After a series of tremors.
Watching the large cliffs of Mingguan Gorge by the Guojiu Lake in front of me being affected by the explosion, destroying and collapsing, watching countless flowers, plants and trees either being blown away by the shock wave or being burned to coke by the heat wave, looking at the extra diameter that appeared out of thin air. The large pit that is at least a hundred meters long and the white mushroom cloud that continues to rise and expand high in the sky. Finally, look at the turbulent waves and the fruit wine lake water rolling into the pit, even though Annie used dark red at the critical moment. The lava shield protected them and no one was killed, but now they are all in an extremely embarrassed state. Xiang Ling and Keli, who were kneeling on the ground, were also shocked.
"..."
"..."
Anyway, until the huge white mushroom cloud that was still slowly rising and expanding reached its highest point, until the dust gradually dissipated, and until the chaotic airflow began to slowly calm down, the two of them were still a little dumbfounded. He looked ahead, looking at the surrounding area of the large crater that was in a molten state and emitting high temperatures, without being able to react.
Before noon, the three of them met and got to know each other by the lake north of Qingquan Town.
After noon, Kelly used a bouncing bomb to create another explosion in the Cider Lake, harvesting several plump golden bass and bluefin bass, and then had a happy game on a small island in the middle of the lake. After having a picnic in the afternoon, they arrived here together at dusk, arriving at the corner of Mingguan Gorge near the Cider Lake.
Then, he didn't know who made the head first, but he even suggested that he wanted to see who could make the loudest and most powerful explosives?
So, they came to the edge of the cliff in Mingguan Gorge.
Immediately afterwards, after Keli used a bouncing bomb to create a moderate roar, causing the cliff to tremble slightly, Lady Queen Anne, who was a little disdainful of the other party's 'baby', didn't even think about it. With a wave of his hand, a box of 'D-8 Explosive Devices' was thrown out.
That thing has another name, that is 'deuterium-8 grenade'.
It's a nuclear grenade, a cute gadget whose explosion radius is said to far exceed the attack range.
In addition to being extremely unstable, it is also extremely easy to cause chaos when used. It is common to accidentally injure civilians and friendly forces. Improper use causes damage to Allied buildings and crashes of warships. It is even more common. So, Kep The Federation of Heroes in Luxing District has actually eliminated this kind of stuff and has a better alternative.
but!
A certain troubled little girl still had a lot of inventory in her bag, and this time, she took out a large box.
But no idea...
Suddenly, that stupid guy Keli threw them all directly to the bottom of the cliff?
Then……
The result was naturally the terrifying explosion and huge noise just now, creating the terrifying crater with a diameter of at least one hundred meters in front of the three people, and also planting the beautiful flower in the sky. A slowly expanding white mushroom cloud.
After all, that kind of 'deuterium-8 grenade' is a weapon used in interstellar warfare. Even a small one has an explosion yield of about 100 tons of TNT, with an error of plus or minus 20, and a box contains a hundred of them. , therefore, when detonated at the same time, it can probably produce an effect equivalent to the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a yield of more than 10,000 tons.
But now, a large crater with a diameter of at least a hundred meters appeared out of thin air in the corner of Mingguan Gorge, and what happened just now is completely normal.
"!!"
"It's over, it's over!"
"The explosion seemed a bit excessive..."
After a long time, the instigator, the ignorant and cute Keli, finally came to his senses, jumped to his feet and exclaimed loudly.
She knew that the explosion of that magnitude just now, the rolling waves and the earthquake-like shaking of the ground and mountains, as well as the white mushroom cloud that had risen into the sky, would definitely affect the huge fruit wine lake. Mondstadt in the middle!
Even, while shaking the Cider Lake and the city of Mondstadt, might it be seen by people in the entire Mondstadt area?
"Crap!"
"Sister Anne, Captain Qin will definitely come to settle the score with you!"
Then, Keli blinked and thought that the thing that exploded didn't seem to be her baby, nor was it a bouncing bomb. She suddenly had an idea. She turned around and faced the two of them seriously while maintaining the protective posture. Annie, who was shielding, said so and so.
"Soon you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
"This is none of Keli's business!"
While speaking, Keli seemed to have already thought of some kind of countermeasure.
Presumably, if the Qin in her mouth really comes to her door, she will immediately tell Annie and the 'deuterium-8 grenade' that Annie just took out, and then throw away all her own responsibilities. Is it clean?
After all, it was really not her fault, and for an explosion like the one just now, she would have to deploy at least a lot of bouncing bombs to create that shocking effect, which would take a lot of time.
"!!"
!(;??o??)o
"You're talking nonsense!"
o(*`ー??)o
Hearing that little Keli's shirk of responsibility, Anne instantly raised her cute eyebrows.
"It was obviously you who blew it up!"
(??~??)
"Who asked you to throw all these grenades directly?"
(????ˇεˇ????)
"That's what you did!"
s(??`ヘ????;)ゞ
Although Annie was not afraid, she didn't want to carry the 'big pot' in front of her!
After all, when she brought out the box of 'Deuterium-8 grenades' just now, she just wanted to compete with the other party's bouncing bombs. But who would have thought that the other party would cheer everyone without even asking a question? The whole box was thrown to the bottom of the cliff?
If the other party had released them one by one, it wouldn't have ended up like this...
In short, even if Annie is not afraid of being troubled by the cunning Captain Qin, she will not take responsibilities that do not belong to her for no reason.
"!!"
"But!"
"You asked me to try it..."
Although that was indeed the case, but thinking of some terrible consequences, Keli still stubbornly started to protest in that milky voice.
"If someone asks you to try it, just try it properly!"
(*???????????)
"Who asked you to throw down a whole box?"
(??˙o˙??)
"It's your fault anyway!"
(???????????)
Fortunately, Anne didn't take out that kind of 'big treasure' with the equivalent of one billion tons just now, otherwise, I'm afraid Mondstadt would no longer exist.
even……
Not just Mondstadt, but probably the entire world will be blown to pieces?
(…)
(● ̄?? ̄●)
"But!"
"You didn't say anything just now!"
Keli's panicked expression was suffocating at first, then her face turned red and she continued to protest.
"But you didn't even ask!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Anyway, it's not their fault."
????(??????????)???????
"You threw those grenades. They saw it, and so did sister Xiangling. They also saw Tibbers the little bear, sister Xiangling's rice cooker, and your Dudu."
(*^▽^*)
"Really, Sister Xiangling?"
(????????-)
After speaking, Annie blinked and secretly signaled to Xiang Ling, who was still a little dumbfounded.
"!!"
"Sister Xiang, Xiangling?"
"You judge!"
As a last resort, Keli quickly turned her head and looked at Xiangling anxiously and helplessly, hoping that the other party could say something fair to her.
Or, even a half-sentence will do, as long as you don't put all the blame on her.
"Well..."
"Well……"
"I think……"
"Feel sorry!"
"Keli, it seems that you did throw it out. This is a fact."
"You were too messy just now."
"At least……"
"Should we ask clearly?"
Although she really wanted to help the poor, 'weak' and helpless little Keli in front of her, Xiangling felt that what Annie said was right. Keli did act recklessly without asking, and she did deserve most of the blame. responsibility.
However, after thinking about it and seeing the little Keli in front of her looking like she wanted to cry, she finally had to sigh and continued to add:
"but……"
"Kelly, please don't be nervous."
"We were thrown into this uninhabited canyon. Although some changes... well, some changes in the terrain, at least we were not thrown directly into the lake, no one was hurt, and no fish were fried. This should not be a big deal. Bar?"
The fact is exactly what Xiang Ling said. Although the power of the explosion just now was indeed terrifying, it was something she had never seen before.
If it were accidentally detonated in Mondstadt, it is estimated that Mondstadt, the free capital of windmills and dandelions built on the large island in the center of the Cider Lake, would be instantly razed to the ground. The consequences It must be very tragic!
Fortunately, this is not Mondstadt, but the Mingguan Gorge, and it is far away from cities and villages. Although the explosion just now will indeed cause some turmoil, compared with the tragic disaster it caused, it is still relatively worth celebrating.
"that is!"
(????????????)
"Anyway, it didn't hurt anyone, nor did it hurt too many small animals. It just blew up a canyon and created a big puddle. What's so big about it?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Anne also echoed indifferently.
You know, when they wanted to compete to see whose explosives were the loudest and most powerful, they specifically chose Mingguan Gorge.
There are not many people here, not even those Qiuqiu people and slimes. Therefore, although the explosion just now was indeed a bit scary, since it did not cause more serious consequences, it must not be Need to stop worrying too much.
This is unclaimed land, so if it explodes, it will explode. Is it possible that you are worried that someone will come and cause trouble?
"wrong!"
"it's not like that!"
However, Keli hurriedly waved her fist in denial, still looking like she was very anxious but didn't know how to explain it.
"I……"
"You don't know, "Set bombs in the city to report in the solitary room", "Bombs injuring people and Qin comes to the door", "Set fire to the mountain and Keli is finished", these are Keli's survival rules in the Knights! "
"That was written by Cavalry Captain Kaia to Kelly!"
"And the firecrackers that were just set off were so loud, Mondstadt will definitely be affected, and there may be houses collapsing and people being injured..."
"This mountain was also blown up..."
"Woo..."
"Kelly is going to die!"
"Qin will definitely come to the door, but Keli will not see the sun tomorrow soon!"
Immediately afterwards, Keli broke off her white and tender fingers one by one and started lamenting loudly with a sad face. At the same time, her face was filled with the look of despair.
"ah?"
"this……"
"All right!"
Xiang Ling didn't know what to say. After all, she was a traveler from Liyue, and she wasn't very familiar with Mondstadt's situation, and she couldn't talk about the internal affairs of the West Wind Knights, so, Keli was worried about all kinds of things, but she was really helpless.
"..."
=???????('ヮ'=????????)
"If you can't see tomorrow, just look at the day after tomorrow!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
"What's so great about it?"
??(??????)??????
However, Annie had already seen through the statement that Keli often talked about, "Can't see the sun tomorrow". She knew that what the other party meant was just being locked up in a solitary room. That kind of thing was no big deal. Anyway, it's not Queen Anne herself who is imprisoned.
(…)
(● ̄?? ̄●)
"!!"
"wrong!"
"An explosion like the one just now is not as simple as not being able to see the sun tomorrow!"
"It's very possible that you won't be able to see it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow!"
It seemed that she thought of something more terrifying, so Keli said this with a hint of crying, and a little sparkling light began to emerge in her eyes, which almost didn't come out of her eyes directly. I cried out loudly.
"Is that so?"
(⊙o⊙*)
Blinking, Annie began to think.
"That……"
(*??????*;)
"It doesn't matter!"
????(????`??)??????
"Then the worst case scenario is to watch the sun next month?"
(??????????)hey-hey!
That's right, in Anne's opinion, no matter how long the other person is imprisoned, he will always be released, and it doesn't matter.
"Be good."
☆??(o*??ω??)??
"It's fine."
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)??
Anyway, it's not about her, it doesn't matter even if the other person can't see the sun next year, so Anne comforts her with such pale words, not intending to do anything practical for the other person at all.
"Woo..."
"It's very important!"
Keli, who was angry and scared, wanted to continue to say something, but she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
"Ruined."
"Woo..."
Therefore, she could do nothing but squat down again while holding her head.
"well……"
"OK."
"Keli, don't worry for now. After all, there's no point in worrying, right?"
Xiangling first comforted Keli, and then she quickly looked at the other little guy who had nothing to do with her.
"correct."
"Annie, I want to know..."
"What is the 'deuterium-8 grenade' you took out just now made of, and why is it so powerful?"
"That box is not big..."
In this way, Xiangling, who did not intend to continue the discussion between Annie and Keli about what had happened and could not be undone, hurriedly spoke up and asked the question that had been puzzling her from the beginning.
"Alas!"
"Yes."
"Say it quickly!"
"Kelly wants to know too."
Hearing Xiang Ling's words, Keli came back to her senses in an instant and was successfully attracted to her attention. She temporarily forgot about Captain Qin's angry rebuke and things like 'I can't see the sun tomorrow'.
You know, Keli is very good at making explosions and fires, and she is also better at researching and making various explosives!
But the small box of 'Deuterium-8 grenades' just caused such a terrifying explosion. Keli never dared to think about that kind of situation before, so if possible, she would like to know the principle and take a good look at it. to study and utilize.
For example, to improve her 'baby' power and bouncing bombs?
"Well..."
(^~^;)ゞ
"It's actually very simple..."
(*??????*)
"You know about deuterium, right?"
??(??????ω????)??
"It is an isotope of hydrogen, also known as heavy hydrogen, with the chemical symbol D or 2H. Deuterium is a colorless, odorless flammable gas at room temperature, and it mostly exists in seawater and ordinary water in the form of heavy water D2O, that is, deuterium oxide. , it needs to be separated and purified before it can be used.”
??(???????????????)???????
"The mass concentration of deuterium in seawater is approximately thirty milligrams per liter..."
(????.??????)
"After purification to deuterium, under certain conditions, such as ultra-high temperature and high pressure? Under that extremely high temperature and pressure, the extranuclear electrons can be freed from the shackles of the atomic nucleus, allowing the two atomic nuclei to attract and collide with each other. When they come together, the atomic nuclei will agglomerate with each other, generating new atomic nuclei with a heavier mass, and at the same time releasing huge amounts of energy, just like that!"
??(ˊ〇ˋ*)??
After thinking for a while, Annie didn't hide anything and directly told what she knew.
"Can you understand this?"
(??????.??????)????????
Then, after finishing speaking, she looked at Xiang Ling, who was listening in confusion, and Xiao Keli, who was shocked and eager to try, with searching eyes.
Although Anne is not an orthodox Scientologist, she still knows some general principles. For example, she also knows that lithium and deuterium are made into lithium deuteride, which can produce the tritium needed for a hydrogen bomb, and then use it to make a more powerful bomb. Fusion device?
"certainly……"
"I don't understand!"
"Forget it, don't ask anymore."
"I'd better continue to learn how to cook!"
Sighing, Xiangling said that she understood every word Annie just said, but when added together, she was confused.
She only knows that there are all kinds of delicious fish in the sea, which can be made into various dishes. She also knows that sea water can be directly boiled or dried to produce sea salt that is much more bitter than mine salt. As for what Anne just said She had never heard of the deuterium knife or anything like that.
"!!"
"deuterium?"
"The mass concentration of deuterium in seawater is very high?"
"Purify!"
"Then detonate it with ultra-high temperature and high pressure?"
Unlike Xiang Ling, Keli, who had an extraordinary talent for explosives, instantly grasped a key point, and then her eyes widened at the same time, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Although she didn't know what Annie meant by 'the atomic nuclei aggregate to form new nuclei with heavier mass', Keli, who was very talented in explosion research, still understood the three most critical points. That is:
First, the content of 'deuterium' in sea water is very high. Unfortunately, west of Mondstadt, there is a large beach at the nearest Eagle Beach, and there is still as much sea water as there is!
Second, purify!
As long as she has a sample, Keli guarantees that she can easily extract the thing called 'deuterium' from seawater using various methods!
Because, she herself is also an excellent and talented alchemist!
Of course, talent is limited to explosives and explosive-related materials...
Finally, it is detonated with ultra-high temperature and high pressure!
Ultra-high temperature and high pressure, it couldn't be easier for Keli.
Because she has the Super Bouncy Bomb and the Super Big Baby that can achieve the harsh conditions of 'ultra-high temperature and high pressure', and even if she can't do it, she still has a way to do it after improvement, which is very important to Keli. A simple little thing, completely worth mentioning.
Now, her only problem is to figure out what deuterium is, and it will be easier for her to study it if she has a sample.
The most important thing is that even if she doesn't know what 'deuterium' is, as long as she has a sample, she can follow the example and directly use seawater to purify and refine it. That is the power of alchemy!
"that……"
"Sister Anne?"
"Can you give me some more of those 'deuterium-8 grenades'?"
"Keli promises not to throw it away this time. Keli is using it for research!"
"I promise!"
Afraid that Annie would disagree, Keli was so excited that she quickly stretched out her palm and swore loudly.
"ah?"
(,,????.????,,)
"How much do you want?"
(..????_????..)
Although Anne didn't believe that the other party could figure out the reason, she had no reason to refuse, so she asked directly.
"Um……"
"That's all you need."
After thinking for a while, Keli stretched out two cute fingers.
"Two?"
(;¬д¬)
"All right!"
ε=(??ο`*)))Alas
After thinking for a while, she sighed again, and then reached into her pocket.
"wrong!"
"That's two boxes!"
However, Keli hurriedly corrected her loudly.
"Do you want that much?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Fine!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Anyway, I have a lot of these firecrackers, and I haven't played with them for a long time, so I'll give you some more!"
ヾ(????﹏??)????
First she glanced at Keli with curiosity and surprise, and then without thinking much, Annie quickly took out a storage bag that she had picked up in the previous world and put a bunch of messy things in it and handed it to Keli. In front of Li.
"Here!"
??(ψ`▽′)o
"All the things you want are put inside, and there are also some messy gadgets. Let's get them for you to study!"
|??????ω????)????
With that said, Annie directly stuffed the bag into Keli's arms.
In addition to two boxes of nuclear grenades, there were also some messy individual missiles and some small things that Annie didn't need. She packed them all and gave them to the other party, including some of the things the other party needed to study nuclear physics. Instruments and books etc.
Anyway, Annie has plenty of that kind of stuff. When she uses it up, she can go to the Koprulu sector to get it or simply open a portal and have someone deliver it to her. There's nothing special about that.
As for whether the little Keli in front of her will really figure out the reason by then, and whether she will really develop a large artillery firecracker with an explosion yield of tens of thousands of tons or more like the one just now, that is irrelevant. Her Queen Anne thing.
(????ω????)
After all, the little Keli in front of her is really just a little girl of a few years old. What bad intentions could the other party have?
"Wow!"
"Very good!"
"Sister Anne, I really like you!"
"real!"
First, she took the bag expectantly and looked at the opening of the bag. She found that there was something special inside. Sure enough, she had all the things she needed. Kelly cheered, then jumped over and hugged Annie and kissed her hard with her face. Rubbing against Annie's body and shoulders.
"!!"
!!!∑(??Д??ノ)ノ
"go away!"
(????へ????╬)
"A face full of snot and tears!"
=???????(??????*)
“It’s so dirty!!”
ヽ(ヽ`д′)┌┛★)`з゜)
Unfortunately, Annie didn't buy the way Xiao Keli showed her goodwill. After a vigorous argument, she stomped on the other person's face and pushed her aside.
"Annie..."
"are you sure?"
"Give it to Kelly to play with something dangerous like that?"
At this time, Xiangling was a little uneasy.
She thinks that since that kind of thing is so dangerous, it should be kept properly instead of being carelessly handed over to the equally careless and ignorant little Keli. Otherwise, she can't guarantee that one day Will the city of Mondstadt be instantly reduced to ashes after a loud explosion?
"What's the matter..."
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"What is that?"
(°ー°〃),
Suddenly, before Annie could continue, she discovered something first, and strangely pointed her finger at the sky in the direction of Mondstadt and asked.
At this time, there, at the end of the sight, high in the sky, there seemed to be something flying together, and gliding towards them at a neither fast nor slow speed?
"??"
"That is……"
Xiang Ling couldn't see clearly. She wasn't sure if it was a group of big birds or something else. After all, the distance was still a little too far.
"!!"
"not good!"
"It's all the uncles and eldest sisters of the Knights of the West Wind!"
However, Xiao Keli, who was also looking in the direction indicated by Annie, was suddenly startled. Then, after she immediately put away the storage bag given by Annie, she hurriedly held Annie and Xiangling's hands. Just plan to run in the north direction.
"Miss Anne!"
"And Sister Xiangling, let's run!"
"Don't let them catch you!"
"As long as you don't get caught, no one will know it was Keli who did it!"
Keli knew without thinking that the Knights of the West Wind, who had been alarmed by Mondstadt City, must have used the Wings of Wind to fly here from the highest point of Mondstadt City to see what was going on. And if she was caught at the scene of the explosion, then But it’s over!
By then, she will definitely not be able to see the sun tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow!
In that case, her plan to go to Yingxiang Beach to study 'Deuterium 8' would be ruined. That could not happen under any circumstances.
"Why are you afraid of them?"
(lll¬▽¬)
"Hey!"
(*°▽°*)!
"Keli! Stop talking nonsense. Wouldn't it be better if you just use teleportation magic?"
??????(__*)????
As a last resort, Annie, who didn't want to be forced to run away by Corila, didn't even think about it, so she raised her hand and cast a teleportation spell, causing the three of them to disappear instantly, and they didn't know where they were teleported.
At the crime scene, apart from the shapeless but still huge white mushroom cloud that was rising and spreading with the wind, there was only the high-temperature pit submerged by the lake and the surrounding mess, such as The crumbling cliffs, fires everywhere, scorching high-temperature air, flowers, plants and trees blown down by shock waves and strong winds and burnt to char, and so on.
