long time." ”

"But Captain Rowe." Bing Shijue finished reading the pamphlet again and frowned, "It's just that based on what you said, I don't think the mortality rate will be so high." Isn't it...... In the picnic area, will there be some wild beasts, or will the plants have become lethal? ”

As soon as these words came out, the relaxation on Zeng Xing and Sun Shifang's faces was also swept away, and both of them stared at Luo Rong.

“…… The reality is similar to what Bing Shijue said, but it is only a second-class threat. Luo Rong sighed, "The real threat is the people who have not been evacuated, but who have survived in the picnic area. ”
