Chapter 16 Research
The dwarf Mobak is a geological expert, and he is a real geological expert in the wild. He is the top master of geological knowledge among the dwarves. With his rich practical experience, few geological problems can be difficult for him. Although he looks fierce and has a bad personality, he is really an absolute scholar.
This scholar, who is not a scholar, is also a protected object at this time. He has been guarding the edge of the exterior wall of the building and measuring something. It seems that there has been a result now.
"I've measured it." After putting away a few portable analysis tools, the dwarf shouted, "The sand on the exterior wall and the ground should be considered the same material."
"Well, in any world, the main components of sand and stone are almost the same." Shure sighed, "I don't know anything."
"No, captain, this is what you don't understand. The composition similarity between the sand and stones here is more than 97%. This is just because the equipment I brought can only reach 97%, which means that the actual reading can only be higher."
"Tell me the result directly." Shuer gave up figuring out these details. He had to leave the professionals to judge.
"The result is that they are the same material, they are the same thing."
"So what?" Shul narrowed his eyes, as if he understood what Mobak was surprised.
"So since we arrived in this world, we saw only these stones that would change color in the outdoor environment. However, there are other stones in this world that would not change color. For example, the stone furniture in the house, I thought that this stone bowl has not changed color now. Why don't they use this stone to build the exterior wall?"
"I suspect that the sandstorms and undead tides we encounter have always been the norm in this world, and even happens frequently, so the indigenous people will use this material that can stand in the sandstorm to build houses."
Shuer nodded. It was not unreasonable for Mobak to say that it was true or false. It was easier to judge the authenticity. Next time the wind blew, just put a few pieces of furniture outside. If the stone tools were broken, then Mobak's guess would be very likely.
"As for the reasons why the desert and stones change color, I also have an idea."
"Is it sunny?" Shuer was not surprised at all, obviously he had the intention.
"Yes, I thought at first that the stone might have changed color with time and turned black and yellow at night and daytime, but then overturned this speculation and was more inclined toward the sun."
Shuer nodded and said, "At the same time, the outside of the building turned golden, but the inside was still black, which means that it definitely did not change with time. As for the specific wish, it may be sunshine or sandstorm, which is difficult to judge now."
"You..." I kept watching everyone knowing this projection space through different angles. Kelly never spoke. At this time, she finally couldn't help it. "There are four buildings here. Demolition of a stone from other buildings and then dry it. Isn't it better to see if it changes color inside?"
"Uh..." The few people looked at each other, all of whom were embarrassed. This was indeed the easiest way. No one expected that it would be a bit embarrassing to ask a novice.
However, when you think about it, you just act simply and don’t have to really demolish the house. A group of people climbed onto another building. Marcajren opened the roof with a familiarity, exposing the inner space of the top floor to the sun. Although it is no longer direct now, the sun is still sufficient, and the energy of light completely fills the inner space of the top floor.
Ten minutes later, the answer came out. The black interior was indeed as Mobak guessed. After being exposed to the sun, the black became lighter and lighter, and then became brighter, and eventually turned golden. This was the first time we saw the process of color change with our own eyes. It was obvious that the touch was not changed at all, but it changed significantly. It was indeed very novel.
"Sure enough, the characteristics have also changed." Militi moved her hand away from the inner wall. "It was a real failure. Until I didn't expect to detect these stones. Just like the sand outside, it was like soul sand when it was black, and it was ordinary stone when it was yellow."
"Not ordinary at all." Mia sneered, "Even the energy conductivity has changed. When it is yellow, the energy conductivity is very good, but after it turns black, it is difficult for the energy to pass smoothly. No wonder it is so hot outside but the building is so cool inside."
"It's almost done, let's go back first." Seeing that there was no other valuable information, Shuer simply gathered the team and returned to his temporary residence. Once the roof was closed, the steaming high temperature was isolated outside, and the building was cool. It seemed that the power of these stones was indeed extraordinary.
"The house is cold during the day and warm at night, just the opposite of outside. As expected, every intelligent creature in every world has its own survival wisdom and must not be underestimated." It is difficult to see the proud mountain elves expressing appreciation to other races, but this is actually others' misunderstanding of mountain elves. Although they are arrogant, they will not ignore the advantages of other individuals. As long as they are truly worthy of recognition, they will never sting to admit it.
"But what about those indigenous people?" Militi's question raised cannot be ignored. "There is definitely no intelligent creature in the projection world, that is, there is no one in such a wide area. Where have they gone?"
"The harsh environment forced them to leave." Shure guessed, "No matter how intelligent creatures are, they cannot survive without water. Mia, have the elements changed along the way?"
"It's changing anytime, but if you specifically refer to the water element, it basically has not changed, and it's still unreasonable."
"Ofrigan is here, I think those intelligent creatures are really stupid. These stones can be insulated from the cold and heat, and wind and undead. They can't live without it all day long. So why do you worship the heart of water? Wouldn't it be enough to worship these stones directly?" The dwarf held his beard and laughed loudly, "When the time comes, a stone heart or color-changing stone lord will be born. Maybe they can save them when they have no water."
"Did water pop out of the stone?" Mia glared at the dwarf, "And how do you know that no other gods were born in this world? Maybe there are things like the heart of the stone plant heart, but they are not as coincidentally as the heart of the water, and they are pulled in by the projected world,"
"It's not that easy." The dwarf was always silent by Mia. He had long been used to being bullied, and mumbled and dared not retort loudly.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" The half-length person was still sharp-eyed and found that Xiu'er suddenly stood still.
"Nothing, haha, it's really nothing." Since hearing the conversation between the dwarf and Mia, Shure's movement suddenly froze. It was not until the halfling called him that he could react. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and smiled, intentionally changing the subject, increasing the volume and shouting downstairs, "Saf, Moria, it's us, we're going to come down."
It is common sense to promptly inform your identity, especially if you have issued attacks on all suspicious targets. Otherwise, you will be accidentally injured by your guardian teammates and you will have to blame yourself if you die.
"I've heard you're making noises for a long time." The deer's voice floated up the stairs, "Are you getting anything?"
"I did find something, but every time I find something, I will find several times unknown at the same time." Several people shook off the fine sand all over their bodies and poured water in a greedy mouthful of clear water. People who are not living in the desert for a long time may find it difficult to get used to this extremely dry and scorching environment.
"I don't understand very much." Kelly asked in confusion when everyone was particularly attentive to explore the world, "Is it meaningful to understand? Anyway, you will leave in the end. It's no different whether you know the answers to these questions."
"Of course it's meaningful, and the meaning is to allow us to survive. Understanding these may not necessarily increase our survival rate, but if you don't understand them, everyone will die here, let alone..." Shuer stared at Kelly for a flash of his eyes, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, let's not mention those for now. I'll sort out the sure information first, and everyone will take a look and add it."
"First of all, the undead real existence rather than hallucinations have been tested in the early morning. As for their strength, they cannot be judged. Judging from the impact strength alone, each one has at least the power of the bronze level, and will only be higher and not lower."
"The second is a sandstorm. The power of the sandstorm is indeed very strong, but it seems not as strong as we imagined. After the early morning test, I think with our strength, with the situation where the shield is opened, it can still be done for more than ten minutes. Why was the skeleton rabbit blown into pieces? There is no reason yet."
"Third, we encountered two sandstorms. It was dark after the first one, and after the second one, it happened to be dawn, so I have reason to believe that sandstorms are directly related to the alternation of day and night. It is very likely that sunrises and sunsets will be once. As for whether there will be sandstorms during this period, it is still unknown."
“It may not be possible during the day,” Mia added. “I haven’t encountered a sandstorm yesterday and today during the day.”
"It seems like I've met it at night." It's natural for the ridicule of Militi, "It's too early to draw conclusions."
"Indeed, I think so too." Shuer nodded, "so we will stay here tonight and observe for a night before making a decision."
"Hey? It seems you are planning to change your plan." Lin Jing asked curiously, "Are you ready for the daytime activity?"
"Well, the daytime activity is more stable, at least there are no undead during the day, Militi, can you be sure?"
"It is impossible for the undead to wake up in the state of yellow sand? It is not certain, but based on my experience, it is indeed the case."
"That's it. Although the undead in this world is not strong, it is too many, so it is best to avoid conflicts. Compared with the harsh natural environment, the undead is still more troublesome. After all, there are ways to avoid the pressure of the natural environment, but the undead does not, so I decided to act during the day and now allow objections..."
