After sprinkling charcoal ash again, the bee flying knights increased their flight altitude and began to return. The protagonist led the team in front. If he did not leave, the flying knights following the action would not leave. Communication in the air was inconvenient, so the only option was Follow the highest ranking commander.
Once they stay outdoors for a long time on a still cold and cloudy day, if the warm baby fails, the flying knights will be in danger, so they must rush back to the lair as soon as possible after the mission is completed.
But the protagonist's heart is still on the ice north of [To the West City].
Visible to the naked eye, more and more Destroyers were waiting to cross the river on the north bank. There were thousands of them each, divided into several military formations.
Yesterday, after the God's Envoy King's army had worked hard all day to finally show signs of thawing, the river surface had only been able to function for half of the day. Now it has refrozen on a cloudy day with weak sunlight, which makes the protagonist anxious.
Is there any way to prevent the Destroyer from crossing the river?
The protagonist was thinking while flying, but without paying attention, a mysterious ball-warming baby hugged by his left middle limb fell down.
The mysterious balls of other flying knights are tied to the body with ant silk, so as not to affect the movement of the six limbs. However, the protagonist felt that it was time-consuming to assemble and disassemble the mysterious ball when taking off and landing, so he used the front two limbs to drive Xiaoqing II, and the middle limbs each held a mysterious ball and placed it on the back of the mount to keep warm, and then flew directly.
The protagonist had been distracted just now. He accidentally let go of his hand and dropped a mysterious ball. Fortunately, the other mystery ball is enough for heating. The two mystery balls are for double insurance.
The mysterious ball fluttered and fell under the influence of air resistance and wind. The protagonist stared at the mysterious ball while flying. An idea flashed in his mind. The protagonist quickly grasped this inspiration and came up with an idea.
I am the dividing line
The flying knight team landed on the top of the ant mound in the main nest [Qingqiu City]. Immediately some worker ants came out despite the cold, helped remove the nut shells, assisted the flying knights down, and then brought the bee mount into the nest.
The protagonist leaves Xiao Qing II to the care of the worker ants and goes directly to the warehouse in [Qingqiu City].
Passing through the passage illuminated by the faint blue light of fluorescent bacteria, the protagonist arrives at a warehouse in the deepest part of Qingqiu City, far away from the combustion chamber.
There are hundreds of mysterious balls stacked here. These are the trophies after the previous battle on the hillside. One thousand of the mysterious balls were transported here for preservation, and most of them are still piled here.
There are still about 600 pills that can still generate heat and be used as baby warmers. Some of the others have been consumed in the past two days of operations, and the other part has not yet been recovered by the flying knight who just returned.
After these mysterious balls are smashed, a deep blue liquid will flow out. After a while, they will oxidize and explode. The explosion is quite powerful. Therefore, these "bombs" are kept in a warehouse away from the combustion chamber.
Since it's a bomb, can't it blast the ice? ! ! The protagonist suddenly thought of this and came up with the "New River Plan".
The explosion of the mysterious ball is very powerful. The protagonist was almost killed by the explosion. It should be feasible to explode the thin ice layer.
And even if the power is not enough, it can be equalized. If more than 600 mysterious balls in the warehouse are detonated together, it will be no less powerful than a few grenades detonated in the human world.
However, how to detonate these mysterious balls is still a problem. The method of smashing and detonating is too dangerous, and only the protagonist's copper hammer is strong enough to smash them. The protagonist does not want to take risks.
Thinking of the thermal weapons in the human world, which are detonated by impact and detonated by fire, the protagonist decided to do an experiment.
I am the dividing line
A nut shell was placed in an open place outside [Qingqiu City]. The protagonist, Rambo Fei, and several male ants, surrounded by guards, hid behind a stone some distance away and peeked their heads to watch.
Hay and dry moss were stuffed into the nut shell. A small piece of charcoal with sparks had been put in by the worker ants with a long wooden shovel. After igniting the hay and dry moss inside, the worker ants stuffed some resistant charcoal. The burned charcoal blocks went in and the nut shells were transported to their destination.
A worker ant held the mysterious ball in its mouth, came to the navel opening of the nut shell, threw the mysterious ball in, and then ran away.
The watching ants also quickly retracted their heads. After about half a minute, the ants hiding behind the rocks heard a violent explosion.
After the explosion, the protagonist looked over and saw a large plume of black smoke rising from the test site, forming a miniature mushroom cloud and rising into the sky.
A crater the size of a tennis ball was blown out of the ground at the test site, which shows how powerful the explosion of the mysterious ball was. The white nut shell, which was originally too strong for the copper jaws to bite, had long been torn apart, and only a few fragments could be seen on the ground.
At this time, some insects not far away that had woken up but were still avoiding the spring cold were frightened and jumped out of the ground, desperately fleeing into the distance, regardless of the harsh spring cold.
The protagonist is very satisfied. The mysterious ball can indeed be ignited by fire, and there is enough time for the ants who lit the fire to escape.
But is a single mysterious ball enough to blast through the ice? If repeated detonations are required, it could be dangerous if the ice breaks loose.
At most, four or five mysterious balls can be stuffed into the umbilical opening of the nut shell. If there are one more, it will be too late to escape. The other is to reduce the fuel inside and shorten the burning time, which may not be enough to wait for the flying knight to transport it to its destination. The ground lacked firepower and turned into a smoldering fire.
The protagonist decided to stuff three mysterious balls into a nut shell first, and if it was not enough for the next action, add more.
At this time, the protagonist asked the worker ants to prepare for the second experiment. This time, the used mysterious balls that no longer generate heat were used in the experiment. These mystery balls have lost their use as "warm babies", and the protagonist wants to see if they can be reused. If these waste mystery balls can also explode, there will be no need to waste good mystery balls.
But after three or four minutes, the waste mystery ball thrown into the burning nut shell did not explode. It seemed that it had completely lost its internal energy.
The protagonist didn't give up and smashed a useless mysterious ball with a copper hammer, and then hid quickly.
But again, several minutes passed without any sound of explosion. The protagonist went over and took a look. There was a faint blue liquid flowing out of the waste mysterious ball, but there was no oxidation reaction. The color of these liquids is much lighter than the light blue liquid flowing out of the intact mysterious ball that the protagonist has seen before. It is very similar to the color of the light of fluorescent bacteria.
It seems that the useless mysterious ball cannot be used as an explosive. The protagonist is not discouraged, it was just a spur of the moment idea.
He sent the worker ants to clean up the experimental site, and then quickly prepared to implement the "New River Opening Plan". The weather is getting colder, and a new wave of cold air may be coming again. The "New River Opening Plan" cannot be delayed!
