Origin Chapter 354: Dragon tendon
Although he knew that the barbarians couldn't catch up with him, Wu Zhongyuan ran fast. What is a thief guilty?
Flying with lightning speed for a while, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten about Li Bie, so I stopped and turned around, only to find that Li Bie appeared ten miles to the west, urging his spiritual energy to chase after him.
Seeing Li Bie following up, Wu Zhongyuan did not wait, but continued to fly eastward, but the speed was not as fast as before. At least Li Bie had to be able to see him.
A moment later, Wu Zhongyuan left the land and came to the sky above the water. During this period, he kept holding the wick of the oil lamp. When he got here, he couldn't hold it. The wick never went out, and the temperature of his palm kept rising. It's starting to get hot.
In desperation, I can only change hands. No matter how fast the change of hands is, it is impossible to achieve seamless connection. It is inevitable that light will be emitted. At this time, there are still a small number of barbarians squatting near the sea entrance. Wu Zhongyuan did not find them. But they saw Wu Zhongyuan. To be precise, they saw the purple light emitted by the oil lamp. This thing emits purple light. The recognition is too high. It was amazing, and they all grabbed their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky.
Because of the long distance, most of the arrows flew to the point of exhaustion and fell down. Only one giant arrow with a long rope flew close to it. Wu Zhongyuan moved horizontally by about 100 meters, and calmly avoided it, urging the Qinglong Jiaji Fly east.
When he got to the sea, the Yi people couldn't do anything about him. Wu Zhongyuan looked back and saw that the Yi people couldn't shoot him, so he started shooting arrows at Li Bie, Li Bie jumped into the air, dodged as many as he could, and attacked him. fly.
In just a short while, the wick started to get hot again, so I had to change hands again. When I changed hands, the wick was bright again. Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan complained and wanted to dive into the water and use the sea to extinguish the wick, but this idea As soon as it appeared, he was denied it by himself. The oil lamp was full of lamp oil. If it got mixed into the sea water, it would be useless.
In desperation, he could only push Qinglongjia to move quickly north. After changing hands a few times, he discovered a pattern. The faster the moving speed, the weaker the light emitted by the oil lamp when changing hands. This is confirmed. , he pushed Qinglongjia to the limit. The so-called limit is only the limit of his reaction speed. In fact, Qinglongjia can be faster.
As soon as the speed is fast, I have no time to change hands. In the end, I simply don't hold the wick, and I concentrate on speeding and flying. The light emitted by the wick at extreme speed is very weak, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Because of the acceleration to a speed that has never been reached before, a strange thing happened. The original whistling sound of the breaking wind gradually turned into a low dragon roar. At the same time, a blue dragon-shaped air wave appeared on the periphery of the blue dragon armor. , sprinting from mid-air like a blue dragon on the wind.
Wu Zhongyuan was not surprised by the appearance of this kind of abnormality in the blue dragon armor. The accident was because he did not expect that after wearing the blue dragon armor, he would move quickly and reach a certain speed. I don't feel very surprised because he has studied physics and knows that when the plane is flying from subsonic to supersonic, there will be a sonic boom. A sonic boom is also a change in airflow caused by a sonic boom.
At first, Wu Zhongyuan was worried that the speed was too fast and that Li Bie would not be able to keep up. Then he thought about it, forget it, let Li Bie go back to the stone room first, and let Li Bie run slowly from behind.
A man who likes violent driving is not necessarily a man, but a man who likes gentle driving is definitely not a man. This kind of rapid speed, the rapid speed of thousands of miles makes Wu Zhongyuan's heart beat faster, and his adrenaline surges, followed by excitement and excitement. People get bolder when they are excited. Wu Zhongyuan is like this at this time. In fact, the current speed has far exceeded his reaction speed, but he is still accelerating, accelerating, and accelerating.
The excitement is true, the excitement is true, but Wu Zhongyuan never lost his mind. He knew that he was taking a risk, but he also knew that his risk was not very dangerous, because there were no high-altitude and low-altitude air routes at this time. , No matter how fast you fly, you will not hit the plane. Furthermore, the faster the speed, the louder the dragon roar from the blue dragon armor. If you are close at hand, this sound can directly shock people to death. There are birds passing by from a distance, and they will avoid them early when they hear the shocking sound of dragon roars.
If you are always in a state of high excitement, people will not be able to bear it. It only lasts for half an hour, or it may be shorter, Wu Zhongyuan feels tired, and gradually slows down until he can clearly see the scenery in the mountains below.
Because I flew too fast before, I didn't know when it crossed the sea. After the speed slowed down, the wick began to emit purple light again. Wu Zhongyuan was both curious and surprised. He flew so fast before without blowing it out. What the **** is this thing.
It wasn't even 3 watch when he returned to Tianchi Volcano, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't wait for Li Bie from outside. He took off the blue dragon armor and carried the oil lamp into the stone room. He moved too fast before, and Li Bie was thrown far away by him. If you are in the back, you will definitely not be able to come back before dawn.
After entering the stone room, Wu Zhongyuan put the oil lamp in front of the furnace. It was only then that he realized that the bag was cracked. He eagerly inspected it and found that although the bag was cracked a few times, the contents inside were not left behind. Thanks to him These iron tree arrows are bundled together, if they are scattered, they must have fallen out long ago in the state of the previous rapid flying.
The oil lamp emits heat when it burns. I have never been wearing a blue dragon armor, and I feel too hot when I get too close. Fortunately, the stone chamber is a place where metal is smelted, and all kinds of metallurgical utensils are complete. After a short observation, Wu Zhongyuan got up and looked for it. A clip, use the clip to hold the wick up and pull it out.
The wick has the thickness of a pinky finger, and I don't know if it was originally purple or was soaked in purple grease, but it is purple. Pull out a little, and the flame instantly grows larger.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stopped. He had inspected a large number of dragon tendons in the stone buildings of the Yi people before, and had a general understanding of the tendons of snake creatures. The wick of this oil lamp is very similar to that of dragon tendons. Most likely a real dragon tendon.
If he just wanted the oil, he would just pull out the wick and throw it away, but now he wants to keep the wick, which requires trying to put out the burning wick.
After pondering for a while, Wu Zhongyuan came up with a solution, got up and brought an empty water tank over, put the oil lamp in it, and took a smaller copper plate cover to cover it. At this time, people have already started to use lost wax It is time to cast precise metal utensils. There are a large number of wax blocks in the stone chamber. After taking the wax blocks, they are melted by fire and dripped everywhere, and they are completely sealed.
No matter how miraculous things are, it is impossible to break away from the inherent laws of matter itself. Combustion needs to consume oxygen. As long as it is in a vacuum environment, the wick will go out.
This is the case in theory, and the same is true in reality. After half a column of incense, the oil lamp went out, and it should have gone out, because the temperature of the water tank has dropped.
Worried about the resurgence of the ashes, Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to open the lid. After waiting for a while, he broke the solidified wax seal and slowly opened the lid. No purple light was seen, indicating that the oil lamp was really off.
Remove the cover, take the oil lamp out of the water tank, look closely, the end of the wick after being extinguished is a little black, and it is crushed and broken by hand, but the part that was pulled out before is very tough. It is easy to confirm that it is not a big muscle, but it is tough and elastic.
After confirming that the wick is indeed a dragon tendon, Wu Zhongyuan turned his attention to the piece of white metal covering the lamp socket. Before returning for the first time, he had made up for metallurgical common sense. Through naked eye observation, this piece of white metal looked like nickel. Alloys, nickel alloys are divided into many kinds, the most common is nickel steel alloy, also known as stainless steel, the biggest feature of this metal is anti-oxidation. The sheet metal is obviously not a pure nickel steel alloy, and some other unknown metals should be mixed in it.
This piece of metal doesn't mean much to Wu Zhongyuan. What he cares about is the dragon tendon that acts as the wick. During the burning process, the wick will wear out slowly. The tendon is actually a ligament, and it will shrink seriously after peeling off. Different types of animals have different degrees of ligament contraction. Most of the dragon tendons he inspected before were between seven and nine feet in length. Common bows and arrows were about one meter five in length, or nearly five feet. The normal ratio is that as long as the bow is, the string must be as long.
The wick was already cold, so I pulled it out with my hands, pulled out a little bit, and looked down at my palm. The oil left on my palm was white, which means that the dragon tendon itself is purple.
After pulling out two feet, Wu Zhongyuan began to get nervous. The dragon tendon doesn't seem to be seriously worn out. It's possible. The reason why he's nervous is because there is hope.
Pull again, and there.
Three feet.
Four feet.
Four feet later, Wu Zhongyuan held his breath and slowed down. He could feel that the dragon tendon coiled in the oil lamp was running out. It would be a pity if it disappeared at this time.
No matter how slow the pulling is, the end of the dragon tendon still appears. Since the dragon tendon was coiled in an oil lamp before, it is bent after being pulled out. He is not sure if the dragon tendon is enough. Enough is just enough, and if it is not enough, it is only a millisecond.
The most intuitive way to judge whether it is enough is to use the spare bow body for comparison. If the length of the dragon tendon can be equal to the length of the bow body or exceeds the length of the bow body, it is enough, otherwise it is not enough.
A layman may think that the bow body is straight, and the size will be reduced after bending, so the bowstring can be slightly shorter than the straight bow body, but this is not the case, because it also involves the winding and binding of both ends of the bow body. Each end takes two to three turns.
The result of the comparison made Wu Zhongyuan break out in a cold sweat, not because it was not enough, but because it was just enough, and there was not even half an inch left, which was dangerous and dangerous.
The size is enough, but it needs to be tried if it is too useless. Take two spare arrows, roll one end of each, and try to pull.
Pull.
Infuse Reiki, then pull.
As hard as you can, keep pulling.
Wu Zhongyuan is very nervous at this moment. This ever-bright lamp has been lit for many years, and the dragon tendons have also been soaked for many years. He is afraid that the dragon tendons will be broken, but he has to use all his strength and cannot deceive himself. Pull with all your strength, and there is a possibility of breaking down when facing the enemy in the future.
After dragging and inspecting for more than ten seconds, Wu Zhongyuan slowly lowered his hand and let out a long breath.
