Diary: Now, we are in the tropics. This is a tropical area in the true sense. The original cold climate is gone forever.
I really wanted to call my family to make sure they were safe, but unfortunately I couldn't. The threat was always lurking in the dark, which was tantamount to suicide.
During this journey, the farther away from home, the more uneasy it becomes, as if the heaven is hiding something terrible.
The recent uneasiness has all disappeared miraculously, and my parents’ dreams have not been significantly disturbed. The investigation has probably come to an end...
——
story:
On the island lake, Chen Xingtian was practicing controlling the water flow and writing in his diary, while Ding Ruomeng watched Kong Kong catch fish in the lake.
The scenery on the island is not the kind of beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes away from it. It is mixed with a sense of desolation and vastness.
To put it bluntly, this place is always on the sea, and terrestrial plants that can adapt to the growth of seawater are not common. Although there is a lake on the island that can barely be regarded as a freshwater lake, it is not enough to support the growth of vegetation.
The area of Island Lake is not large, about a thousand square meters, and the deepest water depth is only 5 meters. There is a layer of light green phytoplankton floating on the lake.
The seemingly common lake actually hides a hidden danger. Because it is an island lake, the only direct source of water is rainfall. The lake is also completely closed, with no rivers flowing to the sea.
This means that the eutrophication of the lake is extremely serious, so much so that Chen Xingtian can hardly see fish in the lake. Instead, there are more amphibians with higher poison resistance.
And some water snakes...
Chen Xingtian originally planned to use his mind power to clear the underwater lake for fun, but he was naturally disgusted by these long-shaped creatures that preyed on humans, including some parasites.
Although I could pick out these disgusting things afterwards, I was still a little scared mentally.
Well, he can still practice water control honestly. As for entering the water, wait until the water can no longer get close to him.
There is a lot of knowledge about water control, such as water turning into ice, water turning into steam, capillary effect, and soap bubbles that Chen Xingtian is currently studying.
The generation of soap bubbles relies on appropriate surface tension. When a thin layer of water swells into a bubble due to external force, it will actually burst quickly because the surface tension of the water itself is too high.
The simplest formula for soapy water is glycerin:water:detergent=1:4:4. In this ratio, the surface tension of water can be reduced to one-third of its original value, and it is easiest to maintain the shape of soap bubbles.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, a Czech inventor once set a world record for wrapping a car and 275 people in soap bubbles. No one has broken it yet. Of course, this would not work for Chen Xingtian.
Because of the eutrophication caused by the stagnant nature of the lake water, in other words, it is a smelly lake with all kinds of messy material elements. However, precisely because of all the elements, there is actually a thick layer of odor floating on the lake. Oily substance, Chen Xingtian was reluctant to use the spare cooking oil in the tent.
Fortunately, Ding Ruomeng prepared a piece of soap by mistake, because although Chen Xingtian can directly let water pass through the clothes to achieve the cleaning effect, the original odor is difficult to remove, and now it can be used for experiments.
Extract a little lake water, precipitate excess substances, retain the oil on the surface, add a little soap, a little glue, and a little jellyfish secretion——
The effect is great!
What is floating in front of Chen Xingtian now is a ball of extremely viscous liquid. In a sense, the properties of soap bubbles also depend on the viscosity and ductility of the liquid. The more viscous the liquid, the easier it is to remove it. The gas is trapped inside.
A light flashed in his eyes, and his telekinesis was activated!
It can be seen that the spherical liquid dents inward from all sides, slowly locking the outside air inside.
This time there was only a small amount of gas. Chen Xingtian removed his mental power from the center, and the bubbles inside quickly rose up and reached the highest point of the liquid, and a small bubble popped out.
Slowly, more and more gas was released from the inside, and the bubble became larger and larger, changing from the original hemispheric shape to a three-quarter spherical shape, covering nearly half of the liquid inside, and finally surrounding the entire water sphere. in.
Seeing such a result, Chen Xingtian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. This must be the first time in history.
There are people in China who have done experiments on water in space, but who knows how to play with bubbles in space?
On Earth, due to gravity, water only takes on a spherical shape when it falls and is blown away by the wind. People can only do soap bubble experiments on calm water.
In space, due to the immature aviation technology, some precision instruments cannot be effectively protected. They will cause safety hazards after being immersed in water, and the bursting of soap bubbles will splash out some tiny water droplets.
To put it bluntly, he is the only one who can create and observe this phenomenon so far.
Chen Xingtian shook his head. The power of his mind was ahead of his time by countless years. It could complete many major projects that humans could not complete and promote the development of civilization many times.
No longer thinking about this, Chen Xingtian focused on the liquid and divided it into five parts. Even so, each lump was still the size of a fist.
The next second, these five masses of liquid began to expand infinitely, until they were larger than a human head, a body, a tree, and a house.
Even Kong Kong and Ding Ruomeng in the jungle stopped and stared blankly at the wonderful scene above the lake - a huge soap bubble the size of Wutuan Villa.
And a very pretentious figure sitting cross-legged in the air.
Fortunately, they had seen so many tricks that Chen Xingtian could do that they were no longer surprised. After all, this thing depends on imagination.
This fantasy scene didn't last long, and the five soap bubbles burst one after another. The only difference was that the last soap bubble lasted longer when it burst. That should be Chen Xingtian trying hard to maintain the shape of the soap bubble.
In the end, Chen Xingtian recovered only three-quarters of the original soapy water, because the evaporation rate in the bubble state was extremely fast, and part of it escaped in the form of gas when it burst.
Learning from his last experience, he set out to find a solution.
The first is the evaporation problem of soap bubbles.
The inability to control the relevant energy (heat) means that he cannot achieve the transformation of matter between the three states in a short period of time, at least not until he controls particles below the nucleus.
Then the only way to cool down is through physical means.
Although the island has poor vegetation, oak trees can still be found, but they grow in the south of the island, while Chen Xingtian and his party are in the center of the island.
In order to protect the safety of Ding Ruomeng and Kong Kong, Chen Xingtian had no choice but to fly south with them.
…
"Wow!"
Ding Ruomeng opened her arms and felt the refreshing breeze blowing across her face. This was the coolest moment she had ever experienced on this island.
"Brother, were you doing a bubble experiment just now?" Ding Ruomeng pointed at a group of colorful water balloons flying with them.
"Well." Chen Xingtian looked at her face soaked with sweat, then looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to turn on the air conditioner? Our tent can be charged, so you don't have to worry about running out of power."
Ding Ruomeng said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that I will damage the air conditioner. If you can't use it, don't use it."
Chen Xing was still talking nonsense to her, brushed the sweat off her face, and directly broke the air conditioner in her hand into several large pieces.
"I am bringing you to travel, not to suffer. If you want to experience the joy of traveling, don't begrudge these external things."
Ding Ruomeng was startled by his expression, a little timid and a little dissatisfied: "Aren't you also suffering all the time, on the way to flight, and in fighting disasters? Until now, you are still practicing your new skills of suffering. "
Chen Xingtian sighed: "Actually, I have gradually integrated into the role of travel. The soap bubbles just now were created without any purpose."
He stopped in mid-air with the three of them, as if he had understood something: "People can't be too tense. Of course I understand this, because excessive tension will only lead to psychological disorder and distorted personality, which will make a person Complete collapse, this is what I understood in my deep sleep."
Well, Chen Xingtian was actually talking nonsense. He discovered that his personality went to extremes when he killed someone for the first time. Just imagine who would not have any psychological fluctuations after killing someone. Only a perverted murderer would do this.
An over-interpretation of Chang Qiuyue's heart, a strong hostility towards the Chinese society, a trace of distrust towards Zhang Qian, Tamoba and others, and a resistance to ordinary life.
During this period of time, the darkness in his heart was continuously amplified. Isn't this caused by excessive tension?
Without the company of Ding Ruomeng and Kong Kong, he would have been even more extreme, even if he had found the path he wanted to take.
"I have always been accustomed to self-reflection and reflection on whether there is anything abnormal in myself. Until this trip, I actually subconsciously believed that it is harmless to transform into an extreme personality.
Looking back now, sometimes, even if I have some thoughts, I am just a blind man lighting a lamp and groping randomly. "
Chen Xingtian pointed to the different parts of the portable air conditioner after it was disassembled: "This part is the compressor, which is used to compress the refrigerant. It can compress the gaseous refrigerant into a solid state.
This ball is refrigerant, which absorbs heat when it vaporizes. This is what produces cold air.
This is the condenser...
This is the evaporator...
This is a four-way valve..."
After talking a lot, Ding Ruomeng finally agreed to turn on the air conditioner. Chen Xingtian wiped away his sweat. After all, he was a child who came out of an orphanage, and some thoughts were difficult to change.
Most poor people are workers, and they are used to working, just like an old mother who is used to washing clothes is not used to using a washing machine.
When he arrived at the location of the rubber tree, Chen Xingtian used his mind power to pull out the latex from the tree crown.
This is a viscous gelatinous substance with a waxy yellow color. This is the natural rubber in high school textbooks. As for why it is called a lump, it is because its fluidity is so poor that it is difficult to separate it with the power of thought.
And it has to be shaped quickly. It will solidify quickly at room temperature, and then it will be a real "bump".
He extracted a large amount of melanin from the underground soil, mixed it with the rubber, and found a ratio that could reflect more than 90% of sunlight.
Practice brings out the truth, and examples reflect the whole. Chen Xingtian used a small part of the rubber to conduct experiments, avoiding unnecessary waste of limited resources.
Next, he began to extract all the melanin that could be found within the local field of vision. The melanin was peeled out from rock crevices, soil, and tree bark. The air was once enveloped by these black dust particles.
Immediately afterwards, a hole opened in the trunks of the only 15 rubber trees on the hillside, and waxy yellow sap flowed out.
Chen Xingtian directly let the latex fly into the sky, and the scene was even weirder than the previous soap bubbles.
If you really want to describe it, it's like 15 tanned yellow dragons dancing wildly in the sky as if they had drunk fake wine.
After extracting all the rubber, the fact was somewhat beyond his expectation, because the combined mass of all the rubber did not exceed 10 kilograms, but it was barely enough.
The next moment, the dough-like rubber suddenly spread out, like a pancake, spreading out into a circle that could cover the sky, an almost opaque pancake circle.
Chen Xingtian thought to himself that if he brought such a huge spread of round cakes over the city, it would not be long before a group of fake experts would jump out to testify, and then quickly block the news.
Just thinking about it, he himself doubted whether the UFO he had seen in the video was real.
Shaking his head, he flew away from here with Ding Ruomeng and Kongkong, back to the sky above the lake.
——
The west side of the island.
A luxury speedboat stopped at the shore, and two people jumped out of the boat.
"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Douglas. It is another year of adventure. So today, let us explore how many mysteries are hidden in this beautiful ring-shaped island."
Wearing a cowboy hat, a gray shirt, a mountaineering pick, a traction rope, a shotgun and other tools on his belt, and a photographer following behind him, does this configuration look familiar?
With their muscular bodies and strong physiques, they seemed to be fully prepared. These two guys were either here to survive in the wild or to explore.
They packed up the things they wanted to bring and walked towards the center of the island.
"Hey guys, look what I found, it's a honey badger! What? You don't know what a honey badger is, but you do, Flathead Brother.
Jeffrey, pull the camera in a little bit and let me see this cute little guy. Well, have you seen the tuft of white hair on its head? This is its symbol.
But why is this little guy so small? I think it's probably still in its infancy. Let's go up and meet it. "
These two people who were not afraid of death walked towards the "honey badger" they called them with shotguns in hand.
You know, the reason why honey badgers are nicknamed "Flat-Headed Brother" is that they are one of the most fearless creatures in the world. Whether they are poisonous snakes, scorpions or other extremely aggressive creatures, honey badgers dare to attack them. provoke and use them as food.
The two gradually groped towards it and observed it closely. It was eating a blue berry that is abundant on the island.
Jeffrey on the side looked a little dazed: "Douglas, do you think 'Brother Flathead' looks a little strange? The white hair on his head... doesn't seem to be flat."
Douglas hesitated at this time. There was another animal in the world that looked very similar to the honey badger, but he couldn't remember it. After all, he was just an amateur explorer.
"Try its habits and you'll find out. Anyway, it's only such a small one and it won't pose a threat to us." Douglas encouraged Jeffrey with a fearless look.
But when he got closer to the "honey badger" and was less than 5 meters away, his doubts became more and more amplified.
'This little guy has already discovered me, why hasn't he attacked yet? Is it a new species on the island? '
Jeffrey also carried the camera to Douglas's side and observed the huge tail of the "honey badger" at close range. The clear black and white lines suddenly flashed in his mind.
'Their body length is between 610mm and 690mm, with small eyes, long hind paws, and short forefoot claws. There is a long white stripe between the eyes, and there are two large odor glands in the black tail and anus...
Smell glands...
Jeffrey yelled frantically: "Douglas, that could be a skunk..."
"Bah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a pool of yellow liquid sprayed on both of their faces, and then the "honey badger" shook its tail and quickly left the place.
"Ugh!"×2
The two immediately started a crazy vomiting mode, because the smell of skunk is one of the ugliest smells in the world. This smell can be mixed with stinky socks that have not been worn for a month and fully fermented feces in a pot, dried, boiled and concentrated. Nothing compares.
Knowing that Douglas was vomiting and exhausted, he weakly said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jeffrey also had no energy left: "Shouldn't you remember these things?"
…
Come on, eldest brother, don’t laugh at the second brother. The two of them are evenly matched, so don’t laugh at the other.
After a period of recovery, they returned to the beach to cleanse themselves of the smell until all the smell was gone (or so they thought) before embarking on their journey again.
To be honest, these two guys were also unconventional characters. Where Chen Xingtian thought it was safe, they still went there.
"Look! On that rock over there!" Douglas exclaimed, and Jeffrey quickly turned the camera to the tent on the cliff.
"What a big tent. How did such a big tent get moved onto the cliff? It seems that there are explorers like us on this island. Let's go and meet them."
Douglas was overjoyed. The two of them went out to explore with only simple equipment, and the tent was only the simplest kind. The one on the cliff looked fully equipped, and it might even be able to charge.
It was only when they reached the bottom of the cliff and tried to climb it that they realized how steep the cliff was. It was impossible for people to climb up, at least that's what they thought.
After being defeated again, the two headed towards the center of the island again.
"Oh, it seems like bad luck. Professional adventurers like us are in trouble again and again. God must be targeting us!
I hope the next journey will go smoothly..."
The rest of the journey went much smoother indeed. Although they encountered poisonous snakes and some wild animals along the way, they were able to resolve them one by one. In some respects, they were indeed considered experts.
Until they came over a hill...
"Look, guys! That is the most famous freshwater lake in Tromland. Unfortunately, the lake is an inner island lake and cannot be used. Fortunately, we brought enough drinking water.
I think the people who adventure with us on the island will probably go to that place..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sight in front of him shocked him beyond measure.
It was a circle that covered the sky and the sun. It was large enough to cover the entire lake but also had a large area. It floated quietly above the lake, while below there were five soap bubbles that were growing in size.
There are countless words that cannot describe Douglas's mood at this time. This scene is so subversive to his cognition that his long-established worldview has collapsed into pieces.
"What is that?" Douglas muttered.
"I don't know either." Jeffrey also looked at the huge round cake that almost reached the sky above them with a blank expression.
"Jay, Jeffrey, have you recorded it?" Douglas' mouth was dry.
"It's recorded."
"Is the picture clear?"
"4K ultra-clear, even if you show it to a video expert, they probably won't think it's P."
"That's good!" Douglas gradually came back to his senses and looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes gradually becoming sharper. This may be a huge business opportunity. I don't know how much money he can make by selling it to the US Department of Defense.
What they didn't know was that when they looked at the giant round cake, they had already been noticed by a terrifying existence.
——
Under the round cake, Chen Xingtian, who was expanding soap bubbles, suddenly frowned. He felt a faint sense of peeping, as if someone was spying on them.
Ding Ruomeng on the side knew that something was wrong again when he saw his expression.
"Xiaomeng, take Kongkong and temporarily hide on the shore and call for help immediately if you encounter a situation. I will rush back quickly. Now I have to deal with the emergency."
Ding Ruomeng held his hand: "Should everything be okay?"
"...Don't stand." After saying that, he flew towards the west of the island.
——
"Douglas, do you think this was done by aliens?" Jeffrey was flustered.
"As far as I know, governments can't build this kind of thing. It should be aliens."
After a while, Jeffrey said again: "Do you think aliens will find us? We secretly filmed them in such a big way."
Douglas was a little impatient: "If they found us, they would have killed us just now, and they didn't have to wait until now... ah!"
This was the third time their spellcasting had been interrupted.
Douglas and Jeffrey suddenly felt controlled by a mysterious force and shot towards the sky at extremely fast speeds.
Chen Xingtian sneered in mid-air, this is the result of standing in disorder!
However, when they flew into the air, Chen Xingtian couldn't laugh anymore because it was so smelly.
Chen Xingtian, who originally wanted to chat with them, changed his mind instantly and controlled them to fly towards the sea. He wanted to throw them into the sea.
As he flew, he thought to himself, do all foreigners have such strong tastes? He actually smeared shit on himself! ?
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
He used his senses to detect it and confirmed his eyes. It was someone he didn't recognize. Of course, he only knew Mr. Bei and Mr. De, and other minor characters could not catch his eye.
Then there was no need to be merciful. I dismantled their camera (the one with the graphics card and memory shattered into powder), saw their speedboat again, destroyed the backup camera in the speedboat, and finally dumped the two bodies. sea...
Throwing the body away wouldn't be a problem, staying a little further away was a good choice. Anyway, the bottom line was that they didn't destroy their speedboat. If they could swim back, they would be lucky.
When they came to the sea, both Douglas and Jeffrey slowly stopped. The psychology of surviving the disaster emerged spontaneously, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of escaping a catastrophe.
'Could it be that the aliens have found their conscience and let us go? '
As soon as such an idea occurred, an indescribable force acted on them, as if they were being ejected from a slingshot.
"Let's go."
After realizing that it was two idiots who accidentally discovered his secret, Chen Xingtian became more and more playful and decided to try a wave of human body sex.
After the two flew out, Chen Xingtian's mood improved as the screams became smaller and smaller and the smell gradually dispersed.
However, in order to prevent them from flipping to the water and causing death like in "Terminator 4", Chen Xingtian was very responsible and stabilized their descending posture.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!"
Seven times!
Chen Xingtian held his chin and reflected seriously. If the angle when entering the sea was smaller, he might be able to fly farther and slowly fly towards the island.
