Chapter 19 Explosion
Dong Junwei closed her eyes and concentrated on the iron block in her hand, but this frightened everyone else and took a few steps back, fearing that the squad leader would directly detonate the iron block.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Stop heating it."
"..."
Everyone hurriedly stopped them.
Dong Junwei then opened her eyes and looked at the iron block in her hand that was smoking. She was also startled and took off her hands like a reflex.
"Boom!"
The hot iron hit the ground.
"This is..."
"It seems that it really changes the temperature of the object?" Chen Mu turned to ask Tang Jing.
"It's hard to say for now."
Tang Jing said to Dong Junwei again: "Squad leader, can't you feel your hands?"
"No." Dong Junwei shook his head.
"How did you do it?"
"You didn't do anything. Just like Chen Mu said, just focus on the iron block and it will become like this by itself." "Did you have the
idea of 'heating' it? ?"
"No."
"Can you cool it down?"
"I'll try."
Dong Junwei also understood at this time that the iron block was heated to this extent by herself, but she would not be burned.
She leaned down and picked up the iron piece again, and began to concentrate again, but this time she was silently thinking about letting it cool down.
However, after almost a minute or so, instead of cooling down, the iron block was emitting more and more green smoke, giving people the illusion that it was about to burn red.
"Squad leader, stop!"
Dong Junwei had just discovered her ability, and it was very fresh. No one interrupted her, and she was probably going to burn the iron.
She quickly stopped.
The temperature of the iron block seems to be no longer rising.
"It's not about controlling the temperature." Tang Jing said.
"Only heating?" Chen Mu asked.
"Maybe, let's do some more research later."
Tang Jing looked very happy to have one more research subject. Dong Junwei and Chen Mu looked at each other. The former probably felt like being treated as an experimental subject.
However, Dong Junwei herself seems to know what her ability is, and she readily agrees to it.
"Go back quickly."
There were nine people in the group.
Returned with a full load.
When they arrived, Wei Dalei and several other boys took turns pushing the flatbed cart, but after it was filled with things, others could no longer get on it because there was only one handle and no one else could help even if they wanted to.
But for Wei Dalei, this weight is not a problem.
The flatbed truck is still very rough. The four wheels are smooth enough individually. But to make each one the same size, Chen Mu doesn't have the control yet. If he has to do it, it will take a long time. .
Squeak...squeak...
after filling with rice grains and water.
The sound from the flatbed truck is even worse.
...
Although the journey was not that far, it was a long trip back and forth, plus the time everyone spent killing rice bugs and bathing. By the time they returned to the original storage room and lay on the towels, it was almost noon.
Wei Dalei, Zhu Hao and others were busy moving the buckets off the flatbed truck, while the rice grains were left on top.
As of now, everyone does not have a fixed campsite, and they all live around towels.
After a busy morning, the first thing I felt was hunger.
"Oops, we've eaten all the cake."
"You can't eat it until you finish it all."
"We have rice."
"But it can only be eaten raw."
"..."
"Eating raw rice has poor nutritional absorption, and It is likely to cause indigestion, stomachache and diarrhea. In order not to be hungry in a short period of time, this is the only way to do it, but doing this for a long time will definitely not work." Tang Jing explained a few words and then smiled: "But now it seems that this is no longer the case. Question."
"Squad leader?" Chen Mu said.
"Yes, so we are really lucky. Although we don't know exactly what the squad leader's ability is, heating the iron alone is enough to solve our current problem." Chen Mu's half piece of
iron The piece was too hot, so Dong Junwei could only hold it all the way.
However, after returning to the place, this hot piece of iron showed no intention of cooling down.
Chen Mu naturally thought of using it to cook things.
However, Tang Jing said to Dong Junwei: "Squad leader, why don't you try heating the rice grains directly?"
Dong Junwei nodded.
As soon as Wei Dalei heard that he had something to eat, Pidianpidian moved a grain of rice from the flatbed truck.
"But be careful. If it succeeds, it may turn into popcorn. The explosive power should be quite big." "
I know."
After Dong Junwei finished speaking, she put her palms against the rice grains and closed her eyes to concentrate as before.
Disappointing however.
The rice grains showed no reaction at all.
"Why is this happening?"
"Could it only work on metal?"
"Try something else."
After Tang Jing finished speaking, she picked up a stone on the ground.
If the quality of the cement floor is average, it will become sandy over time, and with some sand particles floating in from elsewhere, the ground at this time will be far from clean for humans.
Even the flatness is barely there.
The so-called stones are actually just larger grains of sand.
Dong Junwei and others used it to repel ants before they met Chen Mu.
Dong Junwei held the stone in one hand and repeated the same trick.
Waited for about a minute.
The stone looked unchanged.
"Do you have a fever?"
Chen Mu went up and put his palm close to the stone, touched it quickly with his fingers, and then immediately retracted it.
Then, he shook his head at everyone.
"Hey..."
Everyone was discouraged.
Dong Junwei also sighed slightly. She became increasingly confused about her own abilities. Perhaps she could only heat metal as Chen Mu guessed.
This ability cannot be said to be bad.
Especially now, it perfectly solves the problem of cooking rice.
But it still lacks the ability to protect itself.
She had the same idea as Chen Mu. She couldn't survive the moment and it was useless to say anything. If a centipede came in while sleeping tonight, then their cooking problems with the centipede would be solved.
Dong Junwei had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, and finally stopped thinking about it and threw the stone away casually.
Perhaps to vent a little bit, Dong Junwei used a little too much force this time, and the stone drew a parabola and fell heavily to the ground.
"Boom."
A sudden explosion startled everyone.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the source of the sound.
It was the stone Dong Junwei had just thrown.
I saw a dark patch blasted out on the ground over there.
Everyone was stunned.
The scale of the explosion was not that big, at most it was a larger firecracker, but an ordinary stone could release such a powerful explosion, which made people confused for a while.
"What's going on?"
"The stone turned into explosives?"
"..."
Dong Junwei herself was stunned, not knowing what to do.
When everyone was talking about it.
Tang Jing suddenly said: "I probably understand a little bit."
"What?"
"I estimate that Dong Junwei's ability is a kind of energy infusion, but it will have different effects depending on the target material." "
Metal heats up. And the rocks are explosions?" Chen Mu followed.
"Although a more precise description may be needed, for the time being, this is probably true." Tang Jing nodded.
