Chapter 14: Spotlight
The magnifying glass is familiar to everyone. When the light is gathered in front of the sun, its heat can burn the ants. So, what would happen if, in the midst of this desolation, a huge convex lens was made to hang over the sky and focus on a dry dead grass?
That was Zhou Ming's first experiment, the first process of exploration that began after thinking that those laws were the Tao.
In terms of results, it was gratifying, because it was successful. Illuminated by the concentrated light of the huge lens, a cyan flame burned.
Zhou Ming quickly stepped on the ice flower across the lake and came to the giant tree. Then the body shrank again, and after turning into a meter tall, Zhou Ming quickly ran to the other side, came to a hole, and ran directly into it, and the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
In fact, the inside of this cave is not dark, on both sides of the passage, it is illuminated by a white jade lamp, and the reason why these cannot be seen outside is because the exit is shrouded by the divine pattern laid by Zhou Ming.
In the oval-shaped transparent lampshade beside the passage, a golden candle flame burned silently.
It was the No. 27 flame, which was produced when the rays of the gathered sun star burned a red stone, the temperature was not high, and it was easy to extinguish, but its stability was outstanding, and if given a safe environment, it would simply burn forever.
Anyway, among the white jade lamps made by Zhou Ming, except for those that were accidentally extinguished, none of them were extinguished naturally. So it was used by Zhou Ming as a lighting.
Of course, the lighting of these lamps is just decoration, and for Zhou Ming, this bit of darkness will not affect his eyesight at all.
Soon, Zhou Ming walked through the passage and came to a hall. A veritable large ~ hall. The hall is cylindrical, and on the huge curved wall is a large shelf built against the wall.
The large shelves are divided by a grid, and in each grid, there is a transparent jar. In the jar, there were all kinds of strange things that had been sealed, including leaves, dead branches, mud, and stones.....
They were numbered one by one and neatly arranged in this hall. But that's not the most striking thing, except for the big shelves on the edges, a school of small, glowing fish swim in the air as if in the water.
Zhou Ming's capital soon disturbed the fish, and the fish quickly dispersed, one by one away from Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming didn't stop and continued to rush forward, what he was anxious to confirm now was still inside.
After passing through six halls in a row, Zhou Ming stopped in the last hall. Unlike the previous one, this hall was filled with a strong light, and the things on the large shelves were only half full.
Looking up, you can see a large lens on the top of the hall, and then, countless rays of light are gathered into a single point, illuminating something suspended in the air in the middle of the hall.
It's no wonder why this is a cave, but there is still light. Because the lens on the top of the hall is actually just a carrier, the real lens has long been hung on the top of the tree by Zhou Ming, it is a huge lens made of crystal for more than ten kilometers, and the concentrating effect is very good.
"Still no. Zhou Ming looked at it and sighed. Suspended in the air and shining was a stone, a stone that had been burned over and over again by Zhou Ming with the No. 78 flame.
Flame No. 78 was formed after the No. 26 flame and the No. 7 flame burned together, and the properties found so far are white, low-temperature, and fueled by the essence of heaven and earth, except for the candle flame of No. 1, any other flame will be burned out.
But it can't last long, this flame, its burning properties are only one day, and after a day, no matter what, it will be extinguished.
Why is there only a candle flame as an exception? Is it because it is a mortal fire? Thinking like this, Zhou Ming found a stone. Flame No. 78 was put up, and immediately burst into flames, enveloping the entire stone.
But a day later, the fierce flame suddenly went out, and it was extremely abrupt.
It's all expected, though I don't know why.
Zhou Ming threw another cluster of No. 78 flames in his hand on the stone, and the flames burned again.
After more than two months of non-stop burning, Flame 78 no longer reacted to the stone, just like the flame of the candle of Flame 1.
So, after feeling that sleep was coming, Zhou Ming put this stone in the spotlight.
But now, it seems that it still failed, and the light that was gathered did not react to the stone at all.
The intense light faded away, and a fluorescent glow enveloped the hall.
Zhou Ming stretched out his claws and grabbed a fish passing by. The fish were immediately frightened and scattered.
"Stone No. 8, after being burned at the spotlight, can produce Flame No. 8. However, after being completely incinerated with Flame 78, there was no change at the spotlight. There are three questions here, one is that after being burned by the No. 78 flame, there is no reaction, is there only the No. 8 stone, or is it the same as the other numbers......?
Zhou Ming said a lot of words to the fish in his hand. Including the current doubts and conjectures of the approximate causes, as well as how to verify them later. These words were all sealed in a divine crest, and then engraved into the body of the fish.
In fact, Zhou Ming's current exploration has encountered a big problem. That is, there is no basic reference. As a result, all of Zhou Ming's current research cannot be connected in series to form a system.
Zhou Ming has always wanted to find the most basic thing, just like the molecules and atoms in the previous life. However, even if according to Zhou Ming's wishes, he obtained a magical power for observation, but he still couldn't see what the most basic thing was in all things at this time.
The exploration has reached an impasse, although various experiments have made Zhou Ming's information increase, but it is meaningless, because it has stopped moving.
